how would you actually go about cracking open an apk file and editing it?
im on mac os x with eclipse and android sdk installed.
what next?
just open it as a zip file. apk's are basically zip files in disguise. you can drag out and edit whatyou like, put them back in. and use an autosign tool to sign it.
its very simple =]
There is no autosign tool that works for Mac OS X as far as I know. (I also have an OS X machine.) Here is a tutorial about signing APKs for OSX:

imakamasta is right about just renaming apk files to zip files and messing around with them from there, BUT you will often want/need to edit the dex file (usually classes.dex) to get what you want. For this, you will need baksmali and smali:

I warn you in advance that working with smali files is a PITA at first. It's hard to find what you want in there. Also, when you want to use smali to reassemble your dex files with smali, you will probably need a PC. I haven't been able to get smali working on my Mac yet. (Let me know if you are successful!)
thanks for the links, i'm lookin at em right now.
as far as the windows only stuff... im running vmware with xp on it, so hopefully it'll work that way (it works for the splash boot image converter) so i'll let you know what's up
Can someone point me to how to do this properly in Linux? Ubuntu, specifically. I'm trying to work on themes, and if I do as little as simply unzip framework-res.apk, rezip its contents and sign it and push it with adb, I end up with permission problems and force closes upon restart.

Yeah, I'm running Parallels with a WinXP image to use smali. It works. But what I'm hoping is that someone figures out how to run smali without a PC (or PC emulator). baksmali works fine on OSX without a PC or PC emulator.

I have gotten smali to work on my Mac. Try with the latest version, it fixes the Java 6 dependency so it should work on Macs now.

Probably yes, Not sure though.
Set your phone to Airplane mode and connect it to Zune on your PC.
You can download either off zune or the phone .

Hi all !
For all devices unlocked with ChevronWP7 Unlocker , we’re can easy install custom ringtones or applications .XAP format via Application Deployment , but everytimes need open start menu –> Application Deployment then browser .xap to tool for install take too much times and almost make some in us crazy
That why i decided to write Tom XAP installer , basicly Tom XAP installer and Application Deployment are the same ( Alow install custom .xap to device and emulator windows phone 7 ) But Tom XAP installer a lot convenience , it’s alow you install .xap with double click to file or simple just right click –> install xap
How to :
Download exe and put it somewhere in PC, run it , it will automatic add registry path of application and add menu , icon to .XAP files.
go to this link for download

So it's not made for WP7 man, you have to make sure it's mentioned before download.
all applications related to wp7 is .xap, and not .cab!!!!
but if you are sure that this is a game for wp7 and it's not a .cab file
try the following:
change the extension of the file to .xap,or if it's a several files so open a .xap file of what ever.
open it with winrar, and empty the xap file from its' continent and add your files of the game in it. rename the new xap file with the game name!!!!

Need help ...i want to run native exe file on wp8.1 full unlock ...???exe file can run in Samsung wp8 using samtools ...but not working in Lumia ???why???
Hi guys, is it possible to decompile an app installed from Windows Phone Store?
I'm using a Huawei W1-U00 rooted, running WP 8.1 and i'm able to access the file system and see the data from a .XAP app that I installed (with WP SDK), but i can't access the data from an app installed from Windows Store.
Thanks.
.xap files is just zip files, but it's encrypted - you need a extractor, it will not work in normal .zip extractor eg. 7-Zip or WinRAR. It contains .exe and .dll files. Extract it, and you can use ILSpy or similiar tool for .NET applications or disassembler for C/C++ applications to decompile .dll and .exe files.
Hey there. Is there any way to open .ffu files on Windows 10 PC ... IMGmount doesnt work.
I just want to extract some files. :good:
Cmon.....!:silly:
ImgMount works for me on windows 10
Windows 10 home edition, cant open imgmount.
WP Internals
You can create a custom rom with the .ffu file - (open, edit and flash)
If you Enable Root Access by the interface, you can't update the phone. But you can enable root manually.
