OK, So I've gotten to breaking down and recompiling those pesky .dex files, but I've run into a new problem.
This is a noob question, I'm sure, but .so files look like unformatted, binary files. How do I open then, edit them, etc? I need to read whats going on in my libs. :-(
Are these X11? I'm running ubuntu 10.04 x64 - so those could be difficult.
ie - unreliable 64 bit support.
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib32/libX11.so

They're native library files, so platform specific machine code I imagine. Look for an ARM disassembler. I'm not familiar with linux internals, so don't know how you find the entry points, but it obviously will be widely documented. Is it impossible to obtain the source code? Assuming most are written in C/C++, reverse engineering from the machine code is not something I'd describe as a pleasant experience. If the source was well written assembly language & not too big, it can be almost enjoyable I guess. But then TBH walking through a randomly selected programmer's source, let alone object, files scares me, in a Tim Burton inspired bad trip kinda way. If you can find the source, it will be an order of magnitude less painful.
Try IDA Decompiler, it should disassemble all so files!
Most of the libs are open source in the aosp. Some are proprietary blobs with the only solution to them being reverse engineering.
.so disassembly
i know how to disassemble it
you will need orion's easy apk disassembler and apk manager
i've tested it once and it worked, but there´s a problem, i dont know how to re-assemble
1- rename the file .so to .apk like "libtestlib.so" to "libtestlib.apk"
2- put in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" of apk manager
3- open script.bat (or something like this) from Apk manager
4- use extract apk option
in the beggining my images inside the lib was corrupted so i used step 5 to fix
5- use option optimise images inside to fix images
6- go to project folder and copy classes.dex file to the root of easy apk disassembler's folder
7- open EasyApkDisassembler.EN.bat and use the "DISASSEMBLY a classes.dex with smali" option
8- give a name to the folder (like "libtestlib")
9- it will create a folder (like "out_libtestlib") with the disassembled files

I've tried to open libsurfaceflinger.so from my device with 7zip, and it worked too
thats it
@gkillershots
not working
i renamed .so to .apk and used extract option but getted error :
Processing archive: C:\APKMultiTools\place-apk-here-for-modding\libnative-lib.apk
Error: Can not open file as archive
"An Error Occurred, Please Check The Log (option 26)"
I had extract surces files from an .apk application and I'd like to open XML files in the folder "res"
I import it in eclipse but i obtain this message:
"No XML content. Please add a root view or layout to your document."
you're right !
xml files in res folder doesn't seem to be real xml but "DBase 3 data file"
-> using the "file" command (on linux)
res/layout$ file main.xml
main.xml: DBase 3 data file (864 records)
Why not just use Notepad++ or Geany(Linux) ? That how i edit xml files.

If anybody want to edit an xml inside an apk, he must decompile with proper decompiler (apktool) . Then only he can edit the xml with notepad or gedit or Geany .
Simple extracting of xml file will that suffice. XML extracted from apk with a zip manager , may not even viewed properly with notepad gedit or Geany .
yeah, you must decompile the .apk , then you can edit the xml file by a text editor.
Yes, you cannot just unzip the .apk and edit the files. You must de compile the apk first:

It is easy, then you can edit all you want.
Then: compile, zip, sign.
Hello !!!
I'm not a real developper but I manage to make a little tool FOR DEVS to accelerate java src decompile
I don't know if it can be useful, but I wanted to share it ...
I don't really create something, all the tools already exist, you know them all :
JD-GUI : Java decompiler
Dex2jar : useful tool to transform .dex in readable .jar to get java src
Why did I made this ?
I searched how to get java src, useful to build apk or even compile sources, but only found manual way.
Ok decompiling one or 2 files is not a big deal ... but when you need to decompile a whole rom ......
What can this tool do ?
getting the java src from an apk and / or a .jar (framework.jar for eg) dex2jar and jd-gui already allow it
can decompile several files (.jar and or .apk)
rename each file to is native name
How to use it ?
This tool only works on Linux
Download attached zip or here
Unzip the file in home folder The folder must be in home and musn't be renamed or it won't work properly
launch the dex.sh (double click in graphic or use ./dex.sh commande in terminal)
Follow the instructions
.classes files need to be associated to JD-GUI use this programm. If you don't know if they already are or not, don't worry let the command do it ...
For more information, I included lines to make .jar files open by JD-GUI.
If you don't need / want these files to be associated after you use this tool type in terminal
PHP:
cd ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
sudo rm open-in-jd-gui.sh
This tool is not perfect ... firstly I made it for me ....but finally wanted to share it ...
if you like it just tell me and use it ... if you don't .... ok just tell me why I would improve it ...
Huge thanks to :

tommytomatoe : for his wonderful Android Utility and for the command lines that helped me more than a lot !!! :good:
this is really useful
especially to decompile stock sony jar/apk to port some java classes from their frameworks

Bro, please reupload file, link is down
Thanks
EDIT:
sorry, i am dumb. THX a lot!
Hi!
Is there any way to edit the zip files without extracting? I mean replacing/deleting files without need to extract the zip/rar files!
Is there any app for that?
Thanks!!!
Powergrasp. But if you want to edit a file then you can extract that file(only that file), edit it and then copy and replace inside the zip. Hope this helps. O
use vim editor in linux/ubuntu
usage : vim filename.zip
edit the contents and save it using :x
7-Zip for Windows
Hi
I need help with modifying android emulator kernel and ramdisk, or far better a custom rom for the emulator, I wanna know ho can I edit emulators kernels and ramdisks? like nox, memu or etc
As I wanted to do that, I decompressed my emulator's system.vmdk with 7zip, there was 2 img files and a non extension file :
Code:
0.img
1.img
2
I've extracted both img files, but the non extension file name "2" coudnl't be extracted and NotePad++ can't read it and I don't know what's that yet
the first img ( 0.img ) include 3 files without extension :
Code:
cmdline
kernel
ramdisk
that's what I got from cmdline file with NotePad++ :
Code:
root=/dev/ram0 init=/init androidboot.hardware=android_x86 quiet console=tty0 console=ttyS0 androidboot.console=tty0 ignore_loglevel cpuidle.off=1 oprofile.timer=1 oprofile.cpu_type=timer
but of course NotePad++ was unable to open kernel and ramdisk, is it any way to modify them?
and I've got these from extracting 1.img ( Headers Error show after extracting with 7zip ) :
Code:
[SYS]
[UNKNOWN]
app
bin
etc
fonts
framework
lib
lost+found
media
priv-app
usr
vendor
xbin
build.prop
I tried these ways but I couldn't succeed yet
1. I tried Oracle VM Virtual Box and VMware Workstation, installed an android os and tried to modify parameters there, but there was no luck and os couldn't start with emulator system.vmdk
2.I used [KITCHEN]Android Kernel Kitchen 0.3.1 to unpack the ramdisk and kernel file I explained above but there was not luck, also the kitchen coudln't extract those two img files, the I used 7zip
I know it's possible, because some one else did it months ago but I have no clue what he did and he don't tell any body what he did
I'm not a developer and yes I'm a noob at what I'm trying to learn and do, and that's why I'm here, so please help me to learn and do this
New question, is there any way to connect emulator to py usb debugging? I wanna use terminal emulator but is say device is offline
nobody helping, and I have a new question. I search a lot but I couldn't find any way, is it possible to flash a custom rom on emulators like nox ? or other emulator, there are tutorials but they use vmware, I want t flash a custom rom on emulators like nox, not virtual box or vmware, if some one knows please give me tut or help
there are threads with creating kernel, rom and etc for mobile, but I wanna do that on emulator, if some one knows, please help
