Title says most of it, but has anyone considered making a plugin for either IDE to make it easier to work with smali (tracing through methods so you can ctrl+click on them to find where they area located, intellisense, syntax highlighting, dependency checking, etc?
I don't have any experience building FOR IDEs, but that's certainly something I'd be willing to test. It could probably be another command line tool, but it has to start somewhere; I run apktool in VMware Xubuntu and my IDEs in Windows (or OSX)...
android-studio
Now that android-studio, which is IntelliJ IDEA with android plug-ins, becomes Google's new standard IDE, the idea gets more interesting again. I just started exploring the Xposed framework, and a plug-in for android-studio offering even code completion to Xposed helpers and functions based on smali code would be awesome and something I'd be willing to help developing
For pure reverse-engineering I know that many like Virtuous Ten Studio. But I see the future in App modding using the Xposed framework. Just much more transparent and portable! As an example, I use Whatsapp+ - but I only get updates when the Whatsapp+ dev has time to decompile an upstream Whatsapp update, applies his mods again, compiles it, and releases it. Now if he rewrote Whatsapp+ as a Xposed mod that would mod the original Whatsapp app, that would be different, as the mod would probably immediately work for an update, too.
Oh and also, Virtuous Ten Studio is Windows software. I am a pure Linux user, and IntelliJ works on all major platforms, so this is another advantage

There is another runtime modification framework called cydia substrate by Jay Freeman aka Saurik. Before anyone cries foul and claims all that Jay did was copy Xposed please have a read of Jay Freeman's well written description of cydia substrate.
Since I cannot post links because of some anti-spam policy, please find the link by searching for 'cydia substrate vs xposed' in google. One of the first hits you will find is on the cydiasubstrate domain.
I agree with you; runtime modification is definitely where the future is for modifications.

Being an "open source Home Replacement app", I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to find a public repository where I could get ADWLauncher's code.
Looking at its google projects page, it seems that the project is quite active, yet the latest source I could find is under the CyanogenMod github, with ongoing translations but with sources last updated 3 months ago... In AnderWeb's github things are even worse with last commit over a year ago...
Does anyone know of a public repository where i could get the project's latest source code?
Thanks!
Found it !
Hi florpor,
you can find ADW Launcher repository on GitHub.
As I'm a new user, I cannot post you the URL, so here is the info to find it :
on github, look at the "AnderWeb" user projects. It is the one named "android_packages_apps_Launcher".
However, the project seems to be stalled.
Have a nice chekout
I don't think there is any source for the new version. There were many contributors on that project, but it looks like they have all agreed to go proprietary all of a sudden. They haven't announced anything on their project page, so who knows what's going on.
Making "Stock" Custom ROMs Defunct (XposedFramework) - Tweaks for any ROM Version
Introduction
Recently it has dismayed me how, across the Android Community, people seem to feel that it's necessary to run a "Custom ROM" in order to get improvements and changes to your ROM. Of course, some of you know it's possible to modify the APK files directly to change things, but these changes need to be done every time your base ROM is updated. Once Samsung starts leaking out updates to 4.2 like a sieve, you guys will be all over them, needing to update your patches and tweaks every time.
