1.)Install Apktool4.1.1.apk



2.)Download Apktool Arm.zip



3.)Extract apktool armel.zip and you will see apktool folder inside..



4.)Move apktool folder in your sdcard (not in any folder) it should be look like this sdcard/apktool

5.)Make a new folder inside the apktool folder and put your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk inside the new folder. it should be look like this sdcard/apktool/newfolder/framework-res.apk



1384242_688755954469209_348690364_n.jpg




6.)Open Apktool4.1.1 App and go to apktool/newfolder and click framework-res.apk and click import as framework.. (do the same with twframework-res.apk)



67959_688755944469210_87550049_n.jpg




7.)Now you can decompile and recompile any apk you want.. just put it in apktool folder and click decompile all..



NOTE: This is for rooted phones only.. :)

all you need to do after navigating to folder containing the file you want to decompile is type

to decompile
apktool d framework.jar NameOfFolderToDecompileTo

to recompile
apktool b NameOFDecompiledFolder newframework.jar
