The program for sms backing up has a major glitch in it. (I have attached the version of the program that I am using now.
The current version 2.1: (I'm using the windows mobile 6 version)
http://www.godswmobile.com/
Its a trial until you pay for a registration code and limits the number of messages you can transfer to 20.
[[THE IMPORTANT PART]]
BUT (and I would like people to test and make sure this isnt just my phone)
if instead of using the provided menu when it asks you to enter your registration code, you just press the "ok" in the top right corner, it bypasses the registration and allows you to back up your entire sms database.
Anyone who is willing to test this program for this glitch, please do and post back here and let everybody know if the problem exists in all handsets or if it is just my particular phone, thanks.
This thread is not an ad, I have modified the original post to appear a lot less like an ad and more like a problem post.
Just tested it and yup it lets me back everything up without supplying a key.
Backing it up to a txt file means I can even read them on the PC, ideal for historical archiving.
Update: new version v1.7.1.0 is available in Android Market. It comes with several improvement and bug fixes:
Automatically use the last result as the first operand if an operator is the first input in normal mode. For example, after calc an expression, 2+3, we get 5 as the result. Now the expression box is empty and user press a + button directly, the last result 5 will be added as the first operand and the expression looks like: 5+. If there is no last result, 0.0 will be added.
Minus sign is supported. Now user can press - to add a minus sign before an operand. The following expression is supported now: -5+3 In order to add the last result for -, user need to long press the – button.
The default n-th of a root operator is a Square root. In the earlier version, the n-th of a root operator can not be omitted. It must be written as x√y. Now if the n-th (x) is absent, the operator will be recognized as a Square root operator. It is easier for some common usage.
In some scenarios, you need to do a serial calculations that only the numbers are changed, but you have to input the whole expression again and again.
You need a calc supporting variables which represent the numbers, so every time, you only need to input the numbers. You needn't to remember the formulas any more.
DaCalc is such a formula calculator. It supports composing a new formula, loading, editing, importing and exporting.

[Q]
Sounds really interesting. I visited the blog hoping to get more information but there really wasn't any :-(
Is there any way to get a complete listing of all the formulas it supports (comes preloaded with)?
Will the list of formulas be updated from version to version?
Can users enter their own formulas to be saved?

Yes, that was the whole point of this
I couldnt download it could you make another way of doenloading it plz
So why does this need to know my location, go online, read my phone state, or access my SD card?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure a simple calculator doesn't need all that. No thanks.
Those permissions are usually asked by ads.

Read Phone State is either because minSdkVersion isn't set, or its set to before that permission was added (Android 1.5 or so), so it's included automatically.
new version updated. Hope you like it!
A program to organize todo's/tasks in a treeview form.
It's an Android version of Abstract Spoon's hierarchical ToDoList program:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5371/ToDoList-6-4-Feature-Release-An-effective-and-flex or http://www.abstractspoon.com
Use it to keep track of to do's or for project management. The outline can have as many sub-levels as you want, or the list can be viewed "flat".
The task list can be viewed in a Gannt chart in the desktop application.
Add, view and edit your list on your phone, then use the same list on your computer. If you put the file in your DropBox folder, it will automatically be synced.
Files are stored in user defined folders on the sd card (can use any level of sub-directory).
Integrates with File Managers, DropBox and Google Drive. However, files opened in Google Drive, cannot be saved directly.
Choose dark or light theme
Move item around with cut and paste.
List can be sorted based on due date (can also use calculated dates), category, title, completion or priority, risk, status, allocated to, or it can be unsorted.
Home screen widget shows tasks due today.
Set alarms and be reminded when your task is due.
Can be integrated with the Minimalistic Text Widget (if installed).
Completed items can be hidden from view.
Backup your file manually, or do it automatically every time there is a change.
Completed items can be hidden from view.
Notes are available from main list, and hyperlinks are clickable.
List can be filtered based on title, priority or due today (other filters will be added later).
List can be searched based on title.
Notes are available from main list, and hyperlinks are clickable.
Collapse/expand all.
Currently supports editing of these fields:
-title
-start date
-due date
-completed
-priority
-status
-category
-risk
-percent done
-allocated to
-notes
-recurrence
Future plans:
-Export as google task
-Receive text from other apps
-Native Dropbox sync
-UI improvements
Because this is a beta version, every time your list is saved, the previous version will be saved too (6 good backups are kept). (This feature can be turned off in the settings menu.)
NOTE: For people who have issues with the app:
- concrete suggestions would be appreciated
- errors: send me an email with the steps that caused the error. Some phones doesn't have any issues at all, so it's been difficult to pinpoint why others do.
Since the original desktop version of this program is constantly being developed, some of the features available on the desktop might not work on the Android version.
Uninstall:
Any list files stored on the sd card will be left after uninstallation.
LIMITATION:
If the notes field has more than about 8000 characters, the note field will appear blank.
If the file is big, it might take a while for it to load (it's also possible it will crash). Reported to be a problem on a file of 700kb (will have to do some more testing on this).
DISCLAIMER:
This is still being developed as a hobby, and is not a final version. It is being developed as I see fit, have time and am interested in doing it. THERE IS NO WARRANTY THAT THIS PROGRAM WILL WORK on your Android phone or tablet. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE IT MAY CAUSE.

