This looks very cool..and very useful. Nice work. :good:

I hate to be 'that guy' though but I'm going to have to ask that you mention Tickle My Android somewhere in your op.

Speaking of TMA, I'd love to include this in the next version. With you properly credited of course. It's up to you though. :cool:

@BDFreak Finally made some progress with Apktool 2.0.0 Beta 9, it no longer gives the "empty" error so I can now install the SemcGeneric from the Z1C and my rebuilt framework works. I've not used your tool so maybe others could try replacing the apktool.jar with the beta 9 as I've done my fair share of restoring for now.

I can't seem to get this to work on Windows 8.1...
Both JRE and SDK are installed, but still I get an error about missing Java Environment upon starting your tool.. :(

Mate!!

You should install Jre ie Java Runtime Environment 32-Bit although you have 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS :) otherwise Apktool will show error ie "Java Missing blah blah."

Here's the Link:- http://filehippo.com/download_jre_32

Download and install and thn restart your PC and check , i hope it will work!! ;) :)

Please Leave Your Feedback :D

the only tool that did not give me error to recompile my LGSettings3_2.apk.

small issue, I noticed that when recompile LGSettings3_2.apk, he changes me arrays.xml

from
Code: 
        <item><font size=16 align=middle>Small</font></item>
        <item><font size=18 align=middle>Normal</font></item>
        <item><font size=21 align=middle>Large</font></item>
        <item><font size=24 align=middle>Extra large</font></item>

to
Code: 
        <item>&lt;font size=16 align=middle>Small&lt;/font></item>
        <item>&lt;font size=18 align=middle>Normal&lt;/font></item>
        <item>&lt;font size=21 align=middle>Large&lt;/font></item>
        <item>&lt;font size=24 align=middle>Extra large&lt;/font></item>

@BDFreak

I use your great app. Today I tried to update v1 to v2 and norton antivirus tells me, that decompilefile.exe and recompilefile.exe is infected with "Suspicious.Cloud.5" and norton takes it automatic into quarantine. With v1 I have no problem.

I can assure you that it's totally false positive detection. There's is no virus in these files. If you have doubt then just use Shift+Delete+Enter.

    I made this tool specially for the owners of Sony Xperia devices. As in new frimware of Sony when we edit framework-res.apk we get infinite bootloop.
