Changelog:
Cleaned up script to and compile settings and systemui apks
Code:
echo Building Apk

java -Xmx%heapy%m -jar apktool.jar b -f "../projects/%capp%" "%~dp0place-apk-here-for-modding\%capp%"
if errorlevel 1 (
echo "An Error Occured, Please Check The Log (option 21)"
PAUSE
)
(Lines 489-495 if you're using Notepad++)
You can either re-download the APK-Manager_4.9_Honeycomb_Edition.zip from above or you can download the new Script.bat HERE
Just extract the Script.bat and replace the old one.
Some Extra Instructions:
To do this U MUST make a new folder in C:/users/<yourname>/ and call it apktool and a sub folder within it called framework. If you have this there already YOU ROCK!!
Mine reads:
Code:
C:/Users/Thomas/apktool/framework
Now within that framework folder you need a copy of a complete stock framework-res.apk and you need to rename it to 1.apk
You also need a copy of a complete stock twframework-res.apk and rename it 2.apk
So it should read:
Code:
C:/Users/<yourname>/apktool/framework/1.apk
and
Code:
C:/Users/<yourname>/apktool/framework/2.apk
Remember any apk you are attempting to decompile MUST BE COMPLETE STOCK to do so.
I have done all of this and tested over and over again and I am getting no errors whatsoever. If you do get some errors please make sure all your paths for SDK are setup correctly including setting a path for Java JDK as well.
PM me with any questions or concerns regarding all this. I will do my best to respond within a timely manner.

reserved for future

Very nice, thanks
Makes work easier

Thanks Doc I found this tool to become very handy when I did some things for the Samsung Epic 4G. I had to be able to use it for the Tab lol. Thanks again. Keep up the fantastic work yourself.

I was to early with that, it seems to ''shrink'' my framework-res.apk so I can't use it.
It was 6.506kb and after a decompile and than compile it is 4.082kb, no changes made.
I didn't see it yesterday and I ended reflashing my TF

Try after you select your project (Option 22) select (Option 19) Set your compression level and change it to 0.
That shouldn't shrink it at all.
Sorry about that let me know if that works as well so I can update OP

sorry man, it still shrinks my apk

Okay let me look into it. Sorry man.

Thanks man, should I upload my apk file so you can test it ?

yeah pm me with the link

Updated 8/18/2011
I've updated the OP a ton so please read away.

Well, that was easy
One small nitpick: What is the rationale behind overwriting the original files when compiling? Just curious.
And, for us antiquated old geezers building on something like a Windows Server 2003, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk should be present as
C:\Docume~1\<username>\apktool\framework\1.apk and 2.apk respectively.
Edit: Which sort of happens automagically, if you ...
java -jar other/apktool.jar if place-apk-here-for-modding/twframework-res.apk
... on that sort of platform.

It makes creating a theme fairly easy. It allows access to xml's, smali files(****ed up java files lawl!(i know what they are, i just like that version better)), and all the images in whatever apk you put in it. SO you can put in your new images, edit old images, edit xml files, edit smali files.

[GUIDE] Dummies guide to port MIUI rom for ideos X6 variant!

