Ok, find the attached log files I found in LOGS folder. Please help me sort out this issue ASAP.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
So I found this in your history.txt:

04-14 15:15:58:805 Output to C:\TMPhone\_WorkArea1\_deodex\framework\arm\dex\ext.dex
04-14 15:15:58:805 De-optimizing /system/framework/framework.jar
^C------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL="14-04-2016@1528"]14-04-2016@1528[/EMAIL] --- SESSION STARTED

That "^C" is what is displayed when somebody presses CTRL+C to break a process. That's why TMA is telling you it can't find any files in the "_OdexFiles" folder...it never had a chance to copy the files into it.

Please try the process again without stopping the program. If you get the exact same issue, please let me know.

I'd mention something about that being a great opportunity for Google Pay, but then there's the question of having to press your phone against the NFC tag. I'm pretty sure that'd get you a slap..

I don't know what's going on with those files. I doubt Samsung would be using files in their stock rom's that have "xposed" in the filenames, and they certainly wouldn't have the Xposed Framework in the rom's either.

Knowing Samsung, anything's possible., but I am suspicious about this..

I'm not sure why you'd have trouble parsing. You're not trying to install the app, just download it.

[Android Themes] Bajanman:

[MENTION=4315551]Ticklefish[/MENTION]

So apparently talking with one of the guys, there seems to be some advantage to have control over the compression level of apktool. I don't understand how it works but I know that with MM at least that being able to set the compression level to, lets say 0, makes a huge difference when testing things. The file will be larger of course but I'm seeing problems with files that compile and decompile properly but if you turn compression off or leave at a lower level like 1, they seem to work better than using whatever the stock compression level is set to. Again, pardon me I don't know much about it just forwarding the idea on... ;)
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Oh, really? Interesting..

It is possible to edit apktool.yml to change how the resources.arsc is compressed. Maybe Samsung rom's use a certain rate of compression that apktool can't replicate?

I've been rereading the documentation for apktool and that's the only compression I can find mention of..
[Android Themes] Thebear j koss:
[MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] is correct, i believe Thyrus figured something out theming hangouts for his cmte theme and for team blackout, apparently something has changed in compression of resources, i too am not sure about all that stuff but i know it couldn't be themed and he built without compression and it worked.

[Android Themes] tdunham:
Yes, apparently is makes a big difference, enough where the end result is unusable if not compressed properly.

Here is an comparisons of framework-res.apk apktool yml files.

Different versions of apktool but you get the idea of how the formatting is setup.

From TMA:

version: 2.0.0
apkFileName: framework-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
sdkInfo:
minSdkVersion: '23'
targetSdkVersion: '23'
packageInfo:
forced-package-id: '1'
versionInfo:
versionCode: '23'
versionName: 6.0.1
compressionType: false
sharedLibrary: false

VTS (Virual Ten Studio)

I think compression level was 0/no compression for anything set from within vts which I'm not familiar with, like said someone is helping me through this.

!!brut.androlib.meta.MetaInfo
apkFileName: framework-res.apk
compressionType: false
doNotCompress:
- arsc
- xml
- RSA
- SF
- MF
- xsd
- raw
- dic
- html
- bmp
- spr
- bin
- frag
- vert
- json
isFrameworkApk: true
packageInfo:
forcedPackageId: '1'
renameManifestPackage: null
sdkInfo:
minSdkVersion: '23'
targetSdkVersion: '23'
sharedLibrary: false
unknownFiles: {}
usesFramework: null
version: 2.1.0
versionInfo:
versionCode: '23'
versionName: 6.0.1

As you can see, there are extra commandline items available to apktool that maybe we aren't seeing or knew were available to us.

The apk with limited recompile compression works for everything, the one without has problems.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
That tool makes me laugh. Not because it's no good, I'm sure it is, it's just the sheer number of image formats it has to cope with. Good old Samsung..:rolleyes:

Anyway, this does all sound like it could be to do with the compression of resources.arsc.

If somebody reading this is having difficulty with a Samsung Marshmallow APK, could you try something for me please? Try editing apktool.yml and changing the "compressionType" value to "false". Let us know what happens when you try recompiling!
[Android Themes] tdunham:
If you look at both examples, they are already set to false.

I think the key is to manually add that section to the yml with the options to skip compression on the files that match in the list. It can be added to the bottom, if you remember, I found the problem with this exact doNotCompress parameter in one of the older versions of apktool that was running out of of cache space because the list was so long the apk wouldn't recompile because it listed every single image resource.

doNotCompress:
- arsc
- xml
- RSA
- SF
- MF
- xsd
- raw
- dic
- html
- bmp
- spr
- bin
- frag
- vert
- json
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Oh, I remember that well..

This does seem to suggest that Samsung are using some sort of strange compression that apktool can't replicate. It's annoying to be making bigger APK files but if the process works, it'll be worth it.
[Android Themes] tdunham:
Ok, here is perfect example. :)

Here I show that turning off all compression lets MM SecSettings2 recompile properly without errors. First try is showing errors, the apk will run but it has lots of issues. The second run is with zero compression. I have to find out commandline structure for level 1 compression still it seems to work but is much better on filesize.
[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
As far as I can tell, there isn't an option in the command for it. It's something that will have to be edited in apktool.yml directly, I think.

