can someone post a direct link to 1.0.5? the download link from apkmultitool.com leads me nowhere.

thank you.
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
When you click the download it takes you to a mini advertisement just street 5 second a skip add button will appear upper right click it and the download will start
[Android Software Development] starbucks2010:
The ads is not changing and the link doesn't appear anywhere not even after a minute of waiting. I think that there are other ways for posting a simple download link. Tried with 3 browsers, tired of ads .... gave up.

Thank you anyway.
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
I am sorry the ads pay for the site as nut enough People are willing to donate enough money to cover cost of the servers as well as development of the Application as I need a new computer as mine is dead and my mother n law has banned me from touching her computer and my wife will not let use her computer other then once or twice a week if that and that is not enough time to get much done. I will see what i can do.

Getting: Java not found. The jre6 is in the Program Files folder so I know it's installed. Droid@Screen works great. Is there something I'm missing? I have a tendency to over think everything, so my mind is just looping on this. Any help would be appreciated.

Note: Windows XP on service pack 3
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
Go into the docs folder and open up the APK Multi-Tools doc an read through it t there is a Section that tells you how to fix your system environment to where the app will detect java. As it seem that your system environment gotten corrupted.

IBotPeaches is hard at work trying to fix as many bugs as possible with the apktool.jar. If you are following his thread on the apktool.jar you can post the systemui and frameworks res files there and the APK file in question an that can help him further his research and come up with a solution quicker.

Here is his thread:

Strange Error

Having a wierd problem. I am trying to sign an APK in the "place apk here for signing" folder using option number 17. It runs like normal signing the apk, then when it is done the APK gets deleted from the folder and disappears. When i look at the APK tool log it says that the file is missing, like it was never there to begin with. I had this working fine a week ago, had to reinstall windows for other errors not related to this. Now i cant get it to work, i have tried Java 7 and 6, i have set up the environment variables. Android SDK is installed and ADB works. Really at a loss. Even downloaded the old APK Muti Tool 5.0.2(From your official website) that is now obsolete, and got the exact same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Software Development] AndyOpie150:
Windows XP with service pack 3

;C:\SDK\platform-tools;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe

APK Multi-Tool is in the SDK folder where the SDK manager is located.

SDK Manager is only finding the j2re1.4.2_01 that came with the XP OS
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
Try uninstalling both and reinstall 1.6
[Android Software Development] AndyOpie150:
Thanks for info. Wasn't sure what direction to go. Had thought of doing that, just have a problem with over thinking. Think I'll make a restore point in case I get system glitches due to the loss of the j2re1.4..2_01. Guess I should edit the path as well before deleting.
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
I was going to suggest editing the environmental setting path to point to 1.6 as per instructions in the apk multi-tools do documentation in the docs folder.
[Android Software Development] AndyOpie150:
CLASSPATH AND QTJAVA read: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_01\lib\ext\QTJava.zip

The problem that I see is the jre6 doesn't have a QTJava.zip in the \lib\ext folder or any folder that I looked into.

Now what?
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
Try deleting that do the jre6\bin instead
[Android Software Development] AndyOpie150:
No Go. Maybe I should downgrade to an older version of APK Multi-Tool. The previous one at least let me extract and decompile. It was not recompiling the .jar file properly but figured it was something minor I had overlooked. Then I started having problems with my system and wiped the hard drive, but it didn't load the supplied drivers for the wireless keyboard (it did for the wireless mouse). I ended up waiting a couple of months before I could afford a wired keyboard. By then you only had this version on your site. Two versions back might not be such a bad idea either for this XP OS.

If you can't find an older version let me know. I'm not crazy about going outside the source for things of this nature and installing them on my PC. Might just have to find someone who can edit the framework.jar for me.
[Android Software Development] willjohnson:
So I did a little more research. It appears that i am having a Java heap space error. I did a litte research on this and unless someone knows how to explain that part to a noob i believe i have hit a brick wall. Here is the log to make sure i am looking at the right info.

