Getting "Object not set to an instance of an object" exception

Hello,

Today i wanted to extract the code of the newest SoundCloud app, all was going well until i got the error.

I think virtuous ten studio tries to open something in the smali editor and i think that that something doesn't actually exist, but that's for you people to judge.

I have added a screenshot of the whole window with the exception in the log.

With kind regards,

Niels Koomans.

Md5 check fail

why did my downloaded file md5 is : 15588EDBEDC454D5F0FC544D83067514

but The official is :

Download: Virtuous Ten Studio 3.6.30.14100

Released: 30.06.2014

MD5: 303BB0108B91C80FFFDE486C685D8BAE
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
Your internet connection must have been unstable at the time of download. Try redownloading the file then verify the md5 again. this happens sometimes especially if you download on your phone and you happen to switch towers during the download. Driving down the freeway while downloading can cause this. No so much anymore but in the past this has happened to me. If you are downloading with your home internet then i don't know. Just download it again.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] scrappy610:
Ok, probably a dumb question, but my apktool isn/t installed in c:/users/xxxx/apktool its located in the appdata/local folder. This works fine when installing the frameworks however they don't show up in the vts window. is there a way to redirect where it looks for installed framework files? I don't want to change it as the command prompt and everything else I use looks in this location.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
VTS needs to have apktool jar files placed in it's own apktool directory which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Virtuous Ten Studio\External\ApkTool. So first make sure you have the latest official release of apktool in this folder. Once you do this, VTS will do the rest when you import frameworks they will be imported automatically by VTS and there's no need to do anything else. It just works. Remember to name your frameworks accordingly like i mentioned above. this is very important!. Do this and you should have no problems importing your framework files unless there is a compatibility issue with apktool and your device's software.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] scrappy610:
I understand that. Ive used vts in the past and recently came back to it. I have the apktool jars in the right place, and it installs the frameworks fine. My problem is, I had apktool installed on the pc before installing vts. For whatever reason on Windows 10, apktool installs to user/appdata/local/ etc. At least on my installation. If I open that folder I see the framework files installed and tagged appropriately, but vts doesn't show them in the installed frameworks window due to vts looking in user/programfiles/apktool/framework or whatever specific location it looks. I was just curious if I could change the location it looks for the framework in. I'm sure it works fine as is, I just can't see them when under settings add/remove frameworks section.

You also have to update smali and baksmali files the files that come with VTS are outdated.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Negan:
Hey guys so i have used vts for a couple years now and love it. I use it for almost all my themes i have on google play. It has come to my attention from users who use lookout security app (which is basically carrier bloatware) that my themes trigger lookout. It flags it ask riskware saying it cannot determine the authorship of the app which leads me to believe theres an issue with the way it is signed. Anyone have any advice on a way to proceed to correct this? Besides the obvious tell users not to use lookout!
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Spannaa:
How does VTS sign apps?

Is it via a .keystore or a public .pem & private .pk8 pair?

Either way, if the key(s) are generated using the correct info, any apk signed with them should be OK.

Have you tried signing the apk manually or via Android Studio to see if it makes a difference?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
Your problem is not with vts, it's with apktool version. and the decompile/recompile process. Another thing is that ASKS is a new security feature in the latest samsung software that detects malicious apps. It appears to be doing it's job. The way you need to do it is like this...

First make sure you're using apktool version 2.2.1 and smali/baksmali version 2.1.3, (not newer versions). Then delete all of your imported frameworks and reimport them fresh using the deodexed files from your rom project. Next decompile Lookout using the advanced option in vts. Do your mods in resources then build it using level 1 compression and ensure it is set to rebuild using the correct framework tag and keep original signature.

