change a layout
decompile and recompile a closed-source apk
decompile and recompile a closed-source apk while modifying the smali and resources

i found the tool quite useful for quick changes to an existing application as i was able to decompile an existing application, change the strings.xml file, and recompile the application again to view the changes. how fast the tool performs these actions, though, depends on your device. on my google nexus 6p, decompiling an apk file took around 2 minutes while re-compiling an apk took around another 2 minutes,so i personally wouldnt want to be using apktool from my phone all that often.
