How to unpack .dat files for an app within data partition? - General Questions and Answers

How could I unpack the .dat files in the data directory of an app?
Specific Example:
I've .dat files from Packet Capture that I need to unpack them to be able to see text and images for the packets (request and responses) I captured. I need to search within them on my PC. The normal export process within the app is very exhausting (requires me export each single request). But this way I can unpack all the .dat files and search within them easily.
The .dat files of Packet Capture exist in /data/data/app.greyshirts.sslcaptre/files/
Here's an example .dat file.

Does anybody knows a file manager that is capable to:
1) Browse any files
2) Create any files
3) Change any proprieties/attributes of any files
4) Edit any files
5) View any files as text
6) And the rest of any thing that can be made with files.
The reason I ask is because I don't know a program that can open an file as text and have the ability to edit that text and then save it.

In addition to apktool (thanks, @kaiodduarte), you're also going to need a good text editor (I use Notepad++), an archive manager (like 7zip or WinRAR), and the ZipSigner app for your device.

[TOOL][SCRIPT] Alliance wbp2png Batch Converter

Hello XDA,
Here's a simple script, brought to you by ALLIANCE and myself, that will allow you to easily convert the .wbp files found in many newer apps to more manageable .png files, either individually, or in batches. For other image formats, such as .pkm and .atc, please see my thread here.
***This script is currently for Windows only.***​
The script utilizes a tool called dwebp to handle the decoding. dwebp can be run by itself to convert .wbp files to .png via the command prompt with the following:
Code:
dwebp <inputfile.wbp> -o <outputfile.png>
It has other commands and options, but for our purposes, that's the only one we're interested in. For creating .wbp files from other image formats, you can use its' sister tool, cwebp. For more information or to download the entire WebP package, please visit Google Developers.
On to the script....
SETUP
Download the attached zip file, and extract it to a location of your choice. Inside, you will find four files: dwebp.exe, a copy of these instructions, and two batch files.
Select the two batch files, right-click, and select Create Shortcut.
Next, open the run dialog (Start > Run, or windows key + r), type in "sendto" without the quotes, and press enter.
Either move or copy the two shortcuts that you created into the sendto folder, then close it. Now you're ready to convert....
USAGE
To convert individual .wbp files, simply right-click on one, and select Send To > wbp2png (file). The script will run for a couple of seconds, and once it finishes, you will have a .png in the same folder as your .wbp, and with the same name.
To convert multiple .wbp files at once, select the folder containing them (drawable-xxhdpi, for example), right-click, select Send To > wbp2png (folder), and let it do its' magic. Once it's finished, you will have .png versions of any .wbp files contained in the folder.
During batch conversion, you will likely notice several lines in the cmd output that say BITSTREAM_ERROR. This simply means that it encountered a file that was not a .wbp or .png file (such as .xml files) and is skipping over it. It is perfectly safe, and the error can be ignored.
Originally, I created this script so that it would delete the original .wbp files after it had finished generating the .pngs, but I decided to remove that functionality so that, should something go wrong in the decoding process, the user still has the originals, without having to decompile their apk again. In order to be able to recompile your apk, the .wbp files will have to be removed, once you have the .png equivalents. If anyone would like the script to remove them automatically, let me know and I can tell you how to add that functionality yourself.
Thank you,
~Morningstar

Yes. It works with both. I don't even understand how it works with xposed, but it does. Flawlessly.

DCIM directory rename?

Hi there
I wanted to know if i can change the name of the directory for where photos/videos I capture are saved? Renaming the file itself doesn't work as Android just creates a new "100ANDRO" file instead and continues to save new files there.
No you cannot, until you edit the camera application.
The app dsc-rename can move the pic's automaticly in another folder

[Resolved] Recovering a ThreemaID from TWRP backup without root

Hi!
For everyone who has lost his ThreemaID because of damaged phone, here is my solution.
All you need is an old TWRP/Nandroid backup that contains the data partition of your phone (you should have installed Threema before you backed up the data ) and a software like 7Zip (on Windows) or tar (on Linux).
Copy the TWRP/Nandroid files to your computer. On my XPeriaZ5 they are named from data.ext4.win000 to data.ext4.win006. These files are normal ".tar.gz" files. Rename them to data.ext4.win000.tgz ... data.ext4.win006.tgz.
Use 7Zip or tar to browse the archive and navigate to "/data/data/ch.threema.app/files/".
Inside this directory, you will find a file named "idbackup.txt".
Extract and open this file. It contains your ThreemaID in plain text format.
Start Threema on your new (unrooted) phone and tell Threema to restore your ID from text.
Enter the long code you found in idbackup.txt (you will be asked for your password)
Feel happy
