Hi,
I downloaded on the Market a free app, but it's a protected apk.
I'd like to modify this apk to change the language of the app.
Is it possible ?
Thxs.
Sure. classes.dex file was separated from resources, so you have to merge them. And if it was odexed, then you have to deodex it. Not a big deal.
Thanks. I gonna to try this.

Greetings,
we're workin' in a "translation team" for android's apps and want know if there is anyway 2 pack n sign only the patched part of an apk... i mean, pack only "value_xx" folder. Any1 know?
Thanks u very much
No, this isn't possible. You have to decode this apk and then add your modifications.
Thanks so much!
so i am trying to add the notification toggles mod to my r800x and i have found the files from the mod to do so. but when i add them to my stock SystemUI.apk apk manager will not add them i have tried time and time again and when i decompile what i modded its the same as stock except smaller due to compression. i dont know what im doing wrong and if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
i have attached the stock systemui.apk as well as what needs to be added to it.
use 7 zip?

wont work it needs to be decompiled edited and recompiled. 7zip wont allow you to make the modifications required. but apparently apk manager only allowsyou to edit files not add brand new ones, so unless someone else can figure it out us r800x owners yet again get shafted.
Hi everybody
I'm looking for "how to change the default apps and wallpapers on mediatek devices" in order to make my own custom ROM.
For default apps, I tried to put .apk files in /system/app, and created a backup using MTKDroidTools, but it didn't work (like the MX Player apk file). Can someone help me for this.
Also I couldn't find how to replace defalut wallpapers in my stock ROM.
I have a iNew i2000 (MT6589)
Thanks
for that you have to put .so files in system / lib folder...btw putting apps like mx player is not a good idea.... as user can install them... it just make rom bulky...

To change default wallpaper you have to edit framework-res.apk, and replace defaultwallpaper.jpg
To change wallpapers in launcher you have to edit Launcher2.apk, and replace wallpaperXX.jpg and their thumbnails for your dpi
To add apps, put them in /system/app, and if it contains any lib in apk package (check it using 7zip or winrar), extract it and put inside /system/lib/

You don't need to sign systemui.apk because it is a activity automatically started by your device... Just push it to your device.... Any errors just reply!
And here are some cool editing tutorials:

First decompile a android app with apktool,after that u can easily edit any .xml file with notepad++ without any language problem.
If u extract an app.apk with winrar,7zip...etc or any android app like esfile explorer,zarchiver....etc then u can't edit .XML file & u face language problem.
So, decompile apk with apktool & then edit .XML files.
How to decompile apk, just Google it.
Thanks:
Yes! THANKS DUDE
