[solved] Apktool not working? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This Problem solved by downloading apkmanager.
Hi guys.
I just have to make a small change in the Settings App.
I have done that before on official cm7 and even on stock.
Problem is that if i just decompile the apk using apktool, then even compile it with no change at all. Then Sign It, and copy it to system /app with permissions..It just doesn't show up in the app drawer even after a reboot..
This is surely a problem with apktool, coz i'm not even changing anything, just decompiling and compiling.
The same for cm7 themes. i try to compile cm7 themes but they just don't work when i copy them to system /app.
I copied it to sd card and tried to install from sd card. And it works, but not when it's included in system /app.

Nope not working...
Trying to make Settings.apk ICS Style for unofficial cm7. Making it work on the official cm7 was a left hand game. But I don't know what's the issue wid this one.
I tried apk manager, and it's getting errors at decompiling it.
Lemme see what else i can dig up. :/

Why is this flagged as urgent?
On: Which version of apktool do you use? The newer versions may not be compatible!

Try apk multi-tools
http://apkmultitool.com/node/14
it works without problems for me

your problem is that you're signing the apk. Stock apps, like Settings and SystemUI, cannot be signed. You need to keep the original apk (the one you've decompiled) and change files inside it.

I tried.
Then just used apk manager.
Got errors on decompiling copied the apktool 1.4.3 files to the "other" folder.
Decompiled succesfully
followed instructions.
And it worked.

It's not urgent. I'm changing the title.

Ebuddy 1.9.1 apk for theming?

I love ebuddy on android, it's better than the official chinese MSN I posted a few weeks ago but I am sick of silver, white and orange. I am unfamiliar with how to get the apk files from apps installed from the android market.
Could someone, anyone please provide me with the apk file for ebuddy 1.9.1 (the most recent) so I can do some colour variations?
Cheers.

Install the Android SDK, open Command Prompt and write:
Code:
adb devices
adb pull /data/app app
Or if you know the .apk name
Code:
adb pull /data/app/apkname.apk
That will create a new folder called app in your /tools folder with all your apps.
Ah cheers man, done it
will post some colour variations asap.
Any idea why when i repackage the files as a zip then rename as an apk it fails to install?

"drawable-hdpi-v4/chat_orange_back.9.png"

here's the zip file, if you can tell me what I've done wrong I'd really appreciate it.
Hmm..I let it compile, but fails to install the apk..

Download APKManager and you should be good.
EDIT: Didn't see the answers below mine for some reason ... I'm not at my desktop right now, but if no one has checked it by the time I get hope I'll see if I'm any help.
If you're just changing pngs, try to just extract the apk then zip it when changed. Ie. Don't decompile it
Do this using apkmanager

no idea why your file wont install...
I decompiled a fresh version of ebuddy, compiled back and installed, no probs.
But, for exchanging some png´s only, that´s what I do:
- take a fresh original version (v1.9.1 attached)
- open com.ebuddy.android-1.apk with 7-Zip
- copy/paste new png´s
- close file
- sign
- install

There is a semi easy way:
-Grab your ORIGINAL framework apks that you'll be editing from \system\app
-Use 7zip to extra the apk to a folder and name it something like "TO-BE-MODDED"
-Grab the .apk from a themed version you liked and do the same steps as above but make the directory something like "FROM-MOD"
Within the FROM-MOD folder you'll have a lot of images and XML files... **DO NOT COPY XML FILES**
Transfer all the images to your TO-BE-MODDED folder and overwrite it. You can then .zip up the contents of that folder and change the extension to .apk and overwrite your \system\app .apk by using Root Explorer or adb push
**ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FC'S IF YOU JACKED SOMETHING UP**
There's also a tool called APK Manager that will use adb pull if you know the apk you need or you can drop the apk in a working folder. It will then extract contents, allow XML to be edited, zip it back up, and even zipalign it
P.S The reason you copy XML files is because they can change colors, links, and behaviour of the ROM and will normally be the culprit for FC's if you overwrite or edit something improperly.

