[Q] Problems installing HTC OpenSense SDK - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to get setup to make my first app, and I'd like to get the HTC OpenSense SDK installed.
I downloaded the zip file, extracted it, figured out how to access it through the Android SDK Manager, but I get the following error:
"Downloading HTC SDK for Phones by HTC, Android API 10, revision 1
File not found: \addon_htc_phone_ext_1.0.zip (The system cannot find the file specified)"
I'm pointing the manager to the .xml file, and within that file is just the text 'addon_htc_phone_ext_1.0.zip' (no \ in front of it) so that tells me that the SDK manager itself is probably doing that.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? It's definitely accessing the .xml files it should be, so I'm not sure what else to do.
Is there a known online repository I can point it to for this install?
Thanks.

The sdk manager searches this file under "Android\android-sdk\temp" folder.
Just drop down your "addon_htc_phone_ext_1.0.zip" file under this folder and Enjoy!
If works, just don't forget the meter in the left corner!!!
bye

[Q/Help] How do I mod sms handling?

I got a problem with the way sms's are handled by HTC Sense(Its the HTC Desire).
I receive a sms from work on a daily basis, and thy contain a "/" (Slash as in "WorkPlaceName A/S") in the "from/sender" field instead of a phone number.
The problem is that the phone receives it, but discards it again because of the slash.
All sense based ROM's I've tried have all had this problem, but the non-sense froyo(2.2) ROM's are fine.
Now I want to change the behavior my self, but I don't know where to look.
I was thinking the kernel or somewhere in the ROM?
But I'm not sure.
I'll appreciate any help.
Anyone can help on this?
Does anyone know how would know?
Have you tried using Handcent instead of the HTC app? Since HTC's apps are not open source, it might not be easy to modify them although you could try 'APK Manager'.
Also, I recommend reading this if you want to understand how apps interact with the OS in Android - http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html

Yes i did try Handcent, but as far as I can see the problem runs deeper then that.
I tried almost all sms apps on the marked, and the sms's keeps getting deleted.
if there is any way to change it, you could most probably find it by decompiling the apks associated with the sms system.. Unfortunately I have no idea what file it would be, however you can convert the Android compiled XMLs with AXMLPrinter2.jar file, and edit the settings to get it to do what you want (though there is a better and more efficient way to do this.. I cant remember what the program is called to do it..)
You can get AXMLPrinter2.jar from here: Download
You have to have the java jre (java runtime environment), and here is the syntax:
1. rename the apk to a .zip file
2. extract the files to a folder
3. 1 by 1 go to the files you want and type (for example)
java -jar AXMLPrinter2.jar Rosie.xml > Rosie.txt
Like I said there is a better way. There is a program out there that will do the hard work on multiple files for you, however I can't remember the program name.

Thanks I'll try that.
But do you know the name of the HTC SMS apk?
I can only find MMS and mail.
Anyway I'll have a look at the MMS apk.

Installing pre-compiled binaries with android apk

I am trying to install some pre-compiled binary files along with my app but I am having a hard time finding documentation or code samples that I can use.
I have successfully pushed the files to the device using adb and I have been executing the files from the filesystem, but I would like to package them right in my app(apk file).
I am not sure if it is better to store them from assets folder or res/raw.
I also have two seperate directories with scripts in them that will need to be used by calling options from the executable binary.
I would like to have the binaries installed to the /data/data/com.<company_name>/<app_name>/bin directory, and the script folders installed to the /data/data/com/<company_name>/app_name/bin/scripts1 and scripts2 directories.
Are there any good tutorials or docs that can get me going?
i'm looking for something similar, too
is there a way to create an apk that only unzips a file to sdcard on install and deletes it on uninstall? (to prevent unfair use of 15min moneyback in market)
Was this ever solved? I am working towards a similar goal and cannot find information on this process.

[Q] Android Studio folder issues.

Hello!
When I downloaded Android Studio 1.1.0, everything worked fine. However now I'm worried that it might be broken even though I uninstalled it then reinstalled it.
First of all there is an odd 'New Project' tab asking me for gradle or java or griffin etc then asking me to enable a script template (A script opene with the main class).
But that isn't the real problem.
The real problen is in the file directory. As you know I should really have an App folder and the .ideas folder, but I only have the .ideas folder. I can't edit my project without my App folder! Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Help Decompiling/Recompiling Stock/System App with APK+ODEX

I've got a specialized Android box running 8.1. I also have a full system image for the machine.
Within the image is a custom app that I'd like to modify. I'm able to pull the APK and ODEX/VDEX files from the priv-app folder. I'm also able to deodex to get all of the smali files, and recreate the classes.dex.
This is about as far as I've gotten. I should also say I've never done this, so may not have all the necessary tools. At this point, I'm simply trying to create a new and functional full APK that can be installed on another machine.
For anyone following....
Once you've got your dex files, add it/them to the apk package. Install Visual Studio Code (the free general use version of Visual Studio). Then install the APKLab extension. With VS open, CTRL-Shift-P to bring up the command menu, where APKLab: Open an APK should be at the top. Select it, then choose the APK to open, along with the desired options. These are what I generally choose:
-decompile_java (much easier to read the java than smali code, although it cannot be edited)
-force-manifest
-no-debug-info
-deobf
-show-bad-code
*unselect only-main-classes
Make any edits within the smali. In the left side Explorer menu, right click apktool.yml and select APKLab: Prepare for HTTPS Inspection. When complete, right click apktool.yml and select APKLab: Rebuild the APK. Your newly compiled APK will be placed in the "dist" folder.

Question one+-latest do it all tool

i found this on a gsm forum thought id share it here
32.33 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
I have this... its not worked for me so far
This is a windows .bat file that is "protected" and is written to work with Android 11 and half the functions are not the same with the Android 12 ColorOS base version. If the author would have shared it with the .bat file in plain text, someone might have updated it and left his credit and not just stole his work and renamed it.
Not everyone embraces open source ideals.
Yes this work with os11 not for os12
All you have to do is run the exe, then browse to where it extracts the contents to. IE:
c:\Users\<username>\appdata\local\temp
....

You have not dealt with well written .bat file obfuscation. I have the .bat file, but it has been run through a tool that converts the editable ASCII into expressions and different encoded base (x) that are more work to resolve than to re-write the batch file.
Challenge: Make this working executable .bat file plain ascii again.
Your story, tell it like you believe it ;-)
Honestly though, why not look for your self? Ive already done it with this "tool". Not obfuscated at all. If yer having problems finding the files, run the EXE, choose one menu option, go to yer temp DIR and sort the contents by date modified, and with the FILES listed first, scroll down to where it starts listing directories. It will be the first one listed. Have fun!
\\'eird dunno why it didnt attach the file to the previous post. I should have made clear that the file you seek was located in the tmp directory thats created under the parent directory... You seemed to know what you were talking about, so I assumed little to no hand-holding would be needed...
Its worth mentioning that all of these bat2exe tools use the same (or nearly the same..) method for urm ehhh "obfuscation"; IE: upon running the app, it inflates the files to your appdata\local\temp directory. Sometimes the "app" will be password protected, and wont unpack the exe until the correct password is entered. For myself its force of habit to go check my temp dir after running any of these style tool things... And you should too!
