Adv Bill Splitter suggestions

Hey

Trying your app before going to NYC with friends?

Any chance of storing the split as xls or uploading it to google drive as xls? eg. If one person pays and the others pay back to that person? Or even better combine splits according to who is paying, so that in the end only small amounts need to be paid back to each other? If not, please have a save in a format that is workable in xls / spreadsheet!

any possibility of adding items through a scan OCR of the bill?

Yours

Filip
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
This is a work-in-progress report. I found a cool way to save internal memory: one can delete native libraries from apks after the apks have been installed. When an apk is installed, the native libraries are put in /data/data/*/lib, and if you delete the lib from the apk file in /data/app, everything works fine. Signatures don't seem to matter here.

This is particularly useful for apps most of whose memory usage is the native libraries.

OK, I've only tried it with one app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
Ooops: Normally, the /data/data/app.name/lib directory gets deleted on reboot to match the shorn apk file.

But this can be prevented by setting /data/data/app.name/lib and /data/data/app.name/lib/* to read only (chmod 555).

In case anybody wants to try with this, here's how you can do it. Of course, you need root.

Download my Android commandline build of zip. Install it in /bin and make it executable (chmod 755 /bin/zip). If you don't want to or can't make /bin writeable, install it in /data/local, and then call it explicitly as /data/local/zip

In the shell, do:

su
cd /data/data/app.name

(Where of course "app.name" is the name of the app.) Make sure there is something in the lib/ folder, or you won't save any space. Make the libraries read-only:

chmod 555 lib lib/*

Then delete the libraries from the apk:

cd /data/app
zip -d app.name*.apk lib lib/*

(You can replace the first * with a -1 or -2 or the like suffix, which gets added by the installer.)

And you're done. The apk is now thinner, and the libraries are still usable as they've already been extracted to /data/data/app.name/lib

If your app was moved to SD using Froyo (or higher?), you will need to do something a little more complicated. After you've made the libraries read-only, you'll need to remount the app directory read-write, and then zip:

mount -o rw,remount /mnt/asec/app.name*
cd /mnt/asec/app.name*
zip -d pkg.apk lib lib/*

Run the app, then reboot to see if it still works. If not, uninstall and reinstall the app.

You can save pretty serious amounts of memory this way. The libs in some graphics-intensive apps, like games, are most of the apk. I've seen apks that shrink from about 2mb to about 200k or from about 7mb to about 2mb after this procedure. Particularly bloated are apps that include two different versions of the libraries, for different CPUs.

A happy thing is that you can still move the shorn app to SD (at least with my Force2SD--I haven't tried with the OS's own function).

Interestingly, the uninstaller can still delete the app, despite the procedure, which is nice. I don't yet know what happens when you try to upgrade after this.

It would be easy to write an app that does this, or to integrate it into Force2SD. I am not sure I am going to bother.

For further savings, you can remount your sdcard as exec (I have a utility that does that if anybody is interested), move the library from /data/data/app.name/lib to your sdcard and then link to that. I have a script that automates that procedure. I've done it for a few apps that have large libraries (Angry Birds is a nice example).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
Another update: This actually works very reliably. I've deleted the libraries from a bunch of apks using the above method, and things continue to work just fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnitedOceanic:
is there an app or a script that can do this?

it is really painfull to do this with +100 apps :silly:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashifashraf5:
What happens when I update the app using play store. Is it works ?

And if it is working, does it download more data than usual to get an upgrade?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
When you update, this would need to be done again.

I have no idea if this still works on current Android versions anyway.

[MENTION=2714177]arpruss[/MENTION]

I'm doing this to my system apps currently. I use an zip explorer and just move the lib files needed to system/lib and deletes the lib folders from Apk. There is no problem of clearing of lib files at start up for this thogh. I Set the permissions to read write.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

I like to know if the updates download more data than the normal case. What I mean is , when we updates app by play store it only download a portion of files. I like to know if this is affected by removing lib files
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
If you move the lib files to system/lib, the apps won't upgrade properly.

I have some more observations:

- On 2.3, the /data/data/*/lib directory gets cleared on reboot if the apk has had its libraries deleted. It doesn't matter what the permissions on the libraries are.

