[Q] Help with Miui Patchrom!

Hi!
I've been working on a Miui ROM for the Wildfire S. I am using MiCode Patchrom. I'm having some problems—can you help me?
Here's the log: (under Mac OS X Lion)

make: *** [out/framework-res.apk] Error 1
So, what gives? I've tried changing the PATH, updating ApkTool, etc…, and most of the questions about this on forums aren't very helpful.
Thanks!
Also—I'm building Miui v4

[Q]What does this error in apktool mean?

Hey Guys,
I was modding my SystemUI.apk. I successfully decompiled it with apktool (the latest one), made the changes and then recompiled. I didn't make any changes to .9.png files, when I tried to recompile... it failed, I get this error ---

I can see that most of these errors are related to AndroidManifest.xml. But I can't understand
Code:
Caused by: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec command: [aapt, p, --min-sdk-version, 10, --target-sdk-version, 10, -F, /tmp/APKTOOL2376566775151219854.tmp, -I, /root/apktool/framework/1.apk, -S, /home/jason/SystemUI/res, -M, /home/jason/SystemUI/AndroidManifest.xml]
and
Code:
Caused by: brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec command: [aapt, p, --min-sdk-version, 10, --target-sdk-version, 10, -F, /tmp/APKTOOL2376566775151219854.tmp, -I, /root/apktool/framework/1.apk, -S, /home/jason/SystemUI/res, -M, /home/jason/SystemUI/AndroidManifest.xml]
part. BTW, I did tinker with the XMLs but I didn't make any changes to them. What does "[aapt, p, --min-sdk-version, 10, --target-sdk-version, 10, -F, /tmp/APKTOOL2376566775151219854.tmp, -I, /root/apktool/framework/1.apk, -S, /home/jason/SystemUI/res, -M, /home/jason/SystemUI/AndroidManifest.xml]" mean???
Any Ideas? I do have SDK installed...
Thanks in advance guys!

The only errors that mean anything is the beginning. The rest are due to that one error. It states that the styles XML is pointing to a style that isn't there. Do you have the proper frameworks installed?
Wayne Tech Nexus

Thanks for Replying!
I do have framework files installed... I did "apktool if framework-res.apk". That is the only framework apk I can find.

Ok here is your errors. Cross ref these in the decompiled frameworks apk
/home/jason/SystemUI/res/values/styles.xml:3: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@*android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Panel'.
/home/jason/SystemUI/res/values/styles.xml:8: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@*android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Panel'.

There is no such thing called Theme.Holo.Light.Panel in the decompiled framework! Wait a second, the SystemUI that I'm trying to edit has already been edited by someone, is that the reason things are not working???
Theme.Holo.Light.Panel is not there in any XML, I double checked.
Thanks!

Very well could be. Where did you get the apk from?

I got the apk from a Custom ROM for my phone...

Well... no, I didn't pull the framework-res from the phone after installing the ROM because I can't setup ADB on Linux . I recently posted a thread where I asked if anybody knew the solution but nobody responded:crying:. I tried most of the methods out there to setup ADB on Linux but none of them work. I got the framework-res straight out of the flashable ZIP of the ROM.
Thank you!

They should be the same thing. And you are running the if command for apktool for both the framework-res and the system ui apks right?
Not sure about the adb for linux as all my themeing is done in windows

Yes, I have both of them if-ed I'm starting to consider formatting my whole system and setting up a good development environment...

Thats what I did today myself. I have a proper dual boot going with win7 and ubuntu 13.04.

I believe this is the same problem I described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41045630#post41045630
In a nutshell, old APKs aren't compatible with new AAPT, mainly private extended styles and parents inherited must be present.

After downloading apktool(Thank you soo much for this), I replaced the aapt provided with apktool with the aapt from the latest SDK. Is this the reason?

