your knowledge is greatly appreciated

apk manager

is that different

than

apk tools and

Androild Multitool

Being both the programs I used give the same errors

but when gunnermike did it with apk manager

he didn't get that error

Sorry for the dumb question

But being you guys "Android Legends"are actually answering me :D

I'm sucking all this in to learn more..

to each his own but what would be the tool of choice ?

Should I test Apk manager ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I still use the original method because I have it memorized I guess so I was going off of what I thought they were called, they all sound the same, apk multi-manage-loader-tools lol. The reason you didn't both get the message is kind of random and you probably wont run into this situation again, but ill explain anyways. So you didn't get the error because you added his edits in then compiled the apk (apktool rebuilt the resources and classes for you then so no errors!) now the reason you got errors when decompiling is because you're using a different version of the 9patch than what gunner is using or a different version of apktool. In general, its not considered an error during compilation as long as the apk still compiles. If the apk fails to decompile/compile then you have to solve the issue, but errors during decompiling are usually easy fixes. Ultimately all the tools use the same commands, and everything the problem isn't which apk multitool/multiloader/manager you use its in which versions of java, apktool, aapt, android sdk api version, baksmali/smali, and test key that you have on your pc/linux machine. You can manually update any and all of those and the tool you're using will start working again, granted you know how to make sure that stuff is in your user path.

This is a Samsung 4.3 issue not an issue with the rom. It drives me nuts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
thanks for passing that along.

while I was trying to figure out why this happened

I opened up the rom archive

I then opened up the SamsungIME.apk

and opened with winzip and looked at the files in drawable-sw359dp-xxhdp folder I was getting the errors

drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi

floating_qwerty_vietnam_01.png

one_hand_qwerty_vietnam_01.png

where in facted named

one_hand_qwerty_vietnam_01.png.png

floating_qwerty_vietnam_01.png.png

but gunnermike's apk when I decompiled it, His images where .png

during the process it couldn't find the png.png images with the png.png ?

that's why I get the error?

and didn't get it when decompiling the stock one?

I also wasn't able to compile it by adding the images before, even thos I used the stock ones I had from the stock / default decompiled apk.

I had to add then through 7zip after it was compiled but before it was signed

so from your post earlier

would deleting the resources.arsc file ? would rebuild the resources and it will be referenced in the classes and manifest?

before compiling ?

>scratching my head

I hope I didn't ramble to much to confuse
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Having a bad compile/decompile with produce errors like that. Probably either apktool or 9patch messed up. Get updated versions of both of those (i posted an updated apktool.jar a few pages back) and try again. It was most likely because of a bad compile/decompile. Yeah you have to delete resources.arsc before you recompile, and you might have to recompile twice to regenerate it. I don't know if apktool multitool-manager or whatever its called uses a script to make it happen in one go or not, but if it compiles successfully but doesn't make a new resources.arsc then decompile again and it should be there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I did add that jar to the apk tool dir but it didn't work at all then.

I added it when I was getting those warnings when decompiling framewrk-res.

I don't think there was anything wrong with the decompile or compile tho.

It's a typo on the original image file.

The file (apk) I looked at is the untouched on in the roms posted by old&slow. 4.3 bug. Lol

How / why gunnermikes images are named in the apk is beyond me.

His tossed the error. With files named correctly.

The stock decompiles and compiles with out errors.

(images incorrect)

Thanks again for your time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Yeah that is weird. Thanks both of you for your time though. Its been quite a while since I have done any of this, don't know what made me start now, just wanted a pretty keyboard I guess. Maybe [MENTION=3074508]old&slow[/MENTION] will add it as an option if he wants.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Sorry, SDM.apk is one that I deleted for sure. Since I was pulling images from a retail .tar I wasn't taking any chances of it trying to update.

Updated MK8 12-1-13

Here is a updated MK8 rom with aroma installer. Working google wallet. 3 Debloat options. Google kitkat launcher. Calender widgets and other mods.

