[GUIDE] How to decompile an apk <updated w/ guide><updated with compiling>
How to decompile an .APK:
Step 1:
Download >>This<< this is a tool for decompiling an .apk (i take no credit for this tool i did not make it i cant remember where i got it but the credit goes to the maker)
Step 2:
Now go to your C:\ directory create a new folder (doesnt matter what you name it) now extract the apk_manager to the folder that you created.
Step 3:
Download: >>This<< and also >>This<<
(whatever you are using 7zip or winrar, go into settings and integration and check the .BZ2 file extension)
Step 4:
Extract both files to the other folder in apk_manager
Step 5:
Plug your phone into your computer and pull framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from your /system/framework/ directory and place both files in the other folder
Step 6:
open up command prompt and enter
cd/
cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)
cd other
apktool if framework-res.apk
Step 7:
cd/
cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)
cd other
apktool if twframework-res.apk
Step 8:
now grab the apk that you want to decompile and place it in the place-apk-here-for-modding folder
Step 9:
open script now enter 22 into command press enter, press corresponding number for your apk for ex. 1 then press enter, now press 9 then enter... APK should now be decompiling (decompiled apk should be in the projects folder)
[size=+2]Compiling[/size]
You do nearly the same thing for compiling an apk press 22 and enter to select what project you want to do, then 11; your apk should be compiled
Let me know if anyone has any problems with this
I like how you were excited enough to post about making a post later.
Lol I was going to do it then but I got sidetracked...

ok....updated post w/ the guide
Going to try this method...
I did my framework-res.apk last night, font color changed for the pop-up windows. seemed to work fine, but then once it booted, i noticed that my volume bar was showing the loading spinner instead of the slider (whoops) and I was unable to get to the volume controls due to FC'ing.

alos note you will have to delete the resourace arsc out of the apk u decompled and let the apk tool recompile a new one.. espcaly so if using a apk from a diffrent phone
Yeah I replaced the res directory, the manifest and the resources file with the one that apk tool compiled... I hadn't seen this post until I had already tried another method... Wife sprained her ankle so I won't have the time to try it for a couple of days.
Can I add a color to the colors.xml file the point to it in the styles.xml item?

how do I get the xml to stick when changing colors.xml in the value folder? When you get to the step to delete from the "keep" folder the value folders aren't there, they are hidden.

Just tried your guide and it worked succesfully! Seems like all the files decompiled - I just needed to have a quick look at the decompiled AndroidManifest.xml and that file was decompiled.
I am curious about the error I received.
That's the console output (Windows 7 x64 command line):

Could you point me in any direction how to get rid of this error?
Like I said everything seems to decompile correctly but still I don't like errors
EDIT:
In the end I downloaded apktool by itself and it ran without any errors. Don't know what happened there..
when trying to preform step 6 i get the msg " 'java' not recognized as and internal or external command operable program or batch file."
read on a post in a diff forum that java2sdk was needed so i installed this and still getting the same command error...
what am i doing wrong?
Can this be used to translate system menus?

thanks for the post man!
I use apk multi tool, myself, but whichever tool you use just be sure to have the latest adb and Java sdk installed.

You realize, Java has to be in your path. Also, you should also install twframework.

I use apktool. It works on all platforms and it it uses a later bug free version. Apk manager is a big batch file that uses an old extremely buggy edition of apktool Yes all decompile tools are based on smali, baksmali, and apktool. In fact apktool requires Smali and baksmali to decompile classes.dex and odex files.
The steps to use apktool are.
1. Download apktool(Google it)
2. palace it in an apktool folder on your desktop or somewhere.
3. Download any thing else on the website.for your OS.
4. Unzip everything and add them to your folder. Add the folder to your path or CD to it every time
5. Run terminal or CMD
6.TYPE
apktool if (path to framework Res.apk)
Apktool if (path to twframework Res.apk)
(Now you never will have to worry about dependencies unless you have a new from)
Apktool d apkorjarfile output folder
(Example....
.. apktool d /users/airfluip/desktop/Settings.apk /users/airfluip/desktop/decompiledsettings )
Now it shows progress. It may take some time.
If you get PNG errors, it will still decompile, but copy the original drawable-hdpi folder Into the decompiled one after decompile
Next make changes
Next
Apktool b /foldertodecompiled.
You should have the apk in the "apk" folder in the decompile folder

This is a problem with your system and java not getting along. ensure you have the latest edition of java installed. If so uninstall it and get a fresh download from the java Website
If the problem persists...um ahhhhh back up your important data and do a system restore? or ask someone else I'm not an i.t. Expert but a fresh start is always nice....

