Apk Easy Tool is a lightweight GUI application that enables you to manage, sign, compile and decompile the APK files for the apps you are working on.
APK Easy Tool is absolute free for commercial and non-commercial use.
Please note: This tool is not meant for newbies, but meant for faster tasks for those who are lazy to use CMD
DISCONTINUED:
After 6 years, it has to be sadly announced that the project has been discontinued due to the changes my personal life, and lost the movitation to continue this project. I don't have the opportunity to get back to working on this anymore
Due to what happens with Android (Split APK/Android App Bundle, APK protections, Play Protect, system restrictions...) I decided to finish my Android journey right here. It was a nice experience, but not anymore.
The source code and assets are provided under download links. The project is based on C#, use Visual Studio 2019 or above to use it. Please feel free to continue developing with it, wish you good luck
Bitbucket server will be shut down at the end of 2022 (Jan 1 2023 00:00), users who use older version will no longer recieve update notification. Bitbucket became horrible service anyways, so there is no point keeping it up anymore I decided to keep Bitbucket server up in order to prevent threat actors from taking over

Getting started:
For the first time you launch the tool, it will automatically set apktool.jar and work directories for you. You can change it in Options
Selecting/opening APK or decompiled folder will be used as your main project work. So if you doing actions, it will be placed in your work directories that was been set.
Spaces are supported but accent characters are barely supported, you may need to rename it before opening APK. APK filename that contains chinese, japanese etc will still not work.
Drag and drop are supported. The files would be placed on the same directory where the apk came from
You do not need to use Framework unless you know what you are doing, it is for ROM developers and System App modder only
It works the same way as the command line version, just a bit faster
I don't cover how to modify APK in general, that just beyond the scope

Please keep this thread on-topic, and anything about apktool related only. I can't help with anything else unless it's really caused by APK Easy Tool or apktool. I won't be able to answer every inquiries stuff that may be already explained here!
FAQ:
Spoiler: FAQ
Q: Can you support .aab (Android app bundle)/Split APK format?
A: No, it's more complicated than you thought and I don't have time for that, not really a fan of app bundle. Just use any APK sites such as APK Combo to download standalone APK. There is no harm working with standalone APK.
If you need to merge split APK/app bundle, please look for alternative tools, like APKEditor https://github.com/REAndroid/APKEditor or Split APKs Packer https://www.andnixsh.com/2020/06/sap-split-apks-packer-by-kirlif-windows.html
Q: I'm getting an error "brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = -1073741701)"
This is a problem with Java 32-bit.
32-bit is old and support will be stopped on apktool 2.6.0. Please consider to switch to Windows 64-bit system, and use Java 64-bit or JDK 64-bit. Java and JDK doesn't matter
Q: How can I use other apktool.jar version?
A: Download apktool.jar here: https://bitbucket.org/iBotPeaches/apktool/downloads/
Place apktool.jar inside \APK Easy Tool\Apktool. Restart the tool if running
Go to Options and switch apktool version
Do not forget to clear the framework after switching version!
Q: I'm getting an error "'Java' is not found as an internal or external command"
A: Reinstall Java or JDK
Q: I'm getting an error "Error: An unexpected error while trying to open file (...)"
A: Symbols and special characters, chinese, japanese, arabic, etc are not supported. It is a known issue of the Windows system. Please remove any of these characters from the filename or the path, make sure it only contains latin alphabets
Q: I'm getting an error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
A: Go to Options tab and increase Java heap size
If your system is Windows 64-bit, it is recommended to uninstall Java 32-bit version (and all other Java versions if you don't use) and install Java 64-bit or JDK 64-bit. Java and JDK doesn't matter
Q: I'm getting an error "Error occurred during initialization of VM. Could not reserve enough space for (...)KB object heap"
A: Go to Options tab and reduce Java heap size. Recommended size: 1024m
If your system is Windows 64-bit, it is recommended to uninstall Java 32-bit version (and all other Java versions if you don't use) and install Java 64-bit or install JDK 64-bit. Java and JDK doesn't matter
Q: Window is not opening but still appear in taskbar
A: The window is out of screen, edit the config.xml and change
Code:
<CheckBoxWinPos>true</CheckBoxWinPos>
to
Code:
<CheckBoxWinPos>false</CheckBoxWinPos>
Q: Drag and drop does not work
Do not run it as administrator. Windows never allow drag and drop if an application running as administraor for security reason
Q: How to update or delete AETShellExt.dll?
A: If you are using shell extension for APK Easy Tool and you want to update, you must unregister and uninstall it first
Open APK Easy Tool. Go to options -> General and click Uninstall to uninstall Context menu integration. It will ask you for admin rights
Windows 8/10: Open Task Manager and restart all explorer.exe processes
Windows 7: Open Task Manager, end task all explorer.exe processes and run new task explorer.exe
Then you can replace or delete AETShellExt.dll and don't forget SharpShell.dll ServerRegistrationManager.exe too
Q: Is drag and drop supported?
A: Yes it supports drag and drop APK/ZIP file Simply drop a file on buttons to do something.
Examples:
- Drop an APK file on "Decompile APK" button to decompile APK in the same directory
- Drop an APK file outside (drop file on white background) to select APK to work on.
Q: How can I reset APK Easy Tool?
A: Go to Options -> General. Scroll down and click Reset to default. You can also manually delete config.xml beside its exe
Q: Is APK Easy Tool collecting any data?
A: No, we respect your privacy very seriously. This tool can only connect to my read-only repo server that only checks for updates, and downloading update, nothing more.
Q: Alternatives?
A: I do like other nice alternatives, I don't competing against them. Try out Tickle My Android, a command line tool that are also easy to use. And if you are fan of IDE, try out APK Studio or APKLab. There are a lot more of tools than that. But don't expect that using other tools will solve any Apktool issues
Troubleshooting:
Spoiler: Troubleshooting
It's not unusual that it can't decompile or compile. Please try the troubleshooting below to see if it solves the problem:
Keep in mind that there's a big difference between identifying issues related specifically to the "APK Easy Tool Software" and the "Apktool Java Utility (by iBotPeaches).
More info https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...1-58-3-dec-2020.3333960/page-25#post-79520098. Thanks @Ibuprophen for explaining
Make sure the filename does not contain any symbol or special characters like chinese, japanese, arabic etc since apktool.jar is command line based tool, it does not support it
Use latest version of apktool.jar (See FAQ for more info)
If you are using latest version of apktool.jar, try use older version of apktool.jar. Sometimes it can mitigate the issue (See FAQ for more info)
Go to Framework tab and clear the framework, and decompile the APK again. It can solve most of resource errors
Decompile APK with "Only disassemble the main dex classes (classes[0-9]*.dex) in the root" checked. Prevents disasemble dex from assets folder) (apktool 2.4.1 and up only)
Decompile APK with "Don't decode resources.arsc" checked if you are only editing Java (smali) (It will prevent the decompile of resources. This keeps the resources.arsc intact without any decode.)
Decompile APK with "Don't decode classes.dex" checked if you are only editing the resources (xml) (--no-src will prevent the disassembly of the dex file(s). This keeps the apk dex file(s) and simply moves it during build.)
Compile with "Use the aapt2 binary instead of aapt" checked (Use the aapt2 binary instead of appt)
Sometimes Java 8 64-bit works better than Java 8 32-bit. If your system is Windows 64-Bit, please uninstall Java 32-bit version (and all other Java versions you don't use) and install Java 64-bit version (Windows Offline (64-bit)) or install JDK 64-bit if you are developing Java. Java and JDK does not matter for apktool.jar
Sometimes your antivirus may prevent it from working correctly. Disable it temporary
If nothing solves your problem, please check list of Apktool.jar errors

