How to use the FTG APKTOOL -- BETA!!

##Required##
Must have Java 8 or above installed
Must have python 3 installed

## Must Do ##
Place the files in the zip the same place as the apk you are decompiling
so it must be like this

some_folder
_tools , _FTG_APKTOOL.py , some_app.apk

If the paths are no to your liking and you know what your doing feel free to change them in the py

## How to ##
If you have your own keystore?
place the keystore in the _tools/keystore folder then edit the py and edit the keystore items within the py

Dont want to use the regular debug android key?
follow this guide
https://headjack.io/tutorial/create-android-keystore-file/


## Run the py ##
in windows - double click and choose python.exe
in linux - you should already know lol

follow the prompts in the menu

## after you run the decompile ##

some_folder
_tools , _FTG_APKTOOL.py , some_app.apk, some_app-decompiled <-- this will be your working folder-

## after you run decompile to java ##
## THIS WILL ALWAYS HAVE ERRORS ##
#AND NO YOU CANNOT COMPILE JAVA IN THIS FORM##

some_folder
_tools , _FTG_APKTOOL.py , some_app.apk, some_app-decompiled
some_app-decompiled
build
dist
lib
original
res
smali
sources <--this is where the decompiled java will be
unknown
AndroidManifest.xml
apktool.yml




### PLEASE DO NOT USE - OR -- IN THE APK FILE NAME ###
### IF YOU DO IT WILL FAIL DURING SIGNING ###

## Ending ##
This is the easiest AIO APK Tool to use! It may not look fancy but it will have no memory leaks that happen on most Windows platform applications which mean this tool will run faster then them.

Dont be a dick and change all this and claim you did something.

Please give feed back ! tell me it sucks, its hard to use I dont care or tell me its good and great job!

I have updated to V2.1
Fix long file paths issue and the memory issue (hopefully) 256 should be plenty.

cheers for the tut @FireTvGuru, im still getting the same java is not recognised error. Does the FTG_APKTOOL_V2.1.zip go in the tools folder with the apk to decompile? Why the java error. Does that need special variables, set up or install location?

Hi, where can I get FTG APKTOOL?
I tried to recompile some apk file without modification using apktool but failed to install it.
I'd like to try to use ftg_apktool.
