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

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

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

Hi:
I've recently started to develop my own comic reader. The problem I've come up with is cbr files, which are esentially rar files. Now I know there are comic readers out there (all of them, I think) that support cbr files. So there is a way of doing this, I just can't find how.
In the rarlabs official page (search google rar addons and it's the first page) there are several options. I would like to know if I download the commandline arm unrar how I could install it on Android (I have a motorola Xoom, it would be for Honeycomb), assuming that is correct.
If this is not an option is there a command line unrar application that I could call from my own? and How would the code be (to call an external application, that is)?
If the above is not possible, what is the way to get to unrar something in android?
The only real option I've seen would be to use junrar (hosted on github)
But it seems complicated and I'm not sure it works very well as I've seen a lot of conflicting reports.
Thanks for any help!
Try http://www.all-freeware.com/results/rar/for/android to unpack rar on Android.
Success,
Senax
Hi:
I'm not exactly sure what you wanted me to try. There is nothing in that page that would allow me to uncompress a rar file on android. Only a bunch of unrar utitilities and some android things but they are not related, that is, there is nothing that says unrar that also works on android.
thanks anyway.
Unrar
great app available here: androidzoom (dot) com/android_applications/tools/unrar_dhpu.html

Hi:
It's seems that I didn't make myself clear.
I want to develop an android application that needs to unrar files. Is there a way to call the unrar application from my own code?
If so, can you tell me how?
Otherwise, I appreciate the effort, but I can't use that.
Thank you very much!
You can bring the unrar binary along in the /asset of your app,
on first launch copy it to your apps /file directory, chmod +x it, and use exec("sh") to unrar the files from shell.
oh, I see. I think I get the the idea but I don't understand all the instructions.
What did you mean by importing thebinary on my asset?
If I do the step above why do I need to copy the binary on first launch?
Don't I need root privileges too chmod it? And how do I do it from my source code?
And finally where can I find the command line use of the application? Or is it the same as the Linux version?
I know there are a lot of questions, but please keep in mind that I'm very new at doing this.
Thanks for all the help!
You need to put it as asset to bring it along.
You need to copy it because asset files are not directly accessable.
You don't need root to chmod the file in your own directory.
You do it by using a shell from your code i.e. Process.exec("sh")
And finally you want to program the app not me,
so don't be lazy and invest some time.
Google google google google...
If there are still questions left after that, you may ask again .
Ok, I'll try it and get back to you!
Thanks!
Sorry for my lazyness, but I've been Googling for a good half hour without finding a simple 'unrar' binary executable compiled to run from terminal on rooted ARMx32 device. I don't want bloated GUI APK's or libraries for development implementation, but just the plain command line interface executable. Anyone, please? It's a pity they haven't baked it into Busybox as an applet, IMO.
AndroidSuite 2012
Coded & Tested by:
Tom Dolan (Scriptr)
Joel Duncan (Slethen)
AndroidSuite 2012 what it does
Decodes and encodes Dex files
Decodes and encodes APK files(Previously bugged in APKManager)
Gives a console output
Whats to be added?
Experimental features (currently in testing)
Thread piority
Config editor
Help file
System requirements:
Windows (XP/Vista/7)
1024x768 monitor resolution

Android Suite 2012 by Team Scripthen
APKs:
Place the APKs in the directory \apk\
refresh the list,
select from the first list box which one you want to decode then hit
"decode selected" you can then edit the source in "decoded-apks".
to re-encode, refresh the list again, the select from the second list which directory
you'd like to encode hit "encode selected" once the progress bar has stopped you can
then safetly remove the APK from "encoded-apks" directory.
Dex:
place your .dex file in the directory "\repo\Dex" go to the main window and then hit
"Decode Dex", then you can click "Open OUT Directory" to view the source code.
Once finished with the source code you can then hit "Encode Dex" to reencode it to
"classes.dex" which will appear in programs root.
Experimental:
Version 99 they do not work.
However, when they do work, this shall be updated but you are to be careful and
take note it is not our fault if anything goes wrong, as these are critical these
will be throughly tested to ensure the correct configuration is used.
Experimental features added:
Apply update.zip;
Applies an update.zip to the device,
please note:
To apply the update, the archive needs to be in %PROGRAMROOT%\repo\
Reboot;
Send reboot signal to the phone
Boot to fast mode;
Reboot the phone to fast mode
boot.img;
This has NOT been fully tested!!!
To apply the new boot image put it in %PROGRAMROOT%\repo\
It would be extremely helpful if you were to post bugs/errors on this topic so we can find them easier.

thanks,
Scriptr|Slethen=Scripthen
first of all, thank you for this, it looks great! However, I am unable to encode anything. I get a sound effect as soon as i click encode decoded directory and the progress bar moves at an incredibly slow pace. is it doing what it's supposed to do? I let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing ever happened.
How big is the apk? And whats your cpu speed?
the app size is 5mb and my cpu is an i5 clocked at 2.3ghz. the odd thing to me is that it doesn't seem to try to encode the apk at all. when the decode finishes, a chime goes off. that same chime sounds within half a second of my trying to encode the same app. The decode works perfectly though!

Does the Console output give you any errors? or could you paste what the error is instead of clogging the chat.
What it sounds is that you dont have java recognised as a program. I will fix that when I log on Windows again.
please use pastie (google I cant use links yet) with the error so we can look into it.

