Hello, first I want to apologize if I am in the wrong area.
On to the question/assistance, something or other.
I am trying to modify an App, a game to be specific, to be more enjoyable for me. So far, I've been able to open it up, find the locations where the files I need to place/overwrite are located. I did so, and closed up the package, however, most of the times I tried it, it would always say something about not being able to "Parse" it. Eventually I got it so that it installs and runs, but the changes don't seem to appear.
This game, Uplink, used to be a PC exclusive, and it was very mod-heavy. Most of the "mods" were simply pictures with a txt file pointing to specific pixels for locations of other things, nothing complicated. I feel that it should be possible with the Android version as well.
I've looked around, and I can't seem to find anything that helps. There is a post on the Uplink section of the Introversion Forums that explains it a little, but no one has gotten back to me.
Can anyone help me? If anyone would be willing to assist me, whether by pointing me in the right direction, or taking, or walking through, or however, I would be grateful.
I could post the APK, tools that were mentioned else, and links I found.
Again, sorry if this isn't the place to ask for help with this particular problem of mine.
Hi!
Perhaps you should ask here...

I'm sure someone there can offer some advice.

Right off the bat, let me apologize for being such a noob. But for the life of me, I cant seem to find out how to actually dual boot WinMo and Android on my TMOUS htc hd2. I have searched using every term and phrase i can think of and nothing. Please keep in mind that I am not only new to this type of stuff, but to forums as well. So then I tried to find out how to flash a rom and radio, and come up empty there too. I couldn't even find if thats all the steps to change a phone. I am willing to learn, WANT to learn, but need a little boost to get started. I am supremely interested in figuring out how to use Ubuntu on my hd2 (thats what my main computer is), but i figure thats probably harder than the rest so i didn't even search it. Please no comments on how noobish I am please. I am already aware of this fact. And if i posted this in the wrong place, or this kind of question is not allowed, moderators feel free to delete or move it (not that you need MY permission). Thanks in advance for any help on this matter, and as I said at the beginning, please forgive my noobishness.
Another Question.....
Another question I wanted to ask that I haven't yet found an answer to was whether or not a computer has to be used for anything other than loading files onto the SD card, and if so, are the programs running on the computer compatible with linux? If not, are they able to run on wine? Again any help is greatly appreciated.
Used to be new too

Check out the stickies
Don't lurk on that phone so don't know if they have a wiki setup. Most likely do. Most phone's have wiki sections that if you read em will all the info you need. You said you're open and want to learn, keep that up.
For reference on searching, the search system is setup like a/the forum sub section, kinda like a file system.

Use the "search this forum" button here on this page to do a search on just that phone's forum. If you use the same button on the accessories main page, it will just search that phone's acc forum. Same goes if you search the xda main forum page, you'll be searching everything.
I did notice yesterday and today the search was acting up, giving me 0 results for topics I know are here, then just searched for general things like case and unlock, still nothing. That may have been the problem you were having, too.
Good Luck
Thank You
That was the problem I was having. I would search, but come up with no or very few results. Thank you for your help. I didn't read all the stickies or even check the wiki, like i said, I'm a noob. Well, far as I am concerned this thread can be closed.
Hey, I've been "googling" for a couple days now trying to find how to do this and even searching the forum but any posts I find say download this and flash. However, I'm developing for the LG Ally, so I know for a fact without even trying those services.jar files listed on those "how-to" threads will not work. I understand some of you dont like to help others when they have really low post counts, but I don't come here often because of there being no support for the LG Ally. All I am looking for is what files to modify and what modifications to make on how to do this. Please, just point me in the right direction if you can help, and don't say "use the search function". As I said, I have already used the aforementioned search function to no avail. If I missed something when i was searching, which is possible as I am only human, please point me to it.
Thanks.
And in case you were curious about my post history and all that, i usually post over at androidforums.com just search the user database for this username and you will find me.
Thanks again in advance.
If this is vague i apologize and will help clear it up if need be.
So, I have the feeling this isn't the place to post this, but seeing as how I was unable to find a section for the Focus S (yet there is one for the HTC Titan, which isn't even out yet) I figured I might as well post somewhere.
I've interlop unlocked and loaded a few different .xap's onto my device and have found that most either will not work (they close shortly after loading up) or they allow you to navigate around, but not edit anything. Advanced Config, Registry Editor, Samsung Tools, etc. will not allow for any kind of registry changes. Is there anyone who can point me to the right place for solving this issue?
Give me, oh, another hour. Reverse engineering the Focus S DLLs now. Already have registry, provxml, quite possibly filesystem, and a few other things (including the interface for call blocking, which doens't seem to exist in the older phones - sorry people with first-gen phones).
The new SecProxyClient.dll is super-useful. The new FCRouterProxy.dll looks to be amazing too, with lots of new APIs, but they obfuscated the function signatures, so it's going to take me a while to figure them out.
Of course, I don't have Focus S or Focus Flash, so I'm going to need some testers to make sure I've reassembled these APIs correctly. Any takers? I make no guarantee that these functions will work correctly, and if they don't it could mess up something, but I'll try hard to avoid that.
EDIT: Of course, the apps will need to be modified to use the new APIs and DLLs. It's not like I can publish my results and eisting apps will magically just work. I'll include the source of course, though, so it should be easy to build on my work. If schaps were willing to distribute the source for his own apps, I could fix them myself, but no such luck. That's what you get for closed-source, I guess.
I'm right here to test what you need.
I am more than willing to test. Just post it here or shoot me an email: [email protected]
I'm western time, so ill be up for a while
Yeah, I'm not.
Ill leave the testing for you, hope you guys have **** worked out by the morning.
i'm also willing to test as well, but please don't break my phone
All right folks, have at it. I'd like a few testers from each device, if possible, but mostly I just want good reports. PLEASE read the first post carefully - yes, I know it's long, but it will save both of us time.

Moved to WP7 Q&A
You are correct there is no focus s forum. There are some posts relating to that phone there, but they are different so i will not move it there. As it is a question it has been moved to WP7 Q&A. Hopefully if and when a focus s forum is created you can request the thread is moved again.
Take it easy
O_G
You know, I'm beginning to wonder of the reason that the call blocking app is struggling so much is just because there's a problem with this DLL that it is (and I am) trying to use. Sigh...
Speaking of which, if anybody can get me the XAP for the Call Blocking app, or for any other Samsung Gen2 app, that could be very helpful.
Here you go
Hello,
I have finally joined the forum hoping to find out what if anything if going on with my phone. I have several screen shots of various instances that seem out of the ordinary. To top it off I found a ton of txt files with my phones information on it from Maa360. I desperately want to know if I'm under an administrators account and am possibly being monitored. All the way down. To my Gmail email. I think there is an administrator account over me there too. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Personally, I think you might just be paranoid.
I have no idea what you mean by "having an administrator account" over you.

basically, i live in australia and lately the centrelink website has been really unreliable, so i figured i would use an android emu platform to run the centrelink express plus app, the problem is no matter what i have tried, none of them will let me set it up... wondering if anyone has any ideas on why i can't run it on any of the emu platforms i have tried, used genymotion, andy, bluestacks and NOX, i get to the point where i need to answer one of my secret questions, but there is no button to click or anything once i get that far so i can't use the app at all....
