Build.prop Worktool for Windows (v1.7 - July 26 2011)

Script is standalone : you can download latest version without upgrading from previous version
v1.6 > Big update on 3G+ tweak addon, more powerful and much faster
Build.prop Worktool - A powerful but safe build.prop manager/editor
Hi !
Okay guys, since I know how powerful the build.prop can be, I love to play with it.
But I was bored to edit using Root Explorer, or using ADB command-line...
So... Let me present you my outrageously complicated (internally) script to manage your build.prop right from your computer, with ease, fun and safety !
GENERAL :
For any Windows NT kernel (Developped under Windows 7 x64... so should work everywhere )
Portable and ready to use - No installation required, all files included (ADB with drivers also)
Lightweight (<3Mb unzipped, because of ADB very big lol)
Tested on XPERA x10i but should work on ANY Android powered device (if your ROM uses a build.prop located into /system/)
KEY FEATURES :
Easy open/edit your build.prop in your default text editor
Backup creation/management
Save backup on your computer and/or on your device
Safe (Automatic backup generator - Manages up to 2 backup files, exhaustive log file)
Automatic permissions management
Add-on capability : possible to add automated installation scripts to tweak your build.prop
List of present add-ons : 3G+ enhancement tweak
Very clean : deletes all temporary files, auto start/stop ADB server and kills the process when useless
Convenient : direct access to this thread, easy to use
v1.6+ : (beta) Build.prop XPlorer, to check with ease your build.prop
I based the main script on my 3G+ enhancement script, available on the official thread.
** As usual... Use at your own risk **
Test, comment, criticize, if you find anything, just drop a comment or PM

FAQ
FAQ​- Supported devices
It is first developped for Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10, but it should work on any Android device with these requirements :
* Rooted
* File system is mounted Read/Write.
* Build.prop is located into /system/ and named "build.prop"
Sony Ericsson XPERIA x10 : fully working
Samsung Galaxy S2 : half working (file system is read-only...)
- How it's working ?
The script works generally in this way :
It downloads from your device your build.prop and creates two temporary backups.
Then, it opens one of the temporary backup into notepad, to let you edit all you want.
Once file closed/saved, the file is reconfigured automatically, then sent back to your device.
The script allows you next to keep, on wish, the remaining backup and to reboot your device.
- Is this safe ?
The script makes a backup of your build.prop every time you try to access it. There's also human-friendly log file to help you identify problems with ease.
There is also NO automatic upload to your device : the script will always ask you before if you want to upload the new build.prop to your device. Even if you upload it, backup is stored and can even be stored safely on your device for future use.
- Is this all automatic ?
Yes. The script makes backups by itself, reboot your device for you (if you wish), and of course change permissions. But don't worry : it will ask your approval for any important process
- The 3G tweak makes my connection unstable !
The Manager is based on my 3G+ enhancement script, using "Full Mode". In the original script, there is also a "Lite Mode" for some networks (like AT&T) I included in v1.3.
To make your network stable, the script will disable the two lines below :
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1 (will be turned to 0)
ro.ril.enable.a53=1 (will be turned to 0)
To get full details about the 3G+ tweak, check the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951765
Why is there "so many" different batch files ?
It's easier for me to improve/maintain the batch by splitting it into different functions. There's a main script, and subroutines called when needed.
Of course, all the subroutines, including addons, are programmed to be run only from main script. You can run any subroutine separately, but it will mostly crash and create useless files not being deleted. Always run the main script, and do no try to run separately subroutine - not dangerous, but 100% useless/buggy.
- It's not working.
* Make sure your device is :
** ROOTED,
** Full external access to system (su command) [if not, will drop errors like "Operations not permitted" or "file system is mounted read only")
** USB Debugging is enabled,
** Connected using USB and all USB drivers are installed/working.
* You might need administrative privileges in Windows to fully run the program.
* If you're running your device from recovery, you may need to mount /system/ folder before running the script (Partition tools > Mount /system).
- It's still not working.
* Drop a message in the official thread.
* If you get errors about file system Read only, try to run your device in Recovery mode, and fix permissions.
- Will the script create lots of files/make a big drive footprint ?
I hate programs creating lots of temp files. So, the script was developped to create files AND to clean/remove them all once everything is done. Even if it crashes without removing files, you just need to restart the script - it will clean all previous temporary files.
If ADB is run, it WILL be fully closed once everything is done. Server will be killed, then ADB process (named adb.exe) will be killed. Your system will be as clean as it was before running the script.
The script is of course fully portable : there's no installation needed. You can put the script where you want, but you just need to keep all script files/folders in the same folder.
In a future release, I'll add something to purge the log file.
- Which OS is supported ?
It's developped in Windows 7 x64. You should be able to fully run it on any 2000+ Windows NT OS.
As it is NT script, it will work only on Windows computer. It will also not work properly on pure DOS (it's using NT commands and Windows-related commands not included in older Windows NT systems, like NT4).
Report if you tested it on other Microsoft OS (NT 4, Windows 95, 98 or 2000, Dos 6.22...)
- I wanna contribute.
Just right click the .cmd/bat files, edit them with Notepad or anything you want
You can also send me a message (thread or PM) if you notice some piece of code I can improve with other commands (I don't know DOS commands enough )
v1.0 (11/5/2011) = initial release

