The title says it all. I have looked all over Google and haven't been able to find out how to do it for 4.2. Is it possible yet?
 
All my stuff is on my work computer so I can't test it but I did manage to decompile the NFC app last week with no errors.
 
Yeah I think it might just be the framework-res. apk let me know if you fund anything out. I would appreciate it
 
Successfully decompiled and re-complied framework-res this morning.
What version of apk multi-tool are you using? I'm on 1.0.1.0.
Did you install framework and systemui files first using the setup script?
 
Well i don't think so haha...how exactly did you set it up? And yes i believe that is the version that I'm using... I just downloaded it straight from the apk-multi tool website. Please share how to set this thing up if you don't mind Sir :)
 
Ok i'm assuming you have deodexed framework-res and systemui?
1 - Copy the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk into the folder named "other" inside your multi-tool folder.
2 - Double click the setup.bat file and a command window will appear giving you various options. Go for option 2 (install framework-res files)
3 - You should then see a list of more options. Go for option 1 (install framework-res)
4 - Repeat step 2 then select option 4 (install systemui)

Now you are ready to decompile. Using script.bat switch to decompile mode (option 26). Then decompile using option 9. Re-compile using option 11.
 
ok i got everything set up and it worked the way you said it would...just one problem. Switching the decompile mode isnt allowing me to access the file that i need lol. And if you dont change it it errors out. Im trying to get into the framework-res/res/values folder annnnndddd its not there lol

any other ideas?
