Hm that's a bit weird, looks like apktool didn't correctly uncompress the xml files... Which apktool version are you using? Which configuration?

So far the new version looks awesome :good::fingers-crossed:

But I got a strange 'issue'. I tried to decompile WhatsApp+ just to swap a few smilies for myself.

But whatever setting/preset I try to use I always get this error:

Code: 
14:46:10.569: [Error] - UnzipModule.ExecuteInternal: 'Unzipping file failed'
14:46:10.569: [Error] - UnzipModule.ExecuteInternal: 'C:\WAPLUS.apk is not a valid zip file'

14:46:10.570: [Error] - UnzipModule.ExecuteInternal: '   at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile._InitInstance(String zipFileName, TextWriter statusMessageWriter)'
14:46:10.570: [Error] - UnzipModule.ExecuteInternal: '   at Ionic.Zip.ZipFile..ctor(String fileName)'

The strange thing is, the normal-new-version of WhatsApp does decompile without a problem. The Plus-version simply does not get recognized as a valid zip-file, although I can open and extract it with 7-zip.

This is not a big deal, but maybe someone has an idea :)

Its your java path change to where java was installed also could be the java version I upgraded java to java 7 by so vts wasn't installing the framework so I look in the java path it was pointing to the wrong path and java version.

Hm weird, did you check if your AV intercepted anything? ESET blocks access to some stuff these days if it detects certain ad networks or stuff like that in apks. I've had a few cases were it prevented me from decompiling classes.dex because it blocked the access.

I do not even use any AV :p:victory: Maybe a windows 8.1-ghost-effect?

But this only happens with WA+ not with the normal WA. Will test a bit more :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
