[Release]XapSpyAnalysis - a graphical tool for runtime analysis

Hi XDA developers!
Today I present you my first open source software called XapSpyAnalysis. You can download a compiled version and the sourcecode at xapspyanalysis.codeplex.com. It is an extension to Behrang Fouladis excellent XapSpy tool.
First, you need to use XapSpy. You need to start XapSpy and select a XAP package you want to analyse. It will be unpacked, stripped from its licence information, patched, signed and repacked. The next step is to launch the Emulator. This is automatically done from XapSpy. After it is booted, the application will get deployed to the emulator. After this is completed, XapSpy will inform you, that you can run the Monitor from inside XapSpy. This is where XDEMonitor kicks in. It will log all method calls and its variables it can get from the emulator log window. When you are finished, you can stop the recording and save the file to your harddisk.
This file can be loaded into XapSpyAnalysis. It will parse the file and display its raw content in the first tab. You can now switch between different views. You can display a table that contains all method calls with their variables, the DLL file from where the method call originates and its time. The next tab lists all method names and their number of calls. The next tab lists statistic values like how many method calls were registered and how many of them were unique method calls.
The final tab displays a graphical analyis of the method calls. The x axis displays the point of time, when the method was called. The y axis displays the number of method that was called. This is an unfortunate restriction from the used graphic framework. You can find a legend on the right side of the diagram. It maps the numbers to method names. But you can also point your mouse cursor on any of the data points in the diagram. A tooltip will be availabe that shows you the corresponding method name.
Now some screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This screenshot shows an application, that crashes three times. You can see this from the data points starting with method 0 (InitializeComponent) and method 22 (Application_UnhandledException).
This screenshot shows an application that is properly executed and closed. It starts with method 0 (InitializeComponent) and calls a camera chooser (which is why method 0 is again called). This is a good example to see how Windows Phone 7 Multitasking and tombstoning works, because you can see when the methods Application_Deactivated and Application_Activated are used.
I hope this tool might be useful for some of you, especially when you want to understand how an application works. The apps can be even obfuscated. You will than only see method names like A, B, C etc. You can even check what other applications do, when they crash and that without having the source code.
If you have any ideas or find some bugs (and there will be bugs ) you can write me here on XDA or at Codeplex bugtracker. Already existing bugs and limitations can be found in the codeplex documentation.
Cheers,
Markus

Fascinating! I'll have to check this out against my xaps

I tried to follow the instructions but they were a bit confusing. The program crashes every time I select a XAP

@snickler: I am looking forward to your feedback
@MJCS: Ok, where do you get stuck? I still need to write a better documentation I guess
You downloaded Behrangs XapSpy and replaced the XDEmonitor files with the files from my version? Do you use the WP7 or WP7.5 SDK? There is an important difference regarding the naming of the emulator. In WP7 it is called Windows Phone 7 Emulator, while in WP7.5 it is just Windows Phone Emulator.

I am using 7.5
**
Ahhh I just noticed the 7.1 binaries. Now it works. Thank you!!!

Glad to hear I am really looking forward to your feedback!

[new Tutorial ] How to Copy FIles between Android to Windows Phone 10 or vice-versa

Android 4.4 Running in a emulator in windows phone 10512 build
so i made shortcuts to easily transfer data between Android File system to Windows Phone or vice versa
android 4.4 running in windows phone had following restrictions
Restrictions:
1)Bluetooth is not working in android apps
2)WiFi ,cellular data works only net using ,no hotspot or internet sharing
3)downloading from browsers failed ,so no direct downloads
4)if you copy files from WP to android, Sometimes reboot required in order to identified by apps
5)maximum android app in taskview will be limited to 7 or 8 ,it will increase depend upon app state and running
5)if try installing Gpps and inter-op unlock sometimes it will leads to slow phone charging for 1% it takes 10 minutes and Apps become slow in performances
all images are in Attachment read it and follow images for better understand
Remember that :-
**** in order to use shortcuts you need to deploy at-least one apk then only shortcuts will open (do remember after Reset) ****
**********This Doesn't Require any root and gapp installations,even with out these it work better**********
But if you root you can deploy unlimited Apks ,you can download vcFan s Root tool download link and Tutorialhere

