I just bought an android google tv from dealextreme. It has the Jellybean 4.2.2 and I was thinking if i add a custom rom or something it will make it run fast. There is issues on the 1080p streaming also for me.
View 1 Replies View Relatedso recently I have been trying to mod systemUI.apk with apk multi-tool. I decompiled it, made some very minor edits (some smali stuff), recompiled, put on my sdcard, moved it to system/app, renamed it to delete the "system_" part, changed permissions to rw-r--r and rebooted.
When i rebooted, my wallpaper was gone and was just black, I had to recent apps menu and no status bar. I checked settings -> app -> all and systemUI wasn't there
I have already tried wiping cache + dalvik cache and still my new systemUI.apk is not recognised.
I am interested in how to mod an apk for offline capability.
For example, Asphalt 8 game, is now version 1.2.1b i have searched offline mods, i only find "unlimited money". i just want offline, no money, no nothing.
I have apktool, i have java development, I have signapk, I have software for apk modification.
I modded flappy bird on an ios device. I just replaced that bird with something better looking.. I've been trying for last 5 hours to get it working. I have downloaded flapping bird.apk and unpacked it. I opened assets folder and edited atlas.png in Photoshop just as I did on ios device. Then, I created zip file and copied it to my android device, I opened Zip Signer and found my zip file, and set the output file location. I installed it and opened it. It opened, but when I clicked play.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi'm currently making a custom ROM for the Galaxy SL i9003 based on CM10 (its a HDPI device), and i'd like to know where the png of the statusbar is. Additionally I would also like to know where the png of the background is in the status bar drawer. I know it is either in framework-res.apk or systemui.apk but I don't have enough time to look through folders.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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'm curious how can i modify the status bar [URL] .... <---- where is wifi activation ,data sound etc.
and
notification bar [URL] ..... <--- Where is the battery ,clock wifi signal etc.
I want the notification bar ICS like (blue icons) and the notification bar icons the same ,just change the color to blue.
I followed a guide in order to change framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from /system/ ( my phone is rooted + cwm) but i couldnt get it going (i couldnt find all the icons to change).
i just got my hero, whats the next step for modding and all that?

Is there any way to play games like these?:
I'm having some problems with the porting of a rom, my phone is a clone of the phone from which i'm taking the rom (My phone is a NGM Legend 2, which is also a clone of Gionee GN868, and the original is Blu Vivo 4.3) the only thing which is really different are the mounting positions of the internal memory.
In Blu Vivo 4.3 the system partition is mounted on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 and the data partition is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 while in the mine they are mounted on /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p6.
I changed them in the updater-script so i'm able to install the rom, but i had to replace the boot.img with the one from my rom because the phone wasn't booting up, but i can't install any app from google play store (error 110) or any apk ("app not installed" error).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to port some package from Samsung ROM to CM following this guide and I'm stuck.I decompiled the package, removed TW dependency from the manifest and now I'm adding additional classes from TW framework into this package. Everything was smooth so far as I was getting rid of "class not found" and similar messages in logcat by adding the missing class and recompiling the package.When I try to run the app, I get the following message in logcat:
Code:
I/dalvikvm(30301): Could not find method com.sec.android.touchwiz.widget.TwAbsListView.isInDialog, referenced from method com.sec.android.touchwiz.widget.TwAbsListView.onHoverDrawableState
W/dalvikvm(30301): VFY: unable to resolve virtual method 9561:
[code]....
However, based on official documentation this method does not exist in this class.If I try to add android.view.ViewGroup and android.view.View from stock framework.jar into the package explicitly, I start getting "multiple definition" messages in logcat, and isInDialog still can't be resolved.So, I'm currently stuck.
