Check your quarantine in antivirus if possible to see if anything is listed. Sometimes, you can restore a quarantined file and white list or allow it at the same time. Sometimes, antivirus will not quarantine a file until you actually try to run it.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So it's the deodex that's giving trouble?

Try copying your system/framework, system/app and system/priv-app folders directly to the "_deodex" folder instead of pulling the files. I think the pulling option may still have some old code in it which is causing troubles.

I'm having problems with my modded apks. Im doing a rom for my S7 Edge and modded SystemUI, framework-res, SecSettings and services.jar. Framework-res and services.jar works ok on fresh install ( advanced reboot) without fc's but on SecSettings, when I want to use secure unlock( for example fingerprint) y gets fc. I had read here on XDA that on 6.0.1 we cant sign SystemUI to prevent this kind of problems, and I use compile with original signature and didnt touch the manifest, then.....what I am doing wrong???

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
I think apktool is having trouble with Marshmallow Secsettings. Right now, I don't know of any fix. You could try a Superuser mod to get rid of the need to have the right signature, I suppose. I don't know if that will fix it but you could always try.

And thanks for your thanks! :good:
[Android Themes] gvmiguez:
Thanks Ticklefish, it can be apktool related but i think its only mine problem because other great devs dont have this issues on Touchwiz SecSettings like Tdunham for example.... i will try to use original signature on settings too. Im using apktool 2.1.1 but the trick can be use another....but wich one??? Sorry for the offtopic, but its making me crazy [emoji28] [emoji28] [emoji28]
[Android Themes] tdunham:
Problem lies still with apktool not working well yet with twframework-res.apk which is necessary for de/recompiling SecSettings on MM.

Try the SecSettings fixes in post #10 of my guide thread for SecSettings. Specifically the one that is for spinner in styles.xml. If that does not fully resolve, take only new or changed files from SecSettings, ie resources.arsc, classes.dex, any changed xml and image resources and copy them back into original stock SecSettings.
[Android Themes] gvmiguez:
Thanks for the info master, i will try on this way and let you know results.
[Android Themes] slickrick54:
Was wondering if you had a guide on how to enable or disable unknown sources on MM
[Android Themes] tdunham:
I haven't tried or have seen the need since there are already two ways to do that. When installing an unknown apk, I believe there is a checkbox for always or just this one time and in Settings/Lock screen and security, there is a toggle there as well natively.
[Android Themes] nithin chandra:

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Presumably, if it's a relatively simple mod, you could use an overlay file and skip the recompiling altogether? Wouldn't help for smali mods, but should work for extra images, changed layout XML, etc.

So I'm back from my holiday, which is good. But I have a lot of craziness happening at work, which is bad.

But there's been a new version of apktool released, which is even better!

Download yourself a copy from the official apktool thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68082595&postcount=4324

Download it to your "user_files\apktool" folder and TMA will let you select it.

While you're on that post, don't forget to press the Thanks button to thank [MENTION=3924617]iBotPeaches[/MENTION] for all his hard work!

Right, let's get to replying to some things..

And did you give your PC permission to access your phone by adb? You have to do this on the phone itself.

Your phone can't be seen by adb. This isn't the fault of this program, there's a permission or connection issue you'll need to resolve.

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow. Deodexing is becoming increasingly more complex and it's harder to write a batch file that can do it all. I'm actually considering removing the option entirely. But not yet!

There's no virus or malware in v13.4. It's just your antivirus program getting confused by adb. It's all good. :)

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
You can download apktool 2.2.0 and add it to the "user_files/APKTOOL" folder. Then TMA will let you select it for all your decompiling and recompiling needs.

Or you can always just download v14, which will come with apktool 2.2.0 already...;)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
NEW VERSION AVAILABLE!!

​

Well, it took me a bit longer than I expected but v14 has finally been released.​

There have been a lot of changes but, as normal, you won't notice a lot of them. I've changed a lot of code to make the tool run more effectively and more efficiently. I've also fixed a lot of bugs.

What you will notice is the extra screen you'll see when you recompile a file. Now you can tell TMA to add the recompiled file to your ZIP workspace automatically...and you can tell it to create a flashable ZIP automatically as well. This may not sound like much but it saves a lot of time!

I've also added the option to change vector icons and I'll be releasing a new icon pack soon with the best vector icons I can find/make. (Disclaimer: I'm not a very good artist!)

Deodexing is now tighter and gives me a lot more information if there's an issue. Sadly, not every rom will deodex perfectly but the history.txt file will now give me a better idea of what went wrong if there's a problem. Which means I have more of a chance to fix it.

