hi all... is there any android app that can read and edit .dll files? tried jota+ and anwriter but unreadable.or just readable thru pc?or is there something i can do to read and edit .dll files on my phone?dont have pc thats why...
.dll files are in binary format and for Windows. It is from source code in some programing language such as VC, C#... and so on after compiling.
In general, it is not readable. And you can't edit it directly unless you make use of some hacker tools to de-compile it.

ResHack will cause a dll or exe locked to sign if u edit it heavily.
Use Heaventools Resource Editor or PE Explorer instead
I bought Resource Editor and there is no way to sign the file....It shows when I edit only 6 bitmap files it says the file is no longer signed or trusted...is there a way around this

i attached the program i used to sign the htchome.dll file I patched. Do the following:
1) Put the file in the same folder as the program.
2) Go into command prompt and navigate to the folder which contains the the file (in my case C:\Documents and Settings\ScottE\Desktop\Programs\ATT Tilt\Programs\SignCode\SignCode)
3) Type "sign filename" which in my case was: sign htchome.dll
Then it should give you a message that the file was signed.
I just added a screenshot
you can also use sign tool from Microsoft SDK 2008
i tought he cannot sign the file after edit it. silly me there is also multisign tool floating in this forum based on SDK but with easy GUI.

Thats what I used..!!!! Thank you so much for the response...The 2008 SDK signs files but not really, you actually have to buy digital signatures...this way its free and works....
Just copied my phncanbmp test file to my phone and it works like a charm!!

Hiya
So I figured that i better go a learn how to use this UC that i find extremly clever - however there's a few cab's that i would love to change abit to my use, for instance dont make it install all the apps its trying and so on...
However i dont really know where or how read the file - ive downloaded WinCE trial version and oped the cab, but wich file type does what and so on? Ive tried abit, deleting some program files however i still need to edit the install files to tell the cab not to install the program at all, so are there anybody out there who can guide me abit on the right direction?
And es ive allready searched this site and google, but i havnt found anything usefull :?
//M
Which program is it that you're trying to edit?
Have you tried editing the config file that lists the cabs to be installed?

If you by config file means the xml file then yes - so far so good - however now im having trouble rebuilding the cab - ive tried several times using both winrar and alZip but i cant seem to rebuild the file correctly - it dosnt even have the right size even though all ive done is to extract the files and rebuild em - what am i doing wrong?
Perhaps im just too dumb to get it - but when i open the cab file in WinCE it dosnt seem to display the _setup.xml at all - so how do i edit that file and use WinCD to rebuild the cab file?
//M
Bump!

use any Cab manager to do that
or cabwiz (microsoft command line utilty)
also try this : http://nedge2k.com/cab-o-matic
or, you could PM the files and i'll cab'm up

Hmm i allready have WinCE - i just dont know how to change the cab and repack it, perhaps you could help on that?
Ive also seen that link under my search - however the site just says: "down for bug squashing..." so not much help there anyway
Thx for the offer - however the main reason is i want to learn how to do it properly
CabWiz i has been unable to find for download :?

to edit a cab, you need to have the WCM file. you can also unpack it using a Package Creator (v2.7) makes the changes needed, and create the cab again with the modifications using your CECabManager

Hmm yea i understand that much - however i fail to see how i can edit anything in WinCE when i dont have the xml file when i open the cab? I do understand the i need to unpacvk the cab, ive dont the with different programs, ive also edited the xml file to fit my request but i simply cant repack the cab with my edited xml file and get it to work? What am i doing wrong?
//M
CeCABManager supports importing information from an *.inf file.. not xml files..
you can just provide the info on the cab to the app and it'll pack it for you..
Well, not Sure if the past should be here, I think so.
*I was tinkering with a rom (Ledro id for desire), and wanted to take a look at the xml, in such framework-res.apk, but that open from the pc, I get: hexadecimal value 0x03 is an invalid character (with xml notepad). I still open it but it is unintelligible.
What are apk's trying to open with java (do not know if I have what it takes to open them) and that makes me: failed to load main-class manifest attribute ....
I just want to tweak a little, have if I learn slowly.
Sorry for my english I am from spain

XML files in apks are compiled to binary form, so you can't open them directly. You have to use some decoding tool: apktool (in my signature), Apk Manager (a wrapper around apktool) or AXMLPrinter2 (older and less powerful tool: can't rebuild XML and only partial info is decoded).
And no, you can't run apk files using Java on your PC.

That would have been perfect if the program you built worked. Thank you very much but I am going to have to seek another solution. Every time I try to use the IsoStoreSpy, the software crashes.
UPDATE
@contable and when I try your method, the application deployment program tells me the XAP is invalid.

My .xap file is working well on chevron unlocked devices, so it should also work on developer unlocked devices.
I can deploy the file with the official deployment tool or WPV xap deployer 1.5.
When I unzip the XAP and change any of the XML files is when it decides the XAP file is invalid. I can upload the original file.

I have changed the xml files inside the xap 1000 times.
Did you change the file extension from .xap to .zip before unzipping ?
Here are the steps
1. Unzip files after renaming extension to .zip
2. Update XML
3. Rezip files with 7zip
4. Rename file extension to .xap

is there another way to deploy apps?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Are you on Mango or NoDo? If Mango you have to do some reg edits when you get to Mango or you can't side load unsigned apps (I think; I could be wrong).
I was trying to be able to do what is described in my first post of this thread. Those tweaks can be applied and carried into Mango, I am currently on NoDo. About to give up though

In addition to apktool (thanks, @kaiodduarte), you're also going to need a good text editor (I use Notepad++), an archive manager (like 7zip or WinRAR), and the ZipSigner app for your device.

It will help you with actually being able to make edits to text files without screwing up all of the line endings and encoding.
