[Shell Extension]Display APK icons from explorer - G1 Android Development

9/2/2011 UPDATE:
V2.1 release, fix the explorer no response when first time adb start.
If you find no response when installing, try reconnect your device
Any feedback is welcome!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8/24/2011 UPDATE:
V2.0 can install the app directly from context menu, do not forget to connect your phone first.
Please read the wiki page first
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for let you waiting so long, here are some UPDATE:
Working well on win7 32bit & 64bit, please see the wiki page on http://code.google.com/p/apkshellext/
Now it requires .net framework 4, there is a download link on wiki page.
Thanks to dds.feng, he reminded me that I have this project pending, and he brings an important patch.
Good luck everyone.

Hi, All
I found it's difficult to find a correct apk file among names when I want to install one to my lovely G1, then I did a windows extension.
you need .NET framework 2.0 or above installed.
download the dll here http://code.google.com/p/apkshellext/downloads/list
Works Only on XP 32bit and possibly on win7 32bit.
Doesn't work on x64 platform for now. It's ok if you want a try
extract all stuff in the zip,
excute reg.bat,
after register successfully, you will got, probably you need a reboot

It's created with VStudio 2008 express and c#, you can also find the source on project page.
I will keep updating this. Good luck!

will check it out thanks. I love apps for pc that helps me organize all my junk lol.

Doesnt seem to work on win 7

Not working on Windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you for your share and wonderful tool!

I am not sure if it's the same for both XP and Vista (haven't tried 7 yet) but there is an easier way (tried and tested).
Open an Explorer (not Internet Explorer) window. Folder, computer, doesn't matter.
Go to Tools then Folder Options
Click on View tab
Check the Hide extensions for known file types
Then click OK
It's been working for me.

While any power user should have that option disabled, that's not what this post is about. This is about getting Windows to use the icon embedded in the APK. (32-bit Vista, need to reboot to be sure, but not working yet)

Couldn't make it work on Windows XP prefoessional either.
Said it registered but no icons apear.
[EDIT]: It does work! Just needed a reboot. Thanks for this!

ooops...finally another user claim successful....I though it will never success except on my machines...
after register, probably no need to reboot, just kill your explorer and restart it....
looks like vista and 7 is using a different interface for extracting icon for certain kind of file... I will look into it...
I'm going to add some feature like add a context menu to install apk to your Gphone...
any good idea?

for 64bit OS user, here is a workaround... before I release a 64bit version..

Thank you very much...
A lot of time searching for something like this

I can not get it to work on my xp I've tried rebooting,killing explorer, and extracting to different directories. Do I need to extract it to \system32?

Hi,
I create a x64 version, but since I don't have x64 OS, please have a try and feed back.
download here ->
http://apkshellext.googlecode.com/files/apkshellext.dll
use the old reg.bat to register, probably, you have to kill your explorer first, and run the bat using "run..." command

you don't have to extract it to system32, but you need to run the reg.bat first, and you should see something like "register successful" message. after it, you cannot move the dll file, since the path is recorded in registry.
sometimes the icon doesn't show since icon cache, please try see the properties of your apk file, if everything correct, you should see the icon in the properties window.
if still doesn't work, here is a piece of registry keys extract from my computer, please check if you have the same:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\DefaultIcon]
@="%1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shellex]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk\shellex\IconHandler]
@="{66391a18-f480-413b-9592-a10044de6cf4}"
still problem, reply again, describe what you did and I will try my best to help

Maybe I am wrong but i do not see anywhere saying this is for Droidexplorer.
From the explanation this is for the regular build in explorer for MS so for it not working in droid explorer i would say thats a droid explorer issue since that is not the normal ms one but a custom build application

I never said it was for Droidexplorer. Droidexplorer was my cause for the icons not working. So I uninstall it...now all my apk's have icons.

Didn't work for me either running XP. I looked through properties like others suggested but found nothing that would allow me to change this. Does it have to be changed where it says "open file with..." or is something else changing?

