ApkChanger

ApkChanger is a command-line software application whose purpose is to help you modify APK files which are used for installing programs or games on the Android operating system.

All of the program’s features can be tested in the command-line console. Some less experienced users may be scared off because they have to deal with command-line parameters but this is really not the case with ApkChanger.

The program includes a built-in wizard which guides you throughout the entire configuration process. Advanced users may skip this step and configure the settings on their own.

You can opt for decompiling APK files, decompiling APK items with dependencies for proprietary ROM APKs or compiling APK files.

When you run the utility for the first time, the tool displays the configuration wizard. The best part about the configuration process is that it’s saved so you don’t need to set up the parameters each time you run the program.

ApkChanger gives you the possibility to select the compression level, enter the cache size, pick the optimization level, optimize PNG files, enter the heap size, choose between different versions of the Apktool, enter the IP address and port for Wi-Fi connections, delete unnecessary files, alter the text color, and choose the signature key type (test, platform, shared or media).

What’s more, you are allowed to enable or disable notifications, install framework files, enter the number of cores that you want to use (from one up to 4), as well as use the bruteforce mode in order to try different frameworks if the app can’t decompile the APK file with the default framework.

The program lets you open the log directly from the command-line console in order to view information about the entire process, select the current application, decompile/compile JAR files, sign all APKs in a batch mode, and zipalign all APK files.

ApkChanger integrates a handy suite of features and makes the configuration process in the command-line console easier for rookies with the aid of its built-in wizard.
