[Q] how to use apktool DeskClock.apk

hi devs,
is would like to modify an apk! after some google-work, i found apktool to decompile & to compile the modded! but without success!
what i have done? (OS=linux)
download (aapt,apktool,apktool.jar) to /usr/local/bin
adb pull /system/app/DeskClock.apk /home/htc/
cd /home/htc/
apktool d DeskClock.apk ./out
change the /res/values-de/strings.xml and save
apktool b -f -d out (compile the folder to new apk)
adb shell & cd /system/app & mv DeskClock.apk DeskClock.old & ^ctrl+D
adb push /home/htc/out/dist/DeskClock.apk /system/app/
ok, in my opinion that should be all, but it doesn't work!
i cant see the Clock App on my Droid.
Can anybody say me, were is my misstake?

I'm not very talented in Linux, but your steps seem to be right. I always used Windows at work, so I do only know the apk took for Win XP
But did you check if the recompiled file has the same size as the original one?

sorry for my poor english.. i write this guide by request.
this is pretty simple thing..
1. decompile framework-res.apk
- you need apktool.jar 1.4.3 version to decompile ics apk.
download 1.4.3 : http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
download 1.4.2 : http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool1.4.2.tar.bz2&can=1&q=
(if you have problems with 1.4.3, use 1.4.2 instead)
2. open /res/values/bools.xml with a text editor
3. find "config_showNavigationBar" and set to true
4. to turn off capacitive buttons backlight, maybe you need to edit arrays.xml
- it does not work on my nexus s but seem to be working well on some other devices..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 5 [WVGA devices only] it would be better to slightly resize navigation bar height to avoid keyboard overlapping problem (see this post).
(or you have to lower lcd density but that cause app compatibility issues)
: open dimens.xml and find the line "navigation_bar_height".
and you need one more step to compensate buttons sizes.
download : http://www.mediafire.com/?758mnayrlt3dee4
this zip include 4 png files. add those files to SystemUI.apk (/res/drawable-hdpi/) using 7-zip or other program. (replace original PNGs to these files).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. recompile
- you need new aapt.exe from latest platform-tools.
download : http://www.mediafire.com/?0q52u6v8vdkpq1i
7. done
*if you don't know how to modify apk file, read this post first.

Where did you get apktool 1.4.2?

How would I disable the onscrwen keys in twlauncher 4. 5? Cause we already configured the ics keys to be our softkeus?

can someone please help me with using apktool and decompiling my framework-res?

I'm not having any trouble with decompiling, but after making the necessary changes to bools and array, I can not get it to recompile.

Same here, getting the same error when recompiling it -_- 3 people have told me it's because aapt isn't the ICS version but I updated it 3 times and even asked someone to upload and I get that same error.

Yep, i did the same thing with aapt. I triple and quadruple checked that it was the ICS compatible version, but still no dice.
I don't know. I'm still patiently waiting for a proper developer to throw together a version for the Incredible that has the on screen nav buttons since i know next to nothing about this stuff, but seriously, this process looks so simple yet I'm having so much trouble with it.
Even if i did get it to compile, I'd be stuck because adb never wants to push or pull files from my phone.

You can always copy it over and set permissions (although it usually crashes before you can), or put it in an update.zip. The update.zip method is my favorite.

How does that work? Sorry, I'm pretty new to all of this. Do I just zip up the framework apk, name it update.zip, then flash it in CWM? Or is there more to it?
If it's that easy, that would be awesome, if only I could get the apk to compile.
I'm so frustrated with this that I'm about willing to offer a donation to someone who could do it for me, although it would be much more satisfying if I could get it done on my own. Maybe I could give a donation to someone who could successfully walk me through it. The offers out there of anyone wants to take it.

Were you able to get it to work with that?
I found a work around two days ago. I took the customized XML files and put them in a Metamorph zip file. I ran it and it successfully changed framework-res.apk but the navigation buttons still wouldn't show. Now, I don't know much about this, so I'm not sure if doing it that way should have worked, but if it should have, it didn't, which would mean the instructions in the first post are incomplete.
I'm doing this on my Incredible, so maybe the ROM I'm using is missing something else. I have no idea. I've tried it on three different ICS ROMs and it didn't work on any of them.
When I get a chance, I'll try it with the new aapt.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium

Thanks for that new aapt, it works. It recompiled everything, but the file size is 4mb smaller than the original framework-res.apk. I get nothing but bootloops now. I also compiled with APK Multi Tool which also worked, but with the same results - bootloops.