JBlend and Java and the mystery of the vanishing app

Hi folks, sorry for the duplicate post I just realised this is where I should have posted (not on the general thread)....
I am a formula 1 race fan and the official website provides a rich and powerful java app for PDA's that is truly cool. It provides live timing, circuit data, weather conditions etc
See http://www.formula1.com/mobile_services/live_timing.html
The application detects I am downloading this to my HD2 and it installs well and runs quite well. However everytime I shut it down I have to go to the website to download it again !?
It doesn't appear in my installed applications list and I can't find the formula1.jar file it downloads.
Can one of the code gurus on here help track down where this app goes so we can have it all the time?
The only clue I can see is that it shares the same icon as the jblend application found in the tools section.
What is JBlend???
When I click on jblend I get the F1 2010 application appear with several options (one of which is local install) but nothing other than going to the full download works.
Can someone help please I am obviously not across the java implementation here. Can someone download this and try it???
JBlend is Java emulator, bcoz WinMo not supporting Java.
You don't have to download this app agin - just find and run JBlend form your Menu Start and your app will be on list. Mark it and run and this is it!

Hi Frank, yes I apologised I made the first thread and then realised I should have posted here.
I have seen the F1 app you provided as well as another I loaded
http://www.bestwindowsmobileapps.co...cing-stats-and-fixtures-on-windows-phone.html
But neither of them have live timing and all the other features of the official F1 app. Is there any way I can find out where the formual1.jar file is being copied to and keep a copy so I can run a local install whenevr I need to?
you want have *.JAR?
FRANQ_23_PL said:

I want to be able to run this from the JBlend whenever I want to but as I said I get an error "Uncaught Exception!"
I know when I download the installation file from the website and install it I am able to run it one time again. I believe it copies down a file called formula1.jar but I don't know where it puts that. If I could copy that file I could then install it locally rather than use up bandwidth connecting and downloading it each time.
Heh i know where it is
I dunno whats wrong with your Leo, but in mine after installing and restarting phone this app don't disapear and working fine.
Try to install it form THIS FILE extracted from my Leo, maybe this helps.

Hey I didn't think of rebooting after installing the APP! But every time I try to run it I get "Uncaught Exception!"
Please note I can see the app in JBlend its just that I don't know where the installation file gets downloaded to.
Anyway I installed the application again and rebooted my Leo this time. Again I was able to successfully run this app but once I shut it down and tried to run it again from JBlend I still get "Uncaught Exception".
At least now that I have a copy of the Jar file I can run that locally to install again.
Its a pain having to do this but thanks for the jar file at least I am not using up bandwidth downloading the file from the net.

Any bug?
Can't wait to try it. What exactly does this script? I mean how it is working
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
It works like that:
-It makes the BackupMarket folder in C:\
-It copies the com.android.vending-1.apk (which is in /data/app/ and this file could not exist!) in the phone to the C:\BackupMarket folder
-It copies the file Vending.apk (whic is in /system/app/ this file exist in every devices) from the device to C:\BackupMarket
-It copies the com.android.vending-1.apk (whic is included in the script) to the /data/app/ directory into the device
-It copies the file Vending.apk (whis is included in the script) to the /system/app/ directory in the device
-The script will reboot the phone.
This is how it works, if you wants the source-code, don't hesitate to contact me in PM or at [email protected]
Thanks for the explanation, tried it and works great. Thanks for this script mate.

Doesn't work for me - creates the directory and then sits there, doing nothing. No files copied. Debug is on, USB Storage off (also tried with it on). Unarchived and ran ADB in archive with "devices" - nothing shows as connected so that's probably why.
Will try again at home where I did the original root - maybe ADB is not working here. Will update later.

You have no ADB Drivers in your PC. I'm 100% sure of that, and now I will explain to you why is that:
The script controls that your phone is connected to the PC and that is correctly running with ADB. If the phone isn't working fine with ADB the script will NOT run until the phone is correctly running with ADB.
In english, that means that your ADB Drivers aren't installed properly
Let me know if the script works on your main PC

Yes, and I figured that out after awhile and tried to install them but was unsuccessful. I tried it again on the home PC (Vista64) where I had previously installed the SDK and it appeared to start but not finish - after showing the transfer statistics, it basically just stopped.
I did see activity on the phone, but not a full reboot. When I looked at the market however, it had definitetly updated it and it was working great. With the script still active and the phone connected, I did a manual reboot. At that point the script declared the update a success.
So guess the only thing it missed was doing a full cold reboot.
The new market looks and works great - thanks so much for putting this together for noob hackers like myself. In addition to making it easy, looking at the syntax of the script taught me a few things. Cheers!