Hi guys
I need your help.
I'm adding Hebrew support to Valhalla Final.
I was able to decompile all files using APKTOOL like you explained
Added all files RES\Values-IW (with strings taken from SGS-i9000 ROM)
but I get error while trying to re-compile these files :
* Browser
* Contacts
* Framework-res
* Street
* Talk2
* Touchwizcalendar
* Tweaks
Also all the APKs that I successfully recompiled - do not work and not appear in the phone and cause Force Close when I launch them.
10x!
Hello,
I searched a lot how to enable the rotation of the lockscreen without third-party application, and I finally found.
I share this change with you.
This operation works with all phones that work with GG / ICS (I have not tested on Cupcake / Donut. / Froyo / Honeycomb).
This tutorial seems very long, but this is explained in great detail for better understanding and to be accessible to all.
First and foremost: I am not responsible if you break, or if others problems occur on your phone. You and only you are responsible. Thank you
You must be root to apply the changes. Here's what happens on my Nexus S:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
For this we will use apktool which will allow us to uncompil the framework-res.apk of your ROM and adb to replace the original framework.
Note: I see throughout this tutorial as well as adb and java (to run apktool) are already installed on your computer and the drivers too of your phone to work with adb.
Due to a bug in the framework of apktool ICS we are obliged to decompile the framework-res.apk with apktool 4.2 and recompile with apktool 4.3.
Download: apktool 4.2
Download: apktool 4.3
Note: Download in the same folder as adb, it's will simplify the task later.
In our case, we will consider that our working folder is: C:\android_debug
I recommend doing the same to be simpler.
apktool and adb only work with the command prompt, so it must be run.
To do this:
Windows XP: Start -> Run -> cmd.exe
Windows Vista / Seven: -> Start -> in the search bar type cmd.exe and press Enter
This window is displayed (a few lines of text can change, as the first of which is that your version of Windows):
We see that the command prompt is placed directly into your default user folder (here C:\Users\Thomas), so you have to stand in our working folder:
cd c:\android_debug
We will have to decompile framework-res.apk, if you have the rom zip place it in the same directory, otherwise it must be extracted from your phone.
Connect your phone to your computer and then, still in the command prompt (cmd) write:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Note: if say toyou it can not find adb ... it's either you have him not placed in C:\android_debug where or that you should write its extension: adb.exe
The command will be this: adb.exe pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Will be the same for the rest of the tutorial, write adb.exe rather than adb.
The framework-res.apk is now in your working folder.
We will "install" the framework-res.apk to let apktool use it then:
java -jar apktool43.jar if framework-res.apk
There will now be extracted with apktool 4.2
java -jar apktool42.jar d framework-res.apk
If all goes well you usually this:
We must update the necessary files to activate rotation on the lockscreen.
Go to the following folder: C:\android_debug\framework-res\res\values and open this file with your favorite files editor: bools.xml
Search config_enableLockScreenRotation value and change the false to true:
Save and close the file.
All changes are made, we will be able to recompile the framework
So back to the command prompt (yes the window of the 1970s )
Type this to run compiling the new framework-res.apk:
java -jar apktool43.jar b framework-res framework-res-new.zip
If all goes well the last message from the command prompt is this:
If you get errors like these:
Nothing serious! apktool just tells you it can not find default translations of some words, but he found in French / Or else.
Note: If you have other errors and framework-res-new.zip is not created is that you made a editing error or that you have the wrong version of apktool.
Now, everything is well and the framework-res-new.zip is created in your working directory (which I recall is C:\android_debug)
The purpose of the step is to replace the file resources.asrc in the original framework-res.apk by the new one placed in framework-res-new.zip
You should open it with your management software zip archives (WinRar here) and then extract the file resources.arsc:
Once the extracted file you can close the archive.
You must rename the file framework-res.apk in framework-res.apk.zip:
When this file is renamed you must open it with your management software archive and then delete the file ressources.arsc:
Leave open the archive and return to your working folder. You must drag the file resources.arsc previously extracted from the archive:
Commit the changes in your management software archive. Rename the file framework-res.apk.zip in framework-res.apk
So we are almost done, this last step is to replace the framework-res.apk in your phone. We will use adb, so back to the command prompt in order to type this:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell reboot
Explanations:
adb remount: allows you to have root privileges on the phone
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk: sends the new framework-res.apk on the phone and replaces the existing one
adb shell reboot: reboot the phone
I hope this tutorial is clear enough and that helped you
For any spelling mistakes thank you for let me know by PM (I'm a french teenager).

