Add item to settings.apk

Hey all,

Glad to see this tool here! it sure has been a life saver. I have searched XDA and this thread but did not find an answer to my question. Can anyone point me in the right direction for modifying the menu of the system setting? I want to add a line to start an application. I've modified the xml, bool and values folders but when I recompile and load the rom.....the changes are not there.

I do realize this is the wrong thread, but you guys would know how to do this.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
If you have the source then its much easier, its hard when its only an apk.

Your point of contact would be those programming in native android.

I'm not that elite on root source since i am using Basic4Android.

ICS framework-res.apk from Incredible 2 sense , I am using the lastest version of xdaAutoTool 4.0.3

Whenever I success decompile the framework , I always have errors and the compilation failed doesnt mind which version of apktool I try:eek:

System Error 53

I'm using xdaAutoTool V4.0.3 (apktool_1.4.3.jar) to recomplie and build a theme.

Installing framework and decomplie & recompile fine but when I goto to build I get System Error 53, File not found.

I've searched but can't find results on this error.

Looking at the error log everything goes fine and just stops in mid path:

Extracting res\drawable-hdpi\com_android_vending_ic_menu_market_explore.png

Extracting res\drawable-xhdpi\frameworks_res_tab_press.9.png

Extracting res\drawable-hdpi\com_andro

I've tried using apktool_1.4.2.jar just to see if this changes anything but it doesn't.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I could look at to try and fix the issue?
[Desire Android Development] android addicts:
I think using this tool we can compile and decomile any device apk and jar file. But when i follow your guide, i can't see FileRegister.exe file in /Res/ folder. Can you give it to me.

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Fileregister.exe wont work with w7, thats why i removed it and mentioned that refister the ocx manually. Im not sure if the older versions uploaded has it. In any case, registering an ocx is all over google or yahoo search.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Did it really extract fine or some pngs have errors and cant be extracted?

Try this new apktool and modify appt. Hes taken over bruts work.

Im not sure if automatic classes.dex re injection is already there. If it is no need to ise my build usable apk. The output in apktool folder itself might be usable.

No errors on extract.

I'll give the link a try.

[Desire Android Development] 1982Strand:
Hey XJ :) Long time no see, hehe!

If you want to include iBots apktool, you have to include his aapt file too. This apktool and aapt covers both MIUI and other roms, up until 4.1.x.. Not 4.2 yet. Only issue is with htc.com.resources. And no auto injection of res and dex (yet)

Oh and btw. with the latest smali/baksmali, it isn't necessary to define a bootclass path ;)

I got this error when trying to decompile apk 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.. I have last JRE and JDK installed. Anyone know where is the problem ?
[Desire Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
Check java is in your path ;)
[Desire Android Development] miso00:
How ? Or where ? In autotool ? In Control panel in java settings is C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
[Desire Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
Start by checking java is in your path:

Open a command prompt: Start menu, run, « cmd »

Display java version: « java -version »

If prompt says you that java is not a recognized command, it is not on your path.

Go to control panel > System > View advanced system settings

New window appears.

Go to « advanced » tab and click on « Environnement Variables... »

Find « PATH » system variable and edit it to append « ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin » (don't forget the « ; » as path separator).

You could check java using a new prompt and « java -version ».

(official Oracle documentation about path: http://java.com/en/download/help/path.xml)
[Desire Android Development] miso00:
Thanks much. It works now. But I got another error while decompilig by this tool. It doesn't make an yml file. I have to decompile by CMD and apktool.
[Desire Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
You're welcome.

If you are aware of what you are doing, I prefer to use tools with cmd prompt instead of tools as xdaAutoTool.

Not xdaAutoTool is bad, but you have full control of what you do and easily understand what happend when something works bad...

Re: [TOOL] V4.0.3-xdaAutoTool RELEASE-Windows | V3.0.2-autoAPKTool | V1.0.3-autoDeoT

You need to have the latest java6 installed if you have a windows machine. Delete the older Java from the class path and the path. Add the newest java's path into the class path and path.

Example: My path was:

;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin

(this is the path to my java.exe).

My class path was:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin"

In the path you need to use a ; to separate the paths.

In the class path you need to wrap with "

It should be the only thing in you class path so you shouldn't need a ; at the front.

Make sure the path to the adb.exe is there as well. You don't need it in the class path.

Note: You can move your cursor over to the far left side of the code and right click to move unseen portion of path into view for deletion after you have started to delete from the right side.

Yes, I know that I don't have the newest version of the jdk6. I actually have it on a flash drive, but too busy with other things and am easily distracted.

can i edit .jar files with xdaautotool ?and how?
[Desire Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
Jar file contains .class file (java binary) compressed with the zip format.

To get .java files (java source) of you jar, you could use jd-gui.

Edit those .java files then compile it then jar it.

As far as I can remember, autoAPKTool works for apk file, not jar.

Alright lads, I`m wrecking my brains trying to get my icons to APK, but I`m a total rookie when it comes to anything got to do with code.

At the moment I`m trying to use the1dynasty`s icon template, I get so far by following the video but between that and the written instructions, there not a complete step by step for people like me, when I run into problems.

So I ask please if anyone knows of a step by step guide, be it video or text, as to what to do from the beginning, be it using the1dynasty`s one or the AutoAPKTool, I`m at my wits end...

I`ve searched to the best of my knowledge for other solutions, but with my limited knowledge, I came up with nothing, I appreciate any and all help/advice, cheers!

Are you planning on updating xdaAutoApkTools? It would be great to support the latest apktools and maybe add a feature that automatically transfers the build/apk/res folder to _CUSTOM_RES/ that you just recompiled?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
It supports.

Just put the latest apktool jar in the same folder and change in menu. Changelog of v3.0.1 makes it dynamic and explain how. I'm using apktool latest jar file in miui v5

2nd one vague, or it might be me. Red folder after decompile will have option to transfer to _CUSTOM_RES then recompile?
[Desire Android Development] shoman94:
I tried using v2.0 apktools and it would not recompile. So I figured something needed changing. I'll try it again...

I'll make an example... when you recompile the framework-res folder... I would like a framework-res folder to be created in _custom_res and also the framework-res/build/apk/res folder to get automatically copied over to the _custom_res folder... follow me?
