Decompile Apps

  1. Move or copy your target apk to decompiler folder in Tmux-Bunch folder. For example , fb_lite.apk is my target apk or app so i will move/copy fb_lite.apk into decimpiler folder cp /path/to/fb_lite.apk $HOME/Tmux-Bunch/decompiler
  2. Now just run tmuxbunch tmuxbunch.
  3. And select option 2 and enter to continue.
  4. Now you can see your target apk so just enter number of choice which is 1 in my case.
  5. App is now decompiled in recompiler folder with same name i.e fb_lite.apk in my case (Don’t confused by the .apk extention of decompiled source , here .apk is just a name you can check by cd fb_lite.apk)

Recompile Apps

  1. By taking same example as above now i have decompiled source in recompiler folder i.e fb_lite.apk (remember fb_lite.apk is not apk file , it is a folder here) So just play with source and after playing you have to rerun tmuxbunch tmuxbunch
  2. Select option 3 and you can see now folder name which is fb_lite.apk in my case so i will enter 1 and boom :).
  3. App will be reompiled to unsign folder but wait work is not completed yet …
  4. Now you will have to sign your target apk to avoid package parse error while installing.

Sign Apk

  1. So we have our recompiled apk in unsign folder and now select option 4 .
  2. And enter number of choice which is 1 in my case.
  3. Hit ENTER and now you can pick your final signed app from sign folder.

Extra Feature Of Payload Binding With Legit Apps

  1. Move or copy your target app in binder folder.
  2. Run tmuxbunch tmuxbunch.
  3. Select 6 and you will get list of apks from binder folder , for example i copied fb_lite.apk in binder folder and selected 6 so i will see only one app in list which fb_lite.apk.
  4. Enter 1 or your desired choice and ENTER.
  5. Then wait 2-5 minutes while binding process.
  6. Now you can pick your final binded apk from embout folder.

Note :- Some apps cant be binded because of some reasons and some tested apps are Ccleaner, Terminal Emulator, Google Launcher, Fblite (Maybe only in aarch64), mini militia modded version etc 🙂

Using this ….You can play with apks source codes and also you can bind payloads with any apk.
