AUAX APK EDITOR

Usage

Run the apk_editor.py file and add the flag -h to get help.

python3 apk_editor.py [-h] -i APK input path -instr *Input string* -outstr Output string
[-o [target]] [-apt [apktool path]] [-aps [apktool path]]
[-w [overwrite]]

Arguments:

Command	Description	Required
-i	APK input path.	Yes
-instr	Input string will be replaced with the output string in the Strings.xml file. Recommended to set this to the app name	Yes
-outstr	The output string will replace the input string in the Strings.xml file.	Yes
-o	APK output path. (Final signed APK).	No
-apt	The path to the Apktool JAR file. (Included under the ./libs folder). If you don't specify the argument, the program will try to find the file in the ./lib folder.	No
-aps	The path to the Apksigner JAR file. (Included under the ./libs folder). If you don't specify the argument, the program will try to find the file in the ./lib folder.	No
-w	Overwrite files if necessary.	No

Example:

python3 apk_editor.py -i apkpure.apk --instr APKPure --outstr Auax -o new.apk -w 

Will locate the APK apkpure.apk (in the same folder), and replace the string APKPure (app name) for the new string Auax. Then it will sign the APK and save it with the name new.apk.

Todo

1. Fix the rename_package method. (Disabled because sometimes there's trouble trying to sign the APK).
2. Improve the renaming methodology.
3. Add new functionality. You can suggest anything through my email or GitHub.