This method will change the base graphics no matter what ROM the theme is based on?
I'd really like to try cognition 4, but I like the Gingermix theme, which is for i9000 roms...
I ported the [THEME] Generation X v1.14 - port [Cognition/FireFly/JL1] boot animation for Cog. that whiteguypl ported into Cognition 3.0 into Cognition 4.1. I didn't add the settings from this theme as I have my own settings but it would be easy to do.

thank you, i know how to load fonts on the phone however i prefer to use whatever is built in. hence why i was asking if there were other fonts available on his theme.
While I have not looked into this version of the theme, there may still be the Sansation font from the original build by D3StRoY & R64.

Themed System Apps not Working

I'm just trying a bit of theming myself, found plenty of guides on the topic however I have found one slight problem. No matter how I try to install my modded system apps, it always fails to install or doesn't change the original app at all.
I use APKmodder to do the editing if that affects anything, however the same issues arrise when using NinjaMorph on my NS.
I have tried multiple methods of getting the apps onto my device. Using adb push, creating a custom update.zip (which is all set out properly), NinjaMorph and even just the regular apk install, all of them either don't update the apps or are pushed to /system/apps but are not in the app launcher.
Any ideas? I have searched for hours about this and I haven't found anything to help me. Finally, if it helps I have tried with Launcher2.apk and Camera.apk.

Any ideas at all? I've never had much luck with Modding apps full stop. Could it be my copy of APKmodder?

is your rom deodexed?
I imagine so, running CM7 and I can't find any odex files in /system. I also read somewhere else that CM6 was deodexed so I figured it would be the same.
What difference would it make if it wasn't deodexed? Would you need to remove the odex or something?

CM7 is deoxed. It's probably because you're changing the apk, don't understand why you're playing with it but whatever.
No idea, my recommendation is to not mod it.
I am not familiar with the tools you're using, but I've heard that people have had trouble with them in the past.
The best tool for theming is Apkmanager 4.9 used along with Apktool 1.3.1.
However, if you're simply swapping some images, just do so in WinRAR or 7zip. No deed to decompile, resign anything. Just put your system apps in a Flashable zip in this order: Zip/system/framework/framework-res.apk and Zip/system/app/<your system apps> and drag and drop your images in the right locations.
Also, your zip must have a META-INF folder with the proper update script.
You can use any one of my themes as a template.
Hope this doesn't sound too convoluted.
Cheers.
Thanks for that, some changes are image based but there are also some XML based changes which I require, would the 7zip method work there?
And sorry if I'm being vague, but Im not near my computer now, but how would you use two tools in conjunction? Because I have used apktool before but not the other.
Thanks very much though! I am finally getting somewhere
Edit: thanks for the template offer, I will have a look and see what's different to my tests. Just one final question, is there any difference between an update-script and updater-script?
Double EDIT: For future reference if anyone finds this, there is a difference between update-script and updater-scripts. From Android 1.5 onwards, Google moved to updater-script's, leaving update-script's behind. Make sure you remember this!

For xml changes you have to decompile/recompile the apk. Apkmanager is a GUI for apktool so you don't have to learn/remember the java commands.
If you download Apkmanager, it comes with Apktool 1.3.2, be sure to replace it with 1.3.1. It's way more stable and reliable.
Not sure about the difference between updater and update, maybe one has Amend scripts and one doesn't.
I am not a developer so can't say for sure , but the one person to ask would be ogdobber.
He literally knows everything about everything .

APK won't Sign correctly after applying theme...app dissappears.

Looking for some assistance on getting a themed app to behave properly. It's a keyboard (Flext9) I downloaded from the Amazon Market for free as a promotion (normally 5.00). I have NO intention on distributing this at all. It's solely for me, and as a learning experience.
This is my first go round at themeing..so if I don't understand what your telling me..go easy..
With the help of DroidXCon, nitsuj17 (how to write up), Chopperdog, Gunnermike, and google, I figured out how to decompile, edit the xml's, recompile, edit the images in gimp, re-draw the patches with draw9patch for the .9's, re-compile .9's with xUltimate, replace the images with 7zip.
At this point if I sign the apk, it breaks like two or three of the functions and robs the xml edits, and .9 edits. It basicallly screws things up royally. (I have used multiple signing tools and they all do the same thing)
The way I get it to function is to install the stock flext9 keyboard, overwrite the app file in data\app with the themed one, change the permissions and owner using root explorer, and I'm good. It's fully functional and themed appropriately. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/SC20110621-233700.png.
The only thing with this is I get an error message when I try to change a setting in preferences [Amazon Marketplace something..Error with the application. Please re-download from Amazon Marketplace] here's the logcat of that error. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21063130/logcat.txt
It only happens once, then not again.
The REAL problem is when I reboot the phone the app is removed from keyboard and languages in settings, and the option in input method is completely gone. However, the app is still installed. The file is still in data\app and if I try to re-install, it prompts me to overwrite the "installed" app. (There is a already a version of this installed. Do you want to overwrite?). However, the app name has changed in the settings-manage applicatons-All from Flext9 to com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk.. (the file name in data\app) which is different.
Trying to get this to work... more from a "I want to conquer this thing" than I reallly want this keyboard..haha..
any help would be greatly appreciated..
thanks in advance.

