I want to edit a apk file so that I can edit its notification tone. I found the notification tone and changed it but after compiling it and installing it gives me a error "App not installed".
For decompiling used 7zip and changed the notification tone and then zipped it back. This is the first time I am editing a file.

I was getting the error "Application not installed", when I tried to download a simple application(developed by me).
Here is the process I followed:
1. I created a simple application 2. Using eclipse, I exported it as an unsigned application package. (Android Tools/Export as an unsigned application package). This resulted in a .apk file. 3. Using keytool, I generated a keystore, with which I signed the application using jarsigner. 4. Using zipalign tool, I aligned the package. 5. I linked the apk file to my website, where I can download the app.
I verified all the above processes.
When I download the app, and tried to install, it says "Application not installed".
I am not knowing what resulted in this error.
I have written an application that runs OK in an emulator.When I export a signed package and try and load the .apk into a Samsung Galaxy S I get the message "application not installed"

We have an app that we have tested successfully across 10 different devices on 4 different networks without a problem. However, our app will not work on ANY Nexus One devices, tested across 4 different carriers. The work flow is like this:
1. Via the browser, visit a URL to download the apk file OTA.
2. Install app. App shows up on the device.
3. Click the icon to run the app. An error occurs saying "Application is not installed on your phone"
At this point, we can see the app is trying to run. LogCat shows the following interesting bit:
CODE:...........
The funny thing is, I have android.permission.INTERNET use-permission in the manifest, and no other devices seem to have a problem with the permissions set there.
WHY this behaviour is isolated to Nexus One devices?
So, I finally decided to root my Sprint HTC Hero. My handset crashed for some reason and would not boot, so I figured while I had my hard cover pried off to pull the battery, I would give Z4Root a shot. Ironically, it worked without me having to pull my battery. Anyway, as I said, Z4Root worked great, but I after I installed ROM Manager, it keeps giving me an error about not being able to flash the recovery image. Am I doing something wrong here?

Now every time we try to use a browser, any browser, it opens for a second and then it closes to the Home screen right away. No force close, no error message, just poof and it's gone. I didn't install many apps to it like my Captivate because I figured less is more for her. She added her facebook and MySpace accounts but that's about it really.
I looked all over the past few hours and found similar issues but none quite the same. I cleared the cache, cleared the data, nothing. 3G or WiFi made no difference. I tried with the stock browser, Skyfire, Dolphin, and xScope and same results across the board. I turned all location settings off and back on and back off again to no avail. I just did a factory reset 15 minutes ago and nothing has changed. I am going to do it again without allowing the Backup Assistant to do anything. I'll make a fresh google account to see if there's a difference there but I don't think it will work. It's not rooted or anything, it's pretty much fresh out of the box from only 3 days ago.
I need editing my sms database on Windows PC..
I tried SQLite Database Browser but it does not work, all that happens is the name of the db shows on the top but the browser stays empty like nothing changed. I also tried just to use notepad++ but it opens in what seems like encrypted.
What other options do I have to be able to edit it? Its my Evo3D mmssms.db that I'm looking to edit.
I have a few questions about my Samsung Galaxy Young - 5360.
1. How to edit the status bar icons like battery, 3G , etc.
2. How to make a folders in the menu coz i have 7 pages of apps , and its out of order ( shuffle). This is for now.
P.S. I'm talking about the stock rom. I don't wanna a custom rom , prefer the original one. And the phone is not rooted, but i will if need.
Is there any editing software you can use right on the phone? For example, for podcasts or songs I have on the phone, if I want to keep just a piece of one, is there anything I can use right on the phone to trim the file down?

View 1 Replies View Relatedhow to extract an .obb file so that one can edit the contents. In my other thread [URL] where I was trying to figure out a way to activate the Japanese vocal track in Final Fantasy IV with the game's locale in the US/English. I've hit an impasse as I've been able to deduce that the Google play version of the game (which seems to have a 15mb .apk, and a 400+mb .obb ) retains the Japanese audio track but only plays it in conjunction with JP text if the Android locale/language is Japanese. Thus, I figure that somewhere in that .obb there will be the JP audio track file which I can copy over the English audio track file and thereby access Japanese audio w/ English text since SquareEnix didn't give us the option for some god-awful reason.
However, the only way this can work is if I can get into that .obb file! I saw links elsewhere on the forum suggesting that all I had to do was rename the .obb to a .zip or .rar, and then use 7zip or WinRAR to open it, but attempts with both programs and numerous file types (.zip, .rar , .tar etc..) all report that the file is not an archive and thus cannot be opened. This is different from the .apk file, which easily seems to (upon rename to zip) unveil its secrets with 7zip extraction. So, does an program or method necessary to unpack/extract/read/edit an .obb file besides the simple archive rename? Is there some Android development program or function?
I have been playing with apktool to learn how apps are made. Decompiled following the guide from this forum.
However I can't find what I'm looking for in the apps. For example, it's easy to edit the drawable folders of the apps and change the images.
I took some apps that gather feeds from news sites and I tried to find where are the feeds URLs coded or embedded inside the apps files, and could not find any info at all. No URLs at all. I opened the XMLs, and other files inside res, lib or smali folders, opened a lot of the files with Notepad++ and I can't find any information about it, or any place where the app connects to the website.
Is it possible to access that info when we decompile with apktool?
I also watched a lot of videos in YouTube, on how to edit apps with apktool, and all of them explain how to change the images, but nothing else.
Is it only possible to edit the theme/design of an app, when we decompile with apktool? Or can we go further and change something else?
I have tried using gedit, geany, eclips, and some other programs and all of them give me errors and won't open a single xml file!Is there certain plug-ins I have to download?

