PUMa (Patch Utility Manager) - Android Software Development

PUMa - Patch Utility Manager​
The program is designed to install patches in the most universal applets\libraries firmware of Samsung-communicators. It works with both odexed, and with deodexed components of many firmware of devices I9100/I91**,I9300,I9500,G850,G900*,G920*/G925*,G928*,G930*/G935*,N7000,N7100,N900*,N910*,N920*,I9001,I9250(Galaxy NEXUS),I8150,P5100/5110,T310/311. Likely to install some patches and other communicators based on the Android OS. It works with external patch (the description of the format and work with them, see Puma_extpatch.txt file.. while only in Russian). Optionally, the added ability to load external data from internet. Information about loading the file is stored in the archive dllink.bin.
The following types of downloads:
• Modem FW (modem firmwares)
• Dump FW (dump stock firmware (aka the contents of the folder /system))
• Dump Content (content dump the firmware, broken into pieces by certain categories)
• Camera (camera firmwares)
• Firmware (common firmwares of devices)
• Program (program & tools)
Working with the program:
0) program preferably placed in a folder without spaces and in the Latin alphabet
1) before running the program in the folder "In" place the files that need to be applied patch/es or used submenu Necessary files for to obtain the necessary files
2) in the program indicate the type of device, AndroidOS version, the class of the patch on the right side select desired patch and click Apply. If you install the patch unnecessary, it is necessary will be shut down and run again, showing only the necessary patches.
At the end of the program components can be patched to pick up from folder "Out". Also, the after applying the patch, the program may specify a update to flashing with help ClockworkMode. While working with a patch program provides information on the processed applet\libraries as follows:
Installed - the patch is applied
Present - patch is already installed in the object
Impossible - impossible to apply the patch to the object
Partially installed - installed only a few points of patch
Mismatch - firmware version of the object is failing the established type device/AOS patch
Attention! Due to the fact that some antivirus programs (Norton360, NOD32, Avast,...) have a somewhat paranoid algorithm for determining the virus, they "found a virus" in PUMa.exe. This is a lie, because the program simply packed EXE-packer to save space. Place the file in the Exceptions PUMa.exe antivirals, so it will not annoy you. Also below is a MD5-hash of the file PUMa.exe, according to which you can verify its correctness, upon receipt of any sources
Patches supported by the program : Post #2
Donations to the project (special thanks ) : bezbo, pglmro
v 4.8
- Added Value_Res tool (Tools-Working with resources-Value_Res). It allows you to change resource values of APK-file (variables of xml-files from the folder res\values) without decompiling\recompile the applet. Currently supported by work with variables of type bool, color, dimen, integer. The algorithm works with the tool:
1. select the apk-file for editing; will automatically upload the names and values resources in the tabs
2. double click on a line change\edit variable (value changed resources are marked in bold)
3. at the end of the work click the Save button (a new file will be created with the current name, the old file is renamed to *.apk.bak)
- Added tool Obfuscation (Tools-Smali-Debug-Obfuscation). In the current version implemented methods of obfuscation of class names, methods, fields on algorithms Mirroring, Numeric order, NDP and Randomized in smali-code (the name and the algorithms invented by me). Distinctive features of the algorithms on a 5-point scale:
a) readability (1-good..5-bad)
b) difficulty in decryption (1-simply..5-impossible)
c) final code length (1-more..3-same..5-less)
Code:
(a) (b) (c)
Mirroring: 3 2 3
Numeric order: 2 4 5
NDP: 4 3 2
Randomized: 4 5 4
For general use available obfuscation method field names with algorithm Mirroring. Tool results on other methods and algorithms are only available by personal request.
- Changed algorithm decompilation\recompile applets with multiple dex-component
- Font in the program changed to Tahoma
- Supplied with the program added to the external patches:
N910*_6.0.*
N920*_6.0.*
G930*/G935*_6.0.*
• System-Removing the signature verification applications
• System-Increasing the speed of response Automatic Brightness Control (ABC)
• System-Adding buttons 'Only once/Always' in task 'To open with'

all can be .. on I9100G program has not been tested. Tell us what you have firmware and if I have it I'll try to see applets mms and phone
ps.. i see mms & phone applet (only on old fw DZKJ2) - patches "call end immediately", "noise reduction on by default" should work. Under question - "disable control of number sending". In next version i try it's patch rewrite

Great job, working perfect for I9100 XWKK5 with russian contacts rule, cancel delay rings and stop converting SMS to MMS. Was installed by one zip file via CWM. Are donated ($100 - Confirmation number: 2SC26619W1027282U).

