My iptv provider has bought Iptv smarters Pro 1.6.9 and had the Dns hardcoded into the apk by whmcs allowing users to login with there username and password. We have a bunch of resellers that would like the providers Name/Logos and in app images changed to there own. I have Used Apk icon editor pro to open the apk and get to the res folder to change the Images with the same format/sizes/names. I then rename the app under values/strings.xml. Pack the pack then everything works fine. A week or so passes and BAM they get blocked, the app no longer is working. Says The app you are using is not original, Your tv service provider has not provided your the original app Image shows what the message is. How can i make this stop? How is the app phoning home? https://i.ibb.co/qJkvJ0h/photo-2019-01-28-21-23-50.jpg
Rebrand, icon, logo, hardcode url?
Did anybody work out how to rebrand? Would like to try do it myself as a project as I currently provide iptv to customers but would love to make my own app just how I want it
Surely the rebranding part is easy enough, ive unpacked IPTVSmarters Pro apk and currently seeing many chances to edit the images, its the hardcoded url and home phoning i dont understand, so you said they blocked you... as in your iptv server IP/DNS blocked? Assuming the ip/dns you hardcoded into the app right? I am 100% noob at this apk editing stuff im just playing to see what can be done... Any help or basic instruction is grateful
it can be done with APK editor Pro version 1.10.0, simple edit then click images and have fun... anyone know how to hardcode that's willing to teach?

When you are in res/values/strings.xml do not change the name. I know this is part of what you want to do but for it to work just leave it be. Put you name on logo image or something. I know this works as i have done it myself and was told to do this by a dev that puts this in apps. I know its a late reply but better late than never

Hi.
I was wondering how hard it would be to create a simple application that would connect to a server or website checking for updates. I plan on loading font .apk's on the server or website, and would like a application to periodically check for updates or manually check for updates, be able to preview the font, and then download the .apk if wanted. How hard would it be to create such an application?
Thanks.

Well, this depends on how you approach it, but I think the easiest way to do this would be to create a feed using XML. So if you were doing your font updater, you would load a file like this:
<FontDetails>
<Font name = "Font1" example = "http://www.myfontsite.com/FontExamples/Font1.png" location = ""http://www.myfontsite.com/Fonts/Font1.apk"\>
<Font name = "Font2" example = "http://www.myfontsite.com/FontExamples/Font2.png" location = "http://www.myfontsite.com/Fonts/Font2.apk"\>
</FontDetails>​
The problem with this is that you will have to maintain this XML file, making sure its always up-to-date(Easily manageable with some simple scripts).
If you aren't willing to do this, you could go down the road that is wrongly mislabeled as "The Easy Way" and hard-code the locations of all your APK's and all of your example images, but I would only do this if you were planning on dumping all the APK's and images in the same place(For example, if all your APK's were here: http://www.myfontsite.com/Fonts/). You would request the directory information from the server and parse that into your list of font APK's and correspond them with their example images(probably by naming them the same; i.e. Font1.apk and Font1.png).
If you decide to use the first option, you could do a bunch of cool things with the organization, like break things into categories and apply taggings and it would only require one request to the server per update. If you go with the second method, organization is guaranteed to be a mess if you try anything large scale, and adds a layer of complexity if you try to break things into folders and categories. This would require a ping per folder you have to check, which can have a high complexity factor if you have a lot of folders.
I just want to point out that even though this is directly related to development, this is a type of question that belongs in the General section(Questions ALWAYS belong in General). I'm sure a Mod will come around, scold you, then move the thread.
Anyway, I do hope this helps,
Good luck,
Tyler
Edit: Having a bit of problems getting the XML looking correct. Sorry if it looks ugly :S
Even easier would be to manage the updater as an RSS feed. Then it becomes quite trivial, as there are several examples of RSS readers online already.
Great! Thanks for the reply!
Yeah, the XML approach I think would be the better option as well, just because we could use this thread to hold everything I currently do no have any hosting at this time. Would you be up to making such a application? It seems you have the know abouts to so.... I would be the one to maintain everything and update it. I would monitor this thread and when new ones pop up, I wouldn't mind adding it to in the XML.
Also, how would the RSS feed work?
Thanks

