Hi everyone, I was trying to use this mod ( WAMOD, you can find it in github by Brian Valente ) but in order to use it, I have to merge the mod with the apk, I can decompile the apk but then I dont know how to merge the apk with the mod. Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the XDA Forums!
The WAMOD you are talking about is a mod that seems like a nice concept, so I understand you'd like to get it. Hopefully this can answer your questions regarding on how to merge the apk with the mod since you'll have to understand some parts of smali. You'll also need android studio (Google how to get that) and the java development kit (get it before installing android studio from here) to compile the WAMOD from the source (in this case, github!) so you can decompile and get the smali code.
Hope that helps and leave a thanks if it did

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. Thanks in advance

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?

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
Platform Developer Guide: http://pdk.android.com

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....

Here's the replies
1. That depends of the device you currently own
2. I use gedit but most people says that gedit and Vim are the best editors for ubuntu.
Also you would need the android sdk (for adb) also you will need jdk. If you want more informations don't be affraid to ask.
EDIT: I forgot to ask which languages you have learned?
im learning Python using google.com/edu great online webinars my company want me to also learn ruby as we develop our apps using rails.
thanks for the reply i will look for a standard android image i can decompile and test with.

You cant decompile any compiled to machine code program, its basic.. You can only get source code or deassemble to unreadable and unusable code.

Thank you for your help.
But i when i try to build it, i've git an error and it says:
Error:FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Task 'assemble' not found in root project 'Keyguard'.
* Try:
Run gradle tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

And Second After DoThat How Can I Make It APK Again I Mean How to Re Create APK File With That My Own Codes. Someone Can Help Me ? Its So Much Important , Thanks Everyone
I think, if have all necessary files, you need to compile a project from android studio.
There are several topics that will help you.

From the way you worded it it sounds more like you have a decompiled apk, not the source code for the apk. Depending on what you want to edit you may need the actual source code to make the changes. What are you trying to do?

I m trying to get admin permissions by editing codes. i got some codes with dex2jar from classses.dex file . and game got commands ... some commands like give money , health , energy etc need admin or modarator permissions. for example "super("Armor", SocialEnums.UserRole.Admin);" in codes its admin but i can change it to Player so then i can use that comman.
if i cant get admin - modarator permissins then i can edit prices of items to free but as i said i need to learn how to re-create apk

What you are trying to do is considered cracking an app which makes it warez. This is banned on this site. You will find no help doing what you want. As for decompiling and recompiling an apk there are tut all over the site. Search and you fill find what you need. But take this as your warning. Asking for help cracking the app will get you banned. Take this as your only warning.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone with the expertise would know how to compile a module that was made for marshmallow to bring it to nougat. Sadly the developer has abandoned the project and closed the xda thread, while not responding to messages.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/lp-knock-code-screen-t3272679
that is the module in question. I have tried to decompile the apk and recompile after making a few changes, however it just worsened the case.

Any chance you cloned its git repo? Not only he won't answer any message but he had the incredibly selfish-prick act of deleting the git repo for Knock code so no one can work on it!

Yep, that is the main reason I haven't been able to work on it myself. Nor am i good enough to reverse engineer the apk.
Here you have the source code.
I haven't the ability to work on it for myself and it would be safer if someone more capable would do it, but at least i gave you the source code and hope it'a useful.
I would recommend you as well to open a new thread with the source code link on first page to get more people to work on it and hope we can get the knock code back.
Big ups, tell me if it was helpful.

Edit: remember this is a non-flashable zip, in case you were wondering, it's the apk just decompiled, unzip it and inside you have the whole amount of java files that contain the source code
You will need an app able to unzip files and read java files.
Otherwise download it to your computer (recommended)
