God dam it, cant get it compiling anymore.. Someone figure this out please..
[Galaxy S III General] EXPERIMENT:
Well my experience with Apk Manger has been that the same one I've been using for Gingerbread works just fine on ICS, so no need for a new one necessarily. But I did find that sometimes Apk Manager could not decompile certain apks...where APKTOOL could. I do like to use Apk Manager, so I found success by decompiling them with APKTOOL, then transferring the files over to the projects folder of Apk Manager, then the rest you just do normal.

As for your instructions on how to use Apk Manager,

you did a good job describing the fundamentals of how to decompile, and recompile but I find the major flaw in your instructions is when you say "I had recieved errors when doing so.. ignore this for now." DON'T ignore that! That is saying you have an error :eek:

So if you get that error when it asks you yes or no, choose "no" and it will abort. Then type "21" and a red CMD screen will popup and run and error log. Its not real easy to read, but if you do it you will find your mistake in your edits. Correct these mistakes until you DO NOT get any errors, then proceed.

If you do this correctly and receive no errors then the "unsigned<APKNAME>.apk" that will be created in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder is done. Pull it out and remove the unsigned part.

The copy and paste method just leaves room for more errors, IMO. Ones that are not logged.

Good Luck!

[Galaxy S III General] fOmey:
Thanks for the input, I agree with you 100% about the error section.

My question is tho how are people decompiling camera.apk & contacts.apk to make these great mods we see.. there MUST be a way to successfully compile a sammy .apk.

Works perfectly fine with AOSP/CM9 you can decompile & recompile no problems..
[Galaxy S III General] firefds:
I just use this great tool for decompiling samsung apks

[Galaxy S III General] fOmey:
Any luck recompiling tho ?
[Galaxy S III General] Dragon7780:
I also use apkmanager i got two sets of apktool i use..

also some apk's like secsettings.apk you need to raise the heap size

for good decompile and recompile..

No problems decompile and recompile on any file cm9 or sammy roms

if you want i help you sort your prob;) PM me

Wanam has provided a working APK Manager which can be found in the OP of this thread.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
And also I created a batch script method for simple decompiling and recompiling but only for framework-res.apk.

I havent used any of the other repacks. I could modify it to use any apk if there is a need.

Its in my sig anyway and definitely works with framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S III General] firefds:
Yep.

There is a bug in apktool.jar though.. there are problems with the decompiling of some plurals.xml which you need to fix manually
[Galaxy S III General] Phone_Guru:
Could you provide a quick start guide to these manual fixes?

Framework-res.pk is the only file I can't recompile.
[Galaxy S III General] $wissdroid:
So i had a strange problem.

I do everything like this manual.

But every Time when i want to replace the framework-res.apk after it hangs in bootprocess. Its the same when i do nothing in the .apk, Just decompile and recompile.

I had this Problem on every Tool.

I want to mod the framework from CM9 on my Galaxy S2.

So what can i do? Whats the Problem?

[Galaxy S III General] D1358531:
I followed the instructions in the first post and got up to running Script.bat, but then I got the dreaded "Java not found" even though I have the latest java installed.

I read that the environmental variables need to be edited. Could someone give me an idea as to what the PATH should look like? Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Copy the path to /bin folder inside the java directory..usually c:\program files\windows\java_jdk7\bin...and then right click on computer shortcut and select properties..click on advanced and then environment variables..in the pop up box..click a new path and paste the path to the bin folder..apply it and the save it..

[Galaxy S III General] D1358531:
So, I should type "PATH" for the variable name? This will replace the PATH value that is already there, correct? Can there be any spaces in the path?
[Galaxy S III General] D1358531:
Ok, thanks...I'll try it ina bit. Will I.need to reboot?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
I don't think so..

Sent from my iPad using Forum Runner
[Galaxy S III General] D1358531:
OK, that didn't work...I think I have to include the Apk Manager ICS in the path somewhere, maybe even the Script.bat?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Put apk manager somewhere ..where the path name does not have a space in it..for eg c:\users\your name\desktop..here the your name should not have spaces..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Skyblue93:
Hi, ya'll!

