I found many threads of people who can't deodex Email.apk, Mobileprint.apk, even manualy, including every .jar in the baksmali.jar -c: xxxx.
Is there a Dev who could give us the command line to succesfully deodex Email.odex and Mobileprint.odex ?
Thanks
Edit 06/30/2011 : I am ready to donate for the help you could give me
Found the same threads you did.. I am researching this as well.. Will keep you updated if I find anything.
U don't need to deodex the whole rom, though you will need to deodex the whole framework.

Ok, thanks for the answer, but what to do with the .odex files (Email and Mobileprint), I'm not going to leave them non deodexed with others deodexeds apk ?

i wana know this tooo
If ur not changing anything in the BOOTCLASSPATH files, u can deodex a single file
-app for eg.-, edit it and put it into ur device without deodexing anything else, delete the existing odex file.
u'll need baksmali for that purpose-apktool donot have that feature btw-also u'v to have framework files available (just pull the entire framework directory from the phone) pass it's directory via the -d option. App depends on particular jar files will require that through -c option.

That's the problem, even with the entire framework directory, I am not able to deodex Email.apk and Mobileprint.apk . Seems like if missing Bootclasspath ...
No problem manualy deodexing every other apks ..
I tried to deodex both of these files with omrij's tool and it was successfull.

I wonder if it ignores certain errors. If i use baksmali with the -I option, i can get deodexed output, But obviously the APK won't work.

I got it done for u method is a bit complicated though
First of all, Thanks!
Second of all, I'm much more interested on how its done rather than the apps themselves. I'd be very happy if you could share how by any means.

Deodexing is not my favorite stuff I do it for my personal use at times, I use my own set of scripts on linux with custom bootclasspaths.
Would recommend to have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions

I also wrote my own deodexing bash script with baksmali/smali/zip. The thing is, Those two APK request java libraries to deodex (java.awt.* and javax.swing.*). I could't find anywhere to get those dependencies from, So if you could share which boot classes you used for satisfying those requirements, it would be great.
Thanks!

I have found out how you do it, by checking my bash logs way back
Just use the -I ignore flag on the command, along with regular bootclasspath.
The errors are not an issue and the apps work fine.
Enjoy.

I too would love the help and for possibly someone to take me under their wing. I am very eager to learn. I'm always on my phone, and always trying to read, but sometimes the forums just contradict themselves, and let's face it, with all the drama going on in the forum, it can sometimes get a little frustrating trying to ask for help, especially when someone doesn't want to be bothered by a noob.

Not sure what you are asking. For the sdk tools, do you mean the android sdk? If so, follow the instructions on the sdk page. For the images, I assume you mean the boot.img and possibly system.img. You do not open these. If you have a system.img, that means you probably have a shipped rom. Use the kitchen to create working folder from rom, and choose this. It should auto extract the system partition. As for the boot.img, you don't generally need to extract this, but there is an option in the advanced settings of the kitchen. You can change your rom's kernel in the boot.img.

Hey Guys!
First of all a bit of encouragement. The android kitchen sure as hell does not turn you into a rom developer. I decided i wanted to use the kitchen just over 2 weeks ago and run ubuntu in a virtual window. From then I decided I did not like windows anymore so installed linux as my main os and had to learn that (trust me getting the graphics card to work was a chore) I finally got the kitchen working tonight and decided to sign up to xda. Even with my limited knowledge I have been able to help someone on here tonight. Read Read Read and ask questions if you can not find the right answers on the forum. Research pays off eventually. (I now softmod nintendo wiis professionally from learning off a forum!!!!) Remember everyone has to start somewhere even if you are a noob and don't get disheartened if someone says you should have read this this and this. As long as you learn from ur mistake I'm sure people wont mind too much.
SFUK
aha... so let me understand i need ubuntu?
and i need to open system img fot the app edit
can someone pls answer yes im using android sdk and yes i use stock rom how to edit img? i need to edit system for app app folder edit i could open it at linux reader but icant edit its all written in hex

Im about to take the dive myself, still rounding up the tools. Was about to dl virtual...unbuntu etc but read this just now and it makes sence so as much as i want to screwup my phine as fast as possible i think i will follow this advice.

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.
Android Developer Guides: http://d.android.com
Working with AOSP source: http://source.android.com

Android Gitweb: http://android.git.kernel.org

How Dexopt works and what are those odex files: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pla...5936;hb=master
The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

What version of Linux are you running? Are you running Ubuntu? I never had much luck using the Android Kitchen in a virtual environment for some reason. When I installed Ubuntu as my main OS, however, that made all the difference. From there you'll also need to make sure you have the Java Developers Kit (JDK) installed or at least open-jdk (Open source alternative) installed in order to run the Android Kitchen or the SDK for that matter.
There's a really good tutorial on how to set up the SDK on Ubuntu 10.10 or Ubuntu 11.04 which is what I had used to set up the SDK on linux for the first time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
I prefer 10.10 just because I'm not huge on Ubuntu's newer Unity interface and my old laptop seems to run 10.10 a lot better than 11.04 or 11.10 but that's another story.
Once you have the SDK setup, you can then run the kitchen accordingly.
I use a tool called Android Utility by tommytomatoe which is essentially a collection of tools for creating custom ROMs, editing apk's, etc. It just happens to also include dsixda's kitchen which is a nice plus. You can download that here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3303-utility-android-utility-apktooldex2jarsmalimoremac-linuxoct09-2011/
Hope this helps. Good luck, dood!
**Edit** My bad... There's also a thread for Android Utility on XDA also....

