[DEV] apkTools - Optimize/Edit/Pack/Sign

A simple toolkit inspired by some others, primary goal is to provide a seamless solution for reliable apk editing/optimizing.
This tool uses aapt rather than 7zip for packing. That provides much better reliability and assurance of conformance to Android file standards, as the cost of slightly larger files.
Contains:
- 7zip
- roptipng
- aapt
- apktool
- zipalign
- signapk
I've also made sure all the libraries/binaries are up to date.

Windows only, sorry.
I can look and see about porting to Mac/Linux though, to my knowledge I should be able to get binaries/source for each exe used.

Cool thanks....

Appreciate the kit will thank you when I get near my laptop.
Swyped From Eva Running Myn's RLS4!

40 downloads and no feedback?
Anyways, I'd like to encourage everyone to use ddms from the android sdk to check your boot errors when optimizing.
It helps alot, any apk related errors should always be addressed even if they seemingly work flawless.

I like that you have compiled all these things together. Shouldn't there also be a draw9patch.bat also for those who have to fix the things that noobs did? It is getting better these days but there are still those out there trying to take the easy way out.

I'm also on a mac. I'll probably run it within VirtualBox

good stuff... im happy someone put together a package for everyone.
btw... which versions u using here?
i can check... but i think more people would like to know.

I like your concept. Good work. I'm only experiencing 1 issue though...
When unpacking Motonav.apk, everything seems to be unpacked, but when looking at the files, they're wrongfully created.
Instead of creating the file data.gro for instance, it creates a folder data_gro. Which therefore can't be recognized by GROConverter.
Am I doing something wrong?

its using apktool so if its set to decompile then you would edit the decompiled manifest with something like notebook ++

this would be greeeeaaaat for a mac.

Awesome tool... Would love for this to be able to handle draw9patch! Might there be an update to include that?

For some weird reason im getting errors. saying java isnt a command

This is great, thanks....

[MOD][10/22/13] - AT&T Tether hack - D80010d Base - No SQL stuff, just flash and go!

[MOD][10/22/13] - AT&T Tether hack - D80010d Base - No SQL stuff, just flash and go!
I hacked the AT&T Tether. Its now free on stock ROM and on custom ROMS build on the AT&T D80010d Base.
Instead of authenticating to the AT&T Entitlement server it authenticates to... wait for it... www.scottsroms.com and of course my server always gives the ok :good:
Make a Nandroid before flashing!
Download HERE!
Please hit Thanks and rate the thread 5 stars!
If you would like to contribute to my upcoming legal defense fund please hit the donate button ​

Any Dev (or aspiring Dev) may use this mod for any rom you make on the D80010d base. I just ask that you please give credits. Its hitting a server that I have to pay money for so thats not asking a whole lot.

How I did this...
Oddly enough this is the strangest working hack I did. I did this back on the AT&T GS4 when I couldnt get the framework-res to re-compile. Anyways, some background, when the hot spot / tether app checks with AT&T to see if you have tether it does it in such a simplistic way, it simply pings a server and looks for a "Yes" reply! Litterally, thats what it does.
I set up a simple html file on server here: http://scottsroms.com/tether that returns the word "Yes" and then the tether app turns on. Its really weird they did not have any encryption of any sort of obfuscation and its plain text English, but whatever, made it easy to hack.
So for the file on my server to be any use we have to re-direct the Entitlement check to that location instead of AT&T's server located at "entitlement.mobile.att.net"
So what I did was de-compile LGSettings.apk and edited the following lines...
File: com/android/settings/EntitlementCheckService.smali
Changes:
Code:
Line 217
const-string v4, "entitlement.mobile.att.net"
to
const-string v4, "scottsroms.com/tether"
Line 753:
const-string v9, "http://entitlement.mobile.att.net/teth"
to
const-string v9, "http://scottsroms.com/tether"
Line 846:
const-string v9, "http://entitlement.mobile.att.net/teth"
to
const-string v9, "http://scottsroms.com/tether"
Line 858:
const-string v9, "http://entitlement.mobile.att.net/mhs1"
to
const-string v9, "http://scottsroms.com/tether"
So as you can see it goes to my webserver and returns "yes" and tether works ;c)
http://scottsroms.com/tether

Is this already in your clean xe 1.1 rom?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Would it be possible to have this flashable zip simply install that same html file for the "yes" reply to a directory called "tether" on the root of the internal storage, and then the LGSettings.apk is edited to look at 127.0.0.1/tether? That way it would be faster since it doesnt send data over the internet to check and it wont have a server cost that someone has to be hosting.

As long as you have an HTML server on your phone yes, that would work just fine.
But you need to set up a web server on your phone to get the appropriate response.

And thats only a guess. I am not an expert on web technology....
Another thing I was thinking too, you could also use the host file to redirect! You could try that if you understand how to edit the host file.

However, I do not have such file after decompiling lgsettings.apk.

No thats fine.. How did you decompile?
So you have a folder called "smali" or "out"
Depending on the specific ways you decompiled may change the name of that.
I wrote a very simple batch scrip on my website to decompile the classes.dex. You may want to look at that as it will be more straightforward for this simple edit.
Look here: http://www.scottsroms.com/showthread.php?404-TOOL-10-5-SmaliTOOL-1-2
Just grab the classes.dex from the apk, run my decompile tool, make changes per your needs, recompile with batch file, then inseret back into apk with file named as classes.dex.

All of this asumes you have Java installed and functioning.

It does not give me an OUT or SIMU folder, but I will try your method this weekend and see how this works out.
This decompiler gives a file called AndroidManifest, and a RES folder.
That RES folder has a bunch of subfolders, but not the ones you indicated.
I do have Java SE installed and working properly.
Thanks!
---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------
On a whim, I just unzipped the apk using a standard unzipper (The unarchiver on OSX) and saw the assets folder, classes.dex and com folder.

