I'm interested in the answer to this as well. I've been struggling to deodex my stock lollipop systemui to make some theme modifications and am not having any luck....

Hi.
Symply. If I did the activity reported I obtained the message about path/file not found.
It's the same probelm from a long time.
My XP batch works fine and didn't reported any errors.
Than it means that the problem is in your app (macro).
Please take care also about important problem about subfodler created in wrong path when you decompress an apk. Pelase check my previous post.

@Flextrick Is there an opportunity to see the log in real time? When I compile something, and there`s some error, the programm keeps running, it doesn`t stop untill I close it manually. And I have no log to see what was wrong.
Yea so this has now happened after a computer restart. All was good after the first time I compiled an apk...However, this time it just runs and runs and runs and it never compiles, it looks like its doing something, however, nothing is at all happening? Any ideas

Ok, I try to add this!
@bovirus
I just checked your log again and now I've got a question to you: Do you run the AndroidMultitool.exe from AndroidMultitool/Files?
Because you should run it from the main dir, which is C:\somepath\AndroidMultitool
I am confused try to add what? I am having the same trouble it never compiles it keeps running until I manually close it? What do I do?

@Flextrick.
I ran AMT from C:\AndroidMultiTool folder.
I ewill check again.
If you tru to unpack an apk and the folder already exist this is the log
Microsoft Windows [Versione 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. Tutti i diritti riservati.
c:\AndroidMultitool>cd c:\AndroidMultitool\Program_Files
c:\AndroidMultitool\Program_Files>apktool d C:\AndroidMultitool\Files\stocard.apk -o c:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk\stocard
c:\AndroidMultitool\Program_Files>Destination directory (c:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk\stocard) already exists. Use -f switch if you want to overwrite it.
I believe that you shouldd use -f switch by default.
Please add if you can the automatically log saving.
Leave the LOG Celanup button (now where there is Log save)
It's useful to make comparison about rpevioun pack/unpack

Thank you for this update and Happy Holidays to you also!
Mine has done this since v3.5.3 I believe. It will run continuously as if its compiling but doesn't stop until you force close it. I also run an older version of the multitool that doesn't do it as well just for the times this happens.
Came to realize this ONLY happens at times there are "errors" on the build attempt. It just hangs instead of stopping and showing the results/errors as how it's suppose too. This runs up my laptop pretty hard for sure at these times.
I figured out because i run the second set up and noticed it was only ones that were throwing errors. Because of having to force close out of it when it runs nonstop cannot get a log or one that says anything that is., so don't have one if anyone was going ask.
Thanks, these information helps. Im goingt to try to fix that!
I have also experienced the same issue, on last version and this one. Thanks for all your work. :good:

678Android Multitool
Hello,
I´m glad to present my Android Multitool wich makes it easier to decompile/recompile applications + jar framework files. You can also sign your apk by easily clicking a button.
Requirements:
- Winows OS XP / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10
- Installed Java on Windows
- Installed Microsoft Powerpacks
- Installed .NET framework
- Easy handling: Select your apk and push the "decompile" button!
- This tool makes modding much faster and easier, no cmd handling any more.
- You can read the log which is integrated in the tool to find your mistake in the error.
- ADB inside: Push files into your file system with a few clicks
It looks like this so far:
How to use this tool?
Follow this small how to!
Here you go..
Well, first extract the AndroidMultitool folder to C:\. Otherwise it probably won´t work
-copy your framework-res.apk in the Framework-Files folder and other files you want to mod in the "Files" folder (this folder is for all your files you want to mod, don't pick files from any other location)
-Next you have to start AndroidMultitool.exe
-select your framework-res.apk and push the "install" button (check log for errors)
Decompiling and recompiling apk files:
-select the apk you want to mod/decompile and push the "decompile" button (check log for errors)
Note: You can check the "use baksmali" checkbox, then e.g. the useless .line text will be removed
-your decompiled apk will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk"apkname" as a folder
-if you want to compile your apk again, select your decompiled folder, check the "apk" radio button and compile it again (check log for errors)
-your recompiled apk will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Compiled_apk"apkname"
Decompiling and recompiling jar files:
-select in the combobox ".jar" (check the "use baksmali" checkbox for deleting the useless .line comments)
-select the ".jar" file you want to mod
-push the "decompile" button
-your decompiled jar file will be locaten in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_jar"jarname"
-for recompiling you have to check the "jar" radiobutton and select the folder within your decompiled ".jar" file
-push the compile button
-your compiled jar file will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Compiled_jar"jarname"\classes.dex
-delete the "classes.dex" file in your ".jar" file
-copy the new "classes.dex" file you compiled in the ".jar" file
Signing apk files:
-select the ".apk" you want to sign
-push the "sign" button
-the signed apk file is located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Signed_apk"apkname_signed"
Using tags:
You want to decompile many files from different devices or different android versions / frameworks? Tagging makes it possible!
- before installing your framework type in any tag (like "hero")
- then install your framework and work normally
Android Debug Bridge
You want to push files with adb to your device? Follow these instructions:
Please klick on the "advanced" register in the tool
-push "check" to control if your device is ready
-if the device is not ready please follow the instructions, which are listed in the tool (device offline, no device...)
-if the device is ready, choose a file you want to push
-choose a path on the device, where the file should be placed later
-push the "push" Button
-alternately: press "Reboot device" to reboot your device and to let changes take effect
If there are any questions or bugs, please post them in the thread.

Enjoy easier apk handling!
Having issues with the program?
Try the batch version developed by @bovirus (it's also in the AndroidMultitool folder)
Questions and answers:
Q: The programm does not start, it crashes.
A: Please install Powerpacks, this one: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=145727&clcid=0x804
Q: What do you mean exactly with "!!!NOTE!!! After compiling you have to copy the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from your old apk to your newly compiled one!! Otherwise you´ll get bootloop! " .. I don't understand.
A: You have to open your old apk (this one you selected for decompiling in the folder /files) and copy from that apk the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder to the apk you just decompiled and recompiled.
Q: I followed all steps in the startpost but I'm still getting this error: "apktool is not recognized as internal or external command"
What can I do?
A: Please refer to this post by @LasVegasRomeo: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51017662&postcount=681

put the file in it in Framework-Files sub-folder of Android Multitool and install it in Android Multitool.
Then try again to decompile/recompile the application.

..13Very nice tool!
One feature request, could you have a checkbox for say the -b command so that we can get rid of the useless .linexx and .parameterxx lines? That would make this tool perfect
Another feature is adding the twframework-res.apk as a framework file? Thats essential for modding samsung system apk's. I usually have to install both twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk before decompiling. Maybe adding 2 slots for the framework in the tool?
Thanks again!!
Sure, adding a second slot will be no problem!
But I don't know what you mean with this checkbox, could you explain me exactly what you mean?
