am I the only one having problems?
I can choose language, then apktool version, but after that it is completely blank.
there are options, but no text??
I can`t reproduce this problem(if you have spaces in path to program it won`t work, but languages works well. The only way of reproducing this bug was deleting translation files). Maybe this is windows problem, but i tested program on windows 8, 7 & xp - everything works well too. Don`t know how can i help you and whats the reason of the problem :(.

m10 files don't decode using it....Everything else works pretty good.....just that portion.....nice work though

I'll look whats the problem and fix it in next version.

Update: It looks like that it`s m10 tools problem(don`t support sense 3.5, 3.6 and 4.0 m10 files.). I can`t fix this, we need to wait for m10 tools update. But i added error message to my program if it can`t decode m10 file.

It`s not an error. Program just checks if exist singed and unsigned version of your app. I fixed this warning in new version(hope to release it in few days).

While I wait for update, is there anything I can do to make the SystemUI.apk compile? Or just wait for update? (no rush of course)

I'm waiting for apktool update(1.4.9 or 1.4.8b3 must be released soon) and than i'll update my program. But i don't think that update will help you compile systemui. Look for apktool or aapt errors in the log and fix them. You can upload systemui, framework-res and com.htc.resources from your rom here and i'll try to help you find and fix errors in systemui.

Will this tool compile framework.apk clearly or give any errors like Apktool?
I tried to edit framework and then pushed it to my device , but the device bootloops :(
I have tried both methods,by signing the apk and by unsigned method :(
Can anyone help me?
I want to make my settings.apk transparent in cm7 .. I have got the guides but i cant do it, and rather my fellow devs does not help me in doing this :(

Try to compile apk as system and keep all files that you didn't changed.

    Apk changer is a command line program for modification of apk and jar.

    Features:
    - Setup wizard on first start
    - Normal and Advanced Mode.
    - Multicore support(much faster than other tools in batch operations and image optimization) - supports up to 6 cores
    - Decompile/Compile selected part of apk's.(Batch mode supported, framework dependent decompiling supported too)
    - Optimize pngs inside apk's(including .9.pngs).(Batch mode supported)
    - Zipalign apks
    - Sign apks(Batch mode supported)
    - Colored adb logcat with logcat options(via WiFi or usb cable)
    - Two versions of apktool and aapt(1.4.3 and 1.5.1)-if error occurs while decompiling my program will try too use alternative version and will compile your apk with that version that was used for decompiling
    - Three languages at the moment(Russian, English and Dutch) - if you want to translate my progam into your own language just let me know
    - Settings (Compression level, Heap size, optimization level, apktool version, language...) - program saves all settings - no need to enter them every time you starts it.
    - Error detection. If error occured, program reports about it
    - Log (For batch Decompilation/Compilation program creates two logs. First is full and second shows only in with what apks occured errors).
    - Decompile/Compile jar files(framework files)
    - Program automaticaly detects if JAVA installed on your PS and if no starts java installer(which downloads all necessary files from internet) and after installation adds java location to system variable.
    - All stuff i forgot
    - If you need other functions - let me know and i`ll try to add them in future versions

    Credits:
    Brut.all, iBotPeaches and miui team for apktool
    Igor Pavlov for 7zip
    Oracle for JRE
    Google for Android, aapt, adb and zipaling
    X128, hoehrmann, PAQer and all others for image optimization tools
    Adrian Vintu, Jeff Sharkey, André Burgaud for colored logcat

    Instructions:
    - install program
    - put apk or jar files in working folder(place-files-here-for-modding)
    - start program(apkchanger.exe)

    Beta 4:
    -Added jar files decompilation\compilation in batch mode
    -Updated apktool
    -Updated smali\baksmali
    -Fixed few bugs
    5
    Beta 1 released :)
    Main changes are:
    -Updated documentation
    -Updated apktool to 1.5.1(not final build)
    -Added program files checking
    -Updated smali\baksmali
    -Updated aapt - now we use "Fast aapt"
    -Optimized apktool builds
    -Added cpu limitation option
    -Added dex2java decompilation feature(only for single mode, i don`t think that you need -this feature in batch mode). This feature is buggy(i cant make it work better) so if it`s on you'll see many errors\warnings in program log.
    -Fixed & & < bugs
    -Faster program start
    -Translation updated
    -Modified Delete unnecessary files option, now you can define custom lists for apk files
    -Layout improvements
    -Faster program windows redraw
    -Code optimizations and Bug fixes

    PS: Starting from beta 1(alpha 16) development moved to private repo, so you won`t see changes(commits) for main program files on github page :(.

    Beta 1 doesn't install on XP.

    The error log is in attachment.

    Nice job though ;)

    I'll check this(i tested installer only on windows 8. I'll instal xp on virtual machine and check on it.). You always can install program in "old way" - download files(not installer) from github and unpack them to apkchanger folder.
