Decompiling apps that are out of date


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering, has anyone decompiler an apk file and reverse engineered an app? I have an app that isn't ever updated and hasn't been in years. I've emailed the author in Taiwan with no response for 50 times now. I know the ethics are shady but I really need to change the directory this app saves files to

I have, for the purpose of altering OEM firmware functionality. Should you ask about it here? Not unless it’s open source, in which case you wouldn’t need to do this. Check with xda-developers.

    • You can now customize the email actions toolbar in Outlook for Android and iOS by David Uzondu Microsoft has announced a new feature that will finally allow you to customize the action toolbar in Outlook for Android and iOS. For a long time, the main actions you could take on an email were stuck in a static position in the top-right corner. Deleting, archiving, or marking something as unread meant reaching your thumb all the way up there. Now, that entire bar has been moved to a, perhaps, much more sensible spot at the bottom of the screen. Here's how it works. When you open an email, you will see a new toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This bar holds several actions you can take, like Reply, Delete, and so on. Any commands that cannot fit are tucked away behind a "More options" button. To change the layout, you just tap that button. From there, you can tap More options (...) > Reorder, as shown in the following screenshot: Then, from there, you just drag and drop the actions you want onto the main bar. Once you set it, the layout stays the same across all your accounts. Now, it is not without its quirks. There are a couple of known issues, like the fact that your layout might change depending on your screen size or if you flip your phone horizontally. If your custom actions do not fit, they will get bumped to the overflow menu automatically. You will also see more grayed-out, disabled buttons than before. Microsoft says this is intentional so actions do not disappear from view entirely. This update is currently rolling out to anyone running at least Build 4.2522.0 on Android or Build 4.2522 on iOS.
    • Neat and welcome functionality...
