Recompile Contacts.apk 4.1.1 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

hello I would like your help to decompile and recompile the Contacts.apk. now I have installed on my s3 the Paranoid Android 2.16 and have already changed most of the apk without problems while the contacts ...... Apk Manager seems to do its job, but when it is installed on the phone I get an error and the apk will not start. Can you help me?

I myself hate it when people post in wrong section but I hate even more when people act like douchebags to them for making a mistake but come on dude really what part of this post is your own original android dev work? You've been here more than two years have more than 50 posts and still don't know which section is which. I just can't defend you.

Search for antibyte posts on modaco. Higgsy knows to do it here
Sent from my ME525 using XDA App
If you are just looking for the files Higgsy has posted them for download. But if you are looking to learn the process hopefully someone can point you to a good source as I want to learn this as well, but haven't had time to look yet.
Go to the development section, and look for the post with something like China 2.2 ROM with everything working. Then scroll down the post, and it will show you how to deodex using Higgsy.

Do You Need Your Native Languages in Custom ROM?
This poll will close on 29th September 2012 at 10:57 AM
Here are the possible answers to your questions( evn m a noob)
1. How to Get My Native Languages in Custom Rom? It's Indonesian Languages, We are in XSE Baseband
The languages are stored in the framework of the rom as values-xx (xx is the short form of your language example en is for english). You can add folders in there and then compile the framework
2. Can I Request to Put Our Indonesian Languages Into The Custom ROM?
LOL! Its your xda account. Do anything you want. Just dont spam the devs.
3. How to Make Third Party Apk into becoming System for Replacing Stock System APK?
Place the desired apk in /system/app of the rom
I think he not try to spam and maybe only know this is section for duos but not see this is developer section for duos..
Question and Ask for duos still can use in Q/A section bro just give detail title.. U can pm techno to move thread to that sec and dont forget to say sorry..

1.If you have decompiled an apk, you would obtain alot of files such as values-en,values-de etc in the /res folder. These folders contain all the translations of the rom. If you want new languages then decompile any app which has your language and copy all the folders starting from the name "values-" to decompiled framework-res.apk.
2.I meant something else from my statement. Dont spam the devs with PM's such as "I WANT THIS IN YOUR ROM". It really irritates us.Just say it once on our rom thread and its done. Yeah, I have received requests from some people to add more languages in the rom so I will be trying to add them.Even though I have never added languages..
3.Maybe the cache is created in /data folder? Or could be that you didnt copy the apk file to correct location. I dont have any idea
Thanks...

Building a rom

Are you here scrosler? I have been looking for help on how to build a rom for the months. I have pmed over a dozen developers and none would help. I would love some help. Even if it is only a point to a web site with detailed info. Like i said i got the kitchen installed was able to decompile an already complete rom and looked around and recompiled it but the whole updater script i know nothing about and what parts of the rom does what. I would love to make my own rom but have no idea where to go. I have checked out the android development section here on xda but honestly i need a little more beginner than i have seen. I guess the first step would be how to compile it correctly do it will run and how to do this do it will not brick my phone. Would really love any help i can get.

[Q] Please Read

I have posted a request for a zip file containing an AOSP Lockscreen to run on touchwiz base GS3 T999. I have not been helped and feel really left out. I really like XDA and have read and learned some new things regarding my G3S T Mobile. Came across some forums about the modded AOSP screen zip file but not for my phone. Could someone, PLEASE, PLEASE help me to find one or even make one if that's not to much to ask?
Thank you in advance,

Can you link me to the request thread in question ? I will take a look. Also please link to the Zip file that's not for your phone.
As far as Lock Screens go, AOSP and Touchwiz are not compatible. Having said that, Most of AOSP roms prefer Dash Clock or other such Lock Screen Widgets. If you really are looking for AOSP experience on Touchwiz, you can try Magic Locker app in play store.
He might want to look into Xposed modules too. I know they have a mod for it, but he has to learn how to use Xposed first.
Also, I really want to say that I remembered seeing an AOSP lockscreen zip in Themes and Apps, but it might have been in another forum section since I bounce around so much. I'll look for it in the next few days or so.
If all else fails, flash an AOSP ROM and theme it TWiz style. That's a sure fire way to get best of both worlds *cough* unless you still want wifi calling and other TWiz features will be lost *cough*.

I don't think he wants to leave Touchwiz. If he is wiling to then there's a lot of choices out there. Me, I'd use this app if I am on Touchwiz.

Thanks guys for the response! I am using Dandroid and love it but eventually I want to go back to using stock rom. This Dandroid is running AOSP Screen with Touchwiz and there are some forums showing AOSP screen zips for some Galaxies on T mobile but not for the GS3. I did try some of the zips but it didn't do anything, and I was trying to reply to a person who adjusted one to work for a Galaxy but he didn't respond back and that is why I was trying to post some new ones to get some help.

The AOSP lockscreen in Dandroid came from S3Rx. If you want the stock look, use S3Rx, not Dandroid.
This is a job for a custom ROM. I feel like you're trying to reinvent the wheel.

You need to install the apk from
http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk
After done, run that app. That's actually an installer which will do its own process. Follow through and then finish it. Once that's finished, try th AOSP apk you just now installed.

Yea MAN! It works on my stock 4.1.2. Although I have a few more questions if you don't mind? 1st the one AOSP I was using on the DANDROID had a way to access on the screen options to add more apps in the lock screen. I wonder if this can be done? And 2nd do you know if this will work when I update to 4.3 stock when it comes out? Just some thoughts but again thanks a million!!!

The On screen options to add more is called Lock Screen Widgets. That's pure AOSP feature. Yes go right ahead. It will work just fine. If you come across other modules that use Xposed apps then they too will work for you.
I do believe for 4.3, the Xposed Apps APK you just got will be updated. You will then have to get the latest apk. Or perhaps you could be lucky and it is already updated.

Cool thanks. Still a little confused though. The module is active and working AOSP Lockscreen 1.1 but there is no options listed to change apps on the screen. I checked in the settings, lock screen, lock screen options and screen lock but there is nothing. No widget either to allow for customizing apps. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
