| Abstract | Compared to desktop and web applications, mobile applications have so far been developed in an extremely siloed environment. The apps running on our phone are developed by a single entity with operating system protections between sharing of data or code between programs. However, application extensibility is often desired. In the web, a secondary ecosystem flourishes around browser extensions, enabling users to customize the web as they wish. This paper presents BladeDroid, a system enabling user customization of mobile applications, using a novel combination of bytecode rewriting and dynamic class loading. We describe four extensions that we have built to evaluate BladeDroid's usability, robustness, and performance. |
