I can't compile lewa-res.apk (sdk 16) from LeWaOS - bootloop

[iBotPeaches]

Original issue 502 created by info@danbar.cz on 2013-08-10T10:21:55.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. adb pull (/framework/framework-res.apk, lewa-res.apk, mediatek-res.apk, /system/SystemUI.apk )

1. install from apktool this 4 files. (apktool if framework-res.apk), etc.
2. framework-res.apk = 1.apk, mediatek-res.apk = 2.apk, lewa-res.apk = 9.apk, SystemUI.apk = 127.apk
3. apktool d lewa-res.apk
4. nothing edit, only apktool b lewa-res
5. In 7z copy from original app this 2 things (META-INF, AndroidManifest.xml) to new compilate version.
6. New version of lewa-res.apk copy in totalcommander to rom in zip. Install in TWRP 2.5.0.0 or CWM 6.0.3.0. or Lewa Frog recovery.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After install rom in zip with this edited (only decompilated, and compilated) lewa-res.apk I have bootloop (freeze logo on booting system).

If i translate other app from /framework/ (framework-res.apk, mediatek-res.apk) or app from /system/ (as Settings.apk), everything are OK (same step by step).

I need OK lewa-res.apk (without bootloop) :-) Please help me...

phone: Lenovo P770
ROM: LeWA OS - http://static.lewatek.com/yun/Lenovo_P770_JB/LeWa_Lenovo_P770_JB_ROM_13.08.09_40a3d.zip

Windows 8 64 bit

I'm not going through an entire ROM :p too busy for that. Meet me half way please.

Upload all apk's in the /system/framework
and the affected apk.

3. to folder jBart\data\frameworks_single\ copy (unzip) fake3.apk up to fake8.apk (from number 2) - zip file)
4. to same folder copy framework-res.apk, framework.jar, mediatek-res.apk from original lewa rom (zip)
5. in JBart choose Single file, set path to lewa-res.apk, and tap to Decompile
6. in folder jBART\lewa-res.apk.bzproject\decompiled\lewa-res.apk\ edit file apktool.yml by notepad++
7. search "- 1"
   8] replace to:

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 8
  9) save this file
  10) to folder jBART\lewa-res.apk.bzproject\decompiled\lewa-res.apk\res\ add your translate (as usualy)
