[Android Software Development] raziel23x:
I am currently working on a major update to the apk manager application as well and changing the name to APK Multi-Tool with some new added features and also to fix some issues with some code errors.

I am also changing a lot of the features as well since a lot of the code has been outdated for a while.

I have compiled the latest Version of APKTOOL which is 1.4.2 snapshot

Updates done so far in this new upcoming release

Updated APKTOOL to the latest snapshot

I have downloaded the latest changes to the source and compiled the latest Version of APKTOOL which is 1.4.2 snapshot

Updated Android SDK TOOLS

I have updates all the android tools to the latest Version from the android SDK revision 13

Included tools:

zipalign

adb

aapt

Updated Sox

Downloaded the latest Source and compiled to update Sox

Replaced roptipng v0.6.3 with optipng v0.6.5

I have removed roptipng v0.6.3 and replaced it with the latest Version of optipng v0.6.5 which I freshly compiled from source as roptipng was just v0.6.3 and there has been some major bug fixes to optipng

Roptipng is bloated with no compression when compiled also the modifications made to optipng that the original Arthur of roptipng are pointless as all they do is add directory recursion, which is redundant.

If you are interested in recursion, use this with the original optipng:

for FILE in `find . | grep "\.png"`; do optipng "$FILE"; done

If you want to do it in windonkey , something like this

for /r %FILE in "*.png" do optipng "%FILE"

(note: reason for it being shorter in donkey mode is that the "for" command is a

*LOT* weaker -- it can only search through the filesystem whereas the unix command iterates through anything you throw at it, therefore we need the extra command to go out and do the search).

New Added Features done so far in this new upcoming release

New Section to the command line

Batch Theme Image Transfer TOOL

Batch Theme Zipalign APK TOOL

Batch Theme optipng TOOL

These tools allow you to update/port your favorite theme pack from any rom to your Current Rom In use.

(Note: You do not have to worry about signing the apk files using this method as it is automated with the transfer Function)

Batch Theme Image Transfer TOOL

This tool makes the process of transferring images from one APK to another APK File of the same file making it easier to update themes or even transferring a theme update.zip of one ROM to another Rom allowing the porting of theme to be much faster.

(Note: You will have to manually replace the progress_horizontals.xml from the framework-res since this file is needed with Theme Changes)

Batch Theme Zipalign APK TOOL

This tool makes it easier to Zipalign all the apk files in your newly ported/updated theme pack.

Batch Theme optipng TOOL

This tool optimizes all the images in all of the apk files for the toolset to allow you to be able improve compression of the images.

TO DO LIST

Add new feature to Randomly Generate a new Key File for signing the apk files after modifying and recompiling of the apk files this will also allow of uploading to the android market as this added feature will allow you to sign apk files that you may of compiled without signing beforehand.

Modify the Signapk script to be compatible with the Randomly Generation feature in the works

and a few other added features are in the works as I am redesigning the application and rewriting a lot of the code to fix issues as well as some of the new features have broken parts as some features have been moved and broken some command line prompts.