Updated version
Sorry about the bug on the settings screen. I hope this is fixed now.
Some users have reported crashes on the main screen.
I would appreciate some more information on when that happens.
Hi,
Firstly just to say I am in love with the idea of this app, I use TDL on my desktop and would love to be able to sync those to my phone.
But the sync isn't working for me - here's what I'm doing and what errors I get, I hope this can help, would really appreciate any suggestions
I created a new to do list in the desktop version and made sure it was saved as a Tasklist (not unicode). My TDL program is already in my dropbox, so I created a rule in dropsync to sync the tasklist folder to a folder on my phone
When I open the file from the list in the mobile app I get 'No Items' and an error
If I add a task from the mobile version I get an error message on screen 'nextuniqueid=null'
I tried to sync the to do list back to the dropbox and open it in the desktop version, and I get this
The XML contains one line
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
Any ideas as to where I'm going wrong? If you need any more info please ask!
Thanks!
Jon
Thanks for the feedback and the fact that you report it here instead of sending an email . It would be great if everyone who has issues could use this thread, so everyone can benefit from any solutions I might have.

This is because the document wasn't created properly, and it's not possible to add to a nonexisting dom document. (which means I need to figure out why it's not created properly first).

Well, you are not doing anything wrong! I'm afraid it's a bug that I'm struggling with. I have fixed a few small issues, and will release an update today hopefully, but I don't think it addresses the issue you are having. I also realized that I had hard coded the sdcard in some places, although again, that shouldn't be the issue.
Here is my suggestions, questions to anyone who have this issue:
Does it happen for all the files or just some of them?
Try to change the encoding on both the desktop and the phone.
Can you create a list on your phone, edit it on the computer, and then read it again on the phone?
Can you put the file in a different directory and see if that works?
Also please note the android version you are running, in case that's the isssue.
For the people who don't have any issues (including myself), maybe you could let me know your android version?
I'm sorry, this seems to be a big issue, and it's taken a lot of time and more to come, so any help is appreciated.

It will take some time for me to go through the info you sent. The fact that you can't navigate to the external sdcard, I'm hoping will be fixed in the update later today.
Problems in Google Play with TDL Android
I were able to install the first versions of android TDL from android market, but now, when I try to install it from Google Play there is a mesage that says that it is not compatible with my htc wildfire S. It is not really compatible? can i install it anyway? How can i solve the problem? Thank you

That's strange. I haven't changed anything (as far as I know) that should have affected that.
I'm running a lower version of Android and it works fine.
Why don't you try the new version and let me know. In the meantime I'll do some more testing.
I have the new version, but I'm still not able to navigate to the SD card? Can you explain how it should work? This is what I see?

The list you see are all the (non-hidden) directories on the sdcard. If you have files in the root of the sd card, just click on the first blank entry.
If the directory has subdirectories, after clicking on the directory, you will have to enter the path to the file manually. I'm hoping to change that in a later version.
So assuming you have your files in a subdirectory called Tdl under the AbstractSpoonTDL directory, you select AbstractSpoonTDL and will be shown an input box where you would enter AbstractSpoonTDL/Tdl/
Hope this clarifies your question.
Can´t install`TDL from google play
What exactly it is said In google play Is: This aplication is not compatible with your vodafone HTC HTC Widfare S
And when i try to install it from google play web I just cant do it. Google play asks me to select another device to install it, and when i select my only device (HTC Widfare S) It says it is not compatible with my device.
May it has some relation with the fact that I rooted my device?

