hi i am making a new custom fw for my Arabian friends so i want to add an app to it
so is there any way to do it??
i thought at first that i just need to add the app file inside the Shpapp file but that wasn't right and didn't work
Any ideas would be useful
Thanks in advance
You just have to copy the apps folder to the SHPApp>Osp>Applications with the other applications. I was able to add Picsel Smart Offce and MyExplorer this way. And it worked like a charm. You can get the apps from sites where they upload apps for spoofing. I recommend: http://badawaveapps.blogspot.com/
Note: Sometimes the files that you download from such sites might already be spoofed. That is they have copied the contents of the apps into a container app and renamed the files accordingly. So the folder name will be different from what the actual folder name would be for that app. So if you want to still install these apps, you will have to edit the <ID></ID> part in the manifest.xml file in the Info folder of the app according to the folder name.
Hope it works for you.

You can add sygic/ndrive but not delete the native navigation app since Route66 is encrypted in the apps_compressed.bin file. Native apps which you can delete are: Daily Briefing, Twitter, Facebook, Samsung Apps, Samsung Apps Update and Social Hub Premium Instant Messenger,
Whatever changes you want to make in ShpApp file, do that and then recompile it and flash it with a firmware. Done
are you sure astrotom?
i tried it before and ended up with non working samsung apps and nothing added
i'll try and report
and yes my intentions is to add sygic and ndrive and i have the original files already

You will end up with a non working Samsung Apps only if you replace a particular firmwares's ShpApp with other firmwares's modified ShpApp.
very bad idea to get an app like sygic with all its maps inside the file
trix and Wave remaker couldn't do it
trix couldn't add a sound file from sygic
Wave remaker couldn't add a folder inside the file
maybe i'll use small apps like you said astrotom like My explorer and picsel smart office
manged to do it
i didn't believe myself when i saw sygic as original app in my customized firmware
thanks astrotom you advice was so helpful
sorry but ...if I can add a new app (free or not like sygic, myexplorer, picsel...) and having it regulary installed and functional in main menu without spoofing like preinstalled asphalt 5 then..if those new apps will receive an updated version and I do the update through samsung apps when I'm logged then those apps will appear in the purchase history as if I had bought them (like ashalt), is it possible?
Does samsungapps recognize the installation of the added app as it does for asphalt?
don't have paid apps in my country to comfirm this
the version of sugic that i put in the fw is the free promotion version so i don't think it will get updates
and no it didn't appear at the purchase history
you should try it your self or ask astrotom as he tried different apps
for me sygic is just enough as i added alot of maps and the Shpapp file reached 590 mb
well based on my experience with asphalt 5 you can update it but it does not appear in purchase history. hence if you accidently delete it you cant download it again
Unfortunately, you can't update apps. Samsung apps will still recognize those apps and if you have not updated to the latest samsung apps, you can even launch them from within samsung apps. But like asphalt 5, pre-installed apps are not allowed to update. Apps can be updated only if you have installed them from kies and if they belong to your country's app store.

mmm...I've pre-installed asphalt 5, never bought it, but I've updated it two times through Samsungapps application on wave (not using kies) and if you login before doing the update, asphalt will appear in your download history
(update is notified on the top of the downloaded/installed application list)
yes even i have updated asphalt through my phone

Have you tried changing app version to a lower number in Appinfo.sys and manifest.xml before flashing (in Info application folder)? If this works perhaps it's possible to load a firmware with only some configuration files for many apps (no need of full apps folder with lots of mb...), then:
-set microsd as installations target;
-run samsungapps application on wave, login and download all the 'update' (actually you'll download the entire apps );
-if this works, you'll have all your favorite apps in your purchase history, working normally on your wave and with any firmware...

i don't have paid apps in our samsung apps market until now so i can't test this
hi this is so intersing job
how can i edit shpapp infact how can i add app to shpapp ?
hi every one again
wanted to report bad news back
you can add just two apps
if you added more than two apps you will get unexpected behavior like disappearance of the native apps like samsung apps,facebook,twitter,mini diary......etc
or ending up with broken samsung apps and nothing added
hope we find a way through this