Would it be possible to enable the soft buttons on a gingerbread ROM?

[Q] Sense Multitasking Recents Mod for CM10.1

Hello everyone! I beleive this is the correct forum, so let me begin.
My brother recently got an HTC Droid DNA. Ok phone, laggy in some aspects that it should not be, but overall pretty cool. I have fallen in love with Sense Multitasking. I love the sleek look of it, and the reflection at the bottom.
My question is:
Is there any way to get the Sense Multitasking Recents for the Nexus 4?​
I understand certain files would need to be edited and decompiled, and I would be up for doing this. A flashable mod would be preferable, but I have been unable to find one that works. I have however found these two mods, which do exactly what I'm looking for, but for other phones.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245793
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227191
I have found guides, but most of those guides are for CM9/10 ROMS, and they do not work for CM10.1 for whatever reason.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066740
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589963

So, in a way I'm bumping this. By digging deeper through the interwebz, I managed to find this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188545

C:\Users\Connor Baker\Downloads\apktool1.5.2>
So yeah. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :l Any help would be gladly appreciated!
Connor Baker

Found what might be the problem (or one of them...):
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=424
The path appears to be invalid, "C:\Users\Connor Baker\Downloads\apktool1.5.2\framework-res\res/drawable-land-xhdpi". The backslash should be a forward slash. How would I fix this?
Connor Baker
Totally lost and way out my league.

Alright. So, because I really would like to have the Sense multitasking screen, I decided to re-install Ubuntu, in an attempt to see if a different OS fixed the problems I was having. Unfortunately, it didn't. So for whatever reason, I have decided to use the java version of the command.
I did find something interesting though.
When I run the java version of the command:
Code:

I get quite a few errors. But what made me wonder is when I do the same command, except with the flag for aapt (-a), I not only get fewer errors, but a different "Caused by"

I am now thoroughly, and utterly lost as to what to do. Again, any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated.
Many thanks for your time and patience,
Connor Baker
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that I do Google a bunch of my errors and try to be as proactive as possible about solving my problems. I notice that a lot of people are getting the same errors that I am, and that different things will fix it.
I think it could be as simple as apktool not working correctly for me.
So, here's a list of things I have and have not done:
I did install Java (JRE, and JDK)
I did set up the Android SDK (Ubuntu)
I do have working adb (Ubuntu)
I did try to use a variety of programs to get the decompiled and editied .apk's to compile back
I did notice that if I decompiled framework-res.apk, and then tried to recompile it without editing it, I still got the same errors. I'm getting the creepy feeling that it may just be apktool. The latest version that I found was made back on the 2nd of February.
I did try Chainfire's fappt (fast aapt), and recieved the same results as the normal aapt.
I did switch out the aapt from the apktools package with the one in the Android SDK.
I DID NOT mess with any environmental varibales in Windows
I DID NOT add anything to my PATH file/directory "thingy" in Ubuntu
NEW: I have NOT edited SystemUI's public.xml, which may be causing some issues.
Thanks again,
Connor Baker

I would like that and I am following development closely, but right now in the short term (and possibly for the long term as well), I really want to get the Sense Recents Menu look... I find it quite sexy.
Thanks for reminding me about the port though

The fact that this mod works on devices without sense would say otherwise.

I know there is a sense recent-apps mod for Xperia Arc S, also windows phone and more, cause I had an xperia arc s... What I mean is sense recent-apps could be ported

Actually this feature of sense recents was present for the galaxy nexus and worked on aosp roms. It was even included in aokp but it was eventually removed.
Sense port isn't necessary.

Oh. My. God.
I think I figured it out. I decided to use a different PC (my Dad's), and got the same error. I then read through it as closely as possible. I found out that I couldn't compile because it was a path error. I hadn't specified the correct directory. I feel like an idiot
Well, now that it's fixed, I will try to build an compile and test it out