I assume you mean Wildfire S. According to the list on my developer console, it says the app is available for HTC Wildfire S (marvel). The only permission the app needs, is to write to the external card, which I assume you have?
The only unsupported devices shown are G1 and Touch Viva.
I've seen reports of compatibility issues if it has a big file, but my app is pretty small. I need to do some more research, but from what I've seen so far, it's a difficult issue to pinpoint.
When I have a stable version, I may attach it to the thread here.
The fact that your phone is rooted, shouldn't be a problem - mine is too. What version of Android are you running? Are you running a stock rom, with stock google play?

Cool, thanks, confusingly, on both my devices I have an internal SD card (internal memory) and an external one (the microsd card). So I see the root of the internal SD card. This isn't a problem for me, but didn't know whether it gave any clues about what as going on?
Also, I tried the app on my Xoom as well, and get the same error, which leads me to think its something to do with my desktop?
Thanks again, any other help I can be let me know?
Thanks!

Again, it's my app, not your desktop
One user reported that if the file was in a directory without space in the name, it works. You could try that.
But I do agree that the internal sd could be the issue.
From Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...onment-getexternalstoragedirectory-mnt-sdcard
"Actually, for some devices the getExternalStorageDirectory() will return localization for internal memory (internal SD card). The removable SD card is located as mount point below, usually getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/sd" or getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/external_sd".
Unfortunately, there is no standard for this and you won't know what kind of storage you are pointing at."
Which means at this point I don't have a workaround. But if it's the space-in-the name-bug, I'm hoping the next update will fix it.
Can you open the file from a file explorer on your phone?

Well, if it worked before the new rom, but not after, it could be related to the custom rom. I don't really know what else to suggest, since I didn't add anything that should not make it work. I have read that some custom roms, have these compatibility issue when there are screen size differences.
You could either try a different rom or contact the maker of the rom.
Sorry if I'm not more helpful!

APKSPY - RESURRECTED
First:
I want to thank @ido for the original application -- It was his idea (and his code I've hacked :cyclops and modified.
Second:
Since Ido seems not to be active anymore I'll re-publish the application here.
Unless for some reason Ido will specifically ask me to remove it.
The original post
ido said:
ApkSpy is a simple tool I hacked up tonight which allows you to easily view the manifest of an APK (screenshots attached - not up to date though) just by double clicking it. (It can even associate with the .apk filetype, yay!)
ApkSpy relies on the aapt.exe tool from the android SDK, so you must have that installed (or just copy aapt.exe from somewhere, that's the only file needed to run ApkSpy).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Third:
Requires Microsoft©® .Net Framework v4
(Kind of since I've done it some time ago and waited for Ido [the orignal developer] to respond and allow or disallow me to re-publish... So, I don't remember all the changes I've already done...)
v1.8.19 CHANGELOG:
Fixed some Date parsing function (zipped file with no time stamp) in ZipStorer (by @Jaime Olivares) maybe causing some of the error reported here...
v1.8 CHANGELOG:
Changed Icon - CONTRIBUTED BY @Jarmezrocks
Removed unneeded tabs (System, Batch Rename, Log)
Minimize / Maximized restored back
v1.7 CHANGELOG:
(Actually 4.1.7.870, but the first and the last parts are internally used :fingers-crossed:)
Try to automatically find adb.exe and aapt.exe in ApkSPY directory or in PATH variable: If failed finding any of the executables, the user is asked to manually locate them
(★ Currently the location is not saved... ★).
Check if the ADB server is running and Start or ask if to Restart ADB server
Tidy up the code
Refining the original libraries written by Ido related to ADB and AAPT
Some more minor code updates
Revised most of the "General" tab (other tabs ware not touched) of the UI:
Grouped and ordered controls on form
Added DropDown of devices attached (★ Not automatically updating upon plugging... ★)
Added some control over ADB actions
Added status bar that some other details are shown, e.g. device type (Nexus, I9100...), OS version (4.1.2, 4.4.2...) and OS build (KOT49H, KVT49L...)
Added (nice looking) information panel with clickable links (for actions on the form) and coloring
Other changes (I can't recall right now, since I've done it some time ago and waited for a response from Ido for permission to republish)
(★ Maybe I'll add an option for this later, depending on my -- not to much -- free time and requested by users .... ★)
Known bugs:
Sometimes ADB fails to return build.prop property for the status bar (however it has not caused any critical problem, so (I think) it can be safely ignored) -- haven't been able (yet) to find the exact state it is happening
Please take the time to look at the application ABOUT tab
Any Other ideas are welcome!
If you like it, Don't forget to Thank me
If you enjoy using this application as much as I have enjoyed re-writing it
please donate to show your appreciation