APK Edit V0.4e
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever wanted to simply change an icon on your Android phone and found yourself lost in the endless lists of forum posts saying: you have to change heaven and earth to do this...
NOT ANYMORE!!!!
APK Edit is born!
With this little program you can simply change icons of your android application.
It even lets you change the applications name.
But wait mike..... there's more.....
It even lets you edit the text used in applications.
Sounds to good to be true...
Well... to be honest.... it is.
But I've come a long way from that initial question to the final answer.
My conclusion so far, it works for most of my applications.
It probably will work on most of yours as well.
Try it out now!
(Caution: when overwriting an existing application, using the adb Wireless feature, you will loose your associated data!!!)
For the record... only use on you're own apk files, otherwise it's not that legal I think.
Version history:
Code:
0.4e - Minor update
Added: Some more debug logging on startup of the application.
Fixed: Version number in settings tab now shows correct version.
0.4d - Minor update
Fixed: Fixed startup crash if some APK properties are empty (like screensize/densities/locales), like in Settings.apk.
Fixed: A little bug in the fancy install mechanism, mainly experienced when installing system apk's
0.4c - Minor update
Fixed: Compatibility issue with Windows XP, causing program to crash on startup.
0.4b - Minor update
Fixed: Error extracting signature.
Changed: Extended logging.
0.4a - Minor update
Changed: Logging is enabled by default.
Added: Some debug messages for when opening of apk goes wrong.
0.4 - Major rewrite
Did a major rewrite of the code.
Added: Option to choose APK tool version
Added: Logging feature
Added: Auto retrieve required dependency files from phone if needed (for editing system apps)
Added: Details panel, shows information about the package.
Added: Restore original file link, for when thing's get really messed up.
Added: Donate button, for those who wanna celebrate with me.
Fixed: Some annoying issues (APKtool Issue 100) / (XLargeScreens bug)
Removed: QR Code installation support
Removed: AdbWireless installation support
0.3 - Update
Added: Language support.
Added: Installation method (USB Cable).
0.2 - Minor update
Added: Save confirmation dialog (as req by droidzone)
Changed: Recreated the loading animation so that it theme's better with the rest of the application.
0.1 - Initial release
Special thanks goes out to:Brut.all for creating Apktool, the backbone of this little project.

How can I use this program ?? If I open it, it opens a dialog screen that wants to open a java.exe file ?
In order to use it you need to have java installed.
By default it will search for it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe".
If it can't find it there, it will pop up the screen you are talking about, asking you where it can find it.
I know, it's a little dirty this way, but I'm a lazy programmer
If necessary you can download java for free at: java.com

So i'll see all custom icons in your next Rom LOL
This is total awesomeness... works perfect for me, i will definitely promote this!
Thanks for sharing it.
BTW heads up --- this can actually break some apps...
The breakage comes because this tool works by decompiling the apk and
signing it with a key that is NOT the same as the original developer's
key so for apps that have co-dependencies (ie, one app calls into another), this can cause mystery errors because if the signatures are not identical, then the call will fail.
while this is a lovely tool, i just wanted to mention this...
thanks for the info
Update New version V0.2
That's true ThaPHLASH, co-dependencies are a big trouble when using this approach. Can't think of any way around it at this time, so we are currently stuck at changing those apk's who are autonomous.
If it does break you're apk, don't worry... it always saves a backup of the original apk when changing.
Great!! its work fine for me
Thanks!
i think this will change the icon in the appdrawer, right ?
if so, it would be nice to seen this wihtin an app on the phone direct,
like desktop visualiser but also in the appdrawer.
dunno if its possible to code, but that woud be awesom !

I have a problem i think.... when change icon to apk file the aplicattion create a .backup file but no a new file with the new icon... and other work ok i dont know why...
Congrats zEsAr!!!
You are the lucky finder of a brand new bug!
Are you having this problem with all your apk files?
No, some apks work ok but others say save changes very fast and the new archive dont exist.

Cool, or actually... not that cool, but you get my drift.
Will look into it, I myself have the same problem with some of them.
Maybe has to do something with compression levels, bla bla...

not to question your skills or the app capability, but does it still have the problem zesar had? just wanna make sure before trying it out..
I have noticed that with all builds available android market has alot of apps missing (such as google maps, etc)
I have found various vending.apk replacements for qvga models that fix this problem, but until now I have been unable to replace market.
I am currently using Gingerbones 5.25 odex version.
Does anyone know how to update market with the qvga patched version of market and make it work for an odex system.
Thanks

grab a file manager with root accessfor example file expert . go to settings clear market data and cache then using file explorer navigate to system apps folder delete vending apk and dex files and throw in the one from the link below then restart clear dalvik cache and you are ready to go.
the apk is not odexed but it works on odexed builds.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7688082/Vending.apk
also this is the new market after the facelift but itisn,t the latest version.....the latest version with qvga fix didnt work for me because it was patched with wildfire build.prop
Worked a charm, still havent got all apps (google maps is still missing) but when searching for "video" for example I get over 600 results.
Thanks a bunch

