Can someone tell me how to modify Sony ICS apps?
Which apktool I need to use?
I have errors when decompiling/compiling apks - framework problems (frameworks are installed!) .
I want to change some mismatches in Official ICS port, but i can't.
Can anyone give me an instructions?

whats the error exaclty?
do you have all these things?
1.install both the frameworks(framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk)?
2.update your sdk and copy aapt.exe from platform-tools to your apktool directory then reinstall frameworks and try again
3.get latest version of apktool
So:
Both frameworks are installed.
SDK is up to data and I copy aapt form platform-tools to apktool directory (size mismatch: platform-tools: 805kb - apktool original: 5.19 mb -> is not wrong to copy aapt form sdk to apktool folder )
Apktool version: 1.4.3 (http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list)
Errors:

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I'm on windows XP.

I can upload apk that I want to 'make'.
There is one thing I need to do: change some values in one xml file.
I can upload moded file too.
Framework-res.apk
You must install framework-res.apk with this command:
Code:
apktool if framework.res.apk

copy aapt.exe from the link i gave to apktool directory, INSTALL FRAMEWORKS AGAIN and try normally
Phonebook.apk is hard to edit. You need to change some others 'strings' in many files in decompiled apk and probably it's not all... SemcMusic.apk is easier to edit.
I edit my SemcMusic.apk, but in phone I can't run it.
For now I'm on stock so I do not test and make changes in any apps.
FEEL FREE TO POSTING ANY IDEAS It can be helpful for some people in future.
I want to decompile SystemUI.apk for editing, but the problem is that it is already themed and decompliling throws many errors at me. Any idea how can I edit that "already edited" SystemUI.apk. It has been taken from Custom Rom (JB 4.1). Thanks

I decompiled my systemui successfully without and error But when recompiled it i got "syntax of the command is incorrect" (i didnt touched any file)although it said success and there is no log inside 1-BDFreak folder but when i moved my apk to priv-apps it didnt worked
I gave right permissions,deodexed rom,installed framework and java
My android ver is 4.4.2
Hey everyone !
Every time I try to compile a 5.0.1 TW SystemUI I've got this error : "[Fatal Error] AndroidManifest.xml:1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog"
With all other SystemUI it's fine.. Anyone know how to fix this ?
I resolved the problem myself by extract META-INF and androidmanifest.xml from original apk and not from the "original" folder.
