5. use "apktool b CMParts CMParts1.apk" to compile modified files;
6. use CMParts1.apk's resources.arsc to replace CMParts.apk's resources.arsc;
7. copy CMParts.apk to /system/app, and grant it all permissions.
Any other CM settings work well;
the string"警告：前面有怪兽！" is be change to "警告！" succeed.
My OS is Win7(32bit), Used tools is apktool 1.4.3;
Sorry my English, My English is so poor;
Can anyone help me? Thx.^*(- -)*^
this ploblem is sloved, plz look 5th floor.
Nobody can help me? :-(
I've modded a few apks and im pretty sure you have to delete the new resources.arsc (the one from the project folder) before recompiling or it won't work, that could be why you get fc.
Also did you copy your modified XML to the new project folder too?

but, when compile the modified xml,
the modified xml is not exist in CMParts1.apk,
and i replace the resources.asrc,
the string which i wanna modified is changed,
to puzzle me, the xml which lead to fc, is not the strings.xml,
In my opinion, it should be in /res/values/X.xml.

the cmparts.apk cant be decomplied by apktool or other tools,
if modify, should be modify the Source Code from CyanogenMod,
that's all.
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 wan't to get the asset located in assets folder in apk file. I guess it was the file "game.droid". But how to open it. I've tried to decompile the classes.dex to view the source code but couldn't figure out what happen Please help me. I love the style of this game. I just use it for learning purpose only. :victory:
Sorry here is link of apk: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zxy2z5t69tzolg3/hero_siege.apk
Please help me
Hello community,
I'm very glad to share my first trial of development which ran successfully for me and hope this will be useful for the rest.
I'm a big fan of a few chinese apps (baidu cloud, weiyun). Previously I was able to decompose and translate these apks to english until vendors injected apk signature validations into their apps. I even used these apps in foreign language but the experience were annoying. So I decided to translate these apps with some development. Eventually I came across resXploit by WisdomSky which give me a clue and I started this and it works :good:.
Basically resOverloader overloads strings.xml file for any apk (application). Source code is hosted on github for other devs to incorporate other resources as well. I'm not experienced dev and sharing this here for others and further development.
How to setup
Extract strings.xml from your target apk using apktool. read more
Translate strings.xml to your language. (I had developed a tool for it and would share it later)
Now create resOverloader folder in sdcard.
Find your app full qualified name in applications under settings and create a folder with app full name. (eg. com.baidu.netdisk)
Now copy the translated strings.xml to app folder inside resOverloader.
Restart your phone and it is done.
Hope this will help starters and requesting experience devs to add arrays.xml to this.
Github: https://github.com/babuilyas/resOverloader
Change log:
2.0 : rebuilt with targetSDK 14 and it should work for 2.2+ now. pls confirm.
Thank you for reading... Cheers.

Thanks all for praising my work. Here is my translation utility which can help you translate any xml file with auto fixing of literals and escapes within source text.
How it works!
The first step is, hand your xml file (strings.xml). Read OP
Run XML_translator.exe and select the file to translate. (language selectors are not working now and hardcoded to CN->EN)
Click Start translating.
The utility will take time and depends on source file length. At the end you will see strings-new.xml file. Rename it to strings.xml and use it with resOverloader.
I would soon remove the hardcoded part to enable multilingual translations.
Thank you very much.
I made a request for this feature in the request thread sometime back, but no developer was interested. . I will try it now and report back.
Edit: IT WORKS. My translated texts show up.
However, I would like only to see the translated texts when the system language is switched to that language only. So I could see original English texts when the system language is set to English.

OP could add localized string switching by checking filename suffix against Locale.getDefault().getLanguage(). So if you wanted to add multiple languages to an app, you'd just need strings-en.xml, strings-it.xml, etc etc
Yay , now yunpan/tencent/baidu drive shall all become translated
I was thinking about it latest two weeks and someone made it! Impressive!
nice work.. i'm waiting the translate strings tool..
This is really impressive.
Thank you very much for you work m8.
I'm on stock N4, and can't get this module to work. I decompiled and translated strings.xml, but there's no change in app. Should be translated strings.xml compiled back, before putting it to sdcard?
Great module, thx for your work. Also very interested in your translation tool. Also been thinking a lot about how to automate APK translation but to no avail.
Some features that i was thinking that can be added BUT not sure if they can be implemented:
- Load list of installed apps via GUI;
- Decompile the apk and extract the strings to a full app name folder (No idea if apk can be decompile from within an app)
- Tell user to edit the strings.xml
- Check if strings.xml was edited and in case it was prompt for reboot.

I'm new and still learning android development. Im planning to integrate translating utility inside this app and would allow users to translate any app on the fly on the device.

make sure, you have copied translated xml in resOverloader\[your app full name]\strings.xml in internal memory (sdcard).
Bug: translated apps show an escaping slash-chars.
Can you add a possibility:
- to download and update of translation resources from github for all installed apps? In such case you should only define a resource location URL.
- for localization of res/layout/*.xml & res/xml/*.xml & etc
Is there a opportunity to use also preferences.xml?

I tried with 4 apps, the results are as follows:
- AppSetting (xposed module): OK
- Nova Launcher: Partially OK, many strings remain in English
- Omniswitch (OmniRom): Not working (all texts are still in English)
- Transdroid: OK
:highfive:

Share Xposed log and thanks for testing this app.
I saw the log, but didn't find any FC. See if there is anything in translated xml.

Hello all! I have downloaded and successfully build the AOSP for marshmallow (android-6.0.1_r79). Than I made some changes to the stockkeyboard (regarding to my other topic, but not relevant here). The file which I modified was this here:
packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/java/src/com/android/inputmethod/latin/LatinIME.java
I compiled the code and it was successfull too. But than I realize I face some problems.
I mounted the system.img and get into the path: /system/app/LatinIME/
I decompiled the app (jadx, apktool) to check if the modification there is available and here is the problem
This APK does not contain any Java sources?! Its just xml regarding to the layout. When I replace my old Stockkeyboard with this one, it is still perfectly working? So I got not clue whats going on.
Question regarding to this topic are:
How can I make a modification to the stock keyboard LatinIME
Building this new AOSP image with the new keyboard
And extracting the new keyboardj(APK) out of this image to install it on my device (Root permissions are of course available)
What I have tryed:
Modyfing the following Java file: packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/java/src/com/android/inputmethod/latin/LatinIME.java
Compiling the complete project (make -j4 and just the keyboard: make -j LatinIME)
Replacing my own keyboard with the modified stock keyboard
My steps are as described not working. The keyboard appears and its working but the modification seems to be missing. Also by decompiling it, there are no Java sources within it.
I am relly glad for any help to this topic! Thank you!
