General :: How To Slim A ROM - Find APKs Related Files
Jun 1, 2014
I'm trying to make my own slimmed version of a ROM's .zip, by deleting some APKs and changing some other files (media, bootanaim, walls; minor changes to systemui and framework-res; etc)..
Until now, I've done it several times, but I think that I can do a more in-depth research to reduce junk files..Is there a way to find a list of LIBs and other files that are related to the APKs that I delete??. I've tried two ways:
1) Decompiling APKs and "explore" to find related files
2) Search all over the Web to find information

Is there any way (or what is the best way) to visualize what specific files within a kernel source are inter-related, what files take priority over others, etc? For example, I want to trace from top to bottom the related kernel source files & actions that would be triggered by insertion into a headphone jack, and dig through the code as much as I'm able and try narrowing down the source of a problem. I can (and have) poked around in github, and understand how to compile the kernel, but don't quite have a grasp of the hierarchy of files, drivers, etc. within the source.
If there isn't a way to 'map' out a specific kernel source, any generic flowchart or 'map' created in general for visualizing the inter-relationships of source files within android kernels?
How to compile a kernel, pack into a boot.img, edit a ramdisk, etc., within the last few weeks, but this is a major roadblock in my understanding of kernel source code.

I wanted to mod a simple android app. Now i decompiled the apk with apktool. It worked fine!
But the only files I get after compiling are .xml files and .smali files...
So now, how i can edit the .smali files? Respectively can I mod apk apps by a other way?

I am developing a small application using file operations. when ever application lunches I am writing some information about the app user in the location of "/data/anr/". While deleting the application i want to remove those files in that location. Can any one suggest me how to do this? Is there any permission needs to be added?

I'm currently hosting an app on my own server so my beta testers can test it. I've set up the apk MIME type to be application/ vnd.android.package-archive, and when I try to download the app from the emulator, it downloads the 53KB apk file and installs it. When I try to do the same thing from a real ADP1 device, it only loads 43KB. When I try to install it, the system says that I'm trying to install an app that already exists (called "Android System") and that doesn't require any permissions, but nothing happens when I proceed. logcat tells me
"D/asset (16379): failed to open Zip archive '/ sdcard/download/[name of the app].apk'
Bonus points! When I try to download the app from the emulator, I can see that in the accesslog of my server. Not so when I download it from the device, even after deleting /sdcard/download/* and clearing the cache through the settings. Almost as if the device was loading an old copy from a proxy server. I'm not sure which APN I'm using, but none of the T-Mobile APNs have a proxy AFAICS. Is there a way to circumvent the proxy, assuming that this is the case? And/or tell the proxy not to cache this apk file?

I would like to "deploy" .apk files to a set of tablets for student use in the school. Every now and then I will be required to install new apps across a range of devices. I have sorted out the transfer of the apk files to the tablets using an app called "FolderSync" so that the files will be local on the SD Card. Hopefully this part should not be problematic. Due to the fact that the tablets will be used by students, I want to make the process of installing the apps as automated as possible. Using the command "pm install <app.apk>" command I have achieved this step also. My trouble is that I will require the script to improvise and find all apk files in a folder and install them. So far I have tried the following:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/FolderSync/
find *.apk -exec "pm install {}" ;
However this returns "find: pm install app.apk: No such file or directory" This may be more of a Linux issue than android, or maybe even just me missing something obvious, however I have tried adjusting the syntax here and there and can't figure out how to successfully install a directory of .apk files.

I have a Samsung Galaxy I7500 using android 1.5. I extended my phone with a 16GB microSD. I copied a big music collection (around 800 files) into a folder on this SD. Now the problem is that the music player can't find all the files.
I know that there are several threads about android not finding music. The answers are usually that the library hasn't yet been updated or that the ID3 tags are not correct.
I have checked both.
Btw. I can play the files using ASTRO.
In my opinion it seems as if android can't build up a library with too many entries. If I rename the files or put them into different folders, songs disappear and reappear quite randomly.
Do you have any solutions? Is there a music player which doesn't use the native music players index of files?

Ive heard using the newer version of APK Manager is supposed to fix things, though cant find a newer one. The only file I found on XDA was a Jar file, and didnt explain what / how to replace with current APK Manager.

Is there a way to have, say, multiple Gallery.apk, all being individual applications that can be opened? But not default apks, an apk that I downloaded from the Playstore.
On that note, where can I find my apks that I downloaded from the Playstore?

I want to modify some apps but when I do I can't seem to get them working on devices.
I am happy with the use of APK tool and zipaling, and have successfully modified my SystemUI.apk but when I try to mod apps it does not work.
I have tried modding the apk in data/app and just replacing the file and tried modding the downloaded apk and try to install.
My process:
Decompile (APKtool)
Mod
Recompile (APKtool) - with errors
I add the files from the original APK that errored during recompile with 7zip
Zipaling
Transfer back to the device
Devices
Samsung S3 mini & Nexus 7 - both running stock rooted JB 4.1.1

We use Eclipse for making android apps. Is there any way to open APK files in Eclipse, so I can view their source folder, etc. and do any editing? I've used APK Multi tool and APK Manager, but I wanted to open an APK in Eclipse.

I am currently learning app-making for Android with Eclipse. I have downloaded android SDK manager and the android plugin for Ecplipse.
The problem is:
- I'm creating an Android project
- In my current tutorial i need to find the main.xml-file in the res/layout-container.
- The tutorial says the main.xml -file automaticly will be created when a project is created.
- I can't find any file that is names main.xml, nor can I find a similar file that should contain the same code.
- If I create an Activity while I'm creating an Android-project, a xml-file with same name as the Activity will be created in the res/layout-container.
what do I have to do to find the main.xml-file?

I've installed the android sdk, java, and all the other fancy things I was supposed to, but cannot get Android Multitool to decompile any apk's.
This is the error log it throws out: The system cannot find the path specified. 'apktool' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. The system cannot find the file specified.
