[GUIDE] Apktool|Signapk: Inside & Out

[curtis1973]

For some reason I can't get apktool to work on widows! Is there a guide for dummies ( Ian serious) thanks

you need the java runtime environment installed. ypu may have java already and still can't get it to function. update java and it should operate ok. i had that problem.

ok ran into an issue after compiling my first test signed apk. i get application not installed.


i took Gallery3D.apk out of iho just as a test and decompiled it properly,then just changed two items. background that the gallery uses and the icon of the application. then recompiled and signed it. all appeared to work well. then i tried to install to see if the changes worked. but the application would not install. any ideas?

[edit] just to be more specific. i edited the icon and background image in photoshop and saved out. the images saved correctly as they were still the same format,color depth,etc. but thats all i can think it would be. that the images didnt actually save correctly.

a good debugging method is to connect your phone to your computer and run a logcat. Then while the logcat is going, try installing the apk and the logcat will tell you why it didn't install.

If that is a system app, you cant install it just push it to /system/apps.
