Well if test-keys work for a system apk then your ROM already doesn't care for signatures anyway.

In that case you disabled it the wrong way, ie. you made the opposite edit you should have made. You basically tolld android that all signatures are INVALID instead of telling that all are VALID.

Best bet here is to revert to the backup you made before editing the system files and try again :)

I think I fixed the shell issue (remote pulling files for importing/framework installation). Seems to have been a timing issue when calling the shell commands.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] lukakas:
Yes. Weird the Virtous Ten Studio accepts androidmanifest.xml edited to compile with old keys on Android 4.3 but when I do the same with 4.4, androidmanifest.xml edited will be discarded. It's not about my ROM but with KitKat feature that I related below.

Well, I don't know what is wrong but only my system apps are working.

I can't explain about kitkat function but this guy tells why kitkat won't accept androidmanifest.xml edited in system packages and maybe test keys/signature check issues: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2520980

I tried to do what he said, works good, yes Kitkat will accept my systemui.apk old keys with androidmanifest.xml edited but when add new system apps (like sony system apps), kitkat won't accept it as system app installed, even not modifying anything in sony apk.

Thanks for reply.

Hi,can someone help me pass this error "cant find any apktool binary" while instaling frameworks? Why is this happening? Thanks
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Lordomn:
Try adding a framework res-apk from the framework your trying to decompile
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Please check the VTS install directory, there should be a folder like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Virtuous Ten Studio\External\ApkTool" and there should be at least one apktool binary in there. If not, something went wrong with the installation. In that case, restart your computer, download VTS again and install again.

[MENTION=4848543]Diamonback[/MENTION]

One feature/fix that I'd like to suggest, if I could, is the ability to add resources with the same name, but different types (example: string "notification_panel_camera" and a corresponding drawable "notification_panel_camera".png)

This is especially necessary when adding quick toggles to 4.2+ Touchwiz roms as when the system looks up the text and image resources, it expects them to have the same name ([string, drawable]/notification_panel_camera)

Thank you for the awesome suite otherwise, I don't do any modding without this program. It is exceptional
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Okay here is your problem:

Did you recently install a new java version or something like this? VTS has stored a java path but can't find it anymore. To solve this, you can enter the java settings of VTS and try to auto detect the java binary again or specify your java binary manually.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
I'm not much into that kind of modding, can you please quickly explain why this is currently not possible and/or how you would like to have the current system extended?

Do you want to have a button or something that does this automatically or what exactly do you need?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] luxandroid:
I tried to re enter java path several time ,same thing happens
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Did you restart VTS after doing so?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] luxandroid:
Hm...belive not very same moment but eventually yes, VTS and laptop...will try again
[Virtuous Ten Studio] CNexus:
No no, to be clearer, it's mainly a small bug fix for VTS. Currently you cannot add resources that have the same name, but different types, using the Resource Manager

for example, if I have a string <string name="vts">VTS is cool</string>, and also a vts.png in my drawable folder, only one shows up as eligible for addition to the public.xml using Resource Manager

It seems that VTS, when scanning for new resources, only checks to make sure that ANY resource with name xxx has been added, not that a resource with that same name AND type has been added

Just a small fix, awesome program otherwise

Thanks for the quick reply :good:
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Ok, I think I fixed this one. :)

So I'm trying to theme snapchat again... I'm only changing the images so it compiles fine but when I install and open it force crashes. I've been told to remove meta-inf, but I can only see the original one. Is there any way to change the signature error or do I need apktool to merge the changes to the original apk?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] asdfasdfvful:
I am pleased to say that after many attempts, VTS is finally functional for me. It is as always the best apk editorI I've ever used, and far surpasses apktool and even eclipse in terms of simplicity (for a noob like me) However, I have two questions

I currently have a .keystore, but I need to use pk8 and pem for VTS. I've tried using the java keytool to convert it, but to no avail. I'm a PC user, so is there any other way of doing so? (Or is there a detailed tutorial?) Additionally, I noticed that sometimes the xml is not in alphabetical order, but in the order of the time it was edited. Is there anyway to change that? (or easily search a file name in a folder rather than its content?)

