Regarding AbdurazaaqMohammed's WebSite repo

[drogga]

@AbdurazaaqMohammed I will delete this ticket after you read it/reply or edit the GH Pages in https://github.com/AbdurazaaqMohammed/website

The thing I noticed is that in your website repo linked above, you didn't include that site, but there are GH Pages https://github.com/AbdurazaaqMohammed/website/deployments/github-pages in which there are 2 links, the first work, but the second is invalid, is this intentional or you've forgot to remove the second one (mentioning/containing and starting with an alias in a particular site) ?

[AbdurazaaqMohammed]

forgot to remove the second one

Yes thanks for informing me

[drogga]

NP ;)
Were the pages uneditable or you just decided to delete/make private that repo and make another one for the same ?, asking out of curiosity...
Consider linking the actual page in the overview (or however is called here, next to "Personal website"), so users won't have to edit the url of the repo, Copy>Paste, go to pages (deployments/github-pages is inaccessible for "guests") or hoops and loops to access it, unless it's like this on purpose (?)...

@AbdurazaaqMohammed or add and put it in a ReadMe...?

[AbdurazaaqMohammed]

I didn't update it in a long time and I don't think anyone really cares

[drogga]

@AbdurazaaqMohammed The page is heavy because (I guess) the background animated moving thing.

Have you posted anywhere a regex of the useless things that AntiSplit M and supposedly your AXMLEditor can remove, so I can for example use it in other tools ?, I think I saw it in your site previously, but I can't find it now, I will really appreciate if you can put it somewhere easily findable/locatable, so I won't have to digg tru the code of AntiSplit M for it (if it's there and usable 'as is').

PS: The AxmlEditor probably needs some core functionality updates (unless you don't intend to work on it anymore), because I tried to use it on the latest available .apk of Yandex Translator in APKCombo (I'm testing such apps to see if I can find something more usable than Google Translate) and it didn't do a good job, it left empty android: lines and it wasn't able to encode the Manifest, it complained about an attr value or something (I'm not exactly sure, it was in a A.8 x86 live boot, so I didn't bother to capture the toast error with the Toast Source app and distribute the text somewhere), so I had to use another editor and remove them manually 1 by 1 (not that it helped much, the app installed, but it has tamper protections and I think it's just a base, without libs, etc., I thought it was standalone, until I saw the splits related and other junk code).

It should be that one: https://apkcombo.com/yandex-translate/ru.yandex.translate/download/phone-82.6-apk

Edit: While I'm here, I'll use the opportunity to mention that I can use a search bar in AntiSplit M in the splits selector for when there are too many, so I won't have to look for the ones I want to select and aren't specific to the device its running on, but only if you think you can fit in there and have time to do so. TYiA. Please react with any of the GH reactions when and if you read this.

If I decompile AndroidManifest that app and recompile with no changes, it saves with no error but then package is invalid, other people report it to me with other new apps as well but I don't know what the problem is. I think time to give up on the old encoder and try to incorporate REAndroid ARSCLib/APKEditor, it can decode 1 type of obfuscated XML too. Will try and do this and the searchbar soon

[drogga]

aXML & AXMLPrinter were last updated a few weeks ago and the later is now even used in the v6 mod of MT Manager, at least that's what it claims when I decompile in it in commented-out line on top and how I understand it, so I thought that you can address the problems just by updating the core functionality, but if you think the ones by REAndroid are far better, then great.

Can AntiSplit M also have categories along with the search bar in the splits selector (that you'll add), the ones that are in SAI and the splits under each category with interpret naming (also in 1.x) ?, here's a screen I found online from a fork on PS: https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/fR9RGhEF926NI7cSW8VciBk1mfH2VUL3p_EKUl4rVJPTwegQ9RtgX-v2-S9Go17mBptG=w2560-h1440-rw
[One of the things I don't like in SAI is the inability to unselect the ones for the current config, which checkmarks are greyed out]

I've previously imagined it and even suggested to kind of combine AXML Editor, APK Signer & APK Extractor into one universal app like the AntiSplit M (instead of 3/4 diff.), you can even change the name (or not), it's not a bad idea, given that it can technically do those things already and the core functionalities of each are kind of already inside of it, just some tuning is necessary, like to add a few buttons, menus and lift the restriction of not wanting to work with single .apk file, but expects a bundle to be selected. IDT it will complicate it that much, compared to now, all can be modular with completely diff. menus and functions, the merger can still only accept splits, while the others don't necessarily have to. My idea back then was the AntiSplit M to be able to automatically remove/clean the junk from the manifests of standalone APK files too, so I won't have to use an editor at all.
It looks like I imagine tuned-up SAI, renamed to SAMI, with merger, editor and a standalone better signer with schemes from v1 to v4, including v3.1, not just v1 as currently :D

BTW, the site is still heavy, you've removed the animation the other day, it was better I think for a bit and it's now back as it was it seems, Core 2 Duo E8500 is at 90+ % utilization because of it (yeah, it's old I know, but that doesn't stop it form running W11).
https://github.com/AbdurazaaqMohammed/apk-modification - This content is in the site, IDK if you intend to remove that repo in future due to this, but I imagined you can put the regex there somewhere, so I will be able to still access it when I delete this issue ticked, but whatever, I will Copy-Paste it somewhere online where it won't sink with time and will be quickly locatable when needed > oops, already there, you've added it [thanks], but it's cropped when I expand the last (06.11.2024) tile and it can't be scrolled horizontally.

