Solution :
1. First Download the latest stable smali and baksmali .jar from here : https://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list
2. You smali and baksmali name should be in the format baksmali-x.x.x.jar and smali-x.x.x.jar ( x.x.x - version number for eg mine in 2.0.3)
3. Copy the baksmali-x.x.x.jar and smali-x.x.x.jar to
Code:
(Drive- which ever consists cygwin):\cygwin\home\(user :what even is your name)\kitchen\tools\deodex_files )
i.e copy the file to , under you cygwin folder -> home -> (you user name) -> kitchen -> tool -> deodex_files folder
4.Using notepad ++ , open use_this_version.txt in deodex_files folder replace the number whatever is there in the beginning with x.x.x - the
version of your latest smali and baksmali jar
5.Save it
6. Open Kitchen and try to deodex, it should work fine ...
SOME SOLUTION SCREEN SHOTS :
And i know i have made a typo - lastest for latest!
HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPS ​​

Thanks, I've been pulling my hair out trying to deodex my Rom. Running it all through now, hopefully this fixed it.

This worked perfectly, thank you so much.

Are there any other files you suggest updating from the stock kitchen to get it further up to date?
Just curious as we just got kitkat 4.4.2 and I was going to take a crack at it but want to make sure I get all the latest information.

I'm not sure if the OP updated anything else, but so far it works great for me with the updated smali/baksmali.
Edit: I did search the Web and found a newer aapt and used that too.

You should seriously check ArchiKitchen out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597220
Already has the updated files and supports KK too. Very cool.
Edit: And long time no see man. I see you posting here and there.

Yea, good to see you. I was told to try that kitchen too but I have a windows laptop and haven't had a chance to set up virtualbox.

I use vmware with ubuntu in a virtual session. Works well.

I'll look into it when I get a chance.

Not familiar with virtualbox but VMware recognizes the bootable OS cd and does an easy install for you of multiple operating systems. Its pretty slick.
Plus you can take snapshots of the OS so you can 'go back' easily in case you're testing something out and want to revert to an earlier build or whatever.

it depends... well .. i guess latest baksmali and smali jar support kitkat api ... so you should just upgrade to those... and the latest apktool jar... thats it i guess.. for deodexing....

It better to run Kitchen in Ubuntu /Linux Mint... much faster... VMware is way too slow... in linux based it uses SWAP very efficiently...

i know this is not the right forum for it, but does anyone know where i can edit the sense 3.0 skin for the htc evo 3d?
I have Rosie.apk in m10_files, how to set current project (0) ? what's needed to input ?

Drag m10 file (should be in rosie.apk\asset\??) out of rosie.apk and put into m10_files folder. Press 0 and select file followed by 1 to decode. To encode use 4.

Can you explain more about what you want exactly?
Ok...not very well informed on the APK and M10 conversion process, came across this M10 script, decompile, the files came out mirrored. Still need to learn a little more...LOL.
Anyway, I am trying to convert / extact the Doubleshot Sense 3 fusion_DS_v1.0.1.apk.zip file to get the Default Skin (blue highlights) to be an installable APK skin file for my Desire Z.
I have found the HTC Green to be not as attractive for me as the blue that TMOUS themes have, including the blue slected text, etc.
Any advice, insight, other stuff, heck do this and post the APK would be great.
See the file from Dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24558395/fusion_DS_v1.0.1.apk.zip
Thank in advance.
Man, I saw this thread a couple weeks ago, and spent an hour looking for it again today. This is great because I use ApkManager faithfully and don't necessarily like the m10editor.exe. Thank you for this wonderful script!

Hey guys! Here i made for you a C# program for ease of use in decompiling recompiling apks.
It has the option to sign the recently compiled apk or if option is unchecked, it will ask for you to select a new file to sigh, either zip or apk files can be signed!
Its pretty straight forward to use everything is at your finger tips!
To install, just extract the zip double click the installer and you'll be good to go!
Any feature requests/issues just let me know in this thread.
UPDATE: Added option to select jar files for editing
Added option to set "busy" window to back so its not always on top.