Can you reset your tool please, and try again? There's too much in your history.txt for me to narrow down what happened.

Many thanks!

I'll update v13.2 with them, although v13.3 should be released soon. Updating the code to deodex Marshmallow files was surprisingly easy and it's nearly all done. I just have to work out what's going on with the ".sqsh" files Sony are now using. There seems to be identical odex files in three separate places on my ROM and I'm a bit puzzled by it.

It's not quite Samsung-levels of annoying but it's still a challenge!

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
This is saying that you have a lot of images declared in public.xml that aren't defined.

In other words, there are images missing from your APK. It's possible that somebody deleted them from the compiled file, which can cause this. If you didn't remove these image files, try deleting the lines from public.xml and see if it recompiles.

Apktool isn't compatible with Huawei. The developer have constructed their APK files in a non-standard way and aren't telling anyone how they did it.

Until they start being open-source, there's nothing much that can be done.

Sorry.

If you've found sources for Huawei, you need to tell the developer of apktool. There's nothing I can do with it, personally.

Modding Android is difficult if you're new to it. There's a lot to learn and every version of Android (and every rom) is different.

I'm working on the Marshmallow deodexing right now. The code is mostly done, I'm just testing a certain aspect. Some MM roms come with SQSH files which have given me a bit of a headache. I think I've worked out a solution,it just needs testing.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Yes, indeed!

Tickle My Android is officially 4 years old today!

Which is, frankly, unbelievable. To think that I have a thread that's that old and that's still active is astonishing. To think that a little program that I wrote to make things easier for people has been downloaded by thousands of people across the world, and is still being downloaded and used now...that's just mind-blowing.

When I started this thread, I thought people might find my tool handy. I never expected it to be so successful!

For that, I have to thank you guys. Thank you for sticking with me as I fumble my way through and try to keep this tool up-to-date. I do everything I can to keep TMA the best theming7 tool around, and I hope you think that it certainly could be. :o

When I started this thread four years ago, I knew nothing about how Android works or how to make good batch files...but I had a lot of free time.

Now I understand Android better and my batch files are much more advanced..but I have much less free time.

I was going to launch v13.3 today by way of a birthday celebration. But the code still isn't quite finished yet. Hopefully it'll be done by Friday. Sorry for the delay, guys.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Here's to another four years!

NEW VERSION NEARLY OUT!!

​

It's taken me a while, but I'm finally ready to release Version 13.3. of everyone's favourite theming tool...Tickle My Android!

Internet Explorer won't let me edit the OP, unless I completely rewrite the whole thing, which I'm not that keen to do. Since the PC I normally use is stuck with IE, it's going to be a few hours before I'll be releasing the tool....but the clock is definitely ticking. Within the next few hours, it should be ready so keep your eyes open!

V13.3. is all about Marshmallow deodexing. I've changed a few things so, to make things a bit easier, I've rewritten the third post in this thread with some new instructions. If you've got a spare moment, please check it out and let me know if it makes sense. Deodexing can be a bit daunting to the inexperienced and I'm trying to make the process as user-friendly as possible.

See you all soon!

I'd send ya a PM but in case anyone else can profit from this...

I have been fighting with my OP for a while now.

It got to the point I couldn't save, didn't matter what pc or browser I used.

So yesterday I went in to edit, copied and pasted the ENTIRE op into a word docx for safekeeping and wacked the entire thing and saved it with just the title.

I methodically went through and started adding sections back in until it got stuck again.

To make a long story short, its all the mentions.

Remove all the mentions at the bottom of your OP and see if that does it for you. I then just put all the usernames back after saving but stripped out the mentions. Something about too many isn't playing nice with the xda editor (I tried classic all the way thru 2015 versions too btw, it was driving me nuts :eek:)

NEW APKTOOL AVAILABLE!​

Ain't life ironic? A few hours ago, I released v13.3...and a short while later the next version of Apktool came out! Sigh..

To get a hold of apktool_2.1.1.jar, head here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66745194&postcount=4163

Add it to your "USER_FILES/APKTOOL/" folder and TMA will let you choose it. I'll be adding it to v13.3. tomorrow.

While you're downloading it, don't forget to press the thanks button on [MENTION=3924617]iBotPeaches[/MENTION]'s post. He did all the hard work and deserves the credit.

The mentions are a bit messed up. I've fixed a few in the op by just deleting them and re-entering the BB code. I still have some to go, but I'll get those soon.

My main problem is that IE and this forum just don't get on too well. For the past fortnight, I haven't been able to get onto the forum at all without it crashing the browser. Apparently, it's an issue with IE itself. And, unless things change at work, I'm stuck with it.

Still..it'll take more than an obstinate browser to stop me!

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Welcome to the sheer, undiluted joy that is decompiling Touchwiz. Samsung are so determined to separate themselves from Android that they keep doing stuff like this.

[Android Themes] Ticklefish:
Try installing framework-res.apk before you decompile the file.
[Android Themes] tdunham:
You are misinformed.

If all android OS were truly open source we would be programming in java with the proper tools, not relying on someone to develop a tool to hack into the code so we can 'develop' in it (apktool).

Again, you are misinformed about the methods they use to store the images...

They do it that way because it is far more efficient and saves a ton of room on devices, especially older ones that are taking larger and larger updates.

Another 'hack' tool to convert those images since we do NOT have source:
