I am trying to modify XMLs of Jelly Bean Contacts.apk. Using apktool that has been used for ICS and other Jelly Bean apks, I can decompile and then recomplie it without any error. However, the recompiled Contacts.apk would not work in cell phone, showing a message "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped!".
To simplify the problem, I simply do decompiling and then recompiling without any modifications. I found that the size of resources.arsc has been changed from 1480 KB to 1525 KB. The new Contacts.apk causes FC!
Note: Files in smali folder can still be modified. After editing, use apktool to recompile and create a new apk. Then use WinRAR or 7zp to drag the newly created classes.dex into the original Contacts.apk. Such a "modified" Contacts.apk works properly. Note here that we did not modify resources.arsc.
This problem is only related to resources.arsc!! XMLs cannot be recompiled!!
Does anybody have the same problem? Do you know how to solve this problem? Any solutions or suggestions are appreciated.
Did anybody try this?
Are you all ok with modifying Contacts.apk?
With the current apktool jar file you can not edit any XML in the contacts apk. It has to be done in source code

Thank you for your reply. The question is why we can edit XML in other apks except Contacts.apk.
Is there any magic?
framework-res.apk, Settings.apk, SystemUI.apk, Phone.apk are all ok without any problem.

Hi Someone can help me
First you need to Deodex your system. Then you can decompile apks. Use this tool for Windows: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333
