Hi,
because our developers are so fast in releasing new ROMs every day I decided to make a nice little app for convenience.
Ever had this problem?
You are on the road, checking XDA and your favourite dev has just updated your ROM. You cannot wait until you come back home, but wait. There are all those apps you always remove from the ROMs before you flash them. And all your favourite MODs you need to add.
That's where ROMEditToGo comes in.
What it does
This app is for modifying ROM files. You can delete files (APKs for now) from the ROM. Also you may merge files from other ZIPs into the ROM (if they are already in there).
It is especially for those people, that want to modify some aspects of a ROM, but don't want to use a PC/Mac for that purpose.
You can open ROMs from the app or from any file explorer (any zip file).
You can define a default path for your ROM, so the dialog to choose ROMs will open this folder first (if you use OI File Manager).
There's also a backup option, in case you want to leave the source ROM unmodified.
Available Languages are English and German.
What it will do
I'm planning to implement some more features like
adding single files to the ROM
Maintain a (user-defined) list of commonly deleted files (e.g. Stocks.apk)
Implement forbidden files, which are needed for the ROMs to work
Check if file is a ROM
Customizing scripts
You name it...
What it does not
The ROM files are not signed. So you have to turn off verification in recovery. Also there are several APKs you should better leave in the ROM.
What you need
Android 2.2 installed...
Caution
Removing APK files from the ROM may produce a file that is not able to start correctly. Please be careful when removing files. Make sure you have a copy of a working ROM, in case something went wrong.

This is because your ROM doesn't contain a zip binary. I will try to work around this in the next version.

Its awesome of you too share.
I find myself creating my own custom ROMS, taking wallpaper from one ROM and framework from another and the ability to include UOT in the package while being away from my PC, absolutely sick.
Really nice app idea, thanks for sharing.
Could you post a link to android zip binary file?
Thanks.
GENIUS idea, why didn't anyone else make this?

Just released a new version. As a part of the check it is now possible to directly install the zip binary.
The downside of this is, that the app needs root now, and also S-OFF.
If I find the time, I'll provide a flashable.zip for the binary.
Any chance of it supporting other file managers? I use ES File Explorer. Great app though.

New Version is out.
You can now use any file manager. The downside is, that the standard action doesn't allow to choose a folder to start from.
You can choose in the settings, which way you want it.
New version:
No more need for zip binary. Also it's now possible to search for apks in the ROM.
Superb App. Working wonders for me.
Regards.
simply AMAZING
Hi,
was really happy to find your app...
but on my HTC Desire running ICS from Sandvold it doesn't work.
The zip is 22 bytes big afterwards, so it's actually empty. Besides, when I select a different zip to be included, the button to start processing can't be pressed...
Any chance for a fix?

I'm on sandvolds ICS, too.
If you choose an addon, you also have to select the files to insert.
For the 22b error I got no idea, which rom did you edit?
Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire mit Tapatalk
Thanks for your reply.
I'm on Sandvold's 0.2.0 and wanted to adapt 0.2.1, because I don't want to switch from data++...
I tried just changing the zip file but somehow that doesn't work either. When I open it with 7zip and try to delete some apk's, it says "operation not implemented".
When I try it with WinRAR, I get "Archive is broken" after the delete operation.
I also unzipped it, deleted what I don't need and re-zipped it, but then my 4ext Touchcovery aborts the installation...
Any help for these methods is also appreciated...