Getting error at compile
Hi,
i was following your guide for the ICSSGS 4.2 ROM. when compiling i got a load of errors like:
Exeption in thread "main" brut.Androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutExeption.........
Have you had any experience with this kind of error and do you know how to fix it?
thanks!
Hi,
Have you uncompiled the framework-res.apk with apktool42 ? Then re-compiled with apktool43? Your rom is deodex?
maybe he recompile "apktool d framework-res.apk",instead of framework-res..
I have not got the line "enable lock screen rotation"
I have" bool name="lockscreen_isPortrait">true</bool>"
and changed it to false
EDIT: It didnt' work

Running an HTC Explorer gingerbread 2.3.5
Thanks for your replies, I will try again tonight and let you know if it works. i did in fact recompile to the framework-res.apk . maybe thats the problem.
EDIT: thanks for the tips guys, the problem was the .apk extension when recompiling!
I am very thankful for this. I've wanted this for a long time since my phone is docked horizontal all the time. I even tried reinstalling widget locker to do this, but just never like any of the non stock lock screens as much.
Tip: when doing build to new file named framework-res-new.zip like in instructions, instead build to same file name framework-res.zip
Also need to have aapt.exe in the folder as apktool.
Otherwise I would always get errors otherwise using apktool.
Hello,
It doesn't work on my sgs2 ICS 4.0.3 XWLPG deodex with the Jkay mod.
Edit : I have also tried to modify the line "lockscreen_isPortrait" = true
Still not work
Works very nice with Defy+ and Quarx JB-Rom!
But I have an additional question: Could the notifications while lockscreen be disabled this way too?
great tut

GUIDE
This is a guide to help you de-odex your Jellybean odexed firmware.
As X-ultimate is not working on jellybean firmwares and @Agadoo spends a lot of time deodexing every firmware, I thought this guide can help a lot of people including @Agadoo.
THINGS TO REMEMBER :-
1. I AM “ NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE” FOR ANY SOFT-BRICKS OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES TO YOUR PC OR PHONE
2. WHEN YOU DEODEX YOUR FIRMWARE, SYSTEM WILL WRITE “.dex” FILES IN /data/dalvik-cache, WHICH WILL REDUCE SPACE IN THAT FOLDER.
3.YOU WILL READ THE WHOLE THREAD CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
There is a simple way to deodex your firmware i.e. using universal deodexer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213235). Here, when I say simple, I mean the download and setup of this program is simple.
But a few features are missing in it. Firstly it cannot zipalign after deodexing the firmware. The second problem is a major problem , as far as I think. We have preload partition and a system partition in our phone. The “.apk” and “.odex” files stored in the preload partition, have symlinks in the system folder. It means there are a few “.apk” and “.odex” files in the system folders which are not actually applications but symlinks of those apps in preload folder. So you need to manually sort them out, which is a real pain in your a**. But don’t worry, the below mentioned method is different.
ANOTHER way to deodex, like Universal deodexer....... Carbonite tool (credits- adityaf) --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226160 (ty kingbabasula)
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
This method uses android kitchen (by dsixda) to deodex the firmware. SO ALL THE CREDITS GO TO HIM. Original thread ------- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Setup looks complex because I have given a detailed explanation on how to do it.
The guide is in two parts. First part in first post and the second in the second post.
PART - 1
PREREQUISITES :- (installing cygwin and android kitchen)
1.LATEST VERSION OF JAVA SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON YOUR PC.
2.CYGWIN……….
Go to (http://www.cygwin.com) and download the LATEST setup.exe file TO AVOID ERRORS. (Remember to install in C:\cygwin) SEE BELOW, HOW TO INSTALL.
************************************************************************************************************
Cygwin instructions for dsixda's Android Kitchen
-------------------------------------------------
1) Run the Cygwin setup.exe and select the defaults for the installation paths, such as:
- install from internet
- install to C:\cygwin
2) At the 'Select Packages' screen, go to the 'Search' box to look for the following package:
* gcc4 (found under 'Devel')
- Click on the '+' symbol at the section it's found under
NOTE:- IN THE SELECT PACKAGE SCREEN, UNTICK "HIDE OBSOLETEPACKAGES" IN BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, AND THEN SEARCH FOR "gcc4".
..................Now it would be found under "_obsolete" and not under DEVEL...... (thanks bob for pointing)
- Then find this single package (only the one with this exact name, not multiple similarly-named ones!) and click 'Skip' once so that it changes to show a version number
Go back to the Search box and repeat the above steps for the rest of the packages:
* libmpfr4 (found under 'Libs')
* perl (found under 'Interpreters')
* cpio (found under 'Utils')
* util-linux (found under 'Utils')
* ncurses (found under 'Utils')
* zip (found under 'Archive')
* unzip (found under 'Archive')
* wget (found under 'Web')
3) Press Next to proceed installing these packages.
4) When installation has been completed, click on your new Cygwin desktop shortcut. This will open a terminal session that will run some initialization.
5) With the Cygwin terminal still open, we need to configure the path to the Java application so that it can be executed within Cygwin.
In the terminal, type the command 'java' (without quotes). If it says 'command not found', then read the below. Otherwise, skip this section.
First, make a backup of your .bash_profile file in case you make a mistake later in this procedure.
Enter the following in the terminal:
cp .bash_profile .bash_profile.backup
Next, find out where your java.exe file is and run the appropriate command to add it to your Cygwin path.
For example, my java.exe is found under C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin, so I had to type:
echo "PATH=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Java/jre7/bin:\${PATH}" >> .bash_profile
Modify the command above so that it matches the actual path to your installed Java.
Remember to add a "\" character before any spaces in your path, as shown above.
Type the following so that the file gets loaded (you only need to do this once):
source .bash_profile
There should not be any errors displayed if successful.
(Otherwise, if you made an error in the .bash_profile file, restore your backup by typing: cp .bash_profile.backup .bash_profile, and then try the procedure again)
If done correctly, then when you type 'java' it should display some help information.
6) Your Cygwin is now ready for the kitchen!
************************************************************************************************************
3. Now download the kitchen from dsixda’s github https://github.com/dsixda/Android-Kitchen/tags. (Click the zip option.)
4. Now create a folder kitchen inside C:\cygwin\home\ and extract the kitchen’s zip in that folder. Your kitchen is setup now.

