hi Zivonche
look like you can do two things to get rid of the errors you getting.
1. "Could Not Find C:\Users\Aj\Desktop\ApkManager\place-apk-here-for-modding\../place-apk-here-for-modding/signedframework-res.apk"
FOR THIS USE OPTION : 12 SIGN APK AFTER YOU DECOMPILE -> EDIT -> COMPILE
AND THEN OPTION : 13 TO INSTALL (IF NOT SYSTEM APK)
IF ITS SYSTEM APK YOU ARE MESSING WITH
> AFTER YOU DECOMPILE -> EDIT -> COMPILE " DO NOT SIGN SYSTEM APK"
> TO INSTALL THEM USE OPTION : 8 "ADB PUSH"
2. Now for all other errors i believe you gonna need new
apktool.jar (attached)
and
aapt.exe from latest SDK(attached)(
Ajthescot also mentioned that).
DOWNLOAD ATTACHED FILES, EXTRACT IT INSIDE YOUR APK MANAGER'S "OTHER" FOLDER. YES OVERWRITE THEM (TAKE BACKUP OF ORIGINAL IF YOU WANT !)
THEN BEFORE YOU PULL/DECOMPILE/EDIT/COMPILE DO THIS FIRST.
1. PULL framework-res.apk (it will in folder "place-apk-here-for-modding")
2. Move framework-res.apk from "place-apk-here-for-modding" to "other"
3. SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on "OTHER" folder, and open command window (thnx
Ajthescot)
4. RUN THIS COMMAND : java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
(if this returns no error that means YOU ALL SAFE TO PROCEED)
5. Now start pulling any apk you want to mess with.
* IF YOU ONLY WANT TO EDIT PNGs USE OPTIONS : 1-8 (DO NOT SIGN SYSTEM APK)
IF YOU MESSING WITH XML DO NOT EXTRACT BUT DECOMPILE OPTION : 9
AND DELETE resources.arsc BEFORE YOU COMPILE AND THEN PUSH THEM.
i hope this helps
thnx.
---------------------------UPDATE-2-1-12-----------------------------
So today i ran into same error as you.
But only when i use OPTION : 1 to EXTRACT APK
The reason is APKMANAGER used 7z (ie 7za.exe in OTHER folder) to decompress files. Some apks in the same ROM has diff type of compression method i believe.
In my case i am working on DJ_STEVE Ginger STreak (for dell streak 5) ROM and "AccountAndSyncSettings.apk" gives me ERRORS SAME AS YOU DO but not "Phone.apk"
So its the 7za.exe that is unable to extract some apks and giving errors.
let me know what you come accross.
thnx.
thanks for the answer
it seems that you too have
Error
"Could Not Find C:\Users\Aj\Desktop\ApkManager\place-apk-here-for-modding\../place-apk-here-for-modding/signedframework-res.apk"
maybe you didnt change anything thats way it looks ok
try to change an XML file than delete from the keep folder the resources.arsc
than create the apk and check if its exists in your new compiled apk
anyway i tried what you said
now i get an error that take a few second to appear
this it the log it is something with PNG
its too long so i cut it but thats what i get now
