I tried to implement Super Power Menu (Link) to stock 4.2.2.
I've done following to start:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\xxx\apktool\framework\1.apk
Now I try to decompile and recompile framework-res.apk without changes. It fails:
Code:
C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\apktool1.5.2.tar>java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk
I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...
I: Regular manifest package...

I: Done.

C:\Users\xxx\Downloads\apktool1.5.2.tar>java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res.apk

What's wrong?
Could someone help me?
Looks like a problem with apktool.yml. Is it located in the path the prompt is looking for it in?

I changed directory and used full path to targetfile and it worked. Thanks to your suggestion!
So I changed back to apktool folder and specified sourcepath now:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res framework-res_new.apk
W: Could not find sources
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Building apk file...
That worked now. Perfect!
Then I "signed" the apk by replacing/inserting "AndroidManifest.xml" and folder "META-INF" to "framework-res_new.apk".
I will do nandroid, replace (unchanged) file and report very soon.
Greetings
Glad it worked. Reading command prompts is like a native tongue once you get the hang of it.

Modified "framework-res.apk" worked. I only had to recreate Google account.
But modifying android.policy.odex resulted in bootloop.
I made following:
Deodex:
Code:
java -jar baksmali-1.4.2.jar -c core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:telephony-common.jar:mms-common.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar -x android.policy.odex
Made changes. (See attachment.)
Create dex:
Code:
dexopt-wrapper system/framework/android.policy.jar system/framework/patched_android.policy.odex $BOOTCLASSPATH
Restore signature:
Code:
busybox dd if=/system/framework/android.policy.odex of=/system/framework/patched_android.policy.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
Replaced android.policy.odex
Result: Bootloop
Any suggestions? I got no errors.
Greetings
I'm with my question in this thread at all right?

Before you get the idea please consider to thank Препод, poppuri and sk0t (from 4pda.ru) for their time and hard work, all credits go to them.
Here we go, the idea is simple , decompile "lidroid-res.apk", open "apktool.yml", you will find this :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
If you keep the "- 1" it will uses only one framework, you have to add "2", like this :
Code:
version: 1.4.5
apkFileName: lidroid-res.apk
isFrameworkApk: true
usesFramework:
ids:
- 1
- 2
Done, make your changes and re-compile, use my Apk_Manager if you have any trouble with ICS files.
Thanks again to Препод & poppuri & sk0t, don't forget to credit them.
as 2.apk - do I need to install twframework-res.apk or lidroid-res.apk?

i think you will need twframework-res.apk.
So, now we can translate to own languages the lidroid toggles, right?

Maybe because you used the second solution, i removed it from the first page.
Use this one instead :

I don't know what that error means but your apk manager is having problems with the smali
Try just doing the drawables with apk manager and see if that works...if it does work try the smali with this
Thank you but I have a problem. I don't know how can I use this tool.
Guide is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136625
but links are broken.
You could try that what jarmezrocks has posted on that thread or post on it for some help.
I may still have the video/s from that tut and i can check tonight when I'm back at my pc but if you google 'smali baksmali tutorial' you should be able to find all the Info you need...and more...it's all out there

I've just checked decompiling / compiling the SystemUI.apk (from the XXLSJ) and everything works well, with just a "standalone" apktool (1.5.0.5), on Windows 7.

If you want to use APKMultiTool, then you either install frameworks first with running the apktool from command line, or install the frameworks by choosing the "decompile apk with dependencies" option. (But I recommend using the apktool if command)
You only need to install frameworks once. (They are stored in C:\Users\username\apktool\1.apk and 2.apk)
Search for Apk manager for ICS.
Don't remember where I founded but works!
EDIT: Wanam apk manager ICS.
I'm not home now but I remember this apk manager is made by Wanam...search in his HP mate! If you want when I arrive at home I can upload for you and send Google docs link.

hi all..
I am trying to decomiple and then recompile SecContacts.apk from Lollipop 5.0 Rom..
It decompiles and recompiles fine but when I Push it to phone set Permissions and reboot it doesn't work..
I tried different versions of apktool but all have same result..
the error is "Parse error, There was a problem while parsing the package"
can anyone guide on how to recompile secContacts.apk
PS : i) Compiling decompiling works well for other apks including SystemUi, TWHome etc
ii) I tried 3 different SecContacts.apk from different 5.0 TW Roms and even 3,4 different aptools.. all have same result
Hi LAzY_kRAzY
1st) You MUST use SecContacts from your own ROM only. Do not try others.
2sd) When do you get this "Parser Error"? This error should be issued while compiling, not executing. Please be more detailed.
3rd) How did you do things? Decompiling/Recompiling with some tool set?
-=-=-=-=-=
How it should work:
a) Download last ApkTool 2.1.1
b) Be sure to have Java 1.7 installed

c) Extract from your ROM or Device the following files:
Code:
system/priv-app/SecContacts.apk
system/framework/framework-res.apk
system/framework/twframework-res.apk
Note: ALL files should be at the same folder
d) Install framework files at the command prompt:
Code:
c:>java -jar apktool_2.1.1.jar if framework-res.apk
...
c:>java -jar apktool_2.1.1.jar if twframework-res.apk
e) Decompile Contacts at the command prompt
Code:
c:>java -jar apktool_2.1.1.jar d SecContacts.apk -f
-f = if last decompile failed, it will overwrite
DO NO CHANGES AT ALL
f) Build Contacts at the command prompt
Code:
c:>java -jar apktool_2.1.1.jar b SecContacts -c
-c = Copies original AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF.
If you perform exactly these steps, does it work?
Any message different from success should be presented. The more details the better support you get.

