IMPORTANT :- My imbox is overflowing with PMs, please keep sending them but understand that I won't be able to reply immediately.
We all know FlappyBird that super irritating bird crashing into every obstacle it sees. Since FlappyDoge was released I am sure some of you decompiled that apk and snooped around a bit. I made this thread for the less advance users who haven't had the guts to do that! Think how cool it would be to show your friends your version of Flappy____ that has your face on it!
I've created some elements in Photoshop ( and attached the psd's ) so that you find editing the game even easier.
Here is an example I quickly did ( Really quickly ) :
Tutorial:
1. Decompile:
First off download the original FlappyBird Here
Then decompile it with this tutorial
Code:
C:\[B]Path to apktool[/B]>apktool d "Original FlappyBird.apk" workspace
2. Graphics:
Now we get to the actual modding, download my zip here. In there is a font folder, open that up and install the font.
Unzip then navigate to assets/gfx - This folder contains most of the Graphic elements of FlappyBird. ( The birds, Buttons, Score etc. )
In there is two files, a psd and png, open the atlas.psd in Photoshop and edit away, I categorized the parts already. Note:- If you don't have Photoshop, you can edit the png, it will be a little bit harder though.
Copy the "atlas.png" to the assets/gfx of the decompiled apk.
3. Splash:
In my Zip, navigate to drawable - Once again there is a psd and png file, edit as you like.
Copy the "splash.png" to /res/drawable of the decompiled apk.
4. Icon:
The folders: drawable-640dpi ; drawable-mdpi ; drawable-xhdpi ; drawable-xxhdpi contains different sizes of icons.
Edit them as you like, again there is psds and pngs. - You can easily change the color gradient in Photoshop!
Copy all the ic_launcher.png files to their corresponding folders in the decompiled apps /res directory.
5. App Name and Others:
In my Zip, navigate to /values in there is a strings.xml open it with your choice of advanced text editor ( e.g. Notepad++ ).
To change the app name, edit the following line:
Code:
<string name="app_name">Flappy Pulse</string>
Then copy the strings.xml to the decompiled apk's /res/values/ folder.
6. Recompile & Sign:
Again recompile using My guide.
Code:
C:\[B]Path to apktool[/B]>apktool b workspace Flappy[B]Example[/B].apk
Remember to sign your app otherwise it wont' install! - I always use Zipsigner
________________________________
That should do it! Hope you learned some things and had fun, enjoy raging at your own personalized Flappy_____
Thanks to @holabola for indirectly giving me the idea.
Reserved to showcase some Flappybird mods, mention me @PulseDroid if you want your mod here. Also feel free to request any mods.
NOTE:- Do NOT request a mod that removes the ads, that is seen as warez.
u can also do this without decompiling but then u wont change title of app

Yip, but whats a mod without changing the name
Also, the PSD's are remakes of the icon backgrounds and such so its' a bit easier.
Awesome job Glad to finally see a tutorial up. I think I may make a thread when I get home to host everyone's mods. Would anyone be interested in that?

Yes, in the smali there is entries referring to the ogg sound files, use normal mp3 files and refer to them in the smali.

If you don't have Photoshop you can use Krita or GIMP. They can open most PSD files perfectly and they are both free
Anyway thanks for the file, I think it is easier to edit

I myself use Gimp 2.8 with a Photoshop CS6 theme, Photoshop shortcuts, Single-Window mode and the Photoshop Plugin Installer. With all of that it is far superior to Photoshop in terms of usefulness and size.
I'm working on a mod now. @PulseDroid do you mind if we put up the modified .apk files here?
EDIT: Lol, I completely forgot about the second post.
This is interesting, kinda seems like cheating

*Batch Rename
By implementing these features,this would an complete tool dealing anything related to apk..."One tool to rule them all"