Lets discuss about ROM port guidance for dummies like me. Hope it will help others also who want to port it.
Here is my experience for porting several MIUI in my phone, shall other to make it perfect.
First we must have a source rom to port. Desire HD is my chosen since it has some similar hardware.
I replace the source rom using several files from the previous working MIUI rom.
I never mix framework with any other files from previous miui version, I just patch framework.jar and services.jar (decompile and recompile). And for system app files I let them as is, except for torch.apk taken from 1.11.11 and systemUI.apk with manual patch (decompile and recompile).
I use the same driver modules files in every my port (wifi, sensor, light, gps), the rest drivers are compiled in the kernel so we can't touch them except if we can build from source. I use almost the same library in every port. ( You can see the same files from my 2.2.3 and my 2.3.9)
The other files are came from the source dhd rom and additional apps taken from other rom or any mod as long as they're not accessing the hardware directly.
And for the kernel, lately I use SDKernel and mOCK kernel. I've modified both boot image of them. At 2.3.9 as you knew, I use modded SDKernel, I've change default cpu clock and also bringing up the fm radio service in it. And for my current miui (2.3.16) I'm using mOCK kernel, I've change the default cpu clock also, but not bringing up fm service (since I've not succeded yet using FM radio).
Here are some files I don't use from source rom (replace by following files):
- Torch.apk
- hciattach
- netd
- wpa_supplicant
- liba2dp
- libc****
- libcamera
- libcamera_service
- libffmpeg
- libgemini
- libhardware_legacy
- libmmipl
- libmmjpeg
- liboemcamera
- libril
- librpc
- libskia
- libwebcore
- vold
- vold.stab
- btwlancoex
- compassd
- geomagneticd
hci_qcomm_init
hostapd
hostapd_cli
lightd
load_wifi
modempre
netmgrd
nt_password_hash
oem_rpc_svc
orientationd
port-bridge
proximityd
pwgen
qmuxd
rmt_oeminfo
zipalign
all files from system/etc/firmware/wlan
some files in init.d script, I use just hostapd, tweak sdcard read and zipalign. The rest setting I let the default config.
init.qcom.xxx
loca_parameter.ini
wpa_supplicant.conf
all files from /system/lib/hw and /system/lib/modules from previous port ( taken from 1.11.11 and triumph if I'm not wrong... not exactly remembered)
libaudio***
libauth
libcm
libcommondefs
libdiag
libdll
libdsi_netctrl
libdsm
libdsmutils
libgsd**
libidl
libloc***
libmmgsdilib
libnetmgr
libnv
liboem_rapi
liboncrpc
libOpenVG
libpbmlib
libposteffect
libqdp
libqmi
libqueue
libreference-ril
libril***
libwms**
and also all file in /system/usr/keychars and /system/usr/keylayout
If I'll change kernel, then I'll change wifi lib also which work with it.
And add some addons... not related to the core.
wpa_supplicant.conf, gps.conf, build.prop are changed as needed
I think those files are sufficient to make a new port...
Tools to decompile and recompile apk and jar files is apktool, you can use apkmultitool from apkmultitool.com.
How to fix headset:
Decompile services.jar, use this command line;
apktool d services.jar
You'll find services.jar.out folder as output. Find HeadsetObserver.smali file and replace any "h2w" word with "headset_sensor". Use notepad++ to do it. And recompile using this command line:
apktool b services.jar.out
Find the new compiled file at services.jar.out/dist folder.
How to fix native wifi tether and haptic feedback:
The file need to modify is framework-res.apk. You can do the same to decompile and recompile just like fixing headset. Decompile the file and find array.xml in framework-res.out/res/values. Find "wl.0" replace with "softap.*". You'll easily find the level values pattern for haptic feedback in the same file. The pattern values is "off,on,off,on" format to turn off and turn on vibrate in milisecond. Recompile again.
The new compiled file can not be used yet, you should restore the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest file from the original framework-res.apk file. Use 7zip application to open both old and new framework-res.apk and drag META-INF folder and AndroidManifest file to the new compiled framework-res.apk then it ready to use.
Happy porting......!!!
I'll update this post if there are some more useful...
Any suggestion are welcome...

Thank you very much for this. Will surely help newbies like me

FR... I got an idea... if there is an app which will do just like your future release miui kitchen BUT it run in device, so it will have an OTA update, how cool....! I want to help to port it to an android app (apk file), but I just only have several hours in a week for this fun.

I have already scripted what you have written in the first post.
What needs to be done with the framework files?

I think we have to let the original theme and standard apps, the customization is optional due to different need of users. (For example you and me could be like beat audio or maybe not).
For the headset, you have to decompile service.jar, open headsetobserver.smali (i forgot for the exactly name) and change every "h2w" word to "headset_sensor" then recompile, then headset will work.

The kitchen app shall be ready in a day or two.
Shall experiment later when I return home.
Btw, what to change in the framework folder?
Also, you need to mention in your guide that the proprietary hw, keylayout,keychar, module files need to be preserved.
I have pmed zuk regarding his set of proprietary fih/fb0 files so that we can make a skeleton framework to be used for cooking every Rom.

