Hi,
I run OmniRom without gapps (with NOGAPPS actually) and there's an app that refuses to start with the error "google play services is not installed, contact the device manufacturer".
Is there anything I can do to "fool" the app in thinking GSF is installed? I don't care about the push notifications the app is using.
Thank you.

Hello. Thanks for your reply. It's:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.co.asb.asbmobile
I tried using apktool to decompress it, remove the dependencies from AndroidManifest.xml but I couldn't compile it back.
Thoughts?
Thank you

The hard thing about decompressing, editing, and recompiling apps is that when you recompile it you also have to resign it. See, when you take apart an app the signature is stripped, and the signature is what allows the app to install properly.
Fortunately, there are several utilities out there that will help you do this.

The problem wasn't the signing part, I wasn't reaching that step since the apk wasn't building anymore afterwards, it was giving out errors about not finding some files (I don't recall exactly as I haven't tried lately).
Would you recommend a particular app (ideally to run under linux but can manage with Windows if need be) to decompile and compile an apk?
Thank you

What I meant to say was, don't actually decompile the app and then try to recompile it! It will give you errors, as you've seen.
Instead, try the following steps:
1. Copy the .apk file to a safe, secure place as a backup.
2. Download and/or open up an archive management program, i.e. 7zip or WinRAR.
3. Navigate to the directory where the .apk you want to mod is located. Not the backup one, of course!
4. Extract the .apk to a folder of your choice. Folder name example - "[name_of_app] modding" (without quotes).
5. Open up your regular file manager and navigate to that folder you just extracted to. Modify the files you want to modify.
6. Now, pay close attention to this part - In your archive manager, go into the acual .apk file you want to modify. It will just open right up as if it was a .zip.
7. Navigate to the directory in the .apk where the files you modded belong.
8. Now, back to your file explorer, click-and-drag the file(s) you modified from the file explorer window to the archive manager window. Drop the file in the archive manager window. It will ask you if you're sure that you want to overwrite, hit "Yes".
9. Once the file's in place, close the archive manager to finalize the change.
10. Now, all you have to do is put the modified app back on your device, use a tool like ZipSigner (find on Google Play) to resign it, and install!
Please do give me a few post thanks if the above instructions helped you. :good:

Thanks for the detailed instructions, however, to modify AndroidManifest.xml (where the GSF requirement is put) you need to decompile the apk using apktool or similar.
Simply unzipping the APK will not allow you to change AndroidManifest.xml.
I wish it were that simple

change the extension .apk to .zip and unzip it. keep in mind you have to sign that zip before you change it back to apk when you closed it up. just use photoshop or anything to edit the pics.

i use a mac, and i use the app called BetterZip. you can drag and drop .apk's into it and it will show you the contents. from there you can extract (drag and drop) what you would like and then simple add them back in (drag and drop). after youre happy with what youve modded you can then save the apk directly and proceed to adb push it to your phone. no "signing" required. very simple.
whatever you do, DO NOT rename the .apk to .zip and try to edit it, etc, etc. it will not work. maybe thats when you need to "sign" it or whatever. but using BetterZip there is none of that required. it can directly read and write the apk and requires nothing special.
another tip is if you are using photoshop to edit the images you should "save for web & devices" it makes much more optimized/smaller files

That is similar to windows but we use a different program. I would recommend doing the above also. Very easy that way.
I got it pushed over and it shows in my manage aplications, but im getting force closes every 5 seconds and it hasnt opened at all. any ideas?
I had a mod done to my widgetlocker apk , but i cant adb push it. Can someone please sign it for me so i can install using root explorer? Im not sure how difficult it is , so if its insanely hard or something im sorry for asking haha . Thanks .
Get apkmanager and it will sign it for you. Plus apk manager will let you decompile and recompile then sign so you can mod anything and it's a whole lot easier.

