Hi,
I really want to edit an app as a joke for my friends and i have downloaded the APK and viewed the files.
All of the images seem to be .TEX format, i have googled how to edit them but cant find a solution.
How can i edit them and put my own image in?
Thanks in advance,
You need to decompile the apk, edit the images (using the same filenames) and recompile again.

hey all, i was just wondering if anyone knew how to extract some files from an apk?
specifically, i like riptide gp's background music and was wondering if anyone knew how to extract those music files from the apk or something. let me know! thanks!
I already tried opening the apk on both my computer and NT and couldn't find any music files anywhere... starting to think its not possible, but it can't be because in order for a game to have music its gotta have music files somewhere in the installation file just like any other game on any platform...
Just to get the most basic question out of the way, so sorry if I seem pedantic, but did you just change the extension of the .apk to .zip or did you use APKTool to unpack the .apk?

i've already tried extracting the apk by conventional means, aka using winrar to extract the contents, but no luck in finding any files resembling that of a music file type. i've also tried apktool but after decompiling the apk, i couldn't find any music files either...
after decompiling through apktool i just saw a lot of .smali files. there was one files called base.apf but not sure how to decompile that....
Check out apktool to extract apks. I've used it on system files to open them up and edit what's inside.

I cant decompile properly using apk manager, when trying to decompile a launcher, i only get smalis files, but none xml like androidmanifiest or all drawables files. And then i cant edit anything, its rare because decompile other files like systemui and others i get the the res and smali files. And then i dont understand whats happening?
Im using Apk Manager 4.9
Sorry for my english.
Hi,
I have an apk that I'd like to edit, just some simple icon and xml changes. I have decompiled, edited and signed with apktool so I'm confident everything there is ok. Only problem is, it won't install.
The apk does have a odex file with it. Is it possible to edit this apk or am I wasting my time?

if it is system file than place it in system/app
and set permissions and reboot
Does that include the original odex file or should I just dump it after I've edited the apk?

it work only if you have deodex it
Hello, I am running into the same problem. I want to change a setting in an apk. But I'm confused with the odex file accompanied with it.
Can I unpack an apk, change it. Rebuild it and put it back?
Do I also have to unpack the odex file and rebuild it and put it back?
I can see a lot of information about apk editing. But I can't find tools to edit an Odex?
I think I'm also confused about the odex/deodex. I just googled everything about this subject and got the tools studioandroid, but it doesn't contain anything with editing odex files....
I hope someone can help me out!
Thanks!!
When I decompile an Apk, I saw the files with the .pack extension. I searched about it and found the file is pack200 (I think).
In your opinion, How do I create this file?
I used the jdk but not work.
they locate in assets\image folder and they are texture of apk.
I posted the question here
Then I move the answer to the original topic
no idea?
My laptop's not working, I had the necessary tools to decompile recompile apk and stuff.
However, I need some help in editing an apk, I have this YoWhatsApp apk, I was wondering if anyone can help me in changing the
