I really need help on this, I've been trying to get this to work for days. I took the OBB file and extracted it to Data/com.rockstar.gta3/files. So now I have the models folders and everything along with the gta3.set and the B files.I took the "oldveh_unc.dxt" file and opened it with the IMG Tool, I deleted the old files and replaced it with the modified ones. Once that was done, I hit rebuilt archive, after that I put the Oldveh_unc.dir and Oldveh_unc.dxt files into the models folder. When I opened GTA my phone downloaded another OBB file.
My problem is that no matter what mods I try to install, none of them work. I've tried installing a Lamborghini Police Car mod for example and the only thing that changed was the handling file, so now the I just have an extremely fast police car and the back bumper keeps dragging along the ground.
I've spent days trying to figure this out and I really need help. Please don't direct me to any Youtube video(because trust me, I've probably seen it.) or the XDA "GTA 3 Android Modding" post because I've already read it and it doesn't help. I think my problem is that I need to do something else to get the game to read the modified files or something but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'd very much appreciate your guy's help.

Hey guys, would greatly appreciate the help with installing swype.
My first concern is what i've been seeing with users being locked out of their phone due to incorrect passwords after installing swype. Does anyone have the cab for a version of swype that DEFinitely does not do this?
And onto my biggest problem:
When i copy the cab onto my external memory and run the "_SETUP" file on my STOCK FILE EXPLORER it just opens the file as if it was a link on a website.
Do i need to download a new file explorer? or can i just use the one that came with the phone.
I cant seem to find a Do it yourself tutorial anywhere online please help!!
I have a hd2 from hong kong.
basically, stay away from swype 3.9 from the tmous. it checks your model and if it isn't a tmous it messes with the password.
as to the _setup issue, it sounds like you have unpacked the .cab
the pc will see a cab and think it is a type of zip, with (usually) 4 files inside, and try to unpack it if you double click it. instead, you should move the whole filename.cab as a single file to the phone and run it from there.
hey samsamuel. thanks for your help
i'm at work right now but will try this when i'm home. just a qick question, do you have any suggestions as to which version of swype i should downlioad?
i know there are many versions out there and am curious as to what a veteran like yourself chose,
many thanks
i use v2.i'll post it when i get home.
Im trying to teach myself here and actually reading unlike others at times, but What my GOAL: is to remove the GPS icon in my ROM when it is not active. I may be wrong so please correct me if I am...
I started with "APKtool" to decompile my "systemUI.apk" I then edited "HtcCdmaStatusBar.smali" located in "com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy"
I ran into a problem with compiling it back together with errors (after trying for hours to find my mistake) I moved on to...
"APK-Manager"
Again following instructions I decompiled "systemUI.apk" using "com.htc.resources.apk" as well since its a system file..
It seems to have worked, it said to delete whatever I modified in the "keep" folder well the ".smali" files don't appear only XML and system images but I went ahead and tried to take that "SystemUI.apk" that I recompiled with the edited files and dropped it in my phone via root manager
(well yea that didnt seem to work)
I moved on to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549309
I used it as a reference to edit the files I wanted to and not the the ones that were on the guide. well I had no errors and I and did everthing correctly, as i thought and the finally step I pushed the "SystemUI.apk" via adb and then rebooted
That resulted in a force close on my "status bar" i believe it said when I booted it up, after i cleared the force close my phone worked fine except the fact I had NO TASKBAR what so ever...
I am running "Showdown 1.0'

Where did the thread go? Dont see it in Q &A forum??? Having the same problem
I was JUST having a very similar issue.. I was trying to decompile and recompile rosie but it kept giving me errors. Someone said try apkmanager 4.9 (I was using 5) and my problems went away. Also I noticed if you are using a file that has already been modified apkmanager didnt seem to like that. I had to take a stock one, make the xml changes, build it then replace whatever images I had replaced in the original
and now I cant get the ***** to build right. I'm not trying to mod it so the pull down notification bar is semi-transparent but it wont build correctly

Ok, I have read and read and am still stumped. Let me explain. I have a game decompiled and want to add a file to it that will copy itself to a certain location upon install. Here it is--
My goal is to take a copy of my profile.sav and insert it into the decompiled apk, possibly in the res/raw directory. When I install the .apk, I want the profile.sav to be moved to the /data/data/com.myapp.here/app_Documents/ directory. I am learning here and this is solely for the purpose of making my apps custom for me. To be able to install the app and have my settings already in place, negating the need for a backup/restore would be ideal for me. Besides, it just seems a really interesting thing to learn. Thank you in advance for all you help folks!
OH, also I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601629 But, The last post by Gene Pool is provided with code. Problem is, I have no idea where to insert this code, or if it is even useful for what I am trying to do. Thanks Again!
I guess this wont be as simple a task as I had hoped.

