Hi all, I'm attempting to modify/fix someone else's app. The app is a forum reader. It used to be on the Play store, but has now been removed.
I still use it, but it doesn't work properly. I'd like to fix it to continue using it. This is for my personal use only.
Basically, I can reply to threads/make new posts, but I can't create new threads. (There is other stuff I'd like to change as well).
Could anyone help? I won't attach the app here now, I'm not sure if I can post it, as the app doesn't belong to me. (Can anyone confirm?)
Thanks, Chris
You can post the app as long as its not a paid for application (posting paid apps is warez).
As for modifying/fixing it though, you'd have to use apktool to edit it and even then you wouldn't be able to work in java, it would be in smali which is a pain in the ass to work with.
Thanks for the reply. The app was free. Please see attachment.
The forum reader is for forums.overclockers.co.uk
I'm using Virtuous Ten Studio to edit the app.
My main issue is creating new threads. In the app I have this;
Code:
<string name="prule_create_new_topic_url">a[href^=/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=]</string>
........newthread&f=*
The forum uses the same command to post new threads, where the * is the sub-forum number.
I think the above string is correct, so I'm assuming the code is wrong elsewhere?
I'm really out of my depth here, learning as I go. Thanks

Can someone write a small app to view .icon and .png files? Or does anyone know of one? I am sure I am not the only one with too many icons. But I cant remember what they all look like.
Thanks IA
use the search engine on this site to search "picture viewer". There is 1 or 2 that will view most of them. Fyi, They don't take kindly around here to new threads by jr members. it typically means that member didn't do enough research first. Most will tell you this is a reasearch and development site primarily. Not a help me with everything site. Just thought you should no going forward.
I found this great bar code scanner for windows mobile thanks to Hypest over at xda Here is the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
My questioni is after i scan for the first time you are able to open up a seettings menu in the root folder. There is an argument in there which attributes to opening the external source which happens to be google. I was wondering how I could change that program to open up and paste the barcode into www.fastpricecheck.com. Every way I have done it so far has given me nothing but errors. there is a cab version of this program for windows mobile. Could I have the argument open the program and paste the barcode there? Any help would be appreciated and these two together would make a really cool app for our phones.
Thanks again
Hello,
do you have any example codes that do return results when used normally on the site, but return errors when used through Barcorama?
1d barcode
Nothing actually returns through the program. It always asks to go to the external. Yet whenever I tried to change the code to copy the barcode to the fastcheck.com it just gives me an error saying that the url does not accept characters. You have an awesome program by the way. If we can just get it to work like this and maybe add a few extra tweaks we would have one heck of a program to rival the G1's
I might suggestion you do a quick read through of the rules, and read what is below the DEVELOPMENT AND HACKING hyperlink at the forum menu:
Everything to do with software development for the phones. Please refrain from posting unless you're a software developer or hardcore techie. Postings from others will be moved.

I've been searching through all the threads, and while there are questions relating to this, there appear to be no answers.
I'll appologise to admins and wizards in advance right now. Sorry if this has been covered somewhere, but I've been searching for a month now, and I've found nothing that works.
All I want to do is change the default apps for windows mobile. You can do it in Windows; why not WM? I've tried SPB Mobile shell, Gsmart (which I really like), and Manilla 2D. I can't change the default apps for Calendar, SMS, Clock, etc.
The ssmapa app won't work. Don't know why just gives an error when 'Init' is clicked. Can't find any info on that error, and I've tried all the other suggestions I've seen.
Haven't been able to find a pointer to anything in the Registry that would allow me to change the default app. I've edited the reg to stop tmail.exe being the default app, but I still get it popping up when I click the messages button.
Can anyone provide details on how to edit any of the shell apps, or the windows registry; which one I don't care. If I can find one that'll work, I'll use that app.
This is driving me a bit mad.
I thank the people who've written up how to's on the xml for spb, gsmart, manilla, and the like. They're useful for changing the look of the shell, but not the functionality. They are really great additions to the forum.
Great work guys (and gals ).
Any help would really be appreciated, prior to me forcibly removing all my hair folicles.
If this has been covered, can someone please post a link to the exact place in the thread. If you can, that would mean that, apparently I can't use the search function properly.
Thank you all, and great forum.
First let me say sorry if this is in the wrong thread. Didnt really know where to post it.
So this is my second week or so playing with app dev. I have tried app inventor and a couple other programs to try and help me accomplish what I want to do. But, looks like Eclipse is my tool.
In Eclipse who would I like a button to another string xml file? Basically I created a button that needs to link to a new screen.
Let me say I dont know what I am doing. But, I know how to read and pretty much figure things out. Would this link be like a, a href? Thanks. Example please.
Guess I cant post my code because I dont have 8 posts yet. Forum thinks its a link
Like the title says how can I put a video into apk and let it play after someone opened the app
No one helps me ? I thought this is a forum
It is a forum. What you are asking for though isn't java help, its smali help so you're asking in the wrong forum. I would recommend doing some serious research into the decompilation process of apks. Additionally to me this looks like you are trying to make a spam version of a normal app (won't ever work btw because of the apk signing process) so its not really any wonder why no one has offered any help.

I dont want to make a spam version its for private use
I saw modded apks which have toast frame messages and even a splash screen so I tought it would be possible to add a video too

It is, its just a lot of work and I doubt anyone in this forum would be bothered enough to do it in smali, besides the developers that actually know smali properly enough to do this are very few and far between.

Can you move the thread to proper forum ?
And btw maybe its possible to just make a splash screen but use an animated gif that would be awsome
