Thanks for checking Chris! I'm kind of glad it's not just an issue on my laptop, which means I've got all the settings right. Just that the other apps work. We'll figure this problem out, sooner or later. I did some searching around already, ppl had similar difficulties that were resolved usually by updating appt.exe. I tried that, no luck.

P.S. @vegeta1
Thanks for helping out!

The problem was not to decompile. That works perfectly well. The problem is to compile it again.

Try to recompile it without changes. See if you get an error.
Actually I just wanna change strings.xml (translate it into Slovene language), but me & Chris didn't manage to recompile it even with no alterations.

No I didn't have them. It read my ass off. Maybe it's a little detail that I just overlooked. Will try it at night again because that's this drive me nuts. :D

Hey Guys ,

I am writing this small guide for people who have just started off with Android Development recently..
as am not a great developer at my end so any corrections and suggestions are always welcome :)


Credits : To Vegeta1. He give me the idea and helped me patiently with every question i got to finish this!
To my great Omega Team Mates! You guys and girl know my feelings. :)



So here we gonna learn how to decompile/recompile/ sign Apks :)

Things needed :

1. jdk/java Get It from here--> http://www.java.com/en/

2. Apktool: Using any according to your liking is ok or you can get all the Stuff needed In this Link

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755243

Thanks To iBotPeaches For The Superb Tool...

3. Notepad++ to make changes in Xmls

4: winrar/7zip
If you want to decompile, compile, sign (and more) applications, why don't you try xda AutoAPKTOOL post #2 from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053227.
It saves you a lot of typing. You just have select what you want to do and drag file/folder to cmd window.
There are two tools there, but I prefer command line one - it worked for me for months. I didn't have much luck with xdaAutoTool in the past but maybe the latest version of this one is OK.
