I found many threads of people who can't deodex Email.apk, Mobileprint.apk, even manualy, including every .jar in the baksmali.jar -c: xxxx.
Is there a Dev who could give us the command line to succesfully deodex Email.odex and Mobileprint.odex ?
Thanks
Edit 06/30/2011 : I am ready to donate for the help you could give me
Found the same threads you did.. I am researching this as well.. Will keep you updated if I find anything.
U don't need to deodex the whole rom, though you will need to deodex the whole framework.

i wana know this tooo
If ur not changing anything in the BOOTCLASSPATH files, u can deodex a single file
-app for eg.-, edit it and put it into ur device without deodexing anything else, delete the existing odex file.
u'll need baksmali for that purpose-apktool donot have that feature btw-also u'v to have framework files available (just pull the entire framework directory from the phone) pass it's directory via the -d option. App depends on particular jar files will require that through -c option.

That's the problem, even with the entire framework directory, I am not able to deodex Email.apk and Mobileprint.apk . Seems like if missing Bootclasspath ...
No problem manualy deodexing every other apks ..
I tried to deodex both of these files with omrij's tool and it was successfull.

I wonder if it ignores certain errors. If i use baksmali with the -I option, i can get deodexed output, But obviously the APK won't work.

I got it done for u method is a bit complicated though
First of all, Thanks!
Second of all, I'm much more interested on how its done rather than the apps themselves. I'd be very happy if you could share how by any means.

Deodexing is not my favorite stuff I do it for my personal use at times, I use my own set of scripts on linux with custom bootclasspaths.
Would recommend to have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions

I also wrote my own deodexing bash script with baksmali/smali/zip. The thing is, Those two APK request java libraries to deodex (java.awt.* and javax.swing.*). I could't find anywhere to get those dependencies from, So if you could share which boot classes you used for satisfying those requirements, it would be great.
Thanks!

I have found out how you do it, by checking my bash logs way back
Just use the -I ignore flag on the command, along with regular bootclasspath.
The errors are not an issue and the apps work fine.
Enjoy.

Hi guys, same here with Email.odex...
I'm not be able to deodex it...
Somebody can help me? Thanks!
Can anyone please direct me to the correct tutorial(or similar) on how to modify framework-res.apk files of 2011 xperias like St15i,st18i, etc.. ????
I have been Here but it is for the earlier xperias. Does it apply to today's xperias also ???
decompile apk using apkmanager , edit files and zip.
install apkmanager first and you will get to know everything, no need for a tutorial.

I'm using Apk Multi tool, since Apk manager is no longer supporting.
My problem is that the system ui apk i have is from a custom rom(Hybrom v11) which has control panel in the notification area.
Now when i'm decompiling the system ui.apk i get an error in apk tool, an error too technical in the log for me to understand.
I get an error in Apk Manager 4.9 too probably the same as apk multi tool.
So if error occurs some part of the apk is not decompiled right ?
If it is not decompiled correctly how am i going to edit the xmls and recompile it ??
systemui.apk needa dependencies to be decompiled. check there will be an option of decompiling apk with with dependency. when it asks for dependency file, point it to framework-res.apk

Just now did that. But apk tool says that framw-res is not the dependent apk. So what is the solution ??
decompile it without dependency and post log here.
Strange now i'm not getting any error . I really had that problem today morning. Thanks for Prompt replies prateek
Any way one off topic question . Can you tell me how to mod power menu. I want to add reboot and recovery in power menu for my st15i . Do i have to add images for it ??
its not in systemUI afaik. there is other file I forgot its name.

i have a problem to decompile an apk, it's the framework-miui-res.apk, when i try to decompile with apktool it give me a warning (W: Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/popup_item_single_normal.9.png". Renaming it to *.png. ) anyways it decompile all the files and i can edit it, but whan i try to compile it's a completly mess, give me a lot of errors
i was googling it , and i found that the error is because there are two files with the same name in xml files, i try to replace it, rename it, using different tools and version of apktool, making "apktool if", but i just can't make it compile. any ideas?

Your problem was stated on the decompile. The .9 issue will throw up errors on everything when it is the only thing wrong. Might want to ask on the MIUI site
already did that, but there's no answer

Have you tried fixing the .9 png ?
yeap, it creates two files when decompile, one is 9.png but is trash(0kb) and the other is the .png file, i try to rename the png (with 9.png) delete the 9.png file but it didn't work.
also i decompile another framework-miui-res.apk from another rom(without error) , extrac the 9.png replace in my rom and still no work.

Ok just renaming the png to a .9 will not work. .9 pngs are special made pngs with a special border system. Can you decompile and recompile the apk without the error?

Sorry I don't touch anything from MIUI. There are a few threads around. Search for an MIUI themeing thread and they should be able to help you.

, thanks, and no there's no thread with the solution for this, and i think the problem is not only in miui roms, and have other apps that i cant compile
i wonder if there is another way to compile wthout using apktool

The only two choices are using apktool or compiling it from the source code and making your changes and using apktool. What version of android is it for? ICS needs 2 versions. One to decompile and one to compile. I have themed every OS version I have used and with the right searching and some trial and error it has always worked. Including ics
it's based on android 2.3.7, and try that also(using 1.4.2 to decompile and 1.4.3 to compile)
Hallo, I tried a lot of apktools and aapts but I am unable to recompile framework-res Every time resources have diferent size than stock framework-res and I have no idea how to hack them. If some one allready hacked them please help here! Seems Sony using an totally new aapt tool which is not public? I tried to recompile framework-res without modifying them but every time I getting boot loop.

framework from stock???
Yes
Note: mean about modifying xml files, not drag and drop from the one to the another... ! I have resigned all apks (including framework-res) and have no boot loop but framework-res can not be recompiled and signed, only signed! Allso drag and drop not working if xml files is modified! Hope you understand what I mean?

Have U tried to drag 'n drop AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder from stock to modified framework-res and overwrite everything ( of course using archive manager )??
I needed to do this in my MIUI port ( CyanogenMod10 based ) for X8, because after every recompile I needed to copy them to not get bootloop

No, I have success in resigning unmodified stock framework-res, so META-INF have no sense because new META-INF is signed by new key and its working! There is problem with "format" ...seems Sony have his own aapt and apktool which making totaly diferent "format" than apktool and aapt that we using. I tried many of the aapt | apktool but .arsc have totaly diferent size (allso png files is with totaly diferent size)... !
Have u used the apk manager by diamondback??

have you figured out the problem yet??
and one thing I wanted a favour........
I wanted to change the rotation fix for your MIUI to back to its original state..... decompiled the framework-res.apk from the MIUI and changed the some values in framework-res/res/values/bools.xml and then recompiled it and when I replaced it with the default one I was getting the status bar of different width from the original..... it was almost double..... I also tried by just replacing some images just for test and the same thing happened........
Can you tell me whats the problem is????
Hey bro,
Even I was stuck with this issue for a while I think it was Spaun_Studio who found out how to fix this issue Its basically to do with apktool not bundling the required nxt drawables as needed Anyway, Here's the fix :
1) After decompiling, go to apktool.iml and delete the following lines :
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Go to res/values and open styles.xml. There, delete all references to sonyericcson.uxp:drawable (Delete the entire line)
Then, compile and it will work
Credits to Spaun_Studio and not me for the idea
Cheers

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?¿
