Decompile, Modify And Compile APK Files With APK Easy Tool

APK Easy tool is a very versatile utility and it is not only used as a tool to decompile and modify APK files but can also be used to compile APKs easily.

Android applications are packaged and distributed as APK packages. When you download an app from the Play Store, it basically downloads the APK file even though you won’t see it in the Downloads folder.

There are many APK files scattered on the internet that you can install. You might even find some modded APK files usually for games. APK files are basically archives like ZIP or RAR and can be unpacked in the same way.

If you are knowledgeable enough, you can make changes and modify them, repackage them and install them or share them. This time, we will show you how you can decompile and recompile, and edit or modify APK files using APK Easy Tool.

APK Easy Tool is “a lightweight application that allows you to manage, sign, compile and decompile APK files for the applications you are working on”.

This app is developed by Evildog1. Compiling and decompiling an APK file is much the same as unpacking and repackaging a ZIP file. This is not a difficult process at all. However, some people are not familiar with the command line. Therefore, a GUI-based Easy Tool APK is needed.

Compiling APK allows you to see the content in it and you can then modify various aspects of the application or game. For example, you can change the color of the Facebook app or enable and disable features. APK Easy Tool makes decompile and compile jobs easier than ever, the modding section is where you can do the magic.
