Hi All,
To start off, I don't like the FM app on the xperia x10 mini. I have set about to changing it.
Under Windows XP, this is where I am:
1) Pulled the Radio.apk and FmRxService.apk off of the /system/apps folder
2) Pulled the libfm_stack.so off of the /system/lib folder
3) dex2jar.bat on each item in #1 above
4) Also, EasyApkDisassembler.EN.bat on each item in #1 above to a separate area
5) Viewed the output of #3 above inside jd-gui
6) Read through some of the code and found a missed linkage
7) Saw libfm_stack.so was an ELF File, so probably raw native and no java disasm applicable.
I do not know the next step, so asking for you help. How do I resolve a missed class?
The concrete example is, in the class 'ChipControllerImpl' there is a member variable
.field private mFmChip:Lcom/ti/fm/FmReceiver;
or
private FmReceiver mFmChip;
I can't find the FMReceiver inside the jd-gui (step #6) and I can't find it declared in any files output as of step #4. Also, I tried poking around the file system of the x10 mini and did not see anything that might contain Lcom/ti/fm/FmReceiver. Does anyone know which steps are the next ones to try and locate a missing class?
[EDIT] Putting answer here and leaving the question in case it helps others. I had to delete the Radio.apk out of system/app using adb shell. Then I had to re-install the radio, which put it in with the rest of the dynamic apps. Then I had to uninstall it rather than delete it. This cleaned the app data and allowed successful installation. Following that I edited the smali code and disabled the check about airplane mode and can now run the FM Radio in airplane mode. More editing lies ahead based on this successful proof of concept.
And a little more request for help.
Tried seeing if it does not matter that I don't have that class resolved.
I did this under XP:
1) Used Easy Apk Disassembler
2) (2) DISASSEMBLY a classes.dex with smali
3) Viewed the files int he output directory
4) (3) ASSEMBLY a classes.dex with baksmali
5) Viewed out.dex
6) Removed META-INF and classes.dex in the Radio.apk
7) Added out.dex and renamed as classes.dex
8) (4) Sign an APK
9) Saw the size was a bit bigger than the original Radio.apk, but nothing drastic
10) Tried to install it
Result: Application was able to view permissions and asked if i wanted to replace existing (I had deleted Radio.apk from /system/app already). I said yes to replacement. Then it said Install Failed.
Seems if I can't disassemble and then re-assemble without changes I will be stuck from where I want to go here. Any advice?

I had to make some changes to system-apps, I have a lot of problems with them.
What I have tried after the error: App stopped: I have copied z. B. SystemUI.apk (not changed) only from the phone to my laptop (Windows 7) and back to the phone and then I get the error: SystemUI stopped (I use Lineage OS on motorola g4)
I did it as described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466183
(You put the file in /system/ so it IS there. Then you change the permissions. Now that the file has correct permissions, you put it in /system/app or /system/framework and let it overwrite the original, so the INSTANT it replaces the original one it already has the correct permissions. You HAVE to put it into /system/, otherwise you can't change to those permissions, but you need to do it before you overwrite the originals.)
BUT IT WILL NOT WORK I ALWAYS GET THE ERROR MESSAGE: APP STOPPED
Thank you for your help :crying:
I am trying to install a clean Android System WebView (packagename: com.android.webview) onto stock LG G5 RS988 RS98821d Android 7.0 that is rooted.
I downloaded an arm64 WebView APK from the Bromite Releases GitHub page:
https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases
I tried installing the Bromite WebView APK to "/system/app/webview/" (0644 permissions) and rebooted, but the WebView implementation could not be used.
There are instructions regarding installing Bromite System WebView available:
https://github.com/bromite/bromite/wiki/Installing-SystemWebView
From my reading of the installation instructions, "res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml" from "/system/framework/framework-res.apk" must contain the an entry for the package with the particular package name ("com.android.webview" in this case).
After examining the stock "config_webview_packages.xml" member file, it appears that a reference to "com.android.webview" is not present. The "config_webview_packages.xml" XML file also appears to not be easily readable in a text editor. My guess is that it has some kind of signing.
What must be done to get the system to allow the newly installed WebView? My impression is that the "config_webview_packages.xml" XML file must be edited, but it is not clear how to do so, given that it does not appear to be just plain text.
I have attached a copy of the "config_webview_packages.xml" XML member file and the original framework-res.apk file zipped into a ZIP 2.0 archive.
XML files inside apks are compressed, you should unpack the framework-res.apk using a tool for apk editing, not just a zip archiver program. On Android, you can use APK Editor Pro, for example.
By the way, have you already uninstalled Chrome? If Chrome is installed, it will be forced as the standard WebView provider.

