The Goal
A tool for Mac! AU will provide the tools necessary to begin theming projects, apk modifications, optimizations, and hacks. At the end of the day, I hope this project has helped you in doing these things.
AU can also help the user install and utilize apktool even if the user chooses not to use the Android Utility Interface.
Note, in some instances of the utility superuser permissions must be granted (sudo). Please be aware that the changes made are reversible and are not destructive to the Host Operating System.
Please READ Posts #1, 2, and 3 in their Entirety before proceeding.
Feel free to post concerns and bugs. This is still in development! Thank you.

### Installation ###
*** MAC ***
Prerequisite: JAVA (standard on Mac OS X)
1. Download from Github.com link or direct link or mirror.
2. Unpack the archive (tar.gx or zip) to your HOME folder.
HOME folder is located in /Users/username. To determine HOME folder, open Terminal in Applications Drawer and type:
open $HOME
3. Place the unzipped folder in the finder window that opens.
4. Rename the folder to "android-utility" - ATTENTION! CASE SENSITIVE (ie. Android-utility ≠ android-utility).
5. Double check and make sure name of folder is "android-utility".
6 From here, you have two options (A or B).
# Option A
Open in Finder the android-utility
Look for the file "andutil"
Double click on "andutil"
A Terminal Window will open up with Welcome Screen (Which you will see only on initial install)
Continue through the installation
# Option B
Open a Terminal Window
Type these lines followed by ENTER key:
cd $HOME/android-utility
./andutil
Continue through the installation
From now on, to run AU, you can either double click on the andutil icon, or simply type "andutil" in Terminal from any directory. AU adds necessary files to your PATH.

*** Linux ***
Prerequisite: JAVA
If you have Java, continue. If not, run these commands (pressing ENTER key after each one) in Terminal to install Java:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
1. Download from Github.com link or direct link or mirror.
2. Unpack the archive (tar.gx or zip) to your HOME folder.
HOME folder is located in /home/username. To determine HOME folder, open Terminal in Applications Drawer and type (for Gnome Environment):
nautilus $HOME
3. Place the unzipped folder in the window that opens.
4. Rename the folder to "android-utility" - ATTENTION! CASE SENSITIVE (ie. Android-utility ≠ android-utility).
5. Double check and make sure name of folder is "android-utility".
6 From here, you have two options (A or B).
# Option A
Open in Finder the android-utility

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if I get /usr/local/bin not a directory? ScreenShot
Answer: Post #111 aka my Epiphany
2. What if I get an error "Apk cannot be decoded"? ScreenShot
Answer: Please be sure that your apk has no spaces in its name. Post #98
3. Why is my new apk so much smaller than my original apk?
Answer: Two reasons. 1. Apktool when it builds, it uses full compression. 2. The new apk has not been signed, so the signature files "META-INF" are not present.
4. What can I use to edit xml files?
Answer: Mac: TextEdit or TextWrangler. Linux: Gedit (my personal favorite). Windows: Notepad++
5. Why won't my apk decompile?
Answer: Well, multiple reasons. Let's start fresh.
a. Have you installed proper "framework" files, ie framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk? These go inside working-folder/framework-here/. Install via Option #1 in Apk re-engineering.
b. Have you installed a new version of apktool? Sometimes that will resolve your issues.
6. Why won't my apk recompile/build?
Answer: Again, could be multiple reasons.
a. Are you sure your framework files are installed?
b. Your edits could just be bad/mistakes.
c. Install a different version of "aapt", available in installau and the apk Re-engineering suite.
7. I get the error: "apktool.yml does not exist".
Answer: Please refer to questions 5 and 6. A file "apktool.yml" gets created that's used by apktool during the decode process. If that went wrong, then you won't be able to compile.
8. AU tells me to check build_log for errors. But there is nothing there!
Answer: Currently the build_log is funky. I will fix in the future. If it tells you to check log and nothing is there...then ignore it. There really wasn't an error. But if the log does exist, then you have an error.
9. When will a PC Version exist?
Answer: When I have time.
10. When will you include latest apktool (v1.4.2)?
Answer: AU Version 1.0.2 will include latest tools.
11. When will smali/baksmali support be available?
Answer: AU Version 1.0.2 will include latest tools.
12. When will png optimization be available?
Answer: AU Version 1.0.2 will include latest tools.
13. Why cant't I sign my apk with test keys? They won't install!
Answer: Using an archive manager, delete the ORIGINAL "META-INF" (aka the signature) and then sign.
14. I get errors using Draw9Patch decompiler after using 9.png from a decompiled apk.
Answer: Post 151
15. What if I have a non-HTC Device, like Xperia or Sammy?
Answer: Currently, support for those devices does not exist for the "Apk Re-Engineering", namely Option #1 Install Framework first. The tool is written to only look for "framework-res.apk" and "com.htc.resources.apk". Future versions will have support for more proprietary ROMs. More info on Post 134.
More to come.
Enjoy!
Awesome utility man

Do it V! It will solve all your apktool woes.
Just getting off work. Might have some time to polish of Linux version tonight...but will have to see what the lady wants to do. :-(

I'm on a Windows computer, but I'd be willing to grab a Mac to try this out if it can solve my problem.
I need to edit AndroidManifest.xml in Settings.apk. I follow the procedure below:
1. Decompile settings.apk
2. Edit AndroidManifest.xml
3. Recompile
4. Drag and replace AndroidManifest.xml from recompiled version into original
Unfortunately, the application doesn't show up on the device. I've been using apktool, but also tried apk manager with signing and all. I don't know how to fix the problem, which I assume is caused by the signature of the APK.
Will your utility make it easier for me to edit this file?

