Deleted member 1198227 · Jun 2, 2014

I was using this in 4.2.2 Now i use kitkat, lg g2 and when i change something, it seems to work, but nothing changes actually..
Does the app still work in kitkat? If no, any solution / similar app working in kitkat?
Thanks,

It works for me on kk I usually let it build the apk but instead of letting ninjas overwrite I hit no then goto my sdcard copy paste set permissions and reboot

So I recently released a new app for theming and modifying apks and jars right from the phone, this app is called NinjaMorph.

Here I am just going to explain how to use NinjaMorph as per request from those that have the app.

NinjaMorph was made so that we could more easily make changes to the system apks and jar files from our phones without needing to apply a packaged theme or hook our phones up to the computer.

In order to use NinjaMorph you will need Busybox installed, cp properly symlinked, and at least 20mb of space of your SD card.

When you first open the app you will see three buttons at the bottom.

The first is "New Project", which is the one your going to start with.

Select "New Project" and navigate to an apk or .jar file of your choice, excluding apps that need to be signed like Market apps.

A good example would be for you to go to "System" > "framework" > "framework-res.apk"

The app will then extract the contents of the apk, as well as making a backup of it on your sdcard "/sdcard/AndroidThemes/backup/"

After its done it will ask you to pick a file to change, navigate to "res" > then a drawable folder with images in it.

Once there you should see all the images there in that folder, select one and it will ask you to pick one to replace it with, NinjaMorph will rename the file you pick to replace it to the appropriate name.

After that just keep changing things until you've done everything you'd like to do.

If you have an existing project you can use the "existing Project" button to continue where you left off.

If your done with your project and you want to apply the changes, Choose the "Finish Project" button and select which project you want to finish, NinjaMorph will do its thing and thats it.

Note that after making some changes you may need to reboot to see the changes made.

Anymore questions, ask away.

what an incredible app.thnx sir for your great project.loving it so far.easy to theme now.

App hasn't been updated or supported in years. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with 4.4.X or newer. I've emailed the developer a couple times and had no response. I'd recommend getting apk multitool for PC and learning how to use that. Too bad though. Was a great application.

Standard notifications are in systemui/res and framework/res or twframework for Samsung devces for most system notifications. If you're looking at a 3rd party app it'll be hard to do with ninjamorph because they're data/app versus system app.

Not working for me...

Ninjamorph just doesn't work anymore.

You're not going to believe this, but I found the source of my error.
It's listed in the strings.xml under:

Code:

<string name="letsnotloop">Some Files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system.</string>

Which is only referenced once:

Code:

stericson.ninjamorph.free/java/stericson/ninjamorph/free/utilities/Utils.java

public class Utils {
...
  private Handler myHandler = new Handler() {
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
      switch (msg.what) {
      ...
        case R.styleable.com_admob_android_ads_AdView_refreshInterval /*4*/:
          Utils.this.ourMessages(Utils.this.ourActivity, Utils.this.ourActivity.getString(R.string.letsnotloop), false, true);
          ...

Trying to rummage through stericson.ninjamorph.free/java/com/admob/android/ads felt too much like I had dug my way to the devil's back door, so that's as far as I got.
Now, what can I do with this information?
I don't have enough brownie points to suggest he release the pro version for free. (Even though neither has been updated in 5-6 years.)

I think AdMob is Google's crap, right?

I have the same issue. I guess it's most likely related to systemless root and/or systemless BusyBox, quite popular these days on devices running Android 6.0+. Ninjamorph, either Free or Pro, seems to fail mounting system RW. Although Free prompts it can't find su and Pro says it can't mount system RW. Since Ninjamorph has not been updated for years, this is not surprising. SuperSu logs show both not going beyond the mount RW process. Mounting system RW with ES file explorer has no effect. So I guess it's a matter to find a way for Ninjamorph to be able to either detect su or mount system RW. Or both...
