[Q] App Rename - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I have tried many different methods of renaming this app but without success. Can someone please download the attachment and rename the app then upload it again so I can install the same app twice on my phone.

I have no idea what any of that stuff on the guide means. Could someone just do that for me?

If you take a look at this quote from the website @Murali dharan mentioned...
eldarerathis said:
You can't do this. Each Android application has a package name, which effectively defines the Java/Dalvik namespace that its classes occupy. You cannot have two packages of the same name installed because it would create overlapping namespaces, which is why it always replaces the old one when you install a new one. The only way you could feasibly do this is if you were able to get the source for the app and change all of the package definitions.

... you will see that it is generally not possible to rename an app and install it twice. In fact, I just tried it with your app, and it didn't work. I got the parse error.
Sorry about that.

[Question]App Editing

Lately I've been editing all my apps from the market using mixpix404's tips. I just wanted to know is it possible to pull stock apps to edit and if so could someone give me the code to pull and re-install?

It's posted under the themes section
not sure about pulling them but i know you can if you do it in the update.zip before flashing.

It's mixpix405... get it right! jk... but seriously!... jk
As for editing stock apps, I think you'll have to edit an update and flash the update to your phone. In a theme, the stock apps are in the system/app folder... Use 7-zip to open the archive, edit, resign, reflash... I havent tried it, so I can't say for sure it works... And I dont really know how else to do it.
You may just be able to extract, for example, the Calendar.apk from the update.zip, edit it, and then use conventional means (appmananger, astro, ADB, etc) to install it, but I have absolutely no clue.

Hulu on any rom and no modified apps

Whambam I've got it! You don't need to be deoxed and all that jazz. To use the hulu app you will need the modified version of flash. But to watch on the browser you can use the newest version of flash.
Step 1. Open the browser app
Step 2. Clear the url and type "about:debug" then press go (if you did it right nothing will happen)
Step 3. Press menu>more>settings
Step 4. Scroll down UAString then select" desktop"
Tada!!!!
Edit: apparently you still need the modded Hulu flash

Nope no go.
Does not work.
Strange because it works on my friends moto x and my incredible but I will admit I am running the modifed flash but my friends x is using the stock flash.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It works on the modified flash. I have not found a modified version of the newest flash yet.
didn't work for me... Where can I find the hulu app? I searched and couldn't find it in the market.

Modifying flash is quite easy. Just edit libflashplayer.so and change "AND 10,1,92,10" to "WIN 10,1,82,76".

Would you be able to modify the flash and post an apk?
try this
download and unzip
if this doesn't work let me know i've got another apk i have on my phone

Sorry, not going to post an apk. I've been down that road and you get nothing but grief from everyone for whom it doesn't work.
Again, it's easy to do. This is the Development forum. I would expect folks posting here to be familiar with the basics of packing/unpacking/signing apks and using a hex editor.

Not sure what version this is, but just from the size of the included libflashplayer.so file it's clearly not the latest.

That's too bad. I guess a few bad eggs spoil it for the rest of us. But I respect your decision.

Wish I was, but I'm not. Maybe now is a good time to learn. Trouble is my primary computer is a mac so a lot of the "how to's" are not applicable. I'll look around though, always willing to learn.

No, that's version 10.1.92.8. The latest is 10.1.92.10.
I have the latest version patched. I will post it tonight when I get home. Unless someone else has it who can post it.

Unpacking the apk and isolating the file was no problem. But opening the file in a hex editor (I just tried an online one) produced a bunch of binary code I could not understand. Maybe when I get off of work I'll have more time to try and figure this out.

Actually, I found what seems to be an even better way. With this method you can keep the newest version of Flashplayer (10.1.92.xx from the Nexus/Market), but enable Hulu. Download the HuluPack 2.zip above. Open it and extract the install_flash_player.apk from the zip. Now open the .apk (explore, not try to isntall, Astro works well here), and find the libflashplayer.so file inside the lib folder in the .apk. Extract this to your SD card. Open root explorer, navigate to /system/lib and rename libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.bak or cut and paste it to your SD card, whatever, just make sure you don't delete it. Now copy the libflashplayer.so from the HuluPack2 install_flash.apk into /system/lib. You can do all this whether Flash is part of your rom or installed using an apk, and you can do this without rebooting the phone. After copying the libflashplayer.so to /system/lib, websites will recognize your flash player as a slightly older version of desktop flash, 10.52.x.x, and Hulu will work, but you will still get the benefit of better performance from the most recent flash player available.

Block an OTA update?

If some of us who are happy with our phones and would rather not take the update is there a way to do that. I remember I changed a build prop but I am unsure if that still works. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Thanks Pete.
If you are on GB and are rooted you can use titanium back up to freeze "updater" and you will no longer get the annoying messages. Not sure for KK.
I am on kk...rooted / unlocked and I don't see "updater" in titanium back up...maybe its labeled differently?
3c_ota.apk on KK.
Isn't it a bad idea to block this OTA since it has some security fixes?

Could you explain exactly how to go about freezing this? Usually when I freeze an app in Titanium Backup, I look at the list of apps in Backup/Restore, click on the one I want, and then freeze it. But this app is not in the list - also, the list doesn't contain .apk files.
Someone said to rename the .apk file, but if it's already installed, how's that going to help?
Thanks.

If on JB the system/app has update or ota in the name. On KK system/priv-app has ota in the name. Change the .apk to .bak then reboot.

Thanks, done. But how does renaming the APK file help? Isn't an APK the uninstalled version? Wouldn't I have to disable the installed version somehow?

it doesnt matter, once the updates stop, the update app wont be changed because you never get an update.

Not sure if the system checksum will fail on the renamed apk. But you may have to fix it before you take L if it comes. That is if you manually flash L it may fail due to the wrong name. Then of course if you do not fix the file you will never get L automatically.

Sorry I was talking to you like you were a 3rd party lol. Thank you for the information. So your saying if I ever manually flash L or L comes to this phone as an ota I will need to fix the apk? Basically I either fix the apk or the phone stays as is? I appreciate your time thanks Pete.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwwPNOu-13eST1RVOVRKbkhCTW8 try this..
after download, copy and paste it in system/priv-app.. create a new folder should be exactly the same as the name of apk... Secure_Folder then copy the apk inside set permission for both. .. set permission for folder and apk.
then reboot your phone.. Go to Settings>>Lock screen and security>>Secure Folder... :good:

Sorry bout that. but its not working for me either, im also getting the error.. i just shared the apk file and instruction on how to install it for Leakhanak... maybe you can try asking Ohhdayumm how he made it work, what version is he using, which rom etc...:good:
or if i remember it correctly this was working with a s7edge or note 7 port rom.
Get the latest apk from Sammobile, installing as a normal app worked for me with latest version of the app, unrooted and unmodded phone btw.
It's like Samsung Pay, once you trip Knox, it's not going to work.

Question Is there any chance of this phone get AOD port?

So since this device was a samsung device, i thought AOD was a sure thing. But ofc samsung like to remove nice things and its not included with this phone. But i am rooted with magisk and would love to see a port for this! I know its possible since theres a few devices that has this with either magisk or modded apk
There are some third party Always on Displays which you can find on the Play Store.
I'm not sure whether you can find the exact one which Samsung is using. I can send you the original application file but I don't think it will work.

I think they are the same. They are under: "priv-app" in root directory. I suggest you give application file a try by installing it casually.
Ive tried every possible option so far with no luck! Tried manually place in system/priv-app, install apk, edit build.prop etc.. we need this feature! Aynone thats any good with this?
