I am trying to compile contacts.apk (from Galaxy SII TouchWiz 4.0) and I cannot do it.
I'm using APK Manager 5.0
I install the proper framework, it decompiles successfully but it won't re-compile. I'm only changing one text color in colors.xml
I have attached the error log file.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I'm guess I'm not experienced enough to see the errror log...

Here's the deal...I downloaded youtube v2.4.4 from here. I opened it in 7zip and extracted the res folder so I could re-theme it. I made my changes then put the res folder back into the original apk. Now this is where the problem occurs. I can't for the life of me figure out how to re-sign the .apk! I have tried every single apk-signer out there to no avail. I have put it in apkManager then decompiled it optimized PNGs recompiled then signed then zipaligned but EVERY time I install it on my phone I get either "Application not installed." or "There is a problem parsing the package." I have uninstalled all versions already on my phone through Titanium Backup prior to installing my themed one. I have manually put it in /System/app and changed permissions and rebooted. NOTHING I do works. I have adb and java installed and in the PATH. I have tried every possible solution I have found on the internet and none work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You!
P.S. I have an HTC Thunderbolt running the latest build (3/17/12) of ThunderStick Full Blown Sense 3.0 (Thread for this ROM here)
Here is the edited res folder - Maybe someone can look at or use it for troubleshooting.
Thanks again for any input on this problem.
go to market and search and download zipsigner2. open it and navigate to the app and then chose and output and save it as an .apk file and it should install like normal
Hi Im using cm10.1 on my desire s.
I'm using latest apktool. I'm trying to mod in call screen to make more transparent I did found out how to do it thanks to XDA.
but when I recompile it I got error as in screenshot.
I installed framework-res.apk from my rom and decompiled phone.apk
than I edited Phone\res\layout\in_call_screenui.xml that's it.
when I try to recomple it. I get errors in Phone\values\strings.xml which I didn't even edited. I don't get error in every values folder though.
so what am I doing wrong here? can any1 help please?
You may need to install another resource apk, look in your framework folder for one and retrace your steps to make sure you didn't miss anything.
I want to theme my AOSP Jelly Bean 4.2 contacts app to look like the attached image. I want to change the blue banner and blue text to the grey color (#222222).
I have tried creating my own tmobile engine theme but always run into APK compile errors. I have used APK Multitool to decompile Annex's CM10.1 Theme Template apk, then immediately tried to recompile (without editing anything yet) and get the included screenshot error.
I've also thought about replacing the images in Contacts.apk file with my modified ones but that still will not solve the font color issue. Plus not sure if it will even work?
Any help to my compile error?
Not expecting this by any means, but if anyone has alot of theming knowledge or is a themer, I wouldn't assume it would take long to make those slight changes if someone wouldn't mind. But I'm not hoping to be able to do it all myself if I can figure out why I can not compile apks.
Hi there
I am facing a strange problem. I am decompiling resources.arsc using APK Multitool (from official site) with no problems. I then change a few colors in res\values\colors.xml. Then I recompile and delete the resources.arsc from the keep folder as instructed. The apk colpiles ok but to my surprise there is no change in the colors. I decompile it again only to find that the changes i made have been reverted.
Amusingly enough I tried APK Multitool Stable Release from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341351 And it recompiles fine and even the resources.arsc is changes (via time stamp and size) but the framework-res when pushed through adb causes bootloop.
I am stuck at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am on a Micormax A52 with Gingerbread 2.3.7 (Stock).
Thank You
Hi i am trying to perform some mods on framework-res.apk.
I am using deodex I9105PXXUBMI3_I9105POXXBMJ1_I9105PXXUBMI1_HOME that i deodexed using Pandas guide in the other forum.
I can decompile it without problems but when i try to recompile it even without changing anything i get a lot of erros. Tried to update aapt.exe use diffrent version of apktool, apkmanger and so on but still no luck. Searched both the forum and the web for answer but nothing have worked for me.
Tried to run apk if framework-res.apk and same with twframework and tried without.
No luck.
Below is the log and the framework-res.apk file does anyone know why i get this errors.
Framework-res.apk https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38268704/delat/framework-res.apk
Edit: temporally solved it by adding a + sign before the missing layouts as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41563695&postcount=31
apperently i did not search well enough. But it feels like it should exist a better solution
