[Q] Any similar application to "APK-Tool"/"APK-Manager" for Android ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Any similar application to "APK-Tool"/"APK-Manager" for Android ?
Well, I would like to know if there's an app for Android which have some functions similar to the ones of APKTool and/or APKMultitool
In other word, I would like to edit apks using my Android device itself
An app for Unpacking and Repacking apks.

We need specific tools to decompile an APK and such tools don't exist on Android devices.

Oh No !

So sad
I could edit them by using Root Explorer to unpack and repack BUT this way seems unfair.
Thanks for your reply

You could manually deodex the files using baksmali, I would recommend taking a look at this guide here for instructions on how to deodex the files.

Yes you should use the same api level for all the apps you want to deodex to avoid inconsistencies.
So should I deodex each app individally using this scheme
baksmali -a 15 -x APP.odex -d framework -o APP

where APP is name of app I want to deodex (app from system/app and from system/framewok)
Am I right?
I want to be sure that I understand this process
Did you try dsixda kitchen?

Correct that is the syntax that should be used, you could technically make the output directory name whatever you want it to be put for simplicity and organization I recommend making it the same as the app you are deodexing (So if your deodexing calculator it would be best to make the output directory calculator as well to keeps things organized).
I've just run deodexing on dsixda kitchen and it seems working, I had to set API level to 10.
I have problem with spktool. I have newest release and the problem is that I can decompile every app but when I try to compile anything back, there is no apk file in folder and lot's of errors in console. I tried it manually and using terminall tools but every way doesn't work for compiling :/
(I'm trying to translate MokeeOS and LewaOS)

Error while recompiling APK

Hello XDA brothers.
I am running Android APK MULTI TOOL for recompiling and decompiling an APK. When I decompile it, it goes smoothly. But when I attempt recompiling, it gives A LOT of errors stating at the end "... is not defined". This is not an after-mod error because I tried recompiling it right after decompiling, without even opening the decompiled folder. It still gives the same error. Kind of frustrating. So, can anyone help?¿

But you just said to deodex them files -.- Hold on, lets start again.
I want to decompile a non-system apk file and then recompile. Decompile goes smooth but while recompiling, it states a BUNCH of errors saying "........ is not defined". This is what I want to fix about

Thanks for quick resolution. I have heard about android app, that we can directly edit file from that. Is that android app to edit apk file is effective? does it really edit apps like apktool?
try virtuous ten studio, much better.

HELP! How to decomplie (smali), edit and recompile .APK (OREO)

I'm trying to decompile a system .APK file for editing from a stock Oreo rom (for Galaxy S7 G930F, extracted from ROM using Kitchen).
The problem is when I try to decompile the APK, I do not get the Smali-files, but if I deodex the file I can properly see and edit the smali-files.
However, when I try to recompile it I get alot of errors. Even if I don't edit the files just decompile/recompile. (odex'd and deodex'd ones)
I've tried several softwares including ApkTool, Advanced APK Tool, Android MultiTool etc.
How can I do this right? Have I missed something?
Windows 10 x64
JRE & JDK installed
Framework-res.apk installed in software (odex for odex, and deodex for deodex)
Thanks in advance!
try batch apktool also install other special frameworks if there are any ( like mediatek-res.apk or cyanogenmod-res.apk)

Thanks, I will try it later tonight! Do you know specifically if/what frameworks needed for Galaxy roms? I've only read about "Framework-res.apk" so that's the one I've been trying with.
