It is a tool for reengineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps.
It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.
Setting up
1. Download the apktool archive from the link on the bottom of the post
2. When finished, extract the archive and move the apktool folder the the root of your SD card (sdcard/ place here)
3. Install the apk file
How to use it
1. If you want to mod your Systemui or framework-res just grab those files using a root explorer and place them in a new folder either on your internal or external SD card.
2. Go back to apktool and hold on the apk till a pop up menu appears.
3. Install framework first then you can proceed to decompiling
4. If you have finished doing your business, compile it back, delete the original apk and rename the modded apk to the original one.
