[TOOL] Automated Smali and BakSmali

Everytime I used smali or baksmali, I always had to go to the XDA post that described the correct usage...so I made simple batch files to speed up the process and figured I should share with the community.
Extract the .zip below, run the "smali.bat" or "baksmali.bat" batch files, and follow the instructions...they should be self explanatory.
This is obviously for Windows...don't ask for other versions, I'm not a programmer. These are the latest smali and baksmali versions (v1.2.6 released 12/23/2010) as well.
AutoSmali v1.0 | Download​
(Hope this post is in the right forum?)

Any chance this will work with framework-res.apk? I've been using apktool for it but dread having to build it twenty times before getting a usable one.

not sure what you mean?...this is just an automated script for decompiling/compiling the .dex files (usually within .jar files)
what exactly are looking to do with an .apk? sign it?

this is pretty cool ... thanks

Hey!
Thanks for this! Really helps alot!
But can you make it compatible with v1.2.7? http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list
Thanks!

hmmm...weird, i had the same issue , then i found the correct cobination of framework files for aptool, that now it builds as easy as one two three.
Did you makes sure you used the original meta-inf folder from the original apk, pm me if you ever need help.

Nice work. .:thumbs up:.

for this to work for the newer versions of smali/baksmali
just change .bat to .txt and edit the place where it says 'smali-1.2.x.jar' to the new version.
that should work.
i still dont know how the hell to do anything with a .smali file but i atleast know how to do that!
hit thanks if that helped

[REQ]Longpress back button to kill app

Hello!
I am not new to these forums.. I am a frequent reader, but I am not much of a poster.
I have a request that I think will benefit alot of galaxy tab 10.1 users running the stock roms.
Would anyone be able to /interested in modding the android.policy.jar file PhoneWindowManager.smali file to enable longpress back to kill foreground app? like the function we get in CM and AOKP roms? There is no need to have a setting for it in system settings. Just an android.policy.jar we could flash if we want the function enabled..
I have found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969499 discussing and explaining how to do this.
I have tried to do this myself, but either it just won't work or I end up in a bootloop. I am new to editing .smali files and understanding their buildup.. So I am asking here to see if anyone is willing to take a look and help me out.
My guess is that I am not the only one who wants this in the stock rom, and I hope that someone is willing to do this to the benefit of not only me but everyone else running the stock ICS and JB roms missing this function.
I am running the "something" JB stock rom by smaw51 with the extended power menu. I will add a link to my android.policy.jar if anyone wants to take a look at it.. If not edit it, maybe explain what strings to change in the .smali file in order to get it working. I know we will probably need a custom .smali with the kill function aswell if the one in this thread won't work...
Download android.policy.jar
Kind regards
Michael

I finally got this working after numerous edits and tests, and with lots of help from Mirko ddd, tdunham and lyapota.
Does anyone want me to post a tutorial on how to do this?
Will require some modification to the android.policy.jar file.
Might require decompiling and getting a string from framework-res.apk values/public.xml
(Optional) in order to get a toast message saying "Application Killed." we will need to edit some strings in framework-res.apk values/strings.xml and recompiling framework-res.apk using APKTool or Virtuous Ten Studio. If we don't change this we still do get a toast, but it will then say "force app to close", wich (in my opinion) didn't look very stock.
Also, I have only tested this on JB, but it might be very similar for ICS.

Would really appreciate this function!

How to understand smali file

Can anybody please guide me how to read & understand android smali file.
I just decompiled an apk using Apktool which generates the smali file. This file is written in plain text but the language is not something similar to any other language. I need some guide to understand the app backend functionality. I'm just looking for some sort of Java codes in the backend.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, .. you could have a look at this guide. It covers most of the stuff required to reverse-engineer an android application. But, be warned.. don't do any stuff that infringes copyrights of someone ... !!