I've been out of the game for a while when it comes to making videos and editing them. I stopped fooling around with the hobby about eight years ago because it was such a hassle at the time, Sony handycam, the micro tapes, play the movie to put it on the computer, then edit it and put it in what was the thing then "mpeg4".
Will I bought myself a droid x two years ago and was gonna take up the hobby then but technology has come so far since eight years ago and the thought just scares me. Now I have a razr maxx, and i wanna start making videos, what kind of software would you suggest, what formats of videos are there now?
I feel that a cell phone would make the quality videos I'm interested in, it much better than my old Sony handycam
I'm trying to cook a rom and i want to set a style (sliding tab) as a default for lockscreen and incall lockscreen. I think i have to edit or add some line in lockscreen_style_settings.xml that is stored in CMParts.apk
esxml
Or maybe i have to edit settings.xml stored in Settings.apk
esxml?
I think I have to edit CMParts.apk, esxmllockscreen_style_settings.xml because when i my backup's datadatacom.cyanogenmod.cmpartsshared_prefs there is a file named com.cyanogenmod.cmparts_preferences.xml that contain's some line's about lockscreen.
Here is the com.cyanogenmod.cmparts_preferences.xml line's:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<boolean name="pref_trackball_wake" value="true" />
<string name="pref_install_location">0</string>
[Code] .....
I decompiled the CMParts.apk but i dont know which line's should be edited or what to add!
I don't know if this is an android problem or more device related. All I know for certain is that its one giant headache. I thought it was just a matter of getting used to a different keyboard feel and figured I'd give it a while.
But its been several weeks now and its still Many times if its just a minor typo I'll just leave it rather than go through the torture of editing it.
The main problem is that it cannot be placed with precision. If you try it just jumps around from back to forth and line to line.
I know I'm used to the way it works on iPhone where you can get it approx near where you want it and them just press down firmly to move it to the precise place you want it.
Its impossible for me to do that with this cursor so I have to keep taking multiple stabs at it and hope for the best. I have pretty small hands and fingers and am obviously quite used to online keyboatds. But this thing is driving me nuts.
Am I the only one with this problem? Or is there just some little trick or technique of which I'm totally I the dark about?

The file itself can be opened with WinRAR, but shows that it was signed by SignAPK.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy ideal place to get to is to eventually provide the community here with custom roms and mods which everyone can enjoy on their devices, just like what all the greats devs do here day in day out.... but before I get there, I'm on a path of discovery. At the minute, I want to take a XDA dev's already pre worked ROM, go in to it and change a few things up.... edit the apps, maybe play with a few apks, change the ringtones etc, and then resign the ROM and flash it to my device.
I've been reading some great tutorials such as [URL] ..... which I am finding very useful, however....
They seem to be geared towards someone working on a windows machine. I dont want to do it in Windows, I want to do it in Linux... I dont wish to use "CygWin" and I would rather do it manually than use a kitchen - I could easily follow these guides in Windows and achieve my stated aim of a slightly modified custom ROM, however, the overall goal here is to acquire knowledge, and enjoy the process as it goes along.
Now, my current understanding under Linux (Mint 13) is that I can download a recovery flashable Zip, go in to it, and just change up some of the files as I desire.... but then I get confused when it comes to repackaging the ROM prior to flashing it to my device. How would I go about doing this?
After I take a lens blur photo using the Google Camera app, I can swipe to the right to view the photo and adjust the blur. After I select "done," the photo updates with my blur options. However, when I exit the camera and view this photo using Google Photos, the lens blur options I chose are not there and it's not possible to edit the lens blur. It seems I have to open the camera and swipe right in order to see the lens blur effects.
-Can I only adjust lens blur options within the camera app itself?
-Can I only view the lens blur effects within the camera app?
if seems this is a waste of the lens blur feature. After I make adjustments to the blur and select done, that's the image that should be saved and viewable by Google Photos, Gallery, and backed up to Google+.
Would it be (easily) possible (for a dev, so not me) to add undo/redo buttons to text editing? This is a HUGE feature missing in Android, soon 2013, five years of android, and still not there...
