[Q] Mail.apk Mobileprint.apk & Camera.apk

[Q] Mail.apk Mobileprint.apk & Camera.apk - Galaxy Tab General

Has anyone had any success deodexing these three files on a Verizon Tab? Every other apk deodexed just fine but I can't get these three done at all.
If anyone has had any success would you please post them for me, or let me know what dependencies you had to manually add in.
Thanks!

When I used xUltimate to deodex files from my Motorola I1 several files failed to deodex. I deodexed them manually by running (in a command prompt) for each one something akin to the following line:
java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar -c :am.jar:android.awt.jar:android.motorola.videoplayer.jar:...etc. -x Camera.odex
I included as dependencies(the jar list after the "-c") every jar that was in /system/framework(I copied all the deodexed framework jars to my working directory, as well). For each odex file this created an "out" folder. I used smali to compile this out folder into a classes.dex, which I then inserted into the corresponding apk file.
Good luck

Deodex:
Code:
java -Xmx512m -jar /usr/bin/baksmali-1.2.2.jar -d ./framework -x services.odex -o services.odex-new
Extract services.jar with unzip tool.
Create a classes.dex from the services.odex-new directory:
Code:
java -Xmx512m -jar /usr/bin/smali-1.2.2.jar services.odex-new/ -o ./classes.dex
Put the classes.dex into the root dir of the extracted services.jar and zip it up. Rename it to .jar. Sign it. Good to go.

I think he wants the other direction.
Basically, you can use dexopt-wrapper to generate the odex file again. I assume that you have an odex ROM, which is a big problem, because if you change one ODEX file you need to rebuild them all (they rely on the "signatures" of others).
You should try to find a deodexed ROM and apply your change there, because working with the odex files is a lot of work.
Btw, If you really want to change the odex file, and running the dexopt-wrapper is not too complicated for you, there is a work around for the odex signatures problem - let me know if you are interested.

That is not true, as long as you're not touching the framework.
Well, in this particular case, since this IS framework (services), he DOES need to do it.
You can try an express method:
cd /system/framework
for x in *.jar;do dexopt-wrapper "$x" /sdcard/"$x".odex;done
Mount your sdcard and copy over your odex'; remember to strip the .jar with sed from the filename.

thanks for all your help, guys!
I just noticed that there's no attachment uploaded
This is a file I extracted from an deodex Rom. I am trying to apply it in an odex rom to change the color of the front on the status-bar.Don't know if it works, but I just wanna try it.
I am really a newbie here haha, and these codes makes me Crazy~
So... wish you can odex it for me! thanks!
I really have to study some basic knowledge about java and linux.

Maybe odex/classes.dex is the problem too,which I posted
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716506
why some apps don`t work
But for Deodex,I found this:

I get a error message that reads no odex file found. what's up with that

[Q] Modifying Stock Keyboard

Hey all,
I was wondering whats the process to modify the stock multi-touch keyboard for the Droid 2? I was able to do it with the multi-touch keyboard that Punk.Kaos ported to the Eris, using some Windows batch files for extracting the apk source, compiling, signing, etc. I just can't remember for the life of me what that little program was called. Any ideas?
Thanks!

it would be nice since the space bar is soooo small i keep pressing . instead of space 70% of the times

Alright, I was able to get the program I was thinking of, it is called APK Manager. But the keyboard is a odex file... Which I don't know how to extract the XML files from... Yet.

I'd de-odex before you try to extract. It will be a lot easier. There's the method I used here.

What exactly is de-odex'ing? How will it affect my phone?

Deodexing just means that all of the stray .odex files will be put back into the correct .apk files this is done mostly for theme purposes in order to edit the services.jar file which has to be de-odexed before it can be edited. It won't corrupt anything if you do it right nothing should change on the outside the phone devs leave the .odex files out for loading reasons but nothing significant should change but you might experience a slightly slower boot up process but like I said nothing significant. Most ROM's now are de-odexed though.

