Like the compiler said, you didn't add lines in strings.xml, and the hex code you added was over, write hex in a way in continuation to the respective part in public.xml
Thank You,

Wait you mean i forgot to add any one line mention above? or... i don't get it =[

1. You didn't add lines in strings.xml or manifest
2. You also set the hex codes wrong
3. You might have not installed framework files
Thank You,
Aeon

do you mean this part where i set the codes wrongly?
Add these to the end of string names in public.xml (/res/values/public.xml)
I did copy whatever that was posted above. =\
EDIT: I saw some post saying it only require the android policy jar to work as you don't really have to mod the framework apk file. True or?

The android.policy.jar file that i posted is what i did using your tutorial, is there anything wrong i did in there that make it not work?

After trying your android.policy.jar mod I am getting the lockscreen settings but no lockscreen. And editing framework-res.apk gives bootloop, as you mentioned earlier it needs editing androidmanifest.xml, but afaik editing it changes the signature of the apk.
I am using a lot of mods (including hansip87's) and I want to incorporate this mod too.
And I dont want to flash the rom.
Any help will be appreciated

what about mod for GB

[Q] Having trouble compiling SystemUI.apk

So I'm in the process of porting a theme (for IE20) and I'm making good progress, however I can't seem to get the SystemUI.apk to compile correctly even without changing anything. (using APK manager 5.0.2)
I actually updated it from v5 to see if it would help but I keep getting the same error
Here's the log:

From reading the log I would say I just have to decompile with dependencies (the twframework-res.apk if I'm not mistaken?) but that doesn't seem to work.
And if it makes a difference, when I install the frameworks they get installed to C:\Users\Jon\apktool\framework no matter what, whether I install them via apk manager or cmd, then again I might just be using the wrong command.
Basically the product .apk is 12.4 KBs when it should be around 300 KBs.
Any help is appreciated!
Decompile systemUI.apk using framework-res.apk as a dependency. Not twframework.
good day.

That came up with the same error, log is exactly the same so I won't bother posting it.
EDIT:
When I try to use framework-res.apk as a dependency I get the error: "Sorry thats not the dependee apk, try again"
However if I use twframework it decompiles but I get the error when I compile it.
So your steps are.
1.add systemUI.apk to place here to be modded folder.
2.option 10 in the apk mgr script
3when prompted (simply drag the framework-res.apk from you framework folder in to the apk mgr script window)
4.enter
5.make edits to apk
6.option 11 to compile.
7.is this a system apk (Y)
8.Would you like to copy over any bla bla bla to reduce errors? (Y)
9.go to keep folder and delete resources.arc if you made any xml edits
10.go to drawable hdpi in keep folder and delete any images that you edited.
11. enter in script to continue/finish compiling.
good day.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------
ok just saw your edited post. TBH I've used all those steps above to theme aosp. My only theming of touch wiz I did was eclair/froyo which did not include systemUI so it make sense with needing twframe.
good day.

That's exactly what I would do if I didn't get errors first.
The first error is when I drag over framework-res.apk "Sorry thats not the dependee apk, try again"
Now if i drag in the twframework-res.apk I can get to #6 in your guide and I get the error "An Error Occured, Please Check The Log"
Press any key to continue . . .
Then I proceed to steps #7, 8, 9,10,11.
Now I have an apk that is 269 KBs, compared to the stock SystemUI.apk which is 308 KBs.
One minute, going to push this to my phone and see what happens.
Okay that seems to have given me a fully intact SystemUI.apk.
I guess I was just getting paranoid with the smaller size and the error.
So instead of saying no to
Code:
8.Would you like to copy over any bla bla bla to reduce errors? (Y)
like I did with the other .apk files I said yes and that's what made it work.
Thank you!
Okay so that didn't work after all. Apparently that works fine if I don't change anything, but once I did my xml edits I had problems.
It seems the files I delete in the keep folder don't get compiled in resulting SystemUI.apk. This also explains why the file size is smaller.
Everything leads back to the error in the log but...I don't know what to do next...Here's a log following chopper's steps precisely aside from using twframework-res.apk instead of framework-res.apk.

i thought ROM modders would have come across this error before, so, here..
edit:
@sumguyfromhell,
i have latest aapt from sdk, java jdk, jre
Seems like you have made a mistake while editing a .xml file, as it is unable to compile the file(xml files are compiled to a bit different language).

