how to Decompile/Recompile System apps from MTK phones? I'm using apktool 1.5.2.I can decompile like "SystemUI.apk"But I can't recompile. Even I didn't edit anything yet.Specially those who have MTK phones.

I want to add some function to my system music player app. So I decompiled the classes.dex with dex2jar, copied the source code and add the code for my functions. Now my problem is that I do not know how to recompile the app. I can't compile it with Eclipse because it uses some system namespaces (in Eclipse it is an error so I can't compile) How can I recompile the app? I only have the *.java files.
Or can't I use the java files and have to edit the smali files? Of course that's much harder...
I don't want to use APK Multi-Tools or APK_Manager or whatever. I want to know exactly what those tools are doing in order to recompile the system apk while keeping the original signature.
What I initially did...
Code:
apktool d "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1"
...modify files here...
apktool b "%~dpnx1" "%~dpnx1.apk"
But obviously that's unsigned. I need to sign it, but I want to use the original signature, which I'm guessing is the META-INF stuff, right? So I attempted this...
Code:
apktool d "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1"
7za x -o"%~dpnx1-signature" "%~dpnx1.apk" META-INF -r
...modify files here...
apktool b "%~dpnx1" "%~dpnx1.apk"
7za a -tzip "%~dpnx1.apk" "%~dpnx1-signature/*" -mx9
You'll notice I now use 7-Zip to pull out META-INF from the original APK and then insert it back into the recompiled one afterwards.
The only other thing I can think of would be to go with my first method, but then use 7-zip to pull out the compiled files from the unsigned apk and insert them into the signed apk. I haven't tried that yet, but it will be the next one I go with. Every time this fails, though, I have to do a nandroid restore.
For those interested, after running "apktool b" (to build/compile), ignore the output zip. Instead go into the source directory and there is now a build directory. In that is an apk directory. Simply add your changed files to the original untouched APK (if you modified any XML files, then replace resources.arsc; if you added anything to smali, then replace classes.dex; if you added any XML files, then you need to include those as well; for me, i copied resources.arsc, classes.dex, and one new XML file). I used the following command:
Code:
zip -9 ..SystemUI.apk reslayoutstatus_bar.xml classes.dex resources.arsc
I use zip instead of 7za for cosmetic reasons. You can also use "7za a -tzip etc..." if you want.
I'm interested in an app to decompile apps within android. Something like ninjamorph would be great however ninjamorph seems to do the equivalent of extracting an apk instead of leaving an editable app with readable xml files. What is the likelihood of something like this happening? What is preventing it from happening?

Ive heard using the newer version of APK Manager is supposed to fix things, though cant find a newer one. The only file I found on XDA was a Jar file, and didnt explain what / how to replace with current APK Manager.
what do you use to transfer your data between phones?
I want atleast my apps and sms transfered.
Bonus perks if it can transfer the app settings/saved games.
I can decompile and recompile framework-res.apk and other apps successfully, but every time I decompile a theme chooser *.apk I get errors trying to recompile.
Is there a trick to this? I am running Reaper 3.0(CyanogenMod 7) installed the framework via installation options(that's all), have paths to platform-tools, tools etc.. The latest Android SDK installed (and all the others..)
Once again I'n only getting these errors Recompiling TC Themes.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 3 android phones, one old G2, one xperia X8 and recently I got a free motoluxe from t-mobile.
I would like to make sure all the installed apps are always synced between each phone: If i install a few apps on the G2, I will be able to install them on any other phone by clicking a button or such without having to remember what i did install.
One major problem is that the motoluxe is not rooted yet, but both the other have custom roms.
I've installed the android sdk, java, and all the other fancy things I was supposed to, but cannot get Android Multitool to decompile any apk's.
This is the error log it throws out: The system cannot find the path specified. 'apktool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. The system cannot find the file specified.
I know how to decompile, recompile and sign apk but how to decompile smali file for editing....

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying desperately to edit some files inside SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but I'm having some troubles...
I wanted to post in the specific thread of the program : [URL] but I'm not allowed to, because it's my first post here.
First I used only apktool, I managed to decompile my 2 files with no problems, I replaced a few *.png files and tried to recompile it but I'm getting errors... (I only manage to recompile the files if I don't edit a thing)
Then I tried APK Multi Tool, I achieved to decompile my 2 files (with the option 9 in the program), but I can't recompile them after editing my files. So I decided to make a test, I tried to decompile and recompile (I hit 9 then 11 in the choice case) them WITHOUT changing a thing and I get errors anyway. If I use the choice 1 (only extract the apk), do my editing and then zip the project (with the choice 3), directories are wrong inside the new *.apk, I get "projectsSystemUI.apk(res or smali, etc...)" so the *.apk result is not usable
Here is the log file when I try to recompile WITHOUT changes :
