TomLeeDesire helped me figure out how to tweak an HTC Browser.apk to allow 16 windows instead of 4.
If you're interested in increasing the maximum number of windows, there are four lines in two files within Browser.apk that need to be modified.
I made these changes to the HTC Browser.apk from VaelPak 3.2 RC 1, but it should work on any HTC Browser. 0x10 is 16 in hex, so you can make this value whatever you want. If you get above 25 or so open windows, the browser tends to crash.
com.android.browser.TabControl
.constructor()
Line 52: Change "const/4 v2, 0x4" to "const v2, 0x10"
.canCreateNewTab()
Line 565: Change "const/4 v0, 0x4" to "const v0, 0x10"
.createNewTab()
Line 618: Change "const/4 v1, 0x4" to "const v1, 0x10"
com.android.browser.htc.ui.ImageSlider
.add()
Line 658: Change "const/4 v3, 0x4" to "const v3, 0x10"
Once you know where to look, the changes are pretty easy with APKTool (just use version 1.3.1, since 1.3.2 has a bug and doesn't seem to work correctly).
Here is an HTC Browser.apk with these changes, along with some LowRider menu icons thrown in.
EDIT: This is not an installable apk, because the certificates won't match. You need to have a rooted phone and use ADB to overwrite /system/app/Browser.apk (Make a backup first, of course.)
Wow, thank you so much for this. I have been wondering how this was done for awhile.
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for this.
Thanks again!
Hey, I have tried to install the APK file on my phone but keep getting an error saying "Application not installed". I'm a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm using the HTC Desire HD
Thanks, very handy
thank you I was searching for this mod a long time.
I have a htc desire hd. when I try to install with estrongs it says not installed.
when I open your apk file in astro it says version 2.2.1 is installed and the version of your apk is 2.2 . its logic that it does not install. is your apk compatible with desire hd?
Do i need to be rooted for this to work? I haven't tried it yet, but it's definitely something that i would find extremely handy.

I just used ADB to overwrite the Browser.apk in my /system/app
I don't know if this will work on a non-rooted phone.
I'll see if I can figure out how to make this an installable app.

It looks like this will only work if you have a rooted phone.
Android won't let you update your current browser with this one, because the certificates won't match once it's modified. HTC would have to resign the app with these changes in order for it to work.
I believe the only way to replace your Browser.apk app is to have a rooted phone and then overwrite the Browser.apk in /system/app.
wow awesome thnx!

You need to use ADB to push the file to /system/app/Browser.apk (after making a backup first).
Installing this as a regular apk won't work, since I can't sign it with the HTC certificate. Android will only upgrade an app if the certificates match.
Ok, cool. At least I know that now. I'll give it a try as soon as I can. Thanks.
Thanks! I do get force close on my DHD thought will try to modify the browser myself.
Thanks for clearing up the will it/won't it work on an unrooted phone. Looks like I'll just have to get on with the rooting.

i tried editing browser.apk like how you suggested, and i can successfully overwrite it. But i dont see the internet browser on my device, i mean it's as if i never installed it..
honestly i have too many tabs already. Is there a way to make them all close when i exit the browser? I don't like opening my browser and seeing maybe 5 tabs from some**** i was looking at 3 days ago.

Did you sign it before you put it back? Also, you should probably clear Dalvik cache and reboot.

Who hates the ascending ringtone feature on Samsung & LG phones? Ascending ringtone is where your ringtone starts at low volume and gets louder the longer it plays. This will remove that feature.
All Galaxy phones seem to use the same command so this should work across the entire line.
Now with support for LG phones
DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
BUILT FOR STOCK ROMS (MAY WORK WITH CUSTOM AND THEMED ROMS BUT NO GUARANTEE)
Requirements
Windows XP or 7 ONLY (will not work in linux wine or other linux environments)
Java must be in your path. Type java in a command prompt. If you see help text you're good to go. If not this App won't work.
Root access of course
Ability to follow instructions and pay attention.
How do I use it?
1. Copy the original Phone.apk from your /system/app to the same folder as MODPhoneAPK.exe (*if your ROM is not deodexed copy the Phone.odex and framework folder also.)
2. Run the App and follow the directions.
3. If you selected to create a flashable zip install through recovery if not then push or copy to /system/app. Do not try to install it.
4. If it didn't work for you then flash Original_PhoneAPK.zip to restore your original back the way it was.
5. If your Phone.apk was ODEXED rename Phone.odex in /system/app
That all, it's pretty automatic.
So easy even a NOOB can do it.

This means you are trying to modify a Phone.apk that is ODEXED. Your Phone.apk "MUST BE DEODEXED".
I have plans to help guide you to deodex Phone.apk if successfully added.
Huge thank you for sharing this.
Used it to fix the annoying ascending ringtone on my KK4 Captivate phone.apk.
Works perfect!

