with the current buzz of DrawSomething, I thought I would check it out but it doesn't seem to fit within the screen resolution of the galaxy mini.
does anyone know if it is possible to resize/change something in the APK file to get it to fit?
thanks in advance
as far as I know you can't, because it's not compatible with our "legacy"devices
as for editing the apk to fit your need you must get a permission from the developer to do that; or you will be kicked in the a**(just kidding)
It is possible if you get it from other sources, its difficult because of the size issue - but still fun!
As for resizing it, I've thought about it, maybe try it today

Right, I have a few complications here.... I decompiled it and there is a lack of files! I don't know if I can reaize it as there appears to be no images/xml's to resize!

When you say you decompiled it, do you mean you unzipped the APK file? Or are there more steps to it?

Not if it's floss you don't, you don't need to ask permission even if they say so as long as it's under a correct license and you can't mix licences even under V2 of the GNU public license.
You might wonder how MIUI can be proprietary, well they can't and are not any more.
You can take anything and change it in any way without asking permission as long as you redistribute it under the same version of GNU licence.
AND YOU CAN DO SO IN ANY WAY YOU PLEASE.
When someone says that you can't, it just means they don't have a clue about the licence, the code or the intentions of the floss community, give them the finger and be done with them.

Is it possible? Ive been googling out for about an hour and I couldn't find anything about changing the sound. A lot about silencing it but zero about changing out to a custom sound. I replaced the camera_click.ogg in system/media/audio/ui and (mnt)/sdcard/soundz/ui (the only three places I could finday camera_click.ogg, the second folder bring one of my own with so bunch of downloaded audio). I also searched for sound_1 (the name of the sound when changing it from the in-camera settings).
Sorry it's so long-winded. Just wanted to say what I've already tried.
Birthquake milkshake, thorpedo, gene hackman/hugh jackman, etc...
In the camera app there is a setting for the changing of the sound I think it has a other option

Right, it has four options: sound_1, sound_2, sound_3, and off.
My question was: where on the internal sd are those three sounds located so I can change them to any .ogg of my choosing?
Birthquake milkshake, thorpedo, gene hackman/hugh jackman, etc...
I would assume they're in the apk itself
system\app\Camera.apk\res\raw\
I think that's it

you might be able to just drop your .ogg files in without extracting.
and why is everyone so eager to sign apks?? wtf?
you NEVER EVER sign system apks

i think you need to read some tutorials on decompiling/recompiling apks before you attempt these kinds of edits. its good if you understand what signing means.

Just grab the entire apk, open it with 7zip file manager and drop the one of your choosing in the archive, make sure it's the same file type and had the same name.

Hey guys, I've patched android.policy.jar to add more options to the power menu.
This is not a flashable zip, it is the patched GlobalActions*.smali files required to make this work. All the strings should be correct, but I haven't been able to test yet. Sorry for not posting a complete jar, I added this to my framework and realized it was not stock (had extra mods that may cause instability). I'll post up a stock flashable zip when I get the chance, but until then, let your favorite dev know to add this to their roms
You are free to use, modify, redistribute, etc. as you see fit. All I ask is to share any fixes added.
Thanks to LeeDroid for help with the code.
Thanks to snq- for the original code.

No problem, someone had to do it lol. It's supposed to show the hibernate png, some resource id in the smali itself is off. Instead, it's calling "common_icon_following_on.png". Should be fairly simple to fix, i just ran out of time.
google dex2jar and jd-gui if you want to be able to decompile them. They made seeing the java source code a lot easier but it is extra steps and you may have to repack them.

I've used this and it's great for decompiling close to the original source, but it seems to never put it back together properly. That's why most just use smali/baksmali to make sure it will go back together right.

Alright, link is up guys. Please test for me, I'm on Hybrid atm.
To push this to the gingerbread ota rom:
1. have the rom booted
2. adb remount
3. adb shell stop
4. adb push /path/to/android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar
5. adb shell start
6. adb reboot

No worries mate. I just think that if it's something you're going to want to modify the contents on a regular basis (or even just every now and then) then you don't want a web developer working on it for you. You want to be able to modify it yourself.
Yea I gotcha. I know how to code some just not very good at optimizing for multiple browser support. But i think i will go with the wordpress way

If you know some coding yourself then definitely go for it - you should have no problems (or simple Google-able ones )

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if there is any method to protect an app from stealing, as in downloading it and saying it is your's.
I've thought of writing a signature, like the name of the author, in the manifest of an app, but, that can easily be edited. Is there any way to make the text un-editable or read-only?
As I have noticed, one of our greatest devs, nAa, has done that with his ROM, MiniCM7. One can edit the ROM's name in the build.prop but nAa has found a way to add a string, "Based on MiniCM", after the edited ROM's name.
So that's what I'm trying to do. Something that makes the text un-editable so that none can put their own name or say it's their's.
Thanks in advance.
You could hardcode your name (or some special lettering [e.g; Cs4gf95X8] ) randomly in the apps code and if you suspect your app has been copied them simply find your special lettering
Or add some files in the META-INF of the APK.
Cool thoughts but I'm searching for more "professional" ways.

Quinny899 might be able to help you on this one.
Shoot him a PM or check the X8 Off Topic.
By professional what do you mean?
Do you want a visual approach as to where the user can see the developer?
:cyclops:
I guess a good dev wouldn't just randomly write his encoded name into the code to prove that the app is his creation, would he? That's what I'm trying to say with "professional"...kinda...
I'll wait for more replies and, yeah, maybe I'll ask for help by a dev or something.

I think the safest method would be to implement a "phone home" to implement a validity check - of course by using a C++ binary through JNI (way harder to crack down on than on a reverse engineered APK / SMALI code)
You can either use something like a encrypted string check, or some kind of serial number verification. You could even spice it up with a self-check (pull a sha1sum of the APK and compare it past the expected value to see if it has been tampered with - the change of a single "character" already changes the sha1sum).
Everything you could possibly implement "offline" might be easy to patch out - but then even online-checks aren't really uncrackable (hint: Titanium; very sophisticated copy-protection but keeps on getting cracked). You can only try to make it as annoying as possible to crack it.
encrypt data!
hahaha
paste your xda profil link in there
That can easily be edited with apktool.
I'll try to do what B.Jay said. I didn't understand half the things he said so I will do some searching first.

The script you've linked to seems to do exactly what you want to do.
If not, you can always look around for .htaccess codes (a one that hides the URL) or something.
