So, do you have the Android SDK installed? And Java? If no, then pls install these first. If yes, then search this thread for "environment variables". You just need to add them to your path. If you're using Windows, this is done using environment variables and adding it to your path. It's really easy. Here's something I posted about 6 pages back:

Here is the excerpt of the Android SDK from my path: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\

Here's my java path for you to reference: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\

These may be different for you, depending on what you called your SDK and java installation.

Hey

This is my 2nd time attempting to use this tool, last time was about a year ago, and I'm now getting the exact same error I was stuck on last time.

My APK's always end up with incorrect folder structure.
The root of the original APK contains the usual AndroidManifest.xml, res, assets and more, but in my new APK, zipped with this tool, contains all of that inside a "projects" folder. This results in an error when trying to install it:

file 'place-apk-here-for-modding/signedcom.mint-2.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml

I was attempting to follow the instructions from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8450650&postcount=25

although I have not yet made any actual changes to the images, I'm just trying to get the workflow down first.

Age of zombies modding

I want to mod Age of Zombies so I can increase the ammo of weapons and the rate of fire. I came across this program and thought it would do the trick.

Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to do this please? Google doesnt help for a can of beans and the search feature here doesnt really help much either.

Ive found the file i want to mod (common0_weapons.xml in the assets\common0\xml\) but im pretty much stuck from there (sorry I'm new to modding apks :()

Im using Windows Version 1.0.2

Hi guys,

I'm getting a decent amount of errors just trying to decompile a framework-res.apk. I have a folder set up with apktool, the .apk, and it also has adb in it. I have the SDK all set up and installed also.

When I run the script I get the:

Code: 
Adb was not found, you will not be able to manipulate the files on your phone
Press any key to continue . . .

I hit enter and set the current project. When I go to decompile with option 9, I get an error that tells me to look at the log file:

Code:

I can't actually open the log file using option 24 because Windows gives me this error:

Code: 
Windows cannot find 'signer'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again.

Any help would be hot. I'm just starting to try to get involved in some ROM theming just for fun and I've banging my head against the wall on this one for a couple days now.

Thanks

You need to set your apkmanager to your paths .
How ? you ask .
Search this thread on how to .I have wrote it more than once and many others .

Or

Check this op of this thread

put a copy of your framework-res into the other folder .

open a command prompt to that folder (hold shift right click ) if on windows 7/vista

enter this

java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk

then try using the tools


should only have to do it the once unless you change roms .ie ginger to ics

Now I deleted everything (sdktool, Java developer, Java and apkmanager) to do a very very clean install because the problem is in my computer sure (old Java version installed :confused: or not correct path...and after I check if in the path there's a space and I change it with _)
I want only a center clock in my ics oxygen AOSP rom and I have to do it, is a challenge for me ;).

Thanks bro for your support and for your fantastic work ;)

    So i have written a simple script to ease the process of editing apks. Got a lot of downloads so thought its in demand :rolleyes:

    Whether you're doing basic image editing or editing the smali or xml files, on average u have to use (Brut.all or JF's smali/baksmali) awesome tool to extract the apk, edit it, then sign the apk and then adb push/install it. This process is quite tiresome if you are testing a method that needs fine tweaking.

    This script should make the process a LOT smoother.
    Theres an option of compiling/signing/installing all in one step :)

    Thanks:
    Goes to Brut.all for his awesome tool.
    Goes to JF for ofcourse, smali/baksmali
    Goes to farmatito for porting this script to linux

    Features:
    - Extract, Zip apk's.
    - Optimize pngs (ignores .9.pngs)
    - Zipalign apks
    - Sign apks
    - Push to specific location on phone
    - Incorporates brut.all's apktool
    - Pull apk from phone into modding environment.
    - Batch optimize apk (Zipalign,optipng,or both)
    - Quick sign an apk (Batch mode supported)
    - Batch Ogg optimization
    - Compression level selector (monitor status above menu)
    - Batch install apk from script (option 16)
    - Logging on/off has been removed. Instead a log.txt is created which logs the activities of the script organized using time/date headers
    - User can change the max java heap size (only use if certain large apks get stuck when decompiling/compiling apks) (Option 19)
    - Improved syntax of questions/answers
    - Error detection. Checks if error occured anytime u perform a task, and reports it
    - Read log (Option 20)
    - U can now set this script as ur default application for apks. When u do, if u double click any apk it will install it for u.
    - Supports batch installation, so if u drag multiple apks into the script (not while its running) it will install them all for u. U can ofcourse drag a single apk as well
    - Added framework dependent decompiling (For non propietary rom apks). (Option 10). Checks whether the dependee apk u selected is correct.
    - Allows multiple projects to be modified, switch to and from.
    - Allows to modify system apk's using apktool but ensures maximum compatibility in terms of signature / manifest.xml
    - Stuff i forgot i guess :p

    Instructions (Windows):
    - Place apk in appropriate folder (Any filename will work, if running for first time folders will not be there, you must run and then the folders will be created)
    - Run script
    - Minimize the script
    - Edit files inside the project folder
    - Maximize the script

    Instructions (Linux):
    - Place apk in appropriate folder (Any filename will work, if running for first time folders will not be there, you must run and then the folders will be created)
    - Open terminal and change-directory to apkmanager (Easiest way is to type "cd ")
    - Chmod 755 Script.sh
    - Chmod 755 all files apps inside other folder (thanks for the tip bkmo ;) )
    - Run script by typing ./Script.sh
    - Minimize the script
    - Edit files inside the out folder
    - Maximize the script

    Requirements:
    Java
    Adb

    Future Improvements:
    - Manage multiple simultaneous apk edits (choose which apk to extract/build)
    - Option to optimize the apks
    - Option to adb push to user defined location
    - Other stuff i dont know yet




    Got problems ?

    1. Make sure your path has no spaces
    2. Your filename has no wierd characters
    3. Java/adb are in your path
    4. It's not a proprietary rom's apk (aka Sense,Motorola,Samsung) (If u are, then use option 11 and drag the required framework, eg com.htc.resources, twframework-res...etc)
    5. It's not a themed apk (if it is, expect .9 png errors, use as close to stock as possible)
    6. Look at the log to know whats happening
    7. If all else fails, post as much info as possible and we will try to assist you.

    No lol i have windows 7, java is just not in ur path.

    Right click my computer, click properties, advanced settings, environment variables, in bottom window scroll to PATH click and edit it, at the end add ;<path to ur bin folder of java>

    so mine looks like
    c:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Droid Explorer\SDK\tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\
