Hello.
Sorry if this is not an appropriate post in this forum.
I have been trying to decompile the whatsapp apk however I am not in possesion of a computer and I have not been able to decompile it with my phone nor with any of the online services available. I would very much appreciate it if somebody could decompile it for me to java code, with jadx or whatever decompiler you prefer. Here is a link to the apk: db.tt/EnFIGCZq
Thank you!

Hello,
Im kind of new to developing for android....
But I did a bit of developing on blackberry in the previous years...
Ive been working on some soft buttons. I designed some buttons in a different thread that work great. But I wanted to edit my SystemUI.apk myself (navagation_bar.xml) so that I could edit a search soft key and the order of the soft key buttons myself....
I can't for the life of me, get this thing to decompile. If you open the navagation_bar.xml from within the SystemUI.apk (even in notepad ++), you get a bunch of random characters. I am assuming this is because I have to actually decompile the SystemUI.apk first.
- so I have downloaded apktools,
- I have it all setup correctly following the instructions for decompiling posted here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1836-guide-how-to-decompile-an-apk-updated-w-guide/
I used the framework-res.apk of the rom that I am currently using (Android Rev 2.1.2)
And then I place the SystemUI.apk in the folder to be modded, and go ahead and run the script, try an decompile it. And every single time I try it says "an error occurred, please check the log"
I check the log and nothing there makes any sense to me....
It just says an error occurred in "main" multiple resources....
and then it lists a whole bunch of (unkown source)
Super frustrated here, because I have found some coding and studied some coding and I know how to edit the navigation_bar.xml to my likings.... but I cant get the damn SystemUI.apk to decompile....
Can someone please help me here?
and ideas on what might be going wrong?
Thanks a lot
Replace the files in the "other" folder with these.

The guide you are using will only work for samsung phones running touchwhiz. You'll need to use the framework specific to the ROM you are working on.
You should be able to find all the necessary info in Brut.all's thread, although Ill admit it did take me a little while to get it all figured out myself.
[UTIL][08.12.11] Apktool v1.4.3 - a tool for reengineering apk files
Hey,
I'm really desperate for help
If someone has a Framework-res.apk Edited and without the NAVIGATION BAR
It would really help.
my cell: galaxy nexus, 4.0.3, Open Kang 21
I was awake all night trying to remove the navigation bar on GALAXY NEXUS.
I searched every possible forum for a month and found no mods on that subject.
I found only a short guide that shows how to edit the FRAMEWORK-RES.APK
But after editing it, I could not RECOMPILE it.
I used APKTOOL
Maybe I'm missing something here (for the first time I was dealing with these files)
1. I copied the folder framework-res.apk
2. apktool if framework-res.apk
3. apktool d framework-res.apk
4. I edited in a word within a file folder and kept
5. apktool b framework-res
it did not build the file again and showed me "invalid resource directory name:" for many paths
Any ideas?
do I need to do something more before recompiling it?
if someone has already the Edited file or Mod in this topic it would help a lot!
Thank you.

Go to the themes section in the stickies there is a theme guide by dreamsforgotten the best theme guide youll ever find....i have yet to read the part on xml editing otherwise id help you but i know it consists of the JDK java dev kit and the SDK for android and apktool to decompile and recompile the framework-res.apk. have fun hope this helps.
What's the problem?? I'm following the steps step by step and its always telling cannot find sources what I'm doing is
Opening a cmd on apktool folder
Type
Apktool if framework-res.apk(works normal)
Apk tool d framework-res.apk frameworkres(extracts the folder but doesn't show all lines like in the tutorial)
Then i edit some photos in drawable-hdpi
Apktool b frameworkres framework1.apk
Then it tells me it can't find sources
And types about 50 lines of errors
What should I do??
I followed tutorials exactly what they did and didn't work with me
Please help

Hi!
I have not found any answers from Google so I'm going to post it here and those who can answer Thank You!
I can't recompile some apps that is secured or something like that..
I have modified Dolphin browser Beta's xml files to support Flash player on Jelly Bean but I can't make .xml files to human unreadable like how them are in the app packages.
Code:
/res/xml/webcontent_prefences.xml
default value from ON-DEMaND to true
deleted: dolphin:entries="@array/pref_plugin_state_choices" dolphin:entryValues="@array/pref_plugin_state_values"
/res/xml/browser_prefences.xml
added: <mobi.mgeek.preference.FlashPlayerPreference dolphin:key="plugin_state" dolphin:title="@string/pref_content_plugins" dolphin:defaultValue="true" dolphin:background="@drawable/settings_bg_middle_bk" />
Please help me if you know how to do that..
I have tried to compile another apk with those files but then it will fail compiling the APK and I have no idea what to do and how to do!
hmmmm... i am not programmer that makes applications , but as far as i know , XML files in APK is only for layout or resources , am i correct ?
if you wanna make your browser support flash , seems it doesn't have anything to do with XML files.
and usually , shouldn't you decompile the APK files first , and then modify , and recompile after all ???
in any case , it should be APK/XML human unreadable files ----(decompile)---> human readable and modify ---(recompile)---> unreadable again.
I'm not exactly sure what the command is but I believe aapt (from the Android SDK) is your best bet. Either that or something like APKTool or FJ-APKTools so that you can just 'decompile' it and replace whatever files you need (human-readable XML that is) and then repackage/'compile' it all up again.

I have used APKtool and FJ-APKtools and no luck with those, so that's why I need to do it manually somehow..
I read from internet that somehow can do something to .xml file via aapt but I don't think it could be able to convert the .xml to human unreadable .xml