(Sept. 1st 2009) NEW HTC CHome Plugins & Apps from T-Mobile Dash 3G (TEST RELEASED)
Hello, I just downloaded the new T-Mobile ROM from here. I noticed they made a few new CHome aka Titanium Plugin as well as might have updated some.
I managed to extract the ROM, but I am not the greatest at doing so. When I did, everything is in one Folder. I am wondering if someone more skilled at ROM extraction would mind extracting this ROM in Packages so it'd be easier to pull out what I want/need. Here's a list of the new plugins in that ROM btw. Well at least what I'm guessing from the CPR layouts.
MyWeather
HTCMyFaves
HTCVOICEMAIL
HTCWeather
HTCSMSMMS
HTCMusic
HTCSprintMusic
HTCPIEFAVORITE
MyPageWithChild
HTCEMAIL
Also, the MyFaves app for T-Mobile USA user has been completely redone so I'd like to work on porting it to see what changed since it's been quite some time since the oirginal we have.
NOTE: It only has a Landscape Flash. Will probably need a skill Flash maker to convert the Landscape one to Portrait.
Got HTC Email/SMS & MMS/IE Favorites/Audio Manager/Sprint Music working. They still need some layout tweaking as Sliding Panels has a 112 Focus Panel Height & Titanium uses a 82 Focus Panel Height. All file exist for HTC Weather, but for some reason it won't show & the app won't update when city is selected. Maybe it's just PPC incompatable. Still need Package for HTC MyFaves (T-Mobile app). Releasing as is for anyone who wants to take this over. Don't have time to mess with Layouts & HTC Weather. Really just looking for HTC MyFaves myself.

It is a WM 6.1 Standard ROM. Smartphones have had CHome since 6.1. PPC's only just got it in 6.5. The plugins still work for us though.
EDIT: Can you upload Package Builder here. I tried the link & registered but it keeps telling me I don't have permission & I even completed activation via e-mail link

Yes, I registered & click activation link in the e-mail, but still not seeing any posts. Any ideas as to why? does it take time to update completed actvitation maybe?
Ok, so package builder 3 didn't seem to do anything other than move the files. Maybe I should mention when i extracted everything I am not even getting any .reg or .rgu files. I took the .nbh file & extracted it to .nb files & than extract the os .nb file that I got & got a huge SYS folder. Inside the SYS folder there are 3 more folder, the main one being DASH3G which contains every dll/image/app/etc that appears to come from the \Windows directory of the ROM.
Hey friend, I am dowloading the ROM now, I will extract and package everything up for you and send you the download link in a little while!

Cool, thanks man! Would try myself, but this extraction/dumping/package stuff is just a bit over my head atm & too much on my plate as it is to learn atm. So, greatly appreciated!
Eagerly waiting for extraction! Planning to release non-OEM too? Would like to try some new titanium plugins on my 23037...
Thanks everyone!
Incase someone wants to work on the flash for MyFaves. Here's the old Flash & New Flash. Looks like the new one is missing touch support (Old version when loaded into internet broswer would show Link Mouse Curse over Hotspots, New version doesn't do that) & there's no Portrait SWF either.
My5_*.swf is the old file, myFaves_*.swf is the new.
NOTE: Might be worth while to check into the Rodium aka TP2 to see if that is a better version of MyFaves to use & if it's even compatable as this version is deisgned to write to CHome Registries.
Ran into a snag, the ROM at that link has been dumped and rebuilt again already, so it is protected and when I try to dump it it will not dump properly lol! So I am lookin gfor the OEM RUU_Maple_HTC_signed.exe. As soom as I find it I will dump it and get everything ready for you! Shouldnt be to long!

GUIDE:
Here are 2 methods:
1, Method; - Dumping any File Manager to change system files (eg Root Explorer, andRootFile, ES Explorer, etc.)
- Dumping and put the file on the Micro SD "LGHome.apk"
http://www.multiupload.com/L693R1IHFT
- Open a File Manager previously downloaded, and with it we place the file "LGHome.apk 'to' path inside the System / App
- Then we set the permissions like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Finally, reboot the phone.
2 ° Method; - Download the file "LGHomeForCustom.zip"
http://www.multiupload.com/H6ET7A54O5
- Pass it on Micro SD
- Turn off and turn on the phone in Recovery
- Choose the file downloaded and flash.
- Just finished the flash, reboot the phone.
Thanks to the guide creator (remix96 ). He created the guide to install. Do post your feedback
PS: widgets doesnt work.
On androidworld we are testing we noticed that the widgets do not work, crash the launcher.
But there have been many improvements:
Very fast and fluid
Weighs only 2MB against the old 5Mb
You can reduce them by category and move the pinch-to-zoom

1. Download T9dialer_for_ICS_4_0_3.zip, and unzip it.
2. (Optional). Make a backup of your old .apk's. In case it's not working. They are found in system\app.
3. Copy the files you just downloaded, and paste them in system\app, overwriting the old ones.
4. Change the permissions of the files that you just pasted in system\app, to: RW-R-R
5. Reboot your phone.