EDIT: Moved to own thread. Located Here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Dling now thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Damn you, I just re-set up my phone! ;)

Off I go to download...

And on a more serious note, the earlier MK8 build you provided seemed to be hard my battery, have you seen anything similar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
What are the advantages of MK8 as opposed to MJ7?

Also, what are the button background png's for the dialer? I found the numbers but I cant find the actual buttons.

Edit: Fund them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
MK8 is International Base Rom MJ7 is Verizon base rom. Both are fine. MK8 you can use themes made for the I9505 international version. There is just alot more options for international version and the kernels we use in MJ7 are actually made for the International version. I will be updating MJ7 build this week sometime for those of you who want to stay pure Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Cool. I didn't plan on doing a theme, but I just started it on a whim. I should have something out this week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Cool.

Are u themeing the stock secphone seccontacts secmms?

Or the ones that have the extra options enabled?

Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Only problem I'm having with the new aroma MK8 so far. Used the moderate debloat option. Full wipe install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
what ever is in this rom, its the mk8 dialer with recording I think. same with the mms and phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
You did a full wipe/factory reset? Because thats what happens if you use the wallet fix posted for 4.3 roms all variants? Also Make sure samsung wallet is removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Running the mk8 since last night. Pretty smooth. I flashed the ink effect mod from the note 3 works with np
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Yup, selected wipe in Aroma. The only wallet I have installed is:

That look like the right version?

Thread for MK8 Moved

Hey to keep the confusion down I am started a new thread for the MK8 rom to help keep the confusion down between MJ7 and MK8 this was requested by old&slow so he can clean up the MJ7 Thread. The new thread can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2552605

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Yes thats it did you have it installed on your rom before you flashed my rom?

I would wipe Data/System/Cache In recovery first then select full wipe in Aroma and try again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
The 4.3 modded version was installed before I installed your ROM. However, since I installed using the Aroma full wipe option, doesn't that wipe system and data and caches? Is the Aroma wipe a little unreliable?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Here is what I got I hope you can help this is my second sd card one was generic other is Scandisc. Does it to pictures and apps running kt kernel sorry for late response phone didn't notify me. All help is Greatly Appreciated. This has been killing me . This is what keeps happening see attached thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I got a random fc on google wallet also the first one in 2 days so Im not sure whats going on it must be the modded google wallet apk causing the problem because I changed nothing else besides the NFC access xlm file. I will check into this like I said it worked fine for 2 days for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
If you haven't yet you may try unmounting and then remounting the sdcard in settings/more/storage. That will force a rescan. With the amount of photos you have on there I bet it will take a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Gunnermike don't know what happened to my post tried 2 different memory cards same result thanks for any help . Keeps corrupting my pictures and apps if I put them there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I have over 2000 pics on my phone. With no issues go into app manager and locate gallery clear the cache.

Same mj7 but I'm running the stock kernel from the op.

Also under setting "content to display I only have phone checked

Loads faster.

Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Like [MENTION=5037050]r_hippy[/MENTION] said, clear gallery cache also. I wasn't thinking about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok will try that will report back but if it was that wouldn't it not do the apps as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Good point.:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Not sure.

I did have a issue before but it was opposite. I deleted pictures with root explore and they were still showing but if you clicked then you would have no image.

Do you have a image? But no thumbnail? Are your images viewable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sounds like same problem sometimes I do but the thumbnail will show corrupted others no image . My apps gray out if you put them on sd card and it will say they are not installed

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Sounds the same with grayed out apps? Pictures will sometimes be there and and the thumbnail will be corrupt others not . Should I try stock kernel? I just left what was in the op. I didn't flash kt kernel came with 4.3 goods
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You think it's due to kernel? should I flash stock kernel and drop kt?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I wouldn't think so but you could try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Your folder that your pictures are stored in might be corupt. Copy your pics to a new folder delete the original folder and rename the new folder to old name. See if that helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AftermathLK:
great rom

Awesome ROM! I waited a while to flash it because I was lazy but I shouldn't have because I missed out. My one question is I think I'm missing the pop-up browser. That was one of my favorite features, is there a flashable that could bring this back? I am sorry also if I forgot to check something while installing the rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AftermathLK:
thanks I'll download that until I find a flashable, assuming I don't like this more than stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok will try that today . Why would apps gray out if that was the case?

