Hello everyone,
I want to decompile this file for reverse engineering. I tried using apktool. However, it was impossible. If I try to decompile it... following error occurs. It is used for the Android Head Unit. Is there anything I am missing?

Hi,
I'll try to decompile it on my side, did you find any framework-res.apk apk or an equivalent you can install on apktool ? (That's my first time with android auto so idk how the system works)

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.

Hi friends,
@Raiz, @Droidriven
My reply is late. I'm very very very sorry. COVID-19's got me out of my mind. There was a confirmed case in my company. Everything's all right now.

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.
Enjoy your APK

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.

It is a tool for reengineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.
It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with authors of an app, that you use and probably like.
Features:
decoding resources to nearly original form

Why not? It just builds apps, not run them, so it's a question like: "Do smali can also work with Android 1.5?" ;-)
That "Android SDK installed with 2.1 platform" requirement doesn't mean, that it will build apps for 2.1 . It will just use 2.1 resources, but these are (must be) backward compatible.

Maybe much later :-/
Even if we will be able to decode it and rebuild, we'll have FC after FC. The point is: framework resources must have constant resName<->resID mappings (eg. @android:string/day must be a 0x01040298), because they are referenced by all apps and unfortunately aapt doesn't give us control over resIDs mappings. I think framework-res.apk and other system files are built using some Google's private tools.
We need to create aapt-like tool, that will use custom resIDs mappings - it should be possible and maybe not so hard, but currently I have other things to do.

So this is the Avabox. original title i know
I put this to together back with the hero during some hard forums times in order to push further development with customizations. and it worked.
so here it is for the Evo devs. I set it up for windows but of course perl scripts run in linux so its universal. But if you want to learn/work on some customizations for the evo but you dont wanna dual boot linux or w/e here is something for you.
im hoping to see some good things soon any issues with this just comment or pm. good luck.

its a compilation of scripts for windows to cook a rom and create/modify/extract/compile/unzip/deodex/sign/everything android 1.5 and up.
works with linux too.
Good timing. I'm here trying to remove yxplayer's trial / 2min time limit. Managed to decompile, edited smali files, recompile, sign. So far so good, worked as expected (re-mapping various functions to different buttons). Now gotta hunt down the code which actually triggers that 2min play limit, and with some luck, maybe the whole validate-the-serial-number routine
PS: was using only APKTool & Auto-Sign. Will check out the tools in Avabox and see if they will be useful.
This includes the installer for 64-bit ActivePerl. Here's the link for the 32-bit installer in case anyone needs it: http://downloads.activestate.com/Ac...ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86-291969.msi
bump for life.
maybe a bump maybe not this is awesome is this the latest version? Oh stupid question? Someones gonna ask. this is great for unpacking boot.img signing zips everything to make your own rom. Wow even has a deodexer
This package is literally everything you need to make your own custom rom. So use it.
Thank you so much

I'm a noob, so please forgive me. I am not sure about the BOOTCLASSPATH. I am trying to deodex htcmailwidgets.apk.

Hope that makes sense.

I may have completely misread the OP, and forgive me if I did, but aren't there supposed to perl scripts in the package that would allow me to use this in Linux? I am not seeing anything but .exe and .bat files. I dont use Windows, and wouldnt trust wine to do development work. Is there another version of this floating around I can use?
Edit: I found the code repository http://code.google.com/p/smali/
Edit2: NM. I finally opened my eyes and found the perl scripts in Boot Scripts. The above code repo is the updated version of Smali.
Looking to unpack the data.img files that are created when you do a backup of your phone. Not seeing that this will work - do you have ideas on how?
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.

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

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 ++

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

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

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.

Is apktool complete ? does it work on all applications?

problem solved....
But I like to hear your answers...

The solution is to extract files directly from (apk or zip) file and mix with decrypted file
then uninstall last version of the app on the phone.
Install the new one....

Could some one just extract files from apk, change the files and then rename the file to zip and sign the file?
Could it be that easy?
