How do I get apktool working on android ? Where do I download latest working version ? I had apktool working but now I flashed custom rom and I installed it again and it won't work. It won't install framework and doesn't decompile the whole app
code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Yes, it wont decompile whole app successfully sometimes, so it's better to edit the smali code which can be wholly decompiled successfully.
Hope this can help you

I think the files in your link is not apktool...
Apktool is a jar file for decompiling and recompiling apks.
Use with cmd, example:
apktool.jar d filetobedecompile.apk
apktool.jar if frameworktobeinstall.apk
apktool.jar b filetoberecompile
It's definitely not an apk so far, so you should go to the official page on google code and download the official jar file.
Hope this can help you. Hit thanks!

Are those commands I can use in terminal emulator ? Does it change a jar file to apk or let me run jar files ? I don't know how to get terminal emulator working. I tried a java app that says it can run java files but the app wouldn't run. @henry0504

Do you know any other way ? I tried different apps that are suppose to run Java apps and they close when I try running the app or I couldn't get it to run the java app.

I don't get what you really mean, but you can try JBED for running java file on Android.
But I strongly recommend you to use computer to decompile apks. If you don't have one, you can't decompile apks and use apktool.

Our spicas comes with a built in apk, it is a Java VM, and it let you load java from the SD card I think. You should get that apk.

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.

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.

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....
Hi.
I have tried many times decompile this apk with many versions of apktools but without success. Every tool "speak" something about wrong framework version. How can i decompile this apk without errors?

Windows : C:\Users\Your-User-Name\apktool\framework
Linux: Extract to /home/apktool/framework
Also if you use framework-res / lge-res from the rom with the SystemUI.apk you want to edit you can use
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
to generate frameworks. Do not forget to Copy META-INF + AndroidManifest.xml from Original apk to the edited one without them PackageManagerService will Reject the apk:good:
Thanks defcomg
edit
properly decompiled with your framework files, thanks again.

I was recently looking for system ui smali mods and I came across this apk tool app and I thought I would share it, I think it works good so far but your working with a smaller screen other wise its really nice
Download: ApkTool v4.7.apk
Update fix for Lollipop Roms :ApkToolUpdate.zip
Instructions :
After you install the apk be sure to go to your Framework apks and hit import framework before you do anything
Also Copy system apks to SD card or you with get decompile errors
If you have problems with decompiling system apps on Lollipop flash update zip that has updated jars
You shouldn't have any problems with kit kat though I believe so no need to flash update.zip
Flash via FlashFire
And Finally Enjoy

Documentation on this app is hard to find
Documentation on this app is hard to find, did you write this? From what I can gather it turns your active rom into a rom package for redistribution? I'm assuming that's what they mean by create rom? Who wrote this gem? Amazing app

As far as I know, Apktool hasn't been updated in a while. You might need to find a different tool or method.

Yup, I can confirm. I tried to decompile it with apktool, but same errors.
If you really need to decompile it, you can use JEB Decompiler. I've used it when apktool failed and it was successful. I used it only for the trial time, but you can install it and use your free trial to decompile this apk.

Thank you for your interest. There's no framework-res.apk. I tried decompile in the usual way. I'm guessing this APK file needs a password for decompile. However, using the password-finding program did not produce any results.

You're welcome, and an apk doesn't need a password to be decrypted, it need to be decompiled only. Buy if the tools aren't up to date with the lastest compiling and decompiling methods, you'll get errors like this one.

What I do it decompile with JEB and Recompile with apktool, but maybe they added the recompile feature. If you don't find a solution, use apktool and hopefully it'll work just fine.

No, I don't know them specifically, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it discussed before. Just do a search for:
"How to decompile/recompile apk files using Linux"
I'm sure it will find something, if I'm correct.

Thanks to friends,
I was able to see the source code when I used JEB. The problem is.. it couldn't extract all of the resources(maybe). Looks like structure is different, it is questionable whether the APK file can be recreated. (And, I was able to see the code even using classyshark. But, it is not decompiler.)
I used about 20 programs, but most of them failed.
