[RELEASE] Metamorph - Theme Control File Upgrader

Stericson have a new Metamorph App.
It uses xml theme control files instead of the old thm files.
danation from the ModMyMoto forum has made a program, that updates the thm file to the new xml format.
It works very very well.
Please at all themers:
Use the Pro Version, use the new Metamorph with xml. Upgrade your Morphs with the xml files. Its not many work for you, but you can help us themers and users if you do this.

Thanks, danation, thanks stericson! Great work!

Today, stericson has changed the free version to the new format, too!
Please upgrade your themes, themers!
So there are no chaos to the community!

I love it! thanks bro

I have noticed the themes are not working now... people need to update the themes they created... please??

Contact your theme developer.
I'm in the process of upgrading mine to the new XML format right now.
If the theme developer is no longer around you will have to either obtain and use a copy of the old metamorph app or use the conversion tool to convert the .thm into a .xml file before use.

After using the tool I can say it works, but I can think of a few ideas to make it easier. First of all, is there any CLI support? The GUI is a bit annoying. Also, the ability to drag+drop a .thm file right on the window and have it output the .xml converted file in the same directory would be just awesome.
All in all, Great work. It saves me from manually creating new .xml files for all my old .thm files.

this is a great tool that makes it super easy to change .thm files to xml. If only all the idiots on the market giving metamorph bad reviews could read this. Not hard to do it yourself if the theme dev is not around...

I don't really know, why themers out there have used the free version and didn't donate stericson for his hard work!
We know since three weeks, that the thm file become changed to the xml file
And now there is the chaos, because there are a lot of guys, who didn't read instructions.

Perhaps worth noting in the original post that this is an app for Windows. I assumed it was an Android app.

Its a Java app wrapped in an exe container for windows.
The release .zip also contains the .jar file that can be run on any desktop OS.
Command:
java -jar ThemeControlFileUpgrader.jar

I don't have said anything about an app. And if you have java installed at your home computer, theres no problem.
Or where do you see a problem?
P.S.: I have now 618 downloads of the themefilepatcher and everything is fine.
I think, danation has done a real good job!

Thanks for posting this thread, Formel-LMS
I have an update:
I would post a link, but how do I get this taken off, lol?

Drag and drop is a good idea. I haven't tried that with Java before. I'll see what I can do.
What is CLI support?

I think be means this.
If it accepted a file/path as an argument then you would not need drag-and-drop...just create a batch file that used %1 and you drag the .thm file on it.

Nice to see you here, danation.
Thank you very much for this great option and the support!!
You must write some posts to have the permission to attach some files. I don't know why, but at xda is it so I think.

Oh, I see now. I'm not really planning on adding command line functionality, unless a lot of people really want it a lot.
But drag and drop sounded good, so I added it to 1.2
Version 1.2 can be found at the "original thread" link at the beginning of the thread.
-1.2-
* Drag and drop feature added (I borrowed some public domain code found at sourceforge) Tested on Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Should work on Mac and Kubuntu as well.
* Option to disable dialogs

I keep trying, but XDA still gives me a message that I'm not verified by the forum moderators.
I attached it to this post, though.

This is the final version, unless there are any bug fixes needed.
Included in the download is an executable JAR file that will work on any operating system that has the Java Runtime Environment installed (version 6 or later.) Windows, Mac, and most Linux Distros will be able to run this program.
An equivalent EXE file was also added for the convenience of Windows users.
Original download location at M3 is here.
The latest version is also attached to this post.
-1.3-
* Drag and drop directories - All .thm files in the directory and all subdirectories will be converted. Other files are ignored. You can convert all of your themes at the same time

LG KDZ Crawler [UPDATE]

sorry for my english, i´m a kraut
some people will remember my snooper i published in the ICS/JB-Thread.
I wrote a php-script the crawls the lg-servers for firmware. short introducing for a long time work
you can test it in action at: LG-Firmwarescanner Beta
what my script can do for you:
- search for fw´s for your LG-model (LGP920, LGP880, LGP920H, LGP925, LGP970, LGSU760 for now)
- search for specific version (froyo, gb & ics, ics only)
- search for final and beta firmwares, custom-folder needed for beta (useless until no folders a know so far)
- search for VxxA-VxxN & VxxA-VxxP (VxxN is quicker)
- write every found file to a txt-file
- zip&mail the txt-files
- upload the txt-files to a ftp
- write the results to mysql
- list the results from mysql
- download the kdz when a V29x is found
a readme and an english-version will follow.
note: the script runs "for me" in my own home-server/xamp. if somebody finds the reason for non-working on hosted-server, pleas let me know.
screenshots in attachment
requires a php5-environment, unrar the content to a folder with 777 permissions
beta6:
bugfix
example added, rename config.example.php to config.php
NEW SERVER ! [EDIT: old server again, script killed the 3rd server in a row

I don't see why we need more than one person running this script.
Sent from my phone.

