[HOW TO] Compile/Decompile ICS Apk easily|100% working

We are all here to learn, take from community and give back to community!!!
@Lord ClockaN
Hya guys, after A LOT of requests, I decided to share with the community something that I found really REALLY useful for Dev's but also for other users too that want to mess up with compiling and decompiling process. Usually, non problems at all with that, but since ICS come out, many dev\users are not able to decompile\compile properly many ics apk (not all). This guide will ensure you a good result, 100% working, easy, and fastest way to mess up with ics for theming and resizing purposes, or whatever you want
BIG THX to my friend and Dev teammate @Bichon for this

About Apktooll
Please consider to visit the original thread about this tool, because what I'm explaining here is just 1\10 of the real skill of this tool. You can do basically whatever you want with AutoApktool, themers will love it, Dev's will appreciate it a lot, I'm sure.
Why can't we use Apktool???
Well, you can, but it's more difficult, that's it.
Why do you say "must use 1.4.1 apktool version"??
The reason why is that since 1.4.2 version, apktool generate java code while recompiling process is going on, and this lead to errors that 9/10 makes decompile process fail.
Requirements (Windows environment, mine is Seven 64 bit)
Java (last version)
JDK (last version)
JDR (last version, usually included in JDK or Java)
SDK (last 3.0 version for ICS source code)
Auto_Apktool 2.0.0 (DOWNLOAD THIS ONE NOT OTHERS!!!)
HOW-TO (NOTE: before start, select Apktool version with option 21, YOU MUST CHOOSE 1.4.1 version!!)
1) Download and simply unpack Auto_ApkTool 2.0.0
2)Click on "autoapktoolmain.bat", prompt will open

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3)put the apk you want to mess up with in "_INPUT_APK"
4) you can chose more than one option to decompile (option 6 is strongly recommended)
5) when option 6 is being selected, drag the apk from _INPUT_APK folder into the windows prompt and click enter
6) A Note window will appear, and will show IF the decompiling process has been done properly. Once you close that window, you will see the decompiled folder in _INPUT_APK folder
7) do your edits (xml, snali, or png, doesn't matter)
8) recompile with option 7 (NOTE: this time you MUST drag all the FOLDER, NOT the apk)
9) Once recompiling finished, open the decompiled folder, go to "dist" folder, and here you got your edited apk
10) you MUST sign the apk with option 10 (NOTE: drag the apk from dist folder to the prompt, then press enter, and in the SAME folder, a signedxxx.apk will appear)
11) Rename the apk, and push it |NOTE: you can push the apk with 62 option or with sdk typing:
Code:
adb remount
adb push xxx.apk system/app
adb reboot
That's it

NOTE FOR SAMSUNG USERS
Samsung changed some Hex value in the compiled dex code.
It has nothing to do with resources apks or anthing.
If you want to decompile those apks you have to do the follwing:
Using 7zip extract the classes.dex file from the apk and save it somewhere.\
Delete the classes.dex file from the apk.
Now you can decompile the apk using this tutorial.
If you want to decompile the classes.dex to edit the smali code, download baksmali 1.3.2 and smali 1.3.2 and use them to decompile and recompile the classes.dex.
After you recompiled the edited smali code, just drag back in the new classes.dex file you made.
this won't be fixed until Brut will make a new Apktool, or someone inserted the new baksmali/smali code into apktool
THX @Firefeds
When you're in trouble...try this one, you can apply the following method to the op too
Downloads:
http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list
smali/baksmali editing v1.3.2
- Download both smali and baksmali v1.3.2
http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
This is the latest apktool used to compile/decompile .apk.
Download apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2 and apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2 for Windows or
apktool-install-macosx-r04-brut1.tar.bz2 and apktool-install-linux-r04-brut1.tar.bz2 for Mac. Follow the instruction on installation.
Step by step:
1. Extract the classes.dex from the desired apk.
2. Decompile it with baksmali v1.3.2 (for modding smali)
3. Recompile classes.dex with smali v1.3.2.
4. Decompile the apk with apktool (without classes.dex in the apk itself).
4a. Modify the apk however you want to, adding your changes.
4b. Recompile it with apktool.
5. Put the modified apk back into classes.dex.
6. Sign the apk.

Thanks for this great tutorial memnoc.
But when you create your own app you can checkout your project in eclipse or something like this. Ive read that this is for security that your app cant be decompiled.
Will this program decompile such apk's too?

Is there a difference between market and system app? I'm talking about normal market apps, which you can build in java with eclipse. There is a choice to publish. I don't know the right name there. With this the apk should built that you can't decompile this. (So I read it)
But if there is a difference you can decompile all system apks without problems? This would be very nice

Did try to decompile framework-res.apk and it went through without any errors or problems. However the Contacts.apk for ICS will not decompile.