How to use THE FAST! BlueStack as your alternate Android development emulator

You can do this VERY EASY! but I'll recommend that you first install Launcher Pro or ADW (you can sync the app using the BlueStacks Android app) then set as your default home. Once you have done that you can open Launcher Pro trough the gadget at any time.
Then open Eclipse go to your "Device Manage" tab and under "Android Remote Device" add a new entry like this:
Name: (whatever you want to name it)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
And you are done! BlueStacks is WAYYYYYYYYYY faster to lunch apps that the regular android emulator. I did a small app for testing/debug and it installed/lunch/debug just fine on BlueStacks.
I cant for the life of me find the device manager could you explain how to get it to appear?

On the Eclipse menu go to:
- "Window", "Show View", "Other..."
- Then type on the entry text box "Device". It should show under the "Sequoyah" folder.
Today I notice that it automatically added "localhost:5555" under "Android Remote Device" next to my manually added entry and the Eclipse DDMS Console was giving me some errors. I restarted BlueStacks and everything seems to be ok now (the automatic added entry is gone now and no more errors too). Lucky that a BlueStacks restart is SUPER fast!

I don't found Device Manager in Android Remote Device in Eclipse, anyone can help me some guides ?
Hi,
how do you install your homemade app for testing/debugging (need official certificate) ? Your bluestacks player seems to be windowed ? how do you make that ? thanks...
Hello!
I'm an artist on an Android project and have very little knowledge on the technical side of things.
Any chance you could expand this how-to a bit more in-depth, as I have trouble even finding "Device Manager" and don't know what Launcher Pro and ADW do and where to find them.
I'd really appreciate it!
It really works! Great! Thanks.
I struggled over this for an hour, because I could not see Device Manager tab in Eclipse. So i downloaded MotoDev Studio (It is SDK + Eclipse + all plugins needed) and now i run bluestack smoothly
More precise way to do this:
1. Download and install BlueStack
2. Download and install MotoDev Studio (Its free)
3. Download Launcher pro or ADW launcher .apk
4. Right click on the .apk, select "open with", "Browse"
go to C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks (for 64bit system)
or
go to C:\Program Files\BlueStacks (for 32bit system)
and select HD-ApkHandler.exe
Launcher should be installed after a moment.
5. Open MotoDev
6. select Device Managment tab
7. Right click on Android Remote Device and click New...
8. Name it like you want, for example "BlueStack"
9. fill Host and Port boxes with
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
10. Click OK
Now everything should work. You can close MotoDev and try to open BlueStack and then select Launcher. Now bluestack is fast as native android device and games run smooth Thx to riveraju
Must come back here when I have time to read lol thanks a lot for this man. I installed the ask last June and still haven't gotten the emulator to work XD

Is this still a working method? I'm using a Mac and have just downloaded Bluestacks but I can't even connect to it through adb nor it shows up under my device list.
Any other method to debug my app through Bluestacks with a Mac?
Do you Any tricks to emulate system apps?
Sent from my Nokia 3210 using xda app-developers app
Hey guys,
so I installed BlueStacks as I already had Eclipse installed and "kinda" followed the guides to this method.
I start Bluestacks player and then I start eclipse and look at the device tab and see this after opening Blood Brothers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lja2rj4wziycsgq/eclipse.png
Many players say that it should be faster after doing this but I see no difference to playing without Eclipse. Am I missing something, a command or something? Or is that all there is, Eclipse is now connected and running with Bluestacks?
fios
Good stuff, it sped it up just barely to handle the verizon fios mobile tv app. now i can watch live tv on my laptop
is there an alternative to this like regitry hack? I mean I have to download Eclipse or MotoDev which is around 200 mb of size just to put this trick?

Instead of searching for device management tab you can simply enter
adb connect 127.0.0.1
after starting bluestacks...
bluestacks certificates
Have you managed to install new certificates on Bluestacks ? Seems to me like Security/Credential Storage menu is completely missing as well as other features. I understand that this is just an emulator but we need many other features for development.