Service.jar is in framework folder FR. My prev post mention the change of this file.
Yes, any files in hw,modules,keychar and keylayout folder at the source rom should be deleted and replaced by files from the working rom.
The skeleton for other rom willbe different. You have to make different folder for skeleton files for different rom. Several are the same files, but separating them will make you easier to manage. So the list file names is not too important, just put them in the folder will be enough. Sorry .... Just my though...

AND LADIES & GENTLEMEN... WE HAVE LIFT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!
REJOICE.
I have made an automatic miui rom porter.
I am calling the app F-CuK-R
Thank you CK, edowar, zuk and elol.
Just booted up 2.3.16 successfully. Ported using my app (Testing the rom it churned out. I am hoping native wifi tethering is fixed)
Shall upload after midnight.
Now we can have MIUI GB release the same day after every official release
Although I must confess a lot of the files I am using are missing in this post.
but fear not, I shall make them public as soon as the app is ready for prime time with a nice gui.
Made the list after several failed experiments over the last week. Finally a simple file comparison (using a script I made) between the official MIUI release and the original 1.11.11 release helped.

Need help by (de)compiling frameworkr-res.apk

hello
i cant figure out how to decompile and compile framework-res.apk from free optimus project nightly 6
i tried many versions of apktool and apkmanager some of them works if i change the version for compiling and decompiling and i have one version which is extra for ics and this works without changing
but if i include a framework-res.apk in the rom.zip which is successfully decompiled and compiled (without errors) the phone gets into a bootloop.
can anybody teach me how to do this correctly?
i already have tried to sign the apk and repackaged the whole rom

if i'm missing any software apktool won't compile without errors or it won't finally start cause it checks all needed sources before starting.

[HELP] theming stock rom to look like CM

greetings,
newbie just want to learn, i dont know if this is in the right place ...
i am former users of G-FIT CM 7 by tj_style, and now switched to Lenovo S890 which have Mediatek MT6577 chipset. many variants of the chipset, and the source code is not released by vendors, so few developers really developing this phone. and now I missed the CM look and feel.
my question:
1. can stock rom (or lewa os) modified to look like CM?
2. I've tried to use UOT Kitchen to theming SystemUI, but didnt give any different, only change icon.
(I uploaded the framework-res.apk, lenovosystemui.apk, lenovo-res.apk (to replace twframework)
targets / objectives :
1. change the look of the stock-rom / lewa rom (only two of these are available) to look like CM.
2. add reboot, recovery when the power button is pressed (see some tutorials to change framework-res.apk, but stuck in the "where to put this, where to put that, because the tutorial that I found almost entirely specific to a particular device, and I do not understand patterns / rules in android)
3. use some CM applications (calendar, dialer, etc.), for this, if it could be done with just replace /system/framework and /system/app from CM to Stock Rom?
information relating to the above matters are expected (links, info, guide, hopefully someone will give direct way of how to accomplish my objectives above).
thank you,
jacknb1ack

UP UP
please anyone ?

At lot of guides are so unless you can find one specific to your device you need to try and figure it out, but most apks are similar in regards to how you edit them so just decompile a few and examine them and you'll get a general idea. My SystemUI.apk and yours for example will be different, but certain xmls from each are going to be quite similar. Lot's of info and links here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069287

thanks ... 1 more question, if i want to learn by comparing two systemUI.apk from different rom, is it okay to install both framework-res.apk in apktools ?
ex : i want to try comparing Lewa systemUI and stock SystemUI, i need to install framework-res.apk first to decompile systemui.apk (am i right in this or it is actually not needed ? )
thanks,
jacknb1ack

You can, but it will overwrite the first one, install you're own first and just use that, if you have an issue trying to decompile another from another Phone then you know you need to install the resources. This is why I love Virtuous Ten, as you can install multiple resources.

apk file is already compiled so I don't think you will be able to edit the whole project just by importing it. You can open your file with WinRAR to retrieve a specific file and then edit it.

Thanks Dezach; How do I find and modify a build.gradle file from the extracted file. I need to modify it before modifying manifest file for my admob integration process. Thanks

You need to have the sourse code. This cannot be done by simple open the apk with winrar or similar programs. You need to decompile the apk to have access to source code. There are a lot of tools for this job in Android section("development and hacking" and "software development"), but is better if you can get the source code from online developers.

You can not do it. Gradle is a build tool. There are no gradle files in your .apk