Anyway, seeing this displeases me, as it encourages people to see "Custom ROMs" as a commodity, and something you consume. In essence, users were getting their "fix" of tweaks from their "chef", but not learning how to do it themselves, nor realising their beloved chef isn't doing anything magical. In fact, their chef is likely decompiling the applications, and using baksmali/apktool to take apart the app, hard-code in their changes, then rebuild it. This method has worked well for 3 years, but it's been in need of an update for some time.
The Enlightenment
Then I saw this thread by rovo89. That man deserves a beer for every Android user there is, for his work on the Xposed Framework! His and Tungstwenty's work on this has made it possible to modify the core Android system, without doing any actual modifying of applications.
OK... Why are you telling me this?
This invention seems to have pretty much gone unnoticed by the world. The reasons this is vastly superior to any other way of making modifications to apps and the system are:
Your modifications are not tied into a single version of the APK or app or framework. If the ROM is updated, the patch should still work perfectly on the new version of the app (this doesn't necessarily apply across major updates like 4.1 to 4.2, but should be fine across 4.1.0 to 4.1.2 style changes).
You are not actually modifying any files on the phone! If something goes wrong, you can just disable the support for the framework, and the tweaks will do nothing. As such, it's easier to get a working phone if something dies - in fact there is a ZIP placed on your SD for this very purpose. Just flash it in CWM and it will disable the framework.
As no actual files are being modified, it doesn't matter if your ROM is odexed, deodexed, or a bit of both (ie. certain apps deodexed, but frameworks odexed). With this, there is no reason to run a deodexed ROM, since you can change pretty much everything you want to without touching the raw files. So leave them as odex files and you'll not have any problems. Bear in mind we deodex to allow easier customisation, odexed is actually slightly faster, and removes the majority of the dexopt process on first boot.
No application signatures are modified, as the apps are not touched, so if you were to use this to modify an app like Maps or Gmail, you won't get issues when trying to update to a new version of the app via the market.
The only way this can succeed is for you to try it. I usually run a "custom ROM" on my phone. For the first time ever, I've been using a stock ROM for a significant period of time. On the Note2 in particular, Samsung is really getting good at this. But they're not perfect. And as such, I started to look at using this to perfect their work.
When you run a custom ROM, look at what you're getting, and ask yourself why it doesn't use this method. I've only made one little modification so far, but it's one that annoys me hugely! The blooming SMS -> MMS conversion when you try to write any form of prose in a text message. I cannot stand the limitation of SMS to 160 characters, so the ability to chain together messages is a godsend to me. Unfortunately though, Google and Samsung seem to like to restrict you to 3 SMS messages worth of text before converting to an MMS message. Which is wonderful, except when you have totally unlimited SMS, but pay for MMS. As such, I was finding my ability to communicate in my usual verbose way somewhat hindered by the messaging app.
Alas that is no longer an issue. If you want to get started, here's how.
OK... How do I use this?
Download and install the APK file from this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401. I have tested it on the N7100, it works fine. Run it, install the framework, grant it root (yes, this requires root!), and reboot. I have mirrored the APK below just in case of issues.
Download and install the APK modification you want from http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/
When you get a notification about enabling the modification (after the APK is installed), tap that notification, and enable the plugin by ticking the box.
Reboot your phone
Go test your modification