Root and ROM for Chinese S810 S820 T9199+ MTK65x3 and other phones

If you have bought one of these phones from eBay or wherever as I did you will probably be struggling with all the annoying Chinese stuff (unless your Chinese of course) and trying to root and ROM it.
It is NOT possible to brick the MTK65x3 chipset phones so don't worry about breaking it if you have one of these. Some people are saying they have 'soft bricked' their MTK65x3 phones but that is only because they do not have the correct software to do what it is they are trying to do.
There is another method posted on XDA by a chap (or chapette) called 'bn' someone or other but I personally found it a very long winded, badly explained and difficault tutorial. I in no way am suggesting that 'bn' is not professional, he likely knows much more about this stuff than I but I didn't find he was very 'layman' friendly for us folke that need more detailed instructions.
If your reading this 'bn' I mean that with total respect and have a tool I have found called 'MTK ROM Studio' that I was hoping you may be able to help teach us how to use correctly to backup and modify our ROM images.
If anybody wants to ammend or correct anything I write here then please feel free to do so if you are sure of your method. I am not an expert at this but I can tell you how to easily do the following with software I am posting.
1. Root the Chinese MTK phones.
2. Install Uncle_Tools which is simular to Clockwork (CW does not work on some or all of these phones).
3. Uninstall all Chinese stuff from your current ROM at the touch of a button.
4. Download your own scatter.txt from your phone.
5. Download your own firmware information text document
6. Install BusyBox
7. Install Superuser
8. Backup your current ROM to your SD card.
9. Change IMEI 1
10. Change IMEI 2
Download the file I have posted at the bottom of this page and extract (Run) the 'MTKdroidTools_v106.exe' setup file.
The other file, 'ROM Studio' is for those that feel confident in using it to develop some ROM mods or whatever that they will hopefully let us know about. I am not going any further into that without help.
Open the MTKdroidTools folder and start (double click) the green MTKdroidTools.exe icon.
Don't be alarmed that some of the text is mumbo jumbo, just ignore it and read the English bits! I have converted some of the original Russian text to English but if anyone can clean it up please feel free.
In some or all cases (sorry I'm not sure) it may be required for you to pre-flash the recovery.img first. You may as well do this anyway and I have included everything you need in this file MTK65x3_Recovery_Flashing.rar (Sorry I no longer have this software)
The pictures explain it all. I hope this helps you out somewhat.

"The investment isn't possible for downloading! the mistake stands out:" I have been working with computers for years and never seen that before!
Are you sure your not using some naffy download manager as the link works fine when I click it.
If your trying to download this on your phone then don't, this is a Windows application that accesses your phone over USB
This mistake arose in Mozilla Firefox 12, Google Chrome 19, Internet Explorer 9, Opera 12 (computers). I suspect that a problem simply in the file name????

Sorry your quite right, a corrupted archive. I have uploaded it to my own website so please try again, it should be fine.
Also I have tried some of the other ROM's for download on here and they are not as good as the pre-installed one on mine. In my opinion your better off just deleting the chinese crap and tweaking your existing ROM.
Oh and I have mixed boot images and data files from different ROM's loads of times and black screened my phone but easily got it back again so I guess you really can't brick these! That's a first for me!
Thanks! Now everything managed to be downloaded!
Hi,
I think by 'bn' you'are talking about BM (Bruno martins, a portugues guy), who posted his work on:
- his website
- eten users forum
I already root my s820 using Unlock Root and installed SuperUser, But wanted to try you proposition, to remove chinese applications...
... but when I download your .rar, "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" cannot be executed.
Am' I the only one who cannot launch it ?
Another think:
It exists a update.rar rom for T9199+ devices on the web:
(see on talkingmobi.com/?s=T9199&x=0&y=0, click on T9199 link, then click on the green button)
According to the date release (2011-10-28), I think this is the original rom of our devices.
The Droid Tools is a "7z.SFX.exe" which is basically a self extracting 7zip archive. You should be able to right click it and extract it with WinRar as I can. If not install 7zip and open it with that.
I have just downloaded my upload, extracted it and ran it and it works fine for me.
Droid_Tools_s810_s820_T9199+.rar
You're right : the second try was the good one !
I launched "MTKdroidTools" and created my scatter.txt
After test, It seems that the Root-Shell is obligatory to launch at each session to allow Device access,
But for me, like on your screenshot, the buttons "delete chines apps", "backup" etc... are not clickable...
(see image below)
I already test an other way to make a backup (by the recovery), but it appears several error messages:
"Error: names longer than 100 chars not supported"
is there an other mean to backup our device (perhaps TitaniumBackup... ) ?
Hmm... That's new!
You won't be able to use the Remove Chinese App's / Backup etc untill your phone has sucessfully rooted which is why those buttons are not clickable.
What I can think of to check so far:
1. Have you got USB debugging enabled? If not then turn it on and try again.
2. Pre-Flash the recovery.img by following this and don't forget to install the included drivers! Recovery_Flash as I did that before using this software.
Let me know how you get on!
I have just noticed that the scatter.txt included in my Recovery_Flash link is formatted slightly differently from the one in the phone. Maybe that is why the root works after, I dunno!
It's all Right !!
I had already :
- enabled USB debugging
- pre-flashed the recovery.img proposed by BM
So I just pre-flashed recovery.img using my new scatter.txt (which indeed is a little different that the one proposed by BM)... AND IT RAN ! (see image below)
Asta la vista Chinese App's & hello backup !
I found the original russian post where this "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" has been proposed; it seems that it will still evolve... !
Cool, glad u got it to go bud.
Drop me a 'Thanks' if you would
Phill.

