[Request] whatsapp("installable in sdcard") - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hello guys,
I've tried many times to decompile whatsapp and edit it's Androidmanifest.xml file to make it installble in sdcard..When i try to recompile the apk i'm getting a message "Killed" I've tried it around 15times still no Luck..Can anyone decompile it and edit its manifest file then recompile and Upload it :-/
please it's a kind request :'(

you cannot force an apk to install on sd card
you can request it to install on sd card by using the following but chances are it will still be installed on internal but it will become movable to sd card in manage applications in phone settings
Code:
android:installLocation="preferExternal"
so it looks like this in the manifest
Code:
<manifest android:versionCode="48398" android:versionName="2.11.186" android:installLocation="preferExternal"
package="com.whatsapp"
dont forget you need to use jellybean framework-res.apk in order to decompile and recompile 3rd party apps
also looking at whatsapp I think its already moveable to sd card by opening it up in manage applications in phone settings and selecting move to sd card
If that option is not there add the above to the manifest - it will still install on sd card but it will be moveable
Dont forget to sign the apk with a testkey and you wont be able to update the app via the playstore if you resign it
also as note - never move a widget to sd card using this method - it will break the widget

make sure you are using apktool1.5.2

if you are using version 2 or beta version higher than that version it may not be able to smali files

either its an error in installing apktool or if it can decompile and recompile other apks fine its not able to do that apk for some reason
but have you tried just opening up phone settings and going to applications manage applications and selecting whatsapp and moving it to sd card
you only need to edit things if the option move to sd card is not available
if its not available I can upload the one I moddded but if the offical one can be moved stick to that else you wont be able to update the app via the playstore
You can also use link2sd to link apps to virtual sd card storeage

thats ok - make sure to uninstall any previous version first or you will probably get application not installed due to differences in signature and its unlikely you will be able to update it via the playstore so you will have to mod each new version

and move these .apk files to system/app/...
ALL APK FILES FROM POST 1, AND 2 ARE IN THIS ZIP.
APPS THAT ARE NOT ON POST 1 OR 2 ARE IN POSTS ARE IN NORMAL POSTS, AND THESE ARE THE ONES ADDED SO FAR.
think free or thinkdroid.apk
The Sim's LIMITED Edition (WORKS ON VIBRANT ONLY) - all downloads are on post.
Continued....

its just the .apk, so people on custom roms, but have avatar on sd card, they can use that .apk with the sd card movie.
Awesome. Will add to the stickies soon.
Should be in the App Section though. Hopefully a mod can move it.

The Sims is a problem because it is two APKs. One is the launcher and does nothing without the actual game. The game is too HUGE to post, and might be considered warez, even though it has been confirmed it will only run on a true T959. So if you want that one the best solution at the moment it to get it from the market since EA recently released it.

On astro click back until it says back 1 more time to exit.
That's where u find system then find app or apps, then paste or move it in there.
To the version of swype question, this is from the latest official froyo.
Edit : I will add thinkfree AND sims if a mod tells me its okay.
Ill add sins by giving sd card data

Have you confirmed that the apk is in fact in /system/app and that it was not a failed copy?
I have noticed that when using DroidExplorer to do pushes, if the permissions are not correct it acts the same as if it copied ok. I usually end up having to verify using a on phone file manager like Astro or Root Explorer that the file is actually there.
after rebooting again i checked astro and it is in the system/app folder. i did notice that the rest of the files in system apps have the size, date, and something that says -r- (dont really know too much about astro so i have no idea what that means). but i did notice that the memo apk has the size, date, and instead of -r- is has -rw. anyone know what that means?

[Q] A little understanding of APK required !!!!!!!

