[SOLVED] Why does APK not work after modification ? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hi
MIUI V4 has an issue of silent whatsapp notification.
a solution was found and described in here :
What you need to do is decompile the APK.
Look in \res\xml\preferences.xml
Search for android:ringtoneType="all"
Replace with android:ringtoneType="notification"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The problem is when I decompile, change and recompile whatsapp apk (and sign it), it becomes smalller (dropping from 7MB to 5.4). even trying to swap resources.arsc of the files with 7zip, does the same.
I even tried manipulating XDA whatsapp plus, but the result is the same - when trying to install the new "small" apk I get an error "application not installed" and that's it (no other version exists in the device).
How do I deal from here ?
Whatsapp won't fix this as it is custom ROM related and I think it is fixed on MIUI JB...
Thanks.
This is the latest official whatsapp apk from the Google Play :

Hi itzik2sh
I think i have whatsapp notification working normally (icon, sound and vibration) on MiUI (my cMiUI fyi), so, kinda weird that not working for u...
Anw, bout the size, i think it is normal cause, I used this trim size trick to minimize the size of my roms tho ^^…so, once it is installed and work properly, u shouldnt worry bout the size

But it's not working, and cmiui is a different ROM.

Have you tried not signing it after you do ur changes?

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

tried it... not working...

I'll give it a shot and see what I can do tomorrow cus right now I'm going to sleep lol

If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol

Check if signatures are there in the apk(compiled one). The changes in size are normal. It happens due to compression ratios.

Can i port the original signature? How do I do that?
sent from me

I hope not! That is the point of signing the APK. Only the person with the private part of the key can sign, allowing users to confirm that the package, as they have it, came from the signer.
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development

Hi Jeff
I know it's the vision and purpose of signing, but there are too many apks
I'm lately unable to recompile and get them working.
Erik - I was also never able to translate MIUI camera.apk,
as adding some resources made apk not run anymore. even swaping resources.arsc doesn't help.

Working with latest APKTOOL jar 1.5.0 and signing !
Thanks!

[ROM-DEV] HTC Sense Android 2.2.1 V8.5 Deodexed, WiFi:GPS:VVM Updated 11/20

Here is a new SenseFroyo rom for everyone from TEAM FUSPRINT.
Please take the time to read the entire post so as not to waste our time answering stupid questions. Thanks Team FUSPRINT
Ok every one this has all patches includes and has been majorly tweaked to perform as close to perfect as possible at this point. No sense resets, not bogging down while on the internet (changes to buffering) more in line with our phones.
This rom is using a custom kernel from Decadence @ 691 so run this kernel first to see what you think, i truely runs great.
Also if you want tkirtons A2SD just donwload from his thread and follow his directions for install the kernel already supports it.
MMS will only recieve and send if wifi is disabled this is due to the hack required to make it work in the first place.
Directions
You Must do a full wipe!!! If you dont, dont even post about a problem
Install the rom
do your first boot and logins
If you want Sprint VVM working then copy a backup copy of a working VVM from - data/data/ com.coremobility.app.vnotes on the old rom to data/data/com.coremobility.app.vnotes.
Then reboot. now VVM will be fully funtional.
then set your MMS follow this be FdxRider
"Need help testing this workaround for mms fix. All credit for the Mmszap.apk goes to hyriand over at htcpedia.com forums for the app,and whomever created the mms-signed.zip (if anybody kows pm me I'll add they're name).
Download both files to your sdcard,from recovery(NANDROID FIRST) then flash the signed zip and reboot.
Go to >menu>settings>applications>Unknown sources and check the box for "installation of non-market apps"
Next from a file manager install the .apk or push it to system/app if you prefer.
Next Open Mmszap>uncheck the box next to "Automatically copy active APN settings
Next delete the http://mms.orange.co/uk from the MMSC box and add this: http://mms.sprintpcs.com leave the password and username blank then delete everything out of MMS Proxy and also the MMS Port Click the back button or hit Home and it will save the settings reboot then open Mmszap again to check if your settings stuck.
mms-sign.zip
MmsZap-2.0.apk
ROM T-FUS._SenseFroyo_Heroc_V8.5.zip
What it is:
HTC Sense running on Android 2.2.1
What works:
Calls
3G
SMS/MMS (160 char limit) (Sprint MMS sizes 500k, 2Meg, and 5 megs.)
Bluetooth (does pair and connect without issue just no audio as of yet)
Accelerometer
270/90 degree rotation
Keypad leds
Light sensor
Network location/Agps
USB tether
LiveWallpaper from the Market
All HTC Sense apps/widgets
All Google Apps
WiFi
GPS
Adhoc Wifi Networks

