[Q] Apktool help needed - Legend General

Hi Guys!
I'm reposting this here as I have a hard time building the framework-res.apk:
Code:
apktool b res framework-res.apk
where "res" is the folder in which all the files are (in the same folder apktool is)
this is what I get:
Code:
C:\Users\Romca\Dropbox\Android\Programs etc\APKtool>apktool b res res.apk

The resources are there - I just replaced those with different png's
And for the other errors - I just took the previous .apk, decompiled, edited battery_charge.xml to suit the pictures i used, edited public.xml in values to delete the pictures I didn't use - there was 26 of them, i used only 17...
Any hints?
Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just done a quick search and all I could find was other people with a similar error they said using the latest version fixed it maybe you are using an old version?

Nope, the newest I could find, but I partially solved it by installing framework files, but I still can't figure out how to use more than one file while decompiling...

im a novice so im just starting to learn how to edit apk files.
Im sure its something to do with Value Xml file but as said im still learning.
if anyone could help it would be appreciated thank you.

If you are decompiling an apk to remove images and recompiling, you cannot just remove the images. You must also remove the references to those images in the xml files.
Also if you edit the xml files, the apk tool / manager or whatever suggests that there is file that you have to delete (resources.asc I think? - its been a while.)

[HOW-TO][29/MAR] How to setup APKTool & Decompile, Recomile, Sign, and Zipalign APKs

[HOW-TO][29/MAR] How to setup APKTool & Decompile, Recomile, Sign, and Zipalign APKs
Decompile, Recompile, Sign and Zipalign APKs
Since there aren't many tutorials out there on how to decompile, recompile, sign and zipalign the framework-res.apk, or other APK files, I decided to create one myself
Decompiling, editing, recompiling and signing It can yield a number of results, for example, you can edit the values, add custom images, fix some issues, or just go on an adventure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[WHAT YOU NEED]
1) A computer
2) The APK you want to edit
3) Latest Java Development Kit (JDK) (Download and Install with default settings http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp)
4) Some resource files, which I have bundled into on convenient zip, found here.
5) The Framework-res.apk from /system/framework
- In the case of it being an APK from an HTC based ROM, you will also need the com.htc,resources.apk, found in the same directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[STEPS]
- Initial Setup
- First download the zip from above, and extract the files, into C:\Android\APK
- Then, install the JDK from the link above, to the default location
- Then, go to Start, search for 'Environment,' and choose 'Edit Environment Variables for your Account.'
- Now, edit 'PATH,' and 'CLASSPATH.' (If you don't have them, just add them, and name them PATH and CLASSPATH)
- - For PATH, give this as the Variable Value: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdkXXX\bin;" (Without Quotes)(XXX is the JDK version you have)
- - For CLASSPATH, give this as the Variable Value: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdkXXX\jre\lib;" (Without Quotes)(XXX is the JDK version you have)
- Install the Framework:
- Now, move the framework-res.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk (If HTC), to C:\Android\APK
- Press shift, and right click in the folder, and open a command prompt window from the dropdown
- - Type in: "Apktool if framework-res.apk" (Without Quotes) And Press Enter
- - If it is an HTC ROM, Type in: "Apktool if com.htc.resources.apk" (Without Quotes) And Press Enter
- If this goes successfully, you can remove these two APKs from the folder
* NOTE: Everything above was ONE TIME ONLY *
- Decompiling the APK
- Now, copy the APK that you want to decmopile, to C:\Android\APK
- Open a command prompt window there
- Type in "Apktool d xxx.apk" (Without Quotes, and replace xxx with the APK name)
- Once this is done successfully, you will have a folder with the APK name in C:\Android\APK
- You can now make any edits you like
- Recompiling the APK
- Once you're done editing, go back to C:\Android\APK
- Open a command prompt window, and type in "Apktool b xxx"
(Without Quotes, and xxx is the name of the folder where the APK was extracted)
- Once this is done, the new APK can be found in C:\Android\APK\xxx\dist (xxx is name of folder where you extracted the APK)
- Signing, and Zipaligning
- Now, there are two ways to do this.
- - Either you install DSIXDA's kitchen, from here, and use that to Sign, and Zipalign
- - Or, you send me the APK, and I'll do it for you
* NOTE: Always Sign, THEN Zipalign *

Hmm, for that, we have to use 'aapt.exe' I will post a tutorial for it soon

Nice guide! Question is do you have to sign system APKs? (Such as framework-rés.apk or SystemUI.apk)

Yes we do, use SignAPK

Reading that, I seriously have no idea :S Im no expert, just know basics, so I wrote this tutorial. Try Google? Really sorry :/

There is a problem with older versions of APKtool, in that they break the formatting of some of the XML tags in framework-res.apk, which is why your recompiling fails.
Check this thread for how to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601511
However, I think the newest version of apktool.jar fixes this for us. You can download this version at ibotpeaches' thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28366939
As well as the newest version of apktool.jar, you also need the updated aapt.exe, which can you grab here:

There is a problem with older versions of APKtool, in that they break the formatting of some of the XML tags in framework-res.apk, which is why your recompiling fails.
Check this thread for how to fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601511
However, I think the newest version of apktool.jar fixes this for us. You can download this version at ibotpeaches' thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28366939
As well as the newest version of apktool.jar, you also need the updated aapt.exe, which can you grab here:

Hi Guys,
m on IceColdJelly 0.8.2 and want to disable the 180° roating. So I decompile the framework-res.apk. Than i set in bools.xml (res\values\bools.xml) name="config_allowAllRotations">true< to false. And than I want to recompile it but look at this.
I try to fix with this. I cant find anims.xml, layout.xml & raws.xml in "framework-res\res\values"

1. Why the stock framework-res.apk is 12mb big and my recompiled & signed framework-res.apk 9-10mb? its the same with 1 different (name="config_allowAllRotations">true< to false) [recompiled apk = ~10mb, stock apk = ~12mb]
2. I delete the framework-res.apk from the Rom and insert the recompiled one. And the Rom dont boot >.<. I have sign it.

Dont know about question 1
Answer#2 copy it to system/framework, but you have to change the permissions too. Go into recovery, advanced, fix permissions, and then boot )
If you have more questions, just post here

Also, if you cant copy it to /system/framework, then just boot into recovery, and go to mounts and storage, and mount system. Then connect to a computer, and type in the following adb commands
Adb remount
Press enter.
Adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
Press enter.
Then fix permissions
Ps, for the adb commands to work, the framework-res.apk needs to be in the folder with the adb and fastboot files on the computer
