Advanced utilities for APK and JAR patching.

---

dynamic_apktool

Dynamically decompiles or recompiles APKs/JARs with enhanced options.

Flag	Description
-decompile (-d)	APK or JAR to decompile
-recompile (-r)	Folder to recompile
-framework (-f) FILE	Framework-res.apk to use
-add (-a) PATH	Folders/files to add to result (multiple allowed)
-command (-c) OPT	Extra apktool.jar options
-output (-o) DEST	Full path to results
-sign (-s)	Sign the result (recompile)
-zipalign (-z)	Zipalign the result (recompile)
-preserve-signature (-ps)	Keep original META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml (recompile)
-no-api	Disable automatic device API specification
-no-extras	Disable original resource checking/adding (decompile)
-use-baksmali FILE	Use external baksmali.jar (DEXed) (decompile)
-use-smali FILE	Use external smali.jar (DEXed) (recompile)

# Decompile with added folder
dynamic_apktool -decompile "Test.apk" -o "/sdcard/Test" -add "/sdcard/folder"

# Decompile with custom baksmali and no extras
dynamic_apktool -no-extras -use-baksmali "$TMP/custom.jar" -decompile "Test.apk" -o "/sdcard/Test" -add "/sdcard/folder"

# Recompile with additions, signing, and zipalign
dynamic_apktool -recompile "/sdcard/Test" -add "/sdcard/testfolder" -add "/sdcard/Test/original/META-INF" -add "/sdcard/test.txt" -zipalign -sign

note

It does not decompile or recompile resources (res/) by default, only .dex (smali). This guarantees errors prevention in most cases.

smali_kit

Manipulates smali files for advanced APK editing.

Flag	Description
-dir (-d) FOLDER	Path to find .smali files
-name (-n) PATTERN	Pattern for .smali file names (Multiple allowed)
-file (-f) FILE	Specific .smali file to edit
-method (-m) NAME	Pattern for method name to find
-replace (-r) CODE	Replace entire method with new code
-replace-in-method (-rim) OLD NEW	Replace OLD string with NEW in method
-delete-in-method (-dim) TEXT	Remove TEXT from method
-remake (-re) CODE	Replace method’s internal content
-after-line (-al) LINE TEXT	Add TEXT after LINE in method
-before-line (-bl) LINE TEXT	Add TEXT before LINE in method
-limit (-l) N	Limit number of results
-check (-c)	Report modified files or no changes
-delete-method (-dm)	Remove entire method
-print-path (-pp)	Print paths of .smali files found

REPLACE="
.method public static isTima()Z
    .locals 1
    const/4 v0, 0x1
    return v0
.end method
"
REMAKE="
    .locals 1
    const/4 v0, 0x4
    return v0
"

# Replace in specific file
smali_kit -check -method "isTima" -file "/sdcard/file.smali" -replace "$REPLACE"

# Search for a .smali by NAME
smali_kit -check -method "isTima" -dir "FOLDER" -name "NAME.smali" -replace "$REPLACE"

# Search for a .smali by PARTIAL NAME
# It is not necessary to know the exact name, just a PART
smali_kit -method "isTima" -d "FOLDER" -name "PART*" -replace "$REPLACE"
smali_kit -method "isTima" -d "FOLDER" -name "*PART*" -remake "$REMAKE"

# This may be more accurate
# Although the name is partial, the file extension should be .smali
smali_kit -method "isTima" -d "FOLDER" -name "PART*.smali" -delete-method

# Search for .smali files with multiple possible NAMES or PARTIAL NAMES
smali_kit -method "isTima" -d "FOLDER" -name "NAME.smali" -name "PART*.smali" -name "*PART2*.smali" -delete-method

# Replace string in method
smali_kit -method "isTima" -dir "FOLDER" -name "NAME.smali" -replace-in-method "const/4 v0, 0x1" "const/4 v0, 0x0"

# Remake method content
smali_kit -method "isTima" -d "FOLDER" -name "NAME.smali" -remake "$REMAKE"

# Simply get the paths of the .smali files that contain a valid method
found_paths=$(smali_kit -print-path -method "isTima" -d "FOLDER" -name "NAME.smali")

info

If you don't specify -name when specifying a directory (-dir), all files in the directory will be read to search for the method. This is much slower than filtering the search with multiple full or partial file names.

note

Only Search and reconstruction of Smali Code is ensured with basic principles, an analysis of the new code at the syntax level is not carried out.