First of thanks alot for your effort in this great tool ,
im getting this in the log
"" 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file. ""
Awesome tool my friend keep up the good work :good:
Thanks for the tool, it's very easy to use but I am a real noob so I need some help in recompiling the APK.
I successfully decompiled the APK and made some changes which I wanted to in XML file.
But I don't know the procedure to recompile
Can someone tell the steps in brief?
Thanks!
Nice job on a GUI interface.
However, generates errors on de-compiling and will not create a re-compiled apk. Even without making changes.
Error log attached.
Files used SystemUI.apk and Framework.apk
Acer Iconia A701 system dump files. Stock 7.1.1 JB

Edit....... Never mind. Administrator rights....
Edit again..... framework worked ok,, but systemUI still goes nuts when decompiling and will not create new apk. same error.

[THEME][TOOL WIN][DEV & END-USER versions] The Dethumber™ Pro (as seen on TV)

Hi ALL
Just dropping this here to notice you all about this new dev tool. Just click the image above.
Nice regards.
.
This tool is for themers right? Or does it help us regular users too?
Oh ok, went to the actual link and read it. Sorry.
But wow, this will indeed be a great tool for other themers. Great great work sir!
Make it a paid app on Play, this is undoubtedly some serious hard work!
checked my Theme and found no thumb.db in it.(yes hidden files in OS are shown)
Why should I use this?
btw: the "vrtheme Flash" and the "Universal Flasher" ignores Files that dont exist.
so the thumb.db files should be skipped by flashing.
But thanks 4 your try to help

Sorry xxmrgreenxx ... didn't quite get you.
You are saying that the tool did not deleted the thumbs ?
You don't need to 'show' hidden files in order to the tool work properly.
If you previously setted up your Windows box to not create those files (as I always do) you do not need this tool.
It's is directed to those themers that do not are aware of the matter and release something like this:
ZIP size: 220 Mb
Extracted: 251 Mb
Thumbs.db: 165 files accounting for 168 Mb [ 67% ] !!!!!!

And befor packing the Theme.zip i clean up.
But your Idea is great. Keep on

As I do use only vrTheme, I can not verify that.
If possible, to help clarify the matter, could you proceed this experiment?
EDIT: obviously proceeding it using UFS.
Thanks a lot dude.

Experiment with "vrTheme Flash zip" puts the Thumb.db into SystemUi.apk.
This Version with Universal Flasher ignores the Thumb.db

Hi xxmrgreenxx
Thanks very much dude
I've detected what you've mentioned:
CLEAN_MORPHING=yes
But, let me propose the following scenario using UFS:
A themer wants to introduce a new set of battery icons, with 1% awareness ... ok ?
He will provide a new resources.arsc, the drawable xml's and all those additional batt icons (1, 2, 3 ...) that are needed to the job and, as so, he will have to set NO to that UFS flag. If there are ANY additional files they will be flashed too.
So UFS is 'safe' ONLY when CLEAN_MORPHING is set to YES ... right ?
Nice regards.
.
yes.
If there are no 1% Icons in your Rom you cant add them with "clean_morph/yes".

NodeJS with Chakra for Windows RT

Everything is in the title.
There wasn't too much effort needed to run this. Chakra and NodeJS are unmodified(Microsoft versions for Windows 10 IoT). The little bit of magic is in the DLL file. This has the big advantage of using a JIT
This is great, thanks! Tested it with a node github project I work on and seems to work great.

Npm works fine. Install it from source
I just used this to run a scaffolded express app and it seems to work great so I will get a lot of use out this. Any possibility of future updates or was this a specific version only which could be brought to rt?
Thanks
I have no idea what is this. Can someone explain this for the morons?
BR
It is a javascript scripting environment. Your programs are mostly console apps (no user interface), but you can run express to run web sites/apps.
It's like a super powerful powershell (unlike the limited one we have with rt)... but using javascript.
To get an overview of the landscape of functionality you might look at modules documentation here :

For the next version(Node v4), I need to have the ARM Chakra JS engine from Windows 10 th2(can be took from a Windows 10 Mobile or Windows 10 IoT Core system, I will try to port it soon)
(at the time that I published my NodeJS port, it was the latest version available with Chakra)
If its not too difficult, node v4 would be great since that is newly established long term support branch it should be compatible for a while. Now if only I could figure out how to 'install npm from source'... I might have to research that more this weekend.
Thanks

