I want to enable an app to start at boot by editing the AndroidManifest.apk in Eclipse.
My question is how to uncompress the .apk first from its garbled state from the app, or can it be done in Eclipse?
I'm an Eclipse virgin so please be gentle with me!
you can use apktool to decompile an apk and then recompile it.

Hi, i'm trying to add new language to my rom but when i recompile framework-res.apk i get boot loop.
when i recompile framework-res.apk to my HTC Desire its working good but on my Desire HD not,
please help, thanks.
BTW i'm using apk manager 4.9
1. Did you use a stock framework-res - if you compile modded framework, apktool will not compile most of the time
2. Did you replace another language folder in values or did you ADD the folder?
I'm having trouble trying to recompile my XML edits, when I compile my APK by APK Manager, it doesn't compile the XML into a binary. Whereas its unreadable to humans, is there a tool I'm missing to try and compile the XML?

I would suggest:
- go to apk manager thread
- describe you prob
- name "what" u decompile/compile
- attach a logcat

Are you using the S5 framework and twframework-res? Or perhaps you have an out of date decompiler. Did you copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from your the old apk to the recompiled apk? It's hard to guess at the problem since you didn't give us crucial details on what tool versions and steps you used or exact error messages you saw. There are a number of threads on the subject, so do a search to see what is working for others.
Hey,
I have been trying to edit an apk using the apktool but I can' recompile (java) error even though I have java + jdk installed.
Could someone here try to recompile my folder?

hello i am a newbie on android development and i am just trying to decompile an apk file.i have done it all correct using apk tool and when i am trying to decompile the apk file via command prompt it doesn't dissapear the folder with the name of apk which encluding the resource files.any ideas???
Dont show log, so i could not help.
But when you compile it, selected signed or unsigned apk. For debug, unsigned apk is okay. With signed apk, searching for how to make progruard-rules, how to config it. Then everything will work.
