Apk Manager 4.9 - Makes Modifying Ur Apk A Breeze (Windows/Linux)

jmbillings · 5th January 2012, 10:20 AM

After some quick pointers here. I'm testing out a quick change to an image in SystemUI.apk. I got the file, dropped it in the modding folder, unzipped, edited a png, saved, optimized, zipped and zipaligned. All that worked well.
I then tried the adb push option (as I assume SystemUI.apk is a system file?) and it failed. Here is the screen output:

Code:

Please make your decision:8
Where do you want adb to push to and as what name
Example of input : /system/app/launcher.apk
Type input: /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Waiting for device
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Pushing apk
"An Error Occured, Please Check The Log (option 21)"
Press any key to continue . . .

but in the log, I see this:

Code:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
|05/01/2012 --  9:40:00.96| 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02, mixed mode)
cannot stat 'place-apk-here-for-modding\unsignedSystemUI.apk': No such file or directory

So it's looking for a file called "unsignedSystemUI.apk". That doesn't exist, the file is still called the same as the original.

I zipped a second time, and now it created the above file, but when I now do adb push it's looking for "signedSystemUI.apk" instead?!

Problems with Whatsapp

Help me please.
I wanted to theme Whatsapp app.

And when I tried to re-compile the app I got this:

It can't find my systemui.apk in the place here for signing folder even though its there. What do I do?

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

I renamed to signed.apk to fix the error and now whenever I try to sign it keeps disappearing. Nowhere to be found on my desktop. Someone please help?

hackersdoom13 · 15th January 2012, 12:25 AM

currently using newest apktool and apk maanger. i decoded an apk and made a few changes but i cant seem to figure out the correct command to type in cmd for compiling. i cd'd to C:\apk manager\other
the directory of the revised/decoded apk is C:\apk manager\place-apk-here-for-modding\music.apk
what should i type in cuz it always says file could not be found

chrisexv6 · 16th January 2012, 02:30 PM

Just starting with this so pardon the possible dumb question:

If I extract an APK, then immediately zip the APK....how come its ending up a different size than the original? Nothing changed obviously. Just trying to get a baseline of exactly how to extract, change some images, then rebuild the APK.

I havent tried installing it or running it on an emulator but I assume its NOT going to work.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks.
