[TOOL] APK Editor Studio – Free APK reverse-engineering tool - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Great program for replacing and adding assets, changing app version, sdk target or permissions, also changing smali to escape ads loading...etc.
Update: ApkTool.jar 2.4.0. has error, but 2.3.x and 2.4.1 work fine.

Error opening apk file
Error unpacking APK.

As stated in the requirements, you should use Java 8 or later.

Hi
I tried to modify the APK of an app changing its title and icon.
Then I tried to install the modified and recompiled APK but Android installer asks to update the original app and does not install a new 'instance' of the app.
Maybe I'm totally wrong hoping this app (APK Editor Studio) allows to do what I described.
Please, can someone explain if I have some hope in doing what I need using this wonderful APK Editor? Do I have to change some file inside the APK?
Just for information I'm trying to edit the app named 'CoopVoce' (you can find it in the Play Store) in order to be able to have on my phone two different 'profiles' allowing me to manage my GSM-contract and my mother's one (this feature is not allowed in the original app).
Thanx for your support. C87

Hi,
Application instances have nothing to do with an app name or icon. There is a property called package name which represents a unique identifier of an application. In order to have multiple instances of an Android app, you will have to manually change it (e.g., check out this guide). Since you will need to work with the APK contents, you can still use APK Editor Studio and click File --> Explore Contents.
Also, the ability to easily change Android package name is planned in future releases.

It is not possible to reinstall / update modded apk over original unless you have the same key/keystore/password as the author. Author of app made his own, and you could use generic/test keystore (username and password: android) or your own.
Or if you use "Patch Android" in certain-piracy-app to "accept all keys as true" and "enable installing of older version", you could install modded app over original...but you risk to got unstable system.
Or better way - make cloned app (with on exp. App Cloner 2.4.1) of your modded app and install it as "new" app.

Great tool!.
I am no developer but the tools is easy enough to navigate around in Debian.
I would like to use this tool to remove trackers from APK.
The manifest is easy enough to remove them but after I compiling and installing them (with new app name) successfully, when I run Warden from FDroid (another great tool, used to check for trackers, loggers in apps), I am still able to detect the same number of trackers as before I modify in APK Editor Studio.
Can advise how to use this tool to remove those sneaky trackers before compiling them? Is it necessary to decompile the apk to dex files in order to remove them?

Most likely, yes.
You can turn on decompilation to Smali in Settings → Options → Repacking → Decompile source code.
Methods of removing such trackers and loggers may vary from application to application, so you might have better luck searching for the corresponding information at the thematic posts.

Thanks for the reply. I will check it out.
Once again, appreciate the tool given.
Hope to see continued updates and guides in future :good:

Hello. Tell me or give a link for instructions on moving (porting, installing) some system applications from android 10 to android 9. In the vastness of the Internet, I probably looked badly, did not find instructions. I want to install the Package Installer from android 10 to android 9.

First of all, app need to be deodex (single apk file, not base.apk + odex/vdex files).
Most of apps can work if you change Minimum SDK from 29 (Android 10) to 28 (9.0 - Pie) (look at the upper right column Manifest in APK Editor studio).
Now look for AndroidManifest.xml in Files System column and delete
<queries> ... </queries> lines, if any.
Then save apk.

Hello.
Can anyone help for one application for watching TV.
I want after the correct user input name and password , the application does not want to re-enter.
If anyone can help write to me personally.

can this decompile an apk, then help me remove all ads for a specific app then rebuild apk without ads?
if not what can?