Head back to http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/ and click the Upload button at the top right.
Use a general title that describes what your modification does. Put in a version string too. I tend to use the format 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 etc, but this is up to you. You can add Alpha or Beta or other designations if you wish.
For author, pop in your name or username. And enter a brief description of what the modification does (which will appear in the index)
Click Categories/Agreements, and select which category the modification falls under. If you think there's a category which should be added, let me know.
Under Full Description, you can enter a detailed description of your modification. Finally, under File Options, use File to Upload to select your APK file. You can optionally add an Image to Upload. The Use File URL should be set to no, and the File URL box left blank.

How to make your own such modification
This information is NOT complete. This example only uses 1 of about 10 different types of modification. I have spoken to rovo89 and he has said it would probably be possible to document this further. This example covers ONE usage case - I am going to override an entire method.
1. Create a new empty Android project in Eclipse.
2. Within the "application" section of your AndroidManifest.xml, add the following metadata:
Code:
<meta-data android:name="xposedmodule" android:value="true"/>
<meta-data android:name="xposedminversion" android:value="2.0rc1.*" />
3. Within the assets folder of the project, add a plain text file, "xposed_init". Within this, I have put
Code:
uk.co.villainrom.pulser.allowlongsms.AllowLongSMS
uk.co.villainrom.pulser.allowlongsms is the PACKAGE name of my Java package. AllowLongSMS is my class name. The purpose of this is to tell the Xposed Framework what to run.
4. Within AllowLongSMS.java (ie. the class name, with .java on the end), I put the following code:
PHP:
package uk.co.villainrom.pulser.allowlongsms; //this sets the package for our project, this is the first part of the value in xposed_init file in assets.
import de.robv.android.xposed.IXposedHookLoadPackage;
import de.robv.android.xposed.XC_MethodHook;
import de.robv.android.xposed.XC_MethodReplacement;
import de.robv.android.xposed.XposedBridge;
import de.robv.android.xposed.XposedHelpers;
import de.robv.android.xposed.callbacks.XC_LoadPackage.LoadPackageParam;
//above includes all the required parts of the xposed framework that we need here
public class AllowLongSMS implements IXposedHookLoadPackage { //here we declare the class AllowLongSMS. We say it implements IXposedHookLoadPackage, as we want to make use of the hook-in on package load. Other options are available here for working with native libs etc, and resources, but I'm not using these right now.
public static final String MY_PACKAGE_NAME = AllowLongSMS.class.getPackage()
.getName(); //this doesn't do anything, I just left it here for if I needed to write logs and wanted to have the package name easily accessible.
public static final String TAG = "PulserMmsTweak"; //same here, this doesn't do anything.
@Override //we are going to override the method handleLoadPackage, if it exists further up the hierarchy
public void handleLoadPackage(LoadPackageParam lpparam) throws Throwable {
//this method is called every time a package is loaded. We have a parameter that we're going to call lpparam, that is passed in, that relates to what package was loaded
if (lpparam.packageName.equals("com.android.mms")) { //if the package that has just been loaded is called "com.android.mms" then
ClassLoader classLoader = lpparam.classLoader; //create a classloader object that we can now use
XC_MethodReplacement methodreplacer = new XC_MethodReplacement() { //create a method replacer object, as we are going to REPLACE an entire method within the mms app.
protected Object replaceHookedMethod( //we make an object here, that passes in the parameters of what to actually change
XC_MethodHook.MethodHookParam paramAnonymousMethodHookParam)
throws Throwable {
return Integer.valueOf(255);
/* THIS IS THE IMPORTANT LINE
* This line returns the value 255. Why this happens won't make sense yet, but THIS is where you put your "new method" code.
*
*/
}
};
XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod("com.android.mms.MmsConfig", //here we say that we want to find and hook into the method "getSMSToMmsTextThreshold" which is part of the class com.android.mms.MmsConfig. We then say that we're passing this to methodreplacer, which we defined earlier
classLoader, "getSmsToMmsTextThreshold", methodreplacer);
}
//if the package wasn't com.android.mms, do nothing.
}
}
Awesome work mate. Wish I had a Note 2 to check this on.

That's the intention Glad it worked! This is about learning, and not just "using".
Sure, you can download the APK and use it, but that's no better than just downloading some zipkang ROM that claims it does everything including making your morning coffee... This is about taking a look at HOW it works too That way people can make their own tweaks and share them!

I will work something out (I can easily make a repository if this kicks off, so people can upload them and they appear).
TBH right now it's more a case of thinking up some ideas. For now, I can add anything people send into the second post (though I think it would be reasonable that we request source for all such modifications, just given the sheer ability to modify anything that this has...)
I can't think of enough things to tweak, we just need to work out WHAT people will like to modify, and implement it
I'll be a good example and put mine onto git shortly

Hey folks,
I'm happy to see some new interest on Xposed.
I've been using it since rovo89 came up with this brilliant idea, and have to admit I was kind of sad to see not many saw its great potential.
Personally, I'm using a couple of hacks for my individual use, but if the community starts to be interested in the HOWs rather than merely nagging about the apks I guess I can try to make an effort to clean and share the code.
Please do ask away stuff, I'm eager to seeing this being used to its full potential
For now, please check the Tweakbox sources. While the code itself might no longer 100% apply to the most recent S2 stock roms, it's still a nice example of how the hacks can be done.
this sounds great! like an universal (almost!) patching system. I hope more chef will write mods for this. man...wish i had taken some lessons in coding.
for a start, how about some of the often repeated annoyance in stock samsung that drives many to use custom roms just to get these functions:-
1) disable the scrolling quick setting panel when you open notification
2) 15 toggles as implement by guys like Wanam.
3) call recording (ok we got this already)
4) 4 way reboot menu
5) some kind of user definable custom battery graphics.

