I am a S4 new user coming from iPhone 5, on iPhone I can edit pictures/splash screen for the installed apps by just browsing to the installation dir for the app and edit whats inside..
my question is now I am rooted, is the APK file contents get extracted somewhere in the phone or it stays as it is? and If yes where is the location?

I just wondered, if someone has an application's APK file, can it be extracted? I mean, can you open it to extract any images, sound files, class files, xml files, etc?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe know that the ROM is installed to the /system partition. Likewise the kernel ie boot.img is installed to the /boot partition of the device. I tried hard but could not find any reference to such a /boot partition(directory) in the root of the device. I would like know whether it is hidden or disguised as something else. The script that flashes the custom kernels has the following line
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9");
(What is the block code for system and other partitions?)
Is mmcblk0p9 the /boot partition? Moreover /dev/block has no reference to boot or mmcblk0p9. So where exactly is the kernel being extracted? The boot.img comes packaged as zImage + ramdisk, In other words where are zImage and ramdisk extracted to, in the root file system and in what form? Is the ramdisk responsible for the creation of the root files system(/dev, /proc, /data. /system, /sys, /sbin etc)?
I have some images that I exracted using dump_image. I'm trying to restore them with the MTK Flash Tool. The ones that go on FAT partitions seem to flash fine but the ones that go on yaffs2 partitions don't work.
I think I need a way of converting the images I extracted to yaffs2 images.
I have created a app that displays all the content from res/raw folder. I need that when I click on .doc file it should open and I can view its content. I have ThinkFree.
Enter code here:
public class FileList extends ListActivity {
public static final Field[] fields = R.raw.class.getFields();
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<Field>(this, R.layout.row, R.id.weekofday, fields));
} @Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
String selection = l.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
Toast.makeText(this, selection, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
startActivity(i);
} }
How do I save the contents of an array to a file and then read it again later? I have a small amount of data that will need to be stored and since I have no idea where to start on using a SQLite database, I think this will work a lot better.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have ported android to our hardware. I am facing some issues related to sdcard. Here is the test scenario and issues:
First issue :
1. On hardware, insert the card and copy a file to sdcard using dd command.
2. Remove the card from hardware.
3. Do ls /sdcard. It shows the file present in sdcard. It seems unmount of sdcard device is not happening.
Second issue:
1. Copy a file to sdcard using dd command.
2. Remove the sdcard and check the content of the sdcard from PC. File is not visible.
3. Copy file to sdcard again and then check the content of sdcard from PC. File size is zero bytes.
4. Restart the hardware and copy the file again. File is visible when checked from PC.
Third issue:
1. The content of copied file are not matching with the original source file.
I have a class that extends View. I override the onDraw method and allow the user to draw on the screen. I am at the point where I want to save this view as an image. I Can use buildDrawingCache and getDrawingCache to create a bitmap that I can write to the SD card. However, the image is not good quality at a large size, it has jagged edges. Since I have a View and I use Paths I can transform all by drawing to a bigger size. I just don't know how to make the Canvas bigger so when I call getDrawingCache it doesn't crop all the paths I am just transformed. What is happening is I transform all my paths but when I write the Bitmap to file I am only getting the "viewport" of the actual screen size. I want something much bigger.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to reverse engineer an existing android app and understand how a particular UI is constructed. I've found that I can rename the apk to zip and view some of the compiled source. The res/layout directory is populated with all the xml files that define the UI, but while they do have the xml extension, they are not in XML format. Is there anyway to convert these files back to text based markup?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI connected my android phone to my PC via USB cable and created a folder and file at "F:/Android/mymusic/so_happy.mp3". What I am trying to with my program on the phone is to list the contents of "F:/Android/mymusic/" (however that is represented on the device, I think it is something like /mnt/sdcard/Android/mymusic/ but that is not working). So far I am not getting anywhere. A listing of my code is posted below. Basically what it does is checks the directory for file contents, stores it in an arraylist of strings, and then is added to a spinner. So far, files is always null and "song0" and "song1" just get added to the spinner. What I want is to see "so_happy.mp3" there instead.

On all the ads and blurb for the HTC Hero, its proudly announced that the device has a flash player. Going through the list of files (via Astro) there is indeed a file named 'HTCflashplayer'. So what exactly is this flash-player for? Does it need to be extracted and launched somehow? Because it sure as hell doesn't play much flash!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know there are already alot of apps to protect the phones and its contents BUT is there anything stopping a thief from simply taking out the sdcard and putting it in another phone or reader to view and access the contents of the sdcard? If you plan on storing personal info on the card, whether it'd be photos / files etc It would be really good to know that even if the sdcard is taken they still cannot access the info. I would've thought this is a pretty common request. something like trycrypt or storage crypt for the microsd card would be really good.

View 2 Replies View RelatedNeed to display images downloaded and extracted from a zip into the "/files" directory of the app. the images are getting in there properly as far as i can tell - i am able to extract them from the emulator and view/open them from my desktop. but every attempt, every variation of code i have found and tried so far has failed (Tag: skia / Text: --- decoder->decode returned false).
My latest construct, which does work for image files downloaded separately and uncompressed :
Code:
String imgFile = new File(getFilesDir(), "myImage.jpg").getAbsolutePath();
ImageView myImageView = new ImageView(this);
Bitmap bm = null;
try{
bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile);
myImageView.setImageBitmap(bm);
} finally{
mainLayout.addView(myImageView);
}
And here is the construct i am using to handle the zip extraction. I assume this is where the problem lies but i am clueless as to what i could possibly do differently and to what effect:
Code:
ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(fis);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(zis, 8192);
ZipEntry ze;
while ((ze = zis.getNextEntry()) != null){
File dest_file = new File(getFilesDir(), ze.getName());

I am receiving the battery and SD card to go along with the HTC Droid Incredible 2 I got today. He said to hook up my phone to the computer (not sure which setting to choose, PC Mode, etc) and then copy the SD card stuff to the computer. Then I'm supposed to transfer that to the new 16gb card I'm getting.