Can anyone help, how to change app name and icon displayed inside android auto launcher?
Thanks,

非常感谢

Hi all !! This is a guide on how to mod your Settings.apk to make it like an ICS's one !!
My sincere credits to iiandskater. He is the one who FIRST made MODS like this. I learnt these by comparing his MOD !!
He hasn't come up with a guide because he doesn't have time . (I think so!)
If you have completed modding and posting it ( on any website/forum), then please give credits and give a link to this thread !! This helps it reaching more people !! Thanks.
Pre-requisites:
-7zip
-Notepad++
This guide helps you to mod your settings' main screen only. If you want mod even other screens, then you need to read - why this/that step is done.
If you want to know 'Why is this/that step done?' , then read the post completely !!
I'll start from the basics.
Starting with basics:
1. Decompile your Settings.apk with 'apktool' (or) Apk Multi-tool (or) anything like that of your comfort !
Why is this/that step done?: It is done in order to decode .xml files the apk.
I decompiled with apktool.
2. Now navigate to Decompiled_Folder\res\values
3. There, open 'strings.xml' with notepad++
4. Go to the very end of the file, there above </resources>, add the following:
Code:
<string name="location_settings_title">Location service</string>
<string name="settings_ics_system">SYSTEM</string>
<string name="settings_ics_radio">WIRELESS & NETWORKS</string>
<string name="settings_radio_more">More...</string>
<string name="settings_ics_device">DEVICE</string>
<string name="settings_ics_personal">PERSONAL</string>
<string name="settings_ics_system_cap">SYSTEM</string>
<string name="power_usage_summary_text">Battery</string>
It should look like this:
Now save the file and close it.
Why is this/that step done?: This is for the 'text' that appear at different places. For example:
5. Now navigate to decompiled_folder\res\xml\
6. There open 'settings.xml' with notepad++
Any phone's user can follow upto this blindly, but from here you should do similar things for your phone.
HTC users, read this
7. Your 'settings.xml' will look like this (may not be exact)(this is my modded settings.xml - i'll explain what i have modded):
Now i have separated different 'things'/tags with an empty line between them, so that you won't get confused:
Here, i will explain every different 'things'/tags with only one example, other things, you yourself will have try because others will be similar to what i explain.
Preference screen:
From the above picture, i am taking only the circled (can't 'define' its radius lol ).
Now lets zoom it:
On reading it, you yourself can understand that:
---android:title="@string/wifi_quick_toggle_tittle" refers to a TEXT registered under the string name "wifi_quick_toggle_tittle" in the 'strings.xml'.
Now check in your 'strings.xml', which is located at res/values/, by searching for "wifi_quick_toggle_tittle". There you will find this line/line similar to this:
Code:
<string name="wifi_quick_toggle_title">Wi-Fi</string>
You can very well understand that the TEXT between the tags here(in strings.xml) will appear on the screen !!
---settings:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_wireless"> refers to the icon located at res/drawable-ldpi (or) res/drawable-xxxx(that of your phone).
You can leave other things as it is but except for android:targetClass="com.android.settings.wifi.WifiSettings". This is because according to this only, you are directed to another screen on selecting it !!
Here, i need to go to Wi-Fi settings on selecting it directly from the main screen. So i need to change it.
To change, i opened res/xml/wireless_settings.xml
There, like what we have seen earlier, many preference screens will be defined. There i found the preference screen of Wi-Fi settings
I copied the android:targetClass="xxxxxxxxxxxx"(something given there) to Settings.xml file.
If you want to do it for Bluetooth, then copy any of the preference screen completely [from <com.android.settings...... to </com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>
Then make changes in the title , icon, and target classs.
Not yet over, last thing:
Adding custom categories like Device, Personal, System etc.
It is this line that makes it:
Place it anywhere above (or) in-between any two preference screens !!
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/settings_ics_radio" />
About icons, I'll tell after re-compiling.
8. Re-Compiling it:
After making all necessary changes and saving the 'xml' files, re-compile (or) build the apk. You should not get any error.
9. After building it, you'll find the new 'Settings.apk' in decompiled_folder/dist. Do NOT use it.
Now Go the folder where you have ORIGINAL/STOCK Settings.apk. Now simply extract it to any folder, say "settings-new", using 7zip.
8. Now go to decompiled_folder/build/apk
From there copy the 'resources.arsc' file and paste it in "Settings-new" folder. Replace it.
9. Now again, go to decompiled_folder/build/apk/res/xml. There copy 'settings.xml'
Paste it in Settings-new/res/xml folder. Replace if asked.
10. ICONS:
After downloading the icons.zip, you'll find the icons in 'drawable-ldpi' folder. Copy everything and paste it in Settings-new/res/drawable-xxxx (that of your phone). [If you do not know what is that 'xxxx' for your phone, then paste it in every 'drawable-ldpi/mdpi' folder]
Replace if asked.
11. Now come back and open "Settings-new" folder. You'll find 6 objects there, including folders. Now select them all --> "7zip" --> "Add to archive...". There, select 'Archive format as 'zip'and 'compression level' as 'Store' and then select 'ok'.
12.Now rename the newly formed 'xxxx.zip' file to 'xxxx.apk'.
Before copying to system/app rename it to Settings.apk instead some xxxx.apk !!
Now your apk is ready to be put in system/app !!
If you have completed everything and would like to distribute it, then download the 'Pre-scripted-update.zip' from attachments.
Open the archive with 7zip (no need to extract) go to system/app. Just drag and drop your modded 'Settings.apk'.
Thats all !! Close it and flash it via recovery !!
Thats all....i believe........still can refine it.......!
Icons-uploaded........!!
If you have completed modding and posting it ( on any website/forum), then please give credits and give a link to this thread !! This helps it reaching more people !! Thanks.
If you like this thread, the hit THANKS !!