Move the Android SDK out of the program files directory s as there its a space between the words which the Application cannot resolve so move the SDK directly to the c drive

Minor updates to the website which includes a new section called blog which will be the official news and updates as well as a new mobile application that its in alpha testing which you can get the download link off the blog
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
This should be fixed with the new updates to the APKTOOL.JAR

as Support for Android SDK API 13 which is Android 3.x APK Files
[Android Software Development] waterpolo:
Brut.all will release soon a new apktool which is supporting the sdk api 13.

Her is a link to a beta 1.4.2 version.

This is working for vending 3.3.11 :D
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
Lol yea that is what I was talking about but I already compiled the source lol
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
Right now I am working on some updates if you cannot wait until a official release build you can download the a copy off my github

https://github.com/ApkMultiTools/APK-Multi-Tool

I am not ready for a official Alpha 3 release but I am only waiting on Brut.all to finish with some updates to Apktool.jar before I do a release.

Changes thus far

Added Switch decompile mode

Added ability to decompile jar files

Fixed Random Startup bug (hopefully)

Updated the Android SDK TOOL SET to Latest Versions

Added Required Files for application /other folder content

Other changes I may of forgotten

AUTO UPDATE script on launch of apk multi-tool ( may move it to a manual script )
[Android Software Development] zelendel:
Running it through the paces as we speak
[Android Software Development] mohamobo:
Hai..

I downloaded from github then went run script.bat i got this message.

The program can't start because cygwin1.dll is missing.

Any help?
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
try again I updated the git with the missing file it should run now hopefully if not I will revert to a different version of wget
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
remember download the github with caution as there is features and other things that may be harmful or just down right now function as many of the features on git is experimental at best and i do not feel ready for release for actual use as they are mainly for testing purposes and fine tweaking as well as if people want to add to or even help.

main thing with the git version i am testing out auto update scripts but will be removing them shortly as I am just going to have a custom update application instead that you can run to update with in case you do not wish to update right away
[Android Software Development] mohamobo:
and now i got cygidn-11.dll is missing =.='
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
okay I fixed that bug requiring the cygwin dll files as I originally compiled the source code with cygwin and must of mucked up some configurations.

I am also working on fixing the update script and hopefully will have a standalone version of the update script that will better fix the source instead of the method I am using right now

like I said there is a reason it is on git and not released yet lol as you see broken parts
[Android Software Development] mohamobo:
New from git working without error went start script.bat and yes i know it alpha 3 :)

Hello mate´s ...

listen, i have Java installed, BUT, i get always the message after running the script ... that i don´t have java :confused:
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
Have you read the manual in the doc folder?

It has instructions on how to get the application to detect java
[Android Software Development] MultiCulti:
:eek::o ups ... no, didn´t ... wil do it now
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
The current version of the application does not support apk files above froyo ie android os 2.2.1

With the upcoming pending release which can only be accessed through my github for the application but even that version does not support it yet since I am waiting on some more updates to the java source of the apktool.jar before I compile a the updated source.
[Android Software Development] memnoc:
Thanks for this tool...maybe it is what i looking for..just to be sure..

I used to decompile apk for sense rom, but with apk manager or apk tool you cannot compile an apk with modded png9 inside..you get error, and even if the apk being recompiled, the modded icons are not inside..so I was wondering if this tool allows you to mess up with png9 without any special changes..
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
OKAY to be able to use this tool after editing xxx.9.png files do this take the xxx.9.png files rename them to xxx.png then run the files through draw9patch

Follow this TUTORIAL on how to use draw9patch before moving the png files back into the folder in the project and recompile

http://android10.org/index.php/articlesother/279-draw-9-patch-tutorial
[Android Software Development] memnoc:
Thanks for quick reply;) ok but I've just had the png9 modded files, and them are working..my problem is that I have to update my theme to another firmware base, so I need to replace the stock icons with the custom icons...have I to re-edit png9 again?
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
There has been a update to the github with a new version of apktool with gingerbread support alpha test build from brut.all which the working source is not released yet.

