**In case somebody doesn't understand what this tool does I will explain briefly.
You select a folder with apk files in it and then convert them. To zip files and then you can extract the zips and edit the apk files.

Been looking for something just like this thanks!

Your welcome hope you enjoy it

Yeah !!! Great Job !!!
Is it possible to make the same but for extract and decompile all .apk ??

Do you mean like convert it to the zip then extract the zips ?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App

No, I think to decompil only into a zip or into a folder only...

Just a question, I've been using 7zip to open the apk files and haven't had a problem with it from the beginning. How is this different?

It really isn't but it makes it easier then having to install 7zip because this doesn't install so it is easy to remove if needed. And it converts to zip which windows natively supports. So it really is not that different.

[Q] Ninja Morph for framework-res.apk?

Hey
I'd like to change some pictures in the framework, but I don't really understand the signing procedure.
So I found the App Ninja Morph, that can change pictures within an apk. Does this work with the framework-res.apk?
Thank you
FireRider
Yup
And no need to sign if u use the right zip program

OK thank you very much.
So there are two easy ways to modify the framework-res.apk right?
First one with Ninja Morph an the second with 7Zip (and I think with adb? because with Root Explorer it failed...) Or are there more?
Ninjamorph will only mod pics within an apk whereas u can push an entire apk with adb.
Ive managed to use winrar instead of 7zip to accomplish the same result!

i have tried changing my icons with ninjamorph... but after i finish project and reboot my icons are still the same... 7zip?? i don't see this in the market... will AndroZip work?? and what exactly do u mean open archive and move the stuff? i see 'view archive' and then it only lets me check off what i want to extract.. what am i doing wrong?? thanks for anyone's help!!

There are two basic methods for changing icons. 1) using ninjamorph and only using the device. 2) using 7zip, winrar,etc on your pc to make the changes them moving the modified apk to your phone.
Are you getting any specific errors and what are you trying to change? I assume your phone is rooted, busybox installed and superuser set to allow?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i'm not getting an error at all... everything does fine.. but after i reboot there is no change at all... and i'm just confused on how to edit it on the computer... b/c they say open it but don't extract.. so how can i change the files without extracting? and yes i'm rooted.. and have busybox
i'm trying to change icons in the notification bar......
Are the images you are replacing the right file type? Afaik its not a problem...
On the pc if you are using 7zip, right click on the framework and hit open archive.
Check out calums theme sticky for further instruction if you take that route.

So, for instance, using Ninja Morph I could change the background of SE dialer?

How to use Ninja Morph
After reading of others success using Ninja Morph I purchased it. I replaced one image in my Framework-res.apk. When I finalize the project, should I select that the project needs to be installed or just copied? How do you move the new apk into the active configuration on the phone? Do I need to use ADB to push it?

It just uses t9 to find contacts, like the sense dialer does also. Right?

Mind sharing what the issue was with flashing through recovery? I didn't have any issues in testing.
Edit: NVM, just saw that you're running a different device. That would make sense as to why then. =)

um... what phone do you have? You realize this is a EVO 3D thread? Try pulling the apps out of the zip and either ADB push them to /system/app/ or use a file explorer to move and replace your current ones. If you move them using your phone, make sure the permissions are correct. rw-r--r--

These are system apps, so you cannot just install them like a regular app, or it will fail every time. Like I said above, either ADB push them or use an app like root explorer. If you use a app, make sure permissions are correct, or else they might crash.
Hope that helps.

[Q] How to create a flashable zip for xRecovery (with working links?)

Hello,
Does anyone here know how to make a flashable zip for xRecovery. I want to include apps in the zip... I found already some things while searching but no guide had a working download link etc...
So who can explain me how to do it or give me a link to a working guide with working links...?

I took such package as this and then I just put apps in it I want to flash. You can also make Your own directories

Essential question

Hi
I downloaded a custom rom based on ICS and unzip the file then I add some app.apk to data/app and rezip it.
I tried to run zip in recovery but coudn't.
My question is that, why it didn't work??
Originally is it possible to add app.apk to same folder of a custom rom and then install the rom with my favorite apps??
Thanks for answering me.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
You can use 7zip "free download" to modify roms. It allows you to edit the rom without extracting it. Download the program and read the tutorial. Basically when you extract a rom you change the file association and it needs to be resigned. Also when you swap out and or add apps,files,etc you have to edit the update script to reflect the changes. You can google to find out more. This is just my understanding, hope it helps.

If u unzip the file, it will lost it signed properties (something like that) which cause the file not useable. If u need to add or remove apk, just use winrar or 7z and open the file without unzipping it.
