Hello XDA brothers.
I am running Android APK MULTI TOOL for recompiling and decompiling an APK. When I decompile it, it goes smoothly. But when I attempt recompiling, it gives A LOT of errors stating at the end "... is not defined". This is not an after-mod error because I tried recompiling it right after decompiling, without even opening the decompiled folder. It still gives the same error. Kind of frustrating. So, can anyone help?¿

But you just said to deodex them files -.- Hold on, lets start again.
I want to decompile a non-system apk file and then recompile. Decompile goes smooth but while recompiling, it states a BUNCH of errors saying "........ is not defined". This is what I want to fix about

system folders shouldn't be signed. Make sure you didn't sign it.

You could manually deodex the files using baksmali, I would recommend taking a look at this guide here for instructions on how to deodex the files.

Yes you should use the same api level for all the apps you want to deodex to avoid inconsistencies.
So should I deodex each app individally using this scheme
baksmali -a 15 -x APP.odex -d framework -o APP

where APP is name of app I want to deodex (app from system/app and from system/framewok)
Am I right?
I want to be sure that I understand this process
Did you try dsixda kitchen?

Correct that is the syntax that should be used, you could technically make the output directory name whatever you want it to be put for simplicity and organization I recommend making it the same as the app you are deodexing (So if your deodexing calculator it would be best to make the output directory calculator as well to keeps things organized).
I've just run deodexing on dsixda kitchen and it seems working, I had to set API level to 10.
I have problem with spktool. I have newest release and the problem is that I can decompile every app but when I try to compile anything back, there is no apk file in folder and lot's of errors in console. I tried it manually and using terminall tools but every way doesn't work for compiling :/
(I'm trying to translate MokeeOS and LewaOS)
i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there

If you've read my guide, you would know that you'll have to add resources.arsc from new app to old app and then push old app to your phone

Yes, I got that error when I try to pack Setting.apk. It's because MIUI apk use some directory notation that not standard to apktool.
Ex. values-hugeui
I solve this by changing values-hugeui to values-xxhdpi (or maybe values-xhdpi, don't know that hugeui means exactly). If values-xxhdpi exists, you can try to merge all files and config in it.

May I correct my wrong answer, MIUI use its own apktool & aapt. So to rebuild MIUI apk you should add ~/path/to//miui/tools to your $PATH environment and it should be at the start of $PATH to override other apktool & aapt.

hi
thanks for your reply
now i update my apktool but after compile decompiled package its not work
even after i use below swith when decompilation
apktool d -s -r b15.apk
you can chack the compiled apk and signed not work correctly .
Is that after doing your mods, just because it builds with no errors doesn't mean the mod hasn't broke something.
Also alot of apps are starting to add code that will break it if it is modded in anyway. Many paid apps are doing this to prevent pirating the app or getting some of the paid features for free. There is nothing you can really do if this is the case.
