After root (toast's step 1 and 2), I can't find a lot of paid apps. I've read that it is due to the build.prop file. Where can I obtain a new copy of this? Or how do I fix the issue?
Thanks,
Dave

this belongs in the questions board, not the Dev board.
three simple solutions:
1) make your own
2) install a ROM which already has one
3) extract it from a ROM and load it yourself manually
Thanks for your answer. I apologize for posting in the wrong section.

Hi,
first of all, allow me to apologize that I am posting this into dev section instead of Q&A, but IMHO this topic is strongly tied with actual development and its not just a simple newbie question. If you disagree, please contact a mod with a request to move this thread to Q&A. Thanks.
Now lets cut to the chase. I am trying to alter some images inside the SystemUI.apk that was introduced with GB, mainly I want a semi-transparent statusbar. Problem is, when I modify the resources, rebuild the apk file using apktool and sign it using testsign, the modified package gets ingnored by the system because of shared UID certificate mismatch. If I understand it correctly, I must find the package using the shared UID and resign it with the same certificate as the modified SystemUI.apk. Am I right? If so, how can I determine the package apk file based only on the knowledge of its shared UID? If I'm totally wrong, please, correct me.
Thanks a lot,

Ok, so it has been moved already. Curious, if I get any answers here

Same problem here.
Hi viruz82 , maybe this will help http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/329285/signing-roms-with-the-aosp-platform-cert-for-flibblesan/
OK, I have been searching and searching. I can find a lot of places where they post mods but I was hoping there would be a walkthrough for first timers. I would like to start modding some of the apps on my phone. (AKA Widgets transparent or themed). is there a place I can find what files contain what images for HTC Sense? when I was playing with modding in windows mobile sense I found a lot of info but I can not seem to find too much here.
I believe these are the steps:
1. get apk
2. unzip and change images
3. repack apk
4. copy apk to /system/app
I am not sure how to repack a apk yet (any pointers would be great). I am not sure I am suppose to get the apk from the system folder or from the website? by copying it to the system folder is that enough? or do I have to install it?
Any little pointers would be great.
Thanks,

What is the reason behind naming apk "com.WORDHERE.APPNAMEHERE" is there a certain pattern to follow for this? Thank You!
Thread moved to Q&A.
It defines the namespace for your app. Usually it is a reversed version of your domain name. For instance, my domain is webosnerd.com, so my packages are com.webosnerd.appname. I think it's a Java thing.

It all has to do with the way the file system is set up. If u look in the apk after its recompiled in the smali files Ull see a set of folders...first one will be com then the folder inside of that will be the com.here then the folder inside of that will be next like this com.here.next. meaning if u were looking in on ur computer it would look like this com/here/next. Its a way of calling files
thanks for the help guys! i'm gearing myself to make my first android app... or maybe i'll start with themes. Thanks!

Yes, it's a Java development pattern / best practice. Android apps are written using the Java language so most developers follow Java best practices when they develop for Android.
As to WHY it's a best practice: The .apk is just a .zip file that makes it easy to move the app around. The Android Market only has to keep track of one .apk file instead of the thousand of files that actually make up the application. Once the .apk file is on the device it is inflated back into a set of files/folders. When it does the unzipping, dots are replaced with /'s and we end up with something like:
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberOne/FolderA/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberOne/FolderB/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberOne/FolderC/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberTwo/FolderA/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberTwo/FolderB/file.jpg
As you can see... both SuttCo apps share the /com/SuttCo/ directory.
tl; dr; It's so things stay organized.

Hi,
does someone know how to remove the taction from system settings?
Big thanks
Bye
You have to delete the Apk. Root required
Thanks, but this only delete the app, not the entry inside the settings menu,..

What you mean "the App.root required"? Is this a file? What is the path?

He said you need to delete the APK file, and to do that root is required.
If you need to ask this then I would suggest you do a lot more reading/searching of these forums on here so you can learn all about root, installing custom recovery, flashing ROMs etc, then maybe you will not need to ask questions like this that have been asked over and over again because people are to lazy to search.
Cheers