- On 4.3 and 4.4, things work great, and you don't need to change permissions at all. (I don't have rooted 4.0-4.2 devices for testing.)

- Many apps from the Amazon Appstore have a security check that makes them fail if the apk is modified.

- Moving the library-shorn apk to SD causes the libraries to disappear. I don't think the permissions matter here (but haven't tested).

It would be nice to have data from rooted 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 devices. I guess I could play around with an emulator.

I am thinking of integrating this functionality into my Force2SD app. I would probably make this functionality available in the free version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benibela:
Anyone has tried this with 4.0 ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
I think I tried something like this with 4.3 or 4.4 and it worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benibela:
Yes, you said that already.

But I need to know it for 4.0.4. My stupid bank has a must-use-app for online banking with 20 MB libs that are only there to prevent it from running on a rooted device. And if it detects a modification, it self-destructs.

Nevermind. I tried it with my own app and it worked. With permission change, did not try without
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastman92:
I have Android 8.1.0, Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus.

I am modifying the files in "lib" directories (such as /data/data/com.application.name/lib/) of few specified applications.

Rarely the files from the "lib" directory get overwritten with the content from APK archive of these applications. The "lib" gets restored from APK archive sometimes (maybe after 2 weeks or so).

It's important for my project to learn about the problem of Android restoring the "lib" directory.

I would like see what part of Android is responsible for this. I want to know which script or executable file in Android is responsible for restoration of "lib" directory.

Hopefully someone out there knows something about it.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Glenn.Seseske:
At the very least I found the png for the screen cap button that I can blank out, but I'd really love to remove the functionality that's running in the background.

Is the ScreenCaptureService.apk the only related file? Anyone try removing this?

(forum won't let me post under development, so I'm posting here)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] PhantomHacker:
Making the PNG transparent will look like the button is gone, but it will still be there when you tap that area. Removing screencaptureservice.apk will cause fcs when you tap the screenshot button, for me anyway.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Glenn.Seseske:
Well I just removed the apk, and I'm not getting any visible fcs when I press it. The button still clicks, but nothing happens.

I guess the next question is...where do I look to try removing the actual button? Presumably a layout file somewere?

(If it isn't already apparent, I'm new at this. Experienced developer, but new to android.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
A a starting point: decompile the systemui.apk, check the smali/com/android/statusbar/tablet: MiniModeAppsPanel.smali et al.

No sources so its reverse engineering task.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] PhantomHacker:
Opps, mispost, sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Glenn.Seseske:
Thanks for the direction. Found the code in smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\tablet, but I think I'm in over my head in these files for the amount of time I have to commit to this. I'll mess with it a bit later today and see where I end up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Glenn.Seseske:
The screen capture references I was looking for are in TabletStatusBar.smali. The easiest thing to do would be to just add a 'return' at the top of the onclick handler for the button (in conjunction with blanking out the png)...but obviously the button would still be there. I'm think getting rid of it cleanly would be over my head, but if anyone else has any interest in picking up from here please post with your findings.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
hmm, i try it.

Getting errors in compiling after i try to change the smali
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] deficitism:
Why remove it? Lets remap it to a custom activity... The same can be done with the TW mini-app bar. Those can all be custom activities...

If you really want to remove the functionality, the quick and dirty would be to simply delete the ScreenCaptureService.apk from your system apps. Then make your icon transparent. Removing the blank space between the multitasking and menu (within apps) buttons may require a tiny bit of smali and/or XML layout tweaks.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magicbear:
Hi there,

Here's my probelem and as i have read around the problem never has been helped out.

Oke after i have flashed my phone from 1.6 to 2.1 i never had any problems. but when i updated my phone from 2.1 using PC Companion to 2.3.3. the phone just died.

It keeps hagging in flash mode and after like 10 sec it vibrates and won't stop until the bat is dead.

What i have done:

I have tried to flashing it using the flash tools with many firmwares nothing worked, then i have used the SEUS repair function but when i use that it only wants to flash it to 2.3.3 and doesn't repair it, unless the repair is only reflashing and without whipe user data then it didn't work.

Oke anyone with ideas? There are like 3 other people with the same problem and i think we all have an X10i

So? The unbrickable phone has a weakness....