[MOD][ATT][4.4] Remove AT&T & add battery % on status bar

I did this for myself, and thought I would share. I don't like the AT&T branding on the status bar, and I wanted to enable the 'built in' battery percent. I like to learn, so rather than use xposed framework, I built a flashable zip to change the status bar via SystemUI.apk.
WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE
Prerequisite:
ATT Moto X running stock official 4.4 kitkat (140.44.5)
safestrap TWRP (for those who don't have an unlocked bootloader, thanks Hashcode)
backup all of your data in case something goes horribly wrong
Instructions:
using your choice of file manager, backup /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk and /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex
Download or copy flashable zip (below) to sdcard
Reboot to safestrap TWRP recovery
flash zip file
It is not my intent to entertain every "can you change the color" or "can you do this for my provider", etc.
Below are the 'broad strokes' of how I did this in linux: (Each of these steps below require various skills, and my intent is not to do too much 'hand holding.')
first deodex SystemUI.apk & .odex (I used android kitchen with latest smali/baksmali and api level 19, thanks dsixda)
--
DUMP AND DECOMPILE SYSTEMUI:
make sure java 7 is installed
download/extract apktool_2.0.0b7.jar (thanks connor tumbleson)
move /system/framework/framework-res.apk to apktool directory
move deodexed SystemUI.apk (from above) to apktool directory
install framework: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar if framework-res.apk
dump SystemUI.apk: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar d SystemUI.apk
--
REMOVE AT&T FROM STATUS BAR:
edit this file: SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar.xml
search for the line with this info: android:id="@id/onsText"
change the end to: android:maxLength="0"
--
CHANGE BATTERY TO INCLUDE PERCENT
Follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533912&highlight=bold (thanks, homeslice976)
--
RECOMPILE AND COPY EXISTING SIGNATURE:
recompile: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar b SystemUI -o SystemUI.apk
move META-INF structure and AndroidManifest.xml from inside the original SystemUI.apk to the new SystemUI.apk (I used 7z)
--
CREATE FLASHABLE ZIP WITH NEW SYSTEMUI
you can use mine as a template and just replace my SystemUI.apk under /system/priv-app
TWRP/CWM flashable zip: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291682729
(Deletes /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex and replaces /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk with my deodexed and modified version.)

"ro.product.device" look for "ghost" instead of "xt1058"?

I remember that change. When I ran the script for the first time, it errored out saying something like: "This is for ghost devices, this is a: xt-1058". I didn't troubleshoot it, I just changed the line to "xt-1058" and it started working on my phone.

Didact74's Multi-Tool v2.0.3

Didact74's Multi-Tool v2.0​
Hello everyone, I have been away from the scene for a little while due to an unGodly work schedule. Since work is slowing just a tad, I figured I would ease back in by trying to finalize my MULTI-Tool that I started a while back. I know there have been a few others who have dropped similar programs recently but I couldn't bare to just throw this thing away, so here it is.
A few things this program will do.....
Pull Files
Push Files
Deodex Files
Odex Files
Pull BootClassPath Info
Pull and set Framework files
Pull Partition Info
Pull Partition Images
Reboot Functions
Logcat Functions
And several variations of each of the above.
Right now its in a BETA stage because I am sure some issues will surface due to the fact that I cant test everything this can do myself without geting side tracked. Give it a whirl, post some feedback, and offer up some ideas that I can add to it if you want. Its a simple Batch File, no fancy GUI or anything yet. Maybe down the road....
A few things to keep in mind.....
This tool is meant for intermediate level developers who are comfortable
reading, writing, and making basic changes to thier phone. There is a lot
of stuff in this program and I have not been able to fully test all the
different possible scenarios. I ask that you have a working backup of your
phone before using this program. I highly doubt you will need it, but I
have to CMA!
Additionally, I ask you read each mini-tutorial at the start of each option
screen. It will give you some direction on how to proceed. If you come
across any issues or problems please let me know and I will do my best to
resolve them.
I am not a programmer! I know just enough JAVA, C++, and batch
script to scrape by. I am absolutley certain there are more efficient ways
to write the code in this program. Feel free to do so if you like.
ENJOY!

Ok, I'm running Windows 8.1 if that matters.

I cant test Win8, I am running Win 7 x64 so I will need other feedback for that one.
I fixed an issue with the Batch picking out an .apk in the Framework folder so that should resolve part that issue. Originally I set all framwork folders up to recognize .jar files only, not remembering there are two .apks (framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk) that reside in the framework folder as well. I have fixed that issue. The other part of that problem is I was not able to recompile framework-res with my version of apktool. All the other files I tried decompile and recompile with no issues. Not sure if there is a known issue recompiling some files in KitKat or not. If there are I will need to find out what they are and build them in to the program.
I was able to decompile and recompile SystemUI with no issues so I am having an issue duplicating that error. When recompiling and decompiling there are several options to choose from. Single files, entire directory, certain folders, etc. When you are performing these functions, which option are you selecting in the menu?
Have you tried any other features?

What version of apktool did you use? I know that I was not able to use 1.5.2 on my kitkat (S3) framework-res and had to switch to a 2.0+ version to get it to work

I am indeed using 1.5.2. This should be a simple fix then. I will locate 2.0 and add it to the setup.
Thank you sir!

Okay v2.0.1 is up with updated APKTool.
Compiling should be error free now....hopefully

Awesome work

v2.0.2 is up.
I had to post a download link in the changelog thread because the DEV Database is having an issue with uploads right now for some reason. See post #2 for the download link. I will change it back when the site is fixed.

v2.0.3 is now ready.
The downloads tab is now working again so I will be removing the hyperlink from page 2. Just download from the tab at the top of the first post again.
Updating changelog now.....
