[Q] Editing ContactsProvider.apk, weird error, should I generate .odex file?

I used apktool to add arrays.xml file to ContactsProvider.apk and enable Facebook native sync option. All is explained here:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d ContactsProvider.apk
Then I've added arrays.xml to /res/values folder builded tha .apk again:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b ContactsProvider ContactsProvider.apk
However replacing the original ContactsProvider.apk file gives me a weird error message about gapp process that crashes. I'm on JB 4.1.2 stock. Is this because the old .odex file? If yes, how can I regenerate it?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem. Did you solved it?

Sorry if this is an old topic but... I also have the same problem.

Not solved yet... :crying:

Thanks for this. Maybe people will stop demanding so much and start to experiment and learn themselves....

Thanks, I've been having trouble using apkmanager and needed to get a good setup with apktools for editing framework. I'll give this a go and a very special thanks for the instructions!

Ok, for me I have to type apktool.jar d framework-res.apk and then I edited \values\arrays.xml and when I type apktool.jar b framework-res it created a build/apk folder but it is empty... Any ideas? I was trying jovy's tethering mod. I also ran aptool.jar if framework-res.apk first and verified the user folder was created with a file called 1.apk. Probably a noob question and I apologize in advance.
I have also previously reinstalled JRE for both normal and x64 versions plus ensured they are added to my path environment. I also added a JAVA_HOME entry and added the path in the values to my JRE path. Hmmm....that's about it I guess for now.
Thanks

dude thanks so much.
i needed someone to hold my hand through this. ill try it once im off work.

when I use this tool on (Windows XP 32bit), I get "Build" folder, when it tries to Compile (and it can be empty, if it tried to compile and got interrupted, or possibly a error)
I usually delete these 2 folders (build + dist)... (if they are there) right before a Re-compile.
\build = project folder of Re-compiling.
\dist = project Newly created .apk (or .jar) file goes.
Working with APKTool is easy... but you learn the most by using a lot and testing it yourself. I try many different methods and recheck the file if did 1 way, then I try another way and see if any thing is changed by another method (lots of comparing and confidence builds this way) Something that is tuff to explain in Text and in Instructions, but eventually, you have confidence in file comparisons and makes sense then.
*** Sometimes I see different Text words, that seam like could be error (but to me Error text, is when the CMD box filles with much extra TEXT and you can tell it messed up... NOT just 1 text line of code)

[MOD][TUTORIAL] Customize NavigationBar height

Hello,
In this tutorial I´ll show you how to change the height of your NavBar.
This Tutorial works for any Rom!
Requirements
Text-Editor, e.g. Notepad++
WinRar/WinZip/Bandzip
Apktool (Download)
installed Java (Download)
JDK (Download)
root on your Nexus 4
a FileManager like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer
your framework-res.apk
some Cmd experience (just a little)
.. and some time/nerves
.. let´s go
Before getting started, make a Nandroid Backup (if you get Bootoop etc)!
The decompliling:
First you need to create a new folder like "C:\apktool". Download Apktool and extract the files to C:\apktool
copy your framework-res.apk to C:\apktool
open Cmd
navigate to your apktool (with "cd C:\apktool")
type in: java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk [enter] (...installation of your framework)
type in: java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk [enter]
finished!
Now you should have a new folder named framework-res. That´s your decompiled framework-res.apk.
The customizing of your NavBar height:
Navigate to /res/values
open dimens.xml in your Text-Editor
search the 3 lines which include navigation_bar_height, navigation_bar_height_landscape, und navigation_bar_width
type in your desired dpi number (for default it´s 48dpi)
CAUTION: At width, you should calculate the numeral proportion of the height to the width.
If you got that, save!
The (Re-)compiling:
Cmd (if you have not left it open, you must navigate again to C:\apktool
type in: java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res [enter]
The newly compiled framework-res.apk is located in C:\apktool\framework-res\dist
CAUTION: Copy the META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml from your old framework-res.apk to your newly compiled one! Otherwise you´ll get Bootloop.
Now copy your framework-res.apk with a file manager to /system/framework. After that reboot immediately!
Finished! Have fun with your smaller/higher NavBar.
If there are some question, ask in this thread, I´ll help you as good as possible. Please don´t write me PM´s with support requests.
The "small-print":
Neither XDA-Developers.com, nor me are responible for any damages on your device!

I'm pretty sure this is the same for changing your Navigation Bar white or any color you want?
But instead I think its the navbar.xml that you need to edit correct?

Right. But maybe it's in SysUI.apk, I don't know right now.

"CAUTION: At width, you should calculate the numeral proportion of the height to the width."
What's the scale? I set 36dpi both on height and landsape_hight, what's the width should I do? And I want the background of navigation to more smaller...

First of all, please delete fullquote Second: Proportion is like 48:42=36:x (x is width, just calculate). And third: Which background do you mean?

framework-res.apk

Hello, I see. Maybe you should try this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755243

I created an AndroidApktool, which makes it easier to mod your files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326604
It helps you in this Tutorial much, too.