I looked through the guide, and I'm slightly confused with the smali editing.
"
STEP - 2
DECOMPILE, SystemUI.apk
go to - smali/com/android/systemui/recent/RecentsPanelView.smali
find this line method :
Code:
.method private updateThumbnail(Lcom/android/systemui/recent/RecentsPanelView$ViewHolder;Landroid/graphics/Bitmap;ZZ)V
Delete that line until its .end method
Code:
.method private updateThumbnail(Lcom/android/systemui/recent/RecentsPanelView$ViewHolder;Landroid/graphics/Bitmap;ZZ)V
-
-
-
DELETE UNTIL .end method
-
-
-
.end method"
Does that mean that from that line onwards (line 861-2081 beleive), until the very end of the page, I just delete the 1000+ lines of code? Or do I stop at the first .end method that comes up after the desired line (.method private updateThumbnail(Lcom/android/systemui/recent/RecentsPanelView$ViewHolder;Landroid/graphics/Bitmap;ZZ)V)?
By the way, thank you a ton for your help! I'm really eager to get this working!

not until the very end line of the smali you delete it,
only on that .method..
and each method on the smali has their own .end method
or if you still dont undesrtand just upload me your RecentPanelView.smali , I'll edit it for you

I'm getting this error now for the status_bar_recent_panel in both res\layout and res\layout-land. The only thing I can think of that would cause this problem is a typo or me not copying and pasting correctly into the .xml file.
Also, I attached the files that I thought you'd need if you wanted to take a look at the problem.

I'm getting this error now for the status_bar_recent_panel in both res\layout and res\layout-land. The only thing I can think of that would cause this problem is a typo or me not copying and pasting correctly into the .xml file.
Also, I attached the files that I thought you'd need if you wanted to take a look at the problem.

Ok. I'm getting stuck on the boot logo, but that's progress.
Both .apks succesfully compiled, but here's the thing: I compiled them using CMD pompt, not apk multi tool. So, I'm not sure if I need to compile the .apks in a certain way, and that's why this is happening, or if something is else going wrong :l
Uploaded the .apks that I compiled.

My question is, you are having bootlop or systemUI closes ?
if bootlop , means something wrong with your framework-res.apk, try not to edit framework-res.apk yet,. just use your stok CM10.1 framework-res.apk.
but if you having systemui closes means something from with your editing the systemUI.apk

Although not the right thing to do, I can remove the line with 'android:actionBarNonEmbeded' in them in Eclipse and there is no problem after deleting those 3 lines. But can't simply delete lines with 'android:searchViewTextField' as it throws up too many other errors, mostly same for other attrs.
I have surfed tons of pages at stackoverflow, xda and some other sites... but couldn't crack a solution. Can't add a simple + to @drawable either, obviously.
Reply by connor.tumbleson here on code.google.com might be answer but I couldn't figure out what to do.
url - code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=441#c20
So, uh, pls help!
Note: Of course, I'm installing the framreworks first (framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and systemUI.apk). And have tried apkMultiTool v3.4 and some other apktool based solutions too. Nothing helped.

First of all, thansk for the tip!
I removed the layout portion of that line that actually made reference to photo_updates_header file. So, that actually didn't got me those error, but it didn;t build an APK file despite showing exactly that in cmd. Here's what cmd says:
D:\apktool>apktool b c1 111.apk
I: Using Apktool 2.0.0-Beta9 on c1
W: Could not find sources

I: Copying unknown files/dir...
There is no APK file built, tho. Which is bad, and surprising. What do you suggest?
[I'm using apktool 2.0 beta9, and have Java 7 installed on Win8.1.]
Edit:
Is there a way how I should remove the reference to photo_updates_header file? Should I just delete the whole of line 9 that is making the reference?

as posted apk must be builded in dist folder of your decompiled apk , no errors that says different.
that reference is about missing traslation, just warning u can keep it(no harm in apk compiling) or add a line like this:
<string name="photo_updates_header">photo updates header</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in res/values/strings.xml on bottom of all strings
lemme know

Nope :/

Hi _alex74_,
Adding the line <string name="photo_updates_header">photo updates header</string> didn't work. Very sad.
Please suggest something else.
Can you reproduce the problem at your end? Can you recompile it or not even when it's untouched?
Here's the link to contacts APK that's been torturing me: __www24.zippyshare.com/v/59685951/file.html__
Thanks a lot!

