It's planned but have no time to work with it yet. I need to move all string to a file which will take very long time.

Please don't edit/modify the program even personal use only. I don't like it and this is ZERO tolerance! i'll take action immediately if caught

There is no fees and no need to pay lol

I assume you are using older version of APK Easy Tool. In 1.54, I make a clear message that you should go to Option and select version of apktool and it automatically switch tab to Option after clicking OK

See image below where to select apktool version

Hmm I can't give you excat answer because there are millions of Android devices with different hardwares and it really depending how your app/game is written, and when i'm not an Android developer, i can't really help you, you should do research around the web about it

I'm making the ebay Unofficial Hungarian language translation for a long time.

I tried old apk tool, other ..

Do you want someone to figure out what the problem is? Attached to apk file

Thank you very much in advance

eBay-5.25.1.2.apk
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ibuprophen:
I took a look at this version of the app and that i had obtained from the following link (i can't stand zippy share website personally).

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ebay-...2-release/ebay-5-25-1-2-android-apk-download/

I had noticed that this app has Dependencies Within the META-INF Directory.

What happened to you was that when you had recompiled and signed the app, it removed removed those Dependencies upon it being signed.

This is one of the DRM Security Features that's being used for other apps as well.

This is not an issue with the APK Easy Tool software but, an Apktool capability that hasn't been completely caught up with by iBotPeaches.

The only thing that I can think of that may or may not work is for you to use the "Keep Original Signature" option selected for this app.

This sometimes works in this case and, if it doesn't work, you may be out of luck with this app (at least for the time being).

There's also a new release of the eBay app that came out earlier today.

Thanks for the quick response

I downloaded the latest version

I tried Decompile and then compile, but there is a problem like the previous release. Exits app.

I tried to mark "Keep original sig." square and so on Compile, but after that you can not install the app!

Application is not installed error!

I'm sending a log

This log is "Keep original sig." It is made after 4 errors, only I do not understand what the error is.

When "Keep original sig." Is not selected then there is no error: W: fakeLogOpen(/dev/log_stats) failed

The default path for the "Logs" directory is located on the following path...

%userprofile%\documents\APK Easy Tool\

... Just select the keyboard combination of the "Windows" Key first then the "R" key for the Run Dialog Box to open.

Then just paste the exact directory path as stated above and then press the Enter key (or the OK Option).

https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1890

This issue has been confirmed by and still being looked into by iBotPeaches. It is apparent that this is not an easy/quick fix based on the work involved.

Until iBotPeaches has found a resolution/fix for this, you may need to put this one aside.

evildog1, could you tell me please is there a way to get source code of APK Easy Tool?

Or if it's not possible could you please tell me what tool/command/function calls the button "Full APK Information" on the Main tab?

Let me explain the problem. I need to investigate a miracle: your tool somehow with this button show information about:

even if there is no such info at the manifest file (i checked that with special HEX editor). So I'm too wondering how it get that info? What function do it use to retrieve that?

Thank you!

P.S. I have a guess "Full APK Information" button calls aapt.exe and then customize the output from aapt. Am I right?

UPD. I was right! After selecting an APK the aapt.exe process is created:

C:\Program Files\APK Easy Tool\Resources\aapt.exe" dump badging "C:\Test\Test.apk

And the button "Full APK Information" shows the result of that command. But how the hell aapt get that info then:

???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evildog1:
It's gets that info from apktool.yml. Decompile APK, open yml with Notepad++ and see "sdkInfo:"

I planned to Open Source it long time ago but I didn't cause I don't think it's a good idea, bootleggers will make fake tools very easly.

Hi, sorry for late reply.

I'm not familar with Framework sadly

What I can tell you is to try clear framework on Farmework tab and delete 1.apk from temp folder (Press Window button + R, type %temp%) and decompile framework again to get the clear codes

Then you can try recompile after you're done with your work

I'm not sure if you need other apk installed to work with Framework or not. Sony firmware/ROM require like 3 framework apks in order to modify system apps as far as I know. Maybe ask help on a forum section of your device model, or ask friends, developers, whatever you like to :)

Config issue with versions > V1.5.2

Hi,

The latest working version for me was V1.5.2 !

Since you've moved config from registry to xml, this tool doesn't work

Config.xml is created with the right values but APK Easy Tool seems to always start using default setup.

It asks everytime for "Do you want APK Easy Tool to setup following work directories?", windows position always reset to its default coordonates, I'm using apktool V2.3.2 but it still show V2.3.4...

When exiting the tool I seeing an exception about config.xml beeing used by another process

My OS is Windows 10 build 1809, in French

Any idea ?

Hi [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION], this was not exactely the same issue.

I found a workaround to fix it, issue was occurring because I was using another apktool version (V2.3.2)

So, I've simply replaced the default apktool_2.3.4.jar file whith apktool_2.3.2.jar and rename it to 2.3.4 and everything run like a charm !

Christophe
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ibuprophen:
I'm happy to see that you had worked it out but, you had done it the long way...

You really don't have to rename the Apktool files in such a way because the Apktool software is setup where you can have more than one of the Apktool files within the directory and simply select which of the Apktool versions you want the software to use within the software itself.

The following image will help you to understand this feature better.

View attachment 4707186

Either way will work. I would just find that your way could potentially confuse the Apktool versions.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daniel_m:
Hi everyone. After having modified several APKs, I noticed that a few increase in size after compiling. Actually, just decompiling and compiling alone will inflate these APKs. E.g. Greed Corp is increasing from 45 MB to 77.6 MB. I noticed that not all files inside the APK are packed. For some reason, some files are merely stored, which causes the increase in size.

Trying to fix this, I extracted and zipped the APK, which gave me the previous 45 MB again. Unfortunately, the re-zipped APK won't install. Package manager reports the package as corrupted. Any other operation like signing or zipaligning makes the APK installable again, but also inflates the size once more to 77.6 MB.

Since Greed Corp is a paid app, you can try with Badland 1. Although e.g. re-signing the APK only increases its size by 10 MB.

Am I missing something here?
