Hi Guys I would like to check with you guys some general questions about android phones:
-Is it suspicious if a APK file has more than 1 .dex file or is it just uncommon?
-Are there any specific file types which is often used by android malware?
-Are there any specific files in the APK which is commonly used for hiding malware in it?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Hello all, I am looking to see if anyone has the installer apk's for gapps, gmail, vending etc. for android 1.6. I'm trying to get a tablet up and running and I accidently deleted them. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
Hi,
the easiest way would be to extract it from e.g. the CyanogenMod/DRC83 Base ROM.
DRC83: h*tp://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip
CM4: h*tp://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip
(Sorry for the links - I have'nt enough postings to publish URL's )
Extract the ZIP-File and search for the APK's in system/app. BTW: Which Tablet are you using? You could download the original ROM and extract it from there. I'm not sure if the Vending.apk/etc. from the HTC Dream runs on a tablet.. Theoretically - yes.
Greetings,
Nathan
Hi All,
I am new to the Android development scene, and was wondering if somebody could help guide me in the direction where I could download a set of specific API's for Samsung devices. The API's that I'm seeking are the ones mentioned in a recent article published on networkworld referring to 90 new api's to boost mobile management (I can't paste the URL in here due to me being a n00b in the forum).
Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

Doesn't the Android SDK include the Samsung specific files as "third-party addon"
Alternatively goto opensource.samsung.com and click on mobile > mobile phone and download the sources for your model
Hi all,
I hope this is the right area to ask this question but does anyone know where I can get the old version of apk's. I guess I'm looking for something like oldapps.com or oldversion.com but for apk's.
The reason is that a few of my favourite apps have been updated and the newer version isn't necessarily better.
Very recently I've found an app ('android assistant' but I'm sure there's more) which will backup the apk to the sd card which will help for the future if this happens again.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Nial.
Many file sharing sites have older versions. Just google "download app_name.apk" and you should get a long list of available versions.

Hi, I don't understand what do you want to do, but if you want to remove ads on android you can use apps like adaway or adblock (you need to be rooted) or you need to modify your hosts file like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098.
Thanks for help but I want to remove the ads from app I made with andromo app maker not just block the adds on my phone itself with another app.
I did find an ads folder in (smali/com/Google/android) folder but after recompiling it reappears.

You can't add or remove anything from system without root.
Some malware has been known to install files/apps into system, but that is very specific and depends on the device having certain vulnerabilities.

Sir, your quote "Some malware has been known to install files/apps into system, but that is very specific and depends on the device having certain vulnerabilities" i could not understand .
Could you please elaborate what kind of event you have come across regarding malware that can install files/apps into the android system and what kind of device it is , so i can understand better.
I hope someone will soon help me out .

I can't give specific instances with specific specific apps on specific devices. It wouldn't matter even if I could because specific instances have nothing to do with understanding how or why malware gets into system.
It all depends on what is built into the malware and what vulnerabilities there are in the device's kernel.
A generic example is Kingroot, it's an app that is used to root devices, it is well known to install malware and extra apps into system when it is used.
