Somebody give me advise please?

I normally don't recompile an apk with edited images. If they are .9s use apk manager to decompile sure, edit in image editing software then pull your drawable folder from another fresh copy of the apk. Copy edited images in then drag and drop the drawable folder back in the apk. After (non system apps only) you must re-sign the apk as the md5 sum changes cause your images aren't the same size anymore. Keep in mind you will needto delete the original .apk from the phone copy the edited one to your sd and install it. Also note you can't update the apk anymore cause the new signature

Edit: image size in layout? Layout is many xml files if your talking about xml files the same applies about resigning and all cause the overall size of the apk still changes.

Anyone know why I continuously get the "An error occured Please check the log" I increased the heap size to 512mb. Im trying to decompile the systemUI and framework-res of stock xoom wifi. Its got me stumped here...

This tool is working great for me. I just need some guidance on making the app drawer transparent. I know the samli code and the xml values but, I dont know what I need to decompile the rosie.apk with. Ive tried com.resources. but the app drawer is still black and not transparent with I flash it. Any advice would be great.

What does the log say when you check it?

Yeah

Before you try to decompile SystemUI.apk, you need to install the framework-res.apk as 1.apk

To do this, in a command prompt go to a directory that has apktool.jar and framework-res.apk and type
Java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk

Or

Rename a copy of framework-res.apk to 1.apk
And replace c:\users\yourname\apktool\1.apk



The framework-res.apk should decompile. Post a link to a copy of your framework and one of us can take a look.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit and have the correct version of Java installed. However apk manager is not finding Java.
What is the proper way for me to format my PATH for ADB and Java? Java is in the program files folder and the SDK is located in the C directory.

Thanks in advance

solved

I solved it. I got the right samli code and decompiling the rosie with com. resources is all you need.

Themeing, Please help. Thanks in advance

Hey guys,

Im having issues with this script. I am able to decompile my framework-res.apk fine, make changes to xml files fine but when I recompile I get the errors below in my logs. I have tried themed and stock framework-res' and I made sure to sign them. Everytime I place one into my CWM zip file I get a bootloop.

As a test I decompiled the stock framework-res, did not change anything, recompiled, signed, and flashed and my phone still bootloops. There must be something with the recompile that I am not doing right.

Thanks in advance for the help.

first of all you do not have adb working with apk manager - rtfm
second of all you might not have proper framework 'attached'