Android is based on Linux(and kind of java also) so you would need Linux and java knowledge also, if you want to customize the ROM throughly.

For example, in your v4, i saw remount tweak, and there was JOURNALISM removing for ext4 partition. But you noticed that it is only for /data /system? Our partitions are in yaffs2, so we don't have journal.

Hi..im a quite fresh android user after having iphone for the last 4 years....i have a huawei ideos x5 pro that for me at least is a great phone for his price..but the major problem is that we don't have devs for our phone...only one chinese guy that develops roms for at least 7 phones so we aren't his major concern...so im asking if there is a complete noob guide for compiling rom..fixing rom.
i have to tell you and please don't flame that even that i have knowlage over pc's i haven't any knowlage over programming and coding!!so if any guide can't help me it will be ok...i try! but if there is a guide that can help me step by step to understand the basics and then with a bit of research can figure it out the rest it will be helpful!!
Thanks!!

There isn't a "type this, click this, A,B,C" guide. That would be called just copying somebody's work. What you need to do is start reading through ALL the guides you can find, compile a kernel, read smali, change colors, mod pictures, unpack-repack boot.imgs. I can't give you a link and say "Read this tutorial and you will be a developer", that's just not how it works.

I compile linux kernels for desktop, but the android kernel is not the same. Cyanogen team and GOOGLE Android developers provides a comprehensive guide on building ur own ROM. But to build ur own OS, u need to understand each component carefully. I don't know abt android, but i am making Linux OS from scratch. I have kernel compiled, tool chain set up, now i am putting apps on it. But android uses DALVIK VM for Java apps, also .... U refer the pdf it will tell u. Once i finish making this OS, i'll focus on Android ROMS. They r similar to Linux OS, but require patches in kernel, a light c lib, new fs, a different vm (dalvik) and different ways of managing i/o interrupts and much more..
this link is on porting android on nokia >> http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/Porting-Android-to-a-new-device/
this one is on linux on embedded systems >> http://www.lindusembedded.com/blog/2010/12/07/android-linux-kernel-additions/
Also, sorry to say but learn C/C++/Java . To make ROMS, atleast to make modifications and to understand the kernel u'll need C. Not very hard to learn, Good tuts on Lynda.com and other sites. And be good at Linux. Happy Learning
Hello peeps,
I found myself a li'l bit lazy to decompile/re-compile apk files through a command line window each and every time by instructing it
So I decided to build a GUI version of apktool that will help me, and ofcourse others, to decompile and re-build apk files in just a single click.
UPDATED v3.5 with signapk, dex2jar and smali tools.
What is x-TOOLS?
x-TOOLS (previously known as x-APKTool) is a set of GUI-based android engineering tools.
x-TOOLS lets you do forward/reverse engineering in an easy and more convenient way. :good:
Features:
• One-click decompile apk file.
• One-click compile/re-compile edited apk file.
• One-click sign apk and update.zip file.
• One-click conversion of .dex file to .jar file and vice versa.
• One-click conversion of smali files to human readable form and vice versa.
• Detailed logs of output and error (if found).
• Save detailed log in text file.
• Keep recent files record for fast access.
• One-click install framework-res.apk to decompile and recompile stock/custom rom’s dependent apk files.
• One-click install SemGenericUxpRes.apk or resources.apk file.
• Working to build more new features…
Minimum requirements of x-TOOLS:
1. .net framework 3.5 or higher. Download here (if you are on Windows 7 or higher you don’t need to install it.)
2. JRE 1.6 or higher. Download here
NOTE: There was an old problem with Samsung Smali codes that gave error in baksmali process. So if you want to decompile your apk (extracted from Samsung devices), you have to first remove classes.dex file from apk using 7-zip/Winrar and then tried decompiling the apk.
Tested and suggested by aadroid.dev at here
Screenshot:
Attached at bottom of OP.
Changelog:
V3.5:
1. x-APKTool is now formally known as x-TOOLS.
2. Added GUI-based dex2jar tool.
3. Added GUI-based smali tool.
4. Added GUI-based separate apk and update.zip signing tool.
5. Added an option to select,copy and save detailed log in text file. (right click on log window to get these options)
6. Icon improved
7. Added (minor) Google licence info.
8. Fixed some minor bugs.
v1.5:
1. Added automatically signing apk after compilation.
2. Added more info about processing apk file.
3. Added more info about processing apk file.
4. Fixed path name and file name related issues.
5. Fixed a major bug that occurred while forcely decompiling apk file.
6. Fixed some minor bugs.
v1.0:
1. Initial release

v1.5 : very nice. :good:
but runtime error when run as user (file access) (bunch of errors in baksmali too, then) , but works nicely as admin.
command line tool apktool does not require admin access, which is better.
very handy tool tho.
Trying!!

If you are accessing a file from a location where creation/updation/deleition of file requires admin privileges then you have to run program as admin (even command window also requires admin rights to perform admin level tasks), otherwise it works fine as user level.

Open framework-res.apk from file menu and click on decompile button.
Now you have to search files manually in which you want to make changes.

VTS is prolly the best android engineering software to date!,
it teaches you smail and xml code editing, dependencies, specific debugs, comparison of 2 or more xml's for reverse engineering

OK I reinstalled to D:\xxx instead of C:\PROGRAM FILES
then it works much better in VISTA. (no trouble with admin access required)
