Recompile Not Successful!

Press any key to continue . . .

Firstly, I'm a bit concerned that your os doesn't know the commands: 'chcp' or 'mode'. These are standard DOS commands that TMA uses. If your PC doesn't know them, it shouldn't stop the tool from working, but it may be something worth investigating.

Your recompiling log mentions issues with three lines in public.xml:

You haven't given me all your logs, nor filled in the form from the op, so I'm going to have to guess at how this happened. It looks like you added lines to public.xml yourself.

Simply put..don't. I've spotted a lot of tutorials on xda that tell you to and I always feel like replying with a loud "NO!! DON'T DO IT!!".

public.xml should never be edited manually, unless you're removing things from your apk. You should always let the compiler take care of that for you.

Not only can you end up with the above errors, but changing public.xml yourself can potentially stop the whole apk from working.

If you didn't edit public.xml, then it's possible that there's a problem with the original apk. In which case, it may be worth deleting those lines (31, 696 and 697) from public.xml then recompiling in the hopes that that'll sort it out.

And, seriously, that signature made me giggle far more than could possibly be healthy..