Yeah this is pretty universal. I'd even remove the word "almost" tbh...
For 1, do you mean to disable the scroll animation so that it shows the leftmost icon (wifi) first?
2 is possible, I know samsung has done it on 4.2, is the custom implementation better?
3 is done like you said.
4 should be more than possible.
5 is definitely possible, at least via flashing the modification for the battery style you want...
Thank for the ideas
i flash custom rom just because i need below few things
1.Call-Record. (done)
2.15 toggle, or maybe add NFC, S Beam, Multiwindow, Smart Stay as well
3.Louder Volume Speaker.
4.CRT Lock and Unlock Screen.
5.4 Way Reboot.
6.Unlimited Multi-Window
thanks for the good work and sharing.
Hi. So glad to see that this amazing framework didn't "die"
I would have one question about the mods...
Ok its likely that for the same device they work on different bases of the rom like DLJ5, ELK4 am I right?
But does a mod that was made for lets say the Note 2 work on a SGS3 or must it be adapted?
Thanks !

If it's touchwiz then it should work - samsung seems to have unified a lot of it.
Jerdog used the SMS to mms patch fine on his s3.
It really just depends on the modification itself tbh...
If I would like to start writing my own mods is there somewhere a guide how to debugg the mod I write?
Thanks!

Twitter Ad Eater is a module for the Xposed/LSPosed framework that attempts to remove ads from the Twitter Android application.
Currently tested on Android 11 / latest LSPosed but should work on other versions as well.
Downloads: https://github.com/ppawel/twitter-ad-eater/releases
Source code: https://github.com/ppawel/twitter-ad-eater
Report issue: https://github.com/ppawel/twitter-ad-eater/issues
Thank you! Can confirm this works with the latest EdXposed 0.5.2.2_4683.
Working with Android 11 / EdXposed 0.5.2.2_4683 / OP5T
May I post a feature request?!
It seems you are filtering out all the views containing the string "promoted". Could you like add an option for custom strings?!
For example, I really don't wish to see k-pop news popping up on my trending page! So I could add the string "K-Pop" (is it case sensitive?)
Cheers!

The code searches for the "promoted" string in the view id, not in the content of the tweets. It is really hard to find out exactly the content of the tweets because the structure of the Twitter app UI is very complex and also the whole app is scrambled with ProGuard, so it's not easy to reverse-engineer anything.
I will add your request to the TODO list and keep it in mind in case I will find a way to get tweet content.

Yeah, looking forward to the potential new features. Any updates coming soon, @ppawelppawel? I'm pretty much glued to your Github looking for changes.
Sorry, been busy with work in the last few weeks, but will try to add some more filtering features soon.
just want to throw out there that I love this module, it's so simple yet so effective because nothing else removes the ridiculous promoted ads (tried dns level blocking & minminguard). on a side note, I wish we had a module to remove the same type of ads in the official reddit app, but that's wishful thinking.
Does the app work on Android 8? I can't install in on my phone running Oreo now.
Not sure if it will work but LSPosed at least supports Android 8.1 so I will try to release a version with proper SDK requirements so you can try it out - right now at least Android 10 is required by the apk I think.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the module is quite simple but there is one flaw - if you scroll up and down your timeline, you will notice that the whole view is jumping around, like it skips one or two posts sometimes. This is because the way the module works - it hides the posts that are ads and it is visible when you scroll.
It would be much better to take out the ads before they get added to the timeline view but it's very complicated to figure out how the Twitter app works as everything is obfuscated and it's a huge code base to analyze.
Anyway, thanks again, glad you enjoy it.

Thanks for your work. Works on Oreo with LSPosed without problem!
Any updates planned? Hoping this isn't abandoned again like the old Twitter ad killer.
I hope updates will come when necessary, but for now it works fine!
Is it not possible to do this using something like adaway?
Thanks. It works fine on android 11 .
It works fine if you're scrolling down, but try to scroll up on the feed and Twitter will jump all over the place. It gets the job done, but could use some improvement.
Works perfectly on Android 11, thanks