How do you move the old META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml into the new apk after it's already compiled?

With WinRar or 7zip etc.

I followed every step and I end up with same as paperecho, empty framework-res folder.

Do you get the same error as he?

Is it possible to set the alignment of the softkeys to the left side (especially for the Nexus 7/10)?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

It's possible for sure, but I don't know how. Ive got no experience with tablets, sorry.

I'm also finished with empty folder framework-res..

Maybe you guys should download the newest apktool version and replace it with the one in my folder. I think this should solve your problem

Does anyone know what values they use to make the softkeys stay vertical when the phone is in landscape mode? I'm trying to do that with my tablets. Thanks

Works Great Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 Kitkat

In Android L, it didn't work in type in "java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk" & "java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk"...

can you tell how can I use this jar file because there no place where you can put your apk to decompile. or can you create the tool to decompile apk like previous apk tool.

[Tool] Samloader (SamFirm / Frija replacement)

Hello,
I recently wanted to download some firmware for my Samsung device, but I realized that there is no 100% open source program to do so. In fact, all the tools that claim to do so require a library that is packed by Themida (so it is difficult to check what this might be doing), in order to authenticate to the server. This is a native DLL, meaning that it is only compatible with Windows x86. Additionally, many of these tools are actually using stolen decompiled code from SamFirm, which, apart from being possibly illegal, means they would be difficult to maintain and run slowly.
So, I decided to reverse engineer Smart Switch to figure out exactly how the download is taking place, and wrote a cross-platform tool that does this without using the Windows DLL that the other tools have, making it compatible with Linux and MacOS. I also realized that the newer versions are actually using a new version of the authentication algorithm, meaning possibly at some point the old tools might stop working as Samsung drops support for it.
You can find it at:
Code:
https://github.com/nlscc/samloader
To install, go to the downloaded repository and run:
Code:
pip3 install .
See the README or look at the code for usage. You might want to know that my old github account, nm111, was unfortunately deleted, and I lost access to my old XDA account. You can see the verified email is the same however.
Feel free to use the algorithms I figured out in your own code, so long as you don't use it in proprietary programs. It is licensed under GNU GPLv3 or later.
This works for all phones, not just S10+, but I couldn't find a better forum and this is where Frija posted.

Thank you. This is pretty cool. I downloaded it now and will check it out later tonight.

Can you please do the same thing for the emergency recovery option.
Will you update your tool if it still working in the future?

This is going to be super useful for me (ATM I'm using SamFirm with wine/proton and my setup breaks often, and GUI gets in my way) since I need to download many firmwares for my reverse-engineering, so thanks!

Late for this great find, thanks to the xda article, really needed a solution outside Windows.
PS, what are the chances for spoofing a request, i.e, trying to fetch only the latest OTA from a certain CSC?

@nn000 Glad this made the front page. I have used this for a little wile now and it works great
@phhusson
This will work on windows if you use the WSL and install Ubuntu. You could probably get this working under Cygwin too.

Great work mate. Helps to gather various download. Unfortunately enough Samshung does not allow older firmware via server fetching..

Hi, thanks for this great tool as samfirm and frija are slow to download firmwares. I am trying to download firmware for galaxy watch. I can only search the firmware version but when trying to download it there is error:
filename = root.find("./FUSBody/Put/BINARY_NAME/Data").text
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'
is there any way to modify this tool to download watch firmware too?

You are genius! Thanks for this tool. Can't wait to try this :good:

Brilliant work!
Thank you very much for developing this tool and removing our dependency on Windows for such basic functionality as checking for and downloading firmware updates. Thank you also for having the foresight and generosity to publish this under the GPL.
This tool will receive a huge amount of use on my machines.

Thanks in advance, I don't know how to download the program, they would be so kind to give me a link. Thank you very much

I tried installing with the command found in the readme file
Code:
pip3 install git+https://github.com/nlscc/samloader.git
But when I type
Code:
$ samloader --help
It says "samloader: command not found"

Beautiful. Thanks for this tool!

The problem is right there in front of you: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

It's pretty annoying when there are requirements and you find out about them afterwards.
Would be good to write them to the install instructions
- python3
- git
- Buildtools for MS C++

Thanks for this, it works well! Cheers..
:highfive:
Example:
Install
Code:
pip3 install git+https://github.com/nlscc/samloader.git
Check update
Code:
samloader -m SM-G975F -r NZC checkupdate
Download
Code:
samloader -m SM-G975F -r NZC download -v G975FXXS9DTI8/G975FOXM9DTI8/G975FXXS9DTI8/G975FXXS9DTI8 -O /home/hinxnz/Downloads
Decrypt
Code:
samloader -m SM-G975F -r NZC decrypt -v G975FXXS9DTI8/G975FOXM9DTI8/G975FXXS9DTI8/G975FXXS9DTI8 -V 4 -i SM-G975F_1_20200921075534_uii8oafhih_fac.zip.enc4 -o SM-G975F_1_20200921075534_uii8oafhih_fac.zip