thanks for this guide i'm searching from 5 days to but i can't find.

You're welcome !!

First, Try re-compiling it without any changes.............
Even when doing that, if you get that error, then you won't be able to compile it even after modding.....
so follow this:
Download my ICS Settings for FROYO (without unlock settings) from my signature.
Try decompiling and recompiling it (install both frameworks fr0m attachments). You should not get any error......
Now go to the folder where you've decomiled your settings.apk. There, after making necessary changes in the xml files(strings.xml & settings.xml) and saving them:
1. copy ALL files under res/values of YOUR decompiled settings folder and replace them in that of mine.
2. Similarly, now copy & replace settings.xml from your folder in mine.
Now compile MY settings folder.
You should not get any error.
After compilation, copy resources.arsc from build/apk of MY folder.
2. Extract (not decompile) YOUR stock settings.apk. Paste & replace resources.arsc there.
Like wise replace settings.xml from build/apk/res/xml of my folder.
Also place/replace icons like that.
Now make a zip of all the contents (in the folder where you EXTRACTED) as said in first post.
Now your apk is ready.....try n reply !!!

Brilliant.

one thing that u can try is, download all apktool files again (.jar file, aapt and the script) and place it in a new location in the root of your windows drive (mostly C:\)......and also try deleting the folder apktool under C:\users\*username*\

How to do it:
Download & Install ImageMagick (Q16)
Download the file below. Unzip it to a place with no spaces. e.g. C:\
Place the PNGs you want to convert in "in" folder.
The default output folder is "out"
Be sure to set the right DPI for source and destination (in & out folder)
Run: RUN-ME.bat
Y to Start converting
N to modify settings
X to Exit
Versions:
JAR version: 2.0.0
BAT version: 0.1

Please do not ask me to make this compatible with Linux, UNIX, BSD, or Mac. I will not!
[highlight]Windows ONLY[/highlight]
(If you found a way to install ImageMagick on one of the OS above, and modified the "convert_command" code for your OS, please let me know.)

hey. with this theme would i be able to convert HDPI CM9/10 themes to MDPI?

in Debian linux,
apt-get install imagemagick
imagemagick for linux is called by typing command without the .exe, and the path to it is set automatically when it is installed by apt-get.
can't execute the RUN-ME.bat in a minimal Wine (windows emulator) install 'cause it can't get at imagemagick or Java. bummer.

Hmmm I think you could manually set the Linux command for the imagemajick settings, it should be similar to the one in the settings.INI
Set your imagmacjick path to where the Linux has the convert.exe
Then just execute the JAR file

But I would also have to manually extract all pngs from each folder then I would have to put all the pngs back into the correct folders after I'm done
Right? Is there a less time consuming method?

To the OP::
I'd be willing to write a GUI front-end for windows to automate extracting/replacing images within the apk's or zip files along with executing the script. I have another project in the works, but I can put this together if we get enough input.

