Hello there, I am needing some help modifing apk
1- I use apktool to remove some permission I am not really comfortable with ( a pdf app asking for phone permission ) but I found a issue ... can't remove "android.permission.INTERNET" ( called "full network acces" when installing app ) it crash the app once I install it, Is that possible to remove ? if yes pls teach me
2- I also use gbwhatsapp, the version I like is no longer updated so needed to move to another modified whatsapp, I want to know what should I change to update by myself the version I like. On androidmanifest the only important changed stuff I can see is the "platformBuildVersionCode" and " platformBuildVersionName" Is that all I need to change to make it work ?
Any help ? thanx

1. To remove some permission follow this guide https://androdevkit.wordpress.com/2018/01/01/permission-manager/
Edit: If you remove Internet permission and use the app while connecting to Internet, app will crash. In such case you need to modify smali code (sneak peak)
2. The method doesn't work like that for keep old version for updates (I am not sure). If you still want to change version number here's how to do it https://androdevkit.wordpress.com/2017/12/31/editing-basic-info/

ok, i have just done the v10d update and the video is much better...
Now id like to install an apk from my desktop of minidiary but it doesnt install..
Is that what rooting is for? to accept all apk's?
Sorry for the dumb question, i was a symbian s60v3 and s60v5 user..
Nope. To install apk's you just need to tell the phone to accept non-market items. Go to your phone's settings, then Applications and check the top option (should be called something like Unknown Sources, I have to translate from Dutch).
Then just copy the apk to your phome and use Polaris Office or a separate apk installer from the market to browse to the apk and install it.
Hello
I tried that and it didnt work, was not installed or something like that. I ticked it to accept non android market apps.
Its probably pirated i guess.. found it on the net. Does rooting make it accept all non-signed apps? What is root for?
Thanks
ps: does anyone know where i can download mini-diary. Great little app i saw in the galaxy s2
No, rooting gives you administrative access to some files which you normally don't have so you can customize the phone the way you like it.
The safest way to download applications is via the Market app on your phone (you can also try http://market.android.com). However if you don't want to pay for some apps then you can search google adding the ".apk" and the apk version in the search bar.
Hello everybody,
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini ( its my first android phone ) on Android 4.2.2 . There is a thing that bother me, its the fact that I must give permissions to some applications that necessary don't need them to work ( for example : a random game who ask for the permissions to access to my files, and contacts, and to access the internet when it want. In brief, I want to install those applications, and then i would like to suppress or interdict them some permissions, in way to protect my privacy. Can some one help me ?
Thanks !

My files permission is required for some games to store big game data files , some games which allow you to add friends in it requires facebook/ contacts access which also requires internet access.....
But if you still want to cut off certain permissions you can do it using 'Lucky Pacher' app ..... BUT it requires root access.....

Hi again,
i got an other problem with hide it pro, ok the apps itself is hidden under the name audio manager, but he's plugin for sms isnt. I can saw it into my data use and with this name
com.hideitpro.app.sms, surely everyone look there will know i hide something.
So basically my question is can i change this app name? i found how to change the icon.... i've found also how to change an app name for the menu, but the apps itself still with the good one.
I'm not rooted, i've tried a lot of ways to be root and wont work, android 4.4.4 look hard to root. So i want if possible to change this apps name.
If impossible, i have a Moto G on android 4.4.4, so how can i root it while keeping the same core, dont really want kitkat or something else.
thanks
To change apps name, you can try Apk Editor from play store, it don't need root. You will need to unlock your bootloader before get root access.
Sorry bad english.

Decompile the app's .apk and open the file AndroidManifest.xml. Then, edit the line that looks like this:
Code:
package: "[i]string[/i]"
...in which string is the app's package's name. When done, save the file, recompile the .apk, re-sign the .apk, and install it.
Hi,
I want to mod Whatsapp on my own without using third party apps such as GBwhatsapp , Whatsapp plus, parallel space apk, appcloner apk...etc. I want to know how they do it.
What i Found
I tried using an android application that clones whatsapp and found there is two methods used:
1. Workspace Method: Parallel Space installs whatsapp in the root folder of the Parallel space application it self without changing in the code or any thing. There is several apps that do the same. ( I am not interested in this method)
2. Apk editing method: Appcloner apk, it clones whatsapp to a different name and allows modification to the app, but on one condition the original whatsapp version must be installed in order to verify the whatsapp number. (This is what i am trying to do manually) but i need to solve the problem where i dont need to install the original app in order to work(gbwhatsapp solved this problem but how?)
What i tried:
A.
I tried decompiling the whatsapp using (apktool, ApkEdit) then signing the app using zipsigner. The app gets installed but the problem is i cant get pass whatsapp verification number it gives an error and returns whatsapp to the first page:
"Something is wrong with your version of whatsapp. Please download the latest version from our website: https://whatsapp.com/android."
This is the error that i face and i want a fix for it.
B.
I used zipsigner on the original whatsapp apk file and signed the apk with new signiture then installed the app. I found that it gave the same error as above.
Conclusion:
Changing whatsapp apk signature prevents you from verifying the whatsapp number.
Can any one provide us with a fix how can we do this and mod our own version of whatsapp. I presume there is something to do with exposed since i found exposed modules in the decompiled folder for the cloned Whatsapp apk by appcloner and the apk gbwhatsapp.
Thanks
