Hey all. Having a little issue recompiling an APK, and thought I would see if anyone had any other suggestions beyond the irksome workaround I'm currently using.
Anyway, here's the situation: I'm working on a minor update to my theme, currently working with the SystemUI.apk. I decompiled the file, made the changes I wanted to, and am now trying to button things up. One of the things I changed was I .9'ed a background image. Here's the problem: when I try to recompile, APK Multi-tool loses its breakfast, lunch and dinner for the last three weeks, and spews out a huge list of errors (400+). Because of either the way Linux Terminal works, or due to something with the Linux version of APK Multi-tool (or a combination of both), I can't see the whole list, and past experiences have taught me that a lot of times, the first error is the real problem.
Through trial-and-error, I've found that the background image that I converted to a .9 (and other .9s that I've edited) is what seems to be causing the issue. When I copy over a non-.9 version of the background image, everything compiles easy-cheesy. I can understand the background image, but what really blows my brain is that the other .9s I made changes to are causing problems, as well. Both are .9s; the only difference between the edited and non-edited versions is I either added or removed text...and yet the non-edited .9s compile, and the edited ones cause multitool to spill its guts in errors. If I can help it, I would really rather not convert the edited .9s to non-.9 pngs (especially since they're supposed to be .9s to begin with), but right now, that seems to be my only option.
Thanks in advance for the help.