DETAILLED 3G Addon update :
- detects presence of previous installation and files
- Sed command : fastest detection and subtitute of lines
- Optimized for fastest operation and fully clean build.prop file
- Several stuff...
External SED support thanks to GNU Utilities for win32 @ http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
v1.7 (26/7/2011) = fixed no deletion of TEMP folder/files, fixed ADB command not found, new entries for XPlorer
Known bugs :
* (Main) Will not detect if build.prop.bak and build.prop.old are the same (not very important, I'll improve this later)
* Report anything you find

Developper/Advanced user addendum
(Write in progress)
Backup management
The script creates up to two backups, localed in main directory :
- build.prop.bak
- build.prop.old
Build.prop.old is generated if the script detects there's an existing build.prop.bak, to avoid accidental loss of it.
Build.prop.old is the final backup, and WILL BE DELETED if detected. The script manages backups like this :
1. If an existing build.prop.bak is present...
>> Script will detect for build.prop.old presence - if it exists, it will be deleted,
>> the build.prop.bak will be renamed to build.prop.old.
2. If there is no build.prop.bak detected...
>> Script will generate a build.prop.bak.
ADB Error detection
Error 2 (device not connected) works using a trick - it's not really related to device state.
In fact, the script will attempt to connect your device to download your build.prop. Once it is done - or not - the script checks if a local build.prop file was created. If it's not present, it means ADB encountered an error - about 90% because device is not connected - and will display error 2.
Keep in mind then there is small chance that your error does NOT come of device not connected : administrative privileges missing (don't allow the script to create the file), drivers buggy, ...)

Hi,
I cant use your WorkTool V1.6
It says ADB cmd not found.

v1.7 out, sorry for delay, I prepared it few days ago then I forgot to upload ^^

Really good work

Hey mate...
lovely piece of work..!
saved me hours at my work...
thanks a lot works flawlessly on
sony xperia tipo dual with cm 10

Ur da bomb
As you probably already know, you are DA BOMB, BABY!
I just [snicker] used your tool to save my rather idiotic...er, 'brain' from suffering through a dumb, hard night re-flashing SlimKat 4.4.2 back onto my LG Optimus G e970 just to fix something I should've never done to begin with (change screen density to make it easier to read, of course, but without really knowing what I was doing)...
aherm...well, anyway, here I sit at a pre-midnight hour thanking you profusely, sir, because, as I said at the start...
UR DA BOMB!!!
Here's hoping you get bored a lot more often...it's a keeper, fer sure.:victory:

Good work dude... Nice toolkit, loved it very much... I am integrating your tool into my new upcoming toolkit. Dont worry i am not gonna steal it, will just use it. Will surely give you proper credits for that

Does this work with the stock recovery without root?
My device: Xperia XA2

thanks for this useful helper. i know how to modify build.prop - thats not the reason why i came here. what i don't know is the meaning of all this different entries in build.prop for example ro.expect.recovery_id - which there was a catalog with information about included in a build.prop Tweak GUI

sorry but the program cant detect/ acces build.prop
my device is rooted, has debugging on and is connected via USB
plz help

Ran it last night. I like the gui for actually seeing folders. Anyway to make an .img without 4ext though. I'm trying to figure out how to flash a deodexed /system to my phone.