So, do I just copy that file, and place it in the same directory for the app that I want it to build?
Basically, what I've done is decompiled an app, edited a few text files within it (I couldn't get edits to stick simply within root browser) and now I want to build the app. The instructions say to just drag & drop the path into the manager and click "Start Building."
But with, or without the framework-res.apk from the phone, it just says "Smaling" for about ten seconds, then runs more script and closes before I can read any of it. But nothing shows up in the result folder...
Themers on XDA face a huge problem when it comes to paid apks. They can't theme apks and distribute their work since that would be considered warez.
Since we - the moderators - spend a lot of time closing threads where someone accidentially published such a theme, Forum Moderator Whiskey103 came up with an idea.
What if the themer doesn't distribute the entire apk, but only his themed parts? This would be totally allowed on XDA.
So Whiskey asked me if I can come up with a solution to this problem. And today we announce RTI - The remote theme injector!
Note: while this project is intended for paid apks, it still works with free apks too of course. This app might help you migrating themes to a new version of the apks too.
RTI basically consists of two parts:
The patcher (or themer)
And the editor which is needed to create themes
Patcher
This is a little windows app which takes the target apk and a theme file (more on that later) and automatically injects the theme into the desired apk.
Todo this, the apk gets decompiled, patched, recompiled, signed and zipaligned. All this happens automatically and requires no input from the user (which is in this case the user who wants to USE the theme)
The user has to provide the target apk on his own, this ensures no apks are distributed as part of the theme.
It can be pulled via ADB or Rootexplorer from the phone for example.
Editor
The first app was for applying a theme, the editor is for creating such themes.
It's a simple wizard style app which guides the themer through the required steps to create a theme file.
Each theme file contains not only the actually themed files but also its own version of apktool to ensure maximum compatibility and a set of settings specifically for the target apk
The settings include:
Package name of the target apk
Version number of the target apk
Which sign method to use (keep old signature, sign with a default key, sign with own key)
Whether the apk gets zipaligned or not
The workflow for the user is very easy:
Download theme (it contains the patcher and the theme file (or even multiple themes)
Fetch target apk from phone and copy it in the same directory as the patcher
Start patcher and wait until it's done
Install themed apk on device
The workflow for the themer isn't much harder:
Theme your apk just as you are used to it
provide TWO folders to the Editor, both folders need to contain the decompiled output of apktool
The first folder contains the unthemed, decompiled apk, the second one contains the themed and decompiled apk
Set the required settings in the editor and wait until generating the theme is done
Provide the user a download which contains the patcher and your created theme file

Changelog
2.12.1.5665
Added support for smali modification for advanced themes
Some bug fixes and UI improvements
1.9.5.191
Important: This version brings some breaking changes, so please do not mix an old rti file with the new patcher. It won't work. You have to recreate your theme files if you want to use the new patcher.
Changed signing options. Removed java jarsign and added signapk.jar instead. This has a far better compatibility and doesn't require an installed Visual C++ runtime.
Possible signing options now:
Use 'test keys': Use a pre defined set of keys from me to sign the apk
Use 'own keys': you have to provide your own set of keys (key.pk8 and certificate.pem) to sign the apk
Keep old signature: NOT recommend, this has a few use cases, but usually won't work. Use one of the other two options if you are not sure.
Improved error detection on the folder selection page. It can tell you some common errors now if you make them.

My dog for keeping me happy
I will write a guide here, for now just screenshots and a little explanation on how to use the "Patcher"
We will do our best to answer the questions about how to use and all that
Basically i came up with the idea because of the fact we have to delete a lot of themed paid apps.
Thats not nice since i know there is much time spend on it.
So now we have a solution for all the themed Swype apk,s etc etc
I really felt sorry sometimes after i had to remove some masterpiece because it was "warez"
If we start to use this, its all fine
BIG Thanks to Diamond who really liked the project from the beginning, without him this wasn't even possible.
He really was enthusiast from the moment i contacted him till where we are now.
Once again, thanks Diamond
The patcher:
You have to download a patcher theme (XDA Premium App example) my thread for screenshots
Extract that folder and grab the installed apk from your phone with Rootexplorer or ES File Explorer.
Place that apk in the extracted theme folder and run the RemoteThemeInjector.exe
In this case the RTI (Remote Theme Injector) will give you a list since i placed two themes in one folder. Just make your choice.
The patcher will do his job and spit out a Themed APK.
Copy that Themed APK to your phone (SD-Card) and install it after you removed your previous installed version of the App.
Once the apk is installed , goto menu / more / settings / Display Style / and select XDA Free.
The Editor