It's a bad habit to share stuff like this... noobs get used to it and when you less expect someone starts share hijacked apps. :\
Weird how people complain about random app's permissions, when the android permissions system sucks ass: there are many simple tasks that apps do, but the system requires the app to request almost-full phone access. On the other hand, no-one seems to even question some guy that simply shares a zip and instructs them to flash it through the recovery!!!

It's supposed to be like that...
And I think this is the dialer from CM, so it's safe. I have no problems with it, it's been the only mod I install on Aurora since the beginning.

Back in June of 2010 Daneshm90 gave us the Apk Manager. Since then various versions based on this have come up here and there. Most common was the Apk-Mulitool which many are familiar with. Well since Neither of these have been updated in quite some time, along with me getting tired of cluttering my C drive with apks and decompiled apks, I decided I need to do something about this.
So I present to you the Apk Editor which is based on the original Apk manager - original thread here and also Ptmr3's Deviant Manager - original thread here
For now this is based on the apktool 2.2.4 but will be updated when needed.
So it's pretty easy to use and has been modified to work on any version of android including Marshmallow! You do not have to run this or install in C drive! You can use it on your desktop or even and external hard drive, or have multiple of them running and open at once if you wish. The only requirement is to have java 1.7 (other versions will likely error out!!!)
1.8 seems to cause errors so if that's what you're on, just do a quick downgrade. Often it's as simple as uninstalling the 1.8 update in control panel. I wrote this part again because many people don't read it the first time so by repeating it my hope is the ability to read will commence!

inside the place-aoj-here-for-modding folder as well as the projects folder is a Delete_ME.txt file. Delete that from each folder!
next you need to install the framework from your device (note some devices may have more than one framework.apk that needs to be installed) so copy your framework(s) apk(s) to your desktop (important!) then navigate to the z-install frameworks folder. Simply drag and drop your framework(s) apk(s) onto the file "apktoo-if.cmd". A small window will open and tell you it was successful. If it just quickly opens and closes immediately that is because you didn't copy your framework apks onto your desktop like I just told you that you needed to do!
Now you're all set. Simply place your apks in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder and run the ApkEditor.bat file and follow the prompts.
Tips: If you get an error, choose option 5 to run the log and a red command window will open. You don't need to use that to find your error. I have it automatically outputting to the "log.txt" file in the root of the tool.
Also every now and then it is recommended to open the log.txt and delete everything in it and then save. This will actually speed up the rate at which the log generates. If you don't and decided to let it accumulate, it won't hurt anything but you will notice that when you run the log that the red cmd window seems to run for a very long time. Just make sure the main ApkEditor.bat file is closed when you do this or it won't allow you to save.
I do not want to see posts with people posting huge error logs. If you need to post your log I ask that you use the hide tags.

@markbencze sick, bro!
@markbencze is taking over xda haha
Benczebro, you are awesome.. Thank you for this..
You got something on every burner of the stove, man. Good work.
this comes in handy, nice work
I'm working on an update guys to latest apktool 2.0.0rc4 and may push it out tonight. I will be stripping this tool of may unneeded options too. Likely will just have decompile, compile, sign and possibly zipalign. Zipalign really isn't needed so we'll see.

I'd prefer to see zipalign stay.
When I'm compiling a theme apk with my version of apkmanager, I usually compile it, select 'n' for not a system apk, sign it and then zipalign it.

I understand what you're saying. I'm still on the fence though only because for example: you are making a theme or app for play store and you want to sign and zipalign it and do so. Your apk will be rejected by google. You will be asked to use something else ie: vts, eclipse or as.
So it seems a bit redundant to keep it. That being said I may keep it still for people to at least have the option. But my goal is to keep this basic and very simple.