HOW TO DEODEX :-
Requirements……………….
1. Download this zip file which contains two windows application files and updater script. LINK------ http://db.tt/T9Tooxy8
a. Linux disk internals - Install this file.
b. SGS2ext - Just keep it.
c. META-INF - Just keep it.
2. WinRAR
Procedures…………………….
1.Download the Samsung firmware that you want to deodex and Extract the “system.img.md5” and “hidden.img.md5” from the firmware(.tar.md5) with WinRAR. I suggest you extract it in new clean folder. Just minimize this folder.
2.Now right click SGS2ext.jar and open it with java. A window will open. Now drag the system.img.md5 (that you have extracted) from the minimized folder to this window. Let it complete fully. After that reopen SGS2ext do the same with hidden.img.md5. You will get two files in that folder i.e. “system.img.ext4.img” and “hidden.img.ext4.img”.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3.Make a folder by name “WORKING_deodex” inside C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\. The word “WORKING_” should be in capital letters. Copy the META-INF folder that you downloaded to the “WORKING_deodex” folder. Create two new folders inside “WORKING_deodex” folder namely “system” and “preload”.
4.Search and Open the application “DiskInternals Linux Reader”. Select mount image from the left pane. Select raw disk images and click next. Browse and select “system.img.ext4.img”. This file will then be mounted. Inside the mounted folder, click only the “app” and “framework” folder and save it inside C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\WORKING_deodex\system
Do the same with with “hidden.img.ext4.img” file. But this time after mounting, save only the symlink folder to C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\WORKING_deodex\preload.
5. Now open cygwin terminal from desktop. Remember to run this as an administrator.
Then type “cd kitchen”.
Now type command “./menu”. You will enter android rom kitchen.
Go to “advanced options” and select deodex files.
IN THIS SCREEN SELECT THE OPTION "v" TO SET API.
SET API TO "16" as we are deodexing 4.1.2 firmware. (THANKS BOB AGAIN)
Then Deodex both app and framework folders.
Android kitchen will do the rest automatically. It will take a few minutes to complete.
6. After that go to
C:\cygwin\home\****\kitchen\WORKING_deodex\META-INF\com\google\android and open the updater script with notepad++.
In this file check if all the “.apk” files in preload partition are symlinked. Otherwise just add following line with the apk name from preload.
For example if there is Gmail.apk inside preload, then to symlink it write :-
symlink("/preload/symlink/system/app/Gmail.apk", "/system/app/Gmail.apk");
7. Now select the option to create a rom from working folder and select interactive mode.
It will first zipalign rom, compress it and sign the zip file.
Then transfer it to your sdcard and flash the file.
8. You can also push the files via adb
If you face any problem report it…………
Save @Agadoo’s data plan……

Thanks for this, appreciated. I am running into a puzzlement right from the start. When I get to the select packages part of the Cygwin Setup and search for the first package gcc4 there is nothing to select. I noticed before this step you have a bunch of sites to download from. I selected the first. See screenshot.

Wait, the gcc4 has become obsolete. Wait till i update the post. thanks for reporting.
EDIT:- In the screenshot you posted, untick the hide obsolete packages and then search for gcc4. But it wont be under devel, it will be under obsolete package. (remember that)

Deodex working ok, but with the SecEmail there is a problem and can't deodex that. So haven't been able to go further than deodexing so far.

that's where I am at so far
Ok not able to deodex. Tried moving SecEmail files from preload to apps. Spent enough time today so will try another day. Your guide is most appreciated. This problem is the result of something else going on.

