  Description     : tool for reverse engineering Android apk files


A tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. 
It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after 
making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by 
step. Also it makes working with an app easier because of project-like 
file structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building 
apk, etc.

It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used 
for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms, 
analyzing applications and much more.

Features

* Disassembling resources to nearly original form (including 
  resources.arsc, classes.dex, 9.png. and XMLs)
* Rebuilding decoded resources back to binary APK/JAR
* Organizing and handling APKs that depend on framework resources
* Smali Debugging
* Helping with repetitive tasks