i just did that, no editing done, i directly recompiled after the decompiling..
edit:
say i just want to change the values.xml, so is there a workaround maybe?

update your sdk to latest version, then copy aapt.exe from platform-tools to apktool directory, that was the fix i had found on the apktool bugtracker.
edit:you have to install frameworks again after replacing aapt

a lot of people including me are waiting for the next version of apktool just because of the errors that are met when recompiling ICS apks..
it does not accept some parts of a lot of xml files, so many need to be changed just to recompile the file, many files excluding the actual modifications we need to do..
well i am no expert at this, so i may be wrong, but my experience in trying to recompile leads me to conclude that i should wait for the next version

[DEV QUESTION] Modify deskop number in Home.apk

Hi, I want modify the number of deskop on my Ray ...
In the Home.apk, this line in the R$integer.smali file :
".field public static final number_of_desktop_panes:I = 0x7f09000a"
But I don't understand this integer format ? and How can I modify this ?? (and it's possible ?)
Or another way to modify the number of desktop ??
Thanks for your dev answers !
u have to unpack Home.apk via APK tool, then find in res/values/integers.xml.
there u will see Number of desktop panes=5 , Modify to whichever number u like...
Then repack, re-sign, zipalign apk..

It clearly states the error that when u open styles.xml there is something that u added or modified in 4th line(styles.xml:4: ) that has no resources added in public.xml and strings.xml..
Dont add new things or dont rename anything in xmls coz then u have to change it in public.xml and strings.xml and if its linked to more xmls..
For newbies, u should only change values like numbers in dimens.xml and integers.xml.. dont rename files..

sorry doctor, but i dont think so. i really just decompiled Home.apk (installing framework before ofcourse) and directly recompiled it again without even open Home folder to see integer.xml and friends.
i've tried in myfriend's pc (also windows) and the screen also told me the same error. but when i tried to modify another app, it just finished like a charm.

Great work... I have one simple request. There is litlle bug wit this mod because we can't add , for example photo/gallery widget because it is active on 4th desktop... 4th and 5th desktop are now hidden and you can swipe to them as they are active but hidden. Just suggestion to completeley remove them if it is possible of course

I am looking for help with APKTool. I have tried using the current stable version, as well as the 2.x beta. Both with same result. I am even using the dependancies on the official google code site. My android sdk is fully updated, and both JRE and JDK are installed (both installations done about 2 weeks ago, with no prompt to update since)

Error log says could not find resources. It means you have not installed framework-res.apk (in case of Samsung Touchwiz phones install twframework also).
Solution :-
Pull framwork-red.apk and for Samsung TW phones pull twframawork-res.apk and put it where you keep files in apktool.
If you are using APK Multitool with GUI, then first button is for installing framework.
If you are using command line apktool, type
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
to install framework.
Then decompile and recompile.
Press Thanks if helped

Try with Android Multitool.
If it does not work give me that apk and framework. I will try to decompile it.
Wait........ Is it a 3rd party app? (I mean not a system app?)
Then it might be possible that developer is using some other resources, different than in your framework.

Thanks, but it didn't help. I will keep the tool, ask my girlfriend to look over the log when there is time, but so far, still an error. I have not been able to recompile.
It is a system app. I modified one file to enable calls on my TF300TG. I have included 7zip files of the apk, and of the values folder. The values folder goes inside the res folder of the decompiled apk, before recompiling. If you could recompile for me, I will give you all the cookies!

You did not tell me you had JellyBean. I found it when I took a look at framework-res.apk manifest.
There is some problem with decompiling and recompiling JB Framework. (No problem for other apks)
So I did a bit searching and I found this
monstaX said:
Grab an ICS framework-res apk. Replace manifest resources.arsc and res from the ICS apk with the one from jb apk. Then dexompile with apktool142.jar and then edit. Then recompile with apktoll144.jar. then open the apk that recompiled and take out manifest resources.arsc and res and place back in jb framework sorry if its to confusing. But just a quick write up

I thank you for your assistance. I will take a look at the link when I get home. I know it might be asking a lot, but would it be possible for you to make the required resources.arsc for me? Basically, I only need two variabls in bools.xml changed. I have attached my bools.xml file.
If you are able to, I greatly appreciate the help. Hell, I greatly appreciate the help anyway. This stuff is a little beyond my current knowledge pool though.
is this proble solved? you want recompiled system file like systemui.apk?
try to delete folder "values-mcc9989-mnc999" in your decopile folder /res/here
press thanks button if i helped you
