I wanted to mod a simple android app. Now i decompiled the apk with apktool. It worked fine!
But the only files I get after compiling are .xml files and .smali files...
So now, how i can edit the .smali files? Respectively can I mod apk apps by a other way?

about software to compare 2 *.smali files??
View 4 Replies View RelatedI spent 1 month coding an android app, and then I lost the source code in an hdd crash. Well, those things sux, but hopefully I managed to find an old apk build of this app. I was able to recover part of the source code by extracting the classes.dex file, decrypting it with dex2jar, and then opening the decrypted file with java decompiler (jd-gui.exe)... I remained amazed when I saw that my source code was so easy to found...
Now I wonder, why people use smali to reverse apk files instead of dex2jar+jd-gui ??

I'm trying to make my own slimmed version of a ROM's .zip, by deleting some APKs and changing some other files (media, bootanaim, walls; minor changes to systemui and framework-res; etc)..
Until now, I've done it several times, but I think that I can do a more in-depth research to reduce junk files..Is there a way to find a list of LIBs and other files that are related to the APKs that I delete??. I've tried two ways:
1) Decompiling APKs and "explore" to find related files
2) Search all over the Web to find information
I have apk file how can i edit it? I need to reprogram it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a android apk which I installed on my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
I backed the app up so I could download the apk to my Windows PC.
I'd like to edit the .png files in it, I've followed a tutorial on here using the apktool, decompiled ok and recompiled it, but when I transfer it back to my phone to re install it I get a message saying the application cannot be installed.
I am running some more tests and decided to take a different path for dual boot (for testing anyway, still gonna give it a go with bmp)... so to make a long story short, how do I edit the .bct file that comes with the nvflash zip??? I can edit the .cfg just fine but when I add my secondary partitions at the end of the line up and before UDB, the g2x doesnt seem to boot, like it just stays at the first lg logo and goes no further. I need access to the file to make it kick over. I think. Ive not been able to find out how to edit the file.. although I've not looked 110% as I usually do..
I am not even sure if I've named them right.. but hte way I see it they are all 3 characters in length.. so ive made the secondaries called APS, CAS, & UDS.. that also maybe my issue. but none the less ive attached a screen cap to show they were made and where they fall in the lineup.
Some apps ask for more permissions than I want to give them.
With DroidWall I can take internet permissions away from individual apps, which is great for all those app that demand internet access even though they work fine without it. But what if I want to remove other permissions, such as access to my location or my contacts?
There is a manual way to edit unwanted permissions out of .apk files, but this method is not meant for human consumption.Is there an app that lets me allow/deny permissions per app?
So I have just started nodding apk's . I modded the unicornporn one to get rid of the stuff I didn't like and added in what I wanted. Problem is they'll only install if I paste to system/app and reboot. How can I edit the apk files to make it install as a regular app?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently hosting an app on my own server so my beta testers can test it. I've set up the apk MIME type to be application/ vnd.android.package-archive, and when I try to download the app from the emulator, it downloads the 53KB apk file and installs it. When I try to do the same thing from a real ADP1 device, it only loads 43KB. When I try to install it, the system says that I'm trying to install an app that already exists (called "Android System") and that doesn't require any permissions, but nothing happens when I proceed. logcat tells me
"D/asset (16379): failed to open Zip archive '/ sdcard/download/[name of the app].apk'
Bonus points! When I try to download the app from the emulator, I can see that in the accesslog of my server. Not so when I download it from the device, even after deleting /sdcard/download/* and clearing the cache through the settings. Almost as if the device was loading an old copy from a proxy server. I'm not sure which APN I'm using, but none of the T-Mobile APNs have a proxy AFAICS. Is there a way to circumvent the proxy, assuming that this is the case? And/or tell the proxy not to cache this apk file?
When I started modding apps, I really didn't understand the smali part and only worked with XMLs. I created my first app a few days ago, and decompiled it. When I opened the smali folder, I was surprised to see the classes of my source code, each class was a smali file. I thought that the source java code didn't appear even after decompiling, only XMLs could be edited. But if smali represents the source code, can the source code then be edited?

I'm using wanams apk manager, I make the changes to the statusbar.smali file and the xml files, I compile and it doesn't work on my phone, so I decompiled the modified apk, and the changes to the xml files went through but the smali files go back to the originals.
when compiling I use yes on Is this a system apk, yes to copy additional files, go to keep, delete resources.arsc and finish.
It happens with any smali file when I compile, I use notepad++ to edit the files.
So what I ended up doing since my xml files were saving but my smali files weren't, I didn't realize that when compiling it asks to copy over files and the classes.dex file was overwriting all my changes to the smali files, so I compiled and when it asks to delete files from the keep folder I took the classes.dex from that folder, decompiled it seperatly made the changes to the smali files there. I still deleted my resources.arsc, then I finished making the apk opened the apk and replaced the classes.dex there with my modified one. pushed to my phone and everything works perfectly.

I just bought an android google tv from dealextreme. It has the Jellybean 4.2.2 and I was thinking if i add a custom rom or something it will make it run fast. There is issues on the 1080p streaming also for me.
View 1 Replies View Relatedso recently I have been trying to mod systemUI.apk with apk multi-tool. I decompiled it, made some very minor edits (some smali stuff), recompiled, put on my sdcard, moved it to system/app, renamed it to delete the "system_" part, changed permissions to rw-r--r and rebooted.
When i rebooted, my wallpaper was gone and was just black, I had to recent apps menu and no status bar. I checked settings -> app -> all and systemUI wasn't there
I have already tried wiping cache + dalvik cache and still my new systemUI.apk is not recognised.
I am interested in how to mod an apk for offline capability.
For example, Asphalt 8 game, is now version 1.2.1b i have searched offline mods, i only find "unlimited money". i just want offline, no money, no nothing.
I have apktool, i have java development, I have signapk, I have software for apk modification.
Where and how should I start?
What programming skills do I need?
What software do I need?
Any pointers to success and good ROM's?
I modded flappy bird on an ios device. I just replaced that bird with something better looking.. I've been trying for last 5 hours to get it working. I have downloaded flapping bird.apk and unpacked it. I opened assets folder and edited atlas.png in Photoshop just as I did on ios device. Then, I created zip file and copied it to my android device, I opened Zip Signer and found my zip file, and set the output file location. I installed it and opened it. It opened, but when I clicked play.