There's a debug mode which should come in handy if people are having trouble starting the tool. I'll talk about that more later if it's needed.

TMA will now ignore any folders in the "_working" folder if you put "IGNORE" at the start of the filename. Which can be very handy if you're downloading smali mods or similar.

We've got some new languages to choose from, which is always cool.

Oh, and there may even be an Easter egg buried somewhere deep inside the program. It's not very exciting but I'm just curious to see if anybody can find it..:)

Those are the main changes. You might notice a few slight tweaks as you use the tool which I haven't mentioned. I've also rewritten the OP a little to make it easier to follow. Head there now, download yourself a copy and let me know what you think!

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Yes, there are some great resources out there. The problem I'm facing is that Android doesn't use normal vectors, it only uses a small subset of the vector commands so most won't work. I'll come up with something though. :)

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Thanks! I've taken a few icons from FlatIcon that might be worth looking at. :highfive:

It's the vectors that are the problem though. Vectors are basically images that are generated by lines of code. Android vectors ignore all but one of the commands normally used to make vectors...and has the code in a slightly different format. Converting a vector image into an Android vector is a lot of work and, for most images, it's easier just to replace the vector XML file with a PNG file instead.

And Android doesn't appear to actually use vectors for the battery icon, it's all smali, so that's another factor.

But I'm sure I can come up with a few nice ideas.

Hopefully.

Thanks for your files. I've tried installing them in v14 (both my existing setup and using the ZIP in the OP) and they both install perfectly without any trouble at all. I suspect the issue isn't TMA, it's something else.

Can you share your history.txt please?

[Android Themes] edzamber:
Hi,

My Original S6 Edge G925F SecSettings is about 40MB.

If i decompil/recompil with TMA using Apktool v2.2.0, no issue, its recompiled correctly with good size.

If your SecSettings is about 15MB, that because it should be already modded by drag and drop ressources.arsc and classes.dex with 7zip. So 7zip compression make it smaller.

If you decompil it again, then recompil with Apktool, it return to its original size, that's normal, no more compression as 7zip can do.

Does your SecSettings comes from any Custom Rom or Stock Samsung Rom that you have deodex ?
[Android Themes] koko115:
Custom deodex SuperMan Rom.
[Android Themes] edzamber:
So ask to Dev if he use 7-zip drag and drop method.

Answer should be Yes [emoji6]
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That makes sense. I know some modders like to drag and drop modded files back into the original file with 7zip, to keep the signature the same.

Thats what TMA does when you recompile a file with apktool 1.5.2. and keep the original signature. Apktool 2.0.0 took away the need for that so TMA just creates a new file.

I can make TMA extract the resources.arsc file with 7zip and insert it back into the APK. That should make it compressed again.

It'll mean recompiling will take a few more seconds but it shouldn't cause too much trouble.

I need to do some work to the code anyway. I've discovered yet another odexed rom setup that I need to allow for.

What do you guys think?

On Samsung roms we need to keep the original signature, at least on SytemUI and SecSettings, because we lost secure unlocks( pin, pattern,fingerprint...) with a modded meta-inf. And we dont need to compress resources.arsc, then I think you dont need to do this modification because stock unmodded SecSettings is more or less 40MG.

Any Suggestions?

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

I see this topic is overflowing to here too.

My two cents, I don't see the point in doing anything differently.

Who cares if resources aren't compressed, are compressed, excluded from compression... if it works? :p

First of all, nothing we do with this tool is going to correct the issues that the SecSettings apk (among others) has with the current apktool since it does not de/recompile it properly on Samsung builds to begin with. The workarounds for this have been discussed to death already and I don't think that adding additional features to this tool for such a minor issue as file compression is really warranted until we get things working properly with apktool.

TF - unless you see the compression is causing widespread panic because its breaking something, I would leave it alone man. :)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
There's always something new that messes everything up. Why do you think I keep bringing new versions of this tool out? Most of the time it's because an OEM is doing something weird I have to allow for...lol

At the end of the day TMA is made for you guys. If people feel there's a need for this option, I'll include it. It'll only take a few minutes of coding and really won't be a problem.

My concern is that it could make things unnecessarily complicated. This tool is supposed to be quick and easy to use for everybody whether they're pros or noobs. I'm worried that asking users if they want to compress their resources.arsc, especially since they don't need to, could just cause confusion.

But, if enough people want the option, I'll add it in. Tickle My Android users are the most wonderful people in the world and I want to keep them happy. ;)
