Hi friends,
I am new on this forum.
I am looking a tool that I need modify apk [Android application]. Which is easier toot for a newbie? Please guide me. I have html, css, javasctipt knowqladge. Don't have knowledge about android .
I would like to modify the theme, adding some buttons etc.
Hope to get help from xda.
Thanks in advanced.
Anybody read this thread?
Oh, nice. I guess this is the biggest forum and people fighting here who response earlier. But this thread won't be seen. Bad Luck........
That's because you didnt do your research. There ware dozens of tools to decompile apks all over the sight. A some search will lead you there.
Keep in mind that this is not a support forum. It's a developers forum. Meaning you have to put your own work in first before anyone will help you.

Hi,
I am new to programming and have been self learning c++ for the last few weeks. So far I have only coded command line programmes but would like to start creating some wm programmes.
I have searched the forum and read the various threads relating to ‘beginners guide to wm programming’ etc. from what I have read it doesn’t seem to be the most straight forward process in the world. To get started I think I need to find some win32 API tutorials, download eVC 4 (I’m not a student and not willing to buy visual studio 2005 or 2008) and start playing.
I have also been browsing the web and found some interesting alternatives; Qt and FBA. Has anybody used these? And are they any good?
Any advice which can make this learning process easier would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks.
Mind you, post questions in the Questions & Answers section of the forum.
thanks.. and welcome
I wouldtn't recommend you to use anything other than winapi or .net, as many of the devices are really slowwww.
MOD EDIT: Removed Rest of post
Apologies for posting in the wrong place .
Thanks for the reply holodila i think will try and get my hands on a copy of VS, it seems to be the best way forward.
Cheers .
I have an interesting problem with ATPlugininstaller.
I installed chome editor v1.6 on my wm6.5 device.
At first it was working fine, and I created 2 plugins using it.
THEN, I decided to add the "day of the week" to the clock panel, by placing code directly in the titanium.cpr files.
Well, the weekday was added successfully, BUT now, I CAN'T use chome editor to create new panels, and I CAN'T install any plugin that uses the ATinstaller.
Whenever I try to do either, I get:
"An unexpected error occurred in ATplugininstaller
ATplugininstaller.exe unauthorized access exception
At System.IO._Error.WinIO error()
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlDOMTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.Xmldocument.save
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.AddLayout to cpr()
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.Main ()
As I said
, I get this same message when I try to create a new panel or add any cabs that require the plugin.
However, the panels I already created and the plugins I already installed still work fine.
My question is, why? My manually adding the code into the cpr files to show "day of the week" on the cclock panel is no different than the entries the installer makes when I install a plugin, or create one using Chome editor.
I know, I've looked thru the cpr file content. So, why does the installer crash AFTER I add the code for "day of the week" to the cpr files?
Can someone please help? Thanks.
Moved, nothing to do with development.
Ok then where do I put it? The ATplugininstaller thread IS in this developmen section, so I beg to differ with you.
I put it out here after getting no response to my inquiry in that thread.
This is one responsive board, out of 10 or so inquiries I've posted, I've only received 2 responses, all from from the author of one sw.
This is a real HELPFUL board,, I've got to say.
And, my inquiry, to remind you, HAS to do with development because I'm creating panels in Titanium using xml.
If the particular sw in question is in this section, then my inquiry as to why it crashes deserves to be here.
I guess it doesn't matter, the members on this board are of no help whatsoever. It's a waste of time to even post.
If I sound frustrated, it's because I am. I have no desire to get flamed, but I need help, and no one even answers.
No need to get frustrated .
Your thread does not belong to the development and hacking forum, that foum is please read the rules of D&H here.
Someone can only help you if they know the solution to your problem, no need to blame the users or the forum itself. Posting in the wrong section will not be helpful to you and will add to our work.
And if you really think posting here is a waste of time, why bother posting ?.
I have moved your thread to Q&A forum, which is regularly visited by developers and people with great knowledge in this field, patience is the key; not blaming the users of the board or being sarcastic.
As far as development goes, you are welcome to post your work ( pannels for titanium ) when they are ready, but not questions.
Hope you calm down, and not repeat such bursts of frustration. You could consider this a warnning.
Please read this carefully:

