[Q] After Installation hide folder from SDCARD - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an application. And in application i put a folder xyz.zip in assets folder which is extracting and made a folder with same name(xyz) at same place which have lots of files. So i need to hide all files from xyz folder after installation of application.Please suggest me how can i do this in my app.
Thanks in advance.

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.

Edit Concat Picture

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?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
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.

Copy "BootSamsung.qmg" "BootSamsungloop.qmg"
to your pc. change the file extension to .zip and then open with Winrar . You will see a series of numbered images. Edit them or replace them with your image inside winrar. Save it .
Now change the extension .zip to original .qmg and transfer them on phone. set the permission .

apk .com files

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

First of all, which ROM are you using? Get the ROM's "zip" file. In the "zip" file, you will find the "system" folder. Open the "system" folder, and you will find the "app" folder. In the "app" you will get the apk named "Settings.apk".
If you are modding your ROM, it is necessary that you "sign" the apk. Else, it won't work.
Assuming that you are using apktool:
Unpack apk using apktool, do all the editing and stuff.
Open up the original "Settings.apk", and extract the "META-INF" folder and "AndroidManifest.xml" file from it.
Pack the apk using "apktool b Settings"
Now, copy the META-INF and the AndroidManifest.xml files/folders into Settings/build/apk folder and paste it (replace files if necessary)
Then, re-build the apk using "apktool b Settings"
Now, push the app, and apply the permissions correctly. In most cases, it is 644.

But its not finish because of that apk

As I said, system apps don't work if they aren't signed properly. And, the method that I use for signing is just "another" method. There are other methods too For simplicity, you can use any of the "apk tools" that other developers have created for simplicity.