Configuration
sorry for my english, I need an example configuration of your script on xampp, you can?

make sure the folder you put the files is has permissions 0777.
click the three boxes "deaktivieren" and click "Speichern"
here is an example-config, extract the two files and start index.php

thank you
thank you very much for your help! another thing on your site: http://wittgenstein.homeserver.com/P920 not performing the scan of the beta versions.
Edit 13:09 : sometimes does not work scan for beta ! anyway good job really !!!

when you scan for beta you need a custom folder, without folder no scan

Do you know some folder ? Is there a tip to find there folders ?

No custom-folder for the 920 is known so far. bruteforce ist useless

I know this will be an exteme solution and would literally take days and not even sure if it will work, but can you make a script which automatically runs generated custom-folder to try and find a beta file, ie from aaaaaa to zzzzzz and 1-9, and it saves what it has already searched by any user . so it starts from aaaa and then moves aaab , but it saves that its already searched aaaa and so if someone else tries it starts from aaac, if that makes sense. Then as a community we can continue running the script
let me triy to explain with an example below
so the script starts at custom-folder
aaaa --then completes the set (28,29,30,31) then moves to
aaab --then completes the set moves to
aaac --then completes the set moves to
aaad---and lets say that user decides to close the script. but another user comes along and wants to run the script, instead of starting from
aaaa ---the script saves the folders which have been serached and its starts from
aaae

great idea, but already done
http://weiko.mygigahost.de/LG/brute.php
all custom-folders seems to be 10 caracters, capital letters mixed with numbers

well ive got it running lol, but does this look for the folder only, or the whole file like a kdz, because i think if its searching just the folder it will never be found, since it still shows a "connection" when you try to look for a folder that you can download a kdz from , i could be wrong,
ie: lets say when you try this link it'll download the file http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AHASML/V20e_00/V20E_00.kdz
but when you try link below, it always shows not found
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AHASML/
or is that how it works with the beta folder?

Try again: http://weiko.mygigahost.de/LG/brute.php
when my script tries to access an existing folder, answer is: HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed, because indexing is off
when it tries to access an unexisting folder: HTTP/1.1 404 Not found
my script dies, when it gets an 405-answer.
[edit]
the script writes every folder to database and take another folder when its found in database
but, i said it already, it´s useless.
26 possible letters + 10 possible numbers = 36
10 letters per folder = 36*36*36*36*36*36*36*36*36*36 =
3.656.158.440.062.976 combinations

try this
delete latest slash

oh right, and then we can then plug it into the "custom-folder" and search it there , that makes sense. So do you, as in you , actually see if there is a 405-answer, or is it recorded, if it ever finds one?? you know just in case someone does run the script and comes across a 405-answer, but doesnt know where to go from there
i got 405 on http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/RNDTESTSW/LGP920/NEU/ , but it doesnt show which cutom- folder it came from

for now, it writes every 405-folder in database too, marked as 405 .

yeah it would be ridiculouslytime consuming, but theres no other way..yet
Are you able to put it onto a online server which continues the process, so its always running??

[APP] Subversion

All,
Please find the attached native Windows RT binaries for Subversion 1.8.0
Also feel free to give the binaries a try by checking out the following:
svn checkout http://windowsrtdev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ windowsrtdev-read-only
I'll try to keep the SVN repo up to date. I'm happy to take suggestions for a layout/tree structure to keep things easy to manage for my fellow XDA members!
Cheers!
EDIT: fixed missing binaries... sorry! please re-download 'rel2'.

