Hey guys...heres the APK manager v4.9 by daneshm90.....its an easy way to edit apks......
So i have written a simple script to ease the process of editing apks. Got a lot of downloads so thought its in demand
Whether you're doing basic image editing or editing the smali or xml files, on average u have to use (Brut.all or JF's smali/baksmali) awesome tool to extract the apk, edit it, then sign the apk and then adb push/install it. This process is quite tiresome if you are testing a method that needs fine tweaking.
This script should make the process a LOT smoother.
Theres an option of compiling/signing/installing all in one step
Thanks:
Goes to Brut.all for his awesome tool.
Goes to JF for ofcourse, smali/baksmali
Goes to farmatito for porting this script to linux
Features:
- Extract, Zip apk's.
- Optimize pngs (ignores .9.pngs)
- Zipalign apks
- Sign apks
- Push to specific location on phone
- Incorporates brut.all's apktool
- Pull apk from phone into modding environment.
- Batch optimize apk (Zipalign,optipng,or both)
- Quick sign an apk (Batch mode supported)
- Batch Ogg optimization
- Compression level selector (monitor status above menu)
- Batch install apk from script (option 16)
- Logging on/off has been removed. Instead a log.txt is created which logs the activities of the script organized using time/date headers
- User can change the max java heap size (only use if certain large apks get stuck when decompiling/compiling apks) (Option 19)
- Improved syntax of questions/answers
- Error detection. Checks if error occured anytime u perform a task, and reports it
- Read log (Option 20)
- U can now set this script as ur default application for apks. When u do, if u double click any apk it will install it for u.
- Supports batch installation, so if u drag multiple apks into the script (not while its running) it will install them all for u. U can ofcourse drag a single apk as well
- Added framework dependent decompiling (For non propietary rom apks). (Option 10). Checks whether the dependee apk u selected is correct.
- Allows multiple projects to be modified, switch to and from.
- Allows to modify system apk's using apktool but ensures maximum compatibility in terms of signature / manifest.xml
- Stuff i forgot i guess
Instructions (Windows):
- Place apk in appropriate folder (Any filename will work, if running for first time folders will not be there, you must run and then the folders will be created)
- Run script
- Minimize the script
- Edit files inside the project folder
- Maximize the script
Instructions (Linux):
- Place apk in appropriate folder (Any filename will work, if running for first time folders will not be there, you must run and then the folders will be created)
- Open terminal and change-directory to apkmanager (Easiest way is to type "cd ")
- Chmod 755 Script.sh
- Chmod 755 all files apps inside other folder (thanks for the tip bkmo )
- Run script by typing ./Script.sh
- Minimize the script
- Edit files inside the out folder
- Maximize the script
Requirements:
Java
Adb
Future Improvements:
- Manage multiple simultaneous apk edits (choose which apk to extract/build)
- Option to optimize the apks
- Option to adb push to user defined location
- Other stuff i dont know yet.
Windows (v4.9): Download Here
Linux (v4.3): Download Here
Here's the video!!
Got problems ?
1. Make sure your path has no spaces
2. Your filename has no wierd characters
3. Java/adb are in your path
4. It's not a proprietary rom's apk (aka Sense,Motorola,Samsung) (If u are, then use option 11 and drag the required framework, eg com.htc.resources, twframework-res...etc)
5. It's not a themed apk (if it is, expect .9 png errors, use as close to stock as possible)
6. Look at the log to know whats happening
7. If all else fails, post as much info as possible and we will try to assist you.

Do you mean dsixda's kichen?
There is no folder system/app in the CM source project.
When you are working with source, its not called system/app
all apps that are going to be baked into the ROM will be in the folder /packages/apps.
So here are the basic steps:
1.Place your app source code in /packages/apps (just drop the source folder in)
2.Create 'Android.mk' file for the app (if the app was made in eclipse, its likely to have res/R.java which is autogenerated by eclipse. This needs to be removed as the system will not recognize it.)
3.Edit /build/target/product/core.mk (or similar) and add your application in the list of PRODUCT_PACKAGES. (if you dont add it to the main make files, the app wont be compiled and it wont be in the update.zip when it is finished.
4.Run make.
IF you feel this is too complicated. create the update.zip and use dsixda's kitchen to edit the zip, add the apk manually and then resign it.
Hope this helps!

