Decompiling Android APPs using APKTool

This tutorial helps decompile applications so you may translate or change the applications. This is used for the MIUI application, as the main ROM is Chinese.

NOTE: This is not for illegal purposes.

Recompiling (Part 4)

Now lets return back to our command prompt window. The command this time is

apktool b MIUIStats

(b means build, and MIUIStats is the name of the folder of our decompiled APK)

This will begin to pull all your changes from the modified files and re-build it back into an APK. The output should look similar to below.

Your modified unsigned APK is now in the /MIUIStats/dist/ folder. Depending if it is a system app or regular app you may have to sign it differently, but that will be for a different tutorial. I hope this helped learning how to translate and modify APKs.