Hey dude,
I am not sure what you are doing wrong on your PC but it's certainly not the app as it works perfectly fine on my computer? Out of interest and for the sake or helping the new dev I thought I would raise a few points just to eliminate any finger pointing. There's a wishy-washy area when it comes to building/hacking things that were originally someone elses work...so yeah one can easily make great improvements yet open the door to bugs at the same time too. Anyway...thought I'd ask this:
Does aapt sit on your path? I know you said it is in the same directory, however just like a batch script in Windows it needs to "CD" or change directories to the %~dp0 if it is to understand what an executable is that happens to be sitting in the same directory as it's self. So this is is kinda directed at the new dev now. What I think is happening is that aapt is assumed to be in the system path when quite often it is not (i.e. those on XDA who have not yet played with the Android SDK properly). Put simply unless the application knows it is in the same directory as your executable it won't at all understand what aapt is. Does that make sense?
@dmagician , I would make sure that the apkspy app can do a check (even if it is a string search for the first few lines returned from aapt.exe), a simple if statement before throwing that error ....actually it would likely be an 'if not' statement. I don't have any of the code in front of me atm but I can help you out if you like? I was hacking this app myself sometime ago when ido first released it just using reshacker.
Note: If you are stuck and don't have source code you technically could write a full AutoIT wrapper for this app that could do all the checks and more and then bundle everything up into the one exe still. Check out the newer WinAPI stuff for AutoIT and in particular "Run binary" (yes that's correct you can just about run anything repackaged now and not need to deploy the original exe's or even libraries....they can all be stream fed to AutoIT @Compile time and need not be typically "installed" like you used to have to do. Anyway...I am waffling on shoot me a PM man.
@cmlx, to overcome your ApkSpy woes, and until dmagician can put his finger on what the cause is or what ido did when building it ages ago.....then you will firstly need to be patient (props to dmagician to figuring sh!t out so far) but till then where ever you have dumped the ApkSpy and aapt.exe on your system; just copy the address and put it on your system path. To do this 1) right click on My Computer or Computer if you are on Win 7 or 8. 2) Choose properties. 3) Advanced System settings and then at the bottom of tab you will see 'Environment Variables', click it and you will see some "User" and "System" options. Depending on your User access rights on the system you are running on (hopefully you are running as Admin surely?) then you can choose to edit your main system path or create a new variable in your user settings called 'path' Note User variables are always postfix to system variables but should always work anyhow.
Disclaimer: cmlx, if however you have already got an aapt.exe already existing on your system path but it is dodgy then you have to ensure that the good aapt.exe in your app directory is placed on path BEFORE the dodgy one....just sayin. Cause your system searches till it finds what it wants and then doesn't search anymore. Simple but can stuff people up quite often....and likely your case. Nowdays we tend to work from the known application location and not from a "Global environment path" when we know that there are going to be conflicts...and I can assure you that aapt is possibly the worst and most modified binary out there LOL. Hence this is also a note to the dev to ensure that ApkSpy reads from the current directory.....or like I am suggesting, wrap aapt up in the main application as well and that way there is no confusion EVER.
And I am done.....
Oh wait no I am not....sorry bug reports LOL :good: you thought I was all praise eh? Got another thing coming man
OK....so um the red boxes should explain everything. A picture says a thousand words (and yeah I needed at least 1 picture for this god damned long arsed post - sry). Um why in gods name would you remove the minimise and expand buttons? WTF? Anyway...it works but errrm yeah it doesn't wrap the text anymore? and it cuts the words off lol.
Other than that....I only really have one suggestion and it isn't even really a suggestion as I have kind of already made it so I can just give it to you if you want it? And that is that most people (well I can't say most as I am not speaking for everyone) tend not to like how apps take over their system. This isn't your fault at all in anyway as the first dev thought it was a good idea back then.....and back then hardly anything in Windows knew what a freakin apk was so it was a GOOD thing.....However now, every man and his dog wants to steel .apk extension for himself. I myself tend to be all over the shop with apks so I tend not to want to have any particular Windows app take it away from my control. I use WinZip as the main app for simple double click open as I want to see the contents of apks without needing to decompile them (great for theming) however I have apk shell extensions displaying the apks main icon to explorer, so if I set WinZip as default I get a nice lumping hunk of gold turd/box running rampet all over my Windoze bro ......so if you like I can show you my code that allows me to have default apps for specific tasks without interfering with anyones existing sh!t It looks neat too as you can right click any apk and just choose from a dropdown list what particular app you want at the time. If one has the need to use more apps then they need only put those apps in a list. There is nothing worse than double clicking an apk to find that Bluestacks or some other rubbish Windoze crApp has taken offf with your apk.
Lastly I thought I'd ask, Why no config file? Why store everything in memory? I know it's only small....but seeking for things everytime it is executed is a pain in the arse and not good practice. At the very least if you have no idea how to make an exe totally portable then you could reference a config file in the same directory....Or do as most do and write entries to the registry all neat and tucked away. If we get paranoid about "portable-ness" then we write to temporary space in the registry and make sure we clean up upon closing and/or inspect at runtime. simple!
I have plenty of AutoIT scripts that do exactly that too, so if you are stuck for ideas let me know. Anyway I have rambled enough, good luck and I will keep reporting bugs haha
Edit: That's waaaay too many emoticons. Oooops someone is a little high aren't they?
PS: I have attached my PNG of the icon I used for this bugger waaaaaay back....it's less generic and feel free to take it and abuse it and do as you please.

