View 2 RepliesI'm looking to modify wpa_supplicant files located in system/bin.
It's an executable files, is there a way to modify this?
I thought this would be easy to find:
A text editor that can create/edit text files from the SD card.
i.e. Windows Notepad on the Desire?
I have both a Galaxy Tab from Verizon and Sprint with stock roms. I want to take the Settings.Apk and just modify out the Wireless AP launcher activity from AndroidManifest.xml..So I decompile the APK, remove the offending XML section and recompile. Sign it and get this
Code:
I/PackageManager( 120): /system/app/Settings.apk changed; collecting certs
W/PackageManager( 120): Signature mismatch for shared user : SharedUserSetting{40554d08 android.uid.system/1000}
E/PackageManager( 120): Package com.android.settings has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!
Maybe I did the signing wrong. Okay, so I take the Settings.Apk from AOSP Gingerbreak (from the SDK Emulator) and plug it in.
I try an unsigned apk and I get another issue about not being signed. I research and I read that I have to resign all APKs... So I do. I take all /system/ app/ *.apk with the matching certificate and resign them. I also take /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
Code:
W/PackageManager( 120): Library not found: /system/framework/sec_feature.jar
D/PackageManager( 120): Scanning app dir /system/framework
D/PackageManager( 120): This is not system dir
[code]....
More specifically I want to edit the Settings.apk and add more options. I'm unsure what the best approach to this is. I know how to convert the classes.dex to a .jar, but this doesn't seem like the way to go about accomplishing anything. At any rate, I'm really looking for some insight into this and advanced editing such as this. Someone knows how to, care to share?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a android apk which I installed on my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.
I backed the app up so I could download the apk to my Windows PC.
I'd like to edit the .png files in it, I've followed a tutorial on here using the apktool, decompiled ok and recompiled it, but when I transfer it back to my phone to re install it I get a message saying the application cannot be installed.
I am running some more tests and decided to take a different path for dual boot (for testing anyway, still gonna give it a go with bmp)... so to make a long story short, how do I edit the .bct file that comes with the nvflash zip??? I can edit the .cfg just fine but when I add my secondary partitions at the end of the line up and before UDB, the g2x doesnt seem to boot, like it just stays at the first lg logo and goes no further. I need access to the file to make it kick over. I think. Ive not been able to find out how to edit the file.. although I've not looked 110% as I usually do..
I am not even sure if I've named them right.. but hte way I see it they are all 3 characters in length.. so ive made the secondaries called APS, CAS, & UDS.. that also maybe my issue. but none the less ive attached a screen cap to show they were made and where they fall in the lineup.

Some apps ask for more permissions than I want to give them.
With DroidWall I can take internet permissions away from individual apps, which is great for all those app that demand internet access even though they work fine without it. But what if I want to remove other permissions, such as access to my location or my contacts?
There is a manual way to edit unwanted permissions out of .apk files, but this method is not meant for human consumption.Is there an app that lets me allow/deny permissions per app?
I wanted to mod a simple android app. Now i decompiled the apk with apktool. It worked fine!
