apktool error while decompiling .apk

6

I got this error while I was decompiling an .apk by apktool. Although It doesn't appear for all apk files. Also I had installed these three frameworks:

framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
twframework-res.apk

I tried two different versions of framework-res.apk but it didn't help. What should I do?

Thank you

First, please make sure you have upgraded your apktool to the latest version, you can follow the instruction here to install it.

Then you need to upgrade your framework file. When I tried to decompile some apk file, it will show error like this

Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.err.UndefinedResObject: resource spec: 0x01010462

It is caused by your framework file didn't support the latest android version, I solved the problem by:

  1. delete the origin framwork file, mine is located in

I: Loading resource table from file: /Users/csc/Library/apktool/framework/1.apk

  1. Get a proper framework apk

    Take my phone(nexus 5, android 5.1) for exmaple, you can find the framework apk in /system/framework/, and it called framework-res.apk. Using adb pull to copy it on your computer, rename it to 1.apk, copy it to your framework file directory.

  2. Try again and problem solved.

    here is the detailed origin tutorial.
