I have a rooted desire, but I have a troublesome app that won't update and I can't delete. I have seen others who have had the same problem, and a solution is to rename the app .apk.old and then redownload it, but I can't find a decent app to do this. I do have superuser permissions.

Is it possible to modify the folder grid width within android. For example, by default if I have 3 apps within a folder it will be displayed within the folder in a 2x2 grid with the top two spots and the bottom left occupied with an app. Instead I would like to modify it to be a 3x1 horizontal grid.
I have a HUAWEI Y300-0100, and it comes with a funny feature: every time it can't connect to WIFI a popup message appears saying that if you switch to data plan charges may apply.
I am constantly switching between WIFI/no-WIFI zones so that message really bothered me, and I searched a way to disable it.
Presumably, the only way to do that is by modifying a system file called "build.prop". I already had my phone rooted so doing so wasn't very hard.I used Jota+ to change a setting from "true" to "false" (ro.config.hw******), and saved the file in the root of the SD card. Then, with ES File Explorer, I renamed the "build.prop" in /system to "build.prop.bak" and copied there the "build.prop" I previously saved in the SD root.All seemed to be fine, except that after rebooting my phone it could not get past the HUAWEI logo.
Android recovery mode seems to work, but I don't know how to use a lot of its options nor I want to do a Factory Reset if there's a better alternative.Is there a way to modify system files before booting Android? I really would like to try to delete the "build.prop" file and rename the "build.prop.bak" back to "build.prop".
So after fiddling around with theming and getting comfortable decompiling, recompiling and pushing system apk's to my phone I figured I would try to mod one of my games. The game is called chess time and is a free online pvp chess game. I am trying to find the movement permissions to the specific pieces. I have had no luck. I decompiled the apk and checked all the xml's and cannot find anything that seems relevant. Where those would be? If it would be in any of the small files than I have more reading to do since how to modify those. Here's the apk:

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)

These days I am working on a project that I need to modify some other android apk's arm elf .so file.Because I changed the code namespace in android Java, so I have to change the corresponding native code's namespace in .so file.
For example change the symbol Java_com_example1_Method to Java_com_example2_method (dynamic symbol). But I don't have the source code of the native code.The change only replace 1 or 2 chars, so we don't need extra memory allocation.
I have been struggled for 3 days with no results. how to rename the dynamic symbols in elf .so file, and recaculate the .hash section.
I don't think iOS7 is such an "amazing" upgrade. Some icons are hideous and almost all new features already exists in Android.But i have to say, i instantly fell in love with the awesome window-transtions when opening and closing apps, se below:

I currently run a Nexus 4 (Jelly Bean, CM10.1 Linaro) with a modified framework-res.apk file with ICS transitions.I know how to create animations (I am an android developer) but wouldn't it be cool to implement them on our system?In the anims folder of framework-res.apk you find all of these xmls containing different animations
Code:
accelerate_quad.xml
accelerate_quint.xml
activity_close_enter.xml[code].....
Some of them are pretty obvious (toast_enter.xml for example) but i dont really know which one does what.
For reasons that are explained here: Alternate Power-off Option? , I am wanting to try a couple of ideas for controlling/modifying the power on/off function of my phone (Sony Xperia Z). I never wanted to root this phone but now it seems like I'm going to have to to give me any fighting chance of getting around the issue I'm currently in.
Anyway, what I need to know is if any of the following things will be possible if I were to root my device:
--- Disable power button from waking screen or doing anything else, and preferably set a combination of keys to be what lights-up the screen, (e.g. nothing will happen on the phone unless for example the volume up key, then volume down key, then power button are pressed in that order). Then, if this is achievable, would it be possible to keep my mobile internet data turned on, while disabling people from calling me, (so that my phone won't ring at all)
--- Edit the power off function on my device so that instead of just turning off, it reboots instead. (However in saying this I would want this function hidden, as in, I want there to be a button that says 'Power Off', but instead of just powering-off, it does a reboot instead).
--- If the above is not possible, is there some sort of light 'sleep' mode that my phone can be put into so that it appears off, however can be automated to turn back on at a set time. (I understand that Android's can't be woken when shut-down because they literally are completely shut down and can't run any apps, but maybe there's a way to have it in a sort of 'sleep' mode where it can be automated to turn on at a set time?)
--- Any other option that will either A) make someone think my phone is turned off when it's actually still on, or B) allow my phone to turn back on automatically at a set time, or do a reboot instead of shut down when 'power off' is chosen.
So I read that you can rename S Voice to whatever you want. I tried Googling it, and no results came up. I probably didn't type the proper phrases, but in any case

