decompiling C:\xdaAutoAPKTool_V3.0.2\_Jar_Files\android.policy.jar...

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"

[Plugin-Win] Add Android App Zipaligning To The Right-Click Context Menu

Hello xda members,
I would like to share with you this handy plugin I made for Windows base machine PC.. I called it Easy Android App Zipaligning..
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
By just right-click on any android app stored anywhere on your hard drive, then Choose Android App Zipaligning and that's all,, your app will be zipaligned.. :laugh:
Installation:
#Installer way
Installer package (for Windows 32-bit only): Just extract "Easy Zipalign x86.rar" file and you will have the installer package, just install it normally like any other installer package and you are done.
#Manual way
Manual (for Windows 64-bit or 32-bit): Just extract "Easy Zipalign x64.rar" file, copy the content of "01- Copy content to system32 folder" folder into:
Code:
C:\Windows\System32
then run the registry file "02-ZipAlignRegx86.reg" and accept any prompt message and you are done.
Credits:
Google for Android SDK.
Future development:
Please feel free to report anything or suggestion for further development. Also any developer can take the script and manipulate it as he/she wants and can even release an improved release based on this plugin (just some credits to me will be nice )
Cheers...

I was just looking for something like this. Thank you

Works great, thanks.

Is there any way to verify the zipalign work? I'm not doubting your skills, just curious.

yup.. if the app is not zipaligned and then zipaligned, there should be size different (even in byte level.!)

Zipalign only optimizes java classes source.. It will not optimize resources like images or compress the file..
RAM will depend on both source and resources optimization.

[Q] Why can't I recompile modified apk?

I am trying to add 1% battery mod to my ROM. I decompiled my SystemUI.apk perfectly with the latest version of apktool. I modified the files I needed then I went to recompile using
Code:
apktool b -f -d SystemUI.apk SystemUI-new.apk
Here's (poor) screenshots of my errors:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried manually installing apktool in /usr/local/bin and I also tried Apk-Multi-Tool version 2.0. I'm running the latest version of Mint (17 I believe) and everything is up to date, including Java JRE. I cannot find any related help on Google so any help that u can give is greatly appreciated. Thx

Say my name and I appear...
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?

Of course it's not easy, they need to be ported, need smali modification and other dependencies like permission and lib.

[*]ROM for your device provided by your manufacturer. You can download it from their website.
[*]Notepad ++

Lets get started ..
First of all download and extract the ROM files.

After doing that go to system>build.prop. Then edit it with Notepad++.
Then search for "ro.modversion=" and type the name for your rom and save the file. See image for details.
Next go to meteinf/com/google/android/updater-script,Only if you want to add your logo ie) in the form of keyboard symbols.Edit it with Notepad++
Then starting from the first line type ui_print(" "); ,and inside the " " symbol type the keyboard symbol that you want.
Now add this folder to zip ie) compress the files using 7zip.
Now if you want to change the default wallpaper with your wallpaper
Double click the zip file you created (Do not Extract)
Go to system >framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-nodpi>default_wallpaper.jpg (this will be the current wallpaer)
Rename your wallpaer to "default_wallpaper" and then drag it into the zip and replace it with the default one.
Then click back icon untill a message is displayed for confirming the change you made ,and click yes.:good:

Tanks..

What about Samsung ROMs? I think the procedure is a bit different with those tar.md5 firmwares. Can I simply repack the ROM as tar.md5 and flash it? Or is there something else?

Thanks a bunch, very nice tutorial indeed. A bit basic which is wonderful for those who just entered the scripting world in android.

True
Thanks for the information.

I will try this guide out

Is that really so easy ????
I mean, the developers (for example cyanogenmod) needs "a lot of time" to bring out a stable Version
Thanks ?

Thanks a lot, again thank you very much

Actually we are only adding new apps and our emblem in the rar file.. we are not making any changes in the codes as they are stock rom... if you want to make changes to the code you must have a deep knowledge about the programming