Already updated. See OP.
It worked. will finish rest tomorrow but deoxed fine.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Oh that is great!!! So I think the guide is complete now.
Tell me if the updater script is working properly.
Finished. Made the deodexed zip, followed the prompts in kitchen. Zipaligned, checked the update-script all was good. Signed zip took a bit of time, renamed it and put into my sd card. Started from scratch on phone with fresh install of XXLQG firmware, installed cocafe's 6.8 kernel/cwm, installed my deodexed firmware zip and phone rebooted fine and is deodexed. Preload, symlinks, apps, framework all are correct. Thanks for the guide and I can't think of anything else to add other than be patient, some steps take a while.

Well yes. Signing takes a bit of time. You can skip signing if you want.
Now, one more question. Totally off topic
Will you challenge Agadoo, in uploading the deodexed firmware.

Good idea. But frapeti already has a thread in the dev forum.
And one more thing, after deodexing in the build.prop add these lines. Saw it in frapeti's thread.

First Lets know some Basic knowledge about DEODEX/ODEX...
What is Odex and Deodex ROM
What is an ODEX file?
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk.
These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space.
These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting.
Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.
On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
What is an DEODEX file?
Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files.
By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place,
allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location,
custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.
How this works?
For the majority noobs amongst us, Android OS uses a Java-based virtual machine called the Dalvik Virtual Machine.
A deodexed or .dex file contains the cache used by this virtual machine (referred to as Dalvik-cache) for a program, and it is stored inside the APK.
An .odex file, on the other hand, is an optimized version of this same .
dex file that is stored next to the APK as opposed to inside it.
Android applies this technique by default to all the system applications.
When an Android-based system is booting, the davlik cache for the Davlik VM is built using these .odex files, allowing the OS to learn in advance what applications will be loaded, and thus speeds up the booting process.
By deodexing these APKs, a developer actually puts the .odex files back inside their respective APK packages.
Since all code is now contained within the APK itself, it becomes possible to modify any application package without conflicting with the operating system’s execution environment.
Advanteges & Disadvantages
The advantage of deodexing is in modification possibilities.
This is most widely used in custom ROMs and themes. A developer building a custom ROM would almost always choose to deodex the ROM package first,
since that would not only allow him to modify various APKs, but also leave room for post-install theming.
On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times.
However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used.
Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.
Note:Themes for android come in APKs too, and if you want to modify any of those, you should always choose a dedoexed custom ROM.
Lets Start...
GUIDE TO DEODEX STOCK ROM
Java Development KIT
(Download & Setup Guide)
ANDROID SDK
xUltimateV2.3.3
(only this version is capable with samsung device)
Official Link to xUltimate : POST #5
7-Zip
(32-Bit & 64-Bit)
1.Download android-sdk & extract it.
2.Copy sdk folder & paste it into
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android
3.Change name from SDK to Android.sdk.
(inside folder look like this)
4.you need to flash stock firmware first & Root your device.
5.Connect your phone to computer.(Make sure you have select USB debugging in Settings>Applications>Development)
6.Download & extract xUltimate zip.
7.Launch Main.exe(Run as administrator)
8.If everything goes well xUltimate should recognize the phone and make a connection.You now should see a list of options.
9.Select option (1) pull /system/app. Wait until it complete.
10.Select option (2)pull /system/framework. Wait until it complete.
11..Then select option (3) Deodex /system/app. Wait until it complete.
[If encounter any error. Find out which .odex file is it. Then remove .odex file from folder origi_app in xUltimate folder]
(i found 5 errors so i attached that app's deodex files below you just want to paste in system/app when this process complete)
12.Then select option (4)Deodex /system/framework. Wait until it complete.
13.DONE : your rom is now deodex. Now Exit from xUltimate
Now there are 2 ways to install deodex files in device
1. from Android.SDK
From Android.SDK :
1.Put the phone in USB mass storage.
2.Go to xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
3.Now get out from USB storage mode.