Yes, I know of this one (and I've specifically wrote about it in the OP), it is NOT related to AAPT executable but to the way ADB is acting (sorry, out of my hands... :angel:
Explanation
The error comes from the application when trying to query the "ro.build.id" property via adb ('ADB shell getprop "ro.build.id" ') command.
I've came across this one but cannot determine the exact situation it is happening (as it can occur when first launching of the app, but after the app is loaded, clicking on refresh does not show this error)...
[ I've tried it on with the (only) two devices I own (1st dev. is stock (only the kernel is changed) 4.4.2 Nexus 4, 2nd dev. is S2-i9100 with customized RR ROM)and it seems to happen ONLY on the S2...]
It looks that in times, the getprop is being executed before the whole "build.prop" is being processed by ADB (This one I cannot control since it is happening on the ADB shell side [running on the device] -- unless MAYBE doing some [UGLY] delay after first initialization of ADB, which is, by far NOT best practice of process handling according to the literature)...

Which came first, the "SpkSpy spy stopped working" or the "Error in property" (if anyways related)?
Was it on the same run or two different runs?
As of the 1st one:
I do not have enough information from your post to check it up...
I'll post a new version which shows the exception details
As of the 2nd one:
Can you send me a copy of your /system/build.prop (so i'll be able to dig trough it and check it)?
It looks like my name-value splitter character exist as part of a given value in your build.prop .
Wooow, Long one! But it is nice to know people are using (trying) it!
Jarmezrocks said:
Hey dude,
I am not sure what you are doing wrong on your PC but it's certainly not the app as it works perfectly fine on my computer? Out of interest and for the sake or helping the new dev I thought I would raise a few points just to eliminate any finger pointing. There's a wishy-washy area when it comes to building/hacking things that were originally someone elses work...so yeah one can easily make great improvements yet open the door to bugs at the same time too. Anyway...thought I'd ask this:
Does aapt sit on your path? I know you said it is in the same directory, however just like a batch script in Windows it needs to "CD" or change directories to the %~dp0 if it is to understand what an executable is that happens to be sitting in the same directory as it's self. So this is is kinda directed at the new dev now. What I think is happening is that aapt is assumed to be in the system path when quite often it is not (i.e. those on XDA who have not yet played with the Android SDK properly). Put simply unless the application knows it is in the same directory as your executable it won't at all understand what aapt is. Does that make sense?

Hi
As I've replied to @clmx, This error is not related to AAPT (either executable [location or whatever] or results), but to the ADB command being used...
Jarmezrocks said:
@dmagician , I would make sure that the apkspy app can do a check (even if it is a string search for the first few lines returned from aapt.exe), a simple if statement before throwing that error ....actually it would likely be an 'if not' statement. I don't have any of the code in front of me atm but I can help you out if you like? I was hacking this app myself sometime ago when ido first released it just using reshacker.

