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.

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.

I don't understand what it happen.
what is changed by compiling?
I attached a file which is tested.
thank you.
Hi guys,
I'm owning a Nexus 5 with original ROM.
I'm trying to decompile with apktool the LINE app (messaging app, from Naver) because I want to change the androidmanifest.xml in order to prevent the app to be shown on recent application list (LINE content is shown on that list even if passcode is enabled).
The steps I follow are:
1 - Download LINE apk from google play
2 - Decompile it with apktool
3 - Modifiy androidmanifest.xml
4 - Compile with apktool
5 - Sign with a test certificate
6 - Install the new apk to device (Nexus 5)
The app installs, but when I execute it, it suddenly stops with a message (Application stopped).
I tried the same procedure on Whatsapp and it worked, so I think LINE's server is verifying that the client app is what is supposed to be (maybe comparing file sizes? certificates?? ).
The original apk downloaded on step 1 is correct, I can install it and the app works.
If I bypass step 3 (just decompile and compile the "same" code), same result (Application stopped).
I'm really stucked on it. Does someone ever tried this? I would really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

I wanted to disable the Flash to black/screen update function on my yotaphone 2 e-ink's screen as it really disturbes me. I worked out there was a setting to do this in the phones SDK app.
I decompiled the YD_YotaphoneSDK.apk app and changed some of the settings in the classes.dex files so as to disable the full screen refresh (i.e change the backscreenmanager waveform mode to A2). I then recompiled the YD_YotaphoneSDK.apk app however when I attempt to install it on my YotaPhone it states 'Parse Error- There was a problem while parsing the package'.
Im pretty sure it needs to be resigned but cannot workout how, when i attempt to do so in android studio i get the following error: Error:Android Source Generator: [YD_YotaphoneSDK] Package is not specified in AndroidManifest.xml
Can anybody with some relevant experience give my some suggestions of how I can resign or enable this recompiled version of the APK to be installed on my yotaphone.
I have attached the edited apk file
