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.

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

Hi..
Best tool will be apktool.. on windows or on linux..
Apktool for it.. Check details on the original thread for it..
Its pretty simple..
with latest apktool you can not only decompile and recompile apks but also jar files using apktool ... by
Code:
apktool d <nameofile>
or
Code:
apktool b <nameoffile>

Hi, I decompiled the Launcher on the galaxy s5 and I extracted this file so that the most 'experts can tell which files (lib or framwork) are used to make this launcher on galaxy i9505 ...

<uses-library android:name="touchwiz"/>

Also search for lib or .so in notepad++ it will tell you what libs it needs
nop
Is it possible also to i9500
Yes it is do the same thing. We can use I9500 launcher on I9505 so just do the same thing.
Get deodex version of the system dump or deodex it yourself.
Decompile the apk and look for needed libs in the androidmanifest.
(sws & touchwiz is in framework folder)
Now open up notepad++ and search for lib or .so files.
There's is possibility that it uses some new files due to its "magazine" feature oh and you might need magazine as well. Can't tell right now sorry.

jb/kitkat/lolipop apktool rc3

use correct framework-res
plus any other framework eg tw-framework
Use Advanced APK Tools for decompiling the APK files and you can also use the Attached Dex Editor to edit classes.dex files.....
Advanced APK tools is specially made for Xperia devicex. (use your "framework-res.apk" to install firmware in Advanced APK Tools)
(Drag and drop classes.dex in "Quick-Baksmali.cmd" to decompile and drag and drop the output folder is "Quick-Smali.cmd" to recompile.
