I recently built a free app using mobile.conduit.com now i want to customize it. I've searched the forums HI/LOW
Ive used apk tools to decompile and build with my changes but nothing seems to work. I've also followed some threads about "signing" an application.
Their dev site is really generic and there isnt much info on any of their proprietary server API. I'm trying to do two things, clean up the intrusive code that is digging for personal information and other unnecessary phone controls AND use MetaMorph to theme the app I created but when I do either the app doesnt load thereafter.
Anyone know what local directory the app installs to? Or have any other suggestions?
I am also open to paying a developer for a proof of concept migrating a few thousand rows of Excel data into a functioning user friendly app. This project is for my company and they are looking at around a $1500 start up budget.
Thanks!

I've got a simple question that perhaps somebody could answer. I know that there are some alternative markets available on the net...some of which look exactly like the android market. I was curious to know if there is some kinda open source project (or the like) for a custom alternative market.
The reason I ask is because it would come in great handy for my business. We have a few in-house apps that are currently distributed to managers as APKs via email. It would be great if we could have a central market for which managers can update our apps from as opposed to manually sending them out, at which point they must be installed manually.
I thought I saw something a while back about some type of market framework, but now I can't find any reference to it.
Any information on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure that I've understood completely what you meant, but you can check out Handster or the new Facebook-based Market - ESDN.
I think he is thinking of an app that would allow him to distribute apks to "in-house" business phones.
There are lots of "market-like" apps out there - SlideME, Amazon Appstore, Handster, etc. I haven't seen or heard of any market software that is open-source, however.
Alrighty...I guess it was worth a shot. Though it would be pretty cool if something like that existed. Thanks for the replies guys.

While that is an alternative market, it's not exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking for an open source alternative which would enable me to use my own repository.
I think my search has ended though...I came across an open source project call aptoide:aptoide.com
It does enable me to setup my own repository, and I think that's what I'll be going with.
Interesting... looks like I'll be adding a new element to my primary source server as well.
An alternative would be to use dropbox and allow your people to sideload the apps. The phones would have to be provisioned to do so, however.
AppBrain is real good.
Aptoid and apktor - google for them.
Aptoid.com have a php script to generate xml file for android clients, but somehow it did not work for me.
See aptoid.com server section.
Im thinking about python script, but i dont have any programming skills
Dude just go to blapkmarket.com
Thats it. Your problems are solved

Moving to Q&A
I recently discovered (and published an app on) moborobo market. It looks interesting.
Another recent market I tried is opera market.
Ok, I am looking at an online Android/iPhone app builder. They either offer the option to build one for free with unlimited downloads or you can pay yearly with different tiers for different download limits. The difference being that the free one has ads.
Anyways, when asked about just creating the app with their site, then hosting it on your own server and having everyone download it from there instead of paying the yearly fees, the site owner made this statement.
" my personal opinion in the long run you will pay more in this case because every time when apple releaes new iOS (like 6 now) or android has new phone (like samsung galaxy S 3 now) you will have to purchase new binary code from us that supports the latest updates/fixes."
Is this true? I don't see how each new device that comes out will require an update in your app.
Also, as stated, if you pay the yearly fee for the lowest amount of downloads, I assume they can only track downloads from Google Play or the Apple app store. I don't see any way they can track downloads from my own server hosting the .apk file. Anyone have any insight on this to correct me if I'm wrong?
For the record, I'm just looking to develop an app to play my Shoutcast Streaming audio station. I make no profit on the station, so have no capital to spend over $1K a year to have an Android and iPhone app. I mainly want to give it to my friends, and make it available to anyone who visits my Website. I really like the design that I did with this site, and am willing to pay something for it, just not worth $1K./year....
Anybody?
Have you tried installing the official Android Software Development Kit on your computer, and making the app yourself? You don't need to use an online service, and you choose exactly what gets compiled into the apk (ads, Google analytics, etc.).

Thank you for the reply.
I actually do have the SDK installed, and am looking into what it takes to make my own app. But, don't I have to know xml and Java to create apps using the SDK?
You do need to know those two languages.

That online service allows you to write apps without knowing xml or Java?

Yes, it's kind of like Appinventor, all visual, just assemble the parts and stuff.
It's nice, just kinda pricey. I once posted the job on freelancer.com and got offers for about as much as this company is asking, and with freelancer I would have owned the app afterwards.
But, again, it's kinda hard to foot the bill when it's a non profit app.
Ok, I'm off to learn XML and Java.......
Oh, almost forgot.... the original questions...

any ideas anyone?
I think he means every time Google releases an update to Android (updated OS, not new device). So, for example, you build your app to run on Jelly Bean. But when Key Lime Pie comes out, your app may not work as expected on those devices running KLP. Then, you'd have to pay them to recompile your app with updated binaries, or risk losing market share.
If your app is really simple and would run fine on Android 2.2 and up, then that "purchase new binary" thing is not applicable.
But, hell, if you're willing to learn XML & Java... go for it!
Hi everyone,
So the company that provides the TV channels in my country (like the cable companies in the US) has a streaming service that streams most of these channels online to phones, tablets, computers.
The problem is that their app is, according to them "not supported on hacked devices". Just so we're clear, we're talking about Android here, and hacked = root/custom rom, which this stupid company considers illegal. In some devices, they check both root and custom rom, in some only one of them, and in some the app will work even if you have both. For example, on my Nexus 4 the app worked with stock rom that was rooted. Now that I am running a custom rom, trying to hide root using various apps does not work. So obviously the problem, with my device at least, is running the custom rom.
I'm currently learning Java & Android development and have decided to use the little knowledge that I have to try to find the lines of code responsible for this idiotic check.
I looked up many tools for decompiling apps and have finally found a good one, called JadX.
http://androidcracking.blogspot.co.il/2014/03/jadx-dex-to-java-decompiler.html#links
This decompiler is excellent, but gives me a scary amount of code files to look. Even so, trying to search all of them (JadX has that functionality) for the code that checks for root/custom rom has turned up nothing. I have also tried to search for the message they give me when I open the app (about hacked devices not working) but I found nothing, again.
One more thing - a developer that also tried to solve this problem said he traced the problem back to DxDrmDlcCore. I searched it, found it a some class, but not sure what to do now (delete the entire class and recompile?)
Can someone here direct me towards what I need to be looking for?
OR
Is the solution really simple, such as editing my build.prop? Someone suggested it once, but did not know what lines to edit.
If someone is ready to step up to the challenge, I can upload the apk.
Thank you!
Actually I wish I could be able to use my App Inventor programming skills to develop a fully or partially functional launcher apps. But there's no functionality present over that platform. I Googled every bit of information available over the Internet but alas i didn't find anything useful and additionally I didn't want my hands to get dirty on programming complex codes to create such app. So I arrived to this forum and finally decided to ask advanced members of XDA-DEVELOPERS forum to find solutions for my query.
Okay, now I realised after much experimenting with AI2 that so isn't possible at all!
Lol, just mess it up and use other tools.

Is there any way to convert website into android app? I have a website carpet cleaner picks and I want to make an app as well. What I want is complete website must be converted into android app? This is something called webview or something like that if I am not wrong.
There have been dedicated apps for that, which in time lost functionality.
You can fiddle with the Sketchware app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.besome.sketch which is a very simple visual programming app for Android, and put together an app which opens a webview of your site. You can build anything on that even without being a programmer.
See what I did with the website of our scientific society (and I'm no programmer at all): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.debernardis.SITD_in_tasca
EDIT: unfortunately Sketchware, last version, has new problems with showing webviews. Until they fix that, my solution is unfeasible. Already built apps are still working.