I get a Java is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Hmmm, you could write a GUI, only if it's not time consuming. I actually have a batch file that does unzipping and zipping. I could merge that with this batch file.
Which one do you guys want? GUI or Command Line (Batch)? My batch file is pretty user-friendly, but it's likely to be the GUI that will be more user-friendly.

Can you send me a screenshot?

Hey there!
Maybe you know my tool StudioAndroid bit.ly/SA-XDA
It has a resize option to, done with ImageMagick or PIL.
Maybe you can tell me why convert does not work on linux? It does for me... maybe I can help you!
And can you tell me how to resize the 9png's? Atm I just copy them over to the right dir without resizing anything..
Btw, yes, my tool also resizes (and much more) and is for Mac, Linux and Windows.
Maybe we could share experiences!

Yes I know you
I resize the .9.pngs all because of the JAR file. But that JAR file is dependent on the settings.ini
To make it work on linux, mac, etc, you'll need to have the right values.
The convert_command is the path where convert.exe is located PLUS the commands: "-resize %3$s -unsharp 0x1 %1$s %2$s"
I think the convert.exe should be where ImageMagick is installed, maybe because of the dependencies inside the installation location.
And everything else in the settings.ini is pretty straightforward...

What is CMX?
This is a batch script that runs on Windows to port CM11 themes to work with XTheme/HKTheme engine.
Unless porting png's solely, this is designed to take most of the leg work out of porting themes across, so expect some errors when working with the xml's. It is difficult to encompass all the different CM11 themes and quirks they bring with them without downloading and testing each and every theme available.
Ive tried to make the script as unobtrusive and self sufficient as possible with minimal user input in automatic mode.
If you include xml's, some manual labour may be necessary depending on the theme so expect to get your hands dirty. From the themes I've tested with xml's included, 50% have ported straight through and 50% have failed and required some extra attention.
When the script runs through the asset configuring phase (png's/xml's) it will open up a window for each package folder one at a time. One folder must finish processing before the other begins.
Requirements:
Java development kit (jdk) -Link. Installed and in your environment path -Link
CM11 theme to port Take your pick.
The ability to solve apktool log errors. I will help, but I will not spoonfeed!!.
Time Taken:
Setting up 10 minutes (inc. Java install)
Porting (depending on theme)
png's only- 2 minutes.
Difficulty- 2/10. Common error- 9 patch faults.
inc. xml's- 5 minutes.
Difficulty- Dependant on theme. Common error- xml faults.
Basically my script will work as follows when ran and "Automatic" is selected:
Set up required folders.
Automatically detect the apk in "CMThemeIn" folder and set it as the project or prompt the user to insert an apk.
Decompile set theme.
Create all the redirection.xml's required.
Cycle through the
Code:
assetsoverlays*InsertPackageNameHere*resdrawable
folders, and move them to the corresponding folder in the XTheme folder.
Gather xmls from res "drawable" and values" and insert appropriate redirections for that package name.
Ask the user to input a package name in AndroidManifest.xml.
Ask the user to input a theme, app, author and original themer name in strings.xml.
Compile, sign, zipalign and then place the output in "XThemeFinished" folder" ready for installing.
Currently the ports are best served with AOSP but there is an option to add redirections for TouchWiz and Semc (JellyBean 4.2 framework-res.apk).
The script offers you the option to include xml's or not.
Depending on the android version you are using certain xml's may not work or cause conflicts resulting in SOD's, force closes and bootloops.
To recover from a bootloop read the FAQ below.
Currently I wont be porting boot animations and fonts. Although I may add an option to port boot animations etc to a flashable zip.
Finally, the ported themes will NEVER look like the CM counterpart due to the Xposed limitation of themeing "styles.xml". This is not a restriction of the CMX tool, theme .apk or the theme engine