Just the Android sdk path nerds to be without spaces because of APK Multi-Tool everything else can be installed normally
[Android Software Development] AndyOpie150:
Well.....Remember how I said it might be something I had overlooked, it was and then some.

After struggling with the Java not found issue I had several versions of it in the Java folder that I couldn't delete fully, so I decided to do another full Disc wipe and recovery. This time when I went to delete the trial Norton antivirus program using IObit's Uninstaller I paid it a little more attention. When it completed the scan for leftover items I looked every one over carefully instead of just taking it for granted it had only found those items that where from the Norton antivirus program and blindly choosing to delete all.

I found it had chosen a few that where not from the Norton Antivirus program and chose not to delete them. I think this may have caused my problems with the Java and the SDK Manager as well as your Great Utility program. As a result of not deleting these files everything installed flawlessly (made sure I put the java.exe from the jdk and the jre into my systems path), even managed to install some updates to the platform-tools and tools folders in the SDK folder.

I had also found out that I might not have installed the proper version of Java. I learned through my research to resolve the previous problems that the JDK version was indeed what I needed to recompile the .apk's and the .jar's. Before all I had was the JRE that I had installed to get the Droid@Screen to work properly.

I do appreciate the time you took to help get my brain functioning properly and get the creative juices flowing (at my age I need all the help I can get), and for your work on this great utility program to help those like myself to be able to do those things that would have required more time and knowledge than is possible in this hectic life.

Hopefully this info will help other's who might be in the same situation. I reasoned that if it was working for most everybody else, it had to be something I wasn't doing right. Sure enough that was the case.

EDIT: When it came time to recompile the jar file it was only 1KB when done (It originally was 3,162KB before decompiling it).

What am I overlooking? Everything else was flawless. Pulled the .jar from the phone, extracted,and decompiled, but option 11 is not working for me.

I get these errors when I decompile my SystemUI.apk, does anyone know how to solve this error??
[Android Software Development] AndyOpie150:
2.3.7

It doesn't have any problem recognizing the .jar's as long as you pull them from the phone's /system/framwework with the program. If you pull one from a ROM you have on the PC your working on and place in the modding folder it won't recognize it. It doesn't have a problem recognizing the .apk's at all though.

If you want I could pull apart a 4.0 and see if if it will recognize the .apk's. Could even install a 4.0 to see if it will recognize a .jar that's pulled from the /system/framework
[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
My phone is on ics 4.0.4 already so I need the jelly bean version 4.1.x
[Android Software Development] AndyOpie150:
No Jelly Beans for my phone yet.

All I do is take ROM's from one phone and graft them into a suitable host ROM for my phone. Editing the framework-res.apk, the framework.jar, and maybe a system app or two is really not that hard, now that I have APK Multi-Tool. The hardest thing I do now is finding a suitable host ROM and finding a suitable kernel to gain the most system and app stability and the best performance, and editing the build prop.

Working on perfecting the LeWa ROM. I have a select number of testers that give me precise feedback and an unbiased opinion that really help. Just need's a few more tweaks and I'll release it to the masses.

I actually like the LeWa way better than ICS. I might just try to figure out how to make it so people can change the background color of the UI. Give them a few options, the one it has is too white for most people. Don't know if this is even possible. Necessity is the mother of invention though.

[Android Software Development] maped:
So bro, I formatted my pc because I was no longer able to decompile the systemui.apk (I had no problem with ICS ;) ).

I've try seven (7) different version of apk-multitools and apk-manager.

With windows 7 ultimate, clean, only with the last SDK (API 16), Java and the correct path (C:\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin), JB systemui can not decompile it in any way, now I'm going crazy :o (but no problem though with the framework-res.apk with change the resources.arsc file).

If you need to log the error (error 22) or tell me anything that I do it immediately. I attach the systemui.apk that decompiles not in any way.

Thank you so much for your hard work for the android community ;)!!!
