Ok if i remember correctly, you can open the apk with 7zip, modify the files you want to and they should work. I tried this with systemui.apk before and it worked..

I have had issues in the past using notepad to edit apk files. I suggest that you use notepad++ for editing xml and smali files. It can be easily found with a Google search. Using notepad will probably give you formatting issues.

There are so many guides in xda for editing/compiling apks...
guide 1
guide 2
guide 3
guide 4
You must install java jdk
And you must "install" framework for decompiling from that rom, that you edit:
copy out frmework-res.apk and systemUI.apk from your rom and move it to C:/apktool folder
then run a command:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
this will install framework files on pc
then run a command again
Code:
apktool if systemUI.apk
this will install systemUI files on pc.
Now you can decompile apks with
apk multi tool
it's easy to use
be careful with *.9.png editing! (search xda)
the *.xml files you must edit with notepad++ (free on web)
if you choose compile system apk, then chose y, and you will have a keep folder, if you decompiled a non-system apk, choose 1
("choose unsigned apk using keep folder option")
if you edited the png files, then delete in keep folder the *.png files what you edited.
if you edit any *.xml file then in keep folder delete the resources.arsc file
The non-system apk's you must sign with 13. (you will have first unsisgned-APPNAME.apk, then with sign signed_APPNAME.apk)
The system apks are signed with original sign, (you will have system-APPNAME.apk
Thanks Wechy77 i will try

If you can't decompile, then you sure won't be able to compile it back. so the files are useless

Why can't you decompile it, have you decompiled apk's before or is this your first attempt at this.

Check this then, before you decompile the apk.,
Open the apk with 7zip or whatever you normally use for zip files then look for classes.dex file, it will be in the main zip not in any sub folders, if there is one this will be causing the decompile error so extract it to your PC then delete it from the apk.
Now decompile the apk, do what you want, compile the apk then put the classes.dex file you extracted to your PC back in the apk.

Use apktool to decompile and recompile. Using something like 7zip wont decompile to apk properly.
Heres a guide on how to use apktool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891686

I always use apktool. When apktool fails 7zip fails too, maybe the apk was a bad compression or something.
I'll try with files from stock rom instead modified rom.
Thank you
I've installed the android sdk, java, and all the other fancy things I was supposed to, but cannot get Android Multitool to decompile any apk's.
This is the error log it throws out:
The system cannot find the path specified.
'apktool' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the file specified.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm lost as to what I'm doing wrong here.
Thanks,
I do not have Android Multitool, but I do have the apktool. Did you install that aswel?

I did. It's included with Android Multitool and I have it downloaded by itself. I would just use apktool, but I've never used it and have no idea what the commands to decompile/re-compile an apk are.
Thanks for the response,

If you open a cmd window in the apktool folder, type "apktool.bat decode <file.apk> <outputdirectory>". I have not tried recompiling anything with it though.
guys you dont install apktool. It is just a jar file with a few supporting files. You have to make sure you are in the directory that has apktool in it if you are using the stand alone. As for apkmultitool it could be a bad download. Check the other folder to make sure the jar files are there. I would use the latest apktool from the thread as it is the most up to date. Also keep in mind that there are a few different versions that maybe needed depending on the apks your working on.
