Has anybody workable apktool on JB 4.2? I tried many versions, 1.5.1/1.5.0, but failed to compiled.
What tools do you use to mod phone.apk / systemui.apk / framework-res.pak now?

HAve you got aapt from the latest sdk? that is most likely the issue. I just tried decompiling and recompiling of a few 4.2 files with no problem. I used a apktool snapshot I compiled from the git.
thanks！ I tried different aapt.exe and I think it is problem. Could you share me your aapt.exe?

I can use apktool 1.5.1 pre with the latest aapt.exe(size:5972K) to install framework-res.apk and decompiled phone.apk (both from Cataclysm ROM or stock jelly bean 4.2 deodexed) successfully. But never can I compile them! Enclosed screenshot... What must I missing?
For me I get error when trying to decompile JB apk so I use FJ-apktools and then I sign and decompile + recompile modified apk + zipalign with Android kitchen then it works well..
This may be good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053227 I have not tested this yet.
I tried FJ-APKTOOLS yesterday, failed...

hi
APKTOOL_JB4.2 no work recompile GalleryGoogle.apk
sorry for google translate.
Try this one before modding your gallery. Copy your browser.apk to your tools folder then apktool if browser.apk. Some of the apps requires the browser to be installed on your apktool folder in order for them to decompile and recompile.

No fixes required. All you need to do is get the latest sdk, and a snapshot of apktool 1.5.1.

I am not clear from what you did. But you need to do it this way.
apktool if ion SemcGenericUxRes.apk
apktool d -t ion framework-res.apk out
make changes to decompiled source
apktool b out new.framework-res.apk
Now open both framework-res.apk and new.framework-res.apk side by side using an archiver. Do not use windows open.
Now you will notice one thing that the new framework does not contain META-INF folder.
Delete the resources.arsc file from the original framework-res. Drag the resources.arsc from the new framework-res and dump it on to the original framework-res. Close both the files.
Now you are ready to use the updated original framework-res.apk

1.Install framework about framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.
2.Decompile framework-res.apk and make change of the source.
3.Recompile framework-res.apk and build the new framework-res.apk.
4.Take the resources.arsc and the raw which I changed from the new framework-res.apk to the original framework-res.apk.
5.Replace the final framework-res.apk in my phone with 644 permission.
I reboot and loop in the bootanimation.

It is not about the SystemUI, there is something wrong about java, i can't recompile any other system app with apktool as i said, i used lots of versions of apktool and this problem still remains, maybe it is something to do with Windows 8?

Hello XDA,
I am trying to decompile settings.apk from stock GB rom to modify it as ICS settings & i know how to do it because i have done it before on other phones. My problem is Apk-Multi-Tool won't let me install SemcGenericUxp.apk, i installed framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk.
When i try to decompile settings.apk with just framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk install its says "Can't find framework resources...."
I tried to decompile with dependee apk using option "10" & drag the SemcGenericUxp.apk but i says "Sorry its not a dependee apk...."
Anyone having any type of knowledge please input some!
Thanks!!
Did you set up the frameworks (framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk, if I recall correctly) with apktool using command
Code:
apktool if name-of-file.apk

Thanks for the reply.
I am not using apk-tool but apk-multi-tool because its easy to do decompile/recompile with it & also chances of errors also decreases due to straight forward steps.
Any other help?

I tried moding E10i Settings.apk from stock rom using apk-multi-tool and all went good, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754168
whats wrong with our SemcGenericUxp.apk?:crying:
I just found a work around!:laugh:
Hi,
i have themed/edited Settings.apk, then i recompiled/signed/zipaligned without warnings with ApkTool, but once overwritten original Settings.apk and chmoded to 0644 i can't restart the phone, it is stuck on "Android starting" or "updating" (i can't remember the correct text showing). Now i resored the original Settings.apk and all is working fine.
Am i missing something? I have used framework-res and framework-res-htc.
I'm on rooted stock rom latest firmware, no xposed.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
which version of apktool?
you need to manually resign the rebuild apk in newer apktool versions
In order to run a rebuilt application. You must resign the application. Android documentation can help with this.

I'm using "Advanced ApkTool v4.2.0", apktool.jar is a compatible version for marshmallow but i don't remember the version number, previously i themed various xperia themes for marshmallow without issues.
What do you mean with "you need to manually resign the rebuild apk in newer apktool versions"? Like i said i'm using Advanced ApkToo and it has sign command.
Double post is an error, i have requested the deletion.
Thank you
ah ok, thought you were using the standalone apktool from ibotpeaches, there you have to resign the rebuild apk yourself.
just check the link in the quote
