Hi guys.
Since I’ve decided that I won’t work on any thing Nimbuzz-related anymore, I will tell you how to do this on your own instead.
This is how to disable Nimbuzz advertisements on your Nimbuzz Android client.
Things you will need:1) Basic knowledge of how to copy/paste/rename files and how to “Open with…” some software.
2) Knowing how to extract/compress files with WinRAR or any equivalent software.
3) A text editor like Notepad++
4) Download dex2jar software and extract it to a folder in your PC.
5) Download the installer file of Nimbuzz (.apk)
6) Eyes.
Now, once you have everything mentioned above ready, follow these steps:1) Open the .apk file with WinRAR and extract classes.dex from it
2) Rename
classes.dex to
classes_orig.dex 3) Take
classes_orig.dex file (Copy or cut) to where you have your dex2jar software extracted.
4) Press and hold Shift and right click on any empty space, then select “Open command prompt here”
5) Type the following command in the window that appeared:
- Code:
-
d2j-dex2jar classes_orig.dex -o classes.jar
6) Then type:
- Code:
-
d2j-jar2jasmin classes.jar
7) Switch back to the dex2jar folder and you will find a new folder called
classes-jar2jasmin, go to
- Code:
-
classes-jar2jasmin\com\nimbuzz\core
8) Open ClientConfigurationManager.j file with Notepad++
9) Search for the text
mobileads (Press Ctrl + F and type
mobileads then hit Enter)
10) In the line where it says
ldc “mobileads.”, replace it with
ldc “mobileadx.” 11) SAVE THE FILE AND CLOSE NOTEPAD++
12) Back to the Command Prompt window, type the following command:
- Code:
-
d2j-jasmin2jar classes-jar2jasmin -o classes_edited.jar
13) Then type:
- Code:
-
d2j-asm-verify classes_edited.jar
14) And then:
- Code:
-
d2j-jar2dex classes_edited.jar -o classes.dex
15) Now you have your edited
classes.dex file, take it (Copy/cut) to where your .apk file is.
16) Make a copy of the .apk file
17) Copy the
class.dex file.
18) Open the .apk file with WinRAR again and press Ctrl + V to paste your new
classes.dex file and replace the old one.
19) Take the .apk to the dex2jar folder
20) Switch back to your command prompt and type:
- Code:
-
d2j-apk-sign Nimbuzz_noads.apk
21) And finally, you will have your .apk file ready to be installed on your Android device!
