[Help] BBC iPlayer HD Mod - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello, If you've used this app then you know how crappy the quality is, so I've been trying to edit the BBC iPlayer apk to get HD.
Here is what I did:
Decompile apk using v1.5.0
Then open this file: bbc.iplayer.android-1\smali\bbc\iplayer\android\webclient\SendPlayVO.smali
Then I go to .line 55 and .line 69 and see this:
const-string v0, "sd"
I changed it to:
const-string v0, "hd"
and compile the apk, send it to the phone. I then sign it using ZipSigner 2. After this it installs fine but when I open it, it just FC's.
Can someone help me please?
Edit: Added the Original apk in case anyone wants to try and Mod it themselves .

the apk i've uploaded in the op is unedited.
I've attached the edited apk to this post. Also the app lets you watch videos without going on the website so you can watch it inside the app.

never mind, I got it to compile without force close but its not as easy as I thought it would be to get HD, wasted to much time trying to get this to work, I give up. University started as well so I doubt I can get HD working even if I wanted to.
Mod can lock or delete this topic if you like

anybody get it working?

[MOD] AT&T LG G2 KitKat Smaller Navigation Bar and Disable CarrierIQ

Disclaimer: I typically modify to meet my own needs, on my own time, for my own device. This means that it might not be a mod meant for everyone, nor has it been thoroughly tested by anyone but myself. Use at your own risk.
Description: Modifies framework-res.apk in /system/framework to disable the loading of CarrierIQ on start-up as well as shrink the margins on the navigation bar for a little more screen real estate. This has only been tested and used on Stock AT&T LG G2 4.4 KitKat.
Link: https://db.tt/IoEgdIsr
Instructions: Back-up your current framework-res.apk in /system/framework then replace it with this one.
Notes:
CarrierIQ no longer shows 7 running processes via System Tuner on boot. To me, this indicates it is no longer being loaded. Otherwise, if you want, you can use System Tuner -> System -> Android System [Details] -> uncheck each of 7 CarrierIQ processes to do it manually.
This is a simple dimens.xml modification. Nothing major.
After replacing file with root explorer I went into a boot loop... Now I am afraid that I am going to have to completely restore my phone.
I know this is pretty straight forward but your file didn't work.
need to know if anyone was successful with this mod yet. do not want to go into a bootloop or force closes.
Also waiting for others to confirm this working first.
If only Xposed were working.
gonna flag this because it just crashes phones..... i just did it and i really dont think its funny.

Do not do it a full restore i needed after applying this so called mod>
---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------
i am actually kind of mad that this messed up my phone and took multiple tries to get into download mode. now i have to redo everything.
This work perfect for me, here how i did it
First backup my framework apk
second i copied the mod framework apk to system folder
then i set 644 permission for it
finally i move and replace it to framework folder
restart rightaway and it work
thanks OP for the mod file
btw maybe you should shrink the navbar a little less, it way too thin in my opion

This works great. Use root explorer and set permissions. Don't forget to make a nandroid backup if you can.
Download the apk from OP, then:
1. I copied over the framework after renaming it. (I just added a 2 at the end)
2. Then I set permissions (I just checked all the boxes... why not). At this point it would be a good idea to backup your original framework apk in case you want to restore.
3. Then I named it properly and over wrote the original (removed the 2)
4. I rebooted.
I somewhat disagree with the post above, I wouldn't mind it being a little smaller.
I am running this on the D800 running the androiduser's power user D802 base ROM.
@burningembers can you make one that will get rid of the volume and brightness sliders? Thanks!

the Navbar is fine in portrait but if you put the phone in landscape and you'll see the icon on it doesnt fix, it still ok but look amateur
Thanks heatshiver the nav bar smaller is nice. I'm still detecting Carrier IQ though .. Doing it manually with android tuner I would disable all of the items under android system? Thanks again bud
Edit: you probably already have this info but just in case or anyone else wanting to take a crack at totally disabling it (if possible)

thanks for this mod. I'll try this tonight after I flash the rom. I wouldn't mind a smaller nav bar too if you ever think of making another one.
This is a great mod, but remember that you cannot FULLY remove Carrier IQ from the ATT ROM. You can disable the services and prevent them from running which is what this does, and maybe it stops it all and maybe it doesnt IDK. But there is carrier IQ embedded into the UI code, the keyboard code, the messaging app code, etc. The only way to truly not have any Carrier IQ on your phone is to not run an ATT base ROM.
Thats weird cause i moved the framework mod into system/framework and set the permissions to rw--r--r and my screen started force closing and when i rebooted it stayed on the lg logo. Will try again later tonight
If you use adb you could push then reboot or if you're on a rom that has recovery you could create a zip.

It worked perfectly for me when I did it the way above. I also went back to the original framework using this method. I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but at this point just use xposed (the Chinese leak found in the general section) and the G2 xposed module. That's what I am doing and I have a small nav bar.
Don't be mad at us, we were just reporting something we did that worked. If a few of us got it working and you did the problem is somewhere on your end not ours. So don't blame us, we gain nothing from lying. It may just be the ROM you are using
EDIT: it appears they closed that Chinese xposed thread for some reason. You may want to check out why but here is the link to the apk http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mgFNFc8 I haven't had any issues but it may cause issues with the lg launcher. Use this at you own risk... Good luck

Installing default Video.apk for Marshmallow ends up - Video has stopped working

Device: SM-G920I
ROM name: [SM-G920/5F] NanoROM TWOSP 5.5.4 20160802 [PDP][Anti-Random-Reboot]
ROM version and base: 5.5.4 PDP
The ROM does not run a lot of default applications so I have ended up having to adjust and install certain .APKs including video myself. I have successfully installed S MEMO and set the permissions.
I attempted to do the same for the video.apk linked in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/themes-apps/app-request-stock-s6-video-player-t3161722 . However, after putting the app and appfolder in system/priv-apps/video and setting folder permission to rwx-rx-rx and apk permission to rwx-r-r, then subsequently rebooting, after the reboot the app crashes and doesn't work. can anyone provide me assistance in installing the default video .apk?

How Do I Uninstall a Wallpaper APK from my Pixel?

I downloaded an early version of Pranav Pandey's Pixel 2 wallpaper launcher for my phone, which is a Google Pixel, when it was in its' early versions. Now that the launcher had been updated, I wanted to get the new version so that the wallpapers would work instead of crashing. The first step says to uninstall any previous apk, but I can't find a way to do that. Is there a way to remove the old version in order in order to make way for the new version, and if not, is there another way to do it?
Here is a link to the post with the instructions and application I'm talking about:

I faced a similar problem but the best I can do is disable the wallpaper app( since I have a pixel ) and that does not help. I still see the live wallpapers section in the app but when I open any live wallpaper it crashes.

I found the app when you search in the settings for "wallpaper". It shows up as "Pixel wallpaper 2017" uninstall that and install the new APK and the live wallpapers will work. At least they did for me.
Problem is solved for me thanks.
