A new version of the patcher (v0.6) is available!

Changelog:

• New: Patcher now removes Maps dependent permission signatures from AndroidManifest (Yelp patch)

The original post has been updated with a new downloadlink.

Just tested the new version with yelp and transit app... those 2 lines you said to remove still exist in v.0.6

After some more testing:
1. The line with google maps signature gets removed by the patcher.
2. The C2DM line does not get removed by the patcher. (couldn't we just remove any line with "protectionLevel:signature"? Or get rid of the protectionLevel piece?)
3. Now with your patched version of yelp I don't even get a gps lock with google maps running in the background! (if it makes any difference I'm running maps 6.14.4.2). This may just be my device though, so let's see what everyone else reports.

I tried a patch for Google maps (v7.7) using GMAPS Patcher. Still doesn't allow me to log on.

Using version 0.6, I tried to patch PayPal and received: Error: Decompilation of package com.paypal.android.p2pmobile-48 failed, aborting. I tried with Decompile and without, same error. I noticed from the Cobalt's original post that PayPal was patched successfully. Is there a trick I'm missing?

I used the latest APK from SNAP, version 5.4.2.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: nevermind, it worked after I closed and opened the patcher. Realized this after I got the same error trying to patch Yelp.

I sometimes get that random error as well. It doesn't even get into the decompiling process when I run it in debug mode, so it's not the apk or anything. It's tough to reproduce, so I haven't been able to submit anything of any use to cobalt.

Thanks for reporting back. I did not remove the C2DM line by intention as I was sure It has no effect, but maybe I should retest that

I tried to hunt down that decompiling bug for a while, as I also get it from time to time. I believe that the error occures when there is an open file somewhere in notepad (eg AndroidManifest). The file subsystem then somehow locks the folder and it can not be written.

APKTool has a special behaviour when decompiling files. It first decompile content to user\local\temp folder and then copies the extracted content to the target destination (in our case \tmp). That's why you see the first part decompiling. Then, when trying to copy the files to tmp\folder it fails because the folder seems to be locked.

My advice for now:

1. Close all open files (Manifest, smali) in \tmp folder before trying to decompile new apk's
2. If you get the error, just close the patcher

Dear donators!

I just looked into my paypal account and saw that some of you dropped by and left a few $. This is what I love about the Blackberry Community. You give and people give back.

So thank you so much for supporting my work!

[Cobalt232]

There is a new version of the patcher available (v0.6.1)

Changelog:
- Fix: Reworked cleanup function, the \tmp folder should not lock anymore (resulted in decompilation error of APK's)

The original post has been updated with the new downloadlink.

You can't log into QuizUp, even if you get it patched.

Thank you so much for your work!

I tried using the patcher to get Roamler to work, but have not succeeded so far. The patchers says it has nothing to patch. But an in-app part says that google play services are required. I have JRE 7, and I have the patcher on C:..

This is the apk: Download Roamler,Roamler 1.2.8 Download | 1mobile.com

Not sure what causes the problem. I patched it with 0.6.1 and it worked. You'll find the patched APK file below. Please also install com.google.android.gms.apk on your device. The file is in the \lib folder of the patcher.

Download Roamler patched

Hope it works.

Might this solve the problem with Realtor.com app and RVAHomes app?

Thanks, I'll give it a go tonight

Realtor uses Google Maps API v1 and v2 AND it uses Maps permissions. The patcher removed all dependencies. To run correctly, it requires installation of com.google.android.gms.apk. The file can be found in the \lib folder of the patcher.

Did not try RVAHomes.

So I downloaded the app (and sent a little $ via the donate button ) and ran it against the most recent APK for the Uber (taxi service) app. The patch seemed to work, and the app will now launch on my phone - but it still glitchy. Is it safe to assume that this neat little app of your is only to get the 'maps' portion working on the device? I also copied the 'com.google.android.gms.apk' file out of the 'output' folder and not the 'lib' folder onto my phone and ran it first... It's odd, but when I run the Uber app on my device, I always get an error that the Google Play Service has crashed?

Anyways, keep up the good work fellas...

Why not use the native, Built-For-Blackberry version? It would also let developers know we want and use native apps.

I use uber, and it works quite well. The google play services error shouldn't occur of you installed cobalt's com.google.android.gms.apk. I'd say uninstall google play services, restart, then reinstall it again, and try uber then.

That one gave the map view. Something I used to it with my old android device.
Just downloaded native version. Looks nice. Will use it.

No need to patch Uber - it works perfectly straight from Snap on my Z10 running 10.2.1.2947. :-)

Hmm... I didn't have the same luck with a Q10 or my Z30. Let me try to remove/reinstall the play service and go from there. ?