4.Go to
Code:
C:\Program Files\Android\android.sdk
& open command promote there.
5.Enter following codes.
(if you are using adb shell in su for the first time, keep phone screen on. After entering "su" code, super user request prompt in phone. Press allow )
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
6.Now you have deodexed rom.
2. from SampleDEODEX.zip file attached below.
From zip file attached
1.open zip given as archive.
(use 7.zip but DO NOT EXTRACT.)
2.go to system/app folder & paste here all your deodexed apk's
3.same for for system/framework to paste framework files.
4.done, paste it in your SD-Card & flash through CWM.
STILL IF YOU FACE ANY ERROR
Especially Android 4.1 + (JB) users
Try this method Updating xUltimate tool manually.
asm-xda said:
First of all, thx for the OP. This method for Deoexing works fine, I needed to make a few updates - described below - in order to make it work on my GT-P3113 device, running JB 4.2.2.
OK. So, you have already made sure JDK is properly installed but still can't succeed? Check the following... These are the changes I had to make to deodex my ROM.
1. Get the latest version of xUltimate. It's version 2.4.2: http://www.xeudoxus.com/android/xUltimate-v2.4.2.zip. If you got version 2.3.3 and accepted to download latest version, you were directed to a thread that is not updated with the latest version. Check post #549 on that thread to find the link I've pasted above.
2. If you happen to have Android 4.2.2 on your device, ADB needs to be updated. xUltimate has version 1.0.26 which won't properly connect with your device. NOTE: you can tell which version of adb you are using by running this: adb version
So:
Install the latest version of the Android SDK to get ADB version: 1.0.31 (or later, should be fine).
Locate and copy over these 3 files from the Adnroid SDK install folder into xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar replacing the existing ones:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
3. I don't know this step is a must for everyone, but it was for me. The assembler/deassembler for .dex file format must be upgraded too. The version in the jar folder in xUltimate-v2.4.2 didn't work fine with the .odex files in my stock ROM.
So:
Download smali.jar and baksmali.jar from here: https://code.google.com/p/smali/. I got version 1.4.2 but any above that should work fine too for the latest available ROMs I guess.
The 2 files probably include the version number in the filename ( i.e.: smali-1.4.2.jar and baksmali-1.4.2.jar). Rename them so they are called: smali.jar and baksmali.jar.
Copy (& replace) those 2 files into xUltimate-v2.4.2\jar folder.
So, that's it. After doing all the above, I managed to deodex my ROM. Well... not quite... there's something else.
After doing the steps above, you should go ahead and follow instructions in the first post of the thread. If everything works, then you are done! Say thanks to OP and enjoy your deodexed ROM. :good::victory:
If however, you still encounter errors while running the xUltimate tool, keep reading...
NOTE: The following is probably only true for certain devices (like mine) so disregard if you don't find any error while following OP steps to deodex.
I got into errors deodexing these files: SamsungIME, SecEmail_Tablet, SecSetting and SecExchange.
Since I couldn't find how to make them work, I decided to leave those files odexed. I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not, but it's fine for me because in my case I actually wanted to deodex some specific apks, not really all of them.
If you decide you want to skip some files (as I did), you'll need to proceed as follows:
Take note of the files that couldn't be deodexed and move those files from the orig_app or orig_frame folder into a new folders, let's call them: "no_deo_app" and "no_deo_frame". Ensure you move the .odex file + .jar file (in case it exists). Make really sure you move files into the right folder: "orig_app" into "no_deo_app" and "orig_frame" into "no_deo_frame".
Run the deodexing again until everything works fine. If you find another file that gives you problem, you do step 1 and 2 again until the tool completes all files successfully.
Now you have 4 folders that are relevant: "done_app", "done_frame", "no_deo_app", "no_deo_frame". Copy all of them into the root of your sdcard.
Now, get into adb shell as superuser access as described in OP following the commands below instead of the ones in the OP. Basically the difference will prevent you from deleting the odex file for the apps that couldn't be deodexed.
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
[COLOR="red"][B]cp /sdcard/no_deo_app/* /system/app/[/B][/COLOR]
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
[COLOR="Red"][B]cp /sdcard/no_deo_frame/* /system/framework/[/B][/COLOR]
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Well, that was it for me . This is what I've done to doedex my stock JB 4.2.2 ROM my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablet.