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you want to install multiple apks from a folder from command-line ,place adb.exe,wconnect.exe ...etc (tools link)+all your apks in C:\Apps ,
open Admin command prompt,in command prompt type "cd/"
it will come to C:\ then type "cd APPS" ,it will become C:\Apps then
type "" wconnect.exe usb "" ,
connectphone through usb pair with code
use following command
Code:
for %f in (C:\APPS\*.apk) do adb install "%f"
you can download all three shortcuts here : All shortcuts Extract it open folder copy all three shortcuts to phone memory root
*********** For copy anything from android to wp and vice versa ,place two(first two Attachments) shortcuts at phone root
and
place wp shortcut at Android Filesystem for faster copying *************
These shortcuts doesn't open destination in ""copying path"" ,you need to click on just before folder(or available folder names ) or back button(depends on need of copying) on top bar of explorer to continue copying path .
All Android Folders resides in C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow :- AOW-shortcut
All Andoid app Data/Downloads/File Sytem are at C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\mnt\shell\emulated\0 :--Android-FileSystem-shortcut
All windows phone File system at C:\Data\Users\public :-- WP_System-Root-shortcut
Both zip files contains a folder there you can find shortcuts, extract them in PC/Mobile using unzip software ,place them in file explorer start page
these shortcuts works from memory card too.these not work when you copy and moving through ,you need to click on before folder on top of explorer to continue
1)How to copy Android App Downloaded files(media files) to our wp file systems :-
Go to Android-file system
Images saved in android apps will be saved to DCIM folder but downloaded files saving depend upon app. for example
I just copy my face book saved images to our picture (wp) folder,
***Copying android to wp easier because in file explorer always had phone and sdcard icons on left adjacent bar ***
just directly click on Phone/SDcard icons on left vertical bar in File Explorer for faster pasting files see images below
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if you select copy from android folders just directly click on Phone/SDcard icons on left vertical bar in File Explorer for faster pasting files see images below
If you downloaded through other apps /download managers
search using magnifier button in our file explorer
Like for images *.jpg
For videos *.mp4 ..etc
You can Game files patches too,
Copying Files From Windows Phone to Android :-
place files that you want copy files to phone Documents folder use Start-copy_WPDocuments.zip to start copy
Here little bit difficulty because you need to go to main OS(c ) folder and there you need start copying
First Download this shortcut Download extract-WP-system_Root.zip and extract shortcut file to Phone memory root.
open the the shortcut ,it will go to pictures folder It will goes to pictures folder then on top click on public then normal file system will appear
For example if you want to move photos from cameraroll
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copy files then click on pictures folder on top of explorer, then Again click on Users(important step)
Then click on DefApps
Then click \APPDATA like wise \Local\Aow\mnt\shell\emulated\0
Here if you are saving images save to DCIM folder further we use to share in different apps
click tick mark to copy
Like this you can move files between Windows Phone to Android or vice versa
check below images for better understand
APP Details :-
if you want to play videos in Android app ÄLLplayer working fine and sometimes require reboot to load media files in player ,if you download you-tube videos it search for subtitles so rename it to avoid subtitles searching Linksee Allplayer in action on wp in below images
Facebook 43 and messengers working super fast
Download links :-
ES File Explorer 4.01 beta : link
AllPlayer:- link
if you are using Droid4x deploy controller apk here and use as remote for pc gaming if you are connected on same network : link

actually Total Aow is not a public folder so we can't access through any shortcuts.when you first open phone memory all are under public/ folder ,so all apps can access it.but we can open Aow folder because all android apps need to access through file explorer to save their app data.only solution is step by step copy-path by clicking just before folder on the top of file explorer while copying wp <==> android FS