It's kind of strange as I can access google maps even on non patched markets there must be something wrong with your build. Maybe because gingerbones was stripped down a bit. Anyway there is patched G maps with worldwide navigation enabled floating in Android apps and games forum give it a go it works great for me.
Hi All,
Thought I would let you all know that the new marketplace has just come out, Version 3.3.11.
Details of the new market (copy & paste)
Note: Root is not required.
Note: If the Market starts force closing, just open Settings >
Applications > Manage > Market, and clear data.
What's changed? So far, we've found:
New setting: Auto-update apps (presumably, sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!)
New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only
New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, a la Honeycomb)
Smaller font
New app drawer icon
Microphone (voice command) button in search menu
Star rating chart on app pages
Minor UI tweaks
Download link here:
http://min.us/mbkcCQPLvP
Original Source of info here:
http://www.theandroidlinks.com/Andr...-update-over-wi-fi-only-shortcuts-and-more-1/
I have personally installed it, and it works perfectly. It is (in my opinion) ALOT faster, more responsive than the 3.2.0 which i had previously had installed...
If this has helped, please click thanks below.
Cheers
Hi!
Only one (noobish?) question: but Market is capable to upgrade itself or I have to download and install new release?

It can and does upgrade itself, but only when its officially released by google and pushed out to phones via the market updater.
This release here is pre-released version of what may or may not be pushed out by google. So if you manually update it yourself, you will have the newest version now. I for one, love having new apps, roms, kernels etc as soon as they are released.
Coming from 3.1.5, the new Market seems more responsive (but it might also be the upgrade to Android 2.3.5 )
Anyway, thanks for sharing!
There has already been 4/5 threads and download links about this already, i wouldn't call it an incredible speed increase but it is noticeably better than the last version but unfortunately still pales in comparison to the iClone app store but im sure Google will get there eventually.

O rly, sorry i had a 3 page look back to see if anyone had posted anything about it before posting, and couldnt find anything - so i thought i would share.
Coming from Market 3.2.0 i notice a huge speed increase, but that might just be my phone compared to others.... edited the title to not mislead others into unconfirmed speed increase.
Cheers
Agreed, lot much better, thanks
i have tried downloading it and when i install it stays on 3.2.0 any ideas on how to get it working
thanks
Heres the method i used:
1) Get root explorer (or some app that allows root exploration - ES file explorer also does this and is free.
2) go to SYSTEM/APP and rename "Vending.apk" to "Vending.apk2"
3) rename the new "Market-3.3.11.apk" to "Vending.apk" and copy it onto your SDcard
4) copy this new "Vending.apk" from your SDcard to SYSTEM/APP (paste)
5) hold your finger on the new "Vending.apk" thats inside the SYSTEM/APP folder - go to permissions
6) tick all 3 of the first boxes on (READ column), and only the top box in the second row (WRITE column), and none in the 3rd row (EXECUTE column) then tap ok
alternatively - you can just copy the file onto your SDcard and run the application, assuming you have:
Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources (Ticked on)
I have installed it on Samsung Galaxy S2
My existing version is v3.1.5 have updated to this v3.3.11
I will use it for few day and let you guys know if getting any errors !
Thanks for update !

I get this to, also auto-update doesnt seem to work.
I've seen this many times. If you install an app from outside market it seems like market comes "out of synch". When it says update for the market app it's the latest official one. The way to get rid of this false update is to uninstall and install again. But then you are back to the official release.
But i don't think you should do this with the market app. I'm not sure if you get it back. If you loose it, just install the market.apk from the OP.
Thanks man!
It wont install in my phone, either install or renaming to Vending.apk and moving to apps...
I'm not sure if it's just me but it seems that this release fixes the issue where the market app gets stuck at "loading".

