Today i will guide you on how to decompile with Apk Tool,so I would post here


Needed files :-

Windows
ApkTool
Java JDK/JRE 32 bit
Cmd/terminal knowledge

Step 1

First you need to extract that zip folder to anywhere you choose, preferably on root of c/drive E.g: C:/android/apktool extracting the files to 'apktool' folder.

Step 2

Now copy the apk you would like to mod into your Apk Tool folder.

Step 3

Command Prompt:

Open up your Command Prompt by going to:
Start -> run -> type : Cmd

32013a151ec069c5099725789edc10ac.jpg


Step 4

Your cmd will probly look like this..

C:\users\yourname>

so type in

cd.. (Yes include the '..' and press enter after you type each command.)

this will get you to back directory so now you will see

C:\users>

so type again

cd..

you should now see this:

C:\>

now type in:

cd 'apktoo'l/'directory'

for me it looks like:

cd android/apktool

now you should see:

C:/android/apktool>

and you are in the apktool directory

Step 5

Installing Framework

Now that you are in directory we need to install the device's framework to your system for it to compile correctly so type this:

apktool if framework-res.apk

This will install the devices framework to your system. need to do this.

Step 6

Decompiling

Now to decompile the apk you want to edit, type this:

apktool d framework-res.apk framework1

3b486e7ae9e032f8eb4bab257abafe7f.jpg


Step 7

Recompiling...


Now to recompile your new apk type this:

apktool b framework1 framework-res-new.apk

framework1 is the folder with your edited files

framework-res-new.apk is your new apk file

131ce3032fc2e7ca4371de574ebec108.jpg



We cannot use the new apk's... we have to take what we did and add it back to the original apk file to keep proper signature

use something like 7zip or winrar, take the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "-new" apk and copy them into Original apk

Your new modded APK is now ready, Congrats!:highfive:

Good Luck ..
must try

if you want to provide a guide on edting stuff,

people cannot visualize your concepts,

i'd suggest adding screenshots to make it more pleasant and understandable

you say it's for "noobs" and very "basic"
well if i'm a begginer i'd ask myself this when i read your guide

-how to decompile apps?
-how to download paint.net
-how to open to res/drawable-ldpi
-what is a 9.png
-what are those 4 black corners?
-how to change color?



you should at least broaden the scope of information provided so keep the information clear to the newbies