Now is the trick that usually works great. Install 7zip on your pc. Make a copy of the original untouched deodexed Lookout.apk and put it in the Build folder of the Lookout project's folder. Now right click both the original and the newly modified Lookout apk's and put the windows side by side. Simply delete the res folder inside the original Lookout folder then drag & drop the modified res folder from your new modified Lookout.apk. Leave the resources.arsc file alone in the original Lookout.apk. &zip will automaticall update the apk and it's compression on the fly with no further actions needed. Now try this apk in your rom and see how it does. Depemding on the mods you did, it should not trigger any alerts from ASKS system. Good luck.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Negan:
Thank you for your reply. I'll explore these options tonight and see what happens
[Virtuous Ten Studio] BrandonBaskin:
Is this application currently being supported? Used it a lot back in the day, doesn't seem to be working for Android 6+
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
Current support seems to be on hold as far as I can tell. but yes it does work for me with Android 6.0 and newer as long as you use the latest apktool and smali/baksmali. When creating new projects, set the target API to KitKat and it will work fine. Apktool handles API anyway but for the VTS application setting it to KitKat allows it to function normally. Yes VTS needs some minor updates but it does still work fine for me. I use VTS and TickleMyAndroid. Each application has it's pro's and con's so using both tools gets most jobs done for me.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Negan:
Ok so I'm trying to figure out how I can use my own private key that I've generated in Android studio. The reason I want to do this is because I'm making LG themes which consist of 30 apks inside the main apk and having 30 seperate projects is just ridiculous where as I can have all 30 in a solution in vts and quickly sign them all with my singing key which just makes more sense and is easier to organize. Does anyone know how to do this? When I try to select my own key with vts it looks for a .pk8 file. Studio gives you a .jks file. So I'm a bit stumped on the best way to go about doing this. I'm open to any suggestions anyone may have
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Spannaa:
I had to do this a while back and found a reference that worked for me:

Exporting private key (pk8) from java keystore

You can grab the latest 32bit/64bit OpenSSL zip from here.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Negan:
Thanks buddy. I'll take a gander at that.

I meet the minimum requirements as said on the vts site

I had a serious question: would you share the VTS source with me if I promise not to give it to anyone else?

I am willing to update the VTS source if you'd be willing to share it I will recompile it... I assume it's written in C++ but that's just a guess. You'd have to fill me in on the compiler you are using but I imagine any c++ compiler will work but it depends on how you have it setup so please if your answer is yes fill me in.

If so I would be willing to update the api's and the smali versions as well as the apktool versions. It's such a shame that this project has gone down the drain and no longer gets updated. I would be willing to take this project on if given the source?

After looking at the compiled source I think it may be written in visual C# which I Love lol and so hope it's written in visual C Sharp ???

I'd assume you would share for purposes of updating, but then again I'm not sure how close you hold the project? I can't imagine that close given you haven't updated it in over 3 years though I don't know for sure so please feel free to contact me at any of the these three contacts.

Please contact me via hangouts or Gmail: pneuma1985@gmail.com I'd post my cell # but not in the forums ;)

Sincerely,

Thankyou for everything you've done for the community
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
For what it's worth, VTS is an amazing toolset and has served me quite well over the years. I can only imagine the amount of time and work that has gone into this project. I also hate to see it slowly drift into the "obsolete" category because it only needs a few things updated. I would have to say that VTS is hands down the single most appreciated application that I have used for Android work along-side ApkTool and Smali/BakSmali itself. With this said, I understand that minimal donations as well as having the time to dedicate to a project like this must be the reason it has not been updated. Coming from a person who has used VTS for a few years, I can honestly say that if it was a paid program and was regularly updated & supported, I would have no problem paying upwards of $100 for this program due to the fact that it is that great. I feel confident others who have used VTS for ant length of time would feel the same. This is a very high quality toolset that I consider the "best tool in the shed" so-to speak. I look forward to seeing this project continued, however people must also understand the whole Android and device manufacturers implementing locked bootloaders/dm-verity which hinders the kind of custom Roms/Mods we create here. At some point if these types of road blocks continue, then tools such as VTS become pointless and a waste of time. So take these things in consideration because it reduces the amount of potential devices and users that can use such an amazing toolset. I'm all for continuing updating this software.:cool:
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Pneuma1985:
Absolutely...I hack even the best of software *cough* adobe using the non infected painter7 tool directly from painter himself lol. Though I must admit I'd pay at least 50$ for this if it were updated on a regular basis Though I didn't pay for it originally and I have about 4 peoples keys lol I must admit that was strictly for m10 stuff I thought it was a waste to pay for that... But for the software itself I'd pay at least 50$ to keep the project alive which is why I am willing to dedicate alot of time to the project and recompile its c# source for free of course and I'd absolutely never share the source EVER!!!! I imagine diamondback has some secrets hidden within the software...
[Virtuous Ten Studio] joefuf:
I was hoping to edit the AndroidManifest.xml with this program. Is that something that I would be able to do?

