ok i am having a hard time figuring out how to get the autoapktool to baksmali my android.policy.jar. i keep getting this error:
[*] C:\xdaAutoAPKTool_V3.0.2\_Jar_Files\android.policy.jar
decompiling C:\xdaAutoAPKTool_V3.0.2\_Jar_Files\android.policy.jar...
'jar' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Can't find the file _JAR_FILES\android.policy.dex\classes.dex
if anyone could help me with this i would be appreciative. or if maybe you know a better program to use to accomplish this task. any help would be amazing.
By the looks of it your typing a wrong command here
paste the one you type here and we'll correct it.

When you installed apktool did you run the apktool if miui-framework-res.apk to install miui resources

No but it worked it still created the jar file that fixed my screen orientation problem with miui
Big thanks to you guys for helping me out!!!!
Ok I guess it's solved but here's a little tip.
It's telling you "could not find resources" because android.policy.jar doesn't have any resources. It's just a plain dex file and no resources.arsc nor res folder. So it's not a bug or failed compilation it's just a warning
Also on some apks it should be asking you for unknown resource all you have to do is isntall all the needed resource files and it should fix almost all common problems.
Here's a couple of frameworks you could install.
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
com.htc.resource.apk
framework-htc-res.apk
you could install it using
apktool if <framework file here>
for a list of commands just type "apktool"

Good idea!
Unfortunately, it has many errors. Hangs on this screen and stands:
same here!
It looks to me like you are violating the license of several tools you are including, you may want to fix that.
Go read what the apache and LPGL licenses say about redistributing in binary form.

Hi All,
Forgive me if this has been asked - searching XDA results in hundreds of spurious hit since the search tool does not appear to honor quotes in a search term (i.e., "encrypted apk"). My apologies for the choice of forums. I was not allowed to ask in the Android forums. Sorry about the perverted reference below. I'm not allowed to add references, either.
Android 4.1 allows encryption of an APK (see "App Encryption" at H T T P developer-dot-android-dot-com-slash-about-slash-versions-slash-jelly-bean-dot-html). What tools are folks using to decrypt the APK and get it ready for something like APKTOOL or Dex2Jar?

wtf with this?
You can view or decrypt the XML files of an Android APKfile with apktool.
Just copy the APK file also in that directory and run the following command in your command prompt:
Code:
apktool d HelloWorld.apk ./HelloWorld,
This will create and directory "HelloWorld"in your current directory. Inside it you can find the AndroidManifest.xmlfile in decrypted form and you can also find other XMLfiles inside the "HelloWorld/res/layout" directory.
Here HelloWorld.apk is yourAndroidAPKfile.
See the below screen shot for more information:

apktool development was abandoned some time ago. The last release built and offered for download is from December 2011 (https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list). I seriously doubt it can do anything with an Encrypted APK (a featured added in August 2012 with Jelly Bean).
apktools or smali/baksmali is broken with respect to debug information. apktools and smali debugging: https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=339. smali/baksmali debug issue (I should have filed it as a bug report): https://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=139.

Hi Guys,
I am trying to mod framework-res.apk from the Sky-ICS Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195) in order to get Bluetooth Tethering enabled.
All I have to do is mod the lines in array.xml from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25808002&postcount=114)
I pull framework-res.apk
I decompile the apk using Apk_Manager_ICS
I make my mods to res\values\arrays.xml
recompile
then I grab the resources.arsc from the new APK and add it into the original APK file using 7-zip in STORE mode
push it back to the skyrocket
adb shell in and reset permissions (chmod) to 644
reboot
Never ending Loop
Can someone please point me in the right direction
I've done / used every method to try and get framework-res.apk recompiled and working but no dice!!

Instead of copying the res file from the new apk to the original, copy the META-INF folder from the original to the new apk. The META-INF folder contains the signatures, just FYI. And next time, post things like this in the Q&A thread.

this tool works flawlessly on ICS. I had to replace the aapt file in the resources folder from the latest SDK, then recompiled with ease, zip, sign, enjoy.
HELP!!!
I think I have tried EVERY APKtool out there (I even built an XP machine to try them in), and i'm still not having luck. I dont know if its something that I'm doing wrong, but i'm all out of options.
I suspect that it may be something with the ROM because even after I restore the backed up, stock framework-res, it still bootloops.
Anyway, if someone can do me a huge favor, take the attached framework-res.apk and add the xml to the /res/values folder and send it back to me, that way I can test to see if its a problem with my system or the ROM
Thanks in Advanced!!

Yes I know, I then grab resources.arcs from the unsigned-framework-res.apk and copy it to the original framework-res.apk in store mode
push it to the device, set permissions, reboot...
bootloop
I really dont know how, but the Developer has been using Unsigned (missing META folder), I had to go all the way back to his original ROM and download and get the SIG from there.
Problem Solved.

Yes with option 5
Not to compete, but here's a more reusable script to zipalign any APKs...just place them in the folder named "Input", then run b-zipa.bat...they will be in "Output"...remember not to leave spaces between the names of the APKs..."b-zipa" actually means "Batch ZIPAlign", so you can place any number of APKs in "Input" and the script will zipalign them all...

It's hard to know quite what the problem is here as the screenshots are missing most of the error message. Including the first error, which is often the key to solving the problem.
By the looks of things though, I would say that you haven't added your png files. These error messages are all saying that you have a reference to image files in your xml..but no actual image files.
(Oh, and TMA isn't available on Linux...yet. But if the OP has access to a Windows PC, I can definitely suggest it!)

You should never modify the public.xml file...
I'll be honest, it's really hard to tell what's going just from screenshots of part of the error. Can you provide the entire error message please? And it would help if you're able to provide the screen output from when you decompiled as well.
What type of phone/rom are you using?
