Hi,
I would like to make a little app that basically packages my company's artwork (from TRPG books) into an apk, distribute it on the Market for free, and allows the user to set the artwork as a wallpaper.
I downloaded and used APK Manager the other day (while looking at a thread about modifying the "framework" file to adjust the auto-brightness settings on my SGS2). I noticed that this program can just take the apks apart and then re-compile. My question is, is it possible to use something like this to take apart a free open-source simple wallpaper setting app, then insert the art I need to insert, then recompile and publish? Or...do I need to go through the whole shabang and make a new simple app from scratch?
BTW, Yes I'm lazy to learn programing, and i'm not making enough money to hire someone to do this. And my PC at home has some USB problems. And I live in China where it seems that downloading the java SDK, android SDK, Eclipse, and the other things I need takes for ever. And I don't really know any programming. If I have to, I can learn. But that means less sleep for me, which I already don't get enough of.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Hi,guys, l want to implement a malware on android as my graduation paper, and now i am hard to think more good ideas, would you like to share your novel ideas with me ?
thank you very much!
How bout something useful, like gps logger, call log, browser history. Make an app/server side interface that can customize various parameters such as minutes between gps logs and upload server. Several small companies would love to trace their employees activities on company phones. Might even get you paid.

1) Build an android HTTP server that parses the user agent and serves a different browser exploit depending on what android version is on, if it's a miss, forward to the actual requested page, if it's a hit, go for it!
2) + Arpspoof
3) ???
4) Graduation
Or something that will overwrite the default CD .iso image in the device (the one that is mounted when you plug the phone on the pc) and make a modified version of that with something evil that will jump on the pc.
jk... so is it going to be some app or PoC or a paper explaining potentials of exploiting from/to Android (like Zimperium - Anti / Faceniff / Droidsheep)?
I made a malware-related graduation paper many years ago...

As a matter of fact, i want to write a rootkit on android, but at moment, it is lack of some useful cases, so as above, i need some ideas.....i promise it is just for study not for profits

oh, guy, i just want to do some security research on mobile phone,and i don't want to attack others, i am a student who love researching information security.Forgive my poor english
This is the kind of thing you need to learn about yourself. Knowledge is a dangerous thing, and those who know how to exploit Android aren't about to share that kind of knowledge here unless it is clearly as a part of how to PREVENT such exploits.

thanks, my friend, i am also realize that it is a long way to study android,and i will do my best,thank you again
I would recommend start learning reversing android malware, As you progress you will know the tricks of the trade and you can write your own stuff.
I been doing some reversing for a while as part of my job, A simple idea would be to write a small piece of code which sends sms to preminum rate numbers with out users knowlege (there are loads of them already doing it)etc..Start with simple ones which does not have support for command and Control center (C&C).
Read more about exsiting malwares which are around and i am sure you can prototype the one you wish to start with.
Random off the top of my head something I'd probably consider playing with someday:
if running on rooted device: install a system app and whatever is necessary, to then attempt overclocking the CPU enough to make the device go ape . 5Ghz Optimus One anyone?

Hello! I´m not a developer and i dont think that i want to learn everything about developing an app. I just want to make the management part of it.
My App is something like an calculator where you enter (input) some data in some fields and you will get an excel based pdf document with a table and a chart as output.
The excel file is allready done and i just need to convert it into an app with the GUI and some other small features like settings, output formats, checkboxes and so on....
So i have my first project and i need that app to run without bugs and so on. My Questions:
- Is it recommended to use one of these automatic App builders if im a bloody beginner or would you recommend to hire a developer?
- If i take a developer, what kind of details does he need to start that application?
- How much should i pay for such an app? I guess its not a complex app so it should not be very costly, right?
Thanks for your support and help!
From Desktop and Web to Android Devices : I Need Help
For over twenty years I have developed apps using Borland's Delphi and BDS development tools. I now want to migrate a subset of that functionality to Android devices ... but need help getting over the learning curve hump.
The general particulars are:
1. Master-Detail, content management. Multiple detail data tables for each master record.
2. Image gallery. See all images in the gallery or only those images which have been linked to a master record.
3. Taking a pic and linking it to a master record.
4. Ability to query for local businesses ... such as "Find <business name> within <x miles> of my current GPS location.
I currently have Eclipse and the latest ADK tools installed. Also, I have some Java experience.
Is there a place I can go to find a baseline source code framework that satisfies these requirements and demonstrates how to store and manage the master and detail data and links?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can be contacted at [email protected]
Many thanks, from an old dog trying to learn new tricks.

In my opinion, the best way for not a game development is using Xamarin platform. Xamarin is pretty good, but it's not a free.
All I can provide is the hard way : stick to a place like stackoverflow.com + the android official documentation.
You'll find tons of content relating to your question ; I'm sure about that.

The offical Android Tutorials are a great place to start.
I've found that if you start by trying to build something that you have in the past but target it at Android you'll learn a lot about the framework, its quirks, and how to do things maybe a little bit better than what you'll sometimes find on various sites. I second that Android's docs and tutorials are a great place to start, but you could take them and piece something together right from the start. It's also a great way to see how your project will work and perform on a real device running the Dalvik or ART VM FWIW, you'll notice that things will perform MUCH better with ART.
If you are a window coder, using java or c# is easy for transform, so download android studio or xamarin, open examples and do again.
If sqlite (default in android is not enough with you) you need create app with client-server app
Good day. I don't know if I'm posting in the right place but here goes. I need some help. I am new to app development and I honestly have no idea where to start. I have an app idea and haven't found one like it. It is a app that I really need for myself and would make my life so much easier if it was developed so I thought why not make it myself. I have no real programing knowledge other than basic vbs, basic cmd and basic html coding. This is the plan for my app.
At work we get parts in for our components that need repairing. All the parts have barcode on them so I thought why not speed up my parts checking process by using these barcodes that contain the part numbers to check my parts. The plan is for there to be a computer based program that uses a QR code to link the andriod app and the pc app together over the wifi or Internet. Then on the app you have it using the device camera to scan the barcode in and pass the barcode text to whatever place you have pointed your mouse at in keystrokes much like vbscript sendkeys method. After it scanned there must then be a popup that allows you to enter quantity as some of the items are small with 50 to 100 making scanning that many times just time consuming then after that is complete you can scan again. Also on the scan screen I want the option to manually input the barcode if the barcode has trouble being read. How I see it working is that at he end of the barcode it sends a Tab then after the quantity it sends a Enter. The idea is to use excel and formulas then to calculate parts received from parts outstanding. If someone could be so kind as to assist me or even just help me get starred I will really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. I do not aim to make money from it just see a flaw that can help me and possibly many other people out there in the world.
I'm no expert. Just a hobbyist. But here is what i do if i have a similar need. You can create a local web server. Have your android app send data to the server. And the server will process the data. And send back data to your mobile app. I usually use apache for this but if you use vbs it might be better to use windows server. Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