[Q] Is there any man remove ''checking subscription status'' when open mobile hotspot

like my old android 4.1.2 I want to open mobile hotspot without checking subscription status in my new android 4.3 galaxy s3 verizon
where are developers that will modify framework.jar file to enable this again in this new android verizon?
please help

If beans ever gets his 4.3 rom out it will probably be how you want. I know I'm waiting to install safestrap until he releases it. Until then I'm sure you could find a guide on how to do it.

Friday night I found out how to manually do it but java was being a pain in the butt and I wanted to test it before telling you how also so I could have the file to upload to you. Just so you know the file you needed to edit was the framework-res.apk not the .jar. the xml that needed to be edited was located at framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml
Decompiled it just fine but on the compile after I was done editing java was being stupid and the compile failed. Hope this information can help you in the future.

Or edit the framework-res.apk yourself. I am glad I know how now because I will never need to wait for someone else to do it. well the only reason Iwould is if foxfi breaks in a update.

Where did you learn how to edit the framework-res.apk? I would rather know how to do it myself but my java skills are rudimentary at best (though I am a quick learner!!). What did you use to do the editing?
Thanks!

I downloaded a note 2 recovery zip of the modified apk. I then spent about ten minutes googling where the tether subscription checker was located then compared my apk to the note 2 apk. A lot of trial and error if you would like to see it old and slow has a edited recovery zip for the 4.3 tether (came out a day after I was looking for it so that's why I didn't choose that one). Just decompile both apk and look in framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml. what I did when comparing it to the note 2 was open both of the XML in notepad++ and compare lines. I am confident I can now mod it without examples if it ever happens again. Finding a decompiler is the easy part there are a lot of free ones out there just Google it and as long as you can recognize every character in the XML (no odd symbols) it decompiled correctly. I could not find a guid on how to do this but I probably learned more from my errors than I would have learned from a step by step. Hope that helps and sorry if that made no sense typed it in a rush.

Oh and if you dig around in the apk long enough you might notice how easy (but time consuming) it would be to make your own custom modifications and themes for your own rom. I like doing it this way over xposed because no matter what I do xposed is super buggy for me.

How To Edit Your Personal User.txt​
Steps you need to do:
--- Windows users, download Notepad++ and install it.
--- Download "ROMCleaner_user.txt" or "NO-Sense_user.txt" from the firstpost
--- Open the text file with Notepad++
In the text file you will find two columns with app names and a description in this guide we use AdobeReader.apk as an example.
To Remove a file with ROMCleaner
Code:
AdobeReader.apk Adobe Reader PDF reader
In the case above "AdobeReader.apk" will be removed.
To keep a file with ROMCleaner If you decide to keep it, add a "#" at the beginning of the line:
Code:
[COLOR=Red]#[/COLOR]AdobeReader.apk Adobe Reader PDF reader
Let's say we are done with the edits. To continue just complete next list:
--- Press the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen to save the changes.
--- Copy the file onto your sdcard. The file must be located in "/sdcard/ROMCleaner" folder.
Now ROM Cleaner script will always read that file!​

No. I took the one he shares on that thread. I went in the zip file and made minor adjustments for my 4.1.2 Rom. Then used it. I haven't shared it because even though I made some changes, it is ultimately his work so I haven't shared the one I made modifications to due to me not asking for his permissions to distribute it publicly on our forum. So I have held on to it as a personal resource.

Well, you should know how frustrating it is developing, writing manuals and people not reading what they are flashing or how to use the freely provided software correctly. It takes lots of time dev-ing making it as user-friendly as possible. Most questions are answered in the manual, which you agreed to have read it while flashing.
Using ROMCleaner and edit it to your demands isn't really rocket science.
So don't stop reading manuals and replies, it will only lead to more frustration for us and to other users.
Having this said: I urge you leaving the discussion as it is, and PLEASE keep reading, as it shows some respect to Patrics83 and his team.

Here is a flashable zip for the on-screen navigation bar on the latest OTA (23.3.23). It will also disable the capacitative buttons, but does not disable the lighting, although that can be done easily with GravityBox[KK].
Flash in TWRP recovery. Flash the revert file to return to stock to accept future OTA's.
Neither file should flash on any other system than 23.3.23 on the Droid Ultra or Maxx, so there is little to no risk of damage, but you are solely responsible for your device.

Thanks! Could you point me in the direction of a tutorial to do this? I know you and WhiteChallenger were going back add fourth about this before, but I can't seem to find the thread. Thanks for your help!

Yeah, sorry, I've been meaning to get this done, just been crazy busy.
You'll need to have some form of apktool installed (I use android multitool, on mobile right now so no link, sorry). Pull framework-res.apk from system/framework. Decompile it using apktool.
In the decompiled folder, navigate to /res/values and open bools.XML. Notepad++ works great.
Go to around line 71 and change the "shownavigationbar" value from false to true. Then around line 178 change "config_showmenubar" from true to false.
Save the XML, and compile using apktool. Be sure to follow the directions to replace the manifest and meta-inf folder. I use 7zip for that.
Then, use 7zip again to replace the apk in the installer zip with the one you just edited. I would first make a copy of the installer and rename to reflect the new system version.
Finally, in 7zip, pull out the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Open in notepad++, and edit the ro.build.version.full line to match the new system. You can find this in the build.prop using root explorer on your phone. If this doesn't match, it won't install.
Save the file, and copy it back into the installer in 7zip, replacing the old one.
Flash and enjoy
Edit: this is off the top of my head, so if anything is wrong/doesn't work, let me know

Glad to hear it. I'd really appreciate it if you could post it in the main thread for others to use.