Download https://github.com/npm/npm/archive/master.zip , unpack it, and copy the NodeJS .exe, chakra.dll and api-ms-win-core-memory-l1-1-3.dll into it. You can then open a command prompt, and use node cli.js install <every package that you want>

That's too cool... thanks So many possibilities...
I ended up creating a directory, say c:\source\npm-master with the files in your download link (plus files in zip in first post), updated my path environment variable to point to it, and created an npm.bat within that pathed directory which looks something like :
Code:
node c:\source\npm-master\cli.js %*
now I can go into empty directory and npm init, npm install, etc
Node v4 ready
Here is Node v4.0 for kicks!
Wow, that was fast...
That node actually reports version 5.0.0, which is newer than 4.0.0 or the 0.12.7-4 version you originally posted. Honestly both builds are probably newer than what I am using on the desktop so these builds should last quite a while. I will probably keep both around and switch between them to see if any have issues.
Thanks!

I just used the latest Git tree
i've tried your method - it worked perfectly, thanks for that. The Master.zip is no longer avalible, so you must now download the older NODEJS 4.0 MSI for windows
https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.0.0/node-v4.0.0-x64.msi
install it on regular windows and copy the files to Surface RT and then replace the files node.exe etc.
i've managed to install older Version of node-red with npm ([email protected])

[Tool][Windows][Easy] Quick APK-Tool

krassermensch is pleased to present you his simplified version of APK-Tool:​Quick APK-Tool​
For most of you it might be not a big problem to simply decompile an APK-File thanks to Connor Tumbleson's APK-Tool which is used as base for this small tool. The advantage of this tool isn't huge but it'll probably save you lots of time.
Features:
the simplest way of decompiling
the simplest way of compiling
the simplest way of signing & zipaligning
==> the simplest way of working with apk files
Setup:
Just download the file from my GDrive and extract the zip to a folder. Furthermore make sure you installed Java on your computer.
==> done, yeah it's really that simple
If you don't know exactly how to work with this tool I'd recommend you to read the readme file in the downloaded package.
How this tool found its way to xda:
some months ago (the time I was using Windows) I wanted to materialize my spotify app a little bit. Decompiling, compiling, signing and zipaligning just took too much time so I decided to write a simple batch tool that does all of these operations as quick as possible. The result was the tool I'm presenting you today. Why npw, not earlier? Yeah, quite simple, I forgot this tool, but when I visited GDrive this morning I found this tool. Thinking that some of you might want to have something like that I've just updated to the latest APKTool version to provide you the latest features and compatibilities but that's it. Most probably I won't update this tool no more as I switched to Manjaro OS. If you share this project I'd like you to give credits to me: krassermensch. But now I wish y'all lots of fun using my tool:good:.

Everything I did is written in batch xD

I hide it as it annoyed me but yeah, there are really some cases when you need to see the log. I programmed it that it recognizes errors but not which one. Although it wouldn't be a huge task to show the log only when there are occuring errors. I just can't test changes if I do some as I don't have Windows no more. If you really need it I could borrow a Computer running windows and try to do what you're asking for...

Can you please tell me how you managed to materialize spotify.apk ? I want to change background of spotify app from black to white but I couldn't even decompile spotify.apk . I have installed java on my pc. It is strange because I can decompile other apk files but I can't decompile spotify.apk . When I use your tool , it gives me error saying that 'An error occured' BTW I have used couple of different spotify version but I didn't succeed. I think spotify.apk is protected for decompile. Thanks in advance.

My tool is a bit old. You have to update the apktool version inside of it to be able to decompile APKs compiled with the latest SDK tools. Just do that and retry after that. It should work with the latest Spotify APKs then...

I did what you say and downloaded apk tool 2.1.1. jar and changed it with yours but it gave the same error. I tried to decompile spotify.apk with only new apk tool to see what the error it gave and it gave the error in the below SS. What do I do wrong? Here the apk file I want to modify: https://mega.nz/#!F85z3IaL!iLeqUVre4Zz-pSBK0D4J-3osX4SZ0TDw0uYCdw2WYmI
Thanks

Thanks for your interest but I need to know something. Did you manage to decompile the apk I sent?