It was my impression that the APK files were zip files with a particular signature block. I shall try a tool like APK Editor Pro and report back.

I have uninstalled/removed both Chrome and the Android System WebView (Google Apps version).

Now I'm on PC and I remember the name of the tool I use sometimes on PC: APKChanger. It's very complete, although very heavy (about 650MB with my current configuration);
If you have platform tools installed on your pc, or the whole Android Studio, you can also use
Code:
aapt d xmltree framework-res.apk res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml
to see the list of allowed webview packages.

So we can be sure the problem is not the system forcing Chrome as default WebView provider. So, as Bromite's wiki states, "Changing the package name does not make installation easier/possible;", so the only solution is to add com.android.webview to config_webview_packages.xml, or, if it is already there, remove the requirement for Google's signature on the webview package. EDIT: I checked, on your file com.android.webview is missing, you just need to add it:

On Android, I used APK Editor Pro 1.10.0 to modify res/xml/config_webview_packages.xml of /system/framework/framework-res.apk. A new APK with a generic signature was generated with the modification. I used the XML file editing option to select and modify the config_webview_packages.xml. The XML file editing functionality is given to be in beta and appears buggy.
I replaced the original /system/framework/framework-res.apk file with the patched one using the TWRP 3.2.3-0 file manager and attempted to boot to system. The system would start, but get stuck at the LG logo screen. I tried wiping data, and cache in recovery and booting again, but received the same result. I note that adb was available and usable after the boot process got stuck on the LG Logo screen.
My impression is that the patched framework-res.apk file is incompatible or defective. Perhaps APK Editor Pro 1.10.0 malformed the output APK (the XML editing feature appeared unfinished) or that the LG stock ROM expects framework-res.apk to have have a particular signature.
Perhaps a different APK editing tool should be tried. What could the problem be?
I have attached a ZIP archive containing the APK Editor Pro 1.10.0 modified framework-res.apk.
EDIT: Attachment has been removed; the file was defective and should not be used. Attachment is no longer necessary.
I have now patched framewor-res.apk successfully, and Bromite System WebView is working.
Did you use again APk Editor Pro or a PC tool?
The tools I used were Windows tools (and with a Java dependency in the case of Apktool) and were: Apktool 2.3.1 and WinRAR 5.6.1. I found that it is best to avoid newer versions of the tool unless trying to manipulate Android 9 Pie or newer resources.