}
Current issues​Apps can't request root because of limit of project astoria. I'm working on it.
Procedure​Perform an Hard reset first.
After settings up, deploy Root Tool.
Go to Lumia Registry Editor, click on navbar > templates and then select all.
Close the app and go to settings > Update and security > For developers.
Enable developer mode and click on Discovery. It should show to you the pin.
Download Astoria Tools.rar
Extract it.
Open that extracted folder.
You should see wconnect and so on.
On the "void" area, make SHIFT + Right click, and then click to "Open Command prompts here".
Write wconnect usb and write the pin.
After this, download AOW shortcut.7z in the attachment, extract it, copy that in your phone, example "Phone\Documents"
Now, go to your phone and open File Explorer. Open Documents and click on Aow shortcut
Go to RootFS directory and delete the file init.
Warning, there are 2 files, you need to delete "init.rc", it has about 20-19 KB.
Restart now your phone.
Keep it plugged on computer and wait about 5 minutes. it should you show "Windows Phone" device connection.
Open it and go to: Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\RootFS
Download from Astoria folder link, the latest Rootkit & Gapps version.
Extract it.
Copy ALL Files to the phone (Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\RootFS).
It ask you if you want to replace/merge files. Say Yes.
Press yes if it show this to you:
After you finished you need to set MTP to the standard path.
Download CustomPFD and deploy it.
Open that app.
Navigate to TWEAKS PAGE and click to General tweaks.
Navigate to UTILITIES: check FULL FS ACCESS and uncheck again.
Restart your phone.
Download Superuser.rar and extract it on Astoria tools folder.
After boot, connect to your pc and install superuser.apk (adb install superuser.apk)
After installation, you can launch the command "adb shell" and as you can see you are a root user
I'm really destroyed but at the same time happy
THANKS​djamol and ngame for his Interop Unlock method/app.
Marocco2 for his help.
snickler for his help.
Pasqui industry for making CustomPFD.
(I forgot someone?)
And all member of XDA and the world itself
Download​
Astoria Folder (Astoria Tools - AOW shortcut - Rootkit & gapps): http://astoriafolder.adeltax.com (Redirect to mediafire)
Attached some files because of problem with mediafire (stupid block)
-- EDIT --
If you have problem with installing APK after root, go to your phone and delete packageinstaller.odex using Aow shortcut and going to RootFS > System > app folder (The lowest size, approx 153 KB)

GAPPS Section​
Not yet, still working on it.

Here will be my "research"

Changelog:
v0.72
First version.

I will make GUI Installer/Package manager or something like this.

You are a monster, on fire!

\o/.

U are my hero o/

Happy rooting

Ah so you actually have to delete the init.rc files and wait for them to reproduce? That's why! Awesome job. I can't wait to test this out @ADeltaX

Not yet. For now it's very hard to resolve an "issue".

@ADeltaX, have you tried Insecure root or insecure su binary? The su binary that doesn't rely on a root management app like SuperSU? Because we can get direct root access on an app instantly if it requests for root with that...

Can we get a custom android with root now?

Nope, Sincerely I never heard about insecure SU binary.
The SU version is a modded one, because if I use the SuperSU version, on invoking SU it say "segmentation fault" --> mean something doesn't work like shared object (library aka .so).

Someone can compile strace binary for armeabi/armeabi-v7a?
At this time Virtual Box doesn't want to start (I have Linux Mint in VM with AOSP source).

Some Chinese tablets I fix had insecure su... How did I know? When I adb shell it's already # . Or those only work with adb and not apps requiring su permission?

With the release of Android Wear 2.0 beta 3, Google changed the way Wear apps are installed on devices.
So I designed this simple tool to extract the wear compatible apk from already build APK's and install it to wear device via adb.
So what this does is unpack full apk to temp directory on windows and sideload it via adb to the device.
Well is not much, but I felt a tool like this will make things easier to install old Android Wear 2.0 Beta2 and lower, apps to Beta 3 and above devices.
Credits:
7-zip (Igor Pavlov)
adb (Google I guess)
Changelog:
1.0.0.0 - initial release
1.0.0.1 - fixed issue extracting for APK's that have long names
1.0.0.2 - fixed custom apk install (Google Maps, Google Fit, etc)
1.0.0.3 - fixed installing upgrade APK (update app that is installed)
1.0.0.4 - embedded 7-zip and adb
- compressed resources to minimize exe file
- cleanup junk files when installer closes (housekeeping)
- cleanup code
1.0.0.5 - tried fixing adb install command in some cases
1.0.0.6 - change adb interface handler for better compatibility
1.0.0.7 - added option to choose adb device to install APK
1.0.0.8 - added command logger
1.0.0.9 - fixed x86 compatibility
1.1.0.0 - added batch mode (just point to a folder full of APK files)
- code cleanup
1.1.0.1 - fixed batch mode when no APK files are detected in folder

Great, but please, can you tell me how can I get .apk files?

