Maybe try uninstalling the tool and reinstall (as administrator ) now that you have 4.5 .net installed... could be a glitch where it was run without 4.5 :) ... can't hurt to try

In the framework folder, I replaced the 1.apk with my framework apk from my rom. And then it seemed to give me clean logs.

The only trouble I'm having is when I pushed my systemUI.apk that I modded back, I seemed to lose my status bar. probably an issue on my end as all I was editting was to change my Status bar to transparent. Thanks for the cool tool.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marescallus:
Was that a Jelly Bean 4.2 framework apk?

:Snarf Snarf:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] noellenchris:
No it's Deox stock TMOUS 4.1.1

Been too busy to try again lately. Hope to find some time this weekend....

Anyone got any ideas on my issue? I've read the instructions over and over again, tried running as admin, have the correct paths set for Java and still cannot get the apks recompiled.

Really have no idea what I'm doing wrong??? :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
May be a silly question, bit did you install the update (listed in the OP) after installing the tool..... just trying to cover all the bases :)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Yep update installed too :(

Decompile, then without changing anything, Recompile. It's saying that apktool.yml doesn't exist. That file is independent of any apk you decompile and it's impossible to recompile without it. Make sure you aren't deleting it or renaming it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
Check in the directory that contains your decompiled apk..... the apktool.yml should be there..... if not, then there is a glitch either with the tool, or maybe your antivirus isn't playing nice with the file..... I don't use antivirus so I can't test that theory...

sent from my tapatalked DROID RAZR....from somewhere between lost and found....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Good call with the antivirus. Never thought of it. I use Norton and don't have issues.I know some free ones don't play nice with a lot of this stuff
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Thanks for all the replies guys! Seems to be working ok now!

For some reason it's just certain apks where it doesn't generate that file. I was trying to modify a theme apk but having no luck with it at all.

The rest of the apk's seem to be working ok though.

Sorry about that, I should have tested it on a few files first. :laugh:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Pm me with the theme apk? I like to solve things :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
So yeah I can't reply to you cause you chose not to receive private messages.. so just attach it here and I'll grab it then you can remove it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Sorry about that :D

It says it's 4 bytes... you sure the apk isn't corrupt?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
That's not right...it was 4mb when I sent it haha! I've been having a few problems uploading on this site for some reason.

Will try again!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Yeah it's not working :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
I'm wondering if it's because the theme came in a whole zip package with Aroma installer. Would that make any difference?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
Try uploading it to a cloud (dropbox, mediafire etc) then post the link :)

sent from my tapatalked DROID RAZR....from somewhere between lost and found....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
It shouldn't. Link me to the original zip thread where you got it? It's a problem with xda not uploading properly :\
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
See if that helps :o)

I've uploaded the whole zip file (about 30mb) with installer etc. It's the AOSPICS.apk in extras->app folder.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
32 megs seem right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
Went from small to big lol..... but you said it included the installer as well so 32 meg might be right....:)

sent from my tapatalked DROID RAZR....from somewhere between lost and found....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Lol I was saying about the whole installer zip being 32 megs. I downloaded it. I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
I have decompiled all the apps in this..... none of which are coming up with the apktool.yml file..... so I'm thinking that an attempt to recompile will probably produce the same error as burdus77

sent from my tapatalked DROID RAZR....from somewhere between lost and found....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Couldn't you get any to work then?

I managed to get others working just not the AOSPICS.apk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
Yeah after re- doing them the only one not working is still AOSPICS .for now...but it was my fault I think.... I had some other things going on on my PC so i think it kinda messed with the tool a little lol

sent from my tapatalked DROID RAZR....from somewhere between lost and found....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Yep, can't work out what's causing that apk to not generate that file. Although I'm still learning about De and recompiling apks.

Wonder if elesbb can shed any light on that one?

Sent from my calculator!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
I think that one is beyond my knowledge as well.... maybe try cursing it in three different languages lol

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
So i decompiled the aospics.apk and its not generating the apktool.yml file. I tried making my own but i couldnt get things to match properly im sure with more tinkering it would work. But its def a problem with apktool. I googled it and tried a couple suggestions with none working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Well at least I know it wasn't something I was doing wrong then! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blacknight1114:
elesbb....im loving this tool and the smali tool you made. makes my life so much easier bro, thank you.:good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
That it does my friend, that it does! I just got done using it to make a crap load of mods on a bunch of apps I got from the market that needed a personal touch! What would have taken hours took minutes! I do need to update it and fix a few things, gonna make it use .NET Framework 3.5 as well for those with .Net issues. Might do that tomorrow as that's very easy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Oh, also, does anyone have any requests for added features? Like maybe installing the signed apk right away? I I'm going to add a "delete current project" button, as well as an option to delete the unsigned apk after it signs it. But does anyone have any requests?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Is there any way you could add the option of where to store the files, for output and apks in progress? Would be handy. :)

Sent from my calculator!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
Yeah if you could tie it in with ADB to install it right away that would be great.... save a couple steps....