well you just have to skip those apk's which cause these errors...
close this window, go in Orig_app folder & delete related apk + its .odex file & give another try.
if error appear in another apk do the same.
some apk's wont get deodex through this app you just have to delete those & move forward.

if u get error in each system apk then download older version's of xUltimate app from this POST #5

Give a try my friend...
there is no way to brick your device .
you just have to put system & framework files in the pc & let xUltimate do the work.
if everything goes fine you get pair of folders deodex system apps & that of framework files .
put them to make flashable zip & there you go deodex stock rom.
everything will fine if u follow my steps.
if get any wrong (error) then its been in ur pc only not in ur phone

Happy to help you
Hello everyone. I am excited to announce I've found a successful method to edit the contents of the Android System, also known as framework-res. This method has allowed me to make a massive amount of modifications to the framework system, including unlocking several features and or settings Amazon blocks us from using or accessing. The guide I am writing today, is just one example of that.
I've been contacted a few times here and there, users asking if I knew how to improve their WiFi reception as some feared Amazon may be intentionally slowing down connections. Until now, I was unable to determine all of the features or settings related to WiFi, that we have been blocked from seeing/using/accessing. This guide will show you how to unlock those settings and features to improve your WiFi reception.
!!!!*****WARNING*****!!!!
Modifying the framework can be extremely damaging to your device. Making the wrong edit, even in the slightest, can result in permanent damage to your device. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER EDITS TO THE FRAMEWORK, OTHER THAN THE ONES OUTLINED IN THIS GUIDE. IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, OR DAMAGE IT IN ANY WAY, I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. If you choose to go forward from here, you are responsible for any and all actions. If you aren't prepared for the possibility you may brick your tablet, this guide is not for you. NOTE: I've NEVER permanently bricked a device, but everyone's devices are different.
I have tested this method extensively and made extensive edits to the framework. I have bricked my tablets many times, sometimes several times a day. I risked and continue to risk losing my devices to damages by bringing you these next several guides. Please thank me when you've successfully completed this guide
Requirements:
-Rooted HD 10 or Fire 7 tablet
-Desktop PC with Android SDK installed
-APKtool
-Java (APKtool requires Java)
-Notepad++ (Install this first)
-7-Zip or like minded program
-adbd Insecure application
-A lot of patience and time
Notes:
-Works really well on the HD 10. Extensively tested.
-Works on the Fire 7, but with a much lower success rate. For some reason the Fire 7 gets very irritated very quickly, more often than not.
Instructions:
1. Go to the Java website and download the two files, JDK and JRE (not the JRE server) and install them. When doing so, make sure the installation path is just inside C:\ directory NOT C:\Program Files etc. It's much easier to have all your tools in the same directory for easy access. NOTE: You won't be able to use this guide without installing Java as it's required by APKtool.

}
2. Go to the APKtool website and download the tool and required files. They will also be placed into the C:\ directory. Installation instructions are in the same place. PLEASE READ THEM VERY CAREFULLY!
3. When you've completed the above tasks, plug your tablet into your PC. On your PC, open an ADB window. You need to pull one file from your tablet, framework-res.apk and send it to the APKtool folder in C:\APKtool (assuming that's where you installed APKtool). For this guide, your file(s) MUST be pulled from your device using ADB. DO NOT manually place them into the folder(s).
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:\APKtool
4. Once the framework apk is in the APKtool folder, open another command prompt window from the APKtool folder by holding down shift on the keyboard + right click on the mouse and select "open command window here." In this new command window type:
Code:
APKtool
If you installed everything correctly, text will appear with a few commands you can issue APKtool.
5. Now we need to decompile the framework. In APKtool command window type the following command:
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
6. The framework-res.apk should then decompile into a folder inside your APKtool folder. Open the framework folder and navigate to:
Code:
/res/values/
7. Open the bools.xml file by right clicking on it and selecting Notepad++ as the editor. At this point quite a bit of code, or configurations will appear. Please look for the list of items below and change the values of them from 'false' to 'true':
Code:
"config_wifi_dual_band_support"
"config_wifi_background_scan_support"
"config_wifi_enable_disconnection_debounce"
"config_wifi_enable_5GHz_preference"
"config_wifi_framework_enable_associated_autojoin_scan"
"config_wifi_framework_enable_associated_network_selection"
"config_wifi_only_link_same_credential_configurations"
"config_wifi_batched_scan_supported"
"config_wimaxEnabled"
8. Now save the file and close Notepad++. Back in the framework folder, open the arrays.xml file. Look for the following line of code:
Code:
<string-array name="networkAttributes">
<item>wifi,1,1,2,-1,true</item>
<item>tedongle,49,49,1,-1,true</item>
9. In the first line above, wifi,1,1,2,-1,true, change the '2' to a '1'. Delete the second line completely, but leave the 'item' tags. Replace it with the following line of code:
Code:
<item>wifi_p2p,13,1,0,-1,true</item>
I have personally marked each of these configurations as true to test battery drainage, and there was very little if any at all. Though the configuration for "background" scanning is enabled, I don't believe it's the same background scanning like the aggressive ones manufacturers and providers place in the general WiFi settings.
10. Save the files and close them. Head back to the APKtool folder and open the command window again, if you closed it. Type the following command:
Code:
apktool b framework-res
11. You might see a few errors, but they can be ignored as long as the window tells you the APK was successfully created. If it was, go to the APKtool folder, tap on the framework-res folder, then tap on the 'dist' folder. Your new framework is inside. Right click on the NEW framework-res.apk and select "open archive." Go back to the main APKtool folder and right click on the ORIGINAL framework-res.apk and open it as an archive too.
12. Drag the 'res' folder from the newly generated APK to the old APK. If using 7-Zip, just click ok when the window pops up. Now do the same for the resources.arsc file and if usong 7-Zip, just select ok. If using WinRAR, you have to set the compression to STORE before you click ok.
13. Place the framework-res.apk you just dragged those files to, into your adb folder on your PC and plug your tablet into it. Download and install adbd insecure and check the box to make adbd insecure. Now open an ADB window. It's time to install the framework. In two commands, you'll be done. First type:
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
After you installed the framework, if you don't go into a bootloop within 10 seconds or less, you have most likely been successful, but you still have to reboot. Once you do, You'll notice a new toggle in your advanced WiFi settings. For an added bonus, you can edit your build.prop to specify the range of WiFi channels in your country. If in the US, you will add the number '11' and if in Europe and Asia, you want to put a 13 or 14.
Code:
ro.wifi.channels=11
OR
Code:
ro.wifi.channels=13
Keep an eye on me the for the next week or more. I have a lot more goodies to share, and I keep finding more