Wish I could...I've got about 50 projects already on the back-burner and no time to finish them Tell ya what though...I've finished a mini project a couple weeks ago with some buddies at school for my friends website. Its an Open-Source RSS reader that was made to read in the latest articles of his site. With some slight tweaking, I'm sure you(or some other dev) could mod it to work in your favor...Here's the github address:
http://github.com/pencilo/Absolute-Android-RSS.git
I don't think this is the latest code, but all the working elements you need are in here.
Hello All,
Can any one help me to download GlobalEnglish Lingo app. from android market and upload it or send to me, because I can't download any app from market google block me due to my location.
Thanks
Nothing.... Please help....
learn to proxy, and download apk's via your browser, and install manually on your phone.
Thanks, but can you tell me how to do this?
No obne Help.....
you could use other apps similar to this. im sure there are hundreds of them. even you've installed this, still, your country will be recognized.
how to proxy.
open browser.
go to google
type in 'socks 5 proxy <country here>'
assuming you're using windows, go to the options/settings bit for your browser, find the bit that references proxy, or 'internet settings/properties'
click on 'lan settings'
where it says 'proxy server'
check the box 'use a proxy server for your LAN'
ip goes in the first box, port goes in the second.
most sites will seperate the two when displaying proxies as you hunt for them
if they don't, it'll bein the format iport, eg 173.24.57.158:3450
sorry it took a while to reply, had forgotten about the thread.
but as long as the proxy you're using is located in a country that isn't blocked on the market, you should then be able to download apks via your browser to install manually, without having to resort to filehosting downloads.
make google as your friend; and google will do the rest for you....
Hello,
I wanted to warn you of this website: coolapk.com. Certain apk files contain "additional" parts. In this case it was a part of VLC (Video Lan Client). After downloading an apk file and installing, all seems to be normal and the desired software is running. Under applications there are only the programs you know about. But after close look, you will find a hidden additional application under Settings/Apps/Show All at the bottom behind letter Z if showing within alphabetical order containing only chinese signs. It is already running, you can not deinstall it only force stop and deactivate is possible. The file size is shown as 4KB. After uninstalling the original app this still is keeped in your system. During the installation there was absolutely no sign of additional software attached. This device is not rooted and has OEM ROM. The machine I was using is Motorola (Enterprise Solutions) TC55 PN TC55BH-JC11ES, Android 4.1.2 Build 131013-SI-1800EN-01.45-15443J-4.1.2-user. I downloaded the apk files 24.02.2014 and the chinese software contains a following timestamp in the properties: 20131013.224458. This app has following rights granted: personal information (read all words attached to the dictionary, read contacts) and network communication (full network access). Attached is the screenshot of above mentioned hidden software (only app-info), perhaps a friendly user can help translate and tell what is it, because it's behaviour as far is not really trustworthy for me.
Contact me for additional questions (enterprise class units only).
regards + stay clean

thanks for the advice :good:
I have that software on my TC55 as well. Oandbackup identifies it as com.android.inputmethod.pinyin, in other words the Chinese input from the AOSP, and the Chinese symbols in its name match the ones of the selectable alternative Chinese input under the "Language & input" settings. I have not installed anything from coolapk.com, only from F-Droid and Amazon. Are you sure this software came with VLC and was not there before? It might just be standard with the TC55.

I have that app installed on a Cisco Cius (Froyo!) as well, and am unable to uninstall it. I'd be surprised if this was malware.
Seriously??

The app name in chinese means "Google's method to input chinese character by spelling". It is bad for sure to install an additional app in secret. But this input method app sounds innocent. In addition, how can you be so sure that the app sneaked in with VLC from coolapk?
On my TF101, I have a number of apks from coolapk. As far as I am concerted, It is good so far with coolapk, I have not found anything wrong yet.
Looks promising, but Live Channels sees it as not set up after is parses the channels. Wondering if anyone has this app working?
Its exactly what i have been seeking the past few days, but its unfortunately too buggy for me right now
it keeps popping up with JSON errors, cant sync properly or parse the JSON with google drive and when i try import the channels into the live chanels app, it shows them being added but then still says cumulus TV is not set up.
After leaving a review on the play store i got this response promptly after
Hi, I am aware that there are occasionally stability issues. I do read crash reports and fix the ones I can. Additionally, I'm in the midst of a massive overhaul. If you have any specific issues you'd like me to fix, feel free to send me an email. ([email protected])