From somewhere else it seems that you are now using Apktool 2.3.1.
After comparing my notes, my impression on what you are missing and some related notes:
The modified framework-res.apk should use the unmodified APK file's "AndroidManifest.xml" root file and META-INF directory contents. It is not sufficient for any of the content to be the same after decompiling.
Copy "AndroidManifest.xml" and META-INF directory from original framework-res.apk to modified framework-res.apk using zip program, if contents are different.
v2 APK signing scheme (which includes the APK file itself in validation), if present, would be broken, but the scheme's enforcement is not enforced on /system; v1 APK signing scheme (on APK contents ("AndroidManifest.xml" file and META-INF directory contents)) is still enforced.
I zipaligned output/modified framework-res.apk prior to transferring original "AndroidManifest.xml" file and META-INF directory contents, but I do not believe it matters for the purposes of getting a functional framework-res.apk.
EDIT: Some added things to keep in mind:
Sometimes clearing system cache and the runtimes cache is also necessary before system will boot after framework-res.apk replacement. Also make sure that the permissions of the replaced framework-res.apk file are at minimum whatever the original file permissions were. Depending on what software you use to replace the framework-res.apk file, the permissions set may be different.
I really appreciate the help, still does not work unfortunately.
Here is what I do:
adb pull framework-res.apk
apktool d framework-res.apk (tried most versions, mainly now 2.3.1)
Edit framework-res/res/xml/config-webview-packages.xml to:
Code:
<webviewproviders>
<webviewprovider description="Bromite WebView" packageName="com.android.webview" availableByDefault="true" isFallback="true" />
</webviewproviders>
Removing other dev versions with signatures etc
apktool b framework-res
zipalign -v 4 framework-res.apk framework-res-new.apk
Move META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the 1st original framework-res.apk > framework-res-new.apk (Have also tried moving res & resources from the new to the original...7Zip, WinRAR, CLI - Linux)
adb push framework-res-new.apk /system/framwork-res.apk
Modify permissions in TWRP > 0644
Move framework-res.apk from /system/ to /system/framework/framwork-res.apk (I read somewhere this is better than pushing directly. Neither worked)
Clear Davlik & Cache
Reboot
Hangs on boot screen
Any ideas if I am missing something important?
@burny02 - Please clarify whether the framework-res.apk you are trying to modify is for LG G5 stock ROM Android Nougat.
I note that you are using the "isFallback="true"" flag with the webviewprovider tag. The purpose of the isFallback attribute set to true (its default is false) is to specify that the WebView provider should be disabled by deault and should only become available when allow other WebView providers are disabled. Using the attribute with the true value with only a single WebView provider seems improper. I do not know if boot should fail if the attribute is present in the way that it is, but in both scenarios I would recommend its omission.
It has also been a while since I used Apktool versions and do not exactly remember the command lines. Do not take my not pointing to an issue with it as there necessarily not being an issue. One thing I would mention is that one typically first install a frameworks before decompiling and building. For the LG G5 RS988 Android Nougat, I believe installing the framework-res.apk as a framework was sufficient. You would specify on command line "apktool if framework-res.apk" and any tags you wish to explicitly specify, if any.
The moving of framework-res.apk to /system/ before /system/framework/ is oftentimes done by people to try to install a modified framework-res.apk with proper permissions and on a live system before the system crashes and reboots. Once framework-res.apk is copied to /system , but does not replace the framework-res.apk file, proper permissions can be set prior to using that file to replace the live framework-res.apk. It is still important to note that some software disregards permissions set when a file is relocated or copied, so this could be an issue if framework-res.apk is replaced with more restrictive permissions than the original framework-res.apk (less restrictive permissions should not usually be a problem for the app to be used). I particularity do not like the idea of the system crashing and prefer to make such changes offline (such as via the aid of a custom recovery).
Sorted. Got it working. Really appreciate the help, Ascii3
For anyone looking at this in the future, the isFallback back seems to stop booting, regardless of whether it is the only entry or not.
The procedure then works as above:
adb pull framework-res.apk
apktool d framework-res.apk (2.3.4 worked for me - SDK 24 Android 7.1 (LGG5))
Edit framework-res/res/xml/config-webview-packages.xml to:
Code:
<webviewproviders>
<webviewprovider description="Bromite WebView" packageName="com.android.webview" availableByDefault="true" />
</webviewproviders>
apktool b framework-res
Move META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the 1st original framework-res.apk > new framework-res-new.apk (Used 7Zip drag & drop)
adb push framework-res-new.apk /system/framework/framwork-res.apk
Modify permissions in TWRP > 0644
Clear Davlik & Cache
Reboot
I found the following unnecessary :
Installing framework (apktool if)
Zip-aligning
Moving to /system prior to /system/framework/ (Using TWRP, live system; it might be necessary)

The isFallback attribute is supposed to only be set to true for no more than one webviewprovider. Explicitly setting it to false (its default) should not be problematic (but does result in a larger config-webview-packages.xml file generated). Setting isFallback to true on the only webviewprovider item is not an intended use and apparently results in no boot.

