1) Use Advanced ApkTool v4.1.0 and install it on your computer,
2) Download apktool v2.0.1 and rename it apktool.jar,
2) Replace the old apktool.jar by the new one in 1-BDfreak,
3) Launch Advanced ApkTool, install the framework, decompile your apk, do your modifications, recompile with sign and zipalign,
4) Open your new apk (with winrar for instance) and replace the META-INF folder and androidmanifest.xml by the ones of your old apk.
That's all
thanks..can you tell me what zipalign means and does? because previously i was just doing recompile and sign and i wasnt getting any problems

Just google it
zipalign is an archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
Nice guide bro. Btwn signing and zip align is not necessary..

I have used this method, but soon as you copy from the original application AndroidManifest.xml that some values do not work. This also limits the modification miozliwosci app

I tried afair few and many wouldn't work or threw up errors. Some wouldn't decompile with the classes.dex in there (meaning you couldn't get to the smali files).
I'd been looking around for ages and stumbled upon this. Credit really does go to whoever I downloaded it from initially but I have no idea who it is! The Read_Me.txt is my own!

Looks like something you changed isn't compiling?
You should run it like the commands in the Read_Me because java -jar apktool.jar aren't the commands I tested with. The apktool.bat does things different to that was well
Try this:
Hold shift and right click in that folder. Choose "Open command window from here" and type apktool b secsettings new/SecSettings.apk
That will put your built apk in a folder called "new". Though I really do prefer the way I laid out there.

Try swapping the compile and decompile around, then? I had to do that earlier for some reason.

I think you can find enough documentation about theming here on xda.
The xmls are quite logical if u take your time to read .
Offcourse there is android open source project home page where u can find refferences on what all tags mean and do .

Permission is GENERALLY needed for using something to build another thing, not for same ROM according to me. If permission was to be asked for even contribution, there would have been no themes for several ROMs

Hello everyone,I've been using Miui for a 3 month and I love Miui roms
But there's a little thing that I always wanted.Using every single themes on miui roms.
So that day came and I just created a simple application :victory:
Application developed with Visual Basic Express in Windows 8.I'm not expert programmer but I made my best.
Here's a simple screenshoot of application
Changelog
Beta 0.2 :
*"This is not theme apk" error fixed.
*Mini icon preview fixed.
*Fixed app crash without images
Beta 0.1 :
*First release
Need net framework 4 for use
Simple Usage:
1.Click File>Open>Apk.file for choose apk
2.When read complete edit some description and choose some preview images if you want.
Click application for change icons if you want.
Addding new applications will soon.
3.Click File>Save>Save as theme and that's it.
4.Import theme from theme app in miui
5.Go mix and choose icons
Simple isnt it ?
Thanks:
Codeplex for creating awesome dotnetzip library.I didnt include in exe file.I didnt rename dll file.I support their work :good:
Notes:
I didnt create an installer for beta versions.All you have to is unrar archive and open .exe file
Do not delete .dll or you cant open application.
Dont forget this is still BETA and please review about application.
I'll try this out and get back too you

Small up for this awesome tool
PlayStore 5.0.31 decompiled and compiled Play Store files from EMSpilot
Now you can decompile mod theme and compile. You must use APKTOOL RC2.
APKTOOL RC2 Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755243
Enjoy!!
Download Here: PlayStore 5.0.31
Please don't forget to hit thanks!!!!
This fixed Play Store 5.0.31 APK works perfect with APKTOOL RC2 and the proper resources. You do not need to delete anything from values-v21/styles.xml or any other xml. If you are having to do this then you have a problem with your APKTOOL setup or resources!!!
Ok so I see that quit a few people are using the wrong resources aka framework-res.apk. So here is a zip of my entire RC2 setup with the proper framework-res.apk included. Make sure you type at the command prompt: apktool if framework-res.apk. then proceed.
Also make sure you are taking the APK from the dist folder in the zip to decompile.
Download: APKTOOL RC2 Setup
For those of you that are having problems with values-v21/styles.xml. Look for the following lines: There may be more but I am just explaining why you are having problems.
Line 46: <item name="android:findOnPageNextDrawable">@android:drawable/ic_find_next_holo_dark</item>
Line 50: <item name="android:findOnPageNextDrawable">@android:drawable/ic_find_next_holo_dark</item>
Line 159: <item name="android:textEditNewActionPopupShare">@android:drawable/ic_find_next_holo_dark</item>
What we see here is that APKTOOL is looking for the resource in framework-res.apk. All 3 are a drawable png "ic_find_next_holo_dark". If this is not present in the framework-res.apk you used with the "if Command". It won't work.
Please also thank djdarkknight96 for his contribution and help!
Amaign work to take the time to figure out all the issues and how to overcome them and make this available for us simple themers to do something with it..
My hat is tipped off to you sir!
That was fast! Great work EMSpilot. Many, many, are grateful.

