Hi,
first of all sorry for posting in a new thread, but I'm not allowed to post in apktool-thread (to few postings).
I'm trying to edit permissions of apk's with apktool.
Code:
C:\temp\android\apktool>apktool d -s -f "n:\Cut the Rope - Android\cut-the-rope.apk" test
I: Copying raw classes.dex file...
I: Loading resource table...
I: Loaded.
I: Loading resource table from file: C:\Users\Carsten\apktool\framework\1.apk
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Decoding values*/* XMLs...
I: Done.
I: Copying assets and libs...
No, errors.
I reassemble it unmodified.
Code:
C:\temp\android\apktool>apktool b test test.apk
I: Copying classes.dex file...
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Copying libs...
I: Building apk file...
No, errors.
Installing the file
Code:
F:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb install c:test.apk
2327 KB/s (2931257 bytes in 1.230s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/c:test.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
gives an error.
Code:
$logcat *:e
/PackageParser( 460): Package com.feelingtouch.physical has no certificates at entry assets/font/Plok.ttf; ignoring!
Any ideas what's wrong?
greetings
Carsten
found the solution. All packages have to be signed, even if they are installed via adb.
Debug test signing is enough:
Code:
jarsigner -verbose -keystore C:\Users\Carsten\.android\debug.keystore -storepass android c:test.apk androiddebugkey
While trying to find any hidden features Samsung may have kept hidden in the stock ROM for my Galaxy Ace II X (GT-S7560M), I found some smali code for the lockscreen options, that removed the option to toggle the ripple effect! If you don`t know what the ripple effect is, view this video. It replaces the stock Samsung slide unlock with what looks like a body of water. When you touch the screen, it makes a ripple in the water. Anyways, on to the mod.
I do not know if this mod will work on other Samsung ICS ROMs. All this mod does is make the option appear, by deleting a line of code (that makes the toggle not there). You can be on either an odexed or deodexed ROM, but the SecSettings.apk should be from a deodexed ROM, to make the process a lot easier. You can reodex the SecSettings.apk easily using this app. I`m assuming that you know the basics of decompiling and recompiling .apk files. I am in no way responsible for any damage done to your hardware. Let`s start:
--> Decompile SecSettings.apk (I use apktool)
--> Navigate to /smali/com/android/settings
--> Open LockScreenSettings.smali with your preferred text editor (I use Notepad++)
--> Search `mRippleEffect`, and search until you find the line with `mRippleEffect` that is above a line with the phrase `removePreference` in it.
--> Remove 4 lines - that `removePreference` line, and the 3 lines above it.
--> Save, recompile, push to /system/app/.
--> Decompile framework-res.apk
--> Navigate to /res/values
--> Open bools.xml
--> Search `config_isWaterRippleEnabled`
--> Change value from `false` to `true`
--> Save, recompile, push to /system/framework/
--> Change the permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--)
--> Reboot, and enjoy!
An example of which lines to remove (taken from my SecSettings.apk, so code may differ slightly):
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0}, Lcom/android/settings/LockScreenSettings;->getPreferenceScreen()Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;
move-result-object v5
iget-object v8, p0, Lcom/android/settings/LockScreenSettings;->mRippleEffect:Landroid/preference/CheckBoxPreference;
invoke-virtual {v5, v8}, Landroid/preference/PreferenceScreen;->removePreference(Landroid/preference/Preference;)Z
You should find the option to toggle the ripple lockscreen under Security > Lock screen options. Make sure that swipe unlock is enabled so you can access the Lock screen options.
You can also enable some other hidden lockscreen settings (like the Information Ticker, Camera Quick Access, Wakeup Command which requires S Voice, et cetera depending on whether or not Samsung has chosen to include certain features in the ROM. I can`t guarantee that there`ll be no bugs if you`re trying to enable another hidden option) by following this general method (of deleting code that is telling the device to hide the option). If you have any problems, questions, or comments, post them here! If you choose to include this mod in your ROM, please give me some thanks!
Can u tell me what is size of apk u got after recompiling.I got both apk are less in size by 6 mb than stock one.thanks

There isn't a specific size, but it should be close to the size of the original apk. Have you used apktool before? You have to replace the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder with the ones from the original apk in this case. Make a backup of your stock ROM in case you get into a bootloop when you push the two modified apks to their respective locations. Set their permissions as rw-r-r (chmod 0644). If you still have problems afterwards, let me know and I'll willingly help you out.

