APK Utility is for decompiling, compiling, zipaligning, and signing apk and jar files. The utility also has the ability to tag your frameworks. This is a very good feature if you want to install frameworks for multiple different devices without having to remove one for the other.

Apk Utility is simple to use and completely automated.
  • Just place all your apk and/or jar files in the input folder.
  • All compiled apk or jar files will be in the output folder.
  • In most cases you'll be using option 4 to decompile and option 6 to recompile.
This is for linux and has been tested on ubuntu and xubuntu.

You can download APK Utility from the project's page:
