From a past few weeks i was trying to find a way to create zip without compression on android eg for making bootanimation etc and the only working app i found was root browser by jrummy. By this we can make bootanimations and other flashable zips that works. For pc the only working software is 7zip and for android the root browser. I dint find any post related to it so i posted it here.

The App "7zipper" on the PlayStore should be able to this. I think it could, when I used this App.

All i did was use file explorer go to system/apps in root directory, uninstalled it since my custom rom made it a system app and then installed this one. For those who got it from google play just uninstall that one and install this one. Signing in and everything works. Enjoy .

Does it drive you crazy to download the gapp.zip package to get all the Google apps while flashing a custom rom like cm ??
Well no more downloading the large file again....
This iz a simple yet effective solution...
Unless you are upgrading to a later version of android , gapps.zip will have the same apps as they are currently in ur phone...
Even when u r updating to a later version of android you can use the method....
So here's what to do:
Basically we would create apk file of the current Google apps on ur system and install it later...
Simple. Isn't it ?
So just download any app that can create apk files of the application installed like "app backup and restore" ....
If u r using this app, then go to setting and you would find a option to show system applications. Check that and you would find all the applications in the list...
If using any other restore app , check for the same option in setting.
Tik the required applications like gmail, maps, playstore, drive, transport etc...
I would recommend to archive the whole lot of google apps...
Create the apk file...
Go ahead , flash your rom and just use these apk and get going...

Sorry, your majesty.
Hi all,
Just thought I would share my ebook app files from the original tab 10.1 that they stopped developing but which gave the best eboom experience on android IMHO. To install you unzip this (doesn't work as a flashable zip). Then you need to remove the myfiles apk from system app (called sec-tablet.my files) and replace it with the one from this zip. Then install ebook.apk as a normal app. Reboot your tab and enjoy!

Hi smegg,
I'm looking for the stock Ebook reader, version 3, for some time now. My tablet is on Android 4.1. So far I found two versions, one ebook,apk worked well but it's version 1.xx. The other one is version 3.xxx, it opens my books but does not show any "ç " or "Ç" (along with other missing accents).
I searched this thread but since it's old, the links are already broken....
Do you still have the tw flasheable version of this app? The app you have is at some 3.xxx versions?
Thank you!
mot sure mate, i'll have a look
Hey smegg,
Very thank you for your reply! Turns out I found a way to fix the newer version's app. I decompiled it and saw that it was using system font, droidserif.ttf. Turns out that this font in my tablet is zero size, more like a placeholder, i don't know...
Since I didn't wan't to mess with these, I opened the .smalli on the apk which called this font (smali\com\samsung\ebook\reader\settings\font.smali) and changed it to Helvetica.ttf. Recompilled it with apktool and gave it a try. Don't have the correct MyFiles,apk so I have to import books by clicking on them from any explorer. Apart from that, it's all working very fine! =)
like my old android 4.1.2 I want to open mobile hotspot without checking subscription status in my new android 4.3 galaxy s3 verizon
where are developers that will modify framework.jar file to enable this again in this new android verizon?
please help
If beans ever gets his 4.3 rom out it will probably be how you want. I know I'm waiting to install safestrap until he releases it. Until then I'm sure you could find a guide on how to do it.
You mean that i wait some months also until this problem solved
Thanks

I mean opposite, it probably isn't that hard and you can have it now if you do it yourself. Or ask for clues on how to do it instead of expecting someone else to do it for you.
I googled that problem for a week and no answer resolve it.
If you have the way to do that, then thank you very match

Friday night I found out how to manually do it but java was being a pain in the butt and I wanted to test it before telling you how also so I could have the file to upload to you. Just so you know the file you needed to edit was the framework-res.apk not the .jar. the xml that needed to be edited was located at framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml
Decompiled it just fine but on the compile after I was done editing java was being stupid and the compile failed. Hope this information can help you in the future.

I haven't tried it on 4.3 (have been putting off upgrading because of too many cons for the pros...) - but it bypasses all that verification stuff - still using the built-in tether.

Or edit the framework-res.apk yourself. I am glad I know how now because I will never need to wait for someone else to do it. well the only reason Iwould is if foxfi breaks in a update.

Where did you learn how to edit the framework-res.apk? I would rather know how to do it myself but my java skills are rudimentary at best (though I am a quick learner!!). What did you use to do the editing?
Thanks!
I downloaded a note 2 recovery zip of the modified apk. I then spent about ten minutes googling where the tether subscription checker was located then compared my apk to the note 2 apk. A lot of trial and error if you would like to see it old and slow has a edited recovery zip for the 4.3 tether (came out a day after I was looking for it so that's why I didn't choose that one). Just decompile both apk and look in framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml. what I did when comparing it to the note 2 was open both of the XML in notepad++ and compare lines. I am confident I can now mod it without examples if it ever happens again. Finding a decompiler is the easy part there are a lot of free ones out there just Google it and as long as you can recognize every character in the XML (no odd symbols) it decompiled correctly. I could not find a guid on how to do this but I probably learned more from my errors than I would have learned from a step by step. Hope that helps and sorry if that made no sense typed it in a rush.

Oh and if you dig around in the apk long enough you might notice how easy (but time consuming) it would be to make your own custom modifications and themes for your own rom. I like doing it this way over xposed because no matter what I do xposed is super buggy for me.
I was recently looking for system ui smali mods and I came across this apk tool app and I thought I would share it, I think it works good so far but your working with a smaller screen other wise its really nice
Download: ApkTool v4.7.apk
Update fix for Lollipop Roms :ApkToolUpdate.zip
Instructions :
After you install the apk be sure to go to your Framework apks and hit import framework before you do anything
Also Copy system apks to SD card or you with get decompile errors
If you have problems with decompiling system apps on Lollipop flash update zip that has updated jars
You shouldn't have any problems with kit kat though I believe so no need to flash update.zip
Flash via FlashFire
And Finally Enjoy

Try Axel on the playstore. You can view and edit.
Documentation on this app is hard to find
Documentation on this app is hard to find, did you write this? From what I can gather it turns your active rom into a rom package for redistribution? I'm assuming that's what they mean by create rom? Who wrote this gem? Amazing app
