Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.

It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with authors of an app, that you use and probably like.

Features:
  • decoding resources to nearly original form
  • smali debugging: SmaliDebugging
  • helping with some repetitive tasks

Thanks for posting this, great to see someone carrying on brut.all's awesome work!

Sadly, still won't play nicely with some HTC One apks, but I know that's HTC's fault not yours

Look forward to seeing what you've got coming up...

Good work!!!
I started testing and i still have problems with framework-miui-res, any tip?
I think the errors are those about change ex: <id to <item type="id"
Isn't that fixed in this version?

NOTE: If you don't what this kind of questions here, just say it np.

Yeah that should be fixed. The only times it seemed to fail is when the value of that item was @null or null. Which I hardcoded a fix in for. Send me that APK.

Here is the zip with both framework-res and framework-miui-res
To compile framework-res i just need to fix that stuff about %d %d to %1$d %2$d right?
But in framework-miui-res it is saying that item stuff problem.

Try these: http://miui.connortumbleson.com/other/jf/

Take the smali/baksmali that end in dev-jar-with-dependencies-small.jar

It will be w/ dependencies, but then proguard removes the bloat.

There is some new smali/baksmali in dev that will be ready soon. Are the errors about magic values? Or opCodes? or regCount?
