what's the framework-res.apk to use to decompile apks in apktool? i can't decompile even one apk because it says the framework installed is wrong.
also maybe can someone attach the original stock settings.apk for lww?
:thanks:

The framework-res.apk you need to install is the one which comes with your rom. You may need to install some other files as well, depending on which files you're trying to decompile.
Best thing to do is go through your system/app and system/framework folders and install everything with the word 'res' in the name. You might install some files you don't need, but this won't cause any harm and it will ensure you've installed all the resources available.
Solved by installing SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

I am trying to make default theme for xperia neo v
Using apktool, decompiling defaultthemes.apk file during the process i get this error.
in the above image its home.apk, which i was just trying to decompile i get this same error for defaultthemes.apk too
can anyone give proper tutorial to decompile any apk file..
apk is from which android version ? because till ICS de-compiling and re-compiling apks works fine, but not for JB apks. I dont know the correct method though.
Everywhere i just got one answer. : update android sdk. Get ADB, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from platform tools and update Apktool, then it should work fine. but didn't worked for me, better try on linux system
I have use apktool to decompile an apk and made some customizations on it, there after recompiled it back using the same apktool. But for recompiling SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files were needed, anyway i downloaded it from some sites and now the recompiling has done successfully. So i need to know what exactly are these apk's and where to get these apk? I had googled it several times but did't got a right answer, all i understand is that both that apk's are part of rom.
I'm looking for a little bit of guidance. I want to modify some apps but when I do I can't seem to get them working on devices.
I am happy with the use of APK tool and zipaling, and have successfully modified my SystemUI.apk but when I try to mod apps it does not work.
I have tried modding the apk in data/app and just replacing the file and tried modding the downloaded apk and try to install.
My process:
Decompile (APKtool)
Mod
Recompile (APKtool) - with errors
I add the files from the original APK that errored during recompile with 7zip
Zipaling
Transfer back to the device
Devices
Samsung S3 mini & Nexus 7 - both running stock rooted JB 4.1.1
You need to sign the apk before you can install them. Get the signapk.jar and either get the test keys or make your own keys. Once the zip is final (after 7zip) sign the apk and then do a zipalign.
Unless you are sure that the compilation errors are serious, consider fixing them.

I don't have much experience in doing this.
Maybe the logs show you what error you are getting?
Are you able to simply decompile and then recompile/resign without making changes?