Apkmirror
Google
Or I use Solid Explorer (navigate to Collections - Applications - User apps and copy app to sdcard then copy to PC to use it)

Thank you - I have .apk files now, but I can not run your Installer - "System Windows do not have access to device or file ... " ???

you can use external download site like APK Mirror or just Google it, but you can also download the APK from your phone to PC
I personally use the second method
so I use Solid Explorer, navigate to Collections -> Applications -> User apps
here I select all apps that are related to watch (ex: all watch faces, Google Maps, etc) and copy to SD card (you can use internal memory)
from there I move the APK files to PC and use the installer
hope it helps

--++INTRODUCTION++--​
Users can enjoy enhanced performance for RAM-intensive games or photo and video editing mobile applications, and a smoother experience while running multiple mobile applications simultaneously thanks to virtual RAM Expansion.
Silently, the Korean tech giant has introduced the virtual RAM extension functionality, which brings up to 4GB of additional space to the smartphone. To be noted, the Galaxy A52s received Samsung RAM Plus feature along with a new firmware update, which makes RAM expansion possible. Makers are now extending it through software updates.
We had wondered at the time if RAM Plus would come to more Galaxy devices, and it looks like it will. RAM Plus was included in a software update for the Galaxy A52 5G recently, and while we thought it would only be available on the company’s mid-range and budget phones, that’s not the case. We can enable this feature now on this new bike device Samsung galaxy F62
After following this tutorial you can check if RAM Plus is available on your Galaxy device by opening the Settings app, going into the Battery and device care submenu, and tapping Memory.
REQUIREMENTS:​To Enable WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS you will need a pc or if you are rooted you can follow root method .​For windows users = Working ADB and Usb Debugging Enabled.
For Rooted Users = Terminal Emulator (available in Google play store for free)
SetEdit (Settings Database Editor) - IMPORTANT APP (APP SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED AFTER MODDING)​
INSTRUCTIONS (ROOTED METHOD)​First steps you need to download and open the SetEdit Database editor app and open it.​Now as default it is “GLOBAL TABLE” and tap +ADD SETTINGS and you can see it is asking for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permissions.
Now Download any Terminal Emulator and grant it necessary root permissions when asked.
*TYPE “SU” IN TERMINAL EMULATOR TO GRANT ROOT PERMISSIONS.
Copy the code below and paste it into terminal emulator to give it WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permissions.
Code:
pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
After applying this code open back the SetEdit App and now you can see it won’t ask for WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS Permissions again.
Now tap the +Add New Setting button and name the setting as “ram_expand_size” and tap save changes and next it will show SETTINGS_VALUE remove this name and put this decimal “4096” now tap save changes that’s it. close the app and now by opening the Settings app, going into the Battery and device care submenu, and tapping Memory. ​
INSTRUCTIONS (WINDOWS METHOD “ADB")​1. Enable developer mode: go to android settings => about phone and look for the build number option. Touch it multiple times until developer mode is enabled.​2. Enable USB debugging: go to android settings => developer options and look for USB debugging and enable it​3. Install adb on your computer: check out this for a quick way to do this. At the bottom of the link you’ll find links for adb downloads for each system. Download it and extract it to “C:\adb”​4. Connect device with computer: connect your device with your computer and look at your phone. A prompt may show up asking you to allow debugging by your computer. Accept this.​5. Open command prompt: go to the fodler where you have extracted adb to and open your command prompt from within this folder. Simply open your command (press windows key, type cmd and press enter) and go to the folder where you have extracted adb to like following:​
Code:
cd C:\adb
6. Grant permission: Insert following command in the command prompt:​
Code:
adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
​Now tap the +Add New Setting button and name the setting as “ram_expand_size” and tap save changes and next it will show SETTINGS_VALUE remove this name and put this decimal “4096” now tap save changes that’s it. close the app and now by opening the Settings app, going into the Battery and device care submenu, and tapping Memory. ​​That’s it now you got the new Samsung Ram Plus Feature and don’t uninstall the SETEDIT App if u uninstall the app it will remove the ram expand string.​

I did everything as per your non rooted instructions. I know to use adb well. No errors occurred. The set edit app also shows my new setting added in the list but the memory still shows 8gb.
Is there anyone else who has managed to do this without root?

I did everything as per your non rooted instructions. I know to use adb well. No errors occurred. The set edit app also shows my new setting added in the list but the memory still shows 8gb.

It's virtual ram and DOSEN’T show up in actual ram. So your ram will be as like manufacturer but virtual ram is used when actual ram is filled

Hi RC, thank you so much for the info, it worked well.

I did this but not sure if its working or not. Any way to confirm this?
Btw cmd prompt gave me "adb.exe: no devices/emulators found" messages after writing down the secure setting string permission

rarely the extra ram plus is used btw. so the ramplus is only used when your ram gets filled up. you can download app called "Ram Fill Memory" and give it a try. or u can try apps like ram truth for ramplus usge
