I am trying to edit the ICS launcher's manifest so that I can make it work with previous version.. I was thinking that maybe apktool had to be updated for every os update but am not sure as I am new to this....
Thanks for the help.. Sorry if this is the wrong place

Or you using the latest apktool, also you need to load your resource files ( framework.res.apk, com.resources.apk)

@carl1961
Nice tool and great tutorial, thank you very much.

Awesome job putting this together, thanks!! I am out of the thanks for the moment but I have this page kept open.

Hi,
I have totally repackaged your tools and added some of my own that will be of great help to people. The Smali packages I made my self, the dex2jar toolset was made by the guy that originally did the translating. Credits to him.
I have also packaged everything with the latest smali/baksmali which will do Ice Cream Sandwich as well and it totally backawards compatible
You now don't need instructions at all you just type decompile before the name of any jar file and it will do it all for you...same as for recompile (although I haven't tested that yet though. I assume that you will need to do all the regular stuff like apktool as I set it up the same
Code:
decompile services.jar
thats it...its that simple
Code:
recompile out -o classes.dex
then -> WinRAR services.jar and drag classes.dex back in and close
NOTE: Use the help function. It is decompile.bat. It wil print the options in prompt for you.
You guys who are ICS or less will need to change API level from default 14 (as you should all do anyway Rule #1 check the api level of the toolset and Question #1 is can it be changed to match mine? in this case yes!

PS: I am about to write a plugin or module (if I can find the damn time) to decompile do full scripting comparison as a porting toolset i.e. place two jar files in the respectable locations launch the menu and it will decompile the two jar files, and then print a report on screen and then you can select how you want to proceed...still nutting that one out? I.e. swap classes in or out of one or both sides

Though I didn't read your guides (Because I followed zeppelinrox instructions on his thread), but it is very very kind of you to go through the extend to create those guides. :good::good:

good to know though i am a dev noob~ haha

Could we use this for making "skip-track-via-volume-buttons" mod with this. Pardon me am a noob. But i really want to learn a how-to for Non-CyanogenMods. Maybe my signature could express my willingness.
Thanks.

You don't have to compare with your eyes.. if you are running linux, just do a "diff" between the smali file from the htc framework and one from CM. It will show you all the differences each file has.

cannot compile apk

I was making some color changes in my systemui.apk but it will not compile now. Im getting this error.

The clue is in the error:

temui\res/drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi
Whats wrong with the bolded area?

the slash is the wrong way? why would it do that?

apktool incorrectly decompiled it. You need to remove those wrong slahes in the xml.

well ****, that seems like a lot of work

Nothing ctrl F won't fix. Or a grep.
Or just use the xml you modified and keep the old stuff.

now when u say to just use the xml i modded...how? do i just copy it to the apk im trying to flash? I thought it had to be recompiled? or can i recompile an individual xml. Im new to this whole themeing thing

If your using primo in there make sure to use com.htc.resources.apk and framework-red.apk as the framework files, that seems to be the problem.

b4 you decomp your files, u need 2 do:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Then u kan decomp, chang things nd compile

[Q] recompling framework-res.apk

ok,
due to capacative button lag on the ics leaks (for me, not sure why its there.) i decided to try and follow a tutorial found at android authority. everything seemed pretty strait forward and easy, till i tried to recompile. i've tried the method shown in that tutorial, i tried following several random guides i found for autoapktool that agat posted, i've tried using apk manager(which wouldnt even let me decompile it). i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. using the method in the android authority and the autoapktool threw out the following error message.

The system cannot find the drive specified.

i know i could just install cm9 or aokp, but i find myself strangely ditermined to see this through. however, as i know just enough to get myself in trouble, perhaps i'm glad its getting stuck on recompiling before i pushed it to my device and inadvertently caused damage.
i'm obviously missing something. is there a better guide to follow?

Can you please post the decompile log from autoapktool?

Maybe post the original framework file too?

I won't be near the computer till tonight. (I work night shift with some nice perks) but I'll get that up tonight. The apk is the framework-res.apk from phantom hacker's ics blazer rom, but I'll post that as well tonight.

No problem. I won't be available until later anyway also.
Edit: No need to post the file, I already have Phantom's rom so I can extract the framework from there. But post the decompile log file anyway so we can take a look at it. TTYL

Here is the modded flashable framework. It had a couple of bad .9.png files in it. Still getting some errors but it recompiled fine. Make a backup before you try it.
Ciao - TD

its probably the directory name having "." in it...

I've never seen that. How can I check for it.
Edit: I replace the .9.png files and the errors go away btw.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

make sure your using the aapt.exe from the old apktool when you recompile. I dont use the autoapktool, I use the original and the one modded for ics. I use the ics to decompile, then drag the aapt.exe from the original to my current folder when I recompile. Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558171

Have you installed the relevant files first? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759573

SystemUI has different recompile.. I was looking for a solution for 20 days but noone helped.. anyway here is %100 solution of myself for recompiling SystemUI.apk
>> use wanam's ICS apk manager. it works with GB too..
>> Before decompile .apk , right click and ' open archive ' with 7-zip. Drag & drop classes.dex file to a folder or desktop, and delete inside the .apk..
Decompile it, do what you want and recompile.. After all is ok, open unsigned apk with 7-zip and drag&drop classes.dex back.
Cheers..
Opss, ıf U still have recompile problem, try using latest 'aapt' file. ,)

thanks for the reply ...i will give each method a try ...
