APK Tool PC Setup

Post by ZXasCreator »

Apktool

A tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with an app easier because of project-like file structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.

It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms, analyzing applications and much more.

Features:
-Disassembling resources to nearly original form (including resources.arsc, classes.dex, 9.png. and XMLs)
-Rebuilding decoded resources back to binary APK/JAR
-Organizing and handling APKs that depend on framework resources
-Smali Debugging (to be removed in 2.1.0 in favor of IdeaSmali)
-Helping with repetitive tasks

Requirements
-Java 7 (JRE 1.7)
-Basic knowledge of Android SDK, AAPT and smali

Install Instructions
Download Windows [Please login or register to view this link] (Right click, Save Link As

Code: Select all

apktool.bat
)
Download apktool-2 (find newest [Please login or register to view this link])
Rename downloaded jar to apktool.jar