Hello everyone. I am excited to announce I've found a successful method to edit the contents of the Android System, also known as framework-res. This method has allowed me to make a massive amount of modifications to the framework system, including unlocking several features and or settings Amazon blocks us from using or accessing. The guide I am writing today, is just one example of that.
I've been contacted a few times here and there, users asking if I knew how to improve their WiFi reception as some feared Amazon may be intentionally slowing down connections. Until now, I was unable to determine all of the features or settings related to WiFi, that we have been blocked from seeing/using/accessing. This guide will show you how to unlock those settings and features to improve your WiFi reception.

Would it be possible for you to post your modified framework-res file so those of us less skilled could just push your tested and working file. I would assume you will need a version for each OS aka one for 5600, 5601 and 5610

I'm not so sure that a framework-res.apk from one tablet is good for another, but there's no reason that it wouldn't work.
I experience a lot of wifi issues on the 7th Gen HD 10, but I'm not sure if messing with the framework is worth the risk...
I can tell that the 5GHz range of the tablet is extremely bad, I basically have to be in the ssame room where my router is
and that 2.4GHz is sometimes very slow, while it works fine on my phone

I can yes. But be aware if you aren't on the same version 5.6.0.1, then just reinstalling that APK may not work. I'm not entirely sure if the framework APK relies on version specific settings or not. In which case the worst that could happen is when you go to reboot you would be stuck at the boot logo and you would need to reflash stock firmware. I'll do upload it when I get home from work later.

I'm posting the framework now. There are other tweaks as well, I just don't remember some. You can toggle the Wi-Fi GHZ in advanced Wi-Fi settings. I warn you though, this may not work. I've not tested this method so I'm not responsible for any bricks!

Posted above this reply. I can make a special modification for you later. As of now the setting is set to a 5ghz preference. I can change that later and I'll upload the revised framework this afternoon.

Requirements:
-Rooted HD 10 or Fire 7 tablet
-Desktop PC with Android SDK installed
-APKtool
-Java (APKtool requires Java)
-Notepad++ (Install this first)
-7-Zip or like minded program
-A lot of patience and time

-Works really well on the HD 10. Extensively tested.
-Works on the Fire 7, but with a much lower success rate. For some reason the Fire 7 gets very irritated very quickly, more often than not.

Make sure the box is checked in adb insecure. You have to recheck the box each time you run a command, whether successful or not.

@DragonFire1024 just got my hd 10 up and running with TONS of help from retyre. Currently on his 5610 img thats pre rooted and pre xposed. If you would be willing to make a 5160 framework-res for me with all your goodies I would be happy to help you test anything you like. If needed I can even upload the framework-res off my install to you for modding.

You'll likely have to send me a copy of yours to be on the safe side. There are some parts I cannot change or it gets stuck at the boot logo. If any of those are different from 5.6.0.1 to 5.6.1.0, then it would also get stuck. Send me your framework APK and I'll work on it. Almost done with the FireTabletSettings apk and then I'll overhaul my framework to include all mods instead of single mods and make it available. So my take a little time, but I'll do it

https://bit.ly/2HOv0Rw (framework-res from 5.6.1.0) do you want the settings file as well? If so would it be SettingsProvider.apk you need?
Also have been toying with an idea... If I loaded RETYRE's image for system, clean, then adb pushed your settings and framework files to my system, then used flashfire for a raw system backup and posted the resulting image file, woudn't that be a good way to easily distribute your changes and his... with his and your permission to do so of course.

If I loaded RETYRE's image for system, clean, then adb pushed your settings and framework files to my system, then used flashfire for a raw system backup and posted the resulting image file, woudn't that be a good way to easily distribute your changes and his... with his and your permission to do so of course.

While I don't have an issue with using my 5.6.1.0 image, I'm not sure merging these tweaks into the system.img and uploading a new 5.6.1.0 image would be my preferred approach. Instead, DragonFire1024 should upload his/her tweaks as a flashable .zip that one can flash with FlashFire.
Let's say you put up a modified system.img today and DragonFire1024 comes up with a couple of tweaks tomorrow. Will you create another system.img? If you have a good /system, would you want to dump an entirely new system.img just to get a few new tweaks?