I'm also implementing some features requested by users in official Grindr feedback (https://grindr.uservoice.com/forums/912631-grindr-feedback). Some requests are very simple to implement and today I do not understand why the official Grindr team has not been in charge of carrying them out, something that makes lots of people very angry. It is time for users to be heard once and for all.!
Little by little we will add more features. You can collaborate on the project and contribute your own ideas through my GitHub repository! https://github.com/ElJaviLuki/GrindrPlus
Mod Features(Depending on the version of the client and module you're using, some features may not be available or may work buggy.)
Allow mocking locations (WARNING: Abusing this feature may result in a permanent ban)
Advanced features:
Unlimited cascade view.
Unlocked 'Explore mode'.
Advanced search filters.
See 'Read' and 'Typing...' message states.
Allow taking screenshots in any part of the app (including albums and expiring photos).
Unlimited expiring photos.
Remove expiration on incoming expiring photos, allowing to see them any number of times you want.
Extra profile fields in the so-called CruiseViewHolder ('Profile ID', and exact time of 'Last seen')
Make videocalls even if you didn't start a chat with the recipient.
Access to some user-hidden features (developer features)
More accurate online status from other users. (Now, the green dot from other profiles goes off after 3 minutes of inactivity.) Inspired in the feedback made at: https://grindr.uservoice.com/forums/912631-grindr-feedback/suggestions/34555780-more-accurate-online-status-go-offline-when-clos
Allow unlimited taps (no 24h restriction)
"N/A" when Last Seen profile field is not available (= 0)
New profile field: Body Mass Index (BMI)

Bugs
Incognito mode is kinda buggy (it turns off after a little while)
How to install
Install the Xposed Framework and its app (Xposed, EDXposed, etc.)
Download the Grindr Plus module.
Activate the module in the Xposed Installer.

New release - v1.1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks to your great work I now can enjoy (again) some extra features!
I installed version 1.0 without any problem. Today I tried to install new version 1.1 but to no avail. I'm using EdXposed 4.6.2 under Android 11/ Magisk 23.0. When I open your apk with the system app installer, Play Protect complains but it is possible to continue with the installation. However, a pop-up error message says that Grindr Plus was not installed. After de-activating Play Protect and trying again, the same pop-up error message appears again.
Should I de-activate and uninstall version 1.0 from EdXposed before installing v1.1?
Hi there! @Jvlc
Yeah, there was a problem when building the app, especifically the signature.
From now you should be able to update the hook without uninstalling the old version and then installing the new one manually. I replaced the releases. I recommend you to uninstall your current version and reinstall the new one manually this time (since I replaced the signature). Hope this won't be an issue!
Thanks!
Btw: This app is not in the Play Store (and obviously won't) so that is what might be triggering the Play Protect alert... Just speculating though. do you guys know how to fix this?
Thanks for the mod, hopeful I get the chance to use it.
Currently am device banned on my main device due to gps changing, do you have any suggested tweaks that can be used with your mod to circumvent that device ban? Thanks.

Hi there, @Laser422 !!
From my experience, what I can tell you is not to abuse this feature. Do credible movements and do NOT change the GPS location crazily: that is, you cannot be in France, Japan, Australia, Brazil and USA in less than 30 minutes (this will be a 90-95% probability of ban).
So far, I haven't had problems moving my GPS to nearby locations (around from 0 to 100 km around me). But again, don't teleport: that's not credible. Fake GPS must be used very punctually. Using it continuously even for short distances can also raise suspicions.
In any case, with Grindr Plus you have the 'Explore' mode enabled, with which you can move to any point on the planet without using Fake GPS and therefore not exposing yourself to the risks that its use implies for your Grindr account.
Hope this helps!

This may be seem random, but are you using XPrivacyLua at all and do you have it activated for Grindr? It works great for privacy, but it doesn't play well with Grindr. I tested it out and when activated for Grindr it instantly threw up the banned screen on Grindr even though I was not actually banned.
Perhaps if that is your case, try disabling it (XPrivacyLua) temporarily and see what happens after that. Grindr does collect quite a large amount of data about it's users but I'm not sure XPrivacyLua prevents that as I didn't test it out for long but I know they track who you view and where from among other things, this is besides the who viewed you part of the app. They post the logs to 'https : //grindr . mobi/v3/logging/mobile/logs' with things such as this (only a small sample)

"name": "favorites_screen_viewed",

Thanks for the response
I don’t have xprivacylua activated. Once dealing with a device ban, for whatever reason, I can’t figure out how to get around it. This mod doesn’t (and wasn’t intended to) aid in that.
Thanks a lot! I don't know if that's what your module is doing or is it just the older app version ( I used 8.6 till it forced me to update) but the incredibly annoying auto opening of keyboard when opening a profile does not happen.
EDIT Auto keyboard happens again for some reason. If it's possible, please make it go away
Also I would like to ask if you could make the dumb ads on top of message list dissapear
