Hi guys,
I see there is no noob-friendly tut for APK tool in our forum..So people like me get bored to read the commands:p...Here is one to make you familiar with a new tool AUTO APK TOOL (Its old but I don't see anyone using it)....

Its automated version of APK tool which makes your work very easy and No knowlege of Codes to decompile and cmd Commands are necessary....:)...



​


Well So here We start....

Code: 
Pre-Requirements:

A PC :p
Auto ApkTool
Java JDK/JRE 32 bit

So here we get started...Get Auto apk tool from the link posted above by me...

Extract the package and copy it to Root of C drive like THIS:

Then copy your APK files to Auto apk tool>>Input_APK....

Now in the Auto apk tool folder open the Autoapktoolmain batch file...You don't need to open cmd and give commands:victory:...

There just take a look that all the options are automated for you right from ADB/Decompile-Recompile to FW dependencies....
Now press 6 i.e. option to Decompile...

You don't need to give commands Just drag the apk from Input_apk folder to cmd...No commands here too ;)...

Now you can see The decompiled apk in input_apk folder...MOD it as you want:good:....

After Done Just open cmd again...Press 7 to recompile...The recompiled APK is generated in decompiled folder inside a new folder called dist...

Now you can see your app...If its system app don't sign it otherwise let the RE-compiled app remain as it is and Select "Sign APK or ZIP' in cmd...The signed apk is generated in the same dist folder...:good:

    it seems you are trying to decompile system app file!
    For that you will have to install framework-res.apk from your phone