Actually I haven't implemented creating IMG files or flashing zip files. I'm trying to find a way to make it possible to create img files and flash zip files

Great job !
It would be nice to add the possibility to edit files permission

Actually you can change permissions, right click on any file / folder click properties and from there you will be able to change the permissions

Just sent, sorry, I wanted to do some research on my own as well.

I connect the phone to the computer run the program. But it is always waiting for the phone.
What should I do?
I connect in both MTP and USB Storage...

I turned on the USB Debugging and install .NET Framework 4.
Phone connected to program.
However, I edited build.prop. Saved it to the device. It said pushed to device. Reboot now?
I said "Yes". But nothing happened. Reboot myself. Check the build.prop and saw that nothing has changed.
What am I doing wrong??

[Tool] adBeast - CrossPlatform ADB utiltiy (Updated 3/6/13)

Finally, a crossplatform ADB utility.
adBeast (Pronounced: Aye dee beast) is a program I'm developing in java to help automate some of the thing that ADB can do,
some of these things include:
-open web pages on your device
-pull/push files
-send key presses
-port forwarding
-reboot
-boot into recovery
-mute phone
and you'll be able to do all these much easier.
this will be open source, and I'll release the source code after the final alpha build (lots of housekeeping to do)
This is the beta release so a few things may not work all the way...
-------
Using:
Download the Base file for your OS,
Linux users get: adBeast_Base_linux.tar.gz
Windows users get: adBeast_Base_Windows.zip
Mac users:{
(I don't have a mac, so I can't make you a script, sorry)
download the linux base, and copy replace the provided 'adb' file with
your adb file, if your adb file had an extension, like .app or .dmg
then edit os.txt to match the name of your file,
then run the script from within your terminal
}
_________
Updating:
----------------
Once a new version is released,
If you have the Base files already
then all you'll have to do, is download the updated jar file,
and replace your old 'adBeast.jar' with the new one.
____________
Source code:
-------------------
If you want to be ahead of the curve,
you can get the preview version source code,
it may have minor bug fixes, or new features,
that have not been included in the release version yet!
You'll have to compile it yourself though.
https://code.google.com/p/adbeast/source/browse/#svn/src
The source code for the current release is attached to this post.

Release notes:
change log:
March-6-2013

in progress
Done:
-cross-platform (support)

Dose anyone out there have a mac?
I need some one to get me the ADB executable,
And I may need them to test some scripts.

[TOOL][WINDOWS] Android Multitool

Android Multitool
Hello,
I´m glad to present my Android Multitool wich makes it easier to decompile/recompile applications + jar framework files. You can also sign your apk by easily clicking a button.
Requirements:
Winows OS XP / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10
Installed Java on Windows
Installed Microsoft Powerpacks
Installed .NET framework
- Easy handling: Select your apk and push the "decompile" button!
- This tool makes modding much faster and easier, no cmd handling any more.
- You can read the log which is integrated in the tool to find your mistake in the error.
- ADB inside: Push files into your file system with a few clicks
It looks like this so far:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to use this tool?
Follow this small how to!
Here you go..
Well, first extract the AndroidMultitool folder to C:\. Otherwise it probably won´t work
-copy your framework-res.apk in the Framework-Files folder and other files you want to mod in the "Files" folder (this folder is for all your files you want to mod, don't pick files from any other location)
-Next you have to start AndroidMultitool.exe
-select your framework-res.apk and push the "install" button (check log for errors)
Decompiling and recompiling apk files:
-select the apk you want to mod/decompile and push the "decompile" button (check log for errors)
Note: You can check the "use baksmali" checkbox, then e.g. the useless .line text will be removed
-your decompiled apk will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_apk"apkname" as a folder
-if you want to compile your apk again, select your decompiled folder, check the "apk" radio button and compile it again (check log for errors)
-your recompiled apk will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Compiled_apk"apkname"
Decompiling and recompiling jar files:
-select in the combobox ".jar" (check the "use baksmali" checkbox for deleting the useless .line comments)
-select the ".jar" file you want to mod
-push the "decompile" button
-your decompiled jar file will be locaten in C:\AndroidMultitool\Decompiled_jar"jarname"
-for recompiling you have to check the "jar" radiobutton and select the folder within your decompiled ".jar" file
-push the compile button
-your compiled jar file will be located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Compiled_jar"jarname"\classes.dex
-delete the "classes.dex" file in your ".jar" file
-copy the new "classes.dex" file you compiled in the ".jar" file
Signing apk files:
-select the ".apk" you want to sign
-push the "sign" button
-the signed apk file is located in C:\AndroidMultitool\Signed_apk"apkname_signed"
Using tags:
You want to decompile many files from different devices or different android versions / frameworks? Tagging makes it possible!
- before installing your framework type in any tag (like "hero")
- then install your framework and work normally
Android Debug Bridge
You want to push files with adb to your device? Follow these instructions:
Please klick on the "advanced" register in the tool
-push "check" to control if your device is ready
-if the device is not ready please follow the instructions, which are listed in the tool (device offline, no device...)
-if the device is ready, choose a file you want to push
-choose a path on the device, where the file should be placed later
-push the "push" Button
-alternately: press "Reboot device" to reboot your device and to let changes take effect
If there are any questions or bugs, please post them in the thread.

