Here are the latest files for apktool that I am using. Give them a try. I had same error when working on a systemui and these helped me to be able to decompile and compile okay.

as for your question: "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\apktool\f ramework\1.apk is that okay?" When I installed framework-res i get:
C:\android\apktool>apktool if framework-res.apk
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\John\apktool\framework\1.apk

maybe it is different in windows 8.

anyways here is the latest build for apktool:

View attachment apktoolcomplete.rar

Hope this helps :)

didn't work.. wth! I'm getting sick of this. I'm really starting to think it's because windows 8 installs the framework in system32. But how come no one have had this problem yet? I'm sure there are developers using windows8..

Just to make sure, you have Java JDK/JRE install also right? I thought of this after I went out. Not sure about anything to do with Win8, not interested in that at all :) I will poke around the S Advance forum see if anyone is using win8 and if they had troubles too.

Hope you get it straightened out... :good:

i was looking at your errors. when i decompile, i type:

apktool d systemui.apk systemui and it is decompiled in the systemui folder

then to build i type

apktool b systemui systemui1.apk

in your code you only type apktool b mms

what does it build it to?
that was only thing i could see that stood out... :confused:

Wish I could tell you. You should try it in win 7 I think. Win 8 maybe the culprit. not a lot of info about apktool trouble with win8 to be found...

    MODDED MMS.APK v1.5

    Comment: You might also like this Holo MMS mod, very very nice look: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948433

    This works on any ICS/JB(up to android 4.1).
    UPDATE [23-02-2013]: NOW WORKS ON ANDROID 4.2 JB! :D
    (some roms above 4.2 may not be compatible).

    This Mms.apk is the same as the stock one, except for the mods I applied. It is the most close to the stock Mms.apk, just with some better features! ;D

    DOWNLOAD:Check attachments for apk downloads.
    For the flashable CWM files go here (OUTDATED! v1.3 only): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29159192&postcount=318


    TUTORIAL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795451

    Features:

    - Inverted (optional): black background instead of white (check attachments to download the apk you want: inverted or non-inverted);

    - No MMS conversion: you can type very long messages and it won't automatically convert it to a MMS;

    - Unlimited Recipients list: you can now send your message to more than 20 people at the same time;

    - Original Time Stamps: this makes original time stamps setting actually work: it shows the exact sent time of received messages, not the moment when you actually receive it on your phone;

    - New Line Option: have you noticed that stupid ":)" key next to the space bar? Yeah, where the "new line" key should be? Google did it! But this mod changes that ":)" key to "new line" key as it should always be.

    - 160 characters capacity: 160 characters capacity per SMS for other languages other than English, and not 60-70. No more extra costs for longer messages!

    - Bigger Writing Window: if you notice, when you are typing long sms, you can only see 3 sentences of what you've typed. I've changed that value to 5 sentences and it feels much better. Now you can see 5 sentences of the message you're typing.

    - Emoji Support: a set of 471 nice emoticons.

    - Changed default android heart smiley: do you know that green smiley when you type '<3'? Removed that green android and replaced it with a neat heart (see screenshots).

    - Speech Bubbles: some nice balloons around the texts.

    - With/without Avatars: you can choose the version with avatar pics or the one without them.

    - With/without SGS III icons: the versions with this tag have the messaging app icon of the SGS III, as well as the smileys.

    - Pop-up notification: Enable this in settings. A pop-up will show up when a new message is received. You can reply right away.


    How to install:

    Using a file explorer:
    If you've downloaded the Mms_xxxx.apk:
    1. Use something like root explorer
    2. Go to /system/app and mount R/W
    3. Rename current 'Mms.apk' to 'Mms.apk.bak' (this is a backup)
    4. Copy the 'Mms_modded.apk' you downloaded to /system/app
    5. Rename 'Mms_modded.apk' to 'Mms.apk'
    6. Change 'Mms.apk' permissions to: rw-r--r--
    7. Mount R/O
    8. Reboot your phone.

    Via CWM:
    If you've downloaded the Mms_xxxx_CWM.zip, you can flash it through CWM:
    1. Install zip from sdcard
    2. choose zip from sdcard
    3. browse to the Mms_xxxx_CWM.zip
    4. yes
    5. reboot system now

    Hmm, i think i am stupid, but iphone inverted and avatar does not exist, right ?

    Hmm no there isn't :/ I didn't make such version. I think I'll stop answering requests because there's a lot of people asking for mods and I can't handle so much requests. I might make a guide on how to mod the apk, explaining each mods, and how to do them

    hey when do u upgrade your base ;) new features (translations, options to select the enter, send button. etc...)

    now you only have to invert and to add your themes :)
    some of your mods now in the base from cm9




    have a nice modding :)

    hi! there's no way I'm udating every single version again to use the recent base. I'm sorry, but that's just too much, because I would have to apply each mod specifically again. I think I'll make a guide. That way everyone will be able to apply the mods he/she wants
