[REF]Android Tools to help with Theming and Modding

Android Tools
I've put together a pack of tools to help with theming and modding These tools will help you do a lot of things. They will help you do things like: decompile APK's, sign APK's, decompress zImage kernels, convert dex to jar to review Java code instead of Smali code, browse sqlite databases, etc!
Included in this tools pack are:
apkmanager 4.9 (apk management suite, for older APK's)
apkmanager 5.0.1 (apk management suite, for newer APK's)
apksigner (sign APK's with personal and test keys)
asmzis (decompress zImage to review initramfs)
dex2jar (convert classes.dex to Java jar, review with GUI)
smali (decompile classes.dex to edit smali code, then recompile)
sqlitebrowser 2.0b1 (extract sqlite DB's from phone, edit)
xUltimate 2.3.1 (deodex framework and apk's)
apktool 1.3.2 (apk modding tool, for older versions of APK's)
apktool 1.4.1 (apk modding tool, for newer versions of APK's)
... and more The best part is, most of the tools can be run with a simple batch file, already included.

Very glad with the work done
But sometimes a pusher for results( nothing bad intended)
It's not that simple.
Of course, android is Java based, but doesn't include all standard java libraries (i.e. graphical libs awt and swing).
If you are sure, that your .jar file is 100% compatible then create android project, include that .jar as a library and use it there.

[AOSP] Android Framework replace in stock roms

Hi, im currently developing a system for wifi-direct application testing.
To do so, i need to change some classes in the android framework, specially in android.net.wifi package.
I've downloaded the Android 6.0.0 source tree, made some changes and recompiled it to x86 to push the new framework into the emulator. (Running Nexus 6 image with Android 6.0.0)
After that i pushed the recompiled jars, boot.art and boot.oat, and the odex files.
When i restart the emulator the image don't work.
Is this possible to do? Change the framework or at least part of her implementation and manually push the files into the emulation?
If so, what can i be doing wrong?
Thanks for the help, Filipe Teixeira

Converting apk to Android tv and firestick basic Source edits ?

Hello to all !
post here my question related to the title
I have an app running OK on Smartphones , Tablets , Android boxes
I'm wondering which files must to be basically edited to modify an existing app to get it runing on an Android Tv and firestick
I mean ...have to understand whats the exactly dynamic if editing manifest file reflect automatically edits to gradle ( syncing the project in Android Studio )
I had a read on Adroid official devs documents but to be honest I can figure out how to do things correctly ( edit manifest in the source before open the project in Android studio or edit it when "into " Android Studio ) do I have to manually edit even gradle file ( property and/or app ).
I know that app for TV and firestick have different behavior and doesnt require some activity like touchscreen ... they have to run with remote control , style and layout must be different so you have to add leanback to help you , banner to show in tv home ..
but my difficult is "start" to edit and where exactly to avoid load of warning in res/style and layout running the app with Tv emulator in Android Studio
Sorry for my poor explanation ...I'm an entusiast "homemade" dev