Enjoy easier apk handling!
Having issues with the program?
Try the batch version developed by @bovirus (it's also in the AndroidMultitool folder)
Questions and answers:
Q: The programm does not start, it crashes.
A: Please install Powerpacks, this one: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=145727&clcid=0x804
Q: What do you mean exactly with "!!!NOTE!!! After compiling you have to copy the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from your old apk to your newly compiled one!! Otherwise you´ll get bootloop! " .. I don't understand.
A: You have to open your old apk (this one you selected for decompiling in the folder /files) and copy from that apk the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder to the apk you just decompiled and recompiled.
Q: I followed all steps in the startpost but I'm still getting this error: "apktool is not recognized as internal or external command"
What can I do?
A: Please refer to this post by @LasVegasRomeo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51017662&postcount=681

v2.2 Beta1:
apktool 2.0.0
Details:
Details
v1.5.x -> v2.0.0
Java JRE 1.7 is required!
Update apktool to v2.0.0
aapt is now included inside the apktool binary. Its not required to maintain your own aapt install under $PATH. (However, features like -a / --aapt are still used and can override the internal aapt).
Remove framework $HOME/apktool/framework/1.apk or manually update via (FrameworkFiles)
Eagle eye users will notice resources are now decoded before sources now. This is because we need to know the API version via the manifest for decoding the sources.
Parameter Changes
Smali/baksmali 2.0 are included. This is a big change from 1.4.2. Please read the smali updates here for more information.
-o / --output is now used for the output of apk/directory.
-t / --tag is required for tagging framework files
-advance / --advanced will launch advance parameters and information on the usage output.
-m / --match-original is a new feature for apk analysis. This retains the apk is nearly original format, but will make rebuild more than likely not work due to ignoring the changes that newer aapt requires.
After [d]ecode, there will be new folders (original / unknown) in the decoded apk folder.
original/ = META-INF folder / AndroidManifest.xml, which are needed to retain the signature of APKs to prevent resigning. Used with -c / --copy-original on uild.
unknown/ = Files / folders that are not part of the standard AOSP build procedure. These files will be injected back into the rebuilt APK.
apktool.yml collects more information than before
SdkInfo = Used to re-populate the sdk information in AndroidManifest.xml since aapt requires it to be passed at runtime.
packageInfo = Used to help support Android 4.2 due to renamed manifest packages. Automatically detects difference between manifest and resources and performs automatic --rename-manifest-package on uild.
versionInfo = Used to re-populate the version information in the AndroidManifest.xml since aapt requires it to be passed at runtime.
compressionType = Used to determine the compression that resources.arsc had on the original apk to duplicate on uild.
unknownFiles = Used to record the name/location/compression type of non-standard files in Apk.
v2.1:
fixed freezes
bigger UI for better overview
option to save log to a text file
other small fixes
v2.0:
complete code rework
folder structure for a better overview
decompiled, recompiled, signed files will be located in their own folder
no more messy file handling
added radio buttons for choosing jar or apk
some graphical changes
added info button in the "installing framework" section
V1.2:
Added ability to decompile and recompile ".jar" files
Added baksmali
FolderBrowserDialog: If you push the "browse" button you are in the right directory now and needn't to scroll and search the "AndroidApktool" folder
other small fixes
V1.1:
Added ability to sign .apk
Changed comboboxes to browse buttons
bigger log - screen

