APK Manager 4.0 for Mac OSX (64-bit)

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +9999999999

What are the capabilities of this and his can i use it?
Never messed with a apk manager before but would like to

Wouldn't run out the box. Had to add my adb to path (might be easier just including adb in the "other" folder, as adb is resource-independent and nothing has to be installed for adb to work on a mac [Just download and run]).

The other is "sox". Seems to be a open-source command line audio converter, right? Not part of the standard OSX install. The apkmanger should either disable any sox related (It already does on reading the script), in which case it should be removed as a hard error, or include it in the other folder.

After waiting for way too long to have apk manager working on OSX, (so i can do my themeing natively instead of GFX in OSX and compiling in windows/linux) I have decided to port it myself. This has only been tested on an intel-based core 2 duo mac running snow leopard 10.6.8.

Hey,

First, to the OP, Thanks for this!!!!

I had been casually working on my own port from the windows version, but now there's really no need. I've tested briefly on OSX 10.7.1, mid-2009 c2d macbook pro, 64-bit, and it seems to work great so far.

For the adb error, uhm, really? Anyone that's going to be using this should have the knowledge/ability to add adb to their path. And yeah, I know, it sounds like you were just trying to give the OP a pointer to make it idiot proof, but this really seems like the bare minimum knowledge requirement that someone should have if they're going to use a tool like this.

For anyone that doesn't know, here's one easy way (on osx there are about a million ways to add to $PATH) to add adb to your $PATH:

edit your bash profile file (create a new file if it doesn't exist yet) here: ~/.bash_profile

Add the following:

(Technically only the second one is necessary for adb to function, I recommend adding them both for quick ddms access too.)

The sox issue on the other hand I can understand, since its not included with OSX. But it is simple enough to install SOX with all dependencies using macports or homebrew. If you plan on doing anything at all with android development, hacking, modding, etc., on OSX, using one of these tools is absolutely essential. I personally use homebrew, because its immensely faster than macports on my laptop, and homebrew will use OSX's default x11, python, etc. binaries, whereas macports will compile its own second copy of x11, python, etc..

for homebrew:
Anyway, hopefully someone finds this useful, else I'll just come back and delete the post in a few days.

Just went through the whole installation, from installing ADB with it's own path to setting up SOX with homebrew and I gotta say, I'm a noob but I got it all done within a six pack! lol Thanks for the port mang! I can finally put away the PC to modify apk's!

All I did to "fix" it was change

Since sox isn't supported in the mac port yet (the options are not in the menu), no need to throw a fatal error, or require someone to install sox. You might just want to comment out "sox" in that line and leave adb uncommented though, since the adb commands are enabled.

As for adding adb to the package, well, it's a convenience thing. APKmanager should be a one stop shop for working with apks like that, and having adb added would help with that. I personally don't like mucking about too much with installing packages on my laptop, so I keep adb in my Applications folder, and just cd to it. And I manually run many things. I wouldn't be using APKmanager to install or pull apks anyway.

Hi again,

For anyone else that's doing their smali hacking on mac, I was seriously annoyed by the lack of syntax highlighting in my two favorite editors, Coda and SubEthaEdit, so I made my own syntax mode for them.


The screenshot is from subethaedit (notice it supports code-folding at the ".method" level, ) and is somewhat outdated, I fixed the mode already to properly hightlight all variables after parameters.

My thread for the mode on XDA is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257025

or you can head straight to my blog to download them here: http://wp.me/p1JZM0-O

Hi again,

So I started hacking your APK manager for mac today to hopefully bring it closer in-line with the windows branch.

And first thing was simply verifying that optimize png and ogg work if you install optipng and sox, and yes, they both do. So in addition to my tip above to install sox, also install optipng:

Macports: Homebrew:
Then go into the script.sh and uncomment the relevant lines that call those functions (menu lines 2, 14, 16 and answers for opt, bopt and ogg) and comment out the removal/error lines instead.

So far I've done the easy steps, added user selectable compression level, max java heap size, batch signing support, and added the z/p/zp options for batch optimizing.

I'll try to get this all finished this weekend so somebody else can test it too, and I'll try to include at least the 64-bit optipng binary I compiled, and possibly 64-bit sox and all its dependencies too.

Cheers,

hi, i've tried this (decompile and compile Browser.apk):

Hi,

I've spent the past few days greatly improving the Mac version of APK manager. Well, really its almost a complete re-write. I've added 32-bit/64-bit all-in-one support, re-enabled old disabled features, added project support, system apk "keep" folder options, error checking, debug info, etc., etc., etc.

Really, after writing ~600+ lines of code, I can't even remember every change I've made at this point.

Anyway, I'm still testing and tweaking it multiple times a day, so I'm not really ready to release it here to the masses at XDA, but if you visit my blog, you'll find a current download link.

Until further notice though, I ask is that you please, PLEASE, don't link directly to the download, and please don't re-distribute here. If you want someone else to download my version, please just link them to this post.

I'm not trying to drive clicks or anything like that, I just don't want a billion questions about how to use my mod right now when its not finished, and is likely to change every few hours anyway.

Cheers,

Hey again,

So I'm finally happy enough with my version of APK Manager for OS X, that I released it here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285130

I've brought it completely up to date with the windows feature set, and exceeded it in many, MANY ways.

Cheers everyone