Flash 10.1 lite
Desire style lock screen
Reboot added to OS
Newest Sprint VVM
Es File explorer
and more
What does not work:
Camera (Blaack screen)
Bluetooth Audio (does pair and connect without issue just no audio as of yet)
Mobile Network settings will fc (happens in every gsm sense rom ported to cdma)

[APP]Timescape Extentions Development

Hello all. Seeing as timescape is running on a lot of high end devices I and some others believe that Devs should start coding extentions. Anyone willing?

since timescape has no reported issues after retail version has been ported (except for silly mistakes during installation) I vouch for this idea.

In the first post download click link to timescape thread. Go to #5 post and download timescape. I think you need root to put permissions and etc in correct places. Copy the app folder to system/app. Install the apostle from there

Is it possibly add function for change Timescape wallpaper? Add GMail function will be great.
to change wallpaper, could we decompile the apk, find the image, swap with new picture and resign it? im no dev but it seems logically correct.
Yes, it´s correct thought, but it don´t work (app cannot instal).
i think it's a realy good idea! many extension can be interessent...
I have tried the above procedure in the main thread and it still dont work for me :/ i've tried the apk method. Can you help me set it up for my At&t captivate (its rooted and no roms yet but i can't seem to have non-market app to work). Anyway, i would appreciate if you could help me port Timescape on my device step-by-step. Much appreciated. And please direct me to the libraries and how to install them.
Is there a way to develop a google+ plugin for timescape? this would be great

reading that thread looks like the patch isn't "sticking" though.... they're doing it without the GSF patch and maybe that's the problem?

Thanks for taking a look at this issue. I have reviewed these changes and it makes sense why the "DPI Hacked" versions that I posted are not "sticking". The only problem I can see is that the version of GSF in this thread is not matching either the official "20110828" or the official "20120317" ICS version of Google Apps. When I compare GSF versions, I get a lot more changes than just seeing a one line difference in /GoogleServicesFramework/smali/com/google/android/gsf/checkin/CheckinRequestBuilder.smali. Can you tell me what version of GSF was used? It says 2.3.7, but its not the same as my version.
Also, all the changes made in your DPI modified version of Vending.apk seem ok, except, I'm not sure why there are changes to res/menu-v11/actions.xml and some of the other resource files. The "cleanest" way to package this is to copy the modified classes.dex into an unaltered version of Vending.apk. This way, apktool will not do anything funny to the resource files and doing a file comparison will not show a bunch of unwanted changes.
I would also like to mention that these files will not work for ICS or any DPI other than 240.
Attached are my logs of the file comparisons to the original versions. Thanks.
Is this one working with ics?
Got the .15 version working with 182DPI and it doesnt revert using density modder.
Tried some from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827

Seems you also have to install the GSF for it to work.

I can confirm this as well on Nexus S (240dpi) with AOKP M5. I never use Talk on my phone though so for me it's an acceptable bug.
jastonas said:

Click to collapse
The GSF apk has "signature" protection enabled in it's AndroidManifest.xml. You could either change "signature" to "normal" so the protection is disabled, or you could resign the other apk's (such as talk.apk) so the signature matches. For example, if I modify GSF.apk and sign it with my "test key", then the signature protection within the apk will only trust apps that are signed with the "test key".
This doesn't seem to be working for me. I cleared Market data, copied both APKs and rebooted, and now I have the latest Play Store version but still I can't install a lot of apps -- mostly they don't even show up when I search on the phone.

Change character encoding on the messages.apk

Guys, I'm on ported ICS from XBSALL and I've installed defcomg's modified apk for the messages.
I also tried using Go SMS Pro too.
The issue here is that all my messages are always cut due to the character encoding and the recipients never get them correctly.
Do you guys know where I can change the properties to use such characters like çãéíóúêî for example? These are present in the portuguese charset.
Have you tried any custom roms?
Maybe this ROM will solve your problem..
Sent from my P920 using ICS 4.0.4 by XBSA
I did, and no luck so far.
Will flash XBSALL's new one and try again.
That ROM you pointed out doesn't provide me with a lot of confidence about it, so I will skip it. A friend of mine tried it and he regret flashing it, the word he used was "crap".

