how do i deoxed single apks?

iv been looking but cant figure it out, no one gives instructions on how to use there deodex tools

Download AvaboxV2 Here
Unzip the download somewhere, open up the 'De-odexer' and view the readme.
I think you just put the apk and odex file inside the "de-odexer" folder and double-click the ''deodexall.bat" or "deall.bat", something along those lines.
Can't check right now since I'm on my phone

i down loaded an used but its not creating a Classes.dex

AvaboxV2 won't do that, it will take both the APPNAME.apk & APPNAME.odex files and make it into a single de-odexed APPNAME.apk
If you want the classes.dex file check out smali tools I believe that should do it for you. It may decompile as out.dex, if it does just rename it back to classes.dex
Edit: instructions for it are HERE

I think apk manager will let you deodex files as well.... I think....

if it does i have never seen it

i thought when u de-odexed a file that it created a classes dex. im still having problemswith all methods mentioned

attach the apk and the odex files in a zip so I can download them. when I have time I'll see if I can get the classes.dex file for you and let you know what I did to get it

[Q] How to sign Blur system apps

i have modificate blurphone.apk ( just a png file) and after this steps (Link) I have no network and fc.
Somebody can help me? I have read a lot of things about how to sign and modificate apps but nothing yet about Motorola blur system apps.
Thx

If you are modifying simple png picture then you can do it without decompiling and compiling, just extract with 7zip and modify them and install it back via flashable zip.
Did you tried to put the apk without signing ?

What apk is it?
Some .apk's just will not install. I had an apk that compiled 1MB smaller, without change. Its not a perfect system.

Name is not important, but original file size is 1,376 MB
and compiled file size now is 1,372 MB
Where is 4KB?

Well I only asked the name incase it was one I myself had issues with or someone else had.
Now I just think you're doing something suspicious by answering.like that
4KB not as bad as 1MB. But you're still losing size which will be why it won't install.
Can't help any more than that I'm afraid. Except to say I have seen the issue before and never resolved it
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Suspicious
I tried more apk without sucess..beacause I dont tell a name.
Actual apk is BeoGSP-6.apk and there I lost 18KB...
I dont understand this compiler!?
Is there any another compiler with more working chance?
Can I export resource to Eclipse and make apk from here?

There is also APK manager. its pretty similar as far as I can tell.

There's APK Manager or APK Multi Tool which I use and both do the job quite well. I need APK Multi to decompile ICS or newer APK's and I use APK Manager 4.9 to decompile the APK's from the oxygen ROM.
If it decompiles and recompiles without errors then the only thing you might need to do is sign the APK. It won't install if it's a non-system APK and you haven't signed it.
APK Manager 4.9 option 16 signs the APK's so I just use that and if there're no errors it will sign and install fine.

Thanx! Works with APK Manager. This is a great thing!
I signed apk and now work

How do I completely change the icons in the Samsung Galaxy young GT-S5360

Dear brothers :
I installed a custom ROM for my phone samsung Galaxy young GT-S5360
Dedicated Roman Information :
ROM Name:
Hyperion - Titan of the East
Build number:
Hyperion.DXLF2
I did not like the icons
How do I change the entire Icons
You experience a number of applications such as :
ICON CHANGER PRO
Did not do any good
Mentioned application does change the icons and put a shortcut on the desktop
I do not want this
I want to change application icons on the home screen
How so .?

Decompile the application you want to change the icon of with apk tool
You can see what the icon name is in the Android manifest
The icon itself will be located in res/drawable-ldpi
An easier way might be to download an icon pack (search the theme section)
Then open the Flashable zip & find the app name you are looking for - open that folder & put the image you want in there replacing the image in the folder (rename your image to match the one you are replacing)
Then flash it in cwm with system mounted

download that icon pack
open it with winrar or any other unzipper
goto the unpack folder
in there you will find a list of folders that relate to the applications - eg Calendar
open the res folder and replace the image in there with the one you want making sure your image has the same file name as the one you are replacing
once done delete any folders to apps you dont want to replace
flash the zip in cwm with system mounted

you will need to be rooted
you can unzip the zip with any unzipper and rezip once done
you then flash the zip in cwm with system mounted
the rom will need to be de-odexed

I'm guessing you didn't mount system before flashing the zip
Remember you also need to be rooted & most likely need to be deodexed (most custom roms are already)

Read all my previous posts - I can't make it clear other than to say root - mount system in cwm - then flash zip
Change what ever images you want inside the zip keeping file names the same
If you can't understand - I'm sorry I cannot help you

Choosing an app to open something always chooses to be default

Hi,
I just updated my SGS5 (G900F) to android 6.0.1 and I encountered a problem when ever I have the screen to choose an app in order to complete the action, I mean that screen when you can choose to "use this app only once" or "use as default".
Now I don't get to choose, I can only tap on the app that I want and it automatically chooses that app to be the default.
If I want to change it to the other app I can't because I couldn't find how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

First Install Root Explorer APP
download from google or install from playstore
You will require root to access system files
if you have root
then open root explorer and locate to

Put the jar file in

Then run batch apktool press 06 to decompile jar
You will find decompile jar in input jar folder itself
Now
Make changes to jar by using notepad++
Save
Now press 07 in apktool
Recompiled jar will be in output jar folder
" Make sure " sign out put file is turned off " or else press 89 "
Now put the recompiled jar into input apk folder
And in apktool
press 4 to sign the jar
Now the signed jar will be in output apk
Now push the jar manually using root explorer or make a flashable zip
Good luck

I can't thank you enough, I did as you said and reached the step where I need to to find those symlinks (btw: I have no idea what they are or where to get a META-INF folder :cyclops
During the execution it encountered an error, here:
I don't know if it's ok or not because at the end when the log opened I saw that the files were deodexed without any errors:
Is it safe to continue?