[Linux][UTILITY][TOOL] APK Multi-Tool

GgI am currently working on a major update to the apk manager application as well and changing the name to APK Multi-Tool with some new added features and also to fix some issues with some code errors.
I am also changing a lot of the features as well since a lot of the code has been outdated for a while.
I have updated all the files and modified Apk manager's Scripts to fix many user reported bugs from Daneshm90 apk manager which he had written a simple script to ease the process of editing apks. Got a lot of downloads so thought its in demand
Whether you're doing basic image editing or editing the smali or xml files, on average u have to use (Brut.all or JF's smali/baksmali) awesome tool to extract the apk, edit it, then sign the apk and then adb push/install it. This process is quite tiresome if you are testing a method that needs fine tweaking.
This script should make the process a LOT smoother.
Theres an option of compiling/signing/installing all in one step
Thanks:
Goes to Daneshm90 the Original Writer of APK Manager
Goes to Brut.all for his awesome tool.
Goes to JF for ofcourse, smali/baksmali
Features:
- Added framework dependent decompiling (For non propietary rom apks). (Option 10). Checks whether the dependee apk u selected is correct.
- Allows multiple projects to be modified, switch to and from.
- Allows to modify system apk's using apktool but ensures maximum compatibility in terms of signature / manifest.xml
- Batch optimize apk (Zipalign,optipng,or both)
- Batch Ogg optimization
- Batch install apk from script (option 19)
- Batch Theme Image Transfer TOOL
- Batch Theme optipng TOOL
- Batch Theme Zipalign APK TOOL
- Compression level selector (monitor status above menu)
- Error detection. Checks if error occurred anytime u perform a task, and reports it
- Extract, Zip apk's.
- Incorporates brut.all's apktool
- Improved syntax of questions/answers
- Logging on/off has been removed. Instead a log.txt is created which logs the activities of the script organized using time/date headers
- Optimize pngs (ignores .9.pngs)
- Pull apk from phone into modding environment.
- Push to specific location on phone
- Quick sign an apk (Batch mode supported)
- Read log (Option 24)
- Sign apks
- Supports batch installation, so if u drag multiple apks into the script (not while its running) it will install them all for u. U can ofcourse drag a single apk as well
- User can change the max java heap size (only use if certain large apks get stuck when decompiling/compiling apks) (Option 19)
- U can now set this script as ur default application for apks. When u do, if u double click any apk it will install it for u.
- Zipalign apks
- Much Much More
Instructions:
- Place apk in appropriate folder (Any filename will work, if running for first time folders will not be there, you must run and then the folders will be created)
- Run script
- Minimize the script
- Edit files inside the project folder
- Maximize the script
Requirements:
Java 1.7
Android SDK
FAQ
Resulting apk file is much smaller than original! Is there something missing?
First: compression of resources.arsc file. Sometimes this file is compressed in original apk, sometimes not and apktool always compress it. Second: lack of META-INF dir. Apktool builds unsigned apks, so they lack signatures stored in this dir. Third: apktool uses newest Android SDK, so it could optimize files better, especially if original app is old. So: unpack both original and resulting apk, remove META-INF from original and then compare sizes. If they're still much different, then you could report on XDA or somewhere.
There is no META-INF dir in resulting apk. Is this ok?
Yes. META-INF contains apk signatures mostly and after modifying apk in no longer signed, so there are no signatures in it. You have to sign resulting apk and then META-INF dir will be created.
What do you call "magic apks"?
Sometimes there are some apks which (for my current knowledge) are invalid, broken, theoretically they shouldn't exist. There may be many reasons of their existence: my lack of understanding of Android resources; some non-public, maybe future SDK tools or custom modifications of these; manual hacking of binaries, etc. Usually I can't do anything about it, but you could at least try to replace broken parts by something valid. Actually it's quite likely that they aren't even used, because if they would, then application would crash.
Got problems ?
1. Make sure your path has no spaces
2. Your filename has no wierd characters
3. Java/adb are in your path
4. It's not a proprietary rom's apk (aka Sense,Motorola,Samsung) (If u are, then use option 11 and drag the required framework, eg com.htc.resources, twframework-res...etc)
5. It's not a themed apk (if it is, expect .9 png errors, use as close to stock as possible)
6. Look at the log to know whats happening
7. If all else fails, post as much info as possible and we will try to assist you.
TO DO LIST
Add new feature to Randomly Generate a new Key File for signing the apk files after modifying and recompiling of the apk files this will also allow of uploading to the android market as this added feature will allow you to sign apk files that you may of compiled without signing beforehand.
Modify the Signapk script to be compatible with the Randomly Generation feature in the works
and a few other added features are in the works as I am redesigning the application and rewriting a lot of the code to fix issues as well as some of the new features have broken parts as some features have been moved and broken some command line prompts.
Installing APK Multi-Tool Itself
Instructions (Linux):
1-Download, create a folder in your sdk called "APK-Multi-Tool" and extract into it.
2-Goto the the "sdk/APK-Multi-Tool" folder and rename "Script.sh" to "script.sh".
3-Go into the "other" folder, right click on one file at a time, goto "permissions" in the new window and check the execute box.(do this with all the files)
4-To add the path to your folder open up a terminal and type in -
sudo su
PATH=$PATH:/THE PATH TO YOUR "SCRIPT.SH"
(for me this looks like the following)
PATH=$PATH:/sdk/APK-Multi-Tool/other/
5-export PATH
6-install "sox"
7-Type into the terminal "cd PATH TO YOUR SCRIPT.SH"
7.5 export PATH={PATH}:/PATH TO Your SDK/sdk/platform-tools/adb
8-Type "./script.sh"
9-You should have a running APK-Multi-Tool.
how to install sox:
Open the software center of the linux service and searched for sox. Installed it and it there you will have SOX working.
- Place apk in appropriate folder (Any filename will work, if running for first time folders will not be there, you must run and then the folders will be created)
- Open terminal and change-directory to APK-Multi-Tool(Easiest way is to type "cd ")
- Chmod 755 Script.sh
- Chmod 755 all files apps inside other folder
- Run script by typing ./Script.sh
- Minimize the script
- Edit files inside the out folder
- Maximize the script
Downloads:
https://github.com/APK-Multi-Tool/APK-Multi-Tool-Linux/archive/master.zip
Please check back daily or weekly as this project is under active Development and I am releasing Alpha releases on the website for Testing and bug reports.
Lol, why has nobody commented on this?
You're a savior. This is awesome. Can't wait for the rewrite.

