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...

did anyone try this??
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

Hi All,
I have Xperia ARc 2.3.4 (updated and Rooted)... however I have installed all the games but they are not working at all...
1. Installed Spiderman HD total Mayhem, it downloads all the SD data over Wifi, and when I run it... it runs but shows black character(spiderman) and white backgound in the whole game.
2. I installed NOVA 2 HD, it downloads all SD data and then after loading loading....it crashes and come backs to homescreen.
3. I installed Modern Combat but it also crashes to homescreen after tutorial video...
Please help me out to install these games perfectly. and let me know if they require some other custom ROM to play, and please give me the link where I can get these games which run perfectly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Good day, I changed the LCD density of my epic to 190 & now play store says "Your device isn't compatible with this version" I understand that a good fix for this is to revert back to the default density, however somewhere in the past I heard about a fix that will enable me to patch the market but I cant seem to find the right one. .I would really appreciate anyone's help thanks
Help anyone? thanks
You need to set the density to 240, go to settings>apps>all and clear the data for playstore, reboot, open playstore and hit accept when it asks about terms and conditions, set your density back to 190 or whatever you want(you can't go below 185 with out a modded phone.apk) then reboot and your market will work normally. This needs to be done anytime the market updates itself to have the market think the density is at stock value. I haven't found an updated playstore with the mod and the playstore auto updates itself in the background so using an old version with the mod will just update itself to the newest version anyways

Please direct that to someone that better knows this device, it's a completely different brand and so the issue could be different as well.

You can install a different music player from google play.e.g.Winamp
Personally,I prefer XENOAMP.
What do you mean by "phone" ?Do you mean "Dialer" ?
Try Angel Dialer or install a different launcher like Launcher Pro or GO launcher.
Hi guys... i have little problem here , i've downloaded movies latest version...
it works on stock android 404.. but if then i flash walkman port movies force closes... does anyone know what the problem?
try to uninstall movies then install it again. see if it works.
if not then the walkman port probably modified a system file shared amongst the apps in your rom that rendered the movies app unusable, i am thinking it probably has something to do with framework-res.apk or something else.
i suggest you choose which one to keep, movies or walkman?
have a nice day!
