Where do I add an app to startup?
I searched on /etc/init.d but didn't found any section on the file for that
you need this App
Startup Manager
Apk: http://www.appbrain.com/app/imoblife.startupmanager
Great app to speed up your phone specially used to stop the Media Scan from running at start up
more cool apps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
Thanks for your answer but I forgot to say that I've already tried Startup Manager, it won't work. Supposedly it can add an app to the boot, I go to that section, it asks me if I want to add an user app or a system app and then nothing, doesn't appear any list with the apps.
That's why I want to now which file I have to configure to add an program to the startup.

I am trying to change the Icon using Ninja Morph. I did exactly what the tread on "how to NinjaMorph" but it does not work.
It seems like I can change the color on the Icon's but it will not let me change out the Icon.
Here is what I did.
I start with New Project
go System than App
than I go the the app that I want to change the Icon
open Res, than Drawable-hdpi, tap the icon I want to change.
Than it opens a folders
I go to the folder with the Icon that I want to replace it with
I click on the Icon that I want use.
After that I exit
than I go to Finish Project,
It as me to confirm Action and couple of other question after.
I reboot the phone and the icon is not change.
What am I missing?
Note: I already did review the tread "how to ninjamorph" and it seem like I am doing everything correctly. The only thing is that the tread says that phone should reboot automatically and mine doesn't. I reboot manually.
When I change the icon color on "edit icon", it works fine.
By the way, I already have busybox installed.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
What's the app?

There are some system apps that just wont take. Does the app disappear from the drawer after you edit it? If not then its not taking the change. Be wsue youre changing the png as they normally have a couple pngs that look the same but only one is the icon.
Have you tried manually replacing them?

When I edit the icon, it would disappear but when I reboot the phone, app will reappear. The only thing is that I have to mount the app in the system. Once I edit the app it was not reinstall with app manager. In other words I have to mount the application directly into the zip folder for the system then reinstall the theme or the rom.

I've had some experience with ninja morph not always accepting my changes. After you open your project, use astro to go to sd/androidthemes/workspace. Copy paste the files using astro and then go to ninjamorph and finish the project. Then I use root explorer to paste the app in system/app. Install it (sometimes says fail but it works) then change the permissions and reboot. Just match the permissions list with any other app in system/app as they're all the same. Then reboot. Hope this helps.

What do you mean by changing the permission? Also, can you be little bit more specific with instructions? I am fairly new to all this.
Also, is there a way I can try to change the icons with my computer? Is there a program or an app out there that works like a Ninja Morph for the desktop?

I actually use picsay on the phone to make small edits to the icons. I then pull them from my sd to my pc to convert the jpeg back to png and insert them. But you can also use photoshop to edit images/create your own. Theg have to be the correct size.
I gave up. I just decided to use Better Cut. I never knew/realized you can customize icons on your phone with icon.
moving app from data/app to system/app free app space but some app after move don't work (google goggles, setcpu, gosms, an more), so i take the apk and put into rom (oxygen 2.1.3) inside system/app folder, flashed and restarted, but they still not work
what i'm doing wrong?
sorry for bad english
I'm not an expert but I believe they also have to have the right permissions. Check what permissions the other apps in the system partition have and change the permissions on the apps you're trying to move accordingly.
Sent from my VM670 using XDA App
permissions are the same rw-r--r-- in data/app and remain rw-r--r-- in system/app
but for example when i move with rootexplorer "setcpu" at restart i have a force close and i can't use it
with "go sms" no force closes i can read messages but when i write a new one tapping on "+" to show phone book to select peope the app go in loop searching for contacts
with a widget for check credit on my phone i can't add widget if moved to system/app
i tryed other app like google goggles, google earth all give a force close at startup and not work until remove to data/app
moving ephinefrine, flash 10.3 , adobe reader, winamp and many other give no error and app still work correctly
Try extracting the apk and putting the lib.(whatever it says).so file into system / lib folder . Then put the original apk in the system / apps folder. And that should do it!

It says "The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions, then it goes on telling me to reboot only for it to show up again..
Now I unchecked the verify apps via USB but it still happens.. now from what I hear it's some kind of thing that needs to be deleted (apk) but I can't remember.. the name.. but when I tried deleting it in a program called file manger I was unable to delete the apk.

Get root explorer from the appstore. Its called KNOXagent.apk - supposedly a security feature that just messes with you when you flash custom ROMs. Delete it from the system apps folder.
I have had the same issue with EXfile explorer, but just switching to RootExplorer fixed the delete issue.

