APK Files, RAR files ...

[GKCS]

Hi all,

you ever wanted to see, what's inside an APK container?
you ever wanted to modify an APK container?

There are many different suggestions out, how to decompile, modify and recompile an existing APK file....

But the most easy is, an APK file is nothing more than a renamed RAR archive.

So, either just drag your APK file onto your WinRAR,
or rename your APK into RAR and just open it normal with a double click ...

Then browse the archive, extract files, modify them, do whatever you want...

But neither mess up the internal folder structure nor change any file name, otherwise your apk file may became corrupt ...

Have fun

GKCS

An APK file is actually a Zip file (same as Jar files). Note that the purpose of the sign key is to make sure that the APK was not modified after it was signed.