I am been working a on an an android app called Inomail that is available on the android market. I have done an overhaul changing the background colours, buttons to blue and green neon colours, change all icons and change text such app name plus other strings elsewhere.
Everthing work fine and I am certain it will be popular download if published.
I have been using APK Manger and Eclipse and Java decompilers to convert smali to java codes.
I successfully signed with a private key and it worked but this the obvious problem renaming the package when changing it crashes. I done everthing including refactoring and renaming in Eclipse, also renamed all the package name to all sub packages but to no avail.
If rename tthe package name back to original name it works but changing it crashes.
Now I have done some search on here there also a code to the package name which the reason for it to crash and the best way it to use a rooted device which I have and install the app.
So my 2 questions where is the folder on smartphone would I find the file or code how to manage to rename package published app on the market and how?
I'm looking for an app that can batch rename files, none of the file managers I've seen or use seem to be able to do this. It's an operation I repeat many times every day.
It can be achieved as it is with commands in the terminal, but it's quite uncomfortable to do it this way and mostly not worth the effort, also I use Asian characters ( Japanese, Korean ) and things just get too complicated.
Only thing I could find is something called "re.*" but it's not much better than using the terminal.
Is there anything out there that can simply select files, apply a rule, one/two clicks ?
I'm basically trying to rename an audio file to kill the camera click, but found an issue that might give me problems later with other things I might want to do.
Each time I try renaming the file, the file renames itself back to its original name after I reboot the phone. For example, if I add .bak or an extra space in the file name, it disappears once I reboot.
I'm using ES File Explorer on my stock, rooted Sprint HTC One. I mounted the /system path as R/W, and the file is /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.
So I have the basics down... I can create a UI with the XML, I can show it and change the screen to another UI (another XML file) but how do I add to the UI?
Hard to explain...
Say I have a header (just 2 textviews) that will remain at the top and below that is a search box and button (main.xml). The user searches and I have it display the search UI (search.xml). This UI will have the same header (2 textviews) and below it will have several textviews each one containing a search result... Kinda like if you search for an app in the market. There's no way of telling how many results would be returned so I figured I would have to create each textview on the fly within the .java file. I'm not sure how to do this. Most likely would require a loop of some sort, but whats the syntax to create a new textview and display it right below the one above it? I'm working with linear here so I would assume just creating a new textview it will by default go to the next one down which is what I want.
Also, say I have 30 results... How do I get those to scroll but leave the 2 textview header in place? Would I create a ScrollView and put the new TextViews in that?
In an Android application I am writing, the styling for my various TextView elements is defined in an xml resource. I would like enable the user to change certain styles such as android:typeface using a PreferenceActivity. Is there a way to modify a style resource programmatically such that all associated widgets will update correctly? If not, must I manually select all widgets by id and change their styling?

I am looking for some answers from some of the experts here. I have a project in mind that I want to start. It is about using HTC's Touch HD phone as a device in a museum with rich media/video about the art and the artists on it. Besides the videos and animation, I also want to show some content from a web browser. Now my biggestest issue. I do not want that the museum guest who pick up the phone for the tour get to see the standard Android user interface. Is there a way to develop a new user interface that would start up directly once the phone is turned on? It should then automatically start the app with the museum infos. Later I may want to add some GPS functions and even sms and photo taking, etc....
What do you think, how flexible is Android to allow that?
I'm primarily working on the Android SDK on windows, but would like to modify/tweak some functionality in the application framework.I have a separate ubuntu box where I downloaded the android source code, built it using "make" as well as "make sdk". I have a few questions in mind. Is it possible to import the binaries that I built on the ubuntu box into the android windows SDK? If so, what are the (proper) steps in doing so.For example, say I modified some functionality in the Activity.java file, then built it on ubuntu. I want to be able to make use of my modifications and continue my app development on my Windows SDK. Can I somehow import the framework binaries built from this step over to my windows SDK and continue my development from there? If so, what are the binaries I need and what are the steps to import them?
