Dude, have you rooted your phone?

If so, just use adb shell then su... then can remount system to rw....

LOL, if you fight me, you will still lost look at my stat I still keep the game for some fun slashing

I always just use USB debugging mode, I think the driver its better than the Sammy portable phone stuff...

If you didn't enable the USB debugging, you phone will be identified as I8150 device in your computer. When you copy/move stuff from this device, Sammy driver will be used. It will alert you if you trying to copy things that it suspect cannot be viewed by phone, sometimes, it will convert stuff for you as well. Trying hard to be smart.

When you enable it, you only see 2 additional storages.

They are actually using different driver. I prefer to use it only as storage.

I dont remember if need to reboot, coz I enabled that long time ago... You need to pull down the top menu, select USB mass storage, "connect" to start using it.

Check out some free game offered by Sammy for this Christmas:

May be only in "free" version It also will auto-start after phone reboot. Crazy... no wonder they want to give it free!

Is it fun to play? I dont have a single racing game in my phone... If fun, I will try strip the permissions out...

emm.. may be i ll skip the game then... racing not really my type of game.. i don't trust any APK outside of Android market. heck, even some app in Android Market cannot be trusted.

Sorry that it cannot be any more easier to understand. Here is my best ability to describe this, if still cannot understand, may be this is not for you. Just mark this as spam.

obviously, you need Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and Java Development Kit (JDK) as well... download the JDK1.6 from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jav...oad-346242.html

(No root is needed)

once done, put your APK into a directory and follow the steps i listed previously to decode it. for example, if you put blood and glory APK into c:\tmp: . Start cmd or a shell:

Step 1:


Step 2:
it will decode the blood and glory APK into its own directory. inside that directory, there is a file called AndroidManifest.xml. you need to open it with notepad, or anything to edit it. Locate and remove the following lines from the file, then save the file.



Step 3:
Once done, you can now repack the APK:
3. Rebuild APK. Go back to your command prompt and type this:

Once done, a new APK will be generated in /gladiator/dist/ This is the new installer that no longer has permissions you stripped. But before you can install it on your phone, you need to sign it with your key.

Step 4:
Sign APK (*important to use jdk1.6 and not 1.7)


Step 5:
For good practice, it is recommended you do byte alignment on your APK as well:

This will generate another APK file called g.apk. This is the APK you need to install to your phone.

Step 6:
If you have not done so, remove your old game first, then, you can copy the g.apk to your phone, or use the Android SDK to install it:

Once done, you will have a a new Blood and Gladiator game in your phone that will not auto-start when phone start.

your build command should be:


where com.glu.gladiator-2 is the directory extract (without .apk)

ya, take this: jdk-6u25-windows-i586.exe

sure

i dont have ANY .thumbnail file in my phone that file mostly generated by your Windows when you connect the phone and browse using Explorer. can safely delete.

LOL. you can reboot your phone, and go to Setting, App, Blood and Glory. See that there is no more "Force Stop". Meaning it's not running! Good job! You can use the same trick to remove any other permission...

ya, can check in the Permission when installing. and can check the Permission in Setting, App as well.

What is the exact error?

Most likely you did not sign the APK. Verify you sign it correctly by:

jarsigner -verify /com.glu.gladiator/dist/com.glu.gladiator.apk

tell me what you get?

Happened after you remove .thumbnails ???

You can generate your key using keytool, or from Eclipse. (Read more here: http://developer.android.com/guide/publish...p-signing.html)

You will still get update notification even after you strip the permission and sign it on your own because the update actually look for package name, i.e: com.glu.gladiator , etc...

However, if you chose to install those update, the permissions of the new update will take place.

Like to play Simcity with Asteroid Defense 2?
