Hello! I'm new to the forum and a casual android modder. I've really enjoyed digging into the Android world and have learned a lot from the forum. I was working with apktool and ran into a bit of a problem. I searched and found a post indicating that the environmental variables had to be tweaked which I did but this did not resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
-Adam

I also need some help with apktool. I'm trying to get into changing xml files on my Droid X. I've been able to successfully use the tool to decode apk files but i've heard that you can use it to decode xml files. Every time I try to do that though I get an error.
Included is a capture of the code I type in and the erros i'm getting with the xml file. I am trying to manipulate the simple eri.xml file that Verizon uses.
@adam-c
Could you upload original apk and zipped dir with decoded app? What is in these drawable-mdpi/status_bar_header_background.9.png, etc. files in decoded app? Are there both status_bar_header_background.9.png and status_bar_header_background.png (without ".9") files, but first one is empty or what?
@homes315
For now you can't decode single xml file - decode whole apk instead.
I have been searching for two days, and have tried everything I could find to figure this out, to no avail.
Could someone please help me get the apktool working on my computer?
when I enter apktool I get:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/object
From what I can tell I have my CLASSPATH and PATH set up correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I am running Windows 7 64bit
Hey guys Tanvir here,As the thread title says I am modifing the nougat touchwiz launcher using Apktool 2.2.2.
here are the steps i'm doing:
1. Modified the (res/values/dimens.xml) file and edited the size of the icon labels of 4x4 grid and resize the icon 48.0dp to 55.0dp of 4x5 grid.
2. Recompiled it.
3. Signed it with (SignApk) don't remember where i downloaded from.
4. Copied modded signed file to (system/Priv-app/TouchWizHome_2016C) and set right permissions (rw-r-r) using root explorer and rebooted device.
After reboot getting fc (TouchWizHome has stopped).
What excatly I want to modify?
Reduce the size of labels of 4x4 grid size.
Increase the size of icons but not label size of 4x5 grid size.
And and make grid 5x5 to grid size of 4x6 with smaller label size.
Experts here please help me.

Maybe they can help you to figure out your issue or you can provide your additional information on one of them to further help with resolving this issue.
Good Luck!

Thanks, I found a solution by copying the files that I edited to the original apk using 7zip.
As I'm no longer modding, this thread will not be updated anymore. Please refer to apktool issues https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues?q=is:issue++ and discussions https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/discussions for latest infomation
Since many got apktool.jar errors and don't know how to search or solve themself, I decided to explain and provide solutions here with links to Github. I have a friend who sometime can help me with this.
I will do my best to get much info. Feel free to post your thoughts
Know your error:
There’s a wide range of error messages you may encounter when decompiling and compiling your app. Depending on the kind of error you encounter, apktool.jar will always display the error message. Spotting error messages is easy
For example this log:
Code:
I: Using Apktool 2.4.1
I: Smaling smali folder into classes.dex...
I: Smaling smali_classes2 folder into classes2.dex...
I: Building resources...

If you think could not exec is your error, it's actually not, the real error is actually a 'warning'
Code:
W: D:\APK Easy Tool\1-Decompiled APKs\xxx\AndroidManifest.xml:15: Tag <uses-permission> attribute name has invalid character ' '
The good thing it tells you which line it occured AndroidManifest.xml:15:. it's line 15 in AndroidManifest.xml
This was caused by a space in a permission tag. Removing it will fix the compiling error

It's not always a simple fix. This always depending
Check the APK file:
Sometimes APK is obfuscated in many ways.
Open the APK using 7-zip and WinRar and see if the first classes.dex is smaller than 500 KB or way bigger than 10 MB. If so, it a sign it's encrypted. Decompiling and compiling the big dex file will result in a smaller size and it will fail to decrypt due to missing encrypted block
Decompile and check if smali files and codes are obfuscated. This is an example of Netflix app that is obfuscated
Don't ask me how to break protected APK, I'm not a reverser so I can't help you with it.
Troubleshooting:
Sometime those troubleshooting tricks helps fixing errors. Please try one or more of the following below
- If you are using any 3rd party GUI tools, please try the actual apktool.jar with CMD first
- Use latest version of apktool.jar: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/ and test
- If you are using latest version, try use older version of apktool.jar. Sometimes it can mitigate the issue
- Clear framework apktool empty-framework-dir --force and decompile the APK again.
- Decompile APK with --only-main-classes (Only disasemble dex classes in root (classes[0-9].dex). Prevents disasemble dex from assets folder) (apktool 2.4.1 and up only)
- Decompile APK with --no-res if you are only editing Java (smali) (--no-res will prevent the decompile of resources. This keeps the resources.arsc intact without any decode.)
- Decompile APK with --no-src if you are only editing the resources (xml) (--no-src will prevent the disassembly of the dex file(s). This keeps the apk dex file(s) and simply moves it during build.)
- Compile with --use-aapt2 (Use the aapt2 binary instead of appt)