2. At the command prompt, navigate to the containing folder
3. keytool -genkeypair
4. jarsigner -verbose APPNAME.apk mykey
5. Push the signed app
sorry guys but im not real sure what a JDK directory is or anything. I didnt do the mod myself. i made a donation and had it done by someone on here. Once they returned it to me via email they told me to adb push it.. but i do not have any exp doing that and was hoping someone could help me out... there would be a nicely themed widgetlocker.apk in it for you haha

Post it or post a link to it and I'll sign it.
That said, if you modify one apk it is highly unlikely you will not modify others (which is a good thing). Therefore, I would highly recommend getting acquainted with the proper tools.
First you will need to install the Android SDK on your computer. Here is the link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Bear in mind that to use it you will also need to install the JDK (Java Developers Kit) on your computer but the links are in the instructions so it is very easy.
In addition to the SDK download 7zip if you do not already have it. It is a free archive utility that enables opening and editing the contents of archives without extracting them.
Lastly, if you just plan on editing images download Stericson's autosign tool so that once you finish changing images you can resign the apk which is necessary to install. However, if you want to delve a little deeper into apps I highly recommend Apk Manager. Not only does it include a signing tool but can also decompile apks so that you can do deeper editing.

The framework-res.apk does not need to be resigned. In fact, there are few, if any, reasons why any system app would need to be resigned. Therefore, that should not be your issue.
That said, in the steps you listed above I see several areas which could problems so, it would be beneficial if you provided more information. Here are my initial comments:
1)When you are rezipping the apk are you recompressing the folder created when you unzipped the apk OR, are you selecting the contents of the folder (e.g. AndroidManifest.xml, res folder, etc. ) and compressing them? It is important to do it the second way I described.
2)No need to bother with the mv command as you are using it. Once you've rezipped the apk (it will likely be named Archive.zip) you will need to rename it "framework-res.apk" at which point you should only need to push the apk back to the phone. The process would go like this:
a)put modified framework-res.apk into the tools folder (located in the SDK folder)
b)open up terminal.app
c)type "cd " (without the quotes) and drag the tools folder located in the sdk folder into the terminal terminal window, and press Enter
d)type "./adb remount" (without the quotes) and press Enter
e)type "./adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/" (without the quotes) and press Enter
f)type "./adb reboot" (without the quotes) and press Enter. (The phone will reboot which is necessary to see your changes)
g)Marvel at your accomplishment
Obviously, you should make a nandroid backup of your phone first so that in case you mess anything up you can restore it as if nothing happened.
If you have any more questions simply post them and I'd be happy to answer them. I bought and rooted my EVO the day it first came out which was before there were any Mac tutorials and have since become fluent in adb due to lots of trial and error.
could you possibly help me with my widgetlocker apk? i have adb pushed ( finally learned how to do that on mac) and it still wont install . have contacted ultralynx (he did the mod) but im not getting a response...thank you .

Hmmm... If ultralynx did the mod for you it is probably already signed. I've seen some of his threads and he clearly knows what he is doing. And, signing is apk-modding-101.
Where did you ./adb push the widget locker to? /system/app/ or /data/app/? Adb push does not install the apk if you push to /data/app/
My recommendation would be to do the following:
1)Using root explorer, find and delete the widgetlocker.apk from wherever you adb pushed it on your phone. Exit out of Root Explorer.
2)Reboot phone
3)Confirm that you don't have any previously installed versions of WIdget Locker on your phone. From your home screen press the menu button and navigate to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All and look for Widget Locker. If you find it select and uninstall it.
4)Assuming the modified widget locker.apk was signed you should not need to mess with adb. You certainly can but it is not necessary and I'd hate to confuse you with the commands. So... Instead, connect the EVO to your computer and mount as disk drive. Put the widget locker.apk you want to install on your sdcard. Personally, I would recommend creating a folder named Apps and putting it in there.
5)Unmount phone as disk drive and unplug phone from computer
6) Using any file manager (Root explorer is fine) navigate to the apk on your sdcard and select install.
If that doesn't work let me know