I believe it will be easier for you. In the decompile process AU will ask if you would like to extract original META INF. Once you're done Modding what you want to do, drag the Meta INF into the new apk. Everything is organized and easily understood once you use it. But before you get a Mac....
What are you changing in the manifest? It could very well be your edit doesn't work. Please give more information

Looks like a great tool. Can't wait to see the other elements included.
On Linux using apk compression, it isn't removing the apk from the "original_apps" folder. Looks like it performs the rm command but leaves off the file extension so it can't find the file to remove.
EDIT: I get this between each file.
Code:
rm: cannot remove '/home/tmartin/android-utility/working-folder/mod-here-multi/original_apps/HtcProfileWidget': No such file or directory
HtcProfileWidget.apk decompressed
Decompressing HtcRingtoneWidget.apk
/home/tmartin/android-utility/working-folder/mod-here-multi/original_apps/HtcRingtoneWidget: No such file or directory
EDIT #2: Looks like it made ever file 24.2mb & unreadable??

Arg! Just got to work so I can't fix. I was afraid that one would give errors. Works on Mac but I didn't test in Linux. I will fix later. Sorry about that.
But big thanks for the feedback.

HOW TO MAKE THEMES
There are 2 types of themes you can make :-
1.Involving systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk
2.Involving the T-mobile Theme engine
I will begin with LEVEL (1)
There are two ways of doing this as well
1.Classic Way
2.The spaarc's cheap way (I use this one )
CLASSIC WAY
Requirements :-
1.A cool head
2.Apk Manager 4.4 (OR any APK editor , etc )
3.Original Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
4.Themed Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
OR
4.Many .PNG Images , In order to theme
Method :-
1.Use apk manager to decompile the original AND Themed apk's(i.e If you have a themed one)
2.ONLY Replace files found in /res/drawable-hdpi folder
3.ReCompile
4.Just replace Using RootExplorer or make a update.zip
Spaarc's Cheap Way
This is top secret , but i will tell it you
Requirements :-
1.Computer
2.7-zip
3.Original Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
4.Themed Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
OR
4.Many .PNG Images , In order to theme
Method :-
1.Use 7-zip to extract the apk
2.Replace files
3.Repack as zip using 7-zip again
4.Rename to ".apk"
5.Replace and Enjoy
T-MOBILE THEME CHOOSER
Follow this AWESOME guide
I don't have the time or patience of rewritting it in my cheeky tongue
Here , this completes your themeing guide
If you have any questions just Drop me a PM
HOW TO COMPILE CM7 ROMS FROM SOURCE
I have written this guide only for linux Users
Bibliography -
1.source.android.com
2.wiki.cyanogenmod.com
The guide starts here :-
Install the ADB
Install the Android SDK.
2.Install the Build Packages
Install using the package manager of your choice:
For 32-bit & 64-bit systems:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
For 64-bit only systems:
sudo apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
NOTE: gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib is no longer available for Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, but should still build without issue.
NOTE: On Ubuntu 10.10, and variants, you need to enable the parter repository to install sun-java6-jdk:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ maverick partner"
This will get you all the resources you need to build your CyanogenMod ROM
3.Create the Directories
You will need to set up some directories in your build environment.
To create them:
mkdir -p ~/bin
mkdir -p ~/android/system
4.Install the Repository
Enter the following to download make executable the "repo" binary:
curl https://github.com/spaarc/tools_repo/repo > ~/bin/repo "OR" curl https://github.com/spaarc/tools_repo/blob/master/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
NOTE: You may need to reboot for these changes to take effect.
Now enter the following to initialize the repository:
cd ~/android/system/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync -j16
5.Copy proprietary files
NOTE: This only needs done the first time you build.
You will need to have a Xperia X10 with a working copy of CyanogenMod install and ADB working on the computer. This script will copy the proprietary files from the device.
Connect the device to the computer and ensure that ADB is working properly.
cd ~/android/system/device/SEMC/es209ra/
./extract-files.sh
NOTE: If some hardware isn't working, like camcorder or FM radio, you will need to find the updated prop blobs.
6.Download RomManager
NOTE: This only needs to be done when an update to RomManager is released. If you are-up-to date, you may skip to Building CyanogenMod.
Download RomManager which is needed by the build:
~/android/system/vendor/cyanogen/get-rommanager
7.Building CyanogenMod
Check for updates
First, check for updates in the source:
cd ~/android/system/
repo sync
Configure Build & Compile
Now, the environment must be configured to build and the ROM compiled, from code, for the Xperia X10
. build/envsetup.sh && brunch es209ra
Install
Copy your .zip file from ~/android/system/out/target/product/es209ra/update.cm-XXXXX-signed.zip to the root of the SD card.
Optional: Download Google Apps for CyanogenMod 7 and place it on the root of the SD card.
Flash both of these .zip files from recovery.