Tip: Press CTRL + F and find the words
If there is no error you are looking for, search it on following Github issue pages
Apktool: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues
Baksmali/smali: https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/issues
Deompile errors:
* Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException (XML related)
This is an issue with apktool 2.4.1. Downgrade to 2.4.0 or below (2.3.4 is better)
* Exception in thread "main" org.jf.dexlib2.dexbacked.DexBackedDexFile$NotADexFile: Not a valid dex magic value: (xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx)
Rare issue, it usally caused if it tries to decompile encrypted dex from assets folder
Decompile APK with --only-main-classes
* Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.DirectoryException: Error copying file: res
This is a trick to prevent decompiling on Windows. Open the APK file using 7zip or Winrar and delete the unnamed file from res folder
Or use Mac/Linux until then
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1460
* Invalid debug offset
These are legitimate warnings about inconsistencies in the dex file. The invalid debug offset is otherwise ignored and the classes are successfully disassembled.
Compile errors:
* brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = -1073741515)
This was an issue with Java 8 32-bit on Apktool 2.4.0. Install 64-bit of Java or switch to other version
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2141
* Cant find 9patch chunk in file: (...). Renaming it to *.png.
APK is Obfuscated
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81088145&postcount=619
* Cannot run program "aapt": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
Not a bug. This means the default application that is copied to tmp and executed, could not be done. Therefore it relied on the aapt binary being accessible in the $PATH variable.
* Class (...) has already been interned
Decompile APK with --only-main-classes (apktool 2.4.1 and up only)
* Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.PathNotExist: apktool.yml
apktool.yml does not exist, because APK did not decompiled completely. Decompile again
* Float types not allowed
Remove the decimal from version number maybe?
Reported issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82840671&postcount=699
* Invalid resource directory name
Currently unknown. Try clear framework if you don't work with system apps
* Invalid file name: must contain only (...). Ignoring...
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2282
* JAXP 1.5 Support is required to validate XML
Update apktool.jar to the latest version
* No resource identifier found for attribute 'isSplitRequired' in package 'android'
Split APK is not supported yet. See https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2218
If you are following some tutorials how to merge split apks into one, then remove the attribute android:isSplitRequired="true" from AndroidManifest.xml, save and compile again
* No resource identifier found for attribute (...) in package (...)
There are many reasons why. Please refer to these issues for more infomation: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues?q=No+resource+identifier+found+for+attribute+
Try clear framework if you don't work with system apps
Sometimes, removing the attribute will fix the error and the app would run fine without it. Always test if the app is working fine or not
* No resource found that matches the given name
There are many reasons why. This is not always easy to fix
See issues
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2365
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2362
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2339
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2422
Try clear framework if you don't work with system apps
If you are working with system apps, you may need framework installed.
* Tag (...) missing required attribute name.
Not an easy fix, but you can try --use-aapt2 or don't decode resources (-r, --no-res) if you don't need
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1880
Tag <uses-permission> attribute name has invalid character ' '
This was caused by a space in an attribute name. Removing it will fix the compiling error
Example, change:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.finsky.permission.CHECK_LICENSE "/>
to
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.finsky.permission.CHECK_LICENSE"/>
* Unsupported res type name for bags
See: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1719
* Unsigned short value out of range: 65536
You have too many methods. The method index can't fit into an unsigned 16-bit value each dex
Simply move your codes to smali_classes(X) or create new one. For example if smali_classes2 is the latest, move code to smali_classes3

Sounds like the app has a protection against tampering. I cannot help with that

I believe it has been fixed https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/pull/2650
Try using latest commit of apktool.jar (Requires Github account to download) https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/actions/runs/1712896706

When you write:
"Sometimes, removing the attribute will fix the error and the app would run fine without it. Always test if the app is working fine or not"
where i can do it, removing the attribute ?

Sorry, didn't saw this post. I think this is a feature. You should contact iBotPeaches

It can't be a feature. SystemUI.apk won't work without res/**.xml-v??
When I change the Minimum SDK Version using ApkTool. The apk it's Crashing.
Just a heads-up.
If you like modifying Android core files (like framework.jar) on Android 10 or greater (API 29+) using apktool 2.6.1 it's not going to work so nicely even if it doesn't bomb on an error.
Code:
Error occurred while disassembling class Landroid.util.proto.HapiProto; - skipping class
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 6
at org.jf.dexlib2.HiddenApiRestriction.getAllFlags(HiddenApiRestriction.java:108)
It will make a mish-mash of the new hidden API modifiers (whitelist, greylist, greylist-max-o...)
@iBotPeaches has this already in sight and is trying to resolve it.
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2918
On a bit of a tangent, in the interim I tried the "nuclear option".
I was working on a framework.jar and couldn't "round-trip" it, so I edited out all the hidden API modifiers.
It builds fine, but the logcat was a train wreck.
Anybody know why?
Edit: I gave up on nuking all hidden API modifiers.
apktool d works fine so I can disassemble at least, but I don't think there are any options to show the file addresses of the instructions.
So I wrote a work-in-progress to disassemble with file addresses:
Code:
C:\>dexdump classes.dex /cKeyboardEntryMap /mgenerateMap
KeyboardEntryMap
002eebec generateMap
002eebfc const-string/jumbo
002eec02 invoke-static
002eec08 move-result-object
...
002eec62 invoke-interface
002eec68 goto
002eec6a return-void
Then I just need some judicious hex editing to nops or return-void.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class brut.androlib.res.data.value.ResStringValue cannot be cast to class brut.androlib.res.data.value.ResIntValue (brut.
androlib.res.data.value.ResStringValue and brut.androlib.res.data.value.ResIntValue are in unnamed module of loader 'app')
Anyone know anything about this?