I am planning to flash PA to my old Nexus 7 (Tilapia) without gapps. The idea is to find out whether an Android device can be decoupled from Google. And whether such a device can still be used in a normal day to day scenario for surfing, mail, contacts ...
There are many apps out there which could be used instead of the apps in the gapps package (i.e. play store => f-droid, mail => k-9, chrome => firefox, maps => navit / OsmAnd, ...). And with a simple raspberry pi and owncloud also some of the google services can be replaced by an self hosted solution.
What are your thoughts on this:
- Is this possible in principle with PA?
- What should I watch out for when setting up the N7?
- Any other suggestions?
Of course you can do it. The ROM is functional without gapps
Sent from my Nexus 5
I don't know what it is you should be watching out for when trying your experiment but I believe it can be done. You'll have to use a 3rd party app store to download the apps you want to replace the stock apps with (k-9, etc). But once you start doing that, what's the point?
To prove you don't need to use Google Branded apps? Just root your device, install Titanium and freeze all the google apps. Same thing, right?
Just flashed PA without gapps. Added some great Apps from f-droid. Everything works great. Next steps will be to Conect to a dropbox server.
Currently I am getting a notification that a new system update, a new gapps version is available. Can I somehow disable in PA the check for new gapp versions?
Thanks!

Thanks Pirateghost, just found it.
I am currently running into two issues:
I installed the "920 text editor" via f-droid. But when I try to start it the app it opens for a nearly a second and then a error window says >"920 Text Editor" wurde beendet.< (I am using a German system; translation something like >"920 Text Editor" was stopped.<). Is there a log file which could provide more information why this application was not able to start?
I paired my German bluetooth keyboard (QWERTZ layout) with the nexus. But unlike to stock Android in PA they keyboard is mapped with the American layout (QWERTY layout). So some keys are not inline with the labelling. I did not find a way to change the used layout in the settings. Any ideas?

The first thing in my mind is that it uses an other service ... maybe lgnfc ?
I'll look it up on monday ... no time this weekend , sorry

Hello, I have used this debloater, and unselected "QuicksetSDK" and "QRemote" but for some reason, QRemote isnt there anymore, how can I get it back? I can't find where to get the .apk for it.

Can one of you test to dirty flash the rom you use again , reboot , boot to recovery again and then use the debloater but don't select LGNFC , QUICKSETSDK and QREMOTE !
That should do the trick.
Greetings, Kuoi

Nice Zip Kuoi, I can confirm that your trick works.
Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music, SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor are still in my ROM after applying your Script.
Can anybody confirm? Would it be possible to add these apps to your ZIP?

Go to my EXTRA debloater thread ... i've added Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music, SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor
Link to Extra debloater in OP
BTW : I've learned a lot today ,because when i was trying to remove the google services (play movies,games,music) the folders where deleted but i had still the apps on my phone.
I've installed an apk info app , and so i could figure out that these apps also use an other folder on the data partition ... so now it's fixed.
All recommendations are still welcome
Kuoi,
GREAT WORK! I can confirm that it is working. Here my observations:
- after I ran the ZIP the Google Apps (Google Play Movies, Google Play Games, Google Play Music) where still there but now it was possible to uninstall them within Lollipop.
- SIM Toolkit, Voice Memo and Video Editor are deleted as expected by executing the ZIP
- in your App your comment about SIM Toolkit is that you do not recommend to delete it. Why? I have deleted SIM-Toolkit and the LG G2 runs normally
- maybe you can add Youtube to the list?
- maybe you can add Music to the list - assuming that there are plenty of free music apps in Google Play
- in the safe LP debloater you can delete Mail - isn't that one of the basic apps that should remain in the OS?
- maybe it would be easier for you as developer and for users to put the safe and the extra debloater together into one ZIP. There you could maintain two categories (save and extra).
Regards,
Gregor

Thanks for the info.
Did you use D802 and stock LP rom to remove Google apps ? On my device they were deleted after the debloat and i didn't have to uninstall them afterwarts.
I'll delete the sim toolkit coomment because it's only with some sim's and in some countries it seems to give a little problem.
Youtube and music will be added soon
I'll keep mail on the debloater because i don't use Gmail ... it's not a necessary app to keep your phone working.
You're right .. i didn't think about it ,but I'll put the 2 versions together in 1 zip.
I could put them on 1 flash zip , but according to me the list would be too long and imo the extra is more for people who know what they're doing and what they're removing
Thanks for the reply
Hi Kuoi,
yes, D802 with stock LP but I got it as a ZIP (Software version V20b-OPEN-COM) to be installed through TWRP - so maybe it is not 100% original.
Regarding Mail I was referring to "LGEmail : LG email client". I understand that Gmail ist no a neccessary app.
Of course it is ok to have 2 ZIPs. But IMHO there are also some sophisticated apps in the safe ZIP, f. e.
- Facelock: I would not know of any app that can be engaged into setting
- LgNfc: it is required for the NFC hardware
- LGBrowser: ok you can use any other browser
But maybe I am mistaken since I am not too experienced with Android. So in the end your ZIPs are great so safe a lot of storage :good:
Regards,
Gregor
