sir,
i'm getting a log error-
input filet was not found or was not readable.

i'm using advanced apktool v4.2.0
running on windows 7 platform.

how do i fix this?
thanks!

whew I'm not getting any reply from the thread starter. Anyhow I managed to get through with the tutorial and I find it incomplete.
Step 4 was not clear enough where to locate the a.smali file, i actually found it in folder smali/com/handler/

Another thing apk file name should contain no spaces because advance apktool cannot read it.

Salamat!

I'm glad that the tutorial helped you..though answers to your questions were already at the tutorial and the images with it, you certainly nailed it with your skills in searching things your own way. :bravo

thank you sir,
there is a new version of apktool jar file posted at xda forum. i think it was v2.2 I have been working my way on how to embed it in bdfreaks tool instead of the older v2.0 configured in the app.
..needing more knowledge pa how to reprogram it in the tool. Ive done it once but bdfreak refuses to read the new jar file...perhaps you are capable sir. so we can have an updated advance apk tool. Yes i know it was the creation of bdfreak but i do think there is no harm in doing it our own way, provided that we use the tool in our domain...ahehe

err. i wish i could do that.. i am just a keen observer and not even studied programming or anything .. :bump

ahaha, no worries sir, same here non IT person too ...
just discovering networking and some program codes which at my level I could barely interpret the syntax relationship.

after some experimenting.. i download the apktool.jar version 2.2.0 at xda forums link: [Please login or register to view this link] and then renamed it as apktool and replace the existing apktool.jar at the folder AdvanceApkTool\1-BDFreak. and now it uses the apktool version 2.2.0 instead of the previous one..

without reprogramming and changing the whole BDFreaks.
