Help Needed Urgently!!!
MakeSIS & UnMakesis do has the 'how to' (came with the software). This is the official site of MakeSIS & UnMakeSIS: http://web.singnet.com.sg/~kinston/Phone.htm
However, the .app, .dll or .exe files in a .sis file are compiled binaries, and not modifiable source code. In other words, you can't really modify them in any meaningful way (especially not with any text editors).
Here, follow my guide:
1. Create folder on ur windows:
C:\Symbian\System\Apps
2. Open UnMakeSIS. Hit "Settings". On the "Default destination", choose "Always use this" and point to the "C:\Symbian" ("Always use this: C:\Symbian"😉.
3. Now hit "Open...". Point to the .SIS file that u want to extract. Hit "Extract Files".
4. Open MakeSIS. Hit "Heavy". Browse in "Project path" (yellow icons) "C:\Symbian" (it shoulbe "C:\Symbian" in the box)
5. Give the program name w/o extension .SIS in "Name of the program". Eg. "MyApp".
6. Hit "Take from a file" and point to the .SIS that u want to extract b4.
7. If u know the version and want a popup during installation, fill the "Ver" & "Popup during install". Make ur installation notes there.
8. Hit "Make SIS". Ur modifify created .SIS file is in under "C:\Symbian". Send it to ur phone and try.
9. However, if u want to create a new .SIS file again, u've to clear the C:\Symbian\System\Apps (like the 1st).
10. Good luck
If you're interested in writing your own programs you would do better to investgate Python or OPL.
You won't get anywhere modifying the contents of SIS files (which is also legally dubious).