Here is the tutorial for that.
problem
I have the s820 and I have done the procedure many times to install recovery. Writes ok in the end. I press power + vol+ and not start anything. When you start to retrieve the letters seem too little and the screen is black. I can not make any choices.

[Root][0.7.2.751]Root bluestacks beta - 1 by moh erbil (0.7.2.751)

ROOT BLUESTACKS BETA-1 (0.7.2.751)​
HEY GUYZ, HERE IS A VERY EASY WAY TO ROOT BLUESTACKS BETA -1, BUT THE ONLY DISADVANTAGE IS THAT IT WORKS FOR ONLY VERSION 0.7.2.751.....
I HAVE TESTED THIS METHOD OF ROOTING AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FOR ME AND WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH ALL OF YOU.
THINGS THAT YOU ARE GONNA NEED
1. FILE SPLITTER/JOINER SOFTWARE- DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE AND INSTALL IT.
2. THREE ROOT FILES THAT YOU HAVE TO JOIN LATER USING THE ABOVE SOFTWARE.
DOWNLOAD THESE THREE. Remember that all the below three files should be in one folder.
ROOT.001
ROOT.002
ROOT.003
The password for the above files is : erbil. Thnx to Riyal for reminding me about the password.
METHOD OF ROOTING
1. Open File Splitter/Joiner Software and select the tab "JOINING" and click on the adjacent button showing "1".
2. Here you need to select the file Root.0.7.2.751.001 i.e. the first file you have downloaded and then click on join button and wait for it to complete.
3. After the completion of the above process, you will find a new Root.0.7.2.751.7z file in the same directory as the part files.
4. Open this and extract the Root.fs and README.txt file.
5. Stop all the BlueStacks processes form the TASK MANAGER
6. Copy the ROOT.FS file to (Windows 7) C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android. OR in (Windows XP) and C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BlueStacks\Android
7. After this RESTART BlueStacks and you will have the root access.
For sure check it with an app like Root Checker.

Mounting /system as Read/Write was possible in this one (Look at the screenshot below). Looking further to get it fixed on other versions too.
HERE ARE SOME SNAPSHOTS OF IT.......

Check it with Root checker whether your Bluestacks is rooted or not!!!
Okay, you were able to mount system as r/w, but I can't edit build.prop. What should I do? Would you like to help me?
When I type in adb console - adb root - it says that adbd is restarting as root - and that's all.

Slowdown!?
I've follow your instruction and my Bluestacks is now rooted. Thank you for that.
But after it had been rooted, it pretty slow itself down. Do you guys have experience this incident?
Could anybody help me out!?
Thanks in advance
Best regards
I'm at step 6 and encountered one problem when copying the root.fs, it says "the action cant be completed because the file is open in HD-BlockDevice.exe". I have also opened task manager and closed all programs starting with HD. Any help would be appreciated!
bluestacks v-(0.7.7.813)
how to root bluestacks version 0.7.7.813
Help!
I had 0.7.3.763 installed (and working). I wanted to try an app that needed a rooted version; so, I uninstalled 0.7.3.763 preserving user data and apps. I ran Eusing Free Registry Cleaner. I then installed 0.7.2.751 according to your instructions. When I came to the step of replacing root.fs, Windows (Vista w SP2) said the file was in use by another program -- even though the processes had been killed as instructed.
So, I rebooted in safe mode and still could not delete the original root.fs. So I rebooted into safe mode w command prompt and was finally able to replace the original root.fs.
One other thing to possibly be aware of... I have an older laptop; so, when I install BlueStacks, it tells me that it is installing a low res version.
The root.fs created by the install is 196083712 bytes. The replacement root.fs created by the above process is only 171966464 bytes.
After restarting windows into normal mode, BlueStacks just hangs on the Loading... screen. If I put back the original root.fs created by the Bluestacks installer, it runs fine, but is not -- of course -- rooted.
Thanks a lot root now works on my bluestacks running Win 64 bit
I'm a happy Droid now!!
Regards
