---------Mod could you please lock this thread?
----Taking up another project Still porting dialer so don't worry.

anyone know how to go about using the smali jar file? what's the syntax?

AndroidManifest in readable form http://pastebin.com/f460f3015 used AXMLPrinter2.jar Thanks jashu. Anyone know if i have to edit this? I've looked through it and am going to again. Try to compare this and androidmanifest in the regular phone.apk. Using cyanogen's phone.apk from his cupcake build as a base.

I've given up on this whole idea. Instead, I found that I can make aContacts look and function close enough to HTC Dialer:

are you a programmer? i'm sure that this is very complex, do-able, but very complicated with all of the HTC stuff you have to port over...but the best of luck to you

Basic dialer code, the rotary thing is more annoying than anything, but thought it might help speed up the coding process.

Is that a theme/setup you could share? Looks awesome.
alritewhadeva, what if you do something similar to Stericson, by using the tool that he did (which JF created). It's mentioned in the first post of this thread.

Yup i'm using the same method. Baksmali (disassemble) the .dex file ,making edits and then smali (reassemble) the .dex file. Merging it with the .apk ,signing and installing. This is going to be a long long process as I'm not sure what smali files i have to edit. I also can't do this alone so guys please drop a helping hand. @delta_foxtrot ah i see thanks for that. Will look into it.

i never used the roger dialer etc

im more interested in the hero dialer and contacts....i love the facebook sync options. i think that may be included in the donut 2.0 being released at the end of the summer.

No special theme really, it's all in the app's preferences.
Change the Default View option to "List", check the "Display T9" option to sow the dialer when the app starts, and finally change the theme to "GrayBlack". The dialer's search functionality is very close to that of HTC's: it tries to match by phone number, and by name simultaneously. The only difference is that it doesn't highlight the selected letters in the name like the HTC Dialer does. Minor point if you ask me.

donut 2.0 is not being released at the end of the summer...Think how long it took cupcake 1.5 to be released. I could try the hero dialer but i don't have the necessary files...If someone could get a Phone.apk with classes.dex inside the apk from a hero build I would greatly appreciate it.

I used baksmali and i'm looking at all the different smali files and I'm completely confused lol ... maybe i should stick to Java/C#

Doesnt work like that. I need a classes.dex file. Most the of the apks in hero are optimized with dexopt-wrapper ,creating an .odex file. In the creation of the .odex, it deletes the classes.dex in the apk

[Req] Transparent statusbar for Jellybean

As Moresco.dt has sold his Xperia T i was wondering if there's a Dev who can make a transparent statusbar for the new Jellybean rom. The mod from Moresco.dt is for Ice Cream Sandwich and will (ofcourse) not work on Jellybean.
Hope someone can make this mod.
Thanks in advance !!

Would be interested in it too

anybody can do this? i found a lot of tutorials but no one is working on JB, smali is completely diferent from ics.

Been learning for the past hours and couldnt decompile the systemui fully yet.
Wish to make the status bar and the navigation bar transparent.
Chatted with ticklefish and he said to use his tickle my android program, which i will do when i get home.
in the mean time, it would be great if someone else figures out the xml codes. Im still learning so i wont be able to get it right the first time ><
EDIT: Sorry, I've spent two days learning and trying to figure out this with a bunch of testing, no luck. Sorry guys

Can u send to me your framework-res.apk, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk and SystemUI.apk ?
I will try to mod..
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

I've managed to get this Mod working. I've only just got the Xperia T and I'm struggling with packaging the Mod into a working flashable CWM zip. If someone could help me with that I'd be happy to share the Mod. PM me if you can help..

would be great if peetr__ can combine this with your toggles. and maybe the small navi buttons. I guess the codes are in the same files.

There is specified surface layer for status and navi bar. I'll try to understand it more.
But this is Rimmers work, I am late. We can include it only with his permission.
It's only about PhoneWindowManager.smali, the rest stays the same like on ICS.