Need Help Changing Home Screen Grid On HTC Blinkfeed Launcher

I need some help changing the home screen grid size of the Blinkfeed launcher ported for AOSP based ROM's. I have created a seperate thread for the HTC One S here. The original thread is here.
The grid size in the launcher is currently 4 x 4 but it is too spaced out vertically (see attached pic). So what I want to do is change the prism.apk to reduce the vertical spacing for 4 x 4 and create a separate zip with a 4 x 5 grid size.
I understand the files that need changing are integers.xml and dimens.xml in prism.apk
The problem I am having is that I am unable to compile the prism.apk. I have tried using APKTool and Virtuous 10 Studio and get the same following error:
C:\Android\APK Tool\prismblack\res\values\styles.xml:2868: error: Error: No reso
urce found that matches the given name: attr 'android:searchViewEditQuery'.

I get this error without even changing any of the values, just decompiling, then compiling the prism.apk again. I have tried updating the APKTool version, updating the aapt.exe file, reinstalling Android SDK. The launcher only works on android 4.4 so I've updated the SDK to the newest version, still get the same errors.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this to compile or can anyone try to compile this on their system to see if its the file itself?
Also, does anyone have the values that I need to change the dimens.xml file to, so it fit's correctly on the One S? Otherwise its trial and error.
@Flashalot @rc420head @grorg - All help would be greatly appreciated.

1 - To change the the drawer to 4x5 and so on I believe is done with smail and the files you have already mentioned but I haven't done this mod in awhile
2 - did you decompile with m8 framework installed seeing as it from the m8 I would believe you have to decompile it with the framework

Legend. That was it, added the framework and it compiled correctly. :good:
The app drawer grid size I'm not bothered about, its more the homescreen. The guides I have looked at don't mention editing smali files so I'll try with just integers.xml and dimens.xml and see what happens.
One quick question, do you know if the values I need to change in dimens.xml will be the same with all devices with hdpi resolution or will they be specific to the ville?
Edit: Tried all the guides/tutorials, nothing changes, must have to change the smali files as well.

i think i wrong edit my framework-res.apk but i try decompile and no edit ,its same cannot recompile framework-res
sorry to my english

friend try this
hi friend i think there is ssomething error in the apktool
i have posted a link below
:cyclops: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43353411&postcount=54:cyclops:
download that version
unzip that file to a specific folder ther you open comand prompt by shift+right click
in that first type
step-1
apktool if framework-res.apk (here xxxxxx.apk is your desired apk file)
step-2(decompile)
apktool d xxxxxxx.apk
step-3(recompile)
apktool b -f -d xxxxxxx
you find the recompiled apk in xxxxxx/dist folder open it with winrar or 7zip .now open original apk file with 7zip or winrar and drag and drop
META-INF and resource files there give the compression level as (store) and sign it(important)
step-4(sign)
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 xxxxxxx.apk xxxxxxx_signed.apk
step-5(zipalign)
zipalign -fv 4 xxxxxxxx.apk xxxxxxxx-new.apk
to zip align you must install android sdk software in that go to tools/ there you search for (draw9patch.bat) and (zipalign.exe)
copy that two files and paste in C:\windows\paste it
hit thanks if i helped

Ok, follow this steps:
1. Have you installed the latest java jdk and jre?
2. Have you download the latest android sdk?
3. Download the platform tools in android sdk. The latest tools + the one from build 17 or 19. I dont know for sure.
4. Go to the folder platform tools and there should be aapt.exe. copy this to your apktool folder. The only files there should be are the .exe .jar and .bat files.
Make sure there are no spaces in the names of folders.
Added: this thread should actually go to Q&A

i have everything i am able to recompile and decompile everythin but this doesnt get compiled

Well as i see in your command you are using "b" wich means that you are recompiling.
If you want to edit framework-res.apk you need to install it firts by running the command: apktool if framework-res.apk. then decompile: apktool d framework-res.apk.then modify your framework. THEN, at last, run: apktool b framework-res, Without .apk. Now it is finished.
If it still doesn't work you have to try an other aapt.exe.