I have the same issue, no, its not a battery problem, i have 2 x10i, i have no issue about the ulocked one. But with the x10i locked with Three Network the problem arised.

Is ur x10i unlocked? Coz if not, maybe its just a problem with locked networks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magicbear:

Yes it's a Vodafone NL Locked mob but i changed the firmware to global then it shouldn't be locked any more right???

Wel it won't boot only vibrates
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vodka2oz:
Right, i also debranded my x10i to Global but still its simlocked to Three network.

Lets wait other ppl who have the same problem to confirm if it only happens with locked networks. If so, i think theres no solution ATM, we have to wait our devs to help us out.

[Verizon Droid Charge] triton302:
I purchased the Otterbox Defender last week when it was released, got it in the mail yesterday and I'm disappointed with it. While it seems like a very durable case, the fact of how much more bulk it adds, the crappy holster, and how much of a PITA it is to remove the case from the phone... all negatives. The buttons are very difficult to press and while the built-in screen protector is great, it becomes obsessive if you go through all of the work to put the case back on and find something between the screen and the clear protector.

So, I'm back to the Verizon shell/holster combo I bought when I got the phone. I do like that setup, but I wish it offered full body protection, as I already have a bunch of scratches on the bottom from sitting the phone upright in my car. So I'm back on the market for a new case, but it HAS to have the option for a holster as well, I hate putting phones in my pocket. What other case/holster combos are out on the market for the Charge? What about a nice case that would fit into a separate top-loading holster?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yutzybrian:
I love everything about the Otterbox except the buttons. Like mentioned, wayyyyy too hard to press.

Trident Kraken is another alternative but it is also bulky. Not sure if there are any other shell/holster combos.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Smitty9803:
Have you looked at the seidio surface combo? That offers protection around all edges of the phone and comes with a nice holster.

Press in sequence Optical Trackpad button + Volume Down + Power Button..

The phone vibrates and then reboots fully...

But I couldnt manage to let it enter recovery... Maybe some trick you guys might know may allow it...

[Desire General] magikmichael:

If this is something really important to you then you need to look at other launchers. Go Launcher lets you add/remove pages, and you can change any of them to be the home page very easily.

There's plenty of other launchers though, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brewdude:
I'm running ef02plus. My epic will sometimes go out to lala land and reboot or just become unresponsive. Sometimes the battery will drain within 5-10 minutes. It has always been a little unstable no matter what rom or radio I had installed.

I opened a shell window to find out where the space was being used and found that in /data/data/log (I believe if I remember correctly) there was about 200mb of what appeared to be core dumps from apps and system processes. I removed the files and resolved the problem for now.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] tr.supradeep:
Here i have made a theme resembling Cyanogenmod Cyanbread theme using its icons and other stuffs. I did this for people who love the essence of CYAN.

What all I have done:

1. I have added DSP manager of CM which works perfectly on our galaxy ace.

2. Cyanbread.

3. Removed the SILVER colour(background) of the notification bar with which the dropping down and pushing up animation is A LOT FASTER and responsive.(For those who want it comment in this thread)

4. Added DeskClock for those who don't have it. (will change its parts to cyan soon).

How to:

1. Download the respective attached file which you require.

2. Copy it to your SD card.

3. Boot into recovery (has to be CWM or else your status bar will vanish).

4. Flash this theme CodeRom Defaultand reboot.

5. Reboot back into recovery after a successful boot (with or without errors).

6. Wipe cache partition.

7. Go into 'mounts and storage' and select 'mount /system'.

8. Go to 'install zip from sdcard'. Select 'choose zip from sdcard' and select the zip which i have provided in your respective directories.

9. Reboot.

Known bugs:

1. The slide unlock has a noticable difference in its parts.

2. The expanded menus (if you press 'more' after pressing menu button) have text black.

Note: But these two bugs are rarely a downside of this theme as all the other feature supersede these bugs. Will repair the bugs as soon as i find a debug code.

Which zip to choose:

For Coderom(any version) choose Cyanbread.zip .

For BrazilianFW (i think 2.3.4) download CyanbreadBFW.zip (CREDITS: FMAranda Thanks for the help :) )

Credits: CYANOGENMOD community. fla.sh who motivated me into doing this today itself.

Screenshots will be added tomorrow. :D But the theme is amazing. :)