I got it solved , I just entered the Ubuntu software center and searched for sox. Installed it and it works.
Maybe good to add this in OP when using linux. It is stupid of me thinking it was something harder so thank you for your help and fast response.
A other methode I found here
PS:
You don't need to type in ./Script.sh in teminal in linux , just clicking on it (Script.sh) and select "run in terminal" does the trick without typing anything.

Just uploaded changed attachment. Fixed minor typos in Installation Instructions. Sorry I didn't get it straight before you pushed to github.
I deleted the info for Windows in previous attachments as well due to this being for the Linux version. Didn't know if you caught that.
PS: Thought I would let you decide if you liked my hair brained ideas first.
Is there any way to have a .jar file work without having to rename to .apk, or is that a mind bogling code rewrite. I'm all for learning.
Hey, I made some changes to the script to act more like the windows version of this tool. I added a setup.sh which will create all the folders and set permissions to everything. i also the ability to have multiple projects going at the same time, and also added a separate jar/dex folder so there is no need to rename the jar files to .apk to edit it. and other updates as well. its not 100% up to par with the windows one, but these few changes make a huge difference. Would you be interested in this?

What this software does ?
This software has made from 5 parts.
1. Rename APK
2. Compare APK
3. Find APK from txt
4. APK Batch Installer | Uninstaller
5. Backup | Restore Data​
Rename :
1. Add apk files to the list by doing one of the following:
• Double-click apk files in Explorer while the Rename-tab is active
• Drag & Drop from Explorer
• Add single files via “Add APK”
• Add whole directories via “Choose Folder” (Folder history via “▼”)
• Add files from your Phone via “From Phone” (ADB connection needed)
Note: You can sort the list individually by clicking the column headers.
2. Setting the renaming pattern
Set the desired pattern via the Dropdown-menu below the list.
If you want, you can set an individual pattern by using the provided tags.
Note: <Manual|Label> will use the names provided in the manual rename-list.
For apps that are not the list, the standard label is used…
3. Renaming:
• Select the files you want to be renamed by marking them in the list
• Press “Preview” to see what the files will be named or press “Rename” straight away.
• If you want to send these files to the Compare-tab, right-click on the list and press “Compare”
Monitor :
You can set up a folder for APK Organize to monitor. It will automatically rename all apk files you put in there.
Set up your desired directory and the renaming pattern, then click “Enable” to start the monitoring.
You can now close APK Organize. It will continue to run in system tray.
Check “Auto Start” to start monitoring on windows startup.
You can check what APK Organize is doing by clicking “Logs”
Note: Existing files will not be renamed. Monitoring only works for newly added files…
Newly added apps that already exist will automatically be overwritten.
Check “Ask for overwrite”, if you don’t want that.
Manual Rename :
Sometimes two or more applications have the same label name but are in fact different apps (f.e. Angry Birds).
If you want APK organize to rename any apps differently, you can associate a package name with an individual name.
1. Add apps to this list by doing one of the following:
• Drag & Drop from Explorer
• Add single files via “APK” → “Add”
• Add whole directories via “APK” → “Add from folder”
2. Double-click or press F2 one the corresponding cell in the right column and enter the desired name
3. Save the list anywhere you want via “File” → “Save”.
4. Close the window, go to “Manual Rename” → “Load list” and select the list you have created.
5. Set the renaming pattern to "<Manual|Label> v<Version>" or "<Manual|Label>".
6. Press “Rename”. APK Organize will now rename the files accordingly. For apps that are not specified in your list, it will use the regular label.
Compare :
1. Choose if you want to compare by file name or by Label name and version from “Search with”
