Hey guys, the title says it all. I did a google search but came up with a lot of unanswered xda threads. Does anybdoy know? If they do, could they post a guide? It would help a lot of people!
Bump, anyone?
This may or may not do the trick...I can't try because my Ubuntu is messed up! Here you go...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491689
I'm working on installing it on my Windows PC.
Yes indeed, my tool is able to do resizing.
The point is I don't know what key to sign with xD
I will try and experiment tomorrow

Wich error?
I'm not sure...
I can resize APKs for you, I just did one for invasion and that worked.
About fedora:
Open a terminal and type this (w/o quotes):
"python"
Tell me the output
"import gtk
import pygtk"
Give me the FULL output of your new-opened terminal.
Then try to launch the SAP file from my tool.

Hi everyone!
I hope someone here will have an asnwer for my question...
So , the question is, How can I know for sure, which Android version runs on my device, if I don't trust the information
provided in "build.prop" file.
Specifically, how can I be sure I have an ICS and not GB ?
Thank you in advance!

Furthermore if your running ICS for android version it should have a number ranging from 4-4.04.

Thanks, but both answers don't help in my case, as they do use the contents of "build.prop".
In my case, I don't trust "build.prop" , and hence looking for alternative ways to determine the Android version.

What's your beef with build.prop? The only other way I know is to download a ROM of your choice, unzip it, Look in META-INF>com>android> and open up the metadata file and you should be able to see it in there. But, I suppose that could be fudged as well. Is someone launching some sort of Android conspiracy against you?

If Google Chrome is available to you on the play store, you have ICS. If its not you have GB. Furthermore you could download an ICS only app and if it says there is an error parsing the package then you have GB

LOL .
OK I'll explain myself...
I have a chinese phone, which runs Android.
Manufacturer , releases new ROMs from time to time.
Last few ROMs, were "4.0.3", as it was written in "build.prop", but after installation,
I saw there is no Right to Left support, and for me , that is a sign, that the ROM isn't really 4.0.3,
as (AFAIK) 4.0.3 supports RTL out ofthe box...
Now, I still hope they will release real 4.0.X ROM some day, but till then, I don't want
to install every ROM they release. I want to identify whether ROM is 2.3.6 or 4.0.X before I Install it,
and not based on "build.prop".
So, I hope now you have full explanation, and will be able to help.
Thanks!

I thing that if you go to Settings/ about phone/ and in android version you do a lot of clicks you will force to saw a picture with the version of android loock this:

Wow, that is really nice trick!
I wasn't aware of it. Thanks!
Though, the problem is to know ROM's Android version , before I install it on the device.
So it is not a solution to my problem...
Ah, and that phone has an iPhone look menus , so there is no way to perform that trick, unfortunately...

I did notice your post, thank you.
But the whole point of my question/problem , to identify the Android version on ROM,
without installing it to device.

I can make app that will say if you are running ICS or JB or GB!
I'll send you it tomorrow!
It checks api level of the system.
If its 16=JB , 15= ICS, 11 or 12=GB

Can you please explain what should be checked ?
I mean what can I check in ROM (it is CWM installable ZIP file ) , in order to know
which Android version it has?
But again, I don't want to install it! I want to know that from inspecting the ROM itself!
Thanks!

Download the rom open it with 7zip and go to system-SW_configuration.xml
Open it with notepad++ and check the firmware.
The same thing you can do it with root explorer in your phone.
I don't believe he changed all the xml's just to make users believe is an ICS rom
To check for ICS:
Look at the file's /system/bin .
If it contains a binary called sh it's Gingerbread .
If it contains a binary called mksh then it's ICS .

Hello, I have a few questions concerning the Polaroid PMID4311 (a cheapo 4.3 inch allwinner CPU device running 4.0 my little brother picked up). Fist off let me say I am no noob at android, and have had much experience modding my galaxy player. The problem is he wants to play some Gameloft games (nova 2, asphalt 6), but of course they give infamous "this device is not compatible request a refund" message. So no biggie, I just change the model in build.prop, right? Now here is the mystery; it doesn't make any difference what I change the model to - it still gives the error and still shows the original model under "about device" in system settings. I have done this countless times on other devices with no problem. I have checked the default.prop, and the boot image is insecure (ro.secure=0). The device came rooted. Any thoughts? Also, if anyone has this device, I seem to have lost my backup of the original build.prop, and would appreciate a copy. Thank you!

Ok.. Try compiling it on your computer once finished? That may help.

Try compiling the Build.prop once edited (Edit, Save, Compile.) If that doesn't work google.

I use notepad++ on windows, but have also edited it on the device using root explorer. I know this isn't the issue since certain properties will work if I change them (example: I can change the firmware version from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2).

Ok, get root explorer plus, using web. Edit build.prop with text editor. Delete backup. Turn off tablet. Turn back on. Done!

Dude, I'm not an idiot! I have been telling you I have already done this multiple times. I know perfectly well how to edit a build.prop, but what I am saying it's it seems to have no effect on this device for some reason. I really don't need to figure it out anymore since I just edited the apks to remove the compatibly check.
Sent from my YP-G1 running Nebula B1
Sorry was more stupid back then get root explorer and edit it once you have done so reboot. If that doesn't work maybe what you are trying to do on there doesn't work look at the experience in my eyes

Hi all, is there a way to stop an app requesting an update and continue with the current one installed?
Basically I have an app, today when I tried to open it, it told me it can't open and that I must upgrade to the latest version to open, but I don't want to do that.
Is there a way to mod the app/apk to allow current use going forward?
Lucky pathcher or anything like that.
All I am looking for is to continue with using the app build I currently have, without updating, and still have the app/apk work.

I think that's not what he meant. OP, mean you can't use the app anymore without a mandatory update right? Would like to know if that's possible too..
In titanium backup you can 'unlink' the app from the market.....
I've never used the function, but it *sounds* like it's what you're after....
Edit.......
Read this article......

you could try to disable its internet permission, using some apps or some custom rom that has this feature (custom Jellybean 4.2.2 AOSP, ecc...): it will not be able to communicate externally.
Other way is: editing smali code in the app itself, however you should know how to unpack it (apk multitool) and searching for the string that says "update your version to continue" and know a bit of code editing. I succeeded myself in doing some small changes to apps this way but it takes time and it might be not worth it.

i have downloaded it on my linux, and have all the folders, the part i don't get is, how do i build it? Because i don't have to edit anything, it's already compiled for my phone. But i just don't get how to build it, so i get the files i need to zip!
