Can someone provide the resources needed to edit the keybddr.dll file? I tried doing a search but got zilch.

How do you change where config files and libraries are stored for a particular apk? I want to move some config files to /system but I don't know how to get the app to recognize them once I move them. I already decoded the thing and have access to all the smali files, but don't know what to do with them. If anyone could just point me in the right direction so I could learn more about this, about what file tells the install where to look, that would be fantastic. Like, why does a library work if it is in /system/lib/ OR if it is in /data/data/apkname/lib/?
Does anyone know of a Xml editor to use for modifying the xmls on the VZW Note 2? I have used several including a couple of Hex editors but the format is still the same. I cannot see the values.
See attachment for format:
You didn't decompile the .apk where you got that from that's why you can't read it. Use APK Manager and decompile the .apk and it'll be read-able.
Android XML is compiled. You must decompile it. Alternately, you can view it on your device.
Thanks guys. I was just reading the SDK training kit online which outlined creating and editing. Now I know that the apk must be decompiled.
Again, thanks!
[Q] Where are file extensions such as ".mp4" and ".mp3" located in an .apk?
I know it might be hard to understand the way I try to explain this conundrum but I've been up all night trying to figure this stuff out myself to no avail. I'm trying to rip the assets from a particular game/application (SONIC CD), and after decompiling it's contents via apktool, I'm greeted with pretty much nothing but .smali files. However, opening some of these reveal paths that are non-existent and files that cannot be found in any of the folders extracted. Pretty much all of them are scripts aside from the icons (.pngs) and a couple .xmls. Opening up "VideoActivity.smali" in the soniccd folder shows that they exist within the data I've ripped but I cannot find them.
Can anyone lend me a hand here? :fingers-crossed:
I need software to read compressed .xml files inside systemUl.apk. I tried Notepad++ but the code appears distorted i don't know why. Thanks for the help.
Hello everyone, I have been reading this forum for some time and decided to register. It's a great resource site with amazing info.
I have been playing with apktool to learn how apps are made. Decompiled following the guide from this forum.
However I can't find what I'm looking for in the apps. For example, it's easy to edit the drawable folders of the apps and change the images.
I took some apps that gather feeds from news sites and I tried to find where are the feeds URLs coded or embedded inside the apps files, and could not find any info at all. No URLs at all. I opened the XMLs, and other files inside res, lib or smali folders, opened a lot of the files with Notepad++ and I can't find any information about it, or any place where the app connects to the website.
Is it possible to access that info when we decompile with apktool?
I also watched a lot of videos in YouTube, on how to edit apps with apktool, and all of them explain how to change the images, but nothing else.
Is it only possible to edit the theme/design of an app, when we decompile with apktool? Or can we go further and change something else?
Any help appreciated.
Ok, after further research, and some trial and error, it seems apktool only does a very superficial decompile of the apk. It won't give you the actual source code of the app. So you can only do some very basic changes to the app, like images and such. However it is a very good first step to decompile the app.
I realized we need to use other tools to create and decompile the .jar files. I will keep experimenting.
Apktool can also be used in reverse engineering apps. But not intended for piracy use
