Version
16.5 has just been released! This features a few fixes (including the issue with using apktool 1.5.2), a few minor changes and an additional recompile option.
Currently apktool has an option to give recompiled apps the same signature/key and AndroidManifest.xml file as the original. This is essential if you're modifying a system app (unless you've disabled signature verification in your rom) but less so if you're modifying an app from Google Play or similar, so the option will be removed in a later version. This is likely to be apktool 2.6 which won't be out for at least a year. (Have a look here if you're wondering what I'm talking about:

But I'm an
impatient person so I've already implemented a workaround in the code already. I like to think ahead..
This will be the last update for a while unless I need to fix any bugs, Google drastically change something that I need to allow for, or I think of any other useful features I can add.
Download, enjoy, and just remember - using Tickle My Android instead of any other decompiling tool is scientifically proven to extend your lifetime by up to
100* years!!