2. Choose the directory to compare to on the top panel. (F.e. your apk archive)
3. Add the new apk files to the list:
• Double-click apk files in Explorer while the Compare-tab is active
• Drag & Drop from Explorer
• Add single files via “Add APK”
• Add whole directories via “Add Folder” (Folder history via “▼”)
4. Press “Scan”. APK Organize will now automatically mark every finding in the bottom list.
5. You can now do the following with the results (or your own markings):
• Delete: Deletes all old files… You will then be asked, what to do with the new files.
• Copy: Copies the new files to the specified directory
• Move: Moves the new files to the specified directory
Note: You can do the above steps for files without results too by right-clicking them.
You can also load an exception list. Files that are on this list will be moved to an exception
folder on the target directory to be organized manually…
Search :
This tab enables you to do operations with a specified list of apps, f.e. if you have to install a bunch of apps after a wipe. If you have to do this very often and the apps are always the same, APK Organize can automate this process for you:
1. Create the list of apps you want to do operations with or select a list via “Select list”, if you have already done one of the steps below.
The list MUST only contain the app’s label names without versionnumber, divided by a linebreak. You can do this by the following:
• Manually add the apps with “Add”, Drag & Drop from Explorer or double-click from Explorer and save it via “Save List” for further use.
• Export a list with ROM Toolbox or any app that is capable of exporting list in the demanded pattern and load it into APK Organize. Make the necessary changes and save the list.
2. Choose the directory where your apk files are stored for the left list.
3. Press “Scan”. APK Organize will now list every finding in the bottom list.
4. Do the operations of your desire via the provided buttons on the bottom.
Install :
Installing apk files:
1. Add apk files to the list by doing one of the following:
• Double-click apk files in Explorer while the Rename-tab is active
• Drag & Drop from Explorer
• Add single files via “Add APK”
• Add whole directories via “Choose Folder” (Folder history via “▼”)
• Add files from your Phone via “From Phone” (ADB connection needed)
2. Press “Install”. APK Organize will now try to install the apps over ADB. See the log, if there are any errors.
Note: You can view details like label, package name and permissions via right-click → Details
“Unknown sources” has to be enabled on your phone to install apk files…
You can sort the lists individually by clicking the column headers.
Uninstalling APK files:
1. Go to “Mode → Uninstaller” and choose, if you want to view the installed apps by label or package name.
2. Select the Apps you want to uninstall by marking them and press “Uninstall”
3. APK Organize will now try to uninstall the apps over ADB. See the log, if there are any errors.
Backup : (Root Needed!)
1. Set the directory you want to store your backups in via “Backup Directory”.
2. Go to “Packages” and choose, if you want to view the installed apps by label or package name, or click “From Directory” to display the backups from your chosen directory.
3. Check “App” and/or “Data” for the apps you want to backup or restore and press “Backup” / ”Restore”.
4.APK Organize will now try to complete the task. See the log, if there are any errors.
Notes: If most of the backups/restores fail for you it may be that your ADB daemon is running in secure mode. This can happen on stock kernels, but also on other setups. In that case, try running ADB ROOT (and maybe set it to Auto mode) in APK Organize
For Restores “Unknown sources” has to be enabled on your phone…
You can sort the lists or check/uncheck something for all apps by clicking the column headers.
If you have checked App and Data for an App and it gives an error, try checking “Skip failure for App or Data while backing up both”. It is not necessarily an error, because there just might be no data to back up…
Requirements :
Windows OS ( In video it is windows with Ubuntu Skin )
.NET Framework 4

