Oh wow, that was way easier way than the openssl method I was attempting before. Trying to re-up now but only from my phone so may not be up till tomorrow.
I will try this out and thanks
all you gotta do is load the apk on the sd card and install with a file explorer. No need for a zip
would someone mind posting their gallery apk for me please. i did a boo boo. thanks
Stock ICS/GB, Custom ROM, etc? Also, you can find it inside the flashable .zip of the ROM you have flashed. Look in /system/app. You may also need an .odex file along with it if you broke that too.
I'm running oICSv43. I looked in the rom using root explorer and couldn't find it. that was the first thing I tried. I"m not a total noob but dont know what i did to lose it. I wanted to ask for it here before reflashing.

Can this Harbb be applied if I want the GB camera or let's say phone app from GB to ICS ? and what if I rename the .apk file to another name so I would not loose the origianl ICS app ? name the .odex file with the same new name but .odex ?
I don't know enough about Smali or Android's app system to say. However I'm a firm believe in "there's one way to find out"
Just do a backup beforehand and try it out.

Hi guys!
First time poster, long time lurker.
I've been "customizing" (if you can call it that) ROMs to a slight degree through removing and adding APKs to the system/app directory (specifically with CM7).
I am curious though, is it possible to thoroughly customize with the apps you want, the settings pre-configured for select apps, homescreen all set up, etc without using nandroid?
I'd like to be able to set everything up and make a flashable zip that I can flash to several phones.
Would this mean building a ROM from scratch?
Thanks!

I don't know much about android development... but from what I can gather it looks like APKs generate databases to store their settings... and I can't just move a database into a ROM. But who knows! :silly:

Dsixda kitchen is the simplest possible way to turn a Rom into a working folder in which you can add stuff and then create a flashable zip. If you have knowledge of linux its a breeze. If not it's a slight learning curve.
Howdy,
I was wondering how hard it would be to make my own flashable gapps and other apps for myself to flash after a clean wipe. So I was basically wondering if there's a zip creator for dummies topic out there somewhere.
Thanks for your help,

Search for the ace think tank thread over the dhd general section. Start reading from page 30 onwards. I can't remember if I posted the link for such an app or not in one of the pages. If you reach page 42 then I didn't. First check the link section in the third post and there is a random link section link in the second post.
Your other option is to do the search at xda tv. That's where I accidentally found it.

You need to make a zip with the system/app and meta-inf. In the meta-inf is an updater-script and update-binary. The updater-script is where you write commands. This tells recovery what to do like to mount /system and push the /system/app and containing apks.
For example:
"run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");"
"package_extract_dir("system", "/system");"
"unmount("/system");"
Or you can mount with this command if you don't have /sbin/busybox in directory.
"mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");"
(minus quotations on each end)
Anything contained in the system folder like other folders and their contents will be copied where necessary.
There are definitely more variations of these commands as well for different Rom configurations.
You can get more complex with setting permissions and symlinks but this is a good starting point.
Best way is to just pull apart a few different zips and see what commands do what. You will start to see how it works. It's pretty easy really. There are plenty if guides around as well. Just search and study til you are comfortable writing your own.

