Works perfectly fine for me...
Sent from my Liberty using XDA
what version of apktool are you using
Newest, I believe
Sent from my Liberty using XDA
yeah this ones tricky...
lets call one oldapktool.jar and one apktool.jar
get in a directory with oldapktool.jar and framework-res.apk
rename oldapktool.jar to apktool.jar
install ur framework "apktool if framework-res.apk"
decompile ur framework "apktool d framework-res.apk"
????
overwrite apktool.jar with newer one (its 1.4.3)
compile ur framework "apktool b framework-res"
dont ask me why the older one does it. i have too many copies of apktool and aapt that i have to mix and match to take apart and put togeather apks.
still not working and aapt is there and the path is set right dont get it

so forget the aapt.exe and .bat from the zip i gave you.
for me its defaulting to the one in my system32 dir which is the latest from the android sdk. dont use any of the aapt from apktool. update your aapt via android sdk (for me its using sdk manager.exe which grabs all the sdk tools, not sure on ubnix)
then try it again

It's weird it works for any other file in the rom except for this 1
compile with 1.4.3 and decompile with 1.4.2
i havent been able to decompile crap...

did you delete classes.dex before decompiling?
I'm using android 4.3 stock version of framework-res.apk to decompile Settings.apk but Apktool 1.5.2 & Apktool 2.0 beta are giving me this error :
"Can't find framework resources for package of id: 2. You must install proper framework files, see project website for more info."
any help ?
Found the Problem & fixed apktool
apparently I needed to install SemcGenericUxpRes.apk before decompiling the Settings.apk file, another problem presented itself at this point..
installing SemcGenericUxpRes.apk using apktool 2.0 beta 7 resulted an error :

As I'm no longer modding, this thread will not be updated anymore. Please refer to apktool issues https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues?q=is:issue++ and discussions https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/discussions for latest infomation
Since many got apktool.jar errors and don't know how to search or solve themself, I decided to explain and provide solutions here with links to Github. I have a friend who sometime can help me with this.
I will do my best to get much info. Feel free to post your thoughts
Know your error:
There’s a wide range of error messages you may encounter when decompiling and compiling your app. Depending on the kind of error you encounter, apktool.jar will always display the error message. Spotting error messages is easy
For example this log:
Code:
I: Using Apktool 2.4.1
I: Smaling smali folder into classes.dex...
I: Smaling smali_classes2 folder into classes2.dex...
I: Building resources...
W: D:\xxx\AndroidManifest.xml:15: Tag <uses-permission> attribute name has invalid character ' '.
brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = 1): [C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\Temp\brut_util_Jar_2200487015856364895.tmp, p, --forced-package-id, 127, --min-sdk-version, 19, --target-sdk-version, 28, --version-code, 19227, --version-name, 4.1.1, --no-version-vectors, -F, C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\Temp\APKTOOL3877124333918122178.tmp, -e, C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\Temp\APKTOOL2736431752124554942.tmp, -0, arsc, -I, C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\apktool\framework\1.apk, -S, D:\xxx\res, -M, D:\xxx\AndroidManifest.xml]
If you think could not exec is your error, it's actually not, the real error is actually a 'warning'
Code:
W: D:\APK Easy Tool\1-Decompiled APKs\xxx\AndroidManifest.xml:15: Tag <uses-permission> attribute name has invalid character ' '
The good thing it tells you which line it occured AndroidManifest.xml:15:. it's line 15 in AndroidManifest.xml
This was caused by a space in a permission tag. Removing it will fix the compiling error