I do not need the Auto-IT to wrap these files (although I am using it for other automation in windows), as I can do it right in the C# code (on one of my early versions these files was embedded...)
BTW, I know there are some antiviruses out in the wild that do not like the embedded executables -- but it can be done -- and probably will save some time to anyone using this app...
If it will be required / asked, I'll embed the 4 binaries (AAPT.EXE, ADB.EXE, and two DLL's AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll [I'm not sure both are required]) needed by the application.

Ahh yes. I write long messages sometimes when my medication has kicked in and I am high....not my fault I kinda need to get all the info out of my head in one go while I am awake.....or else there would just be zeds on the response zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol :laugh: (ref narcolepsy).
I commend you on your efforts at responding to such gibberish and making good sense of it! :highfive:
I have responded to your PM accordingly, and hopefully covered all you need? I have attached all info and sources etc.....well most of it...actually a fair bit of it you will have to workout your self but that is part the fun. Shoot me any questions if you need to...although I have a feeling that you will have mostly all of it covered as you are streets ahead of my knowledge already. I may have misjudged a little in my previous post (although hopefully not to make you feel any less than you actually are? please excuse me if I had said anything that may offended - being naive or what ever....you ARE definitely on the right track). As for the middle menu....I think you could easily remove it and not offend the original dev. It wasn't being used as you mention...and I think it could make way for more/better functionality don't you think? (discuss). However I would ensure all the things I mentioned in my PM first before going too deep and releasing on here.
Good move on bringing the buttons back. They were functional. But I DO like the single button close GUI myself on just about everything else....It looks clean. We have similar taste in that regard. It just isn't functional for me to pressing the task notification desktop link everytime I want to minimise the app LOL.
The rest I we can discuss via PM, this is pretty much only posted here as an open area for other forum members to provide input and opinion (or complaint....like how often it usually is, eh?).

Feature Request
I use this tool for testing new APK builds on a project I am working on it. It allows me to quickly verify the version number and push to the device. However, since I am usually installing another version of an existing installed APK, I must manually uninstall before using APKSPY. Would it be possible to add a check box that would uninstall any previous versions? It would be really helpful.
Nevermind - I didn't fully read the message presented when it fail. It say uninstall/update and it allows the installation. HOWEVER, that brings up a question... Does it uninstall or does it update? There is a difference as you know.
Thanks,
Jonathan
Hi, I try to run this on Mac via Wineskin Winery, but no luck. Do I need something like .Net, or something else to run ApkSpy?
Thank you.

Yes I know there is difference between the two (update vs uninstall and install again).
It is updating the application (like using "adb install -r apk_file_name.apk"), not doing remove and install

The unneeded Batch Rename tab was the only tab I needed really. :laugh: Luckily I found Ido's original version. It's ideal for renaming all those apk's I downloaded and still have the package name when I back them up to my PC.
I have an Asus Memo Pad 10 and an Asus Memo Pad 7 and neither are recognised by APKSpy. Not that it's a problem as I have no problem copying to and from them with Windows Exploder or Total Commander.
Other than that, it's been a handy little app for this tablet/smartphone virgin newbie.

Hello.
1st:
I can -- if requested - re-add the Batch rename.
2nd:
I don't know why these two devices are not being recognized -- unless not being recognized by ADB itself -- since I'm spawning devices by parsing the resulting text of "ADB devices" command, So unless being unrecognized by ADB, there should be NO PROBLEM detecting ANY android device with ADB on...
if you have any exception messages thrown by the application, please post them here.

No need to re-add the tab just for me, but thanks for the offer. As I get to know my way around Android I'll probably need such things less and less.
Sorry, but I know nothing about ADB other than APKSpy needing it. As you can see from the attached pic, the Asus is recognised by Total Commander
Martin.
Hi dmagician,
Nice work, and a shout-out to Ido who originally created it.
I have a feature request:
Could you add the option to remove certain permission(s) and save the modified APK file?
There are many apps which I feel allow themselves way too much permissions, and this option could be very useful to tame them apps.
One more thing:
I noticed that APKSpy v1.8.2 doesn't work with the latest version of AAPT.exe (1432KB), from the Android SDK r24.
So I had to use a previous version of AAPT.exe (833KB), which worked.
Thanks,
Eric
Hey does anybody know where the name of the apk is in the XML files inside the apk?

