Grab aapt.exe from android sdk folder and place inside apktool. Apktool 1.4.3 has recompilation issues.

Thank you, but after compiling (without changes or with changes) and installation (copy to system/app with rw-r-r-) phone doesn't start, stop on the logo Xperia.

After you're done compiling go to the builds folder copy the res folder & the arsc file, open the unmodded home.apk with a zip viewer like 7zip or winrar, delete the old res folder & arsc & replace it with the one on the build folder on where you compiled your modded home and that's it

C:\apktool>
It is most likely a coding error. What are you trying to change?
I am not in any way capable of understanding the log you posted but I've edited a fair amount of APKs and only had compiling errors if I screwed up something in an xml or smali file.
If you post an unedited framework-res, the one you edited, and a quick explanation of what you are trying to change I'll take a look

I am not saying this is a fix by any means but try this download Total commander and winzip. Now with apk files or zips I can go directly into them thru windows commander make any change I want and back out and it will save or recompile the apk or zip file for me and I can then push it over to the phone.
I have made quite a few changes to rom zip files as in removing apk's I dont want or putting my own apk's onto a rom before I install it on my phone.
I also have taken out png files from apk's and place them in other apk files if I so choose. So I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but give that setup a whirl... PM if you need any further assistance
Link Total Commander
Are you editing xml files our just changing png's?
Sent from your mom's phone.
First I just tried to see if I can rebuild it. I just downloaded it from rom and decompiled and then Oliver tried to rebuild without making any changes but I got all those errors. Too me it looks like I am missing library to rebuild it

Same problem here, resolved by:
Renaming the folders in the res as shown in the error from
xml-mcc450-mnc-1 to xml-mcc450-mnc1
xml-mcc604-mnc-1 to xml-mcc604-mnc1
Basically the last dash needs to be removed as when compiling doesn't like the 'dash' then number. I'm not sure what effect this may have but so far I've no issues at all after doing this for the framework-res.apk which has the same issue.

Phil

1) Download apktool 4.1.1 apk from link:
http://code.google.com/p/apktool/downloads/detail?name=Apktool4.1.1.apk&can=2&q=
2) download apktool4.1_armel.zip from link: http://code.google.com/p/apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool4.1_armel.zip&can=2&q=
3) extract above zip file ...you will get apktool folder.
Place apktool folder in root of SD card..
4) now install apktool apk and give it root permission...
5) now go to /system/framework/
And click on framework_Res.apk and list will come..now select import as framework...

Your instructions are clear and precise. Thank you for this wonderful tool, it works quite well.
I do have a few questions:
Do the framework-res files (TouchWiz and regular) need to be imported each time one decompiles/recompiles an odexed apk, or is once enough?
Also, where does the app leave its folders while it does its work? I noticed that while running the app, it appeared to pull the framework files into subfolders. Are these files left on the phone's internal storage, root of the phone, or removed after a session? These questions, of course, are related, but the bottom line is I am trying to understand the application's impact on resources and memory.
Thanks for your help!

1) no need to import framework files each time..just import it once.
If you changed the rom then you have to import new framework files of that rom..
2) app creates the files for each app in storage.
After editing, odexing or deodexing app just delete the folders like appname_src....

Thank you sir. The app works well, has some minor error messages with the phone and contacts apps, but this may be unrelated to your app. Overall this is an outstanding resource.
Thank you very much.

Quick question, how long does it usually take to decompile?

Hands free calls and read text messages.

How to get Google Assistant (OK Google) to make voice activated calls from your Android head unit via your phone and for your head unit to read you text messages to you.
Use a Windows computer to do the following:-
1. Create a folder C:\android. This will be the working folder. Place all of the downloads in this folder.
2. Download Tablet Talk apk from here: https://www.apkhere.com/down/com.apdroid.tabtalk_1.9.9.3_paid
Rename it as tabtalk.apk.
3. Download Java JRE and install if not already installed on the PC.
4. Download Java SDK from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
5. Download and extract Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
6. Download and extract the APKTool.zip from here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzOID2EFybpAbFh3bW55MGFmQ1E
7. Navigate to the APKTool folder. Right click and open a command prompt or powershell.
8. Type the following commands:
.\ apktool if tabtalk.apk
.\ apktool d tabtalk.apk
This will decompile the apk to a folder called “tabtalk”.
9. Open the folder and open the AndroidManifest.xml for editing.
10. Scroll down to around line 80, the line that reads <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL"/> and instert <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL"/> below it.
11. Scroll down to around line 90, the line that reads <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/> and instert <action android:name="android.intent.action.CALL"/> below it.
12. Save and close the modified xml file.
13. Recompile the apk by typing the following in the command prompt or powershell:
.\ apktool b tabtalk
This will create a new, modified tabtalk.apk inside the tabtalk folder.
14. Download and extract sign-apk.rar from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1846095&d=1364661948
15. Move the modified tabtalk.apk into the sign-apk folder.
16. Right click and open a command prompt or powershell.
17. Type the following command:
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 tabtalk.apk tabtalk-signed.apk
This will create a signed version of the modified apk.
18. Copy to the head unit and install. In Settings/Setup, set it as “Tablet”
19. Install Tablet Talk on your phone as well. In Settings/Setup, set it as phone.
20. In Tablet Talk, set both devices to connect by wi-fi (instead of bluetooth) and enable “hotspot” option.
21. Sync your Google contacts to the head unit. You might have to install Google Contacts Sync 4.4.4.
22. Start Google assistant and say “Call (one of your contacts).
23. Press the 3 dots beside the blue phone symbol and select Tablet Talk.
24. To make the head unit read your SMS text messages, use MacroDroid or Tasker and create a macro to read your notifications.
This looks more complicated than it is and it works really well. Thanks to senior members gustden and A_U for the original information which I have adapted for this purpose.
Please don't ask me to provide a copy of the modified apk. It is not my creation and it would not be ethical to do so.
thank you for the post.

Does that mean your post was no longer needed, or the method detailed by the OP is no longer needed?
Question for OP, is there a reason why wifi connection is required and bluetooth doesn't work?

I couldn't get it to work over Bluetooth. Some of these units seem to have an issue using Bluetooth with anything other than the built in phone and music apps. You might have better luck.
Can't you just upload your moded apk so I can download it and install directly from stage 14 or every head unit need different mod apk
