[Dev Tools] How to create mods

[OMJ]

I'm gonna add this to the OP for assembling/disassembling .jar files.

smali - An assembler/disassembler for Android's dex format - Google Project Hosting


Using Smali/Baksmali, I will use framework.jar as the example:

-open deodexed framework.jar w/ 7zip, extract classes.dex

-copy classes.dex to your Baksmali folder

-decompile classes.dex (java -jar baksmali.jar classes.dex)

-make your smali changes in the Out folder

-copy out folder to Smali dir

-compile classes.dex (java -jar smali.jar -o classes.dex out/)

-copy the new classes.dex to framework.jar