Hey guys!
I'm new here and I've got a Galaxy Note (GT-N7000 / v. 2.3.6 / XXKK5 / Gingerbread XBKK4)
I don't really know much about these devices (I've been a iphone user for 2 years)
So straight to the problem:
I can get the modphoneapk work and it edits the phone.apk file (that I downloaded from another thread, which should have already have the Galaxy Note's ascending volume option deleted)
..so yea that works and my Note is completely stock..
I'm just having trouble to get the mod work..
I've added that modded phone.apk file in my sdhc card and tried to install it with es file explorer and also with androidinstaller.. and after that I rebooted the Note.. but it wont work..
You mentioned something about rooting? at this point I wanna say that I'm deeply sorry for my noobyness
greets

I'm not sure I understand completely so here's what I think you mean.
You can use a previously made MOD and it works fine. If you use the modifier app then it doesn't work? Is that correct?
I would make sure of the following:
1. If your /system/app folder contains Phone.odex then rename it.
2. If you made a flashable zip file then flash it through recovery.
3. You cannot install this apk it has to be pushed, flashed, or copied to /system/app using ES file explorer
NOTE: You cannot use this MOD if your phone is not rooted. Your phone HAS to be rooted to gain access to the /system/app folder
There are guides to help you root your phone in the Galaxy Note section of XDA and don't forget the "Thanks" button is not dangerous if someone has helped you.

This was when I was modding the status bar of CM10 today. I compiled a new apk but was lazy to connect my usb cable to phone and PC. :silly:
So I thought of transferring the apk by Bluetooth. To my surprise the phone rejected the apk and PC showed Access denied.
When I tried transferring the apk by renaming the extension to .zip, it accepted it.
Now renaming apk to zip everytime is a drag, so I thought why not mod the Bluetooth.apk itself to accept APK files.
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, BACKUP YOUR Bluetooth.apk
So here it goes.
Code:
1. Decompile your Bluetooth.apk
2. Go to Bluetooth.apk\smali\com\android\bluetooth\opp folder
3. Open Constants.smali using Notepad++ (recommended).
4. Find “.method static constructor <clinit>()V” (line no. 19)
5. In that method find “sput-object v0, Lcom/android/bluetooth/opp/Constants;->UNACCEPTABLE_SHARE_OUTBOUND_TYPES:[Ljava/lang/String;”
6. Below that there’s[INDENT].line 201
const/16 v0, 0xb
[/INDENT]7. Change “const/16 v0, 0xb” to “const/16 v0, 0xc”
8. If you go down little futher you’ll find[INDENT]const-string v2, "application/pdf"
aput-object v2, v0, v1
[/INDENT]9. Now add below it:[INDENT]const/16 v1, 0xb
const-string v2, "application/vnd.android.package-archive"
aput-object v2, v0, v1
[/INDENT]10. It should look something like this :
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dMiK9.jpg[/IMG]
11. Save the file and recompile the apk.
12. Just copy the classes.dex from the new apk and replace that in the old apk.
13. Use the old apk and replace it in /data/sys-parts/app/ with permissions rw-r-r.
14. Reboot and enjoy.
Attaching my Bluetooth.apk
Any problems let me know.

Edit: Updated post with Gmail 4.5.2 -- thank you lmasagao for modifying the latest version!
Hello all,
Yesterday, I discovered that the Gmail app refuses to open or save attached zips (or other archives) because they "could contain malicious software." But sometimes I need to download such files anyway, so I modified the latest Gmail.apk to remove the restriction and thought I'd share. This is based off Gmail 4.2.1 and should work on most devices.
This will allow you to download attachments that were previously disallowed by the Gmail application. You will need another app that is capable of opening a zip/tar/etc file installed.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for whatever happens as a result of using this modified version. If it goes crazy and emails embarrassing photos to all of your contacts it is neither my nor Google's fault.
That said, the changes are pretty minor and so far seem to work as expected.
Installation:
Uninstall existing Gmail app. If Gmail came pre-installed you must delete it from /system/app (root required)
Install Gmail-zips-[version].apk as normal.
Enjoy.
Modifications Made:
These instructions are only necessary if you wish to modify the APK yourself, otherwise see above.
Decompile Gmail.apk:
Code:
apktool d Gmail.apk
Replace the following from 'smali/com/google/android/gm/provider/MimeType.smali' and 'smali/com/android/mail/utils/MimeType.smali':
Code:
const-string v0, "application/zip"
const-string v1, "application/x-gzip"
const-string v2, "application/x-bzip2"
const-string v3, "application/x-compress"
const-string v4, "application/x-compressed"

I wanted to download a zip file, that I sent to myself from work and discovered this really stupid feature of Gmail,
A quick search did not reveal a solution, other than installing a different mail client or using a browser, great to see you were successful in hacking the .apk - going to download it a give it a try now.
The file you attached appears to be the old 4.1.2 version, not the latest 4.2.1
I tried using apktool to decompile gmail 4.2.1 and edited MimeType.smali
but when I try and recompile it I get an error:
I: Building resources...
C:\apktool\working\com.google.android.gmail\res\xml\gmail_widget_info.xml:2: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'widgetCategory' in package 'android'
Sorry about that -- must have pulled the /system/app version. I updated the OP with Gmail 4.2.1.
As far as the error you describe, unfortunately I didn't see the same issue. I'm using apktool v1.5.2. I did have to upgrade my SDK tools to 21.0.1 before it would build the new version.
In 4.2.1 there's another smali file that needed to be changed as well: 'smali/com/android/mail/utils/MimeType.smali'