You'll need to be on a laptop/pc to do this method. Before you get started, make sure you have a backup of the apk you're modding (placed on the sd card somewhere). Also wouldn't hurt to make a nandroid. In the event where you need to revert the old apk back, skip to the steps regarding moving the apk to the original folder.
Download APK manager, open it, place the desired system apk into the "place here for modding", run the script, and select the "don't clear out current projects" option.
Near the top you'll see "extract apk". Select this option, wait for it finish, and navigate to the original apk manager folder. Here you'll see a new folder, "out". This is where the apk you extracted is. Navigate to res > drawable-hdpi and replace the desired icons. Make sure the new icons are named to exactly what you're replacing (you should get a "do you want to overwrite" dialog). They should also be sized to what the original file is (or close to it). Once you're done, back out back to the apk manager folder. Run the script again, select optimize images, wait for it to finish, then run zip apk, then 1 (for system app). Your new apk will be in the "place here for modding" folder under the name of "repackaged-unsigned" apk. You'll need to put this on your sd card, move it to "system" first (this will allow you to change permissions), rename it to the original system apk that you're replacing. Change the permissions to rw-r-r (accessible in root explorer by long pressing the file and selecting permissions - first two boxes on the first line and only the first box on the next two lines). From here, move it into the folder where it's replacing the original apk, you should get a "do you want to overwrite", select yes. Scroll down to verify the apk has the correct permissions and that the last modified date is showing as recently. If you don't get an "overwrite" prompt, you need to move it back and correctly name it until you do get the prompt. Lastly, reboot. In some situations (e.g., modifying the Mms apk or other system applications), it would help if you cleared cache and dalvik cache (boot will take a long time). You should see your changes. Seems like a lot but it's very simple. Good luck.

Manually check via a root explorer on your phone. If you have one, entering it in adb is probably case sensitive. You'd have to enter it exactly as it appears. What ROM are you using?

Works great, but one major problem: It doesn't work when there are spaces in the filenames.
I had to use bulk Rename Utility to remove spaces from the names of my apks and then it ran perfectly.
I you have to add quotation marks "" around the apk filenames in the batch script. Also, the adb in the zip is outdated.
EDIT: I fixed it, see attached file.
All credits to @lzhikai1994
here's what I did.
I don't have a computer. I changed apk to zip and unzipped it. Then I used Axel xml/editor viewer to change things. Then saved it and compressed file to zip then changed to apk. I tried using Zip Signer from app store. I still get the same parsing error when I click app to install.
What do I do to fix it ? apk editor pro works and installs the modded app but won't load the modded app to change things again so I don't want to use that.
Anyone have an answer ?
Try this process, instead. It works famously for me.
First, copy the .apk to a safe place just in case!
1. Extract your .apk to a folder.
2. Edit what you want.
3. Open up your original .apk in an archive manager (7zip, WinRAR).
4. Navigate to the directory where your edited files will go while in the archive manager.
5. Drag-and-drop your edited files into the archiver window which has the .apk open. Click "OK" if it asks if you're sure.
6. Close that window, ADB push it to /[wherever], and install.
Done! :good:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For reading all the xml files I use Axel (XML Editor / Viewer)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...aystore&pcampaignid=APPU_pzkdVL_aBcmONsKggsgE
You have to click open as on xml and choose axel then click Save As... save it somewhere with the same name as the file name as it is.
then copy the saved file into the folder of where you got it from and overwrite it. Make sure name is same. Now open the saved xml again in Axel ans now you can modify it, then click Save before exiting it.
For changing other things like button images I haven't done that.
I changed what app says inside and what some buttons says. The Strings.XML file is where buttons are or some other things
there's one called APK Editor Pro but it only lets you change app one time. It won't load modified one.
Here, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...aystore&pcampaignid=APPU_pzkdVL_aBcmONsKggsgE
is anyone able to tell me how to fix it ? How to get the apk aligned not using a computer ?
