Build framework-res.apk?

I have already dexcode the framework-res.apk, the tool which I used is named "apktool".
And I have done it like this,
apktool if framework-res.apk;
apktool if twframework-res.apk;
apktool d framework-res.apk;
There is no any warnings or errors alarm, and out for framework-res directory and resources.
After I modify some part of *.xml, I type
apktool b reamework-res
it got some errors.
Please help me, why that happend?

do a search and check out daneshm90's apk manager, not in this forum but i think it should be in another forum. the latest apk manager 4.9 beta final allows you to modify both pngs, and xmls. just follow his instructions there.
very easy to use. hope this helps.

At the beginning, thank you for your help. I have used the application, that's amazing. But the same thing happend, when I used this application to make the one framework-res.apk(of course I modified the *.xml) and update it to the device. That's so strange.
My step is as below:
Option 10, certainly I unpack the twframework-res.apk without any errors. And then........
Option 11, I coded and repack the framework-res.apk, then type yes with enter twice.
If I do it in the wrong way? Or what's your schedule?

OP, you have problem with twframwork-res.apk OR with framework-res.apk? Both are different...
Did you delete all those files that you have modified in the keep folder? Maybe you can try increasing the heap size to 512 instead of default 64mb.

STK，So I'll try

Why in OTHER folder? I think I'ved used apk manager once and it wasn't far from what i use now. normaly, we put the apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder.
Also this lines, why does it has dropbox in it?

I never had errors like that. Only if I made a mistake editing xml's, and it logs clearly where i've gone wrong. it must be the tool you use to decompile. What version is it? And is the APk you are trying to decompile deodexed?
I have Android SDK and Java installed. I will upload the one i use to decompile, try it.
I will attach as well a compiled but untouched framework-res from Zeus v2.1. See if you can compile/decompile it as I do. If not, you're missing something. The tool itself, java, or ASDK.

it works now dude thank you.

Good... happy tweaking bro.

how do i install that android sdk? i think thats the problem why its not compiling

I had those errors even when I had everything installed.However I noticed it doesn't happen with untouched APKs...so if you try to decompile and compile the framework-res.apk from Redy's v20N package it will work but if you try to do that with the Zeus framework it will give those errors even if you don't modify it,just my 2 cents on what I experienced
EDIT: Also tried the manual version using CMD with apktool..same errors

Nope, the one attached is untouched from Zeus v2.1. Just now I decompiled/compiled it and had no errors and uploaded (See date modified on properties). it must be the tool you both use.
See his logs? says "cannot load aapt" aapt.exe is the problem inside the tool. will post the link of the issue.

Thanks for the tool Gabwerkz it works now

See. I think I posted the download link of it somewhere in Zeus thread when he posted. George must have missed it. I trold him to try it, APK Multi Tool.
I think timvdhoorn doesn't have problems compiling. As he compiled a theme before. Only mistakes in modifying xml's, smali's or images he'll have errors or will not decompile.
Happy theming..

Yeah pretty much the smallest mistake in editing XML's can cause errors in compiling the apk..just trial and error

i have searched on forum. and it brings me here. my old phone section
i am trying to decompile and compile stock deodexed systemui.apk
i can decompile but cant compile (without any changes)

-if i dont change anything in decompiled systemui, it gives same error. it is not about changing xmls or smalis-

FAQ's​Why can't we use Apktool???
Well, you can, but it's more difficult, that's it.
Why do you say "must use 1.4.1 apktool version"??
The reason why is that since 1.4.2 version, apktool generate java code while recompiling process is going on, and this lead to errors that 9/10 makes decompile process fail

Of course, I install framework which copy from my device framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
and installed.
why?
I am using window 7 64bits, International S3, Rom null18.1, LLC

I already decompiled with the option 6 and edit some string after that recompile(option 7). I follow this instruction.
do you mean if I just edit string, it will not compile properly?

even I did not change any source. I just decompile and recompile, still get the error...

It can also be becoz of corrupt apk, Bro try to decomplie pure stock unmodified apks and check wether u get the error on them !

but the apk, which I want to compile, install on the phone properly and work properly.
Now, i am compiling and decompiling framework-res.apk.... (for test)
I will report later

