Hi,
Can someone remind me where to place the .apk`s data file please? Google is not my friend!
I have installed the apk and have the com. file but for the life of me can remember where to put it!?
Com. Files go in sdcard/android/data
However there are some apps that require it to be on a folder named obb which you need to create on sdcard/android. Normally the website where you downloaded the app should say where to put it down, if not try the first one
Hope it helps

Now is that a com.xxxxxxxxxx.whatever.huh folders? Or com.appnamehere.apk's?

Hi..
I wanted to change the contact images in the framework-res. I've done so far, but when I folded the new framework-res with the mod-tool push, then that too, but he shows me the new image does not accumulate in handy.
I can do or what?
My steps:
1. I replace the corresponding image (PNG format) with 7zip
2. im sending the new framework-res or contact.apk via adb mask controller on my x10i
3. reboot
4. im showing in contacts and the image ist the same as before
looking like a rat i handle it?
"Title: Edit Contact Picture"
you should edit "contacts.apk" located in "/system/app" not "framework-res.apk"

Have you resigned the apk?

no, like I do that?
Google it. But you will need the Android SDK or at least latest JDK and there is a script somewhere here on XDA called autosign or something like that. You will need to install those than remove the meta-inf from the modified apk put the apk file in the folder for autosign (make sure theres only one apk in the folder) then run autosign and it will create a new apk called your_signed_apk then rename it and push back to your phone.
Search "resigning apk files" and read. Theres an old thread somewhere for changing app icons i think that has everything you need to know.

System apps don't need to be signed. If you look in framework-res.apk, there's no META-INF directory.
Are you sure you replaced the framework-res.apk file correctly? I posted some info about framework-res.apk here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11193663#post11193663
As always, back up with xRecovery before messing around with framework-res.apk. One mistake and you won't be able to boot.
I think most stock apps actually might not need to be signed, now that i think about it though. You might just need to make sure you remove the unmodified app first (copy it somewhere first for a backup) and then manually put the apk in, set permissions correctly and then reboot. This apk signing trick allows you to modify any app to change shortcut icons or customize anything you want and reinstall it correctly so it should come in handy anyways.

I have searched the Market and Google but cannot find the app I need.
Basically, I am looking for an app where I can put files and folders into a zip or rar file, and password protect them.
Does anyone know of such an app?
Thanks

Haven't used it for a long time but give a try to ES File Explorer.
Rot explorer will let you zip up files but I'm not sure about the password protect part.
Have you tried androzip?
Edit: I just checked and androzip will allow you to put a pw on zip files. Its free in the market as best as I can remember.

I created sub folder named Photos which obviously included all the pictures storage and from camera. I opened two screen in myWin7 pc to easily move the files. Surprised for me the sub folder PHOTOS destapar without any notice. For a while I think could be move to another folder but I revised one by one and nothing happen. I revised Recicle Folder and it's empty.

No way. I checked both. PC and phone. It's curious. I know it's exist some apps to rescue recicled/erase files on PC. I don't remember the name to test both phone and pc.
Thanks for your help guy.

Undelete for root users and hexamob recovery, both in play store, may be what you're looking for on your phone. As far as your pc I can't help you there.

Just open the original .apk in 7-Zip, find the files, delete them and then put your new ones in. The have to be exactly the same name. You don't need to decode the apk or resign it.
Some apks won't work like this but very few in the end so you should be okay.

when i did this the app don't install on my device..
The 7-zip method not always will work. I use that to edit cyanogenmod themes to best fit my phone, but sometimes I can't install the apk, neither through adb nor file manager

Try smali the whole apk , replace the pictures then compile it again, using Apk tool.
I'll do this on the go a the time as a matter of fact I did the tsfshell PCB blue theme with the traverse grapheme icons earlier...I do it by using root explorer extract the app and replace whatever you want as long as the file names are the same when done zip everything back up and rename from zip to app then move to system apps or data apps set proper permissions and reboot .....I do it from my cell hope this helps

If I remember correctly, you rename the folder that you want hidden using a period before the name of the folder i.e. .appfolder

Thank you for reply dear.
I did above thing but its not working. Can you elaborate pro-grammatically how can i do this. Because at run time how can i change name of the folder with "." prefix.
