[Share Latest Apktool 4.2.2/Guide/Tutorial/] How to Decompile/Compile/Sign Apk/Jar

now bookmark it!! thanks dude!!

Thanks for the credits, buddy
nice share there

Great guide Rizal. Decent English too. Lol. Proud to be Sundanese..

In my opinion, there are other more simplified tools that utilized apktool better (I use apkmultitools and vts (virtuous ten studios)) but people needs to know the basic right..

And I think, you need to put the java\bin directory in Path in windows system variables (or Java_home in win8). And it's better (I think) to put sdk directory (adb, fastboot), apktool and the smali jars files in the Path too, so that users can access from any folders/directory.

I've seen other guides say that resources.arsc should be copied from the old apk and stored in the new one.... is that necessary?

Hey rizal, following your decmpile/recompile method, the apk wont install, signature problem.

There are some problems when signing the apk. The workaround for this: use some tools (ticklemyandroid does good jobs) to completely signing the apk (I've done this when modifying systemui.apk), you can also learn from it (learn some of its codes). Or just move files that u've modified from the modified (recompiled) apk to original apk (7zip is your friend)

Just moving with normal compression?