FAQ
Q). It says Java not found, how do I add the Java path?
A). Check "What is CMX?" for a guide.
Q). The script fails in auto, what's wrong?
A). Read the log.txt and assets,txt in tools and look for any errors, if you cannot understand them then post your log either as a .txt file or as a snippet wrapped in hide tags as shown above.
Q). Whats the difference between CM10 and CM11 themes?
A). All the drawable resources for CM11 themes now reside in "assetsoverlays" and not "resdrawables" as they previously did. Also they no longer use redirection xml's.
Due to this change, XTheme and HKTheme engines do not support CM11 themes...until now.
Q). Why doesn't the theme look like the CM11 counterpart?
A). This is due to styles.xml not being supported and xml restrictions if not included.
Q). I've got a bootloop, how can I fix it?
A). Go and follow the instructions here: http://tinyurl.com/nm4eups
Q). Why does it take longer when porting than it used to?
A). I have muted the opening of seperate windows. Each folder in the CM11Themeassets directory is processed one at a time to prevent errors. This must be done correctly or this will have detrimental effects to the xml's being created and
cause compiling errors.
Q). What are the duties of the folders?
A).
"tools": Contains all the resources needed to help porting.
"CMThemeIn": This is the folder you place your desired CM theme to be ported.
"CMThemeOut": When apktool decompiles the apk from "CMThemeIn", this is the source/reference for porting.
"XTheme": Contains the resources from "CMThemeOut" that have been configured and modified to be X/HKTheme compatible.
"XThemeFinished: This folder is used to store the newly created, X/HKTheme compatible apk.
Q). How do I remove "ON" and "OFF" from the switches?
A). See this post: Link.
Q). I get "invalid resource directory name" in the error log, how do I fix it?
A). Something has broken the script process and caused the creation of unnecessary folders. Goto "XThemeXThemeBase.apkres" and remove the folders detailed in the log.
Example: "XThemeXThemeBase.apkresdrawable-SomeRandomName" delete "SomeRandomName" folder

XDA:DevDB Information
CMX, Tool/Utility for all devices (see above for details)
Contributors

Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Beta Version: v3
Beta Release Date: 2014-09-15
Created 2014-08-29
Last Updated 2014-09-27

Using the script and porting.
Instuctions:
Download the zip.
Downloads can be found in the "Download" tab above.
Or if your browsing via mobile you can use this mirror: CMX beta v3
Unzip the "CMX" folder to a directory containing no spaces or rename the folder.
Any spaces within the containing folder will result in the jar files not being able to run.
BAD= C:/Users/My name/desktop/CMX beta T1000
GOOD= C:/Users/My_name/desktop/CMX_beta_T1000
I've also included Jarsigner.exe in the download. Move it to your "Java\bin" folder if you do not have it installed, otherwise you can delete it.
Start ".RunMe.bat".
Your now presented with 2 main options with regards to porting.
Automatic.
Manual.
I've covered automatic above in "What is CMX" so i'll explain manual.
Basically all the options in the manual menu (other than options 0 and 1) are what the automatic mode cycles through in the same order. This can be useful if you receive any errors and want to carry on from where automatic failed.
The options are self explanatory but I'll give basic details:
Choose apk. Can be used to override the automatic built in selection. Useful if you have a number of apks in the "CMThemeIn" folder, although it is recommended to just keep one apk to prevent possible bugs.
Decompile apk. Decompiles the chosen apk for assets extraction.
Create main redirections.xml. Creates the main redirection xml containing all the package redirections.THIS MUST RUN BEFORE 4+5.
Configure CM11 xml's. Configures and ports CM11 xml's to work with X/HKTheme.
Configure CM11 png's.Create package (app) redirections.xml's and copies all the images to the appropriate folders in XThemeBase.apk inc. theme icon and wallpaper.
Set package and strings.xml name. Asks the user to declare the new package name in AndroidManifest.xml. Ideally use the same as the theme but with an "X" prefixing. e.g "com.mac.theme.gem" becomes "Xcom.mac.theme.gem". Also asks the user to to set the new app, theme, porter and original author name.
Compile. Compiles XThemeBase.apk into the ported theme apk.
Sign and zipalign. Signs and zipaligns the newly compiled apk ready for installation. The key used is market compatible generated by me.
Return to main menu. Returns to the initial screen.
When porting a theme try to name it so it is easy to differentiate from the original.
Example.
Original package and app name:
com.mac.theme.gem
Gem Flat
Ported with png's only:
X.com.mac.theme.gem
X Gem Flat
Ported with xml's:
X.com.mac.theme.gem.inc
X Gem Flat inc
How to port the custom launcher icons?
To use the new custom icon porter option, you will find it under option 2 (Manual) and 9. Two pre-requisites must be met:
You must have decompiled the apk in CMThemeIn prior to choosing this option.
Set the AndroidManifest name or strings. If you have not, or closed the tool since porting the main theme, you can define them using option 2 (Manual) and 6.
If the theme you are porting doesnt support a certain density, you can use this jar tool to create them:
https://github.com/redwarp/9-Patch-Resizer/releases
ONLY CREATE DENSITIES LOWER THAN THE INPUT!.
Porting themes? Then read this:
If you are going to port a theme and share it, you MUST obtain permission from it's creator/author.
Not only is this good community manners it is XDA forum rules.:highfive:
XDA Rules
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.