It's not always a simple fix. This always depending
Check the APK file:
Sometimes APK is obfuscated in many ways.
Open the APK using 7-zip and WinRar and see if the first classes.dex is smaller than 500 KB or way bigger than 10 MB. If so, it a sign it's encrypted. Decompiling and compiling the big dex file will result in a smaller size and it will fail to decrypt due to missing encrypted block
Decompile and check if smali files and codes are obfuscated. This is an example of Netflix app that is obfuscated
Don't ask me how to break protected APK, I'm not a reverser so I can't help you with it.
Troubleshooting:
Sometime those troubleshooting tricks helps fixing errors. Please try one or more of the following below
- If you are using any 3rd party GUI tools, please try the actual apktool.jar with CMD first
- Use latest version of apktool.jar: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/ and test
- If you are using latest version, try use older version of apktool.jar. Sometimes it can mitigate the issue
- Clear framework apktool empty-framework-dir --force and decompile the APK again.
- Decompile APK with --only-main-classes (Only disasemble dex classes in root (classes[0-9].dex). Prevents disasemble dex from assets folder) (apktool 2.4.1 and up only)
- Decompile APK with --no-res if you are only editing Java (smali) (--no-res will prevent the decompile of resources. This keeps the resources.arsc intact without any decode.)
- Decompile APK with --no-src if you are only editing the resources (xml) (--no-src will prevent the disassembly of the dex file(s). This keeps the apk dex file(s) and simply moves it during build.)
- Compile with --use-aapt2 (Use the aapt2 binary instead of appt)
Errors list:
Tip: Press CTRL + F and find the words
If there is no error you are looking for, search it on following Github issue pages
Apktool: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues
Baksmali/smali: https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/issues
Deompile errors:
* Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException (XML related)
This is an issue with apktool 2.4.1. Downgrade to 2.4.0 or below (2.3.4 is better)
* Exception in thread "main" org.jf.dexlib2.dexbacked.DexBackedDexFile$NotADexFile: Not a valid dex magic value: (xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx)
Rare issue, it usally caused if it tries to decompile encrypted dex from assets folder
Decompile APK with --only-main-classes
* Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.DirectoryException: Error copying file: res
This is a trick to prevent decompiling on Windows. Open the APK file using 7zip or Winrar and delete the unnamed file from res folder
Or use Mac/Linux until then
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1460
* Invalid debug offset
These are legitimate warnings about inconsistencies in the dex file. The invalid debug offset is otherwise ignored and the classes are successfully disassembled.
Compile errors:
* brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = -1073741515)
This was an issue with Java 8 32-bit on Apktool 2.4.0. Install 64-bit of Java or switch to other version
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2141
* Cant find 9patch chunk in file: (...). Renaming it to *.png.
APK is Obfuscated
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81088145&postcount=619
* Cannot run program "aapt": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
Not a bug. This means the default application that is copied to tmp and executed, could not be done. Therefore it relied on the aapt binary being accessible in the $PATH variable.
* Class (...) has already been interned
Decompile APK with --only-main-classes (apktool 2.4.1 and up only)
* Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.PathNotExist: apktool.yml
apktool.yml does not exist, because APK did not decompiled completely. Decompile again
* Float types not allowed
Remove the decimal from version number maybe?
Reported issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82840671&postcount=699
* Invalid resource directory name
Currently unknown. Try clear framework if you don't work with system apps
* Invalid file name: must contain only (...). Ignoring...
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2282
* JAXP 1.5 Support is required to validate XML
Update apktool.jar to the latest version
* No resource identifier found for attribute 'isSplitRequired' in package 'android'
Split APK is not supported yet. See https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2218
If you are following some tutorials how to merge split apks into one, then remove the attribute android:isSplitRequired="true" from AndroidManifest.xml, save and compile again
* No resource identifier found for attribute (...) in package (...)
There are many reasons why. Please refer to these issues for more infomation: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues?q=No+resource+identifier+found+for+attribute+
Try clear framework if you don't work with system apps
Sometimes, removing the attribute will fix the error and the app would run fine without it. Always test if the app is working fine or not
* No resource found that matches the given name
There are many reasons why. This is not always easy to fix
See issues
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2365
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2362
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2339
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2422
Try clear framework if you don't work with system apps
If you are working with system apps, you may need framework installed.
* Tag (...) missing required attribute name.
Not an easy fix, but you can try --use-aapt2 or don't decode resources (-r, --no-res) if you don't need
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1880
Tag <uses-permission> attribute name has invalid character ' '
This was caused by a space in an attribute name. Removing it will fix the compiling error
Example, change:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.finsky.permission.CHECK_LICENSE "/>
to
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.finsky.permission.CHECK_LICENSE"/>
* Unsupported res type name for bags
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1719
* Unsigned short value out of range: 65536
You have too many methods. The method index can't fit into an unsigned 16-bit value each dex
Simply move your codes to smali_classes(X) or create new one. For example if smali_classes2 is the latest, move code to smali_classes3

Sounds like the app has a protection against tampering. I cannot help with that

I believe it has been fixed https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/pull/2650
Try using latest commit of apktool.jar (Requires Github account to download) https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/actions/runs/1712896706

When you write:
"Sometimes, removing the attribute will fix the error and the app would run fine without it. Always test if the app is working fine or not"
where i can do it, removing the attribute ?
My error is:
W: C:\Users\Marco\Documents\APK Easy Tool\1-Decompiled APKs\XRecorder_v2.1.1.1__Arm7_Pro__UserUpload.Net\res\layout\a0.xml:2: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'paddingBottomNoButtons' in package 'videoeditor.videorecorder.screenrecorder'
etc...