I downloaded the setup from the DropBox link above, but whenever I start the program, I get the splash screen and then nothing ever loads. Is there something more that I need to do? Running Windows 7 if that makes a difference.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
You don't need VTS to edit .xml files. Use Notepad++ to edit text and .xml files. Use Apktool and a current apk tool set to decompile your apk's. I recommend TickleMyAndroid due to it being regularly updated and it's ease of use and the multitude of options :cool:
[Virtuous Ten Studio] joefuf:
Hopefully this is all easier than I expected, but I was trying to install an older apk of Google Calendar on a new phone that has a locked bootloader and cannot be rooted (yet). I decompiled with apktool and got the AndroidManifest.xml file, edited it (so that it had a higher version than the one installed and wouldn't get stopped for being a downgrade), but when I tried to repack it with the apk, I got an error trying to install.

Any idea how I would repack the updated AndroidManifest.xml into the apk?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] lukss12:
You can't modify the apk and install it as an update of official Calendar app... That's the reason why apks get signed ( well, one of the reasons)
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
Without root I'm afraid you're out of luck. If you can't uninstall the pre-installed Google calendar first then any attempts to update the stock google calendar app with an older unofficial/modified version will fail.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] joefuf:
Yeah, I figured it would encounter issues with Google's end if I managed to modify anything anyway. I'm giving up and selling this phone and getting a model that can be rooted. Thank you both for your help.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
That would be your best option! Do some research. All of the latest Samsung's will have locked bootloaders.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Pneuma1985:
Anyone that knows C# please step up? I got ahold of the source code tonight, but I have to go away for the next 3-6 months for work I can not be part of this project until then. I am well versed in C#, but I need someone to step up who also knows C# please no n00bs I need someone who has at least modified a bunch of C# b/c thats basically what you'll be doing for know. Updating the current project which you can imagine is a big project. You'll need to update the smali/baksmali versions, the apktool, and the apis which encompases a lot of files as you can imagine.. All versions of settings within the compiler itself inside of VTS and a ton of more files... So you have to be up to doing alot of work after you regular job every night, or at least a couple nights a week to help a couple of other people. Please if you want the source code message [MENTION=7504260]trevorlee0201[/MENTION]. He shared the source code with me. I will share it with as many people as I can who are serious about the project but if you write any malware or bad code into it I will have you banned from these forums I promise you that! You will need to show me or [MENTION=7504260]trevorlee0201[/MENTION] a project or anything you worked on before I or he will share with you... I'm sorry about this, but I don't want this project to become a piece of malware that we can't track down... So only serious devs aloud! I hope [MENTION=7504260]trevorlee0201[/MENTION] abides by this after sharing the source with me... We want to take VTS into the future now infect people as I'm sure most of you can understand. I am a serious programmer and I will know if you are a programmer who devs to infect projects. I've been on this path before many times and I've gotten a ton of you trying to write code that is garbage into a huge project we would all benefit from. So as I stated serious DEVS only! If you can't show a serious project you've worked on or modified you will be rejected. Sorry for that, but I believe we have to rules for this project otherwise it will go where we don't want it to. Thankyou guy much appreciated!

Can't find any apktool binary

Hi all,

I have been trying to use VTS lately but as I try to decompile an apk file. I get this error message :

"Can't find any apktool binary"

I have loaded into the external folder the most up to date apk tool version.

A little help is highly welcome.

Thanks a lot
[Virtuous Ten Studio] tx_dbs_tx:
VTS installs imported frameworks to the old legacy location. C:\Users/"your name"/apktool/framework.

ApkTool no longer uses this location, therefore VTS will not be able to find your imported frameworks.

So what you must do is import your frameworks either manually with command console or by using one of the currently available ApkTool utilities. (I recommend TickleMyAndroid) Apktool now installs imported frameworks to C:\Users/"your name"/AppData/Local/apktool/framework.

Once you import your frameworks you must then copy them from C:\Users/"your name"/AppData/Local/apktool/framework

to the old legacy location. But VTS allows you to name your imported frameworks so you will need to be familiar with this process so you can copy the frameworks to the old legacy location so VTS can find them. This is the problem. 100% guaranteed.

Adding new resource

Hi guys,

I just installed this cool VTS studio, configured my first project and it seems really great!

However, I'm not sure if I'm able to add new resources using it.

E.g. I need to add new .png file (I assume I'll just drop it into the folder with drawables) but how can I reference it then?

I need to somehow compile it to get hex id of this newly added resource?

Thanks in advance!