App2zip is one of the apps I used to use to zip up apps...there are quite a few other apps, do similar things as well...
UPDATE: THIS THREAD IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED.
I upgraded to KitKat several months ago (as should you, if possible). Since KitKat allows any device that's NFC-enabled to work with wallet, I have been focusing my time elsewhere.
The original reason for this zip (to save pushing wallet to /system/app and setting permissions/reboot steps) is also no longer necessary, so just go directly to the source and use loserskater's thread and APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2457569
So I'm attaching a flashable zip to this post (and creating a new thread), as I feel like we sorta hijacked the thread it originally came from.
I believe this APK will work on any NFC-enabled device with an AOSP-based ROM that's not natively supported by Wallet, but please report failures.
This will also work on non-AOSP ROMs like TouchWiz, but those ones will require the NFC library fix you can find in another thread (links are shown in below instructions for Galaxy SIII and S4).
I've tested this on a Galaxy SIII (intl and AT&T) as well as the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (jfltevzw) so far with success.
No build.prop modification required!
Here are the original instructions posted by open1your1eyes0, and my flashable zip that includes the modified APK created by loserskater is attached.
In place of step 6 (manual push of APK and perms adjustment), just flash the attached zip in CWM/TWRP.
open1your1eyes0 said:
Try the following:
Force Stop on Wallet app
Clear Cache and Clear Data on Wallet app (in Application manager)
Delete all traces of it from both locations /system/app and /data/app/ (might be called Wallet.apk too)
Reboot
Flash a fresh version of your AOSP-based ROM (no wipe required)
Push the apk from this link to location /system/app/ and set the permissions to rw-r--r-- (DO NOT OPEN IT YET!!)
Reboot
Open the Wallet app and set everything up
Check what Tap and Pay says in "About" section of the app
Confirm what happens on transaction
***Note*** If the ROM your are flashing is TouchWiz-based for step 5 you need to flash one of the below for your device BEFORE step 6 and then continue.
For Galaxy S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1943165&d=1367940081
For Galaxy S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2006809&d=1370008832

This worked perfectly for me when following these instructions exactly.
After you've followed the steps above, you can simplify this process when upgrading your nightly ROM (like CM or any other AOSP-based one) by flashing the attached zip, which will push the APK and set the permissions properly.
It should be noted that once you get this modded APK working using the above instructions, you do NOT need to clear the app data or manually remove the APK again with the same version of Wallet when flashing new ROMs. CM and other nightly users can just flash the latest nightly, flash my zip, reboot and enjoy.
DO NOT UPDATE FROM THE PLAY STORE!
IF REINSTALLING GAPPS OVERWRITES THIS WITH THE STOCK VERSION, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS AGAIN, INCLUDING FLASHING MY ZIP AGAIN!
All credit goes to loserskater for creating the modded APK and open1your1eyes0 for the instructions, since the zip took about 5 minutes of my time.
Will this work on Cyanogen mod if I've never installed wallet?
Could you make the updater-script detect if you're on a TW ROM and flash the lib fix accordingly?

This should only be necessary on stock ROMs or those that are not AOSP-based.

So for example, since the PA gapps package includes Wallet, will it just work from now on after setting up using the modded .apk? Or do we still need to flash this one?

I'm going to assume your gapps package includes the stock version of wallet.
If so, you will need to flash this zip again.
You'll need to do this each time you flash a new ROM though, as most wipe /system.
If you have trouble after flashing gapps, you may need to step through the above instructions again, including the app data deletion.

Yeah that's all it does.
I usually flash my ROMs manually, as opposed to using CM's built-in updater, so I just flash this zip right after flashing the latest nightly to save an extra step and an extra reboot.

Yup, this will become another .zip to flash
EDIT: While doing a clean flash of PA 3.99 RC2 and the most recent PA gapps, I tried flashing this at the same time, and Tap and Pay is not active. I'm gonna try uninstalling Wallet and reflashing, and will report back.

I'm not sure what PA is, but as I mentioned before, if you overwrite Wallet, your best bet is to follow the instructions in the OP completely, which includes deleting app data.
You're essentially starting over at that point.
Let me know if you still have trouble after you've repeated the entire procedure.

PA = Paranoid Android. I guess I just kind of thought that was universally known
Either way, I was able to get Tap and Pay set up again by following the OP. Something about the way the PA gapps package installs the .apk's must make it so that this one doesn't overwrite correctly.

It should work without issue on a TouchWiz ROM as long as you install the proper NFC library fix first.
The OP has links for the NFC fix on the S3 and S4.

Most likely nothing, as from what I understand, the zips are mostly compatible.
Please feel free to test it out in TWRP and let me know if it gives you any trouble.
I've never used TWRP, but I'll see if there's a build for my phone and test it out if so.
EDIT - Seems to work just fine. I just installed TWRP using GooManager, and I am impressed. I guess it will take a little while to get used to, but I think I'll use it for a while.