The most important tool in Android development has by far got to be reading error messages/logcat. Paste the complete wall of text from when you recompile with apktool. Also, which apk is the one that're you're having issues with? framework-res.apk or SecSettings.apk? And before you decompile either, you have to "apktool if" (command to install a framework) framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk (found under /system/framework/), with a path that directs apktool to the apk.

you got to edit the .bat of modtool to get the apks signed
it is explained in a post in the modtool thread search for /%apk%/
as i am lazy i put the signed apks in the zip of pmp_u_5.7.4 update package (replaced them)

Hey, trying hard to port CM 11 to Galaxy S Duos. Just need the Network working and dual-SIM... Further details are HERE. JUST take a look
@Codename13 So I'm trying to re-enable it with a GT S7560M like you have, however, when opening LockScreenSettings.smali, there are no instances of mRippleEffect in the file. I'm using this method of extracting the files from the APK, what am I doing wrong?

A. Where'd you get the files from? Mod Pack II X has this already, so if the files are from there then that's why you can't find mRippleEffect instances.
B. Did you properly import the framework-res and the twframework-res with the decompiler tool?

A. I took the files directly from my phone. I'm on stock, without Mod Pack II X installed.
B. The instructions there said the TW framework to import was "framework_Res.apk", however it's different on my device (framework-res.apk) so I didn't. I'll try importing that one and re-decompile it and see how it goes.
I'm using android 4.3 stock version of framework-res.apk to decompile Settings.apk but Apktool 1.5.2 & Apktool 2.0 beta are giving me this error :
"Can't find framework resources for package of id: 2. You must install proper framework files, see project website for more info."
any help ?
Found the Problem & fixed apktool
apparently I needed to install SemcGenericUxpRes.apk before decompiling the Settings.apk file, another problem presented itself at this point..
installing SemcGenericUxpRes.apk using apktool 2.0 beta 7 resulted an error :

Hello, I'm posting that thread because I need help to compile the Apktool JAR file into a Linux binary.
I need to compile it into a binary because my VPS can't run Java, when running Java, there is a lot of problems, maybe that because my portable Java installation is wrong, I dont know.
(my VPS provider dont provide Java and has disabled tools like APT, YUM, PACMAN, SNAP or DPKG...)
I thought it could be a better idea to compile the Apktool JAR file into a native Linux binary, and I've done it, but there is a problem in the binary.
Since my server is on Linux x86_64 (Unknown distribution) and my PC is on Linux x86_64 (MX Linux, Debian-based), it could work.
After a lot of searching, I finally installed GraalVM Native Image and made a command to compile the JAR file into a binary.
And after 15 minutes on my (bad) computer it generated a Linux binary file, but when trying to decompile an APK on my computer with it, it gaves:
$ ./apktool d myapp.apk -f
I: Using Apktool 2.7.0 on myapp.apk
I: Loading resource table...

But if on my computer I run the same command but with the JAR file, it gaves:
$ java -jar apktool.jar d myapp.apk -f
I: Using Apktool 2.7.0 on myapp.apk
I: Loading resource table...

(so it works on the same APK with the JAR file but not with the binary)
In this message, there will be the binary I've compiled. (for Linux x86_64 only)
Please note that I'm new to XDA Developers, but also to Java and GraalVM Native Image: I never touched one single line of Java code.
I made Python programms, but I never made any Java code. And I discovered GraalVM yesterday.
Can someone help me please ?
And, it is possible that I have problems with APK frameworks when running the binary on my server ?
I can only access to files under my home directory, will I need to install frameworks manually in an "apktool" directory on my home directory ?
Thanks in advance, HGStyleOfficial (my real nickname is HGStyle but it was allready taken on the forum by a random guy registered in 2010 and who didnt had many activities on the forum...)
