MULTI TOOL

Hello,

I´m glad to present my Android Multitool wich makes it easier to decompile/recompile applications + jar framework files. You can also sign your apk by easily clicking a button.

Requirements:

Winows OS XP / 7 / 8 / 8.1

Installed Java on Windows

Installed Microsoft Powerpacks

Installed .NET framework

- Easy handling: Select your apk and push the "decompile" button! 

- This tool makes modding much faster and easier, no cmd handling any more.

- You can read the log which is integrated in the tool to find your mistake in the error. 

- ADB inside: Push files into your file system with a few clicks

It looks like this so far: 44 How to use this tool?

Follow this small how to! 

Here you go..

Well, first extract the AndroidMultitool folder to C:\. Otherwise it propably won´t work

-copy your framework-res.apk and other files you want to mod in the "Files" folder (this folder is for all your files you want to mod, don't pick files from any other location)

-Next you have to start AndroidMultitool.exe

-select your framework-res.apk and push the "install" button (check log for errors)

Decompiling and recompiling apk files:

-select the apk you want to mod/decompile and push the "decompile" button (check log for errors)

Note: You can check the "use baksmali" checkbox, then e.g. the useless .line text will be removed

-your decompiled apk will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk\"apkname" as a folder

-if you want to compile your apk again, select your decompiled folder, check the "apk" radio button and compile it again (check log for errors)

-your recompiled apk will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Compiled_apk\"apkname"

Decompiling and recompiling jar files:

-select in the combobox ".jar" (check the "use baksmali" checkbox for deleting the useless .line comments) 

-select the ".jar" file you want to mod

-push the "decompile" button

-your decompiled jar file will be locaten in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_jar\"jarname"

-for recompiling you have to check the "jar" radiobutton and select the folder within your decompiled ".jar" file

-push the compile button

-your compiled jar file will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Compiled_jar\"jarname"\classes .dex

-delete the "classes.dex" file in your ".jar" file 

-copy the new "classes.dex" file you compiled in the ".jar" file

Signing apk files:

-select the ".apk" you want to sign

-push the "sign" button

-the signed apk file is located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Signed_apk\"apkname_signed" 

Using tags:

You want to decompile many files from different devices or different android versions / frameworks? Tagging makes it possible!

- before installing your framework type in any tag (like "hero")

- then install your framework and work normally

Android Debug Bridge

You want to push files with adb to your device? Follow these instructions:

Please klick on the "advanced" register in the tool

-push "check" to control if your device is ready

-if the device is not ready please follow the instructions, which are listed in the tool (device offline, no device...)

-if the device is ready, choose a file you want to push

-choose a path on the device, where the file should be placed later

-push the "push" Button

-alternately: press "Reboot device" to reboot your device and to let changes take effect

If there are any questions or bugs, please post them in the thread.

Questions and answers:

Q: The programm does not start, it crashes.

A: Please install Powerpacks, this one: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?Link...27&clcid=0x804

Q: What do you mean exactly with "!!!NOTE!!! After compiling you have to copy the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from your old apk to your newly compiled one!! Otherwise you´ll get bootloop! " .. I don't understand. 

A: You have to open your old apk (this one you selected for decompiling in the folder /files) and copy from that apk the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder to the apk you just decompiled and recompiled. 

Q: I followed all steps in the startpost but I'm still getting this error: "apktool is not recognized as internal or external command"
