HOW TO DISASSEMBLE APK

Suppose you want to disassemble yourapp.apk, all you have to do is:
* right-click 'yourapp.apk' file
* select -> 'Disassemble APK and Decode Resources'

A folder named 'yourapp-disasm' will be created in the same folder as
the apk. It will contain the smali disassembly and decoded resources .
You can modify the smali code and/or resources inside that folder.

For instant access to methods and fields and for better understanding
of the smali disassembly, you can browse the hierarchy of reconstructed
Java source code in the JD-GUI Java Decompiler. The Java source codes
will be displayed like a Java project in IDE.
* right-click 'yourapp.apk' file
* select -> 'Browse Java Code of APK'

HOW TO RECOMPILE APK FROM DISASSEMBLY

To assemble, sign and zipalign to a new APK, wether you modified the
source code and/or resources or not:
* right click 'yourapp-disasm' folder
* select -> 'Recompile APK from Disassembly'

HOW TO INSTALL APK TO PHONE

To install a non-system apk from pc (keeping its data if it was already
installed on the phone)
* connect android phone to pc via usb cable
* right-click an APK in windows explorer
* select -> 'Install APK to Phone'

NOTES ABOUT SYSTEM APKS

Manufacturer's framework files:
Standard framework is embedded into apktool, so you don't need to do
anything for most apk files. But some manufacturers, for example HTC,
add their own framework files and use them in system apps. Apktool
needs these framework files to decode and build apks. To use apktool
against such apps, you must pull framework from a device and
install/register it to apktool.
for a solution see, http://code.google.com/p/android-apk...FrameworkFiles

META-INF dir in resulting apk:
This dir contains apk signatures mostly and after modifying apk it is
no longer has valid signatures. you have to be careful when putting a
recompiled system apk back on your device. Pushing that new apk to your
phone will result in Force Closes (FCs).

* Rename framework.jar to framework.apk
* Right-click framework.apk and select 'Decompile APK'

If I run shellext-add.cmd I get 5 times.

ERROR: Access Denied (in original: FEHLER: Zugriff verweigert)

I am running Win 7.

Could you please help?

Thanks!