PlayStore 5.0.31 decompiled and compiled Play Store files from EMSpilot

PlayStore 5.0.31 decompiled and compiled Play Store files from EMSpilot
Now you can decompile mod theme and compile. You must use APKTOOL RC2.
APKTOOL RC2 Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755243
Enjoy!!
Download Here: PlayStore 5.0.31
Please don't forget to hit thanks!!!!
This fixed Play Store 5.0.31 APK works perfect with APKTOOL RC2 and the proper resources. You do not need to delete anything from values-v21/styles.xml or any other xml. If you are having to do this then you have a problem with your APKTOOL setup or resources!!!
Ok so I see that quit a few people are using the wrong resources aka framework-res.apk. So here is a zip of my entire RC2 setup with the proper framework-res.apk included. Make sure you type at the command prompt: apktool if framework-res.apk. then proceed.
Also make sure you are taking the APK from the dist folder in the zip to decompile.
Download: APKTOOL RC2 Setup
For those of you that are having problems with values-v21/styles.xml. Look for the following lines: There may be more but I am just explaining why you are having problems.
Line 46: <item name="android:findOnPageNextDrawable">@android:drawable/ic_find_next_holo_dark</item>
Line 50: <item name="android:findOnPageNextDrawable">@android:drawable/ic_find_next_holo_dark</item>
Line 159: <item name="android:textEditNewActionPopupShare">@android:drawable/ic_find_next_holo_dark</item>
What we see here is that APKTOOL is looking for the resource in framework-res.apk. All 3 are a drawable png "ic_find_next_holo_dark". If this is not present in the framework-res.apk you used with the "if Command". It won't work.
Please also thank djdarkknight96 for his contribution and help!

Amaign work to take the time to figure out all the issues and how to overcome them and make this available for us simple themers to do something with it..
My hat is tipped off to you sir!

That was fast! Great work EMSpilot. Many, many, are grateful.

No Errors, you need ot use the Apktool RC2, linked in the OP, and this thing has no issue compiling.
Also, make sure you have at least Framework 4.4.2 or above loaded..

Yes it will only work with the proper resources aka framework-res.apk. Here is a link to my entire RC2 Setup with the proper framework-res.apk.
APKTOOL RC2 Setup

[Guide / LP 5.1.1] Decompile and recompile your apk (Windows) (Update 10/09)

1) Use Advanced ApkTool v4.1.0 and install it on your computer,
2) Download apktool v2.0.1 and rename it apktool.jar,
2) Replace the old apktool.jar by the new one in 1-BDfreak,
3) Launch Advanced ApkTool, install the framework, decompile your apk, do your modifications, recompile with sign and zipalign,
4) Open your new apk (with winrar for instance) and replace the META-INF folder and androidmanifest.xml by the ones of your old apk.
That's all

thanks..can you tell me what zipalign means and does? because previously i was just doing recompile and sign and i wasnt getting any problems

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just google it
zipalign is an archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.

Nice guide bro. Btwn signing and zip align is not necessary..

So, I figured I would share something that I made along with the help of another developer friend @dwitherell
You must have apktool setup in the Windows path to run from anywhere
How it works:
unzip files
copy the scripts folder to the root of c:\
double click compile.reg and decompile.reg, this will add the entries to the registry
You can decompile and compile up to 10 at once. Not sure why its limited to 10.
This is tested working on Windows 10. Please let me know if it works for other versions as I will add that to the description.
Please do NOT ask how to setup apktool, you need to already know that much.
whats included in the zip...
compile.reg
decompile.reg
Maximum level of decompiling raised (V2)
scripts folder containing both .bat files
Download it here
Download V2 with raised level of decompiling here
Now to use it:
On an apk, right click and you will see a new option called Decompile. Select that, then it will decompile it in the folder you currently are
On an already decompiled apk folder, right click and Compile option will appear. Select that and it will compile the apk

Awesome I'll have to try this later ?

Great thank you!

Amazing work! Can I recompile an apk which hasnt been decompiled with this method? I've the folder so I can recompile?

I got it set up and running last night, works great! Makes things easier and faster. Just make sure you have apktool up and running correctly first.

DOWNLOADING for further test.. i'll report back later
thanks..

No, it has to be decompiled to recompile it again.

What is the newest version of APKtool? I found 2.2.2 on the site, but it seems to have issues with the Nougat files for my LG V20.
I've used it on Windows 10 and Ubuntu, same results.

Try that one. It says dirty, but that hasn't affected anything. I got that from somewhere when the v20 first came out.
And its what i am using for my v20 work. So i know that one will work.

Thanks! Have you done anything with SystemUI? I ran into issues after modifying it for 3Minit support.

[*]You can decompile and compile up to 10 at once. Not sure why its limited to 10.

Good find. Ill try that and see what happens.
According to the link it should be 15 not 10. I'm not at my pc now to test it.
But it says if you change it to 16, that's Microsoft's unlimited amount.
Maybe i can incorporate that into my registry mods.

Hi all, if this can decompile and re compile, can i change or modify a camera app to support 1440x2560 for lg g3 ? It currently only display well in 1080x1920, so i have to downgrade my display setting. Can someone be kind enough to direct me to which files or folder to begin with and do i have to create or modify some xml code ? Thanks

You're going to have to search for some camera mods. This can decompile the apk sure. But I've never edited the camera.

Thanks, nice tool.

Would you mind taking a look at these decompiled SystemUI APKs? I can compile the US_LG one fine, and also the TMO one. But the ATT one tells me there's missing resources, but all the edits made and files added are identical.