Very nice tool!
One feature request, could you have a checkbox for say the -b command so that we can get rid of the useless .linexx and .prologue lines? That would make this tool perfect
Another feature is adding the twframework-res.apk as a framework file? Thats essential for modding samsung system apk's. I usually have to install both twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk before decompiling. Maybe adding 2 slots for the framework in the tool?
Thanks again!!

Good work bro....
Very nice..

Sure, adding a second slot will be no problem!
But I don't know what you mean with this checkbox, could you explain me exactly what you mean?

When I decompile using baksmali this is the command I run...
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -b -o c:/smali c:/smali/classes.dex
The -b command prompts baksmali to remove all .line type code from the smali.
Here is an example .smali file before and after the -b command...
BEFORE: http://pastebin.com/gYKQ90cW
AFTER: http://pastebin.com/17i8k1X2
This method of decompiling smali makes it much much simpler to compare to other code.
Thanks!! :highfive:

Cool. Cant wait
One more thing, will you be adding the ability to decompile more then one apk/jar?

At once? Would work, I think.
Two possibilities:
The first apk decompiles, and then the second one
Or: Both are decompiling at the same time, but in two different processes.

Hello, there can be a lot of things.
Maybe you are missing the .NET framework, or some dll´s.
I also uploaded a new .exe just for testing. New is the progressbar.

Could anybody test trying to install .NET Framework?
Hopefully I get a solution for this problem, otherwise I'll make an Installer.

@Flextrick
I have NET Framework 4.5, Java 7 Update 25 and Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 25.
Edit:
You've got a Private Message

Ok. For starting the Tool is no Java necessary.
I think the dll's are missing, hopefully I get it working as far as possible.

New Version Out! - 1.6
Juno utilizes the features of a program called APK – Tool, and pushes it to another level, the level of ease! Now even if you are not aware of what is required to create fully functioning system apps for your Rom or Device, you can still make some pretty basic mods with this tool, OR you can go pro and create some pretty awesome mods! (Well for that you will need to know how to edit smali files and other xml files of system apps properly)
With this tool you easily Pull system apps from your phones /system/app directory and start editing them. Once done you can easily build the modified version of the system app and can instantly install them to your phone!
(Please refer to the section How to use? Before doing anything idiotic.)
Once done you can also get cleared of all the residual files too with just one single command.
At last I want to state this with all caution – You are using this tool on your own risk! Any damage done to your device is completely your fault and I’m not to be blamed for any kind of damage done to your device.
​
Step - 1 : Setting Up your PC!
Download The following resources first:
Android SDK [ Draw-Patch.9 Tool ]
Java SE Run-time Environment 7 [ Java Dependencies For APK - Tool ]
Now let's begin setting up your PC,
Install the above mentioned programs.
Go to Advanced System Properties.
It looks like this:
Go to Environment Variables, then create a new System Variable, having name JAVA_HOME and value as the path where you have installed the JRE.
It looks like this:
Now after creating the JAVA_HOME variable, search for Path system variable in the System Variables list. Now this is a bit tricky. Once found click on it and then on Edit. Move the cursor to the end of the string till you see ";" (without quotes), add the path to your JRE bin folder just after it.
It looks like this:
OK, so if everything went fine and just as what instructed then you are all good to proceed to Step - 2!
Step - 2 : Installing Juno!
First download the zip provided at the download section of this post, then extract it and execute the Juno.[Current-Ver].exe (eg. Juno.1.1.exe) setup file.
It looks like this:
Now click Next. In the next window if you want to change the directory of the Juno then just press Browse and choose your custom directory. If done click Next.
It looks like this:
In the next windows just press Next, and let the program to be installed on your PC!
It looks like this:
In the preceding window click on Run Juno if you want to execute the program now or just press Finish.
It looks like this:
Step - 3 : Setup the Program!
Open the program, Juno, from start menu or from the directory itself.
Please open the program in Administrator mode, by right clicking and selecting Run As Administrator. This is necessary for ADB and APK - Tool to work properly.
Note: If you have installed the program in a Drive which is not protected by Administrator Rights, then you can skip running it as Administrator.
It looks like this:
Now first enable USB - Debugging in your phone and connect it via a USB - Cable to your PC [ If you have any doubt on how to do that please refer to screens below. ]

