Hello all. Need some of your expert advice ASAP!
I'm very familiar with using APKTool and Compiling/Decompiling Apps. I've run into a problem with the framework-res and SystemUI apps.
Current ROM/App info:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Android 4.2.2 (Samsung Touchwiz)
Framework Installed in APKTool: framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
APKTool Version: 2.0 (I've tried almost every version of APKTool and AAPT)
Java Version: 1.7 (as required by APKTool 2.0)
OS: Windows and Linux (same results on each OS)
The framework and SystemUI apps decompile fine. No errors and all the XML/Smali files are perfect. The problem is that I can not recompile either of them. Each time I attempt, I get the same error regarding the Android Manifest file....
Code:

I have spent the past 6 hours searching and reading for possible solutions and nothing has worked. I know some dev's have been able to sucessfully compile these apps (even though MANY people have had this exact same problem).
Can anyone provide any assistance on what the fix/workaround is to get these apps compiled? FYI - I have even tried compiling the stock apps without any mods and I get the same errors.
Let me know if you need further clarification on my situation. And please, only respond if you have a known solution. I have speculated all day and chased every possible hunch.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Very basic mods.... Color changes mostly. But I can not even recompile unmodified apps after I decompile them.

I have tried everything possible. I'm going to set up a separate dev environment with some different tools/drivers and see if that has any effect.

I'm having the exact same problem for modding a keyboard. I have my JAVA PATH set to correct Java JDK location; correct paths set to android SDK files, which were placed in C:\windows (per advise for this problem). Also tried different APKTools. Nothing works

Hi to all of you!
I have a problem with decompiling, editing and recompiling Dolphin Browser Hd.
I use apktool both in Windows Seven and Ubuntu 11.10, I have the same problem in both operative system.
I am able to decompile the apk, but when I try to recompile it, even if I haven't edited anything, I received this error:

Can anyone help me? I have found a lot of people having this issue but no one can solve it. These are two threads about it: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=277&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Stars%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=282
I have the same problem if I try do recompile all the apk in /data/app.
Not exactly at all, I have this issue just with Dolphin Browser Hd, I upload that apk for you with my framework.
I am able to recompile this Dolphin Browser Hd apk, version 4.0.
I think it gives error if the dependency source file is not there, I'm not sure.have successfully decompiled the go launcher but recompiling gave me errors.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Why are you telling the source file is not there? I have framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk. Isn't enough?
I have found Dolphin apk I attached and I was able to recompile it. I don't know why, it is the same version of mine.
i tried recompiling the Home.apk, in the same condition i decompiled it, but it gives an error,
i installed
SemcGenericUxpRes.apk and framework-res.apk and it succesfully decompiled.
also: i tried an older version of apktool , 1.4.1 which was succesfull with some samsung phones in other threads but no success with that either
i also tried copying the latest aapt from the sdk to the apktool installation, nothing.
so if anyone has had success recompiling sony ICS apks, then help..

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).

edit:
say i just want to change the values.xml, so is there a workaround maybe?
edit: i mean integers.xml
Hurray!!! i found something,
Just decompile apk, replace the string <style name="Layout.ButtonContainer" for <style name="Layout.ButtonContainer" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar"> at \res\values\styles.xml and compile...

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

i've try many ways but its always end with no luck..
that's doesn't matter my bro,
i also hope for new version / way that will works perfectly,
thanks for ur answer..
Hey, please don't ignore this problem. Every project I started is stopped by this error, I can't fix many of my roms because of it. I can't continue my work so please help me. Don't think I am another one person who has no idea what he is doing, I have some experience in porting but no one wants help me.
I have done many ports for my LG Swift and now I started developement for Xperia J.
But I'm struggling with error that doesn't allow me to fix the worse bugs in my ports.
The situation:
I have succesfull decompiled, patched and compiled framework.jar for my MIUI5 port, same with LiGux, MIUI4 and many others.
But when I try to fix Phone.apk ( values/bools.xml ) then it gives me this error when smailing (no matter which rom I'm poring):

YES! I remember about if framework-res.apk and if ANY_ADDIITONAL_FRAMEWORK_HERE.apk
I tried to recompile those Phone.apk's on Ubuntu too but still the same error.
I have tried many versions of apktool, I have tried various tools for recompiling, I have tried to do it manually too.
I never works, always the same error.
Please help me with this, I can't finish most of my ports beacuse of it : (

not the apktool i meant the AAPT
The same, the newest version from this site: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
The phone apk has been a problem for awhile now. It can't be recompiled by any means at the moment and needs to be built from source.
Wayne Tech Nexus
So how can I build it from source? For MIUI5, LiGux ?