I know you want to keep it simple but i dont mind the options As I use them more then most I would say. IT has worked so far for me without issue. Very straight forward and simple really.
I think we tend to dunb things down a bit to much as of late.

Good point. Perhaps I'll make 2 versions. One for basic stuff and new to modding users and one one full one. Just so my inbox can avoid too many "how does this work" posts.
I'll link my git as well so you guys can just clone it to stay up to date too

I'll be honest. If you are getting pm like that then they need to do some more reading. Your directions are pretty straight forward.
is it really an editor if you cant "re" compile?

And why can't you?
so you can?
Code:
decompile apks
compile (not recompile!!!) apks
sign apks
im just going by its stated description so it does decompile and recompile apks?

So guys, I had just flashed the latest MM Update , But was on Bliss 6.0.
So in the MM Update what caught my eyes was the SHIELD Camera, So What's so cool about this camera?
FEATURES
1) HDFX ( Real time effects can be added, and its lots of them)
2) Barcode Scanner (No need for separate scanner app, and it does scan xD)
3) Slow Motion Video ( Last I remember it was on iPhone I guess, Now on Android and our beloved SHIELD)
4) A Cute UI as they say **New UI inspired by Material Design, improved burst photo functionality**
INSTALLATION
*ROOT IS REQUIRED*
1) Download the attached file [8.04MB]
2) Extract it wherever, the folder SHOULD be NvCamera.
3) Copy the entire folder with it contents [It has 1 file and folder{ NvCamera.apk and lib folder with more 1 folder which has 5 .lib files ]
4) Copy to /system/app
5) Now these is Important, change the permissions of each file and folder including the NvCamera folder too, to rwx rwx rwx.
{ I REPEAT EACH AND EVERY FILE } and install the NvCamera.apk normally. (Use any File Explorer, ES {in my case} Does it beautifully, Solid throws out some error but does the Job)
6) Reboot [Recommended]{Spoiler : I tried without rebooting worked though :33}
[PRO TIP : On first Run it gives tutorial and asks for permissions grant them if you skip them give them manually from the settings later anytime.]
BUGS:
As ports have bugs this too has one bug :3
1) Panorama Gives FC
OTHERS :
1) Works with other devices too, but HDFX is not available [ was tested on 6.0.1 RR ROM]
2) SLOW MO Video gives FC :33
REQUEST :
If someone better than me can make a flashable zip with all the permissions and stuff it would be great.
UPDATE:
Special Thanks to demkantor for including this in his Aroma Flashable Zip :highfive: located HERE
{1st Post forgive if any mistakes}
[Recommendations are always welcome ]
I'll try updating it with the coming updates, but I'm no developer, just wanted to share
And yeah the Thanks Button Doesn't Bites

2) Google and my Linux Teacher for teaching me permissions stuff ( I really didn't knew them xD)

Cool! Have been too lazy to pull this from the Stock 4.0.1 update.
One thing. Typically permissions in /system/app are:
Folders: rwxr-xr-x
Files: rw-r--r--
I'm no Linux guy so not sure how much those will affect things.
Maybe why you need to install the APK after putting into /system? Usually not needed?

I tried the permissions as you said, for me it gave FCs :3.
Apk?until permissions aren't changed it won't install until it's --x i was laughing my ass off xD
The proprietary camera app works on custom ROMs without modification? Cool. I'll have to add that to CM-Shield, then.

I've added the stock camera to CM-Shield. Once the various derivatives update their trees, this should be available in those custom ROMs without needing to install anything extra.
Dunno if there's anything to this that wasn't covered by Focal already, but hey, options are always nice. And I guess the interface is pretty simple and slick.

I did have a typo. For files I said "rwXr--r--" where it should have been "rw-r--r--" like what's in my screenshot of the App folder
That file manager is the venerable Root Explorer. It just had a UI update about a week ago to finally "Materialize" it