Hello all,
Yesterday, I discovered that the Gmail app refuses to open or save attached zips (or other archives) because they "could contain malicious software." Well I don't appreciate Google making that determination for me, so I modified the latest Gmail.apk to remove the restriction and thought I'd share. This is based off Gmail 4.2.1 and should work on most devices.
This will allow you to download attachments that were previously disallowed by the Gmail application. You will need another app that is capable of opening a zip/tar/etc file installed.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for whatever happens as a result of using this modified version. If it goes crazy and emails embarrassing photos to all of your contacts it is neither my nor Google's fault.
That said, the changes are pretty minor and so far seem to work as expected.
Installation:
Uninstall existing Gmail app. If Gmail came pre-installed you must delete it from /system/app (root required)
Install Gmail-zips-[version].apk as normal.
Enjoy.
Modifications Made:
These instructions are only necessary if you wish to modify the APK yourself, otherwise see above.
Decode Gmail.apk:
Code:
apktool d Gmail.apk
Replace the following from 'smali/com/google/android/gm/provider/MimeType.smali' and 'smali/com/android/mail/utils/MimeType.smali':
Code:
const-string v0, "application/zip"
const-string v1, "application/x-gzip"
const-string v2, "application/x-bzip2"
const-string v3, "application/x-compress"
const-string v4, "application/x-compressed"
const-string v5, "application/x-tar"

Can we update the App after replacing it ...??
If you modified the version you have installed yourself, and later update it to a new version you modified yourself, then yes-- you will be able to update it. (This is because the application must be signed with the same key in order to update normally.)
If you have the official version or the version I posted, just uninstall the old version before installing the new one and it will work.

What Does this MOD do?
This new MOD will give you the following options:
Code:
[B][COLOR="DarkRed"][CENTER]Screen on/off when receiving text
MMS Subject
Delay text
Message Drafts
Delivery Reports
Multimedia Options
-Roaming retrieve
-Group Options
-MMS Alerts
Pop-Up Display
Preview Options
Change SMS and MSM Limits
Change Image Size [/CENTER]
[/COLOR][/B]
You may already have some of these options, I am just noting what seemed new to me...
Using your method of choice........
Pull SecMms_Blue.apk from your priv-app folder
Navigate to smali/com/android/mms/MmsConfig.smali
Find .method static constructor <clinit>()V
Basically v2 = 0 = disable......... and v3 = 1 = enable
So any options in this method you want to disable change to v2 and any options in this method you want to enable change to v3.
To change the MaxMessageSize, do the following....
Find sput v0, Lcom/android/mms/MmsConfig;->sMaxMessageSize:I and change the line above to const v0, 0x12b8f8
To change the MaxImageHeight and MaxImageWidth, do the following.....
Find sput v0, Lcom/android/mms/MmsConfig;->sMaxImageHeightRestrictedMode:I and change the line above to const/16 v0, 0x780
Find sput v0, Lcom/android/mms/MmsConfig;->sMaxImageWidthRestrictedMode:I and change the line above to const/16 v0, 0xA00
This will give you a max image size of 1920 x 2560. Change the hex values to make it larger or smaller if you like.
I changed most of the other limits to 0x1F4, whick equals 500 in base10, change to what you desire if 500 is not right for you.
Thats basically it. I will attach a simple flash for a deodexed file system. Its located in the downloads bar at the top of the post.
Enjoy, hit thanks if you want to.

Open to anyone who wants to use it.
Lots of other stuff in that particular smali that can be modified as well.
I flashed this file in safe strap and I'm bootlooping. LMAO am I doing it right. OR this is not for flashing. My flash addiction got me to flash and read later :silly:

Are you deodexed? I tried it again and it seems to be okay for me. There have been a few downloads now so unless no one has flashed but you it should be okay. LOL.
I will look through it again and make sure.

If you feel comfortable doing so, try pulling the apk out of the zip file and pushing it to the ROM and see if you have an issue.

With file explorer?
I just flashed via SS and got stuck at the Alliance Rom splash screen until I restored an older backup.
So I'm not going crazy. Does it matter if we are the Ne9 latest update

LOL...hang on a sec, Im gonna fix ithis right now.
Okay, repacked and re-uploaded. Bad upload maybe?
Also added a stock MMS flash.
Remember, the zip was just to give you a quick fix. The real fun is looking through the smali file and changing what you want.
Flash should work now....sorry for the issue.
I dont know how to change anything in smali file. I'm just a crackflasher

No, I've done that, I have write access. stock MMS messenger doesn't have a setting for choosing where attachments are saved. The only one I know of is Handcent, but found it bloated.
