Deviant Manager 2​







Since Daneshm90 originally put out his APK manager, editing APKs has been much less of a headache. This tool is a modified/ updated continuation of APK Manager. This tool is not only a great asset to Developers in modifying/adding certain simple ROM features, but also to Themers and those who aspire to begin learning the wonderful world of Android.

Thank you; I want to learn how to theme and all that but been having a hard time getting everything setup properly. This sounds like it might be at least a little easier I'll let you know after testing. Thanks again for all ur time and hard work!!!


Edit: Just did an apk that I wanted to theme for my personal use and even though I need to get more familiar with Gimp ur program worked flawlessly. Many thanks!!!

A common problem associated with Java not being detected is the architecture. You're running windows 8 but which version:
32bit (x86 or X86_32 or i586) or
64bit (X86_64 or AMD64).

If you're running win8 64bit and install the 32bit binary for java, it installs it in the C:\Program Files (x86); whereas the ADT and Deviant Manager look for java in C:\Program Files (hence a "Java is not installed" error).

Because 64bit systems can run 32bit binaries, this is a common mistake that many people make and even though Java32 will work in in win8-64, its not the correct version.

Greetings, all!
We on the Council have been speaking with ptmr3 of late, and real life is pushing him very, very hard right now. As a result, we’ve suggested to him, and he has accepted, that he should probably back off of all of his work on XDA for a bit. We would MUCH rather see him take a break for a while than burn out and just walk away.
As a result, updates will be few and far between for a while, and the Council, as well as the other members of these threads, I am confident will jump in and help any and every way they can. This is the essence of the Jedi spirit.
ptmr3, and we as the Council, appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding in this matter.

With respect and thanks to all,
-GT247 by request of the Jedi Council