I do understand your need for help, but calm down and have patience, try searching or contacting XML writers/developers.
Hope you co-operate.
Understood. I had to do some venting because of all the nonresponses. Can you at least tell me where you moved my post, or did you just delete it? Thank you.
Thank you for your co-operation.
It has been moved to question and answers senction under the general section.
Many people come by here, surely someone will answer; if they have a solution.
madnish30.
just try it with TICS instead of ATPluginInstaller
(link in my signature)
there you don't need a hardcoded .plg and you have the possibility for pre-/postinstall scripts.
Also more definite error message, if you get in trouble.
I want to ask
how can I do my theme for spb??
what should I have with programms, tools, ..... ?
thanks alot
Why there is no answer ?
I'm sure that our member are Professionals ..
This does NOT belong to D&H.
Moved to Q&A.
Have you tried searching ?
Calling out Mark will not help you unless he reads your thread.
Please search and post in the correct forum.
Follow the rules.
Reverse engineering my friend.
Sometimes you have to take something apart to learn how to build it.
winzip,photoshop,wordpad,and most importantly google.
good day.
So I know XDAers are resourceful and supportive of community efforts. Let's write this guide together! (Especially if you're looking for something to do during the blackout
http://goo.gl/CPp0E (Google Docs)
I've been looking for a visual flowchart of Android schematics, and couldn't find one anywhere. I just wanted to see what Android schematics look like, but lo and behold, I couldn't find one anywhere on the internet!
So in the spirit of Web 2.0 I created one! (under CC license) It's open for editing, because I probably can't get it all right myself. Also, there are probably some things still missing.
Please help me write this. I know I would've loved to have something like this when I was getting into Android modding back in the day.
Also, suggestions for a new title are welcome. Something that says Super General Android Modding Guide for Noobs or something.
Reserved, just in case.
Hi there,
I just started reading your guide, which looks really brilliant.
And in the spirit of open source and peer review, if I can make any positive contributions to it I WILL!
Now back to reading
Dominique
Many thanks. This guide help me a lot. Hope it will be written on.

EDIT: Ok, now I see what type of modding you were talking about. XDA is not the place to request such knowledge, as it's basically the same as a warez request. The website you have in your signature, idk if you're part of this scam or not, but seriously, GTA 5 apk mod... this website is sooo sketchy. Please read the rules before posting.
Don't get me wrong, I'm disapproving the website, if you're not part of it, and just asked if you could learn how to mod an apk it's fine, it's just not at xda you should ask. But if you're part of this website advertising those fake apks that maybe used to hack someone's device, I think that's truly despicable.
I left my original answer down here:
Spoiler: ...
XDA is the place !
I personally don't know much java, and was unable to understand a word of english, so all of the tech documentation was a mystery for me. I just heard about one reverse engineering tool called apktool. So I set it up and started cracking open apks to understand how they really works from the inside by reading files and stuff. Then I came here (with a better knowledge of English and of what's an apk) and found many resources to learn. It depends on the kind of things you want to mod. If the UI is your priority, I'll advice you to start by understanding what's xml and how google uses it inside of every app. Eventually you'll have to learn java for more deeper tweaks, but to begin I think understanding how xml works is easier, and more practical since you'll have to modify that in order to change any UI element.
If you're after modding how the app works itself, then java is the first thing you should learn. (And don't learn any java, Android uses more the Java OOP).
I'll leave you some links for both ways of modding :
Modding UI (theming):
App resources overview | Android Developers
developer.android.com
I also did guide for theme using a simple method that doesn't require any prior knowledge of xml and stuff, and get you to play with the interface (like changing color and stuff):https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-theming-how-to-theme-any-android-app.3777101/
Ticklefish is one good themer here on xda, he made some guides about theming that, even if they're old, can teach you a lot about xml : https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816/
For the Java way:
I've seen many many java courses around the internet. Actually I can't tell you which one is the best or which one to avoid because I didn't learn java yet myself. Your on your own for that one, but good luck !