By editing the xml if you know how. I won't cover it here
Otherwise report issue to https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues

Sorry, didn't saw this post. I think this is a feature. You should contact iBotPeaches

It can't be a feature. SystemUI.apk won't work without res/**.xml-v??
When I change the Minimum SDK Version using ApkTool. The apk it's Crashing.
Just a heads-up.
If you like modifying Android core files (like framework.jar) on Android 10 or greater (API 29+) using apktool 2.6.1 it's not going to work so nicely even if it doesn't bomb on an error.
Code:
Error occurred while disassembling class Landroid.util.proto.HapiProto; - skipping class
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 6
at org.jf.dexlib2.HiddenApiRestriction.getAllFlags(HiddenApiRestriction.java:108)
It will make a mish-mash of the new hidden API modifiers (whitelist, greylist, greylist-max-o...)
@iBotPeaches has this already in sight and is trying to resolve it.
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2918
On a bit of a tangent, in the interim I tried the "nuclear option".
I was working on a framework.jar and couldn't "round-trip" it, so I edited out all the hidden API modifiers.
It builds fine, but the logcat was a train wreck.
Anybody know why?
Edit: I gave up on nuking all hidden API modifiers.
apktool d works fine so I can disassemble at least, but I don't think there are any options to show the file addresses of the instructions.
So I wrote a work-in-progress to disassemble with file addresses:
Code:
C:\>dexdump classes.dex /cKeyboardEntryMap /mgenerateMap
KeyboardEntryMap
002eebec generateMap
002eebfc const-string/jumbo
002eec02 invoke-static
002eec08 move-result-object
...
002eec62 invoke-interface
002eec68 goto
002eec6a return-void
Then I just need some judicious hex editing to nops or return-void.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class brut.androlib.res.data.value.ResStringValue cannot be cast to class brut.androlib.res.data.value.ResIntValue (brut.

Anyone know anything about this?
Hello, I'm posting that thread because I need help to compile the Apktool JAR file into a Linux binary.
I need to compile it into a binary because my VPS can't run Java, when running Java, there is a lot of problems, maybe that because my portable Java installation is wrong, I dont know.
(my VPS provider dont provide Java and has disabled tools like APT, YUM, PACMAN, SNAP or DPKG...)
I thought it could be a better idea to compile the Apktool JAR file into a native Linux binary, and I've done it, but there is a problem in the binary.
Since my server is on Linux x86_64 (Unknown distribution) and my PC is on Linux x86_64 (MX Linux, Debian-based), it could work.
After a lot of searching, I finally installed GraalVM Native Image and made a command to compile the JAR file into a binary.
And after 15 minutes on my (bad) computer it generated a Linux binary file, but when trying to decompile an APK on my computer with it, it gaves:
$ ./apktool d myapp.apk -f
I: Using Apktool 2.7.0 on myapp.apk
I: Loading resource table...

at brut.apktool.Main.main(Main.java:79)
But if on my computer I run the same command but with the JAR file, it gaves:
$ java -jar apktool.jar d myapp.apk -f
I: Using Apktool 2.7.0 on myapp.apk
I: Loading resource table...

I: Baksmaling classes2.dex...
I: Copying assets and libs...

(so it works on the same APK with the JAR file but not with the binary)
In this message, there will be the binary I've compiled. (for Linux x86_64 only)
Please note that I'm new to XDA Developers, but also to Java and GraalVM Native Image: I never touched one single line of Java code.
I made Python programms, but I never made any Java code. And I discovered GraalVM yesterday.
Can someone help me please ?
And, it is possible that I have problems with APK frameworks when running the binary on my server ?
I can only access to files under my home directory, will I need to install frameworks manually in an "apktool" directory on my home directory ?
Thanks in advance, HGStyleOfficial (my real nickname is HGStyle but it was allready taken on the forum by a random guy registered in 2010 and who didnt had many activities on the forum...)