[GUIDE][MOD]ICS Pattern locksreen(Change path thickness)

Guide to changing path thickness of Pattern Lockscreen to ICS style​
I wandered places searching this off. I found some traces in direction of my destiny but none of them worked fully correctly
So, as stated, I searched a lot for this mod and came face to face with failures and smali errors. So, I had to figure it out myself some modification to do in it to make it work.
Note: IT is not COMPLETELY my mod but I have done modifications in it to make it work. This is based on a guide for Froyo outside of XDA.
Pre-Requisites:
1. PC with Java JDK or JRE
2. Deodexed ROM
3. 7-Zip
4. classes.dex decompiling tool
5. Notepad++
6. Patience
7. Carefulness for editing smali files
Let's Start
1. First we would have to decompile classes.dex inside framework.jar
For that, you can use my Tool ROM Tool v3
First using 7zip, Right click on your framework.jar and open it as archive and drag and drop classes.dex in input folder of the tool
(Note: If you don't have classes.dex in framework.jar [only META-INF and preloaded-classes.dex], then your framework isn't deodexed)
Now, open Script.bat and choose 1 (Decompile classes.dex)
2. Now, we will make the changes. Go to decompiled folder and go to \classout\com\android\internal\widget and open LockPatternView.smali in Notepad++
Search for mDiameterFactor:F [Ctrl+F]​
See the code above it.
It should be like this:-
Code:
const[COLOR="Red"]/high16[/COLOR] v2, 0x3f00
If it is, then you will have to remove red part /high16
Because it will not allow the change of code we will be doing which will have a different hexadecimal value which will not be supported till this code is in effect
Now, it will look like this:-
Code:
const v2, 0x[COLOR="Red"]3f00[/COLOR]
Now, we will change the thickness value 3f00 to 3dcccccd
Final code will look like this
Code:
const v2, 0x3dcccccd
Save it
I am attaching final and before smali for comparison below.
View attachment 1936707
(Note: If you don't have /high16, it's good , then just change the value and save)
3. Go to Script.bat again and choose 2 (Recompile classes.dex) and after it's done, you will get classes.dex
Drop it in framework.jar
4. Push framewotk.jar in /system/framework
Eg:
Copy it in platform-tools folder of android SDK and type following with pressing Enter after each command
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework.jar
adb shell killall system_server
Last command will Hot Reboot your phone to apply changes. It is fast and better than rebooting phone.
5. Enjoy

alternate version.
4 - read (r)
2 - write (w)
1 - execute (x)
so 777 implies rwx rwx rwx
and 644 rw r r

This isn't a universal mod as different ROMs have different framework.jar.

[Q] baksmali to deodex lollipop system app

I've tried posting this in the Q and A section with no luck.. Maybe someone here can help.
I'm trying to make a battery mod for stock lollipop. Of course the ROM is odexed which makes life a lot more difficult when trying to decompile system apps. I'm attempting to deodex my systemUI.odex. However, using the backsmali command "java -jar baksmali.jar -a 21 -x systemUI.odex -d framework -o classout" is giving me an error stating that systemUI.odex is not an apk, jar or odex file
I have everything setup correctly...my whole framework directory is on my :C drive....I was wondering if you could explain why I'm getting this error? It worked for me on KitKat with no issues..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda premium

I'm looking to do the same too. but with DeskClockGoogle and WebViewGoogle pulled from the N5 factory image, to finish my Lollipop Gapps pack.
Unfortunately, even with baksmali and smali that I've built from source with the latest changes, I get the same errors. I'm guessing we'll have to wait until they're (hopefully) updated.
I've attached my compiled builds of baksmali and smali with up-to-date changes from source (latest being November 6, 2014) if you or anyone wants to mess with them or whatever.

I made it on my nexus 5 stock rom.

Most files contain only META-INF file and folder and have no odex files..
That's art.
So simply decompile odex files, will no longer work.
We need new baksmali and smali tools or similar.
Your uploaded baksmali file works great with KK odex but not with LP odex.

It is not a true .odex. It requires the oat2dex script to strip the oat header. Then you have the classes.dex file. The problem is getting the apk and the dex to happily coexist in the same APK. AOSP can deodex but we are still breaking the same apks just decompiled and recompiled (Stock factory or modded). SystemUI is only one I have been able to lock down as an auto break due to time constraint and ability to visualize the break.
.

Well I'm happy to see discussion being stirred up in this thread finally!!!! I gave up on trying to deodex the system apps.....until Jesus freak can update the smali/baksmali tools I'm in no position to get that working.
On the other hand, I've been working on "work around" to get the battery percentage in the status bar. We can all see the battery percentage in the drop down menu and in the lock screen (key guard.) I'm attempting to modify the keygaurd text view for the battery percentage and add it to the status bar in the "system_icons" XML file. Right now I'm able to compile the mod but its not showing up. If someone would like to help with it feel fee to reply here or shoot me a PM. The theory is to get a working battery percentage in the status bar without deodexing.

You need to have python installed, but if you have it you can run the oat2dex.py script on your odex file and then you'll be able to baksmali/smali it with the latest versions of those. I just don't know how to turn the dex file back into the original format to pop back into the rom.

Me neither, and I've never messed around with python

Dear dev.
Here my spec:
-Xperia m single
-Cm 12.1 android 5.1.1
-Using latest apktool from this thread.
The steps I take
1. Push apktool to /system/app
2. Reboot
3. Import the /framework/framework.apk
4. Next is decompile, recompile apk.
5. Copy dialer.apk to /sdcard/apkproject
6. Decompile dialer.apk
7. Not editing was made to source dialer_src
8. Recompile dealer_src
9. Add (META-INF) original to dialer_src.apk
10. Open root Explorer file manager, open the dialer_src.apk and for the result see screen shot.
A see the aapt your apktool provide is aapt v4.4 is that compatible with cm 12.1 android 5.1.1?
And the apktool is v2.0: apktool-2.0.0rc3.jar
Thanks for this apktool. Awesome. Amazing.
Everything I doing in a PC I can do in the phone.

This is screen shot of the original dialer.apk

Hi dev and thank you for your work.
I'd like to decompile HydrogenOS launcher apk, include in it OxygenOS framework and recompile hoping it could work on other AOSP based rom and not only in OxygenOS.
I'm a noobe and I was just wondering: is that possible? And, can I do this completely with your tool?
Thank you so much