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Hmmm you know when I first created it, I was thinking of prompting user for locations, but when I was testing it, I got fed up with having to select a directory every, single, time. And the directory select window isn't very friendly. But the thing that I got really frustrated with was the fact I had decompiled files all over the place on my computer, desktop was a mess, "my documents" folder was a mess. Also had a crap load of compiled apk files everywhere. Things began to get really messy.. with having default folders for in progress and compiled apk files, it's impossible to lose them. Just launch the program, then select either compiled apk directory or select decompiled directory. Then you can create a shortcut to the directory by simply going up one level and making the shortcut where ever you wish. I have one for decompiled files in my favorites section on the left of my explorer window.

But I'll think about it....

This I will add. I'll include it as a check box in the "options" category. Then if checked, after you click the sign button, it will sign the apk, then adb install the apk.

Any other requests?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brds7t7:
Going to be following this thread a lot now as this is a fantastic tool Elesbb. It's little things like this that make rooting and modding so much easier!

3/12/12 update

3/12/12 UPDATE:

Here is my compiled GUI APK Tool for users with .NET Framework 3.5 or newer.

Installation is simple:

1. Download attachment (Go figure right xD )

2. Extract the .EXE file from the zip, place it anywhere on your computer

3. Run the extracted .EXE file

4. Follow on screen instructions

5. Open APK GUI Tool from start menu or desktop.

If already installed my original one from my FIRST POST, completely remove that first by going to Start all programs find the folder for the APK GUI Tool and select uninstall. Then install the 3.5 one.

This will also work if you have 4.0 Framework

ONLY INSTALL 3.5 VERSION IF YOU DO NOT HAVE 4.5 FRAMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
So this update only includes the 3.5 .net right? Or does it include some of the other mentioned possible changes?

I tried to decompile SecMms.apk (Samsung S3 JB 4.1.2). The new compiled apk is smaller than the original (7,25MB vs 8,56MB) and don't works. There are not any error in the log.

Solution?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
it's just compression, if there weren't any errors, then everything is fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:
So far... it 3.5 seems to be working as expected..... I have de/re-compiled, signed, and installed a couple apps that I use every day with no issues... (after I remembered to update Java and put it back in PATH) .. I forgot to do it when I re-installed my OS :)

So i have the ability to install signed apk after installation, also have feature to delete unsigned file after being signed, have ability to delete selected InProgress folders...

I applied this to both 4.5 and 3.5 versions.

Before i go and upload them, are there any other features anyone wishes to have??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] johnthehillbilly:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] noellenchris:
If i'm editing the SystemUI.apk from a stock rooted TW JB Rom, what do I use to sign the apk? Should I use a file from my rom to replace the 1.apk file included? Or will this work fine using the 1.apk. I assume the 10.apk is for CM10? Thanks for all your work, this is really easy to use too!

Noellenchris

After reading another thread, am I supposed to sign the SystemUI.apk, because if I don't sign it, it's missing the Meta stuff when I recompile it. Sorry for the noob questions...:P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
If you are on a STOCK rooted TW ROM, (Im guessing a samsung phone?) Then you are NOT deodexed. And WILL NOT be able to change anything.. you MUST deodex your ROM first. I am not sure if just deodexing the SystemUI.apk will work. I think it would work but requires a few more steps then you would have to odex the SystemeUI.apk afterwards.

EDIT: And to sign the APK just check the option in my program to sign the apk. then press the sign button
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] noellenchris:
Thanks, yes it's a gsIII and its custom deox . I was changing a few lines in some of the XML files and the signature looks different after recompile.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Signature? as in after signing the apk? Thats no big deal, as long as they are signed you are good to go. :) btw i love my GS3 as well :)

I saw early in the thread that someone was going to see if this works on windows 8 but never saw the results. What's the verdict?

I ordered a windows 8 laptop and if it doesn't play nicely with the dev programs I'm returning it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
Give me till tomorrow. I have windows 8 in a virtual machine on my laptop. I'll have to install Java and set it all up but I'll report back my results.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
So everything is working perfectly from a clean install of windows 8.

All i had to do was install Java JDK for x64 and then i installed the .NET 4.5 version of my app and decompiled my CM10.1 framework-res.apk and recompiled and received NO errors. So you should be good to go..

BTW: You made me wanna install windows 8 now.. thanks :P lol and here i thought i wouldnt like it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fryingpan0613:
Awesome man Thank you! I ordered it online because my current laptop is freaking vista lol. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to return it due to compatibility issues.

It should be here Tuesday, and I will for sure get your app on it!

Thanks again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] elesbb:
No problem man. I love helping out when i can. Even if its small!

But i never thought i would like windows 8. My dad's laptop has it and i never really liked it. but now that i used it for myself, its pretty nice. I just feel Microsoft should have had two UIs. One for a laptop/computer and one for a touch interface. I feel the current UI is WAYYY too oriented around touch. Gets a bit troubling when trying to use a mouse. Plus when you launch some things, it uses the entire screen, and its like no.. i want multiple windows in my screen.. Lol. Anyways i hope you like it!

Btw you could easily upgrade to windows 7 :) prolly my overall favorite OS for a computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fryingpan0613:
My desktop has 7, and I stopped using my laptop until I started helping out with another rom. Now I'm making my own, and I didn't want to put money into that laptop because it's crap.

I did like playing with the touch screen ones at best buy, but the biggest problem with most of them imo is they need to be able to fold up in half so that it's like a Tablet. Otherwise the touchscreen isn't as useful.