Q: I'm getting ACCESS DENIED error
A: When you get this error, an error message will appear, make sure that "SD Card permissions" is GREEN and not RED

A: Use Storage Sense to unistall the app
Q: Can I restore original apps?
A: Sure! Unistall and reinstall the target app
OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING
> Remove/unistall the app from the app list within your phone
> Be sure that in Storage Sense default location for app storage is INTERNAL MEMORY
> Deploy the app with "Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1" (the 8.1 is relly important, the name may change, don't use 8.2, 8.0 or without numbers). Some Visual Studio versions have multiple deployers included, use the 8.1 version.

i am having problems too. i am on build 8.10.14203. when i launch the patched app, it's stuck on "...loading..".
can people that have it working please post their wp81 build numbers and firmware revision number?
Mhm... which apps are you trying to patch?
I've added a lot of try-catch during patching with detailed message error and the app stay opened after patching (it will show up a message too)
Check the SD card root for wpsystem folder, there is apps or asspx folder?
Maybe the app that are you trying to apply doesn't have a compatible manifest...
Try to apply them manually and check if that works...
please let me know your wp8 build number.
i would appreciate a regeditor that is already adjusted to be compatible with preview for developers hijacking.
i tried the regeditor from djamol posted above with PFD.
but no luck. stuck on ..loading... when i try to launch it.
i don't know what else to try. can anyone with build 14203 or above confirm that the regeditor above is working with PFD?
That XAP isn't working for me too. I've Tried manually but the app still stuck to loading screen.
However I'm on Build 14219.
I will try to make my own regeditor based on that XAP
Hi all,
Did some cleaning of OT posts. Please keep this thread on topic

Ok, I've tried to make my own registry edititor based on DevProgramUI, but I can't patch it to Preview For Developers, the app crashes on startup (as DevProgramUI...). I've tried with my program and manually with a file Explorer...
I Will post soon the registry editor to a new topic, bug I don't know if it writes correctly registry Keys after patching the app :/
UPDATE: I have tried Glance Background Registry editor (the djamol one) and it works without problems with my tool
UPDATE 2: I'm writing here for the preview for developers crash problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-capabilitiy-hack-t2937089/page2#post57606692
UPDATE 3: I maybe found the solution! I will publish as sson as possible the new XAP
Hi, I understand why that doesn't function and I will send soon an update.
Try to soft-reset your phone, sometimes are the wpsystem folder permissions that cannot be unlocked
Yes, with this first version, only patching Live Lockscreen works because that app didn't remove every file/folder under guid folder for wp8 apps (preview for developers and glance background)
For wp8.1 apps it isn't necessary to delete every file/folder
I've fixed that with the next release that is coming soon
Version 0.2 available now!
Now it's possible to patch correctly apps for Preview For Developers and Glance Background
0.3 version will be available soon to fix other small things
Sorry for third consecutive post, but I've updated again the tool
Now it's posssible to copy and patch entire XAP with subfolders and their files

still it doesnt work . acess denied . tried teboot .but still same error
by manually coping reg app contents it worked though

0.4 update available now, I think this will be the latest one for now I think
I have still no luck using it.
Here is some minor mistakes with this app:
Apps folder getting renamed to apps (littlecase first digit "A")
Four stage of Applying... called Defualt app backup (instead of Default)
and the "swapper" doesn`t starting if installed on SD card and then being moved to Internal/Phone storage. Just infinite Loading... appears if you made it. I was forced to install it directly to Phone storage to work.
I`m trying to apply your registry editor to Preview for Developers app. And getting errors (permissions and E_ACCESSDENIED/0x80070005) at the last stage (Default app backup line is filled and Applying custom XAP file is at the dots animation stage). And I`m able to rename Apps forlder with Pocket File Manager, WPSystem folder attributes unchecked correctly, Preview for Developers folder {178AC... is empty after your app`s activity.
I had successfully installed @djamol registry editor but it is now broken by your app
I`m running Lumia 620 with Cyan update that was installed on PfD build which allows to install Cyan onto it. Extras+info app shows Core Build ID 3058.50000.1425.10479. OS version is 8.10.14176.243.

if you are using pfd app then follow these steps
1. try using above app
2. it will show error , ignore it .
3. now manually copy contents of reg app and paste them in pdf app . ( for copy - paste use "file Manager" or "Folders" app )
4. done
It worked for me .

Finally done it manually. After your post I tried to remove PfD app, redownloaded it from store and then with "swapper" tried to swap the apps. After the error messages I did use Pocket File Manager and realized that this time Preview for Developers folder was not empty, there was Install folder into it. I have renamed folder apps to Appx, erased the content of Preview for Developers folder ( {178AC... ) and then renamed folder Appx to Apps.
"Swapper" is the name of the CustomWPSystem app. @GoodDayToDie used it the first time (see original post). I do liked it and then used by myself. Probably that naming making problems for translating sites. Sorry for the inconvience.

Using Metro Commander Pro (paid one, but I got it for free during giveaway) I have copied content of {27D6A090... to {178AC... and:
It works!
I can see that with Android Oreo there is a new section to install from Unknown Sources; but do apps need to update to show up in the list? For example I use Solid Explorer as my file manager and so am used to installing apps from there. Now it won't let me and I have to do it from the Downloads app. Annoying!
If you go to settings, apps & notifications,advanced,special app access,install unknown apps you should be able to allow it for your file manager, if that's what you want.
If you want to install from your file manager, tap the apk while your in your file manager and Oreo should ask you if you want to allow it from your filemanager.
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73623948&postcount=11 this guy had the same issue I guess.
I don't see it in that menu. That's where I was looking already. I only have some google app and facebook.

I just installed and opened the solid explorer, choosed a apk file, solid explorer starts with the menu: open with..., I choosed packet Installer and Oreo ask me if I want to allow to install unknown sources from solid explorer. I don't know what's the problem. You should uninstall and reinstall the solid explorer and start from the beginning, if that fails for you for whatever reason.
