Thanks for the answer, i was wondering if you had any links on how this could be done. that is, how do i access the resources of another apk? also i found some articles talking about opening the apk, changing data and then closing it again (i am guessing this can only be done if you resign the apk) here are a few of those links: [android-developers] Re: Share component as APK fi: msg#02111 AndroidDevelopers<http://osdir.com/ml/AndroidDevelopers/2009-02/msg02111.html> Bypassing Android's "Resources"<http://journal.dedasys.com/2008/03/09/bypassing-androids-resources> Thanks,