Sounds exactly like what I"m getting. I was able to copy a JSON file I found online and can get the streams to play in the cumulus TV app, but live channels is doing what yours is...showing not set up. I emailed him from his Github page and he responded almost instantly and said he was pushing an update to see if he could fix it and to try in the morning. Tried again this morning after it received an update and still doing the same thing. Haven't heard back yet from him.
I havent had any more json errors and the app feels more stable since that update, however it still wont integrate into the live channel app
EDIT: its been said that integration to live channels will be fixed in the next update, until then the last working version was v1.4.6, i sideloaded that and it worked fine
grab the 1.4.6 apk HERE
Also didnt know that you can set websites as channels from 1.4.7 onwards, really cool!
Where can I find some us json files?

serpent, are you using this to watch the free to air channels via IP? could you share your config, please?
The thing looks really good, however where can I find such channels to add? I mean, m3u8. Is there a directory around? (And please don't tell me to google it...)
I'm watching a few local stations (Australia) that offer a live stream from their website, no station will offer a direct link to their stream so you need to do a bit of digging in the websites source code or just grab a program such as a m3u8 or rtmp sniffer to get the link
Cant say at all if its legal or not, but the channels im using are free to air in my country, so unless im taking advertising revenue away from them by not viewing it in their website, i dont see a problem.
long story short, this program gives you the ability but you need to put in the legwork to find the streams

I second that post. Without some "sources" listed somewhere, the app isn't pretty much useful (for us lazy people - or, inept people) lol
Well I've just searched Google for the past few days looking for some US json files, to no avail. No one wants to lend a hand?
There is a good chance that you will not find any JSON files for cumulusTV on the internet.
The JSON is generated from CumulusTV and most likely has its own formatting.
Your best bet is to add a 2 or 3 of the supplied sources (nasaTV etc) to generate your initial JSON file, then open it from google drive to see just how its formatted.
In general though you need to go on the hunt for your stream url's to add
A great website to find streams is www.squidtv.net
Generally you wont find many entertaining streams, most are news based like bloombergTV,Al Jazeera, ArirangTV etc
but some can have some good documentaries like NHK World
Countries that offer their main channels online like UK's BBC/ITV are usually geoblocked and require a VPN to view.
To add them to CumulusTV is an entirely seperate matter, you need dig through the source code to find the stream link (typically a .m3u8 file) or use a stream url sniffer which are freely available on the internet.

Thank you for the "head start". That seems like an awful lot of digging and work for not much return. In my head, I was thinking that I'd be able to get all the regular USA channels the "foreign" ones aren't really of use or, interest.
hello. i thought to be smart and download the APK through a downloader in browser on PC, but is still not able to install. it just says "App not installed".
ANYHOW... i feel this app should work just fine on the phone. problem is is that the company don't want it on other phones. so, there are some HTC and Sony apps from my past that won't install to a Coolpad phone i have.
is there any way to modify the APK so it will properly install? i don't believe the app to actually be incompatible, it is just proprietary to a different brand of phone.
the app i most want right now is > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.xperiaweather
i used this to download it > https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
thanks for reading! i await any responses

If your phone's Android is rooted, you can try to edit Android's build.prop file housed in /system, will say change there brand / model settings according to your needs. Use a "BuildProp Editor" app to manage this,

shoot. i have yet to figure out how to root this phone. it doesn't seem like there is any public root method for this phone yet. drat.
but if i could do that on the phone... shouldn't it also be possible to do this in the APK? i also don't know exactly what info that would be put there even if the phone was rooted. meh.
i figured worst case, i could use the regular Android software on PC to make changes to the APK. other then that, i think it could be possible to make changes to the APK with luckypatcher, but am not certain about that.
@sk74261700027
I never made use of LP.
You of course can try to decomplie an APK, rewrite app's source code and afterwards recompile it and then correctly sign the APK. Personally never have done so.

oof. that sounds complicated. lol :/
i know there is Android Studio and SDK tools, but there is a lot there and i don't know exactly what is needed. i was just hoping that changing an APK for proprietary apps to install on non-proprietary devices was a normal thing, and that there would be a straight forward way to do this. sadly, i don't see any guides on this.
might just have to look around for something more generalized, like what you were talking about. i am surprised that there isn't a normal process for this type of thing. meh
well, thanks anyhow. thank you for replying here. at least that might give me an idea on where to go from here. in the meantime, imma just give this thread some more time. see if anyone knows anything more specific about this.
P.S. oh yeah! i do recall some kind of google market app that would allow you to change, or emulate, a device to download apps from the Play Store that are stated as not being compatible. will have to look for that and see if it still works. if someone knows where to find this, that would be really great.