Feature status and changelog
Feature status:
Auto porting of xml's- xml's need the correct redirection prefix adding to the resource direction inside the file. This can be done manually if required (NOT RECOMMENDED). Complete.
Redirections for OEM ROM's e.g. TouchWiz, Semc etc. Complete.
Porting of app themed icons- This is something i will add in to port to a separate apk. Complete.
Porting of boot animations, fonts, ringtones etc. Possibly to a flashable zip.
styles.xml- Broken inside Xposed.
Changelog:
29/08/14
First beta release.
31/08/14 beta v1.1
Lots of code cleaning and bug fixes inc. message suppressing.
The script now searches for installed framework-res.apk, if none is found it will install the provided apk automatically.
If you input a CMTheme.apk that isnt a true CM11 Theme (doesn't use assets\overlays) you will receive a warning in the console and the decompiled folder will be removed.
"tools" folder contains:
framework-res.apk from CM11 for Mako.
aapt from android sdk build tools 4.4#
My updated version of the XTheme sample.apk A.K.A XThemeBase.apk
15/09/14 beta v3
Added xml porting support.
Updated XThemeBase.apk to include drawable and xml folder.
Lot's of code cleaning and bug fixes.
Removed opening of multiple windows. This results in a longer but cleaner process.
Added Jarsigner.exe to download.
Some other stuff.
23/09/14 beta v4
Removed jarsigner.
Removed framework-res.apk to reduce zip size (added to CMX folder in post #4 if required).
Added framework-res.apk redirections (4.2 Jelly Bean) for Sony and Samsung (thanks @pierx) devices.
Added the ability to port custom icons and wallpaper.If supported by the ported theme to a standalone Apex/Nova theme.apk. Manual option 9.
Fixed bug where invalid resource directories where created in XTheme.
Cleaned and re-wrote some code inc. an extra log for xml and png porting. This can be found in tools\ called assets.txt
24/09/14 beta v4.1
Added custom AndroidManifest and strings.xml to icon.apk porter. Uses values defined for main theme port. Can be redefined by selecting option 2 (Manual) and 6.

Ported CM11 Themes
The themes are split into 2 categories:
Drawables port.
Full port.
The reason for being split is because devices on older android versions (<4.3) might bootloop if using a fully ported 4.4 theme with a conflicting xml.
To cancel any bootloops you can disable Xposed via the flashable zip provided in rovo's Xposed thread, or by using adb shell delete in recovery. See faq above.

You win a prize for premature jubilation.
It probably is possible. If the script was converted from batch to .sh to run on your device, you could package it into an apk... But I won't be doing it. Creating this took me long enough. Plus I don't have the skills.
Ideally there would be an update to X/HKTheme or a new module developed. In the mean time this is the next best option.

There is no knowledge required.
All you need is:
Java installed on your Windows system.
A CM11 theme of your choice placed in "CMThemeIn"
Run the script, select option 1 (Automatic) and follow the prompts (4 of).
Install the resulting signed file in "XThemeFinished".
It takes 2 minutes literally. Everything is automated to make it as noob friendly as possible.:good:
If you have Windows give it a try and you'll be surprised how easy it is.

same issue here even after removing the "-"

Rename the folder from "CMX- Betav1" to "CMX", the space will be throwing it out.