Use Apktool on Z1c

Official download here - http://www.coolapk.com/apk/per.pqy.apktool However, latest version is 6.1, and hasn't worked well for me with stock rom. 6.0.5 works perfectly - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1niPALD2vPeNmh6bVRjOU1mZ0k/view?usp=drivesdk
Steps (stock Sony 5.1):
- Download and install
- Make a folder in /sdcard called apktool, (or something), and copy 3 system app files there - framework-res.apk, Semcgenericuxp, (or whatever it's called... it's in framework folder).apk, and SystemUI.apk.
- Open apktool, navigate to apktool folder, and 1 by 1 tap on those 3 files and select 'import'. You should get success messages for each one. If not, don't bother going forward from here, it probably won't work. Framework-res will take a while. You can monitor status of import with 'task' option.
After that's done, you should be able to copy any apk to that folder and decompile. Here's how -
- Tap on apk file and select 'decomplie'. In the next screen, check box for 'run as root', then tap 'decompile'. When done, if successful, you will get a new folder called '(name of app)-src', with all decompiled files.
- Use a file explorer and editor to make changes.
- Go back to apktool and long-press on src folder, and choose 'recompile', and 'run as root'. If successful, a new apk will be created called '(name of app)-src.apk.
This is your new apk, but it has to be signed. Here's how -
For system apps:
- Using a file explorer that can explore apk files, (I prefer Mixplorer), go into the new apk, and delete android_manifest.xml file. Then go into the original of the same apk file, and copy android_manifest.xml file and META-INF folder to the new apk. It's now signed and ready to use. Just copy it to the appropriate system folder, and rename and set permissions 644.
For user apps, (installed into /data):
- Use apktool app, and tap on new apk and select 'sign'. A couple of seconds later you should get a new new apk called '(name of app)-src-signed.apk, which you can install normally.

(Updated)

Its works now for decompilling and recompile?

Yes

Found a newer version here - http://onhax.net/apktool-for-android-v5-2-0-all-versions-is-here-latest - I guess with version 5.0+, you don't need /sdcard/apktool folder but all files are included in app. Anyway, it has more promising-seeming settings, but I still couldn't get a successful recompile so far. I wish I knew how to understand the errors. I bet someone could tweak the app file to get it to work on our phone...

Update - got success on KK. Installed Munjeni's .108 ROM, used latest apktool set settings - 'apktool version: 1.5; aapt version: 4.4; device has root: yes', copied /system/framework/framework-res.apk, /system/framework/semcgenericuxp.apk, and /system/priv-app/systemui/systemui.apk to /sdcard. Tap each framework file and select 'import as framework', then tap systemui apk and select 'decompile all'. When done, you have systemui_src folder for editing. I didn't edit anything, but just for test tapped systemui_src folder, and chose 'recompile', and got success, with new apk created. Signed, and moved to system, and works.
Now I'll keep working on lp. Interesting, here is latest output on recompile -
I: Using Apktool 2.0.0-07ea41-SNAPSHOT on SystemUI.apk
I: Loading resource table...
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...

Seems to be no errors, but no new apk is created. Any ideas?

apk is created in apktool\SystemUI\dist folder.
I tried 2.0.2 (with TMA) and it's working on 5.1.1.

Just a bump, in case anyone else is interested. Version 5.02 is working well with latest fw for modding 3rd party app, (see my recent posts here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929663&page=178#post64177685 Also, another user here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359240&page=12#post64180188 - seems to be getting success with system apps...

What are you trying to do,(decompile, recompile, which apk, etc). Also, if you wipe data on Apktool app, you delete a necessary file in /data/data, so you have to reinstall the app.

Bump - new version 6.0 released - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...ggrMAQ&usg=AFQjCNE1AnZq9tew_xjnR7hOPN295_PWhw
Version 6.0.6, (a user's mod - I haven't found a difference from 6.0.5) - https://yadi.sk/d/pwh1wHLXkU3qB

New version works for SystemUI on stock 5.1. Successfully nodded navbar XML and recompiled. Make sure to check 'aapt 5.1' option in popup box when recompiling.

How do I get the key for that version of the app?? Every other version is free but it tells me I need a key for 6.0/6.1 apktool. Also I'm having a recompile error with ApkTOOl 5.2 it is unable to execute the aapt files I guess. I've tried aaptnew aapt5.1 aapt4.4 and aapt5.0 none of them work. But decompiling does work. In order to get decompile to work though I had to go online and download IBotPeaches apktool_2.1.1.jar and replace apktool_2.0.0.jar with it to decompile. I'm on my Note 5 running the first release of Marshmallow.

Great. Let me know... For some reason 6.05 works better for me than 6.06 or 6.10.

Bump for op update...

Just found this - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686015
Uses apktool 2.2 jar, and no startup wait time, and twice as fast as other one...