If you want I can also add you to the "example themes" section in the OP.
Is this just creating bsdiff patches or something similar? Or is it more tantamount to resource hacking?

Thanks for your help guys!
Tab pngs in framework-res and twframework-res .. you should be aware on how to edit .9.pngs.
If I am not mistaken you need to:
1. Decompile your app.
2. Edit your .9.png with gimp or photoshop.
3. Use the .9.png editor that came with android sdk to verify your changes.
4. Recompile your app.
5. Test and repeat if necessary.
Correct me if I am wrong.

The fcs are coming from wrongly made .9 pngs.Like i said before,dont touch the dark lines and dots which determine the content and stretchable area.Cut of the part which you want to modify,make modifications and merge it with the surrounding lines again.Like bumslayer said,you can use draw9patch tool from sdk.But that's an extremely time consuming process.It'll let you convert any png to .9 patch png but only one at a time.
Here's what I use: xUltimate-D9PC
This one "compiles" the .9.png files. All you have to do now is drag them to the res/drawable-ldpi folder of the apk without even decompiling the app with apktool. Easy, no?
And yes, you can thank me now (credits to the original poster, of course).
So hell_lock, bro. Did xUltimate-d9pc work for you?

- Now navigate to /system/framework -> Tap on framework-res.apk -> Select 'import as framework' (This will be imported as framework 1)
-Tap on SemcGenericResUxp.apk and again select 'import as framework' (This will be imported as framework 2)
The tool extracts the app to the folder wherever the app is! So please do not extract any app directly through /system folder! :good:
ENJOY THE REST!
Good Luck! :good:
Nice thread mate. :good:

Thanks for your feedback @AndroidNoob69 . And, I think even i had got an error about it. But did you tried recompiling it again? (Maybe with making some changes)
@Rajeev bro , do you get errors like these?

This is not the full apktool and @cpkunki is not the maker of the app. As mentioned, this app does not decompile and compile properly as it is missing sony framework tables.

You should install framework related apps then recompile ...
But i think there isn't anyway to do it !
Thanks for the share was looking for it

I am so sorry @Chocklety Boyee , but as @AndroidNoob69 said, I have not created this app or I do not know how to debug things because I am still a learner on XDA.
I asked one of my friend, (A Samsung user) he said try putting the app in the /system folder and decompile it.
I did that before posting this thread. Yes it got decompiled, but the problem was that I couldn't delete the folder where the app was decompiled, only its contents got deleted.
Try doing the same, but please make a backup before doing so :fingers-crossed:. Don't blame me .
And do tell me the results.
..
@abo hani, glad you liked it.

For that you can use any all in one File manager like this one
Or if you just want an XML editor, you can search on play store,
you will get these:
Axel (XML Editor / Viewer)
XML Editor
And so on..

The apk is not working after edit with xml editer
I encourage you guys not to use apktool on phones. It is and is never the full version. It is missing framework files and there is no way you can install them.

Wait bro!
Did you follow the instructions correctly?
Especially this one - Open the App, Navigate to the folder you have extracted the zip, long press it and select set as apktool data folder ?
And also, this IS working on phones like Xperia Z. Because @Rajeev bro was able to add his own Banner, 'Developer Name' in About Phone in Settings!
And also, the main developer is not mad to create such a project in Google code and on GitHub. :silly:
I used this app in ma mobile.. I already told u that i created 3 mods using this app.. One is Rom name under About Phone setting, second one is full transparent caller screen and third one is systemui transparency...