Everything works great.
Nicely done

everything goes well up until signing, zipaligning and recompilation.

Creating extensions and documentation
Code:
Description -
As extensions are a great adittion to the IDE, whats the use if you cant make your own for automated building?
Information you need to know -
The tool looks for the file "extension.info".
In the extension.info file you will specify the extension name, description and the poison shell script file(.psh).
Package the folder containing the extension as a zip archive
------------------------------------------------------------------
Entension index
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample extension -
https://github.com/Ricky310711/Poison-Kitchen-Extension-Example
extension.info -
Lines will only be read if starting with "Name", "Description" or "Run"
-------------------- code exmpla
# this sets the extension name
Name:Fake optimizer
# this sets the extension description
Description:Do not apply this to rom, its a fake extension to show an example
# this is the poison script to run(must be in same directory)
Run:FakeOpt.psh
------------------------------------------------------------------
Scripting language(.psh file)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Information
-Must be linux EOL(\n)
-Anything but recognised 1st args are ignored
-Any errors will be ignore by the shell
-Use full paths asif you are in the root(/)
Extracting content to rom
---------- code example
EXTRACT|myFolder
1st arg states we are extracting(copying) a folder to the rom
2nd arg is the folder to extract(must be in same directory as extansion)
NOTE: This will extract the folder to the root of the rom
Changing a line in a file
---------- code example
CHANGE|START|/system/build.prop|ro.product.device=|THIS IS STARTS TEST
1st arg specifies we are changing a file
2nd arg specifies where on a line to search for the string(arg4)
3rd arg specifies the file to change
4th arg specifies the string to look for
5th arg is what you would like to replace the line with
The second arg can be START, CONTAINS or END
Appending a file
---------- code example
APPEND|TOP|/system/build.prop|# A TEST FOR APPENDING TOP
1st arg specifies we are appending a file
2nd arg specifies if we are appending at the TOP or BOTTOM
3rd are is the file to append
4th arg is the content to append
Remove a line from a file
---------- code example
REMOVE|/system/build.prop|# end fota properties
1st arg states we are removing a line from a file
2nd arg specifies the file
3rd arg is the string to look for in the line
Delete a file or folder
---------- code example
DELETE|/system/preinstall
Pretty straight forward, will delete a file or folder called "preinstall" from /system/
Create a file or folder
---------- code example
CREATE|DIRECTORY|/preinstall
arg 1 states we are creating something
arg 2 specifies if a FILE or FOLDER
arg 3 is the file or folder to create
Rename a file or folder
---------- code example
RENAME|/system/bin/am|amRenamed
1st arg specifies we are renaming a file or folder
2nd arg is the file or folder
3rd arg is the new name

Development preview 1
-initial release

reserved3

supports all versions of android and all devices, no manual input needed.

dev preview 3 possibly tommorow

Yay now I can at least try to build my own g6 ROMs. Nice work.

development on hold until the 30th as im on holiday, i have been dedicating little time to this as internet here is extremely slow

Magisk and SU support added aswell as deodexing 5.x > 6.0
Also working on disabling signature verification, adding sysrw(as binary)

hi, im trying out the program, it never completes the extraction, and the progress icon starts at 53% do i need to do anything when trying to start the program.
i haVE TRIed running as administartor and without running as admin.
thanks

Could you please PM me with pics of the firmware your selecting or even a link?

