[HELP] Compiling Home.apk on stock .42

I am having trouble compiling Home.apk on stock .42 firmware using apkmanager. It decompiles ok but when i try to compile after making a few small changes i get an error and the new Home.apk appears to be incomplete i.e 600kb instead of 800kb. When i place the new apk in the correct folder with correct permissions it doesnt work.
Any suggestions appriciated. Cheers

[MOD][15 Toggles] How to mod Lidroid framework

Before you get the idea please consider to thank Препод, poppuri and sk0t (from 4pda.ru) for their time and hard work, all credits go to them.
Here we go, the idea is simple , decompile "lidroid-res.apk", open "apktool.yml", you will find this :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
If you keep the "- 1" it will uses only one framework, you have to add "2", like this :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
- 2
Done, make your changes and re-compile, use my Apk_Manager if you have any trouble with ICS files.
Thanks again to Препод & poppuri & sk0t, don't forget to credit them.

as 2.apk - do I need to install twframework-res.apk or lidroid-res.apk?

i think you will need twframework-res.apk.

So, now we can translate to own languages the lidroid toggles, right?

Maybe because you used the second solution, i removed it from the first page.
Use this one instead :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
- 2

re-installed newer java runtime environment 1.7.0_03 and used your second method now it works! Thanks wanam for help!!

I don't know what that error means but your apk manager is having problems with the smali
Try just doing the drawables with apk manager and see if that works...if it does work try the smali with this

Thank you but I have a problem. I don't know how can I use this tool.
Guide is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136625
but links are broken.

You could try that what jarmezrocks has posted on that thread or post on it for some help.
I may still have the video/s from that tut and i can check tonight when I'm back at my pc but if you google 'smali baksmali tutorial' you should be able to find all the Info you need...and more...it's all out there

hello Sir.. there must be something to do with the codings in the statusbar .smali file.. try to inspect the codes again. it could be wrong codes that u have inserted. I ever came across these errors before when I tried to change some codes .smali file.. I managed to recompile when I reverted the original codes back..

Decompiled att ion framework-res.APK?

So I noticed we didn't, or I didn't see, a decomplied framework-res and I was looking up some stuff about it and tried a few things and here is the folders I got when I "decomplied" the res,
Assets
Images
Sounds
Webkit
res
508 folders, no reason to list them here
AndroidManifest.XML
From that I feel like something is missing from the decomplie and I wanted to ask before I pursue this more because I want to move in the right direction, I'm not a dev but I like to dawdle and who says an extra person playing with stuff will hurt?

According to Ganesh it's the recompile that hasn't worked out yet. Maybe that's because of what your saying, something is missing from the decompile.

Yes I did have a problem there if I recall but I had more progress when I put the apktool on the root of my hdd and then run cmd as admin
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium

I have another question, different topic but I didn't feel like making another topic and spamming the page, in sys/ Module/ restart/ parameters there is a file called Download_mode and its value is set to 1, does this file, if set to 0, stop the phone from rebooting out of download mode after a set period of time? If so then we should theoretically be able to find one for fast boot?

The Original size = 21 mb
The Decompiled-Recompiled Size = 15 mb.
Now if you try and push it to /system/framework you get boot loop.
And if you change resources, like adding pngs, it will not even compile.
We are missing something else here? Don't know what!

Are you doing this first:
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

Yup
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium

what version of APKTOOL you use?
Currently I am using version 1.5, I have no problem to compile or decompile (no error), but when I install framework-res.apk, my phone goes into bootloop.
I tried several utility to sign my file, but so far no result.

The newest version also talking about the att version just to be clear

Hello !
Have anything find a solution to compile correctly framework-res.apk. ???

just found one from Xperia S/Sola forums and it works for our ION :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943855
Followed the steps and changed the showNavigationBar value to true re-compiled the framework-res.apk and copied the resources.arsc from the compiled apk to original apk and pushed it to the Ion, and it worked. Can see the Navigation bar buttons now. The only catch is you cannot change the application backgrounds using the themes.

Thanks for the find and letting us know about it, much appreciated now I wana play with it!
Edited- after reading the linked topic I noticed that step 4 makes me feel stupid for not thinking of that lol but I dont fully understand step 5 and what those two lines of code are for, maybe if I was at my pc I could open it and see but I'm not so in the context what do they do?

Notice the bolded character? That's your issue.
What are your computer specs? Platform? .net framework version?
Shouldn't be generating directories like that.

Put it in program files. Not sure but that might be the issue. It can't create the files necessary because c drive needs administration rights to be able to write to it. Try running as admin and tell me what happens

so upon further inspection the directories it lists do exist... the files arent written on the c: drive so that wasnt the issue.

theres a pic of the directories open with the folders and latest recompile errors. im about ready to delete everything apktool related and start with something new.

the directories may exist, but it uses the installed location folder for the tools required. What ROM is this from? I get an error totally different from yours which means i am creating the directories properly. But it seems it is missing some framework files.

Install these files using the "Install proprietary framework" checkbox and you will get different errors but everything is working as should. You will have to use your smali/decompile/recompile skills to figure out the issue you have now I will let you have at it for a day or so as i have been busy lately but if you cannot figure it out i will try and find time to help.
