[UTILITY][10-8-2012] APK Manager for Mac OS X, Intel only, v3.0

s0niqu3 · Apr 29, 2012

OP updated with v2.2.5 - fixed the adb log function, yet another boneheaded mistake on my part, lol.

s0niqu3 · May 9, 2012

I think I'm closing in on a 3.0 beta release. Screenshots of my work in progress here for anyone that might care: http://imgur.com/a/ivKAQ#0

Cheers everyone

Looks great. I will figure out Homebrew in anticipation...

Thanks everyone for the comments

For homebrew, its really very easy, but you need Xcode. Well, technically you only need the Xcode Command Line Tools, freely available from developer.apple.com (~170mb download) but most people will probably just choose to grab Xcode from the Mac App Store.

If you just want to grab the CLI tools dmg/installer from the dev site, then its this item you want:

And of course, even if you don't use homebrew, but you still want to use the automatic updates, you can just install git, and use the precompiled programs option during the initial setup/install.

Hopefully I'll get this online for people to start using (breaking?) in the next day or two.

Cheers everyone

Thanks in advance anyone that helps test

this looks great. Some feedback about the setup proccess:
1.The app wouldn't run at first. Turned out the appmanager.scpt is missing a slash:

Code:

do script "if [ $(command -v apkm) ]; then apkm; else \"" & mainDir & "[COLOR="Red"]/[/COLOR]other/main.sh\"; fi; exit" in newTab
		on error

2.In the homebrew process, it tried to install 7za as a prerequisite(?), but failed since 7za is not a valid package name. The correct package name is p7zip I believe. I installed it manually and ran the script again and got this: http://d.pr/n/tliF . I "brew install"ed libogg and everything else and it compiled fine.

Hi,

So the 7za error I thought I had accounted for in the install script, but like usual, I was retarded. Basically I just iterate through a list of programs, $p, and store any that aren't found in an array, $missing[*] and you can see, I try to capture for when the program not found is 7za, and store the correct package name, p7zip, into the array.

Code:

elif [[ $p = 7za ]]; then
    $p="p7zip"
    missing[$count]="$p"

And yeah, I'm retarded, you probably see the error there, lol. Fixed, will push an update to github in a minute

The libogg thing is new, simply using:

Code:

brew install sox

inside my install script worked fine when I wrote it, but it definitely failing now. It does seem to work fine if I open a new terminal tab and install libogg first, so I'll just have to figure out a way to handle that.

And thanks for pointing out the missing slash

That's a remnant of changing how I was storing the path data, originally the path was being stored with its trailing slash and when I changed that I forgot to fix that line.

EDIT: fix for the missing slash in APKManager.app is on github now. If you launch ./other/main.sh manually and force an update check, you'll get the fix, otherwise, cd into apkmanager directory and do:

Code:

git pull origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

Cheers

s0niqu3 · May 13, 2012

Another quick update, I think I've solved/fixed the sox install error, well, at least for now.

I'm just calling my newttab script to run:

Code:

brew install sox

in a new terminal tab, and I've tried it 5 or 6 times now, and its worked every time, so I think its ok for now. Ideally, the homebrew formula(s) should be fixed to enable automation, but for now I think this will do.

I also fixed the 7za/p7zip derp on my part.

Anyway, its up on github on a new branch 'develop' if you want to test it out before I merge it into master.

You'll need to do a few things though:

force an update check from within apkm [options: 24, 8, 7] then you should be able to switch branches from the autoupdates menu to 'develop'

uninstall sox and all its dependencies:

Code:

brew remove sox libogg libvorbis lame flac mad libao libsndfile

manually 'reset' the installation status of apkmanager
Code:
```
defaults delete com.girlintroverted.apkmanager install
```
launch APKManager again and run through the install process. (the installation should error after installing sox with "This command requires a formula argument" I fixed that locally, but haven't pushed it to github yet.) Just run APKManager again and it should be fine.

Thanks to anyone that helps test this!

EDIT: pushed the last little fixes to 'develop' on github, if anyone can test and let me know how it works for them, I'll go ahead and merge it into master.

Cheers

s0niqu3 · May 14, 2012

Just a note, I've pushed a few small fixes to github over the weekend, and added the 'develop' branch for anyone that wants to test it. You might need to 'force' an update check to make the new branch show up. I'm working an a fix for that in the future, so that new branches will always show up automatically.

There's nothing really 'new' in the develop branch at the moment, except that some of my internal debugging code that's broken on master is now functional.

Like always, thanks in advance to anyone that tests this.

Cheers

thanks for the fixes

s0niqu3 · May 17, 2012

Pushed a handful of small fixes/changes to github. First, APKManager should only alert you if ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is unset once, and never again (unless you trash your preferences file) and second, APKManager should now work even if the path to its folder has spaces in it (I hope it does at least, its hard to test all possible scenarios of this.)

Cheers

s0niqu3 · May 20, 2012

Pushed some new fixes to github to patch dex2jar when installing for the 'spaces in path' problems. If you've already downloaded and installed dex2jar from inside apkmanager, please delete the apkmanager/other/dex2jar folder, and install it again.

Cheers

chaostic_2k1 · Jul 3, 2012

I fixed that myself on the 2.2.5 download by changing the dex2jar.sh file to have quotations around $@ (so "$@").

Any progress on this lately?

Hi,

Sorry, no, I'm not really spending much time on this anymore. And it's mostly because I ran out of ideas, and feedback has been minimal except in cases of glaring bugs. Basically, it seems to work fine now, and pushing updates just for apktool.jar updates might become the norm, but I don't know, I don't really bother to hack android myself anymore.

If you find any huge/glaring/gamebreaking bugs please let me know and I'll try to fix them at the very least.

Cheers

s0niqu3 · Oct 8, 2012

Pushed a handful of updates to github over the past few days, of note:

fixed a couple bugs that were introduced with some changes to homebrew and pngcrush
updated smali.jar and baksmali.jar to version 1.4.0
fixed a few various typos
updated the built-in pngout downloader to download the newest version (May 30, 2012)
changed the "view changelog" option on the debug menu to use "git log" if you used homebrew & git to install
added the ability to forcibly reset the "home" directory by holding the command/apple key when launching APKManager.app
removed all the little "b/beta" tags I could find since this seems good enough for a "real" 3.0 release finally

yoseir2 · Nov 6, 2012

I seem to be having a problem.

I get the MMS.apk from my phone, then I send it to my mac via bluetooth.

I then move it to the modding folder, then decompile, change what I want, but then after I select the compile option, nothing happens. It says its compiling, and then the message goes away, but the new compiled app is nowhere to be found.

Also, I have tried extracting, then zipping, but then I have no idea how to sign the app, as it comes up in my signing folder as unsigned-MMS.apk I tried putting this unsigned version in system/app, but then it says there was a problem parsing this package.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
