Apk Suite Linux

This is a GUI interface designed to make (de) re-compiling android applications
exceptionally easy. This is the first Alpha so we need feedback on bugs and possible future features.


The reason the file size is so small is because it does not yet actually have the libraries downloaded, to do this simply:
Control Cenrtre => Download Required Files.

It needs to be ran as root for one time only to install aapt into the /bin/ dir. After that, root is no longer required.
You can also manually place aapt in /bin/ dir and chmod to 775 if you do not want to run the application as root.
You can find aapt HERE.

The requirements are:
Python (Version 2 or greater)
IF NEEDED: PyQt
JavaSE or OpenJDK any version.

Place APKs in 'apk' dir, run the program, it will detect them. Once decoded, refresh lists to recompile (editing the smali files, navigate to 'decoded' dir)
Once encoded from a decoded package, the file is then placed in 'encoded' dir.

Please do report any bugs.

Very good work sir!:good::good: Can I request a feature? It would be even better if we could decompile it to java code over dex2jar and jd-gui.

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xf3' in file APKS on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

After a little google I found it's the character 'ó', are you running APKS with a directory (includes parent) with 'ó' in the path?

The APKS code contains no such character as 'ó' or any other with accents.

Thanks, TearsDontFallTheyCrashAroundMe, I will be working on that later, right now I am busy with another project. I will take a break from that and get it to decode to Java source.

The application does check on start-up for permissions, and file installs, that shouldn't be a problem. Allow me to go overt the code and see if this is my mistake in the mean time, could you do the following?

Open terminal, CD to the directory and run:
python APKS


Edit:
Looks over the code and there's is no 'ó'
the first line is "#! /usr/bin/python"
I will remove this as it was only to make it with with source

Thanks,
T