On a final note, thank you guys so much for making this program. It is truly the reason I am able to theme apk's today. :good:

Change gauges

Hello

I would like to edit the blue gauges. Despite my research, I can not find the information that is necessary for me

I am under UX2014 revolution, a stock based ROM.

I looked in my ROM a png file (named app_gauge.9 on some ROM) or a hex color code (ff468bb7 and reverse code ie 00b97448) that matches but could not find. Does someone can help me :confused:. Thank you

[Virtuous Ten Studio] Mr Hofs:
My first guess would be that it is some file called something like "progress_fill.png" or something in that line, and it would be in some resources or framework apk......

First off- I love VTS. It is simply the best tool for manipulating everything android.

I am, however, having a problem w/ deodexing a framework that was extracted from a RUU. Seems to pull code and convert to classes, but will not complete the process through to the output folder. Any advice?

I have attached a log of an attempt to deodex one framework file.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] asdfasdfvful:
I've only used VTS to theme before, but in your log, have a look at

17:45:56.819: [Error] - ApkTool.CompileApk: 'ApkTool: C:\Users\Ebert\AppData\Local\Temp\E7840A\res\value s\ids.xml:607: error: invalid symbol: 'interface''

(so in ids.xml, line 607, "interface" should be changed)

Often times, one small error can produce a massive log. Find the line that tells you which xml (and which line) has an error and go from there
[Virtuous Ten Studio] CNexus:
If I may, I have two feature requests that would be great if implemented.

1. Ability to open multiple instances of the program/have multiple solutions open (maybe have a tabbed selector for the current workspace visible solution to go with the tabbed files pane?)

2. Ability to run logcat viewer as a standalone program/without needing the main VTS program open. The viewer included is just awesome, and I feel it would be used more often if able to run on it's own.

Thank you in advance. Of course, I have no idea how hard these may be to implement, but they are simply suggestions.

I've changed the default work folders to my usb, but I can't seem to get the settings to save there. Regardless, it will save in my documents folder. Any ideas?

And as for compiling, does VTS distinguish between compiling a user app and a system app? A new guide from TBO shows that it is better to compile as system to show the errors

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
I really hope this isnt the final OTA...turbo-scroll seriously drives me nuts and (although slightly better)...its still there.

That is unless they are leaving little quirks like this in until the last minute to prevent widspread updating to unofficial builds or before it goes over-the-air.

I have decided im done with leaks until the 100% official ota hits. and if you happen to read this samsung....i dont care if it takes another month to fix turbo-scroll, just %$#% fix turbo-scroll!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
kc_exactly, do you have an inside person to relay bugs in FD24 to? If this is going to be official, they need to know about the bluetooth reconnection issue. I know bluetooth has been discussed in this thread but mainly about "quality", which I think is better than GGB for sure, less crackling.

Bluetooth bug: This version of ICS (FD19 and FD24) do NOT remember what was paired with it and requests each connection to pair with your device. Therefore, it also asks if it can download the contacts everytime as well. I'm pairing with a kenwood car stereo unit that has reliably connected without asking everytime on ICS below FD19 and any GGB versions.

[Also would be nice if they would just remap the pause/play button back to what it was in GGB.]

Otherwise, I find very little fault in this ROM. I sure wish they would increase the stock text limit to more than 10 people at a time....but that's what Calk is for I guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
Did you do any kind of restore because I noted this was one bug that was actually FIXED in FD24. On a clean install, new pairings worked perfectly. There's a bug still that for phone and a2dp type headsets, on reconnect, it'll reconnect both even after you unselected one or the other..

FD26 still has bugs (and I'm sure the official release will too), but for most people it should be pretty usable.

There aren't those showstopper bugs that everyone will complain about. There are bugs some people will complain about.

Possibly the MTP / USB Mass Storage mode annoyance will end up being a big deal in mass distribution if they don't address it but if you know how to workaround it, it wouldn't be big deal to you.