If I can't do it how could I teach you ?
It is next to impossible
Bit still editing the init.rc in ramdisk should do the trick

Hi Guys ...
For those of you who want to change the logo of your android phone when turned on, it should change the logo on the kernel you are using, with your own logo, I will try to help explain how a simple and more detailed. If you can not do it any other way. Mugkin this way can help you. Tools needed:
- Linuk + Perl
- Windows
- A little patient and creative.
Ok! Go ...............
1. Prepare to be in exstack Kernel. You must open a pack kernel first. "DooMLord" has made the tool easy to us doing that, this tool will work in linuk.
Download the device see here:
+ Unpack-kernelsin:

+ Kernel.sin-and-FTF-creator-v1.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363460
Run your Linuk ....
Save-kernelsin.pl and unpack the kernel will be open, the folder "HOME" on your linuk.
Call the command prompt, then type:
. / Unpack-kernelsin.pl kernel.sin
or use the command
perl unpack-kernelsin.pl kernel.sin
It will make:
- Folder-ramdisk kernel.sin
- Kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz
- Kernel.sin-kernel
- Kernel.sin-header
Delete the file "kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz" and file "kernel.sin-header".
Open the folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk",
Please edit or replace your "logo.rle" in the folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk" according to your desire. When finished editing "logo.rle", then do to repack folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk", by way of
Typing commands at the command prompt:
$ Cd kernel.sin-ramdisk
find. | Cpio-o-H newc | gzip> .. / newramdisk.cpio.gz
This will result in "newramdisk.cpio.gz"
2. Now we take the file "kernel.sin-kernel" and "newramdisk.cpio.gz". Save and make sure that both files in one folder.
3. Now you fire up your windows, preferably on Win-xp.
4. Open the folder kernel.sin-and-FTF-creator for your mobile
5. Enter "kernel.sin-kernel" and "kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz" into folder-and-FTF kernel.sin-creator.
6. Make sure Java is installed on your windows? or if not, you can follow this step.
7. On BUILD-IT.BAT right click and click edit, in order to be as follows:
echo Manifest-Version: 1.0 > manifest.mf
echo device: X10 >> manifest.mf
echo branding: dooMkernel -v06-BootManager-v1.4 >> manifest.mf
echo Created-By: dooMkernel >> manifest.mf
echo version: 2.3.3 >> manifest.mf
ren kernel.jar X10_2.3.3_dooMkernel-v06-BootManager-v1.4.ftf
8. Remove the line
del manifest.mf
del kernel.sin
save and reflace to BUILD-IT.BAT
9. In the folder-and-FTF kernel.sin-creator instead of the name "kernel.sin-kernel" to "image" and rename "-ramdisk.cpio.gz kernel.sin" to "ramdisk"
*NOTE!!
[Make sure you have change the file name correctly, because if not kernel.sin corupt.
If you have a problem in changing the name, street and do this:
How to Rename File Extensions:

Go to Start
Control Panel
Folder Options
Click on the 'View' Tab
Then simply uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'.
Then click Apply
Finally click Ok
Now you will be able to change file extensions, such as .JPG to .jpg.]
10. Then Double-BUILD-IT.BAT then ENTER
11. It generates two files: "kernel.sin" and "MANIFEST.MF"
12. Next create a save file folder "kernel.sin and loader.sin to the folder.
13. Now run Flashtool
14. Click Advanced and select Bundle Creation
15. In the Select source folder, select the folder where you save the file and loader.sin kernel.sin
16. on the choice Devices customize your devices, adjust the version of ROM version, the choice of content with brand Branding your devices.
17. Move all the contents of the folder content list to the Firmware
18. Click OK
19. Click Flash

Just download and install cm12.1, I found a bug showing a red frame around the edges, it bothered me a lot, so I'm bringing research and the solution.
What they need:
1: Download and install a root file browser / manager app from the Google Play Store. I recommend Root Browser .. Skip this step if You Already have it installed.
2: Launch Root Browser and open "system" directory.
3: Scroll down to "build.prop" file and open it with a text editor.
4: Now add the following lines at the end of "build.prop"
persist.sys.strictmode.visual = 0
persist.sys.strictmode.disable = 1
and replace
this:
ro.build.type = eng
to this:
ro.build.type = user
5: Finally, tap on Save to save the changes.
When You Are With These things done, reboot your phone for the Changes to take effect.
