Did you install ALL framework apks from in the settings and did you use the proper framework tag in the project settings?

ALL the frameworks ? I Think the problem is with the framework-res which is provided to me (Maybe it is edited/custom one) :/
There was no problem with VTS while decompiling my settings for Xperia U. Thank you for the consideration :) :good:

Thanks. I just insatalled it.
Can i look into the java code of any app ?
I couldn't find any java file in the solutions explorer

You need to generate the java source first. When creating the project, there is a checkbox option to generate java source. If you've already decompiled the apk, right click on the project and there is an option to generate java source on the context menu. To find the files, open the project folder in windows explorer, and the java files are in the misc folder. Bear in mind, the java files are read-only...

Hi guys, i was thinking about a small implementation the other day. When you have the solution explorer with all the decompiled apk files (and there can be a lot) is it possible to make a sort of search function ? Like when i press the P it goes to the first apk starting with the P in the explorer. In alphabetical order, kinda like windows does when you open a file ?

Cheers.

it's happen to me before with the project settings framework all installed but still got it so I just went to the folder with the actual framework, included adb within n then installed it manually (apktool if framework-res.apk).

worked for me.. hope it helps!

Hello, I use the latest version of the VTS HTC's framework-htc-res (One Dual Sim, 4.2.2) has been a head scratcher for the last few otas. It compiles fine, as far as apktool goes, but all the public IDs change from 0x04* to 0x03*. Any thoughts on how to prevent this?

In the original version

I have had exactly the same problem on my HTC One since we got updated to 4.3. Thought it was an HTC issue, but I guess not. I've tried leaving usb debugging unticked but it still doesn't load the app list. Let me know if you find a solution!

I am also interessted in an solution. I have the same problem on 4.4, on 4.3 this worked for me.

I had that before because I used the framework-res.apk in my slim backup folder. Is your apk size 10.6MB? Try redownloading the framework from system/framework and trying it again

For some reason can't decompile official Facebook apk, anything I may be possible missing?

We can't tell without the logs about why it failed ;)

Hm, yes, sounds interesting, I'll have a look :)


Sorry if it was very obvious, but can someone link me to instructions on how to make a boot.img from a zImage (bubba)? I can't find it...

You have to create a "Boot" project and import your existing .img file :)

These are not errors but warnings (hence the 'W' from apktool)

Never heard of that one before, maybe ask in the apktool thread as this is obviously something apktool does?

As long as you don't want to edit M10 images ( something that only applies to previous HTC Sense devices) VTS is completely free to use. You can still edit these images but they will have a watermark applied.
For all other uses there are no functional restrictions at all.

    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.

    User feedback

    I've had the pleasure of beta testing and writing tuts for vts and I must say that it is the most useful, well put together program for Android that I've ever used.
    I got that excited that I almost pre jacked when I first used it.
    It is simply truly fxxxxng amazing.
    Thank you team and testers
    Diamondback and everyone involved in this project - thank you! I just started learning (this morning) and
    I am already pushing out some alpha mods to the lockscreen thanks to your tool!!
    It is a great tool, and I will be using it more as I learn more.
    Thank you for the effort you put into this for free, it is amazing. Keep it up! :)
    VTS has done amazing, meticulous work that has enriched, massively, the android community.
    Thank you!

    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.
    This is probably by far the most useful thing I've used on windows lol
    Ohh this is going to be awesome. I'm giddy with excitement. Great job on the app as a whole but with the upcoming m10 editing?
    You guys rocked any other editor out of the water. Keep it up :good:
    Waw.. this project is being developed very fast.... many changes in the software since the last 2 months when I tried it...

    Awesome!!!
    Thanks alot for the hard work, and great job.
    I want to give a huge THANKS for the Virtuous Team!
    I finally released a working transparent HTC clock widget on One X thanks to the new editor.
    I'm just glad that there are people out there smart enough to do this stuff! I was seconds away from getting a Samsung.
    Thank you Diamond for this superb tool and updates!

    Thanks everyone for this. I decompiled, made an edit, then recompiled my first skin last night thanks to this tool and my helpful huddle mates and teammates.
    Great job VTS team and thanks for the many hours of hard work and testing.
    Thank you very much Diamondback for all the hard work you put into this. You're the man!
    I just tried it now :D And I would just say WOWWWW.....
    This is awesome! [..] And again bravo for your help, HTC Sense is much sexier thanks to you
    Thanks again man, I really love this :good::highfive:
    I have just found this, and it's amazing

    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.