Hi,
I have a HTC incredible s with sensitive buttons not working. So I decided to install ICS on it (I have virtous quattro ) and to enable On Screen Buttons.
I tried to get the apktool working, it decompiles, but when trying to build I' ve got all kind of errors. Maybe it's something in my config that went wrong but anyway, I give up on this.
I would like someone to modify this file and rebuild it for me so I can install it on my phone.
I tried to follow these instructions
Thank you
i never got apktoolkit to work with "the latest" jar on ics files. you'll find dozens of people complain all over the net about this. the fix is simple, decompile your framework with an older version. decompile and compile apks with the latest. i have no idea why, it just worked, after spending days on this.
the problem right now is, i have no idea whom to credit for this, i found the info on a page somewhere in the net, he even included the tools. and since im not on my computer i cant give you the correct version numbers. maybe later if you haven't found it by yourself then.

okay, looked it up. you need 1.4.2 (!) for decompiling the framework-res. you need 1.4.3 (!) for decompiling everything but, and compiling.
this is from memory, there could be errors. install framework, decompile it and put it back together.
apktool142 if framework-res.apk
apktool142 d framework-res.apk
apktool143 b framework-res
update,
just by searching for the version numbers right now i found somethig interesting on rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16728-how-to-random-mods-for-the-do-it-yourself-er/page__st__10 this could reduce the hassle. i'll use it myself if it works.
Ok i'll try when getting back home.
Thank you
this version really works: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/405475/working-apktool.zip
i got it from the linked rw thread. it seems to fix two major issues:
- you needed 1.4.2 & 1.4.3 to compile ICS apk's - not anymore
- you needed to run apktool in the same folder in which your apk is located - put it whereever you want
it's the first time that tool doesn't give me a major headache. although i do recognize how much work it must have been to write it, i only whish it had error checking in it, stupid little things like having the jar file in the same folder cost me days to figure out because the error messages just blurb about nothing at all. whatever, now it works ... happy modding!
edit:
seems like aapt.exe still needs to be present locally in the same folder for whatever reason.
I'm trying that righ now. It builds OK. I didn't realized that it was so complicated to put the framework back in the phone
wow. incredible. I managed to get my lazy ass to understand and put all that back on the phone. Everything seems ok except when I build I have this lil warning "W: Could not find sources".
Put that on the phone via adb push and reboot, nothing ! It's like I've done nothing !
I've been able to modify framework-res.apk successfully using this set of instructions:

It will be my try for tomorrow. Thank you !
for ics or gingerbread??
ICS. I'm on virtuous quattro
Hi guys,
Long time lurker first time poster. I've always been handy enough to follow the clues on xda forum to be able to work things out and google, but this time around I'm stuck and would appreciate a few leads... maybe I'm google-ing the wrong terms.
Anyways, I'm looking to get more info on directory structures on the phone and microsd card.
Let me explain: After rooting my phone and putting a new ROM on it, I noticed that the ROM does does not read my sd card. I looked it up and apparently the rom had a new structure on jb (or was it ics, I can't remember,) and there was a fix that I needed to run in recovery which fixed it, when I changed to a different ROM (was running sentinelRom and now slimrom) it didn't read again and I ran the file in recovery again.
This time I noticed that the kinda added extra directories and I'm not sure which one the rom is using.
As an example, I noticed that when I went into es explorer, there would be similar directories within each other (ie. device/0/0 .....)
and since I've gotten notice that I'm running low on space, I noticed under storage that the directory /0 is taking the most space.
Problem is I don't want to just delete it... the last time I tried to clear a directory I deleted some files that were being used. (luckily they were only sound files, ) so somehow, certain directories are being used by the rom, I'm just not sure which one....
Anyways, I would be much obliged if someone could point me in the right direction on where I can get info or be able to clean up my directories before I upgrade to the kitkat version of my ROM.
Thanks in advance folks!

Have a look in the stickies thread. Described over there why there is a new structure and how to move files...