I didn't think about it, because i was thinking that the APK can't install without signing so i added sign apk. i have never tried to sign system apps because i don't develop system apps but i will fix it asap

I have tested it on any apk tools and all of them failed to re-compile. It seems the APK is preventing from recompiling. I will contact the owner of apktool.jar to see if he can help
Ok,thanks. The same situation is with uc browser.

Well, having been developing on the SGS2 and SGS3 for awhile, I finally got my ASUS Infinity TF700T.
I have successfully made changes to framework-res.apk.
I wanted to make changes to the SystemUI.apk. The decompile with apktool worked (I think). But, when I tried to recompile it could not find some files. The files do not exist in the res/drawable or res/layout folders.
Has anyone been able to decompile/recompile a stock SystemUI.apk?
I have tried various combinations of apktool.jar (1.4.2 thru 1.4.9) as well as using different aapt.exe files. Nothing seems to work.
Here is the error if anyone is interested:

I got the exact same error for my HTC One X! This not only occurs with SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk gives the same problem as well! Really hope someone can provide a solution.

Ill try something tomorow, I used to have the same problem with roms and stuff for the sensation but I got a way around that now. But I want to make sure if that is the same problem with this, before posting any say that I got a fix XD
UPDATE:
I am trying to decompile/compile SystemUI.apk on an ASUS Transformer infinity (ICS 4.0.3). The file decompiles ok, but does not compile. When I turned on java -verbose, I noticied apktool could not find some .pngs. They are in the drawable-hdpi folder and defined in the values/public.xml file.
Example: in /drawable/status_bar_expand.xml there is a line:
<item android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_expand_default" />
It cannot find status_bar_expand_default.png. It is defined in public.xml and is a .png in the drawable-hdpi folder.
According to user IBotPeaches, who is continuing work on apktool, it is a problem with apktool and he is working on correcting it.
When he does, and it works, then I can start posting some mods for the TF700T.
I currently have CRT OFF working, but most of what I want to do involves SystemUI.apk.
Sorry for the stupid question, but what exactly is "CRT OFF" - I've seen that mentioned a few places....
Thanks!

It's the way old TVs used to turn off.

