Just to be sure, you're copying both the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from the unopened original apk to the built one in the binary folder, right?

See the guide in my sig for exact instructions that worked for me! :)

Man I can't thank you enough! I think the key was building, but making sure it doesn't sign anything(unchecking the box that says "sign output file via the following method" under Build when creating a new project)! Then transferring BOTH files from the original apk(using 7 zip to simply view the file contents) and pushing all to the phone via VTS. I tried at least 50 variations while trying to troubleshoot this, and was about to give up. You sir, have made my day! Thank you Diamondback for your help also and for creating and sharing such a great application!

It's all good; I'm glad it helped. Yeah, as Diamondback said, the current sign options don't seem to work with system apps. I had a similar stage of confusion, where I think I posted in about 15 threads, created my own thread, created a Stack Exchange question, and chatted more than a few times on Stack Exchange's chat and VTS' IRC about this issue.

I've never, seriously, never had an Android thing work right the first try, lol (whether rooting, editing APKs, de-odexing, smali editing, everything, lol!).

Ain't that the truth. It's definitely a constant learning experience, especially when you're figuring out how to do things on your own. Feels good when you finally get it though! I'll bask in my joy/relief for a bit more, then on to the next hurdle! Thanks again!

Have you managed to square this away?


Code: 
ApkTool.ExecuteAPKTool        Can't find Java Binary!  Aborting apktool. d:\Java\jdk1.6..0_20\bin\java.exe

This is what I am getting in the error log, however that isn't the version I am running. I have cleared out all instances of this version via registry and everything when I upgraded to the new version, I have no idea how or where it's pulling this from. Any ideas?

Other than this one issue, your program looks great, but if I can't get past this I can't try it.

Yep, next version you can specifiy your own java path ;)

Sort of. You can decompile both to get at the png files, but you still have to do the grunt work of figuring out which jb png files correspond to which ICS png and moving them over.

If anyone knows a quicker way, please share or give a link. :)

Re: [IDE] Virtuous Ten Studio - The next level of reverse engineering apps | 2.2.11.8

How do I recompile? I tried hitting the build button but when It finished, I looked in the virtuous ten folder and the file is still a folder. It's the framework2. Jar that I'm trying to recompile

What he said, since VTS is the only tool which can decompile/compile the images of Sense 4.x skins you actually need it to do so ;)

Diamondback I dont know if this was address already. Found a bug in the push to device feature when pushing a framework-res.apk it pushes it to the app folder instead of the framework folder. So I assuming it does that to all the framework apks that should be in the framework folder.

framework-res.new\Binary\framework-res.apk" "/system/app/framework-res.apk"'

no biggie can push it via terminal just wanted to let you know.

Not really a "bug", just something you need to know. You can change the push path in the project settings ;)
I didn't find any reliable way to determine where an apk belongs... /app or /framework...
The user has to decide that on its own.

.net framework 4 is really required?
It says requirements not met.
Ive a 3 gHz dual core xp with lotz of ram.
No way to get this to work on .net 2?
I use many other softwares including (bt not limited to;) ) Studio Android, Apk manager, Tickle my droid and many more.
Looks nice though, all in one!!

Re: [IDE] Virtuous Ten Studio - The next level of reverse engineering apps | 2.2.11.8

When trying to decompile an apk, I get an error in the logs saying... Project "????" does not use a framework tag. VTS works best with properly set up tags.
I'm not sure exactly what that means or what I have to do. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would be really appreciated.

It's only a warning, not an error. If everything works fine, just ignore it.
It's there because many people forgot to add frameworks where needed so they had errors.

    Virtuous Ten Studio (VTS) is the ultimate solution for the modification of android applications.
    This program allows you to manage entire Android projects within an easy to use and familiar environment.

    The intended group of users covers anyone from a themer over ROM devs up to the smali gods known for their awesome mods of existing apks.
    The modifcation of smali code is one of the biggest features in VTS. You can easily decompile, edit and recompile any apk or jar file.
    However, the application is not limited to smali files. You can edit almost any file found inside an apk or jar.

    Virtuous Ten Studio is also the official successor to the highly important M10Tools released 2011 by the Virtuous Team.
    You can easily edit any m10 file from Sense apps in order to resize or change them.

    Additionally VTS brings support for un- and repacking of boot images (boot.img), a job that previously required a cygwin installation with the dsixda kitchen.
    Since VTS' own implementation is a native windows solution, which means you don't need dsixda or cygwin anymore.

    VTS has been designed to run on Windows, has been in development for nearly two years and has gone through many stages of testing.


    Today VTS is a highly respected, multiple purpose Android IDE (Integrated Develoment Environment) suited for all your reverse engineering tasks.

    As someone that's been using your tools since they were first available, I give a HUGE thanks.
    I have, like duce been innovative with m10 modding. There are probably endless options, through mostly trial and error.
    The payoff on the end result is always worth it. I'll be more than happy when your next release is out.

    I've been using VTS for over 2 months now and it has become the only tool I use. There are tremedous advantages and I'm still finding more. The java source tools are invaluable when working with xmls and smalis. I can now switch between projects with 3 clicks. Great program for modding.

    Guides and tutorials

    My team and I spent a lot of time on writing detailed and comprehensive guides and tutorials about VTS.
    They cover a wide range of topics, from a total beginner level up to complex topics like creating your own HTC Sense skins.

    You can find the guides on my website:

    Okay, everyone, we are getting ready for release. :highfive:
    However, there are a few points everyone has to understand, so I'll publish them prior to the official launch to get a bit more attention. :silly:

    First of all, a huge thanks to my beta testers and tutorial authors: (alphabetical order)
    • Dunc001
    • eg1122
    • Fernando sor
    • fisha21
    • Gumby63
    • il Duce
    • jeffsanace
    • mcluvn
    • memnoc
    Those guys earned my trust and did the major work on writing all the nice guides and tutorials on the all new VTS website (more on that later).

    Let's have a look at the new key features being added in this release:
    • VTS is now able to decompile m10 images. This means everyone can do skins for HTC Sense devices
    • Navigatin in XML documents is much easier now. Simply hold CTRL and click on any reference inside a XML document to jump to the source
    • The content of smali documents gets automatically checked for syntax errors now. Live. And in color. :p
    • We worked hard to provide you useful guides and tutorials on the new website. Additionally, VTS has a (little) help system built in. These are short explanations for a few key features. You can find everything related to "Help" in the new Help tab.
    • It seems nobody saw the potential of the old "Backup" feature, so in this version I added an additional window to easily compare different projects, folders and files. This comes in super handy when porting all kinds of stuff to new apk/jar versions for example.

    Okay, so, this is only a super short list of new features, the full list of changes (almost 2 pages long) can be found (as always) here:
    VTS Changelog


    A few additional notes:
    • I changed the license system a bit to help those that had to start VTS with admin rights to find the license. However, to fully use that fix, you need to activate your license in VTS again. Have a look at your license email if you don't remember anymore how to do that.
    • This release should fully support Windows 8. There's a little glitch in the "View tab" where one checkbox is a bit cut off, but I'll fix that with the next version.
    • Speaking of the next version.... This is the last release with support for Windows XP. The next version (the one after the the one that will be released shortly :p) won't suppor XP anymore. So if you are still using XP (shame on you :p), remember to not update after this release.
    • Despite having fixed the admin issue with licenses, it still seems that VTS needs admin rights for certain other things. If something goes weirdly wrong, try restarting VTS with admin rights.
