So what do you want to do? de-compile Phone.apk, edit some files, then re-compile it? With apktool, right?

Yes, I got that error when I try to pack Setting.apk. It's because MIUI apk use some directory notation that not standard to apktool.
Ex. values-hugeui
I solve this by changing values-hugeui to values-xxhdpi (or maybe values-xhdpi, don't know that hugeui means exactly). If values-xxhdpi exists, you can try to merge all files and config in it.

May I correct my wrong answer, MIUI use its own apktool & aapt. So to rebuild MIUI apk you should add ~/path/to//miui/tools to your $PATH environment and it should be at the start of $PATH to override other apktool & aapt.

original framework-res.apk from original ROM? if i use apk manager, how i can do it?
i have a problem to decompile an apk, it's the framework-miui-res.apk, when i try to decompile with apktool it give me a warning (W: Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/popup_item_single_normal.9.png". Renaming it to *.png. ) anyways it decompile all the files and i can edit it, but whan i try to compile it's a completly mess, give me a lot of errors
i was googling it , and i found that the error is because there are two files with the same name in xml files, i try to replace it, rename it, using different tools and version of apktool, making "apktool if", but i just can't make it compile. any ideas?

Your problem was stated on the decompile. The .9 issue will throw up errors on everything when it is the only thing wrong. Might want to ask on the MIUI site
already did that, but there's no answer

Have you tried fixing the .9 png ?
yeap, it creates two files when decompile, one is 9.png but is trash(0kb) and the other is the .png file, i try to rename the png (with 9.png) delete the 9.png file but it didn't work.
also i decompile another framework-miui-res.apk from another rom(without error) , extrac the 9.png replace in my rom and still no work.

Ok just renaming the png to a .9 will not work. .9 pngs are special made pngs with a special border system. Can you decompile and recompile the apk without the error?

Sorry I don't touch anything from MIUI. There are a few threads around. Search for an MIUI themeing thread and they should be able to help you.

The only two choices are using apktool or compiling it from the source code and making your changes and using apktool. What version of android is it for? ICS needs 2 versions. One to decompile and one to compile. I have themed every OS version I have used and with the right searching and some trial and error it has always worked. Including ics
it's based on android 2.3.7, and try that also(using 1.4.2 to decompile and 1.4.3 to compile)
Hi guys.
I have Apk Manager.
And, most of apks don't decompile.
I guess this is due to Api level.
Is there any way to increase the api level in apk manager?
Or is there a mod of apk manager that works with JB.
Please reply asap

I don't know much about apk manager but in apktools you can change the api level by -a command..it is generally used while deodexing ..
however, api level will not give you troubles if you use the latest apktool..it included all the magic numbers to work with JB apps..

Ok.
So i've downloaded the apktool.jar version 1.5.0
alongside the new aapt.exe
Should i use the old apktool.bat to work with this one?

Follow the below steps:
Place both Apktool and aapt.exe in the windows directory
have java installed (you might already have it)
right click inside the windows directory, in any clean space, choose open command prompt here
use:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d your <apkpath> <destinationfolderpath>
to decompile and
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b <yourdestinationfolderpath> <yourfinalapkpath>
to recompile the final apk...just drag and drop the folders/apks to cmd, it will add the path
drag and drop the android.manifest.xml and meta-inf files from the original apk to the final apk after you are done..open both the files with 7zip/winrar

There's no option of decompiling.

Hello XDA brothers.
I am running Android APK MULTI TOOL for recompiling and decompiling an APK. When I decompile it, it goes smoothly. But when I attempt recompiling, it gives A LOT of errors stating at the end "... is not defined". This is not an after-mod error because I tried recompiling it right after decompiling, without even opening the decompiled folder. It still gives the same error. Kind of frustrating. So, can anyone help?¿

Hi there,
I have been struggling for long time with decompiling and resompiling LGsettings.apk for my Android L theme. Here is the solution:
LGSettings.apk
Look for /res/layout/dialog_title_secondlines.xml. In the 4. line change
Code:
@*com.lge.internal:style/DialogWindowTitle.Holo.Light
to
Code:
"@com.lge:style/DialogWindowTitle.Holo.Light"
Then look for /res/xml/preference_widget_checkbox.xml. In the second line change:
Code:
"@*com.lge.internal:style/Widget.Holo.Light.CompoundButton.CheckBox'
to
Code:
"@com.lge:style/Widget.Holo.Light.CompoundButton.CheckBox"
Source
Check res/values/arrays.xml if you an find "<" here. If yes replace all with "<". Save and close, try to recompile.
Source.
LGEasySettings.apk
Do the same changes. In this case I did not have "<"-s in the arrays.xml.
Update: unfortunately the Settings app crashes after successful recompiling.
Hit the thanks button if it helped.

This line has already been changed in V10L
So for the news
I have the wrong references in 10L. The same with the settings apk from your Rom. ?
Just finishing compiling, send testers and I take relationships
Beta9 or RC2 apktool?
Ok, Cloudyfa gave a hint. Just made the changes as described above, recompiled the apk and replaced within the zip the original files that were touched. No crash anymore, it works.
@Kickoff. Which apktool do you recommend using? I'm currently using Beta9