For MIUI you cant. and if the other one doesnt provide source then you cant from them either.
Great,,, so there is no ability to fix not working micro in my LiGux port and Unlock Sim Code in Xperia MIUI port :/
Use miui's apktool: https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_tools/blob/jellybean/aapt.exe and https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_tools/blob/jellybean/apktool.jar
apktool d -t miui -f Phone.apk
apktool b -f Phone unsigned-Phone.apk
java -jar signapk.jar platform.x509.pem platform.pk8 unsigned-Phone.apk signed-Phone.apk
zipalign -v -f 4 signed-Phone.apk Phone.apk

Thanks, will try
Phone.apk
For Phone.apk, you will encounter a lot of errors on the recompile thanks to bad XML files in a few languages. The key here is to read the errors and correct them. Essentially there are the following problems with strings:
Strings that were broken onto multiple lines. Make them on one line.
For the above lines, remove the extra double quotes that are on the inside of the ><.
Look for apostrophes and put a \ in front of them.
Lastly there will be a bunch of lines with variable replacement codes in them like %1$d. These are all just text strings for some kind of error messages. Seems to be problems with all the stuff surrounding throttling. I simply removed the codes as I don't really care about such messages. Wish I understood the variables better but again, these were very limited messages and I don't see this as a major issue.
There is a lot to clean up, but don't let anyone tell you that this cannot be done because it most certainly can.
Okay, so I have my framework-res.apk pulled out and decompiled for the S4...
> http://www.overkillhq.com/downloads/tech/framework-res.apk
I have installed apktools and successfully decompiled the apk...
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk
I back up the manifest/meta-inf and later copy it back when appropriate
I remove the following lines:
Code:
<string-array translatable="false" name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app">
<item>"com.samsung.spg"</item>
<item>"com.samsung.spg.NewSPGActivity"</item>
</string-array>
I then go to build and get the following:
Code:
C:\apktoolsJB>java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res
W: Could not find sources
I: Checking whether resources has changed...

What should I do to get back on track?
We need to wait for a new apktool, it's a known problem at this point. I've managed to edit some java with smali/baksmali, but not yet resources. THere is some chatter over in the ATT S4 forum about someone that got it to compile.
[FIX] systemUI, framework-res, SecPhone compile error

If you didn't develop it it doesn't belong in the development section.
Please watch the noob video it explains not to do just this and why. You will get more support if you ask in the correct section... Q and A

Other thread is similar but different:
This is for those having compiling issues with systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and the error is a layout error. Here is what I did to fix it.
For example the error in framework-res that pops up: "@layout/keyguard_transport_control" which is in keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml
Just change the line to "[email protected]/keyguard_transport_control"

If you get a layout error, stick a + in front of your @ and it will ward off compiling demons.
Also, I'm not sure what "wifi_watchdog_on" and "subscription_mode" do in our settings.db; anybody able to enlighten me on this?
What is widgetsoid doing to enable the built-in wifi with the toggle?!

Lesson learned. I apologize; I come from a forum that posts all root/advanced discussion in the development subthread, assumed this would be the same. Mods please move thread as you see fit =)
I went from scratch and found that if I followed another user's suggestion (cannot recall to give credit, 4:30 AM with a 6:30 wakeup time =/) in combination with the "+" trick, I got the APK to build with warnings about the translations:
Instead of removing all 4 lines, replace them with a single line:
Code:
<string-array translatable="false" name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" />
Put @layout instead of @layout in 6 locations:
Code:
res\layout\keyguard_screen_password_landscape.xml
res\layout\keyguard_screen_password_portrait.xml
res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
res\layout\keyguard_screen_tab_unlock_land.xml
res\layout\keyguard_screen_unlock_landscape.xml
res\layout\keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml
I'm scared to do it but I'm about to move this to my phone...wish me luck!

And now my phone is stuck at the verizon logo and ADB won't recognize it...can somebody link the thread I need to reference to fix this?
I'm at work right now (retail manager) and I need the phone tonight. This will be a lesson in playing with my phone when I'm tired and have things to do later ^_^
Thanks

Can you get into download mode? If so use Odin to flash back to stock. That's what I would try. Its not bricked as you prolly know just need to wipe and flash with Odin the correct .tar for your verizon device.

good deal! Odin has saved me every time I mess up my Sammy =]
So I looked at the Odin file I downloaded; is there a way to JUST flash the system.img.ext4 file from the tarball i downloaded? I want to keep goofing around with this and maybe be the one to post a working hack xD
Thanks guys,
Overkill
Alrighty...
I installed CWRM so that I can use ADB if needed to push the original file back, great success!
Whenever I use a modified framework-res.apk, it seems to freeze at the verizon logo =(
I have now tried using the APK Multi-Tool and apktools to create the modded framework-res.apk
Expected: Free native hotspot, wootsauce!
Actual: Phone stops loading at the Verizon logo and stays there. I have to re-load the original APK and the phone boots fine.

Cool. I also figured out it was because I didn't wipe the [dalvik] cache (I wiped both, not sure which one did it).
Going to see about removing the E911 icon next...

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

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

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.