hi all..
I am trying to decomiple and then recompile SecContacts.apk from Lollipop 5.0 Rom..
It decompiles and recompiles fine but when I Push it to phone set Permissions and reboot it doesn't work..
I tried different versions of apktool but all have same result..
the error is "Parse error, There was a problem while parsing the package"
can anyone guide on how to recompile secContacts.apk
PS : i) Compiling decompiling works well for other apks including SystemUi, TWHome etc
ii) I tried 3 different SecContacts.apk from different 5.0 TW Roms and even 3,4 different aptools.. all have same result

Hi LAzY_kRAzY
1st) You MUST use SecContacts from your own ROM only. Do not try others.
2sd) When do you get this "Parser Error"? This error should be issued while compiling, not executing. Please be more detailed.
3rd) How did you do things? Decompiling/Recompiling with some tool set?
-=-=-=-=-=
How it should work:
a) Download last ApkTool 2.1.1
b) Be sure to have Java 1.7 installed
c) Extract from your ROM or Device the following files:
Code:
system/priv-app/SecContacts.apk
system/framework/framework-res.apk
system/framework/twframework-res.apk
Note: ALL files should be at the same folder
d) Install framework files at the command prompt:
Code:
c:>java -jar apktool_2.1.1.jar if framework-res.apk
...
c:>java -jar apktool_2.1.1.jar if twframework-res.apk
e) Decompile Contacts at the command prompt

1st) I tried other secContacts.apk to test if they work fine.. If I am will use anything other than stock I will obviously ask for permission and give proper credits
2nd) I tried this using latest apktool and java versions.. I also tried TickelMyAndroid tool..
I am only getting this error with secContacts.apk
I themed stock SystemUI and TouchWiz for G900H.. decompiled and recompiled them using same tools.. they all work fine..
I get no error while compiling the apk but when I push it to phone and replace it in Priv-app/SecContacts set permissions and reboot it doesnt install like others.. If I click it and try to install like an apk it says Parsse Error..
P.S: I googled about this issue and I found out few other users also have this problem with 5.0 TW SecContats.apk but no solution was available
Hi LAzY_kRAzY
Please perform the experiment exactly as I've gave you making no modifications to SecContacts before building it and report back.
This is computer science and HAS to work.
Nice regards.

Ok ... the decompile/build procedures seem ok but the android icon instead of the default Contacts one is not good sign.
I can't test by myself as I'm running 5.1.1 and can not even try to decompile/build as you didn't provided framework files
Now lasts what exactly are you doing to re-install it.
You should, with your File Manager:
1st) Make a copy of your /system/priv-app/SecContacts.apk
2sd) Delete your /system/priv-app/SecContacts.apk
3rd) Copy /extSdCard/SecContacts.apk to /system/priv-app/
4th) Set permission of /system/priv-app/SecContacts.apk to rw-r--r-- (644)
5th) Restart your system ... a Hot Boot should suffice.
-=-=- At this moment you get the error ... right ? -=-=-=
Let me know
Nice regards.

@Kdio
As I told above everything works well for other themed apks like system UI nd TW..
I know pushing apks manually via root browsers, backing up old apks, setting permissions then rebooting etc.. there is no problem in it..
when I manually push the apk set permission and reboot Contacts and Phone apps dont appear in my app drawer as they do not install (because apk is corrupt or signature verification fails or soomething else) no error appears in this case but the app also doesn't install..
so if I go again in my root browser an browse to the secContacts.apk location and click it it shows an option to install.. I click it and then it shows Parse Error..

I am using the stock samsung rom and firmware..
I dont think its the problem of Rom or framework because all other stock apps decompile and recompile fine..
secondly as I mentioned earlier, I tried with other 5.0 TW roms with their respective frameworks but all had the same response..
so maybe its secContacts.apk issue..
anyways thanks for your effort and time :highfive:

Hi LAzY_kRAzY
As you didn't report solving the problem ...
I've been seeing several others getting the same issue you described and, for them, the solution was:
- Do not push original signature while building (without -c parameter)
- Sign the apk with whatever signature you want (different from original anyway)
- Follow [GUIDE]Disable signature verification
Please let us know.
Nice regards.

@Kdio thanks but I havent managed to get it working yet..

There is still a follow up from that services.jar method ... but not sure if it applies to our devices.
As you already have services.jar decompiled, check this out:

I don't know if yall have figured it out yet but decompile, make your changes, recompile. Open the newly compiled apk with 7zip/archive manager, open res, delete the raw folder (if there is one) , then open the original apk and drag and drop the res folder from the apk you compiled into the original then push the original. If you make smali changes just do the same thing. Open the new apk drag and drop the classes into the original push the original.
You have to delete the raw folder if swapping the res folder or else the sound file gets compressed and screws everything up