[TOOL]CM Theme to XThemeEngine Converter / Porter

You can stop F5-ing.
What's that all about? Didn't that exist already?
This tool converts an CM10 / AOKP / ... theme to an XThemeEngine (showthread.php?t=2240180 , I'm still "too new to add links" I guess).
The second post of that thread is just an instruction post. It tells you how to port the theme manually. I've made the script on base of that tutorial and then ported it to Java code so it's cross-platform.
The MAIN PROS:
- Easier with graphical user interface!
- Generates the missing redirections.xml for you!
- Doesn't need the SampleTheme.apk and doesn't need any IDE like Eclipse!
One-Time Set-Up:
1. Download apktool with signapk and testkeys in the same folder.
2. Download the .jar
I've removed the instructions for the shell script - the .sh itself is still inside the upload.zip.
Everytime you run it:
Select all the needed files. The GUI will help you.
Also, if aapt isn't inside of your $PATH, use the optional file chooser for that.
The folder containing aapt is usually platform-tools in the SDK folder.
WARNING: Any damage to your device is NOT MY FAULT. Any damage to any of the apks is NOT MY FAULT. Any damage to the Linux, NT or GNU Kernel is NOT MY FAULT. Any usage of Chuck Norris in this post is NOT MY FAU~~~~UU~~ IT'S MY FAULT!
WARNING: The output is A RAW PORT (except the generated redirections if missing) that may not work on some devices. Please port the .apk manually if needed.
When you encounter any problems, please reply with device, Android version and input theme (link to thread and APK if possible). Thanks!
Known problems (legend: p- problem c-- cause w--- workaround f--- fix) :
p- Applying theme failed.
c-- It's not my fault if the themers use separate xml files and / or forgett redirections.xml .
w--- Create one on your own and modify the code inside the .sh file (you can't overlook it...). It's easier than it sounds. Just replace ./tmpst/res/xml/redirections.xml with the path to your own one.
f--- Update to 2.0+
c-- The theme needs a device-specifiic redirections.xml due to Samsungs / Sonys / ... package and resource stuff.
w--- Port the theme on your own. That's really sad - that's why I've added it to my TODO list.
Changelog:
1.0: Initial release
1.1: Added missing zipalign
1.2: Added code snippet that copy-pastes the sampletheme apk's redirections.xml if there is no one. Unfournately it only has an entry for SystemUI so the code should be modified by the user easily to load a custom redirections.xml instead.
2.0: Ported to Java (.jar) for cross-platform support; removed zipalign for some time; added auto-generation of redirections.xml
ToDo: (* = focused, + = added)
+ Autogenerate redirections.xml if missing (aka Fix failed applying theme).
+ Fix failed applying theme. Some debug options in XThemeEngine would be helpfull... :/ (Edit: See the problem "Applying theme failed.")
+ Make more efficient
+ Add missing zipalign (if requested by too many users) (Edit: Just. Do. It.)
+ Make thread "first post" more user-friendly
+ Port it to a commandline .jar or GUI .jar (Edit: I prefer GUI .jar)
* Find device-specifiic redirections.xml and implement an option to choose from them. Yes, I mean you, Samsung and Sony!
- Add images to the first post
- Re-addd the zipaligning

I am verry sorry if this post is in the wrong place. I tought it would fit the "Themes" subforum because it's a theme converter and I've seen some ideas for it here, too. I'm just another dumb user, I know so just correct me. :/
What's that all about? Didn't that exist already?
This tool converts an CM10 / AOKP / ... theme to an XThemeEngine (showthread.php?t=2240180 , I'm still "too new to add links" I guess).
The second post of that thread is just an instruction post. It tells you how to port the theme manually. I've made the script on base of that.
One-Time Set-Up (notice that file / folder names are caps-sensitive on Linux!):
1. Download the convert.sh and make it runnable (I won't tell you how to do it because it's basic )
2. Make a new folder named "apktool" next to the .sh
3. Download apktool + signapk .jars (I won't tell you because I've seen some removed links from mods here and there ). Put apktool + signapk .jars into the apktool folder.
4. Download the sampletheme.apk and NAME IT "sampletheme.apk".. wow. Place it next to the .sh and apktool folder.
Now:
1. (Re)Place your input.apk (must be named so, if I've got time or help for making it load from arguments I'll implemt that) next to the .sh
2. Run the .sh script in Terminal
3. ....?
4. Profit. A new file named output.apk appeared. You may want to install it as normal app.

I will add images after I've released the .jar file which is cross-platform. Yesterday some testing went wrong (aapt not found, mysterious .xml after package name in code-made redirections.xml). I hope I'll be able to upload the .jar today.

Can you please give me your logcat log and device? Maybe you have got one of the Sony or Samsung devices that need special device-dependent redirections :/
I was able to apply the theme. On ICS.

Maybe it's a problem with the signing... The temporary apk you see gets signed and replaced. Have you got the signer and test keys in the apktool folder? Maybe I'll include the signer and test keys.

Done!
What the hell i must do ?

ApkTool has got problems running. Guessing it doesn't even work when running in cmd / terminal:
ApkTool needs the Android SDK tools installed to function properly (actually only aapt but it's still wiser to install the whole toolset).
And with installed I mean installed and inside the $PATH.
There should be tutorials about installing the Android SDK tools (or just aapt).
Another thing I would try (guessing it WORKS in cmd / terminal): Just place the aapt binary next to the ApkTool.jar / converting tool .jar as Java's exec default path should check for files in the working directory (where you run the .jars from), too.
When these don't work, just tell me.

so it's necessary to install Android SDK ??

Unfortunately, yes. You should've been noticed about that when downloading ApkTool as it's not my fault but ApkTool's fault.

Is this still active?
Are you able to create a stand alone jar where you can just drop package xmls into a folder, run the jar and it creates a redirections.xml from the package xmls in the folder ?

Yeah, I could do it when I find some more free time. I've been busy with another project.
Also, I'll try to make the project open-source by putting it on GitHub. Maybe other people would want to help me.

better you run apktool on cmd directly rather then using batch applications
