"entry index is larger than available symbols" error about android-apktool HOT 28 CLOSED

Issue 19 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 20 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 30 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 35 has been merged into this issue.

Issue 33 has been merged into this issue.

Lemme know if rebuilt files work properly. I failed to rebuild them 1:1, I 
think it 
should be ok, but who knows...

Issue as reported in #30 no longer occurs for me when building 
com.htc.resources.apk 
but I get the following instead:

W/ResourceType( 2320): Bad string block: last string is not 0-terminated
D:\DavidM\Android\APKTool\com.htc.resources\res\values\styles.xml:6: error: 
Error: No 
resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:textColor'.

Not sure which "string block" is being referred to but the xml file seems fine.

I got problem simlar to Comment 7 for Phone.apk posted in Issue 33.

Got something like that
/ResourceType(19101): Bad string block: last string is not 0-terminated
/home/lado/development/android/apktool/Phone/dst/res/values/styles.xml:4: error:
Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr

Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 
'android:windowFrame'.
/home/lado/development/android/apktool/Phone/dst/res/values/styles.xml:8: error:
Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr

Here my Phone.apk from Motorola Milestone 2.1update1

Ahh, I know, what it is. You need aapt tool from newest SDK, because new 
Android 
framework is not compatible with older aapt.

I will update install packages.

(2010.06.04):

  * updated install packages to 2.2r01-1 version. Apktool 1.2.0 requires newer aapt 
tool, so you must update to use it.

Let me know, whether this worked for you :-)

Great job.  Works for me!

This problem is still here.
Sprint HTC Hero CDMA (2.1-update1)

building framework-res

/home/astar/android/kitchen/build/111/res/values/public.xml:2471: error: Public 
entry
identifier 0x1080338 entry index is larger than available symbols (index 824, 
total
symbols 824).
/home/astar/android/kitchen/build/111/res/values/public.xml:2471: error: Public
symbol drawable/selected_day_background declared here is not defined.

Could you upload this file?

Here it is

$ apktool d framework-res.apk 
I: Loading resource table...
I: Decoding resources...
I: Copying assets and libs...

$ apktool b framework-res
W: Could not find sources
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Building apk file...

Could you verify, that you are using apktool 1.2.0? Just run "apktool" and 
version is 
on top of usage help.

Ooops. I'm really sorry.
I've used old apktool.jar (1.1.2)

Works like a charm! Thank you.

1.1.2 doesn't exist ;-)

I consider it fixed too, works for me! You're the man, thanks.

Okay so I have the newest of the newest aapt. Got it today, but for some reason 
I still cannot build. I am having the same errors. 
"/Users/****/Desktop/framework-res/res/values/public.xml:2345: error: Public 
symbol string/throttled_notification_message declared here is not defined."
Any clue where this could be coming from? I'm on Mac OS X Leopard and solved 
the whole java problem already. I was also having a problem with greasekit 
interfering. Idk why that would be involved at all.

Do not use the latest aapt. Use the one from SDK version 8.

[deleted comment]

thank you I realized I was using the aapt from a different platform-tools 
folder. not even sure where it came from. again thank you. new problem has 
appeared though. but this one I think I can figure out :P

same problem than the others......
used the latest and the aapt form SDK version 8 (got apktool 1.3.2)
--> recompiling a framework from streakdroid 1.9---> its andorid 2.2.2
