II. Finding and Modifying

Here it's purely sensory.

Android Manifesr.xml Find <category android: name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>

Guess that the startup page should be SplashActivity as the object of this modification

=> SplashActivity.smali finds sget p1, Ldev/xesam/chelaile/core/R $layout; - > cll_act_splash:I

Guess the corresponding layout file is cll_act_splash

=> cll_act_splash.xml found that the custom component GuideView was used, and the default setting was go. In smali file, invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Ldev/xesam/chelaile/app/module/func/GuideView; - > setVisibility (I) V, further guess is that it will appear only after the first boot.

=> GuideView.smali finds sget p2, Ldev/xesam/chelaile/core/R $layout; - > cll_act_guide:I, guess the corresponding layout file is cll_act_guide.xml

=> The three ImageView s in cll_act_guide.xml should be three points.

According to android:src="@drawable/indicate_dot", the corresponding material is obtained and saved directly.

Delete android:padding="5.0dip" (because the changes here cause other elements in the page to change in display)

3. Repackaging

Command format: apktool b [folder you just got] - o [output file name]

There are some warning, but it's not a big problem. The first time I use it, I don't have much trouble with him.

I got an apk here, but it can't be used. I need a signature to install it properly.

IV. Re-signature

Resigned with Auto-sign, here refers to a blog, the original link: https://blog.csdn.net/sxk874890728/article/details/80486223

Download and unzip Auto-sign, and get the following files under the auto-sign folder

Copy the newcll.apk from the previous step into the decompressed auto-sign folder and execute the command:

java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 newcll.apk cll_signed.apk

You get the final installable apk