Hey Guys,
I was modding my SystemUI.apk. I successfully decompiled it with apktool (the latest one), made the changes and then recompiled. I didn't make any changes to .9.png files, when I tried to recompile... it failed, I get this error ---

part. BTW, I did tinker with the XMLs but I didn't make any changes to them. What does "[aapt, p, --min-sdk-version, 10, --target-sdk-version, 10, -F, /tmp/APKTOOL2376566775151219854.tmp, -I, /root/apktool/framework/1.apk, -S, /home/jason/SystemUI/res, -M, /home/jason/SystemUI/AndroidManifest.xml]" mean???
Any Ideas? I do have SDK installed...
Thanks in advance guys!
The only errors that mean anything is the beginning. The rest are due to that one error. It states that the styles XML is pointing to a style that isn't there. Do you have the proper frameworks installed?
Wayne Tech Nexus
Thanks for Replying!
I do have framework files installed... I did "apktool if framework-res.apk". That is the only framework apk I can find.
Ok here is your errors. Cross ref these in the decompiled frameworks apk
/home/jason/SystemUI/res/values/styles.xml:3: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@*android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Panel'.
/home/jason/SystemUI/res/values/styles.xml:8: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name '@*android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Panel'.
There is no such thing called Theme.Holo.Light.Panel in the decompiled framework! Wait a second, the SystemUI that I'm trying to edit has already been edited by someone, is that the reason things are not working???
Theme.Holo.Light.Panel is not there in any XML, I double checked.
Thanks!

Well... no, I didn't pull the framework-res from the phone after installing the ROM because I can't setup ADB on Linux . I recently posted a thread where I asked if anybody knew the solution but nobody responded:crying:. I tried most of the methods out there to setup ADB on Linux but none of them work. I got the framework-res straight out of the flashable ZIP of the ROM.
Thank you!

They should be the same thing. And you are running the if command for apktool for both the framework-res and the system ui apks right?

Thats what I did today myself. I have a proper dual boot going with win7 and ubuntu 13.04.
I believe this is the same problem I described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41045630#post41045630
In a nutshell, old APKs aren't compatible with new AAPT, mainly private extended styles and parents inherited must be present.

After downloading apktool(Thank you soo much for this), I replaced the aapt provided with apktool with the aapt from the latest SDK. Is this the reason?
I need some help changing the home screen grid size of the Blinkfeed launcher ported for AOSP based ROM's. I have created a seperate thread for the HTC One S here. The original thread is here.
The grid size in the launcher is currently 4 x 4 but it is too spaced out vertically (see attached pic). So what I want to do is change the prism.apk to reduce the vertical spacing for 4 x 4 and create a separate zip with a 4 x 5 grid size.
I understand the files that need changing are integers.xml and dimens.xml in prism.apk
The problem I am having is that I am unable to compile the prism.apk. I have tried using APKTool and Virtuous 10 Studio and get the same following error:
C:\Android\APK Tool\prismblack\res\values\styles.xml:2868: error: Error: No reso

I get this error without even changing any of the values, just decompiling, then compiling the prism.apk again. I have tried updating the APKTool version, updating the aapt.exe file, reinstalling Android SDK. The launcher only works on android 4.4 so I've updated the SDK to the newest version, still get the same errors.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this to compile or can anyone try to compile this on their system to see if its the file itself?
Also, does anyone have the values that I need to change the dimens.xml file to, so it fit's correctly on the One S? Otherwise its trial and error.
@Flashalot @rc420head @grorg - All help would be greatly appreciated.

1 - To change the the drawer to 4x5 and so on I believe is done with smail and the files you have already mentioned but I haven't done this mod in awhile
2 - did you decompile with m8 framework installed seeing as it from the m8 I would believe you have to decompile it with the framework

Legend. That was it, added the framework and it compiled correctly. :good:
The app drawer grid size I'm not bothered about, its more the homescreen. The guides I have looked at don't mention editing smali files so I'll try with just integers.xml and dimens.xml and see what happens.
One quick question, do you know if the values I need to change in dimens.xml will be the same with all devices with hdpi resolution or will they be specific to the ville?
Edit: Tried all the guides/tutorials, nothing changes, must have to change the smali files as well.
i can decompile and recompile systemui.apk

apktool if framework-res.apk (here xxxxxx.apk is your desired apk file)
step-2(decompile)
apktool d xxxxxxx.apk
step-3(recompile)
apktool b -f -d xxxxxxx
you find the recompiled apk in xxxxxx/dist folder open it with winrar or 7zip .now open original apk file with 7zip or winrar and drag and drop
META-INF and resource files there give the compression level as (store) and sign it(important)

Ok, follow this steps:
1. Have you installed the latest java jdk and jre?
2. Have you download the latest android sdk?
3. Download the platform tools in android sdk. The latest tools + the one from build 17 or 19. I dont know for sure.
4. Go to the folder platform tools and there should be aapt.exe. copy this to your apktool folder. The only files there should be are the .exe .jar and .bat files.
Make sure there are no spaces in the names of folders.
Added: this thread should actually go to Q&A

i have everything i am able to recompile and decompile everythin but this doesnt get compiled
Well as i see in your command you are using "b" wich means that you are recompiling.
If you want to edit framework-res.apk you need to install it firts by running the command: apktool if framework-res.apk. then decompile: apktool d framework-res.apk.then modify your framework. THEN, at last, run: apktool b framework-res, Without .apk. Now it is finished.
If it still doesn't work you have to try an other aapt.exe.
