Convert .py to .apk

Sorry if this information is available already.. BUT is there a way to convert a .py to a .apk from the android phone or from the computer I'm sure there is but I don't know how and yes...I've checked on google

How do you mean converting .py to .apk? An .apk file is just a zip compressed archive with a certain file structure containing the compiled sources and your raw resources.
I'm quite certain that there is no way to just convert a Python script to a functional Android application.
If you instead meant that you are looking for an interpreter which interprets Python for example then yes there is a library called Bean shell.

okay thank you I was looking for a way to convert it but I guess it's okay is there a way to treat it as a market app.. where if I gave them a link with a barcode image that they can download it like a regular apk and perhaps give the option to install sl4a.. And how do you increase text size of the interpreter?

I found out how to convert it... It's in the sl4a wiki pages and requires eclipse, quite a bit of steps but it's possible

Just wanted to add the link for the wiki as it's quite disorganized
https://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/SharingScripts#Scripts_as_APKs

so would this work with a project file made up using tkinter? ive got a script i want to build into an app but cant get kivy to work because of an issue with pygame and tkinter works fine

Stockwells porting script question.

As some of you know, stockwell has a miui porting script. I just began to wonder, can it be modified to port other roms from desire z? If someone could alter it a bit try to port one of desire z roms. I have very little knowledge on linux, but someone with more could do it.

Ret4rt and darksage have this script. They can answer to this question.

U could try and just read the script from the github.. U could see the script will automatically add and replace some files and delete unnecessary file from Desire-Z ROM.. U can do it using windows AFAIK... Try using this tutorial
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/porting-android to know exactly what to put to get the phone booting..

Do you have a link to the script?

For those who dont know Linux that well (Me too!), u need to figure out those function(rm=remove, cp=copy) and replace it manually in windows..

But updater-script could make it even harder.

Stockwell make it easy for us actually, if u check that github, there's an "overlay" folder.. Inside is all the file needed to add into the desire-z rom,
including the updater script (/ overlay / META-INF / com / google / android )..

Full Featured Developer Script for ROMs - Need ideas for a name

I am currently work on a program/script to manage ROMs, and I will be releasing it initially for the Kindle Fire for beta testing. This will be a full featured program with the following :
- Compile ROMs from source
- Extract & zip ROMs
- Decompile/Compile APK and JAR files in the ROM (selective or the whole ROM at once)
- Unpack / repack kernel
- ROMs and devices each will have their own config file to store information specific to each, such as comments and status
- Much more planned, such as the ability to browse and edit files, search and compare, etc
The big advantage to this, and what prompted me to write this in the first place, is the ability to have all of the necessary tools in one place and better keep track of your ROM projects. As I was working on modifying or porting ROMs, a big headache was having to go to so many places to do different things to a ROM, which leaves files scattered all over your hard drive.
This will help keep everything more organized and the goal is to cut out manually having to do so much when it comes to basic tasks, and eventually even the more advanced tasks involved.
The initial release will be for Linux, but a Windows version will follow (minus the Linux specific features such as compile from source).
I have made some great progress on this already, and am close to a beta release.
So, what I need help on is a name for this. Here is what I have so far as choices, I welcome suggestions. Those that reply with suggestions for a name will be the first to receive beta versions to try out
- DEVROID
- [ARM] Android Rom Master
That is all I have so far, so please throw some good options my way.

How about - Kindle Fire Rom Manager?

This was originally just for the KF but most of this stuff is generic enough to work on other devices, so I will be adding functionality for multiple devices. So the name shouldn't be specific to the KF. I'm just offering it for the KF first.
When it was going to be KF specific I had "Kindle Inferno" in mind....
Now that would be a good name for a ROM !

decombile the apk and edit the manifest file set min sdk version no to 12 or 13 and recombile.thus ur request is fulfilled. but the app will crash with a null pointer exception if the layout used is only ment for ics and above.else it will work.

that usually wont work trust me

some of app only need to recoded and rebuilded in an IDE. some of them never could work on GB based system since the API and the libs are too different.

ya i knew it wont work thts why i said it will crash with a null pointer exception.
but there are some occations as an app developer we use this trick expecially when working with admob or similiar things. admob sdk will now only support devices from honeycomb. so in that case we will build an app for ics with gb resources i mean layouts and integrate admob sdk.ones it get compiled and done we just change the min sdk version to gb and thts it.the app with ads works perfectly with undupported admob sdk.
but i am damn sure that best ics only apps wont work by this method.because they use more grid layout and one more sory i forgot its name. and hence we will get an force close as eclipse says null pointer exception , the resource not found in layout and so many crap error messages like that.

so the answer is no other way to make ICS apk compitable with GB :laugh:
:highfive:

I never find a ics+ .apk package which is compatible with sgy. Even many CM7 apps (which is based on GB) is also incompatible with sgy.

An ICS app can NEVER be made compatible with Gingerbread. GB is API 10, and ICS is API 15. Each increasing API number contains some newly added functions, classes, enums, interfaces, etc. which are used in the src code. Hence, obviously, an app made with an API 'x' will never be compatible with an API of a no. below 'x'. Even if we make a simple app, like converting KG to Gm, using API level 15, we can't make it compatible with a lower API level by changing the manifest, because the SDKs are different.

[TOOL] Starting a new tool

I'm a beginner in AndroidModding, and the ways that I have found so far are boring (as well as my ability to describe my project).
Basically, I'm developing a visual tool to facilitate mods creation. I know there are already some, but I intend to make a better base for beginners as I don't make crap.
I'll leave out some screen shots and when I make the program more stable I'll upload a first test version.
I wish everyone who has any idea about what I can add in the project manifest and suggest the same. At the end I will give credit to all who help me improve things.
And also, if you guys think this is will be useless please tell me this too

Live log would be good. To watch as phone boots into an inevitable bootloop when trying something new. Saves running log separately and lets you view as it happens. With filtering would be good. Adbmagic did something similar but you cant copy or search the log.