So I deodexed my phone so I could work on the LatinIME.apk package. Using the APK-Manager for Linux, I was able to (0) pull the APK from my phone. Then I (9) decompiled the APK, edited the XML files as I wanted.
Now, from here I'm not entirely sure which direction to take. I tried running (13) Compile APK / Sign APK / Install APK, but I got an error saying something on how the signatures didn't match up. Then I tried running (3) ZIP APK (5) Zipalign APK then (8) ADB push, but now I don't even have the keyboard on my phone anymore.
How can I go about doing the correct way to compile my modified code and install it on my phone?
Here are the options I can do, if you're not familiar with APK Manager:
Code:
------------------Simple Tasks Such As Image Editing----------------------
0 Adb pull
1 Extract apk
2 Optimize images inside (Only if "Extract Apk" was selected)
3 Zip apk
4 Sign apk (Dont do this if its a system apk)
5 Zipalign apk (Do once apk is created/signed)
6 Install apk (Dont do this if system apk, do adb push)
7 Zip / Sign / Install apk (All in one step)
8 Adb push (Only for system apk)
-----------------Advanced Tasks Such As Code Editing-----------------------
9 Decompile apk
10 Compile apk
11 Sign apk
12 Install apk
13 Compile apk / Sign apk / Install apk (All in one step)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 Batch Optimize Apk (inside place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize only)
15 Sign an apk (inside place-apk-here-for-signing folder only)
16 Batch optimize ogg files (inside place-ogg-here only)
17 Quit

Anyone? I would love to get my stock keyboard back!

Hey Guys,
This is a small tutorial for those who want to Deodex a Single Application manually.
Deodex And Odex:
The APKs or JARs of Android contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.It will make your faster theoretically even though it would be too small to notice.When deodexing the .odex file is changed to classes.dex file. Deodexing also allows us to theme and install mods.Many of the Stock Roms and CyanogenMod 7 roms are now odexed and to theme them or to add mods we need to have it deodexed. So lets learn how!!
Deodexing:
Preparation:
Hope you have Java Development Kit installed on your computer to run the scripts.Get it from: here.Select you OS from the list and download the suitable package.(We would need the full thing and not the Demo versions.)
Download the Attached .zip File
Extract its Contents to a Folder.(Extracting to a New Folder in the Desktop is Preferred for Ease)
We will name this Folder with the Extracted Contents as Deodex(or any name that you like)
Procedure And Explanations:
First of all copy the Application file that you need to Deodex.A Android Application file is the .apk file found in the system/app directory.Copy the .apk file and the .odex file of the application that you want to Deodex and paste in the Deodex folder(Folder to which the attachment's contents was extracted)
Now go to your system/framework directory and you can see a lot of .jar and .odex files in this folder and copy all its contents to the folder to which the attachment's contents was extracted.
Before doing anything more backup your rom and the application file(If anything goes wrong you can use it then)
To Deodex a application you need to specify its "BOOTCLASSPATH" files. BOOTCLASSPATH are files that contain the classes for an application or in simple language BOOTCLASSPATH files are those files that are required by a android application to run properly. They are actually those files that we have copied from the system/framework directory to our Deodex folder. There are mainly 5 BOOTCLASSPATH files for every android rom.They are: android.policy.jar , core.jar , bouncycastle.jar , ext.jar , framework.jar
All apps are dependent on these files but some apps are dependent on some other BOOTCLASSPATH files.So sometimes the problem is that we actually dont know to which of these files is a particular app dependent to.So we will have to specify all the BOOTCLASSPATH files or the .jar files in the system/framework directory.So problem solved!! Now enough with the theory class,lets proceed to the practical classes!!!!!
Open Command Prompt.
As an example we will Deodex Settings.apk
Type in this command in Command Prompt:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali.jar -c :am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:
com.android.location.provider.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:sonyericsson.suquashi.jar:
core.jar:corej-unit.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:java.awt.jar:javax.obex.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:
:services.jar:sqlite-jdbc.jar:svc.jar -x Settings.odex
Here:
-Xmx says the heap memory needed.In the above command it is given to 1024m. Sometimes deodexing may have errors due to the low heap memory.So set it to 1024m itself.
-jar baksmali.jar says the program to run baksmali.jar file.
-c says that the following files are the BOOTCLASSPATH files of the application we are deodexing.
-x says the name of the application that we are deodexing.It should end with .odex extension.
Note:
When you specify the .jar files just add all those .jar file names in the system/framework folder(only add the .jar files and not the .odex files).Ensure that you have added the .jar extension at the end of each file. Separate the .jar files with colon " : " symbol.
If you have made no spelling errors and have done everything mentioned you will get a folder named "out".
Now we have to smali the out folder into classes.dex file.
So again type in the Command Prompt:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
Here:
-o says what the output file should me named to.Dont rename the classes.dex file into anything else.
Now you will have a file in our Deodex folder(Folder to which the attachment's contents was extracted) called "classes.dex".
Finalizing:
Now open the application's .apk file(which you were trying to deodex) with WinRar.
Move the classes.dex file that you got to this .apk file.(Just drag and drop it to the .apk file opened with WinRar.)
Now you will have a deodexed .apk file.
Note: After deodexing you will have to delete the .odex file of the particular application which you had deodexed.
I will make a guide to Odex back a Deodexed application soon!
Hope this guide helps you....
For any doubts or questions please post it here in this forum and I will try to attend to it.........

