Ok, so i just decompiled and recompiled successfully (with no edits)

What i did was:

check "install proprietary frameworks"

then select file "mediated-res.apk"

click "install framework"

then select file "lewa-res.apk"

click "install framework"

then select file "framework-res.apk"

click "install framework"

it works then.

Hello.

I have this problem.

I can not compile because of problem when recompile also modified resources ... if I compile without resources is fine.

This has nothing to do with my app though...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chalo99:
I'm downloading it to modify the notification tray, to make it transparent. Can I modify the androidpolicy.jar? Or I have to search for another decompiler/compiler?

A suggestion: Please can you upload to mega.co.uz or to jenkinks or another cloud storage? I got an error in the download and I can't download anymore for this day from that site. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
You can decompile jar files, after clicking "select file to work on:" to the right, it will say "Apk" click it and switch to "jar"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chalo99:
Thanks, I have alread done it, i tried to use it to make my status bar transparent. But i get bootloops, so no more tries wit status bar, now i'm editing an apk that as wrong sounds, when you press a button it makes a sound, i'm trying to chage that sounds. I decompiled the apk, changed the sounds and compiled and signed, but the phone doesn't install the apk, says error. Any tips?

How about the suggestion?

I just tried to download version 1.3.4.5. Not only did I get a site malware warning from McAfee SiteAdvisor, but the download itself was detected as malicious by Avast! 8, so I deleted it. :eek:

If the .exe is really clean, perhaps you could make a fresh copy available from another file-hosting site? Or from an online Dropbox folder?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Yes its really clean, you really think XDA would let it up if how many people already used it without issues? You do also realize McAfee and Avast are like the worst software to use to protect your computer?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pcgardner:
I'm sorry you were annoyed by my post. I thought the program might have become infected without your knowledge, which is why I suggested you might provide an alternative site to download it from.

As for security software, I am aware that this is a tricky and ever-changing area. I find McAfee SiteAdvisor useful to warn me about potentially dodgy sites; it's better than WoT, which alas has been devalued by too many baseless negative ratings. I don't use any other McAfee software. I have used Avast until recently; I've changed to BitDefender because I am aware that Avast is no longer as good as it was. It was good, though, according to many reviews, so I don't know why you think it's "the worst software" to protect my computer. I can easily think of far worse programs to use!

If you have any suggestions for better programs (in their categories) than McAfee SiteAdvisor and Bitdefender I'd be delighted to hear them.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] boojay:
Hey guys, firstly let me say that this is a great tool. Even someone with limited knowledge as myself has been able to fiddle around with it and experience limited success. That said, I've been trying to change the package name for the YouTube apk unsuccessfully all night. I've been able to do it with other apks, but for some reason after I've modified the AndroidManifest xml file for YouTube, I can't recompile it into an apk.

What I do after decompiling YouTube is selecting AndroidManifest.xml to edit and changing package="com.google.android.youtube" into something else. I've tried many different combinations and nothing seems to work. I don't know why it's so easy to make that change for other apps and have them recompile (then install) properly, but not YouTube. Am I missing something?

The reason why I'm doing this is to have two instances (but different versions) of the same app running on my phone. Thus far I've been able to do it with other apps, but not YouTube. Broken record, but many of us know that the latest version is not necessarily the greatest. There are reasons to keep an older version of an app around and that's all I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks and any advice/help would be much appreciated, although it's not the end of the world if I don't hear from anyone.

Happy New Year!

help with newer apps

I know this thread is kind of dead but i hope elesbb replies...

i was merrily modifying apks to suit my requirements/whims/pleasure until now with this fascinating tool.

now i seem to have a problem though.

the newer apks (i think with newer SDK version) can not be decompiled.

it says error decompiling asrc or something like that....

Need to update the apktool.jar file inside installation directory. I may, if I ever get time, do an awesome update to this. I use this to make my modded Facebook apk and I need to configure the GUI to handle assets inside the apk. So if I ever get time I'll be updating this.

Wellp, found out I can't use ads in C# so I will just be using adfly to generate a few bucks for each download. You can always donate though :) I will posting the updated version soon.

Nice to hear you plan to update the app:)

but i think adfly is banned here in India. lets see...

Go to adf . ly and see if it works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sachin273:
the website seems to open. however i remember download links on it not working. i am not too sure about it though.. u do your thing i shall let you know of the developments:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Well, apparently adfly isn't allowed on xda... I really need to make some money off this.. even if its a few bucks. I figured ads would be the best. Especially something like adfly. But I may look into creating my own website and then having all my links on there.

I see that Skype has ads on it, I may look into how they incorporate ads and try to use the same method/approach. The only time you see ads would be when using the application. Just a banner ad at the bottom or something, nothing intrusive. I don't know yet. It does work though, and I quite like it (the code looks pretty unlike in my older version xD)

I am pretty sure i could. Were there any issues in upgrading to the 4.5 Framework?

Try using the "cm10" frameworks option.. I have been gettings some issues as well with stupid SystemUIs. I think i may need to add an option to install frameworks. Even still i would get errors. I also believe aapt.exe and apktool.jar are in need of an upgrad (not on my app but the tool itself) i have been watching them closely and havent seen anything obvious. This is whats getting under my skin -.-

I will def look into it. been a bit busy with making an android app. (new playground for me :) )

Can you post the full log? From the snippet though it looks as if there are multiple ids being assigned. But i'll know more with the full log. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the support and interest in this! I am glad to see i am not the only one getting use to this! ( i was getting annoyed with the numerous command lines xD ) I will try my hardest to keep up with updates of aapt.exe and apktool.jar and will probably be adding an option to install frameworks from your rom. Should help reduce some errors (hopefully) i never had to install frameworks though.

Oh and make sure you are deoxdexed (not sure i mentioned that in the op) but this only works for deodexed ROMs.

But once again THANKS EVERYONE for the support and interest! I have learned/gotten so much from XDA and its amazing community! I was trying my hardest to figure out a way i could contribute and give back to everyone!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] badboyilprimo:
Well that is solved now and worked out very well , Great Toool mate :) keep it up

For the Record the fix

first of all : check if you have the JRE installed if its not install first

go to http://www.java.com to install

-----------------------------

If its installed and u still got the same error

check your current installed Path

(32bit) (>>> ;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin <<<)

(64bit) (>>> ;C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\jre6\bin <<<)

1:now go to Start -> Control Panel -> System, then click on the 'Advanced System Settings' link on the left, then the 'Environment Variables' button.

2: on the variables list down below there is a > Path >(edit)> Put the above path depends on your system and hit apply

YAY u don here go home :)

Thanks me if it worked.

ANDROID 4.2 USERS PLEASE READ THIS

So i have seen people claim they are not able to decompile certain files. Well i recently just tried to decompile the Nexus 4 framework-res.apk and i too am getting errors even when using the terminal and the very latest apktool.jar. so i know there is nothing wrong with the GUI. I have searched and doesnt seem anyone else tried decompiling the 4.2 apks yet. So i submitted an issue to the issues tracker on the apktool website and will keep you guys updated with new information! Hopefully they will update their tool soon!

Thanks all for your continued support and interest!