Well I tested the RegEx and it leaves empty lines at the end, the compiler will probably automatically delete them, but I prefer if the replacing with nothing/blank does, can it ?
It turns out that even for standalones Google injects a pairip license activity and a provider of/under it, which will lead to/open the PS app, removing them doesn't, at least for the app I tried, which I don't even remember which one it was, so if you know what I mean - can/shouldn't it be also included in that regex ?

I've played around with Google's Recorder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.recorder [10+] and I can address the signature check and probably even make it work on other than Pixel devices (https://github.com/Xmader/google-recorder - also in the Manifest), the problem is that even purging the Manifest's garbage, it still won't install with the error INSTALL_FAILED_VERIFICATION_FAILURE, which is kind of generic and doesn't tell anything useful, there are instructions, which seem ridiculous at first (haven't tried them yet), but I wonder if this can be addressed in the .apk (AntiSplit-ed bundle, with arm64-v8a in the base.apk)...

Installing Instructions from 2020 I've found online and translated to ENg by the browser:

If anyone has a verification error when installing the new Google Camera

0. Settings -> Security -> Admin apps -> Disable Find My Phone
1. Settings -> Applications -> Google Play Services
2. Data -> Delete data
3. Back, three dots in the corner -> Delete updates
4. Reboot (not necessary but may help)
5. Immediately install 8.1 via APKMirror Installer
6. Don't forget to return the Find My Phone admin panel if necessary

• PS resetting services deletes Google Pay cards

Tested on Pixel 4, 3.

The cursor effect cause most of the lag I think, I liked it but it is really too heavy, I removed it now.

Well I tested the RegEx and it leaves empty lines at the end, the compiler will probably automatically delete them, but I prefer if the replacing with nothing/blank does, can it ?

\s+(?:<[^>]*(?:com\.android\.dynamic\.apk\.fused\.modules|com\.android\.stamp\.source|com\.android\.stamp\.type|com\.android\.vending\.splits|com\.android\.vending\.derived\.apk\.id)[^>]*(?:.*[\n\r\n].*[\n\r\n].*/(?!.*(application|manifest)).*>|.*[\n\r\n].*/(?!.*(application|manifest))>|>)|(?:android:|)isSplitRequired="true"|(?:android:|)(?:splitTypes|requiredSplitTypes)=".*")

The problem is in the encoder, aXML didn't update the encoder and AXMLPrinter is a decoder only, I don't know how the mod is encoding it.

From the beginning (When I first start on AXML Editor) I had the idea to make open source alternative to MT Manager with all features of REAndroid APKEditor + more. I have other things to do right now but am trying to publish first version by December. And I am hoping for contribution from other developers/modders, because it's a very big project

I would have to find an app with the license, I know what you are talking about but can't remember any app like that either.

I don't know anything about that Google Recorder, it might install on my device, I hate installation errors so I have all the validation bypass things enabled in Core Patch

[drogga]

Yes, the cursor typing effect seems to indeed cause most of the lag, but you didn't remove it from the home/index page, only from the other 2, the CPU usage for me is still 90+% and it doesn't drop, unless I close the page, but the lag is indeed reduced where the top typing/cursor effect is removed (from /apk-modification.html & /blog.html).

https://abdurazaaqmohammed.github.io/blog.html - if you expand the last regex tile, you should see that it's trimmed (not Copy friendly). You can/should I guess replace it with the new one above that you've provided ;)

I sincerely wish you very good luck on the massive project for an MT alternative (AiO app) and hope to be even better, because bin's team are greedy and make some questionable decisions and changes, which I don't like, Maximoff (APKTool M) isn't much different and he's stubborn.

I remembered - it's just pairip, which was killed (injected .so's, 1 per each arch.), but the app redirects to PS, unless the 2 I've mentioned are removed from the Manifest, it's still available in a2zapk, search for "kuku fm" (latest mod available there - an app I would probably never use after I've seen it).
com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity
com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider

Output from: https://abdurazaaqmohammed.github.io/packageremovalhelper (seems too long and I still don't understand regex, so I don't know if I should or can I combine the 2 and can't I not put the replacing one, will have to test):

(\n\s+)invoke.*(?:com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider).*><init>\(\)|(?:\n.super.*(?:com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider).*(\n))|(?:(\n\s+)(?:iget-object|sget|iget|sget-object|iget-boolean|sget-boolean|invoke.*\{.*\},\s.*(?:com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider).*(?:\n\n|\n|\n\.line.*\n|\n\n\s+\.line \d+\n)\s+move-result.*)) ([pv]\d+)(, .*(com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider).*|\n)|(\n(((\.method.*(com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider))([\s\S]*?)\.end method)|(\s+\.|\.)annotation.*(com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider)([\s\S]*?)\.end annotation|.*(com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseActivity com.pairip.licensecheck.LicenseContentProvider)))

Search for the above pattern and replace with this:
#$1invoke-direct {p0}, Ljava/lang/Object;-><init>()V#$2.super Ljava/lang/Object;#$3const $4, 0x0$3
^Um, actually that doesn't seems to be it, that's probably only for smali, not xml, I don't know if I can use it or which part of it if it's at all applicable to xml (haven't tested it).

I don't have and can't currently run anything with A.10+ and Root to take advantage Core Patch or any alternative (module) that can bypass the checks, so I will play with the recorder in unrooted systems for now and try to install it, that's the idea anyway - to work for anyone without any particular requirements and install instructions.
