De-Compiling and optimizing with soot and excluding jars

[Michael Knoppik]

Hello,

I am using dare for the first time, today.

I am decompiling a self implemented app with the options -d and -c.

But there is an "android-support-v4.jar" in my Project. Decompiling the project leads to decompiling the jar-File, too.

Is it possible to decompile with dare, without touching such external jars?

Regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

There is currently no way to exclude the support libraries. They get integrated into the application apk during the compilation process so they are no longer external after compilation. That is why Dare is retargeting them.

Damien

Hello Damien,

so is it normal if the decompiling(including soot optimization) a simple Hello Worls APP  takes more then 1.5 hours to run?

Hi Michael,

No, it shouldn't take that long. Did you include the support libraries with that project? What is the output you're seeing when you run Dare?

Hello Damien,

I didn't include any libraries manually.

It still takes long for another testapp.

I attach the standard output and the standard error output.

Does this tell you something about the slowness?

Michael

Hi Michael,

Maybe this classes are automatically included, it may depend on your project setup. Decompiling that many classes is expected to take a while. Another possibility for you if speed is a problem is to just optimize the classes using Soot with the -o option (no -c option) and then use another Java decompiler to decompile the classes. That should be faster.

Regards,

Damien