I posted this question yesterday, nobody responded. :(

I'm running the .33 EU leak and I got a notification that an official update will be coming within a week.

So when they finally push the OTA can I update directly from the leak or do I have to flash it?

what do I have to do to go back official??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hihipunkt:
If nobody replies: wait and DON'T create another thread asking the same question. This just clutters the forums and makes it hard to have some overview about what's happening.

To your question: Again, wait. You are not the only one not having that official ICS update yet. When it gets pushed out to everybody, be sure that someone on here will make a guide for us 33 leak users.

If you already got that message, I'd even say that you can update the standard OTA way, but that's just a wild guess.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Skyblue93:
Thank you! :)

I looked around the forum and they said that the .33 eu is the final OTA build weird because I recieved that update notification.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
Was hoping you would say LWW, because of this thread. It contains entire ICS /system dump (including /app dir) for Live with walkman.

My advice for you is to find simmilar dump for your Mini Pro, or ask someone (using Mini Pro with ICS) to send you all FB apk files. If you fail to obtain those files, you can always try using LWW's app from mention thread, but since i dont know if/how LWW's apps differ from those of Mini Pro, i cant be held responsible for eventual consequences, you would be doing that on your own risk.

I hope i wasnt too unhelpful :)

Reposting this from the International Forum for those interested in this case.

My iLuv case just arrived. Here it is on a Pebble Blue S III. I will be exchanging the phone for a white one, but I wanted to post pics for anyone interested in this case with a blue phone.

The case feel very nice and is nice and slim. It also wraps around the corners just enough to provide decent protection. There's no lip to really speak of on the front so the case won't protect your phone if you leave it faced down. That's either a positive or a negative depending on how you like your cases.

Anyhow, here are the pics. Enjoy.

Im thinking of finally changing phones, this phone is in pretty good condition with small blemishes and a tiny chipped off piece of screen to the top left, (less than a mm corner) this will come with 2 batterys, one 3500generic ext battery, oem 1900mah battery, 4 cases(2 black 2 pink) a charger and 4 gig sd card.

Bad esn although flashed to boost mobile, if you want the esn and boost mobile ill charge $40 extra if not i will clear the esn and authentication settings in qpst. any offer is appreciated
[Epic 4G General] monstaX:
Does clearing the esn mean it can work on Sprint again?:)
[Epic 4G General] Andy_nu:
hypothetically speaking, flashing a sprint esn from a sprint phone is quite easy, but when i bought the phone it had a bad esn. so you couldnt activate it on sprint unless you get a donor phone for it

I have tried to flash CWM through RM. Says successful, but when I boot to recovery, it goes to Andy and the triangle. When I use vol up + power to go to recovery, it takes me to stock 3e.

This phone is on EL29, straight from the box, with root.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brenchen:
Hi all,

I'm totally out of ideas and search terms. Basically after I've rooted my phone and had Psycho Mantis with Siyah kernel on it, the battery was experiencing issues.

To give you an indication, it drains the whole battery in one day with minimal use.

Last week I was out somewhere for a greater portion of the week, and since there are no (decent) receptions, I turned of data. When I got back to civilization, I had my data turned back on.

Since then, the battery was being drained even more! Now my battery will struggle to live half a day.

I've looked at battery stats threads and this and that, installed different battery stats apps, but just don't know what's wrong.

I've became so desperate on this issue that I don't know where to even look further, so if anyone had experienced this problem, or knows whether there are any trustworthy sources that I can investigate this further, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Brendan
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
If you have better battery stats app you can post a dump so I can see what's using your battery. Also download cpu spy from the play store to see if your phone is deep sleeping.

If you have any widgets that sync, delete them, if you're using Facebook use friendcaster, turn off gps and location settings, you can try to underclock your device to 800mhz, use the lowest brightness settings, turn off the hardware keys and bln, you could try indervolting but it can be unstable for some devices.

Hope that helps a little :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brenchen:
Right I've got both apps you said, but CPUSpy doesn't tell me (or at least I don't know where it says) what's eating my battery. BetterBatteryStats I can't work out the names and codes it uses, so again I couldn't work out what's going on.

I'll try to work out how to get you a screendump.