I do not think zip-aligning apps is necessary generally . My understanding around the reason to do so is to try to optimize the packaged data to be more efficiently fetched in the manner which Android fetches the data.
@Ascii3 @burny02
Hello guys, sorry to exhume this post but I'm struggling and all other threads are maybe ten years old...
So I'm struggling to replicate what you did! I'm no expert but I can follow basic instructions.
So I do as you say, decompile framework-res.apk, modify the xml file (I just add the line). This step seems okay since I did some errors while editing the file and apktool would not recompile properly. Now this goes fine.
Then I got my freshly recompiled framework-res.apk, but 7zip on linux won't let me insert META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml. So I had to rename the extension .zip, do it, then rename in apk. Could this be an issue? It looks dirty.
Anyway, after this you didn't had to resign the apk? I read everywhere you had to, so I did. I did not zipaligned it since I used a resign tool I found on xda and I could not tell if I had to do it before or after resigning, but since you said you didn't zipalign it I thought whatever.
The problem is the following: after replacing framework-res.apk in /system/framework, the phone won't start, I get stuck on the starting screen and I could extract the following from logging:
01-24 04:15:17.470 +0000 4042 4042 I PackageManager: /system/framework/framework-res.apk changed; collecting certs
01-24 04:15:17.749 +0000 4042 4042 W PackageManager: Failed to scan /system/framework/framework-res.apk: Failed to collect certificates from /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Have you got any ideas of what I did wrong? It's my fourth soft-brick today, I'm getting a bit annoyed.
Thanks in advance
@LeSplendide did you ever get this working? Not sure if I'm having the same trouble, but I followed burny's instructions and my phone fails to boot. I checked logcat but I don't see anything relating to framework-res. I'm using magisk to overlay it because if I touch the /system partition for real, VoLTE stops working on my phone (known issue for this phone). I'm successfully overlaying stuff in /system/app and /system/priv-app so I do have overlaying generally working, though this is the first apk in the framework directory I've tried to overlay. Boy do I want to get this working. I've extensively degoogled and debloated this phone and the only glaring thing that remains is chrome handling webview.

I'm sorry I have no idea, rn Webview Implementation says I have Android System Webvew 102.0.5005 so I assume this is chrome webview? But I have no clue what I did or not but I know for sure I fixed my problem which was that Webview would crash when trying to sign in a google account on my MicroG'd LEAOS. Now this works so I guess I did make it work. All I found that could be a clue is a update.zip containing instructions and the webview in question. Iirc, the issue was that the zip needed to be signed so that twrp could flash it, so I think I just signed my zip and it worked but can"t tell for sure.
I want to install 2 different versions of an app. I researched a little and found that I need to change APK's package name with APK Editor. I decompiled the APK with APK Editor and changed everything related with package name. For example The app's package name was
Code:
com.oldapk.filee
, I changed to
Code:
com.newapk.file
. Then I compiled it again and installed new apk file. But I was unable to launch the new APK file, I enabled USB Debugging on my phone and started to looking crash logs. I saw that the package name was mentioned as
Code:
com.oldapk.filee
, I started thinking about what could It be wrong, I used
Code:
ack
on linux to check which files has
Code:
com.oldapk.filee
string and saw that 2 libraries (.so files) was including the old package name. I changed them in NotePad++ (Hex Editor Addon) to new package name but this time when the app launches, I was able to see starting screen but it was crashing in 0.5 seconds after I launched it. I checked the crash logs again and then I saw that the package name was still old. Maybe the changes that I made didn't effect. How can I edit these files?