follow the highlighted lines and try again and deodexing takes time according to your computer's ram.so be patient.if you still cant do it then just upload the system=>framework folder and the app you want to deodex and its odex file and Private Message me the links. I will check whats the problem.

this can be found in the android sources site but it not so easy to understand for beginners so i made it a little easier to understand and i didnt refer that guide because all is clearly written in the android sources site.

i understood why some of you are making mistakes when trying to deodex a apk or jar file.
its because you are copying exactly the same bootclasspath files that i specified in the guide.
it varies depending on your device and your rom. So I have made some changes in my guide.some lines are highlighted in red.
follow those lines.

Specify your device and rom that you use. Are you sure that you followed what i told itself? Try it once more as I have made some more changes in the guide to help you guys.
Still if you cant do it then just copy your framework folder and the apk and .odex file that you want to deodex and pm me. I will try to deodex it.

no fotak we dont need to deodex settings.apk. We only need to deodex the .odex file but we will have to keep the apk file also in the same folder.

Did you import "framework-res.apk" and "twframework-res.apk"?
If yes then are you using the same framework from the same rom of the "settings.apk" or your using settings.apk of other rom?

your first screenshot shows that you have not placed framework-res.apk in the location your command prompt is at
in other words you did not place framework-res.apk in the location c:\new folder
just as a tip - when working with dos prompt - never put a space in folder or file names - it doesnt like it

I dont understand what you are doing with importing the framework
just do this
create a folder called apktool in the root of c: - in other words create a folder apktool so its location is c:\apktool
place framework-res.apk from the rom zip along with the apk you wish to decompile - in this case settings.apk in the folder apktool you have just created
open a command prompt as admin
type the following
cd c:\apktool
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d settings.apk settingsdecompiled

well done you have decompiled settings.apk to a folder called settings
make sure you use notepad++ to edit any xml files (different from windows notepad)
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.3.html
to recompile just type
apktool b settings newsettings.apk
and it will recompile the folder to an apk called newsettings.apk (assuming no errors have been made in modding files)
you can then rename this apk back to settings.apk and sign it if required (if you have edited the androidmanifest you need to sign the apk) - you can use zipsigner from the playstore to sign apks if you need to - use a testkey for non system apps and a platform key for system apps

Edit the SystemUI_ZTE.apk?

I want to edit the SystemUI_ZKE.apk, but when I use "APK Editor Pro" for instance the apk crashes after a reboot.
What would be the right way to do this? My goal is to delete the charging.ogg file that wakes my wife as I plugin a charger when I go to bed
Any other solution to *that* problem is welcome too.

You need to use apktool on Windows or Linux instead: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/. You'll need Java already installed.
Your device also needs to be rooted and have TWRP recovery installed.
Put the apktool.jar and wrapper script in the system directory (C:\Windows on Windows)
Pull frameworks and SystemUI from your device with
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/framework-zte-res.apk
adb pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/SystemUI_ZTE.apk
Install frameworks to your computer:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if framework-zte-res.apk
Decompile SystemUI_ZTE.apk:
Code:
apktool d SystemUI_ZTE.apk
Make whatever changes you want to make then recompile with:
Code:
apktool b SystemUI_ZTE
Use signapk.jar to sign the apk then put the apk into a flashable zip and flash to your device in TWRP.
If you want to make changes to smali you'll need to pull the SystemUI_ZTE odex file and deodex the apk with oat2dex and then use 7-zip or WinRAR to paste the classes.dex file into the apk before decompiling.