Hi guys
I believe the problem lies in the lgtelephonyprovider.apk, i tried replacing with the l9 one but it fc.maybe try the prada one.also decompiled both l9 and ics port but dnt know how to edit the smali files.that is what is forcing every msg app to only send 80 characters.

I did, only a few days ago...
I don't know what exactly solved it, but it is somehow related to this thread.
So, step by step what I did: (DO NOT FORGET TO CORRECTLY SET THE PERMISSIONS FOR ALL THE FILES MENTIONED!!!)
1. Copied over Message.apk to the /system/app folder [Permission 644]
2. Copied over LGContacts3.apk [Permission 666] and LGContacts3.odex [Permission 666] to the /system/app folder
3. Copied over featureset.xml to the /system/etc folder [Permission 644]
4. Shutdown the phone.
5. Remove and then reinsert the battery
6. Install Go SMS Pro and never again use the stock message application.
7. And then it worked!
Before I fully shutdown the phone, my Contacts and Phone shortcuts disappeared. Possibly clearing the cache and dalvik could have helped, but I didn't remember doing that.
I installed Go Contacts to solve it meanwhile.
Do not forget to backup your original message.apk and lgcontacts3.apk before you do this, just in case.
I still can't send or receive MMS but I believe it is somehow bad APN configuration, I will have to look into that.
I did something similar, deleted the original message application, installed a modded one (turned its notification off) installed hand cent and selected as per the screen shot (Mms works as well) Settings - Send message settings - Split 160. It sends 2 (or 3) messages for long ones but it's the only way they will send, anything longer than 160 just won't send with out selecting the split option.

Nice. I'd completed this mod myself when I got my s4 shortly after release, but never got around to testing it (did the same thing for my s2 back in the day). Got distracted trying to turn it into a vrtheme to make it compatible with 'all' version of camera (this way it replaces the resource files in apk and keeps that current version of camera installed). It's still just sitting in a couple of folders somewhere on my server....
(However, I think apk version means you should be able to push with adb without requiring root??)
I'm on a bell i9505 and it crashes on me after 3 seconds of use
Unfortunately I screwed up and my backup of my stock aPk was unsuccessful
Can someone please give me the stock aPk for the camera or tell me how I'd go about fixing my camera app

Couple of options...flash your rom again (extreme!) or just replace the modded apk with original apk. Some roms include updated camera software (not sure if there has been an update, but you never know) so best to get apk from the same rom version you are currently running
Also, need to make sure rom is deodexed (you could try deleting the associated odex file and see if crash stops)

Nice. I'd completed this mod myself when I got my s4 shortly after release, but never got around to testing it (did the same thing for my s2 back in the day). Got distracted trying to turn it into a vrtheme to make it compatible with 'all' version of camera (this way it replaces the resource files in apk and keeps that current version of camera installed). It's still just sitting in a couple of folders somewhere on my server....
(However, I think apk version means you should be able to push with adb without requiring root??)

Maybe it could be possible... I have never used adb... But it should be possible yes
How would one make it for all versions? I am quite new to this... I would also like to port stuff.. But I am not that good yet

Which rom do you use?
I have only having it confirmed on ME2 deodexed.. That's why I need people to try so I know
Why was your backup unsuccessful?
Btw. If you get your backup or an apk working... You can send me that file and I can mod it for you and see if that works

updated the original post... that it is only working on deodexed roms.. please let me know if it works on others
Works with no problems on my part

I use Tasker to set the phone to vibrate or silent mode when the camera app is active. Works like a charm, and I don't have to mess with custom software. I wouldn't even have to be rooted, if I weren't already.

we all know that... it has been said before... this is just so you dont need to do anything afterwards
i got pissed by turning the volume off and on constantly... thats why i did this.. and i could have used a profile.. but i thought this was a permanent fix for use in other roms and such but thanks.

(this works in my head...) You use a vrtheme (flashable zip) that replaces the ogg files (resources) in the apk with silent ogg files (vrtheme usually replaces the image resources so that you can change the look of apps such as what you see HERE)

oh... i did it manually by decompiling.. well... i cant see why it would make it compatible with other roms..
an example.
i hate the clock and alarm app in samsung.. but love the sony one... i cant install it on my samsung... so i need to port it.. but the thing you said there.. would not do the trick... there must be something else, an identifier of the phone or something.
