ANDROID: is it possible to replace library file of Android OS through an application(.apk)?

Question

We have made some changes in the "skia" library of Android OS (Froyo) and it works well in emulator. It also worked when we pushed (replaced) the corresponding .so files in to a device.

Now we want to provide this service to the end users. Is it possible to make an application(apk) that people install to perform this task?

If not possible, then what is the best way we can provide the service to others?

Answer 1

如果您创建了一个对一系列用户有用的有用功能，您可以将补丁提交给Google代码审核（您可以在此处阅读如何执行此操作）

Answer 2

我相信这只有在应用程序具有超级用户权限或您自己向用户分发ROM时才有可能。

Answer 3

You cannot, unfortunately, unless

• you are the device manufacturer (or Google)

• you are developing a replacement system image, or target only rooted devices