Hello!
I am new to android and need to know a little bit about the .APK files.
Now I don't know about the users of other phones, but Xperia PLAY users can now download a couple of EA games for free, using the Xperia PLAY app. When we click on a particular game, say Worms for instance, they take us to a webpage where from we download an .APK file.
This file later installs the app or the game in the phone. My question is what happens to this .APK file. I mean I can assume that the .APK was downloaded in SD because we are talking about androids which don't have much internal space. But the real question is; are we supposed to delete these .APK files, as we do in Windows' computers with the .exe files or are they deleted on their own?

.APK files don't just act as an executable installers but they also act as the main executable of the application itself. when you install an application off your sd card, a copy of the .APK file is moved to /data/app/. You are then free to delete the .APK file from the download directory on your SD Card
So u r telling me that all the applications I hav downloaded so far (both which hav been uninstalled and which are still installed) have their apk's filling up ny de memory.

No when you uninstall an app the .APK is deleted from /data/app/
Ok but what about the apk of installed and uninstalled apps in the sd card? Do I hav to delete them manually?

Yeah once you install an app, if you want to save space you have to delete the .APK off your SD Card manually

There are two ways to move apps to sd
1 - go into applications in phone settings
select the app you want to move
select move to sd card
Note this option is not available with all apps and may break them
Widgets cannot be moved to sd card this way - they will not work
2 - use link2sd
Create 2nd ext partition in cwm (it will format sd card so backup)
Install & run link2sd app & select the correct ext for your kernel (EXT4 is most common)
Go to settings in app select auto link
Your can manually move (link) apps to sd card by clicking them & selecting create link
Note this method requires root & is much better than option 1 as apps will not break
For more info see link2sd thread

It is downloaded first and then installed..if u want to keep a copy of the apps instead of backing them up..open any root file explorer and go here..

That is correct - you can also use root uninstaller which can back them up for you and can also be used to reinstall apps not currently installed on phone that you have previously downloaded
@eatheat u r correct bro but the problem is he should have root acess to see that and if he uninstall a app then that apk file in root folder will also get deleted n he won't b having any backup to install in future..

Easiest way is Just download a file maneger like es file explorer or astro file maneger. You can easily backup installed apps without having to root.

@Everyone ..he asked where it all went..not how to back them up..
If he wants to back up..he can just take anything off the store..I use Astro and DroidSail super app remover for backing up system apps..

Well, thing is.. you dont need root access to see /data/app folder.. try opening ES file explorer and see root folder and you can copy those apk files to sdcard without root permission...

Put the files in Android/data...
Download AntTek File Explorer (Free from Play Store)
Browse to Android/data and then move it to Android/obb
For now, thats the only way it worked for me!!
I think its the permission issue, which AntTek Explorer solves!!
Give it a try!

[HOW TO] write to the external SD card (must be rooted)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715657
OK so as you have noticed kit kat does NOT allow third party apps to write to the SD card, this is stupid, but lucky for us we have a fix IF you are rooted
we have 2 solutions
1) using root explorer or something similar go to
/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and enter the permission that i have circled in red below (see attached) then it will work. Enter it so it looks EXACTALLY like it does below
2) the other option that MAY work is to go to the play store and download SDFix, that does the same thing (however myself and a few others are reporting that it isnt working as it is written)
big thanks to Mr Sam Epic for showing the fix, which came from Unknown Force in a SGS4 forum
****edit 4/19
had a few reports of SDFix not working, it didnt for me, i thought it was just a random error, what i did to fix it was to go into platform.xml and manually edit the permission so it looks exactally like the image below, i put in the extra return after the permission, there is not a logical reason why this fixed it, but it did
Also if you're going the non-rooted approach, although not necessarily preferred, it does work to just copy stuff with the stock my files app, as it is a system app rather than third party.

I'm having to copy my movie and music files to sdcard via the my files app. The app makers need to update so we can automatically save to sd.

If you are rooted and do the fix I listed above and then reboot you should be able to change the directory it saves to, if not uninstall and reinstall the app and all should be fine

Thanks, but will only root when there is a way that doesn't invalidate warranty.

Use an app called File expert. This app has been updated and can read/write to external xd card without root.