Updated, your problem might be fixed.

Hey, I just downloaded android suite, but seems that the zip is damaged.
The folders from the zip created, but no files and I get errors from winrar like this:
Unknown method in bin\apktool.jar
No files to extract.
I' ll try to download it again, but can you please check it?
EDIT:
Redownload it 5 times, same errors. Archive is damaged, shows that is 36,3MB, but need less than a second to complete download(which is wrong for sure).
unzip it with Winzip, winrar cant extract it.

I'll get right on it.
Must of been the compression method, also try with 7-zip.
Right, re-uploaded with 0 compression, the archive shouldnt cause trouble now.
I'm actually unable to even get the download to start. I get an error when I click the link from google saying they can't find the requested link. I've tried 5 times.
Somehow the link had been replaced by "*****"
Here's the direct URL:
http://node2.scriptr.co.uk/Dev/AndroidSuite/AndroidSuite-b112.zip
I will add a downloader soon so hopefully it will be more efficient.
I will integrate that in next release,
sorry for all the trouble so far.

What exactly is in the archive that requires us to download 113mb? To decompile and recompile and apk all you need is:
Java - Already on my system
aapt.exe - Already on my system
apktool.jar - Already on my system
Command Prompt - Well duh, part of windows.
Could you provide screenshots of the application?

It's got the Java binaries in the directory.
as some people dont have the "java.exe" patj, it fails to load it.
I will add some screenshots later, and I shall update it later, I just need to do more testing on Java findings...
personally I'm good to go. A simple scan with an anti-virus is all I need to ensure it's legit. I have a backup so I'll take the OP's word for it. Also, no need to apologize for "problems" IMO, I have no idea how to decompile/recompile or sign an apk so even if there are bugs, you're still doing me (and a lot of others) a favor. Thanks for all of the work you've put in so far!
Screenshot of AndroidSuite2012
so, every time I try to close the .exe, a web browser opens that takes me to ad.fly.... not sure what that's about. I don't know what the link was for, so I closed it and didn't click anything. Also, the utility still doesn't seem to be able to recode the apk. the error message I received is in a .txt file attached to the link below. I didn't want to post this whole thing inline.
http://www.box.com/s/yoaxly1na5mjqhjralca
sorry, double post
I see the problem..
I will start to work on the fix later today...
Also I will test better java detection reducing the archive about 70 or so megabytes...
Sorry for the bulk archive it was just a temporary solution...
Thank you again for posting error log.

This tool is an interactive console application. It makes it easier to use blob tools. All you have to do is run it, choose to unpack or repack. If you choose repack it will ask you to enter the name for each of the required files. After that it will due the rest.
Notice: You either have to enter the full, have the blob file in the same directory/folder or have change changed directories to the location of the blob. For example: cd /path/to/blob's Dir/
Update: I have fixed the case sensitivity issue.
Note: The attachments below will always be the latest.

Sourcecode and Update
As I am unable to compile for Linux or mac at the moment here is the sourcecode for this tool.
This uses a Code::Blocks IDE for its project/workspace. It can be compiled with just a c++ compiler. The icon is only available on windows as I do not know to implement it on macosx and Linux does not support icons in executables. also, I have updated this application as well the updated binarie zip files and source zip are attached. Enjoy!

I tried to unpack a blob and it kept failing with an Invalid Option! error. I hit u then typed blob which was in the same directory. I then manually dragged the blob onto the blobunpack.exe and it unpacked it fine.

The blobs usually have no extension at all, and the extracted parts have a dot and the partition name as their last part, but I would not call these "extensions" (even if Windows disagrees with me).

Thanks, that makes more sense. Also, I am thinking about having BlobTools print the command usage in more detail or at least a "--help" command displaying detailed usage of BlobTools. Like, how to unpack and repack.
[WIP] New tool
I am going to make gui version of this using wxwidgets and also maby consolidate the two tools into one and then combine it with GUI. That would make it much better.

Is the blob you want to unpack in the same directory? If that does not work try adding a "." the end of the file name.

Hi all,
Now that we can build desktop applications on RT, I noticed that the x86_arm cross toolchain provided with VS2012 is missing a good number of lib files required for compiling applications. I wrote up this powershell script that will take a directory full of dlls as a parameter and convert them to .lib files... You'll need a working copy of VS2012 for this to work.
Hopefully someone finds this useful. Happy coding!
I updated the script to add explicit ordinals to the DEF file and also to correctly parse functions without an RVA (redirected functions)
updated to 1.2, fixes some files (like ws2_32) from duplicate ordinal error due to bad regex

As a follow up, when this does happen on a dll I need, I just edit the intermediate file to remove the offending lines and the run the link step manually, which seems to work.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I was wondering if these lib files are still available somewhere? I can't seem to access the multiupload link. it gives me an error saying the files are no longer available.
I would really appreciate a download link if anyone still has them.
Thank you!
I've still got them at home, but I'm on a business trip right now so I'll need to get home before I could upload them. Is there some reason you can't just re-rip the LIBs using dll2lib?

Thanks GoodDayToDie. I think I may actually be okay. I've since figured out how to make the lib files using the script in this thread. In the next few days, probably the weekend I'm really hoping to compile my first RT program!