WHAT THIS GUIDE IS FOR:
-How to change icons in espier launcher
-How to change page indicators
-How to change dock
-How to change notification bubble
-How to add custom icons (for apps not natively themed by espier launcher) RECENTLY EDITED
-How to install onto phone
A. Preliminary Steps:
1. Install apktool http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
2. Create a directory called Espier launcher mod
3. Download Espier launcher http://dl.free.fr/pjgXgBDEb and rename to launcher.apk
4. Place Espier Launcher into that directory.
5. Open terminal.
6. Change terminal directory to your Espier launcher mod folder.
E.G. I ran this:
Code:
cd /home/gaurav/Desktop/Espier launcher mod
7. Decompile the apk.
Code:
apktool d launcher.apk
B. Changing basic icons.
**UPDATE**
Now, to prevent icons from being edited (in a bad way) by Espier Launcher, download this icon and place it in drawable-(h/m/l)dpi. This is crucial to prevent your icons from getting a weird white glow around them!
1. Open res/drawable-(hdpi/ldpi/mdpi/xhdpi) *depending on what screen size your phone is. I have an mdpi so i will go into drawble-mdpi
2. Change the desired icon
For example, the file
Code:
ic_com_android_camera_preparecamera.png
can be replaced by an image of the same (or similar) size. when you're done, it should look like:
http://uppix.net/4/1/e/c43d8a7bc3e1fe2aa29cd3792dbe5.png
3. Refer to Section G
C. Changing page indicators
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find the file:
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus.png
ic_screen_level_normal.png
3. Replace these two files with desired ones
4. Open res/drawable-hdpi
5. Replace these files with desired images.
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus
ic_screen_level_normal.png
ic_screen_level_search_focus.png
ic_screen_level_search_normal.png
ic_screen_level_widget_focus.png
ic_screen_level_widget_normal.png
6. Refer to Section G.
D. How to change dock
1. Navigate to res/drawable-mdpi (in my case)
2. Find file called
Code:
toolbar.png
3. Replace with desired (make sure the dock image is correct size for your phone)
4. Refer to Section G.
E. How to change notification bubble.
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find and replace with desired image
Code:
icon_shuzi1.png
3. Refer to Section G.
F. How to add custom icons
*Warning* This section is a lot more confusing. Please read carefully. *Warning*
1. Navigate to /res/values/arrays.xml
2. Now, it gets tricky.
3. Go this website http://activities.droidicon.com/
4. Search for an app. It should look like this:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/0/9/8/4f7817e4c48f07662595e19ec72e7.png
5. Now, in arrays.xml, scroll down until you see this type of coding
Screenshot http://uppix.net/8/0/e/a9cc14bdf96ecae1dbc6e3a31eed4.png
6. Get to the end of that "chunk" of xml.
7. Let's say we're theming the facebook app. So we add this to xml. (and fill it out with info)
Code:
<item>ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>DESCRIPTIVE_ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>@drawable/NAME_OF_APP</item>
For example:
Code:
<item>com.facebook.katana</item>
<item>com.facebook.katana.LoginActivity</item>
<item>@drawable/facebook</item>
You get the first line of info like this:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/8/0/e/a9cc14bdf96ecae1dbc6e3a31eed4.png
and the second:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/7/b/0/cb6a915df97299a2832be59e39841.png
in that third line of that xml we add (@drawable/NAME_OF_APP), you can name your app anything you want. i made it "facebook" in this case.
8. Save and exit.
9. Find a desired image for your application (in this case facebook).
10. Rename it to "NAME_OF_APP.png" in this case, "facebook.png"
11. Drop that file into drawable/mdpi
12. Repeat steps 1-11 for as many applications as you want to theme.
13. Refer to Section G.
G. How to install on your phone
1. First, save and close everything you're working on.
2. Open your terminal, and change its directory to the "espier launcher mod" folder
3. Type in
Code:
apktool b 'PATH_TO/espier launcher mod' 1.apk
4. Take that 1.apk, and sign it, using a program like ApkSigner http://android-softwares.blogspot.com/2011/08/apksigner-v04-sign-unsigned-android-apk.html
5. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
6. Mount it as a mass storage device.
7. Transfer that signed.apk to the root of your sdcard.
8. Now on your phone, uninstall any current version of EspierLauncher you may have.
9. Then, using a file manager, install the signed.apk from your sdcard.
This too, should be in themes n apps...

Theming Stock Android 9 devices using Vendor Overlay app method
Effortlessly working on Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 device.
Requirements :
Near Stock Android device with OS version 8 or 9.
Root (Magisk Systemless will support)
Es File explorer or similar root file manager
A terminal emulator app
Working :
overlay folder inside vendor folder is where the overlay apps are found which are designed to redirect the paths of the files or the commands inside the app (when system is calling them during boot).
ie; when the Android system reads the files or commands in system ui app or android system app the System will also check on vendor overlay folder for apps that provide replacements.
These replacement rules or files are then pasted over the rules provided by the System apps.
Hence theming is done using the overlay apps.
How to do:
all Informations and terminal emulator commands are found in txt files inside zip. read it properly after unzipping.