If you cant get it signed correctly you could use ninjamorph app to decompile, swap out the stock files with your themed .png and .xml files.
The Good: decompiles, recompiles and swaps out the app for you without having to resign it.
The Bad: You have to swap out files one by one, it can take awhile.
I wouldnt use it to theme anything but it works great for swapping out files you have already modded. I used it on my TW4 launcher. Was really easy to pull my modded files from dropbox to SD and swap em out..
If you have a hard time with it. Check out YouTube.

yo thanks man...I hadn't tried that yet..but I'll give it a go...
I am assuming I would want to swap out the .9's with the themed/re-patched/recompiled .9's I have correct?
Yes.... Especially the .9's! Ninjamorph will give you some options as far a resizing the .png's but as you prob already guesssed dont try it with .9 images. Just swap em out 1 for 1.

Yeah..it's locking up...when I try to select the new image to replace with...force closed twice..
Tell me this doctor...why does the 'values' folder with the xml files I edited not show up when you "open archive" with 7zip or when the .apk is extracted with ninjamorph? Hard to change if it ain't there.

haha..you don't have to man...unless you want too..
com.nuance.flext9.input-1.apk...decompile with apktool...file res\values\colors.xml ---styles.xml--edit..recompile...7zip open archive..same files no where to be found.. where do these go?..do the values get pushed to all the other xml files..?
Maybe this is the problem.
When I sign the apk..it seems like the .9's take, but the xml edits go to hell..and I lose the trace input function (hmmm...I edited the xml for that in the disappearing values\colors.xml file...) and the voice command function is broke as well. (connection error).. HOWEVER, with a davlik wipe, fix permissions in cwm, the app is still there after reboot....(this has been the standard with apk manager opt 16 and autosign tool)
Still unsuccesfull with ninjamorph
if signing is the problem then all you need to do is decompile the apk, make all your edits, and then recompile. Then to bypass the signing just extract the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original unthemed apk and add them back into your newly compiled apk.

Sorry, ive been busy updating my themes. Some apk's like phone.apk, swype.apk and camera.apk are very tempramental when it comes to modding them. I these .apk's you have to drag and drop your modded files into place. Im not sure if that is the problem tho as these .apk's will usually show up in app/drawer and even will launch but will FC upon opening them To be honest im a little stumped on this one. Looks like you did everything right, so im not to sure whats going on there.

[SOLVED] Can't decompile SecSettings.apk

Hey buddys, I found a [HOW TO] for Multi-window port.. I'm going to give a try
Now, my problem is that the environment is setted up, I think, correctly but I can't decompile "SecSettings.apk"
Every time I try with "APK Multi Tool" "Apktool" "Apk Manager" I have errors like this:
This is my ADB Variable:
And my PATH is this:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools
The PATH is correct because there are JDK and JRE installed, same for SDK..
How can I fix this? Thanks in advance people!!

I installed correctly the frameworks now and edited the files using the SGS II [HOW TO]..
Bootloop.. Im sure bootloops because I used the SGS II files, I dont know if are the same smali and jar's files of Advance..
I'll study better this later, now im going to find another mods for JB..
Thanks Shaaan!

You didn't sign file. Copy Meta-INF from original to the new one. Open files with WINRAR for that.
Still bootlops..
Leave this thread like SOLVED and when you can gimme a hand, if you want of course

Try to put resurces.arsc from compiled to original file. With WINRAR, and set compression to lowest - storage it is I think. And then try it.