No Errors, you need ot use the Apktool RC2, linked in the OP, and this thing has no issue compiling.
Also, make sure you have at least Framework 4.4.2 or above loaded..

@EMSpilot, would you mind sharing the specifics of what you did to achieve this? did you modify apktool source?

No I did not modify APKTOOL source. I used APKTOOL RC2 as mentioned in the OP. If you decompile my PlayStore 5.0.31 and Google's stock PlayStore 5.0.31 you can use WinMerge or Beyond Compare to see my changes.

Well I'm using CM11 framework and the correct aapt and on building its giving me attr errors in v21 folder. I know I'm doing it right but might need a different framework I assume.
Thoughts?

Yes it will only work with the proper resources aka framework-res.apk. Here is a link to my entire RC2 Setup with the proper framework-res.apk.
APKTOOL RC2 Setup
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, I figured I would share something that I made along with the help of another developer friend @dwitherell
You must have apktool setup in the Windows path to run from anywhere
How it works:
unzip files
copy the scripts folder to the root of c:\
double click compile.reg and decompile.reg, this will add the entries to the registry
You can decompile and compile up to 10 at once. Not sure why its limited to 10.
This is tested working on Windows 10. Please let me know if it works for other versions as I will add that to the description.
Please do NOT ask how to setup apktool, you need to already know that much.
whats included in the zip...
compile.reg
decompile.reg
Maximum level of decompiling raised (V2)
scripts folder containing both .bat files
Download it here
Download V2 with raised level of decompiling here
Now to use it:
On an apk, right click and you will see a new option called Decompile. Select that, then it will decompile it in the folder you currently are
On an already decompiled apk folder, right click and Compile option will appear. Select that and it will compile the apk
Maxed_Apktool.reg
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"MultipleInvokePromptMinimum"=dword:00000999
thanks @Licaon_Kter for the addition.
decompile.reg
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Run script]
@="Run &script"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Decompile\command]
@="\"C:\\scripts\\decompile2.bat\" \"%1\""
decompile2.bat
Code:
@echo off
set args=%*
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set "cmd=!cmdcmdline!"
set "cmd2=!cmd:*%~f0=!"
set "args=!cmd2:~0,-1! "
set "args=!args:* =!"
for %%F in (!args!) do (
if "!!"=="" endlocal
apktool.bat d -f "%%~F"
)

Awesome I'll have to try this later ?
Great thank you!
Amazing work! Can I recompile an apk which hasnt been decompiled with this method? I've the folder so I can recompile?
I got it set up and running last night, works great! Makes things easier and faster. Just make sure you have apktool up and running correctly first.
DOWNLOADING for further test.. i'll report back later
thanks..

No, it has to be decompiled to recompile it again.
What is the newest version of APKtool? I found 2.2.2 on the site, but it seems to have issues with the Nougat files for my LG V20.
I've used it on Windows 10 and Ubuntu, same results.

Try that one. It says dirty, but that hasn't affected anything. I got that from somewhere when the v20 first came out.
And its what i am using for my v20 work. So i know that one will work.

Thanks! Have you done anything with SystemUI? I ran into issues after modifying it for 3Minit support.

Good find. Ill try that and see what happens.
According to the link it should be 15 not 10. I'm not at my pc now to test it.
But it says if you change it to 16, that's Microsoft's unlimited amount.
Maybe i can incorporate that into my registry mods.
Hi all, if this can decompile and re compile, can i change or modify a camera app to support 1440x2560 for lg g3 ? It currently only display well in 1080x1920, so i have to downgrade my display setting. Can someone be kind enough to direct me to which files or folder to begin with and do i have to create or modify some xml code ? Thanks

You're going to have to search for some camera mods. This can decompile the apk sure. But I've never edited the camera.
Thanks, nice tool.

Would you mind taking a look at these decompiled SystemUI APKs? I can compile the US_LG one fine, and also the TMO one. But the ATT one tells me there's missing resources, but all the edits made and files added are identical.