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

Really just want my pictures and apps to stay and not run out of space. Seems to be a problem with no way to fix. Or at least nothing has worked yet. Different roms, different sd cards even though both are 64gb brand new. Frustrating. Everything else works fine. Maybe revert to stock and send back to big red for a replacement. .. probably lose root but need a working phone. Any other ideas? Gladly try anything at this point
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Is it formatted exfat or fat32?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ext fat due to when you go to fat32 takes half the memory card away. Tried making new picture folder and copying them to it half went corrupt. GOD please help lord lol. Urrrr.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I believe the issue is hardware, not rom related, have you searched xda for similar issues might be helpful.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

It's not encrypted? Is it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Added to your post.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Yes searched most said was a bad sd card but I have 2 new ones and they both don't loose any information if they are not in the phone and are using a adapter. I don't think it's encrypted I formated it when I put it in the phone. If it's hardware would that not require a replacement phone ? Had this problem ever since I bought it. Don't know what to do at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Did u by it used?

Do you have a smaller SD card.¿

If so format it using the phone.

Fat32

Not sure what's left.

It's mdk? Odin back? To stock?

Turn your data off so you don't take the ota.

Get it resolved. Reroot

Flash your rom.

If you don't fix it you'll be stock so you can send it back..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Did you format it with computer or the Phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
you can download a tool to format your card in fat 32 and still have 64 gig. I had similar issues, but the kernels now have the extfat code. I would odin back to stock, do a full partition wipe. then re root and start over. that fixed it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just did that a month ago. But sounds like a plan. Can you tell me what tool you used to turn it to fat32 and keep your space please? I'll do what you are saying in this post and try both formats when I get through and see if one or both are successful. Will report back thanks for all the help. It is greatly appreciated. Still haven't been able to enjoy the phone due to this. Praying it works.And by full partition your talking about odin back to original mdk, with cleared cache delvic and data right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] templton:
HI,

Great rom, but after installing I get the Super User error there is no SU Binary installed and su cannot install it....if you upgraded to 4.3 you need to manually re-root??? Does this mean I lost root. I never took the me7 or OTA update:confused: and I can still access twrp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
If you installed the "Stock Experience" version you will need to flash Root.zip in recovery afterwards for root (sorry I couldn't figure out how to get it to stick on initial install).

No clock on lock screen

Spoke too soon :( Lockscreen clock disappeared again. Anyone else seeing this?

Separate question - Is there supposed to be a Calendar widget available (besides the Briefing widget)? I don't see one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
No, I haven't had it dissappear yet but currently I'm using the hd widgets lockscreen clock. In the plain stock build there are 2 different sizes calendar widgets. I just looked through both zips and if it's the apk I think it is, SecCalenderProvider.apk, it is in both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
The calendar widget is called SPlannerAppWidget.apk. Its an option in your aroma installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
I just did a google search for the tool, I don't remember which.

When you oding back to stock select the repartition check mark. Hit the pit button and give it the file I included. Don't forget to extract the pit file. This will reformat everything you have, you will loose all data on your phones SD card. Once you boot the first time, before you root, under storage in settings, reformat your external SD card. Then you can root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
If you didn't select SPlannerWidget in the aroma installer then no. You can just SPlannerAppWidget.apk in the ROM zip file. If you cant find it digging through the aroma folders just open the MJ7 stock ROM and pull it out of system/app. You can drop it in your phones system/app flder with a root explorer. if that doesn't work put it in dark mms zip and flash it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
That's normal. I haven't themed anything in the dialer. It's just stock tmo dialer. [MENTION=3315419]gunnermike[/MENTION] is working on a themed dialer. Looking forward to seeing how it looks. :)