That would be an incredibly useful tool to a software developer on RT. Nice one :good:

I'm hoping it can be more than that.
It would be nice to get to a point where we can maybe leverage svn as a software repo and provide easy access to app ports, libs, etc. Also would make getting updates much easier. If we could wrap this and the jailbreak with some batch/perl scripts we could have a completely functioning "app store" (so to speak) to help improve the access to Windows RT desktop apps.
Cheers!

Yeah I can definitely see svn contributing towards a "homebrew" store.

Hello, thanks for the port! We use subversion for several things at work, so this could be very useful. I haven't been able to get it to run though.
I extracted the archive (using Ark on linux instead of 7zip), and copied the files to C:\Bin\subversion_1.8.0_arm\
Running svnversion.exe I get an error "the program can't start because libapr-1.dll is missing...". So I renamed libapr.dll to libapr-1.dll. I then get a similar message "libaprutil-1.dll is missing...". Renamed libaptutil.dll to libaprutil-1.dll. Then I got a message that libapr.dll is missing, so I made a copy of the renamed libapr-1.dll back to libapr.dll. Then I get a very different message:
"The procedure entry point apt_atomic_xchgptr could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Bin\subversion_1.8.0_arm\libsvn_subr-1.dll." This dll does exist in this location.
svn.exe gives an error "The procedure entry point apr_array_clear could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Bin\subversion_1.8.0_arm\libsvn_fs-1.dll".
Other exes give other similar errors which I can copy down if it'd help. I figured svnversion.exe and svn.exe would be good examples.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I thought it'd be fairly straightforward, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks!

There you go. But wrong section, post questions HERE in future

Cannot get GDI to CHD converter to work
I cannot get above converter to work. I unzip, open "Dreamcast GDI to CHD" app, point source folder to folder containing all .bin and .gdi files for a single game, specify CHD destination folder, click Convert, and then get a "Batch operations complete!" message. However, a CHD file is never created. Have tried on Windows 7 and 8. What am I doing wrong?

hmm you might need to launch as Admin...or maybe you removed short file name support from windows.
Maybe I'll sit down and update the script...if I don't already have an updated version laying around here...it's been a while since I wrote it.
** Update **
Yeah even I ran into issues with it.
I've updated the script massively...cleaned up the original...got it down to about half the lines of code...and working better...then threw that out the window and decided to have some fun...so went from around 100 lines to 600. (Original was about 200 lines) Anyways lots more features...that you probably don't want or need...and more prone to breakage.
hmm can't share the link to the update...oh well...I'll put it up else were and maybe you'll stumble upon it.

Need help modifying an APK

Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this I just registered to the forum!
To keep it short I am a frequent player of the game 'Idle Heroes' and I got the idea to take the APK, modify it (for private use of course) and give me resources in the game so I can try out different heroes etc etc.
So I read up on the APKtool and all that but I am having some trouble, I can't find the framework I need.. I am just getting errors when trying to decompile and I can't find any framwork in my phone or online to download..
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
If it's any help I have a Galaxy S9 (not rooted)

For apk tool you need to write it in the following format in command prompt... (assuming you are using apk tool 2.2.4)
Java –jar apktool_2.2.4.jar d C:\<path to apk file>
But this would give you stuff like the android manifest. If you want the raw source code itself, you would need to use something such as dex2jar. Format is below.
d2j-dex2jar.bat C:\<path to apk file>

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I'm still struggling.. As you said it's the source code I am after. If you haven't played the game I'll try to explain what I am after.
Every day you get daily missions you can do, I'd like to simply change the rewards from let's say 1 summoning scroll to 1000 so that each day I can get 1000 scrolls, and I also want to change the other rewards to give me a couple of thousand gems instead of the 20 I get each day, that will give me enough to get the heroes I am after!
Would you care to help me a little more specifically on how to achieve this? Right now I have put the .apk in "C:\android\apktool" along with the apktool itself (apktool.jar).
But I don't have a .bat file, what kind of .bat file do I want to create? Also I don't have any other folders or such. And yes I have the newest version of Apktool!
No matter what I write in CMD it gives me an error, I don't have any framework files etc and I don't know where to get them.. I did also use the code you gave me (java -jar etc etc) but it also gave me errors .. If you'd like me to try something else and/or post the errors here I'd gladly do so!
Sorry for being such a noob but I have never done anything like this before, I recently started learning C++ but it's mainly simple games (for PC) in UE4 and stuff like that, but nothing for mobile.
Thanks a lot for your time!
