[Q] 2nd Facebook app. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
I want to log 2 FB accounts on my phone. the 1st acc, im using native FB app on playstore, and i did try several apps for the 2nd account. but after all, IMO, native FB app is still the best now, and i want to use it too for the 2nd acc.
it means i have to install FB app twice on my phone. i google for some days and find out, changing the package name and app name of FB app to something else would let me install it twice. so this what i did:
- decompile latest FB app version 3.2.1.
- change package name from com.facebook.kanata to com.facebook.kanata2
- change app name from Facebook to Facebook2 in string file.
- recompile & sign.
all successful, but i cant install that modified app. my phone shows app not installed.
so do i miss something in modifying or it is just impossible to do that?
Thanks in advance and im looking forward to your help.
p.s: Im sorry if my thread isnt meant to be here.

Nope your thread isn't meant to be here. It should be in q and a. Report it and have it moved.
Regards

What error are you getting ?
Is it "Application not installed " , then it is signing error. Apk was not signed properly.
If it is parsing error, then apk was not correctly packed .
If so , then it is a signing problem. I can sign your apk , if you upload it here.

Install that app (zip signer 2 ) on your phone and sign the apk and then install it.
Alternatively try the attached apk. I have signed with test key. and it is working on sensation.

If u want it to be ur default mail app , rename it to exchange.apk, go to system/app and replace it insted of ur current email app which should be (exchange.apk) , do this using root browser lite , and then change the permissions by holiding on the exchange app and choose permissions , then make sure it looks like this :
Read Write Excute
Owner x x
Group x
Others x
And click ok , reboot and it should be ur default app for emails :good:

Try moving ur current email app(exchange) to your sdcard from system/app
And then move the cm9 email app to system/app and change permissions and reboot
If anything didnt work , just put your old email app back

Its a system app , cant be installed like another app , even if u delete your email app , u have to copy it to ssystem/app to work , u cant install it
Why dont you root via the advanced stock kernel ? its the stock kernel +root+cwm
Very stable

Yes I know.
But I have the Yellow tint issue, and I'm going to send it to repair... soon.
I re-locked the bootloader... and I dont want to unlock-it again before sending it.
I just dont understand why cant be installed as an normal app... it needs special permissions/access? it's implemented differently from other email clients?

Root via advanced stock kernel

Black gmail

Anyone have inverted gmail apk? Does this exist?
yes there a couple out I do not if they are compatible for both ICS and/JB but
One of the themeer is Kwes1020 he is part of the Aokp I saw he just made one last week
To find most of these you would need to check out the Play store.
Good Luck oka1

I'm thinking you are going to want that file as an APK ..
Have you contacted the developer of the app ? He/She will be your best source for information and support ....g
I messaged the developer but have not received a response. If its not an exe then how will I install it?
Use google..its your friend..and you dont ever use or need .exe for droid... you use .apk

APK's are installed from your file browser app. a simple long press of the app will give you option to install it. ( If the developer set the app up properly)....
If the app is correctly packaged, the only additional step is to check the "unknown sources" box in the applications settings.....and the app will install..once you select "install" of course..g

Yeah ,i kinda did so i don't really know where to go on from here , only camera and message apk is giving me problem , other are fine
WARNING:
Damn! I even did not realize I am providing system APPs to Non-Developer (N00B). Hey just dont replace them without any proper knowledge and method. You may bootloop the phone. There are many other things related with system apps like this. Simply deleting them and pasting other APKs just because you are rooted, does not work. Proper permissions, framework compatibility in various builds, data/media folder/message server mappings, etc are required to be reset or checked.

[Q] How to remuve menus from settings.apk?

i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there