Description:
==============
Quickly de-bloat, view full details & manage APKs on any Android device/emulator, no other app do/show all that.
Features:
==========
Easily know what app works on what device/emulator by comparing Android cpu architecture to the app's supported architectures (arm, arm64-v8a, x86, etc...), and also by comparing the minimum Android ver required to run an app.
Backup multiple apks at once.
Install multiple apks at once.
Quick-infos of multiple apks at once.
Disable multiple apks at once. (for Android >= 6.0 only)
Uninstall multiple apks at once, including system apps (for Android >= 6.0 only, this doesn't require root, it just uninstall it for the current user, use this to remove unnecessary pre-installed junkware/bloatware system apps).
Push/pull files/folders to/from your Android even when its on Charge mode or connected wirelessly.
Quickly search for a package name without waiting for the whole list to be ready. (really time-saving feature)
Displaying current WiFi & IP with the ability to connect to the Android device wirelessly, no other tool automates that that easy.
Infos mirrored/logged to Excel files by default, also you can save custom screen contents as columns to Excel file for later reference, simply press Alt + Space -> Edit -> Select All/Mark -> Enter -> then paste the clipboard in a text file but change the extension to .csv
APK names encoded in UTF8 text to Excel file format (for non-Latin letters like Arabic, Japanese, Russian, etc...), you can also use an advanced cmd emulator (like mini cmder, that can display these characters on console screen).
Requirements:
==============
Windows ADB drivers: there is no generic solution for all Android manufacturers, even Google solutions mightn't work for your device: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/oem-usb#InstallingDriver, also remember that Windows disables installation of unsigned drivers unless you enable it manually on Windows boot.
So the generic solution is: to get https://sdi-tool.org/SDI_Update.torrent we only need to select \drivers\DP_zAndroid_*.7z, maybe also DP_Telephone_*.7z, & maybe DP_MassStorage_*.7z for MTP or ADB if you use Windows XP, you can also try this solution if the previous didn't work.
.NET 4.0 (if you've Windows older than 8).
Enable "USB Debugging" on your Android device/emulator.

Thanks for sharing your project with us, you also seem to be a fan of emojis, right?
Well, the torrent is a collection of drivers called Snappy Driver Installer, it's almost the same as DriverPack Solution, both are trusted by thousands of people, but SDI has more features, flexible, and you can just update/download 1 driver when you want, not the whole pack, I don't think alot of people cares if the driver is signed by Microsoft or not as long as it works, does your solution covers all Android manufacturers ?
The phenomenal v1.4 update is here, why I say phenomenal ? well, I checked other similar adb-based tools on the web, and most of them are not just poor in functionalities compared to APK#, but paid/require donations to unlock very basic features, which is annoying.
For example, I didn't find any tool to automate the wireless connection between Windows & Android as easy as APK# (even awesome tools like https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy doesn't), also the tool does not make you wait to load all the packages infos anymore, you just use the Quick Search feature, and save your day.
Enjoy

So the generic solution is: to get https://sdi-tool.org/SDI_Update.torrent we only need to select \drivers\DP_zAndroid_*.7z, maybe also DP_Telephone_*.7z, & maybe DP_MassStorage_*.7z for MTP or ADB if you use Windows XP.

Yep, and future manufactures too if the drivers don't change too much. And it isn't around 130MB like those files that you suggest downloading by using that torrent.

Sorry for that delay, I was waiting for Softpedia to re-test/re-scan the update, I wanted the source of download to be them for additional trust, and to monitor the download count easily, now APKSharp v1.4 is ready. I also added your ADB drivers solution to the main post.