Glad you like it !
Those guys who downloaded, No idea ?
Is it worked ? No bugs found ? No feature you need ?
I tested it and it works perfectly as far as renaming and comparing is concerned . I would love this application to have the capability of getting the apps list by itself from the phone. And also to generate a text file with app list or an html with links in the folder with apks or alphabetically arranging the apks etc.
And ya i got some error about the aapt stuff while renaming , I renamed the apps with different tool and then compared them with this tool.
I would love this thing to develop more . All the best ! and thanks again.

Tested new version , no bugs as such . But sometimes it doesn't delete the older version of an apk.

Thanks for this small but very useful tool.

Hey man, here is an Idea, change the compare module to compare by hash, like MD5.
Some people, me included, mod apk for theming but the package name is the same, maybe comparing with md5 and give an option to rename the duplicates will be cool.
Also a small request, is it possible for you to make an Android application to rename a bunch of APK in a given directory to their Application Name, like "Application Name v1.0.0.apk" or "applicationname_1.0.0.apk" or something like that? I ask this because I installed a backup software but it makes this backups with the package name and I always end with files like com.something.apk and it is a real pain to find out which file is what.

Hey.
comparing is not by package name, it searchs by application name.
for searching hash if you help and explain more maybe i can do some work !
for duplicates the software asks what to do ! keep both or replace or skip !
and your last request, Renaming in phone !!?

UPDATED: its more user friendly now,...
I don't see the cm folder though...
Sent from my VS920 4G using Tapatalk 2
Buddy all folders are there and they are getting created perfectly...
Please follow the on screen instructions of the script...
Superb tool, many thanks for your work on this!
When diff -ing smali files, I'm confused, do I merge from right to left or vice versa? The file on the left is the original MIUI file, so I add from the left?
Many thanks again.
Peace
Edit: if Miui is on left and CM file is on the right, then I add content from CM file, i.e right -> left? Right?
When diff ing You always add stuff to your miui... not the other way around...
The next version will try to make it a lil easier..
Yeah the folders are still not there, I am following the directions, so I guess I am unlucky.....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
What do you mean the folders are not there?? As I said the script explains itself... so you should just follow it...
Cm n miui folders are created 1 after the other... so when the script stops n tells you to extract a particular zip, its waiting for u to extract it... then it checks it n then the other folder is created...

FAQ
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
Q: the app crashed immediately after patch
A: ehm... I don't know, please advice me within this topic. Try to deploy again the app.
Q: Preview For Developers (or other apps) vanished from app list and I can't reinstall or unistall
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.

Hi, following XDA user djamol tutorial, I've created an helper that allows in less click to patch system app to use OEM APIs
This app is based on This tutorial from this topic (ok... seems that there's no more tutorial there)
How does it functions?
Choose the app target
With this first version it's possible to choose only three target apps, i will add other apps soon:
Live Lock Screen beta
Glance Background beta
Preview for developers
Download the app and move it to SD card (using storage sense)
Choose the custom XAP (the app uses the integrated file picker)
Patch!
The app will automatically patch the app
This is the first release ever, so there may be bugs. I've tried with a custom lockscreen and it worked.
Remember that you need an SD card into your phone!
Sorry for bad english and enjoy!

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
-snickler
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
Check this solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57697453&postcount=7
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 )

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!