In the Juno program console enter the command LOADRESOURCES and press Enter. Then enter PULL and press Enter and sit back and relax till the program loads all the necessary Resource files from your device.
It looks like this:
The Juno program usually only pulls and installs the Resource files of CM based roms automatically and also for the Xperia Stock roms. So if you are using any of those then just skip the preceding steps.
But for other Roms or Phones the developers will need to extract the required resource files from their devices or roms. For that follow the preceding steps:
Extract the required Resource files in to the main directory of the program. This can be done by using PULL command of the program or by manually retrieving required files.
Then while in the program, enter LOADRESOURCES, and then enter CUSTOM.
Enter the File-Name of the Resource file you just copied to the main directory. (Only the file-name no extensions!) And press Enter.
Now let the program complete the process, if you see no errors then everything has been completed just fine.
Now repeat the same with all the other Resource files.
Need help?:
If all the above mentioned steps have been completed successfully, then your program copy is ready to be used!
​
From Version 1.3, the How to use guide will be included with the program,i.e, in the form of Read Me.
Copy the apps you want to mod in the pulled directory of the program, if you want to do that manually, but you can even pull apps from your device using PULL command.
But for lower functions please refer to the section below.
The following section is going to cover all the functions supported by this program.
Legend - Function-Name [ Function-Code ]
Just enter the Function-Code given for each defined function below in the program to start that function.
Load Resources [ LOADRESOURCES ]
This function will allow you to load the necessary resource files which are needed by the APK – Tool to decompile the required system apps.
The sub-functions which this section includes are –
PULL – This function is for pulling the required resources straight from your device. [Note: It will only efficiently work for CM based or Stock Xperia roms and for other roms please use the sub-function CUSTOM]
INSTALL – This function will install the resource files automatically which you have copied in the res directory of the program. [Note: It will only efficiently work for CM based or Stock Xperia roms and for other roms please use the sub-function CUSTOM]
CUSTOM – This function is to be used when you require to install extra resource files of your rom. You have to provide the file-name of the custom resource file which you have to copy or pull from your device to the root directory of the program. And it will be automatically installed.
Mod [ MOD ]
This function allows you to mod your system apps. You have to enter the file-name of the system app which you have copied to or pulled to the root directory of the program. The program will automatically decompile or compile depending on the fact that what has already been done.
If the app is not compiled, then the program will first make a backup of the system app [Note: Please do not delete the backup folder under any circumstances as it may lead to false build, which will damage your device!]
Then the program will decompile the app and it will be available for the user to mod it in the working directory of the program.
If the app is already decompiled then the program will compile the edited app (irrespective of the fact that it has been edited or not.) and will generate a complete build in the build directory of the program, which will be ready to install to your device, keeping in mind that no error has occurred.
Delete [ DELETE ]
This function is used to get rid of the residual files after your entire project has been completed.
This function will delete the working folder and the backup folder without prompting, whereas the Main app file and the Build app file deletion will be prompted.
You just have to enter the file-name of the app you want to get rid of, and rest will be handled by the program itself.
Pull [ PULL ]
This function is used to pull or get the system apps from your device. But for that your device must be connected in USB – Debugging Mode.
You just have to enter the file-name of the app you want to pull or get from your devices /system/app/ directory. The app will be stored in the root directory of the program.
Install [ INSTALL ]
This function will let you install the build app to your device. But for that your device must be connected in USB – Debugging Mode.
You have to enter the file-name of the app you want to install. The app must have to be built to be installed.
Restart of the device is mandatory right after you have installed the app.
Exit [ EXIT ]
This function will exit the program.