Okay, great, have to check what's this phenomenality is all about...
My driver package's phenomenality is maybe questionable but it usually does its ****...
Scrolling and filter issues
Overall appreciate your program. Very helpful and useful.
(Currently using ver 1.4 of your apk sharp program on the latest version of windows 10).
Having said this, there seems to be some issues with your program or perhaps
I am misunderstanding its use in certain places which hopefully you can clarify.
1. Is the “quick search” feature the same as your filter except it’s used at the very beginning to preclude the wait period as the app lines are created but then after that the filter is basically one’s search function?
2. Filter option issues:
Don’t understand how the filter works?
Example: If I type in the line number say 205 (of line 205; wuffy player etc.) no result is shown.
Any reason why typing in a number as my filter/search phrase won’t work?
If I type in “wuffy player” (without the quotes) a resulting line is shown as expected.
If I select the “wuffy player” phrase then do ctrl-c to copy then a ctrl-v to paste, its pasted correctly on the filter line but no result is subsequently shown so I am always forced to MANUALLY write in the search phrase which is NOT very helpful.
I even tried doing the ctrl-c OUTSIDE of your program using one of the csv files your program creates, and then tried the ctrl-v to paste in your program with no result. It is as if the ctrl-c or ctrl-v confuses your program.
I think you really need to resolve this because no one wants to always have to manually type in their search phrase every single time.
3. OR’s and ANDS’s in filter phrase – how to?
How do you do OR’s and AND’s with your filter? I tried “search phrase 1” “search phrase 2” (space in between, also tried commas, semi colons etc. in between the phrases) to execute an AND search but got no results.
For an OR’d phrase I tried “search phrase 1” | “search phrase 2” using the “|” as the separator and tried many other chars for the separator char but all yielded no results. Can you please explain how to do OR’s and AND’s when using your filter option?
4. Unnecessary scrolling of existing app lines:
After all the app lines are shown and one sorts say by name using option key ”1” for name, if one enters any char key like say “t” that is not a valid option key the entire app lines are unnecessarily re-scrolled which is quite annoying and provides no added value in doing so. The screen should remain as is with the invalid option char simply ignored.
Also, when a valid option key is pressed and its results are shown, the last valid char is seen on the line so if one backspaces which is a NATURAL user instinct to subsequently erase that char in order to select the next valid char option, all the existing app lines again get unnecessarily scrolled because the backspace just happens to be an invalid option selection char.
This is confusing because for a next valid selection to work, one needs to type in a valid option char at the same time a previous valid selection still remains on the line. This is not a natural user interaction.
Thanks

Overall thank you so much for this highly constructive feedback :victory:
1. & 2. "Quick Search" only searches for a package name (not app name) inside user/sys apps, so to search for "Google Play Store" app, you need to type any part of the package name which is "com.android.vending", so just typing "vend" will do the job.
"Filter" will search in the current cached list of apps for an EXACT phrase like: "cpu arch" or "app name" or "package name", so just typing "arm64-v8a" or "play store" or "vend" will give the same result, but you can't use more than 1 filter in the same time, so you can't say "play store arm64-v8a", you also don't need to specify a full word/phrase, just typing "sto" or "pla", is enough to get "Google Play Store".
3. Sorry if you get lost in this, the default filter is an EXACT phrase like I said above, if you find it necessary, I can add "OR" & "AND" filter later.
4. I've added a small update here to prevent apps relisting when an unsupported character is provided.
Please also note that with sorting, pressing the digits from 1 to 5 two times will reverse the sorting method (ascending/decending), so you can get the biggest/smallest app in size at the end by pressing '4' two times.
I'll add this in the main post later, thanks again and have a nice day.
Ooh, this looks like just what I needed to remove bloatware (without touching the necessary stuff). Two questions:
1. Does this work for a samsung galaxy s7 (G930T)?
2. How do I get started? (Instructions on how to use would be nice.)
Hopefully this works for my device (I tried using ADB to uninstall stuff, but kept hitting issues (and reset several times), so now it's sitting in a new (unopened) state. Important stuff is backed up before I started the uninstalling.

As long as
Code:
adb devices
detects your device, you're good to go.
1. It should work for any Android device/emulator, if you have an issue, let us know, screenshot it, etc...
2. Just follow the on-screen instructions and press the corresponding keys, maybe watch the video in the 1st post.
AHHH~
This worked better than I expected (especially the part where it lists the package name along with the file name). Also, thanks for color-coding everything! I can finally tell what something is, the file name, version, etc. It's also easier than using ADB for uninstalling, as it's just searching for the names, filtering with "6" + Enter, then uninstalling with "u" + Enter then the numbers with plus signs in between (e.g. 1+2+3). Much faster and simpler than "pm uninstall -k --user 0 [FILE NAME]" where [FILE NAME] is what the file name is (e.g. com.nimblebit.pocketfrogs for Pocket Frogs).
Now I can sleep without worrying to much...
I think one error is when I tried to undo uninstalling but it just gives "Uninstalled system apps:" then moves on as normal without the app being re-installed...