I've gone ahead and tried this. I pointed the app to my system.img (not the fastboot zip) and ended up with "error extracting". Tool looks promising. ROM is available for download here:
http://en.miui.com/download-333.html
I extracted it and used the images/system.img

Im going to test now, if the firmware has system.transfer.list, and system.dat, it will not be able to be unpacked until i make a native library or extension to perform the operation as i think it would be extremely stupid for the need to have python installed to run.
The only reason i havent rebuilt smali/baksmali etc is 1. Would take me months, 2. we are modifying a system that relies on java to operate.
in future, hefty operations like unpacking etc, will be coded in ASM/C code for faster operation, Im planning on making the whole project open source to allow changes and fixes submitted by other developers, So if anyones interested let me know and ill upload the source code(Written in C# for the .net 4.5 framework)

Found the error, the img file is of a wierd format, as its named system.img, it actually contains files from the root, so within the system.img the the root of the image is actually the root of the device rather then the root of the system partition, its extremely odd but none the less extremely simple to fix
Issue is already fixed and will be included in dev preview 3, that is expected for public release in a day or so with much more additions

You realise that this app is a GUI for ApkTool and other command line apps right?
Are you using Aapt2 in the settings?
The error in your screenshot shows it is an error with ApkTool and not ApkToolkit and there are plenty of topics relating to this ApkTool error, maybe search next time before insulting someone who is providing a free app
but what a sloppy init release

If you wanted help then this is the wrong way to go about it. I suggest you delete ApkToolkit and use something else

I'm enjoying Apk Tool Kit, but it would be great if you could add a feature to install APKs using ADB. Currently, the only way to install APKs while using scrcpy is to use Apk Easy Tool. However, Apk Easy Tool kills the ADB server scrcpy spawns, which closes the mirrored window on the computer. If you could add a way to install APKs using ADB directly in Apk Tool Kit, that would be a great improvement. Thanks for your consideration!

It's hard to say for sure because a lot has changed in Android 12, especially access permissions
For example if app uses data folder then android 12 will not access it due to new access permissions
Does it install ok?
Do you get any error messages?
There are a few things you can try...
Disable google play protect
To disable Google Play Protect. Open "Play Store" application -> tap on Menu button -> select "Play Protect" option -> Disable the options "Scan device for security threats"
Some permissions like overlay permissions cause problems with android 12, you can try removing permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml and then trying again
Check your manifest for the mainactivity and check if you have
android:exported="false"> and if you have then set to true not false
make sure you have no duplicates in your manifest such as a duplicate mainactivity
you can also try signing with different signing versions in APK Toolkit settings
you can check your android logs via adb logcat
I don't use android 12 so have no way of testing sorry, please try the above and try and narrow down the problem

Thank you for your reply sir
Install oke sir without error.
I did disable play protect all the time,my manifest also true
Recently i use np manager to remove signature verification using Modex3.0 to sign apk before i modified using apktool or apk editor,it will launch on a11 below but not a12 up
If no remove signature verification,it will not launch for both a11 and a12 after installed.
I also try sign v1 v2 v3 v4 yet no luck,only black screen and closed
Viet guy did also modified same apk but their apk lauch for a11 a12 and a13 perfectly,don't know they did
Wish i could find solution for this because your tool very handy and simple to use

Hi guys, I'm trying to modify a system apk on my head Unit (PX5). Specifically HCT4Music.apk. I just want to modify the colours of the screen, so that it fits the inside lighting of my car. I have no problem with the modifications. But I can't get it installed by the signature. How can I keep the same signature of the original apk.
I have also tried to copy the modified apk to /system/app and the result is that it works but it does not allow me to access the music files because it denies me access to the file system.
Do you have any solution?. Thanks

Only if you have a rooted device, you can use original sig in apk with disable signature with magisk / xposed framework
If no rooted device then you can try one of the signature killers which hook / replace new sig with original sig

Thank you very much 0xd00d. I have installed the magisk module and installed the system apk (music apk). But android 10 denies me access to storage devices.
Any more help?
thank you
By the way. excellent application

Looks like a great piece of kit , just wish I knew how to use it to to moddify a app, and re-sign it well done.

Nice tool, tried to decompile the apk and make change on smali file. Hit the compile button and generate the APK. But it looks like no changes which I had made with the new APK in `2 - Compiled` directory

If it compiled without error then your new changes should be in there
Are you editing the right smali file?
If you are editing libs then make sure you are editing the correct one for the architecture you are installing / testing the APK ( armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a )
