[TOOL][WINDOWS] Apk Changer Beta

Apk changer is a command line program for modification of apk and jar.

Features:
- Setup wizard on first start
- Normal and Advanced Mode.
- Multicore support(much faster than other tools in batch operations and image optimization) - supports up to 6 cores
- Decompile/Compile selected part of apk's.(Batch mode supported, framework dependent decompiling supported too)
- Optimize pngs inside apk's(including .9.pngs).(Batch mode supported)
- Zipalign apks
- Sign apks(Batch mode supported)
- Colored adb logcat with logcat options(via WiFi or usb cable)
- Two versions of apktool and aapt(1.4.3 and 1.5.1)-if error occurs while decompiling my program will try too use alternative version and will compile your apk with that version that was used for decompiling
- Three languages at the moment(Russian, English and Dutch) - if you want to translate my progam into your own language just let me know
- Settings (Compression level, Heap size, optimization level, apktool version, language...) - program saves all settings - no need to enter them every time you starts it.
- Error detection. If error occured, program reports about it
- Log (For batch Decompilation/Compilation program creates two logs. First is full and second shows only in with what apks occured errors).
- Decompile/Compile jar files(framework files)
- Program automaticaly detects if JAVA installed on your PS and if no starts java installer(which downloads all necessary files from internet) and after installation adds java location to system variable.
- All stuff i forgot
- If you need other functions - let me know and i`ll try to add them in future versions

Thanks for this amazing app!
I'm trying to use it, but after selecting the language (english) it crashes saying that I haven't the lang folders, which is false because it's integrated in your package..
Any suggestion please?

Try to unpack program in root of disk C. Program may not work properly if there are folders whith non english names in path to it. And check if other folder(it contains all necessary files for program and it's translations too) in same place as main script and don't rename them.

Would you mind if I port this tool to Linux?

I hate Windows.

I am porting APK Multi-Tool now, and when it's done I'll port this one.

I love Linux too(my main OS is Gentoo), but for some tasks i use windows. I decided write this tool for windows because it use some programs that exist only for windows(we can try to use them with wine, but i don't know if they'll run stably and they'll work slower than in native environment). And of course it wouldn't be easy to port ≈ 3000 lines of code.

For all: i can't reupload my tool - version that i published is too old now (it was in my backups - but they were on multiupload too). Now i have only v6 of my tool, but it's not ready for release. You may ask why i didn't published previous versions - v1 weren't popular for some reason (as you can see - there are only few comments in this topic), so i decided develop program only for my own use. Now i'm thinking either fix bugs and release v7 for public or not.

Should release public ofcourse.

and which files do not exist on Linux?
The only one I know is roptipng

Greets!

I don't use roptipng since second version. Now i use few image optimization programs (i added support for optimization of png, 9.png and jpg images) as result image compression is the same and sometimes even better than in specialized image optimization scripts. And most of this programs exist only for windows.

Glad to see that someone is interested in my work. Program isn`n finished till now(didn`t have much time last weeks), but i think that i`ll publish alpha version in next few days.
