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, smali, or png, WHATEVER)
8) recompile with option 7 (NOTE: this time you MUST drag all the FOLDER, NOT the apk)
9) Once recompiling finished, u will Get a Dcompiled NOTE window that Shows your apk is sucessfully Compiled, Close that Window, Once open the decompiled folder, go to "dist" folder, and here you got your edited apk
10) NOW this is the Last step, since u cannot Sign System app, u will have to Copy the META-INF foldrer frm the Orginal apk to the edited apk, for more Info See the "Screen"
11) Rename the apk if Needed, and push it.

Reserved, for making how to decompile and recompile .jar files,soon

Reserved 2, if I get time I wil add a video tutorial too!

FAQ's​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

Nice learning, but Does it only work for editing or changing the user interface (lke smile, png) of apk file?

Haha, don't worry that's not an error, the path of dist was manually set so u get that message, actual 'errors' u will get under these note (if u have committed any error in editing), if get only these messages then ur apk is successfully recompiled :thumbup:

guys i dont even get a stightest idea to decompile and recompile......... is there any application which can look into .apk files and also allow it to edit???????

Can decompile but can't recompile.

recompiling C:\AutoAPKTool2.0.4\_INPUT_APK\BlueTheme...

ya the size will be reduced based on ur apk tool compression level

while recompiling it shows error,.... "destination could not be found "

Thank you very much for the tutorial.. very helpful... :laugh:

*Decompile it through apktool, a newly created framework.jar.out will be there.
Code:
apktool d framework.jar
*Download LG smali.zip from attachment and extract it
*Copy "lge" from com folder of LG smali and paste it in framework.jar.out/smali/com ( in apktool folder )
It must be like this "framework.jar.out/smali/com/lge"

Hi devilex94. Thank you for post on the other thread about the solution to my problem, but after read your guide I got really confused .
I don't know how to use apktool (already looked on XDA and Google but nothing is easy to understand). Went to cmd but it says that the path isn't right (grrr)...
I believe this really helps who understands programming but I don't know how to change frameworks :-/ already root my device, already extracted framework.jar from system... but after that I got stuck

in the first command he forgot an "r" : framewok instead of framework.
your problem is that you need to cd to the directory of apktools. If the apktools is in C drive , the command is cd C:\apktools or any folder that is it in. if you have it in a series of folders it should be cd C:\your path to apktools and then do this tut.

framework.jar.out
When I decompile framework.jar, I only get apktool.yml in the out folder. There are no directories like smali. Do I need to create those and then copy the LGsmali?

Great ! this is really nice !
Do you have the same solution to port the Samsung Weather/Clock widget from GS3 to any roms ?
Thanks

I tried the tutorial, installed the apk after but widget doesn't seem to fully load???

Did you followed the apktool guide properly?
It seems that you didn't followed the apktool guide properly
EDIT: Check if you have installed the proper framework files
and I think that you are using a already themed rom
hence you getting the errors.

[SHARE](APP) Apktool on Android

FAQ: I'm not the developer of this app. I am just sharing this to the community
Want to be a developer but don't have a computer to do the job?
Then Apktool which was previously built for computers can now be used on your android phone
Requirements:
- Rooted Android Device
- File Manager with root permissions (e.g Root Browser, ES File Explorer)
- Some Knowledge on modding APK files
(If you don't know how to, just search for guides for your favourite mod)
- A Fully Functional Brain
Downloads
You can find the files here
Setting up
1. Download the latest version of apktool.apk and apktool_armhf.zip
2. When finished, extract apktool4.1_armhf.zip and move the apktool folder the the root of your SD card (sdcard/ place here)
3. Install the apk file
How to use it
1. If you want to mod your Systemui or framework-res just grab those files using a root explorer and place them in a new folder either on your internal or external SD card.
2. Go back to apktool and hold on the apk till a pop up menu appears.
3. Install framework first then you can proceed to decompiling
4. If you have finished doing your business, compile it back, delete the original apk and rename the modded apk to the original one.
Notes
If you don't know anything about codes I suggest you to search for mods with guides around XDA.
Have fun being a developer and hit the thanks button if I've helped you

Haha, that was quick!

Downloading now...
Im curious, when you wrote to download the latest versions there was only 1.4 but the apktool is 1.52 I believe....
Will that version work with this? Or do you have to use this version?

This is hands down the most useful tool for devs (or occasional dabblers like myself) who have pretty much abandoned their computers in favor of their Android devices...call me lazy, but there have been several times where I've been playing on my phone while watching TV and I come across something I'd like to try - but then completely disregard it simply because I don't want to leave my perch and go into the other room to get on the computer.
This is XDA newsworthy - FANTASTIC work, OP!!

Seems to me that one thread is not enough to tell xda users about this app. I know its like spamming cause I'm sharing the same apk but majority of apktool users stick to the developers only forums thats why i posted here.

But one question..when I extract classes.dex of framework.jar, how can I get it back in there after editing? :/

Yeah, I'm also wondering about this...
Decompiled the Framework.jar quite easily, but after editing ang recompiling, it only shows:
Code:
I. Smaling...
Killed
If my memory serves right, here at XDA, There's a file (two files actually) which you'll put at system/bin or system/xbin, run an Terminal Emulator, and you can instantly (well, it always depends on the size) recompile Framework.jar.
But the problem is, I don't have the files anymore (forgot to make a back-up), and I forgot what did I typed , or what I searched to get there...

I decompiled apktool.apk to test (& to change the icon), I changed the icon and now I can't recompile.
This is the message I get:

Maybe the app depends on the version of the kernel, what is your kernel version?

I decompiled apktool.apk to test (& to change the icon), I changed the icon and now I can't recompile.

Had you import the apk as framework of the apk first before decompiling it?

[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

-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.

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
