Xda has tutorials how to decompile the framework and how to theme it. You need the apktool or something similar to decompile the apps for example the framework or launcher.

(Q) how to compile and decompile apk???

There is so many guides in xda forum about compiling and decompiling apk.. but none of that working 100% easy way.. i tried apktool, apkmulti tool, Virtuous Ten Studio (VTS) and some other tool... developers please give a link.. or guide me how to decompile and compile an apk easy steps..

Here is the link of apktool which runs straight on your phone http://code.google.com/p/apktool/downloads/list, download the apktool4.1_armhf.zip for faster decompiling and reompiling

It´s simply...you have to use apktool to smali/baksmali the framework,jar / services.jar etc to unify the jar code of both roms in one jar

while porting with patchrom i get old_smali,new_smali,dst_smali_orig,dst_smali_patched:,reject.in temp folder
now i have to compare and patch smali code.now which folders i need to use to compare and patch smali files.

The easier method is compile the zip without modify the smali and fix it after if there is some error .The common error in patchrom its only the RIL

Hope porting will soon complete

use
gingerbread/ics/jb 1.5.2
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
jb/kitkat/lolipop apktool rc3
https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads
use correct framework-res
plus any other framework eg tw-framework

Use Advanced APK Tools for decompiling the APK files and you can also use the Attached Dex Editor to edit classes.dex files.....
Advanced APK tools is specially made for Xperia devicex. (use your "framework-res.apk" to install firmware in Advanced APK Tools)
(Drag and drop classes.dex in "Quick-Baksmali.cmd" to decompile and drag and drop the output folder is "Quick-Smali.cmd" to recompile.

[HELP] JAVA problem

Hello everyone,
I have some problems with the tool to decompile the apk. I wanted to apply these two guides:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo.../mod-3-power-menu-stock-5-0-1-deodex-t2997128
But I get this when I start decompilation:

Some help / suggestions?

Which apk decompiler do you use ? The output said the decompiler could not read / decompile the arsc file from your apk

I use apkstudio-2.0.3b-windows, systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk come from Android M

As far as I know, Android M is still unsupported for such operation (decompiling apk, etc) so you might want to wait until the decompiler become compatible with M releases
