Ok, so I've been decompiling and recompiling apks for a few hours and I've run into some problems:
First off here's what I have - android sdk installed, platform for 2.2 installed.
And have all the paths right so I can execute almost anything from terminal.
Now... I was modifying the gingerbread launcher and I have problems.
First I installed the framework-res.apk from one of jerrys roms
apktool if C:\Users\Anthony\Desktop\workspace\framework-res.apk
Then decompile
apktool d C:\………\workspace\Launcher2.apk
Then I editted what I wanted to.
Then recompile
apktool b C\………\Launcher2
Nothing goes wrong with building. It compiles cleanly and there's the apk sitting in the \dist folder. But when I go to put it on my phone running backside, it doesn't work at all. Its as if the Launcher no longer exists... all I did to the code was change a few pngs and changed one xml so I'm assuming I've done something wrong.
I may be doing other things wrong, but is the reason its not working because I only have the 2.2 platform installed but I was de- and re- compiling 2.3 apks??? I would have thought it would give me an error. I'm stumped but now addicted to building apps