Gr8 tutorial. I'll try that tomorrow, hope I get it fixed. Thank you!

Hi,
*
Earlier I tried with APK Editor Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.heagoo.apkeditor.pro)
What happened was (after replacing the SystemUI_ZTE.apk with the modified APK) after a reboot the system booted with parts of the UI nog working. Navigationkeys didn't work except for the home button, and I had no status bar at all. After rebooting again it only showed my wallpaper, and no matter what I did it wouldn't show me anything else. So I had to restore.
*
Modifying the APK with the APKTool gave me the exact same result. Only thing i did differently as to bkores guide was I signed it using ZipSigner (but that never failed me before) and I just replaced the file using TWRP, instead of flashing it through an installer zip. But I can't imagine that being the problem?
*
Anyways, anybody able to modify the SystemUI_ZTE.apk? All I need is the B06 (A2017G) with a replaced charging.ogg (with only silence).*Any tips are welcome.

Hi,
*
Earlier I tried with APK Editor Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.heagoo.apkeditor.pro)
What happened was (after replacing the SystemUI_ZTE.apk with the modified APK) after a reboot the system booted with parts of the UI nog working. Navigationkeys didn't work except for the home button, and I had no status bar at all. After rebooting again it only showed my wallpaper, and no matter what I did it wouldn't show me anything else. So I had to restore.
*
Modifying the APK with the APKTool gave me the exact same result. Only thing i did differently as to bkores guide was I signed it using ZipSigner (but that never failed me before) and I just replaced the file using TWRP, instead of flashing it through an installer zip. But I can't imagine that being the problem?
*
Anyways, anybody able to modify the SystemUI_ZTE.apk? All I need is the B06 (A2017G) with a replaced charging.ogg (with only silence).*Any tips are welcome.
*
TIA,

Try copying META-INF folder from old apk to new apk. If that doesn't work try copying resources.arsc from new apk to old apk and flash the old apk. Don't sign

Can it have anything to do with the .odex file?
I'll try the meta-inf thingy and see if that works

Actually try this instead. I think the apk needs to be deodexed before it can be modified like you said.
Pull the odex file
Code:
adb pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/oat/arm64/SystemUI.odex
Get smali folder from the odex file with oat2dex.jar here: https://github.com/testwhat/SmaliEx/releases/tag/snapshot
Open command window in directory of odex file
Code:
java -jar oat2dex.jar smali SystemUI.odex
Decompile the apk and then copy and paste the smali folder into the directory of the decompiled apk.
Make your charging.ogg change and then recompile the apk. Copy and paste the META-INF from original apk to new apk.
Push apk to your device and delete the "oat" folder in the SystemUI_ZTE folder on your device.

Hi,
Thank you for your support so far, but that didn't work out eighter....

Assuming you made a typo (since there is no SystemUI.odex) I used this instead:
Code:
adb pull /system/priv-app/SystemUI_ZTE/oat/arm64/SystemUI_ZTE.odex

After the oat2dex command I don't have a smali folder, just 5434 smali files scattered over serveral folders, so I don't know how to proceed from there.

Well then create a folder called smali in the directory of decompiled apk and paste the folders into smali

Can someone help me, i want to change framework.jar but there is no classes.dex in jar nor framework.odex in /system/framework/oat/arm64 (also arm). Because of it i can't decompile it with smali/baksmali tool. I want to change volume steps in AudioService exactly what VolumeSteps+ do but without Xposed. Any help? I'm on Nougat B10 Rom.

Perhaps this can help a bit : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/themes/a2017-volume-steps-enabler-call-media-t3745747
If you want a decompiled framework, I can send you. Just pm me.
If you want I'll implement your mods and recompile again. Up to you to test

I solved a problem, AudioService is not in framework.jar anymore, it's on services.jar. Check my post on your mentioned thread.
