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...
W: D:\xxx\AndroidManifest.xml:15: Tag <uses-permission> attribute name has invalid character ' '.
brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = 1): [C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\Temp\brut_util_Jar_2200487015856364895.tmp, p, --forced-package-id, 127, --min-sdk-version, 19, --target-sdk-version, 28, --version-code, 19227, --version-name, 4.1.1, --no-version-vectors, -F, C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\Temp\APKTOOL3877124333918122178.tmp, -e, C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\Temp\APKTOOL2736431752124554942.tmp, -0, arsc, -I, C:\Users\evildog1\AppData\Local\apktool\framework\1.apk, -S, D:\xxx\res, -M, D:\xxx\AndroidManifest.xml]
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)
Errors list:
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

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.

Anyone know anything about this?

Works perfectly fine for me...
Sent from my Liberty using XDA
what version of apktool are you using
Newest, I believe
Sent from my Liberty using XDA
yeah this ones tricky...
lets call one oldapktool.jar and one apktool.jar
get in a directory with oldapktool.jar and framework-res.apk
rename oldapktool.jar to apktool.jar
install ur framework "apktool if framework-res.apk"
decompile ur framework "apktool d framework-res.apk"
????
overwrite apktool.jar with newer one (its 1.4.3)
compile ur framework "apktool b framework-res"
dont ask me why the older one does it. i have too many copies of apktool and aapt that i have to mix and match to take apart and put togeather apks.
still not working and aapt is there and the path is set right dont get it

so forget the aapt.exe and .bat from the zip i gave you.
for me its defaulting to the one in my system32 dir which is the latest from the android sdk. dont use any of the aapt from apktool. update your aapt via android sdk (for me its using sdk manager.exe which grabs all the sdk tools, not sure on ubnix)
then try it again

It's weird it works for any other file in the rom except for this 1
compile with 1.4.3 and decompile with 1.4.2
i havent been able to decompile crap...

did you delete classes.dex before decompiling?
hello,
To anyone who has decompiled and recompiled SystemUI in apktool, please help. Sorry if this is noobish or if I'm being a fool and making a stupid mistake but I can't seem to figure this out. Heres what I did:
>1) copied apktool to C:\apktool
>2) replaced aapt with mine from sdk (tried without replacing too(aapt is from api revision 10))
>3) in command prompt typed: apktool d SystemUI.apk
>4)

WHY
Help please.
First off, I use APK Manager, so... you may want to try that. But, you need to set your framework for the apktool. Try this:
Put copies of framework-res, blur-res, moto-res, and SystemUI apks in the folder with apktool.
Then open the command prompt on that folder (just right-click, or hold shift and right-click on the folder and choose "open command prompt here").
In the command prompt, type the following for all four apks that you copied, hitting enter after each entry:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if blur-res.apk ...
That should let you de/recompile apks like SystemUI and Settings. If you're getting compiling errors - that could be a number of things - check the log - usually a broken .9.png - but that's a whole 'nother story or tutorial..
Good luck!

Check the log.txt file and look for your most recent timestamp. It should tell you exactly what's wrong. For example (from one of my recent simple stupid errors - 9patch file, of course):

found on internet tht apktool 1.4.3 has error where is does bad decompile sometimes so i deleted the SystemUI folder(I copied my changes first), then I re-decompiled and pasted into new file. Compiled like a charm.
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.

A bit help........
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.

UPDATE:
This app is now obsolete as there is now a workaround to re-enable ADB using WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor.
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this script is to patch new versions of WhatsApp so the ADB backup method will continue to function.
This will allow apps such as Helium or Crypt Key File Extractors to continue backing up WhatsApp data over the ADB.
PREREQUISITES:
O/S: Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1
Java - If not installed: Download Java
Old WhatsApp MUST be removed from your device
INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract WhatsAppADBPatch.zip maintaining the directory structure.
Download latest WhatsApp.apk from: https://www.whatsapp.com/android/
Copy WhatsApp.apk into the same directory as ADBPatch.bat.
Drag WhatsApp.apk onto ADBPatch.bat.
Install the created WhatsApp_Patched.apk on your android device.

I think you are running WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor and not WhatsApp ADB Patch?
In any case your issue is because the latest version of WhatsApp blocks adb which is why this thread exists.

Double check that you have installed the patched apk. If still no joy try using WhatsApp-Key-DB-Extractor which some people have more success with.
Also, remember to take a manual backup of your whatsapp database after you install whatsapp (this process creates the crypt key). Another thing you could try is simply install an older official version of whatsapp that do not block adb and run the key extractor on the older version. Once you have the key you can then upgrade to the new version. Your key will stay the same.
I am getting error when tried to install whatsapp after the patch.
It seems like client has been updated please install the version from playstore. Whatsapp not letting me to activate.
Thanks,

Hello everyone. first of all apologize for my English, I speak very little English ^^'. I'm a new user in XDA developers.
I used the patch and it has worked perfectly.
I have also installed and working without error. Thanks for your post ^^
I have android 4.2.1 Jelly bean and I'm root.
Thanks
Hey, I just came across an interesting issue when trying to install the patched apk - when verifying my number whatsapp gave me an error message saying that the version of whatsapp I was trying to install had been modified. Is there a work-around for this?
So annoying, why do they make it so hard for us to read our whatsapp messages on our PCs?!
Same as iceiceicex here.
Moreover, when I installed the older version, should I need to initialize/activate/register it first?
If I don't initialize/activate/register it first, the key extract replied that something like the path not found....
If I try to initialize/activate/register it first, it requires me to update to the latest version first....
As a result, I can't get the key in any ways....

Most likely as needed the latest version of apktool. I have updated the zip file.

Would it be possible for the OP to atleast mention a version number. Just writing latest is vague. Being specific would be very kind.

The patch is a wrapper for apktool so is therefore independent of any WhatsApp version numbers (the version is irrelevant). If it breaks then you will need to replace apktool.jar with the latest version. I have just updated the zip file in the first post.
Patch Whatsapp
Hello guys,
I’m tryin’ to patch the latest Whatsapp version (2.12.30) using WhatsAppADBPatch.zip (which was updated a few hours ago by TripCode).
However an error is displayed during the patching process:
Building resources... :\Users\alex\Downloads\WhatsAppADBPatch\WhatsApp\res\layout-v16\activity_corr tpt_installation.xml:7: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'fontF mily' in package
I should mention that I have installed the latest Java version and tried this procedure on 2 different PCs (with W7 & W8).
Is there someone who has successfully patched this Whatsapp version?
If the answer is no then I will be very grateful if anyone of you can attach a patched Whatsapp version higher than 2.11.481 (this version will be outdated in a few days).
Thank you in advance!
Thanks for the useful pos

UPDATE:
This app is now obsolete as there is now a workaround to re-enable ADB using WhatsApp Key/DB Extractor.
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this script is to patch new versions of WhatsApp so the ADB backup method will continue to function.
This will allow apps such as Helium or Crypt Key File Extractors to continue backing up WhatsApp data over the ADB.
PREREQUISITES:
O/S: Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1
Java - If not installed: Download Java
Old WhatsApp MUST be removed from your device
INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract WhatsAppADBPatch.zip maintaining the directory structure.
Download latest WhatsApp.apk from: https://www.whatsapp.com/android/
Copy WhatsApp.apk into the same directory as ADBPatch.bat.
Drag WhatsApp.apk onto ADBPatch.bat.
Install the created WhatsApp_Patched.apk on your android device.
