[Android General] robrazil:
Thank for any help.

Well... I created a /apktools folder on my Desktop area and paste there the files:

- aapt.exe

- apktool.bat

- apktool.jar

- whatsappv2.12.399.apk

I ran the "cmd" and typed java -jar apktool.jar d -s whatsappv2.12.399.apk and the whatsappv2.12.399 folder was created without any problem.

After I typed java -jar apktool.jar b whatsappv2.12.399 and the lines below appeared:

I followed the steps based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RafyK_mQxA

But the /dist folder wasn't created.

Where I went wrong ?? :(

About GBwhatsapp, I decompile the whatsapp-v2.12.361 wich GBwhastapp is based but in the /lib folder exist only the /armeabi-v7a subfolder containing 4 files:

- libcurve25519.so

- libresample.so

- libvlc.so

- libwhatsapp.so

On the GBwhatsapp exist the same /lib/armeabi-v7a subfolder with the same 4 files with the same sizes.

So, I copie the whatsapp /lib/armeabi-v7a subfolder, pasted on GBwhatsapp /lib folder rewriting the Gbwhatsapp /lib/armeabi-v7a subfolder, used the zipsigner app to sign the new file but when tried install it the message "The app is not installed".

The whatsapp v2.12.361 installs normally on Android 2.3.6 but the GBwhatsapp, that is based on the same version of whatsapp, not installs.
