[Q] Decompile Touchwiz APK

Hi All,
Has anyone here been able to sucessfully decompile/disassemble the TouchWiz APK and ODEX, for love nor money I can't do it using various tools, or if I can do it, the reassembled file doesn't work.
I'm trying to edit the
Launcher.smali
File to force it to choose screen for as the default screen as opposed to number 1 and, like I mentioned, using one set of tools causes it to fail, another completes but cannot re-compile it properly as it doesn't work once you get it on the phone?
I've attached the files (apk and Odex) in a zip file below.
Any ideas/help would be great.

If anyone is looking for Note Pen Apps. A solution

I don't know the legality of doing this but is it not possible to extract the apk files from a ROM image and side load them onto the phone?

I do't think it's that easy. I have the Jedi build on my phone and have S Memo from an add-on package that the rom creator provided but haven't seen any of the other roms with that type of add-on. Maybe you could use the apps from the stock build if you change the permissions but I don't know how legit that would be or if the original Samsung apps would work properly by side-loading them like that. I think there are some other things that would have to be edited inside the APKs to get them working

touchwiz wallpaper scrolling?

Is wallpaper scrolling possible in our device? Maybe I have to modify an XML file or install a zip? I like this feature very much! why didn't Samsung include it?

I think it should be possible. Fortunately I am using a Galaxy S3 Mini, ....
but at the moment I am spending my time on my new Galaxy Tab3
So if I would try to enable Wallpaper-Scrolling, I would try it this way:
» Copy the SecLauncher2.apk from \system\app\-folder so somewhere (for exaple to your SD-Card)
» Now you should be able to copy it from your device to your computer via USB
» decompile it with apktool and explore the folders.
I'm not quite sure, but I think there is a file called bools.xml inside \res\values\

[PORT] Samsung J2 2016 Theme Store Access

Hi,
All Samsung Galaxy J2 2016 & J2 Pro owners out there, you have choice of only 4 themes to choose from with no theme support (?).
In fact, J2 (2016) series has theme support but has been kept away due to some reasons. I had endlessly searched for theme store access but found it very difficult.
MOST IMPORTANT: This method has worked for me, it may not work for you, do it at your own risk, I am not responsible at all for ALL/ANY of the damage caused to your device / file systems /data etc. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I REPEAT, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Requirement:
1. Rooted J2-6 (Must)
2. Root Explorer or any file manager capable of handling permissions
Finally, I did following:
1. Change build.prop to that of Samsung Galaxy S7
i. Change ro.product.model=SM-G930F from ro.product.model=SM-J210F
2. Copy following S7 apps to /system/priv-app folder:
i. ThemeCenter.apk (first create folder in the same name, please note that it is case sensitive, then copy this file into that folder)
ii. ThemeStore_3xh.apk(first create folder in the same name, please note that it is case sensitive, then copy this file into that folder)
iii. Please note that folder permission must be set to 0755 and apk file inside folder must have permission set to 0644. (Without this it will not install)
iv. Example: (system\priv-app\ThemeCenter\ThemeCenter.apk)
v. For change of permission, you may refer to various discussions available on xda forums
3. Remove Themes.apk (It is basically a theme chooser app and it will not allow theme store) from system/priv-app {Use system app uninstaller to uninstall theme program easily / Beware: You will lose your pre-install theme by doing this !
4. Install the pasted apk manually by tapping install, it may say not installed, but rebooting few times will install
5. Now open Galaxy Apps, Click on Category, you will see SAMSUNG THEMES with brush logo, click on it and theme store will open, tap the add shortcut to home screen.
6. Download and install any theme you want, Enjoy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still I have few issues, developers can look into this:
1. How to merge native theme in launcher with theme store (So stock themes can be applied as well - Not required if full theme support can be ported)
2. When I click on My Themes section in theme store, it force closes. (Solved this by installing deodexed J5 2016 touchwiz launcher)
3. Partial Theme Support - Following items are not themed OR themed partially:
i. Dialler
ii. Contacts
iii. Keyboard
iv. Lock Screen wall paper not applied
v. Animated themes not working
If anybody interested in solving this, kindly post a method, also confirm if framework-res.apk needs to be modified ? (I am not pro at such level)
Thanks.

Sure, You can create flashable zip, also arrange to port stock launcher from S7 since themes can be applied directly from launcher.
Thanks.

Seasons Greetings Everyone! Need help with locating file: ro.product.model=SM-J210F. Would like to really get rolling on these themes as I am painstakingly languid of the ever insipid version of MM's theme. Please, I beg of you... please help!

This is not a file, but you have to use build.prop editor and using find function you need to change the value of your model number to mentioned in my post.
Hope this will help !

Okay, I've installed build.prop editor from the play store. However, the ro.product.model, had no numbers at the end.
It only shows the model of my phone, (SM-N910T). Which of the models do I change it to? Also, I do have a file called: build.prop, in my system folder. Should I change that file to Samsung Galaxy S7?

Just click that name SM-N910T, click edit sign on top right (pen symbol), change the value to that given in my post.
Click save sign. Reboot, Enjoy !
Dont touch build.prop in system folder, build.prop editor will do it for you. Although it is the same file you are editing with editor.
Now your phone is S7 for theme store.
Thanks.

Well, I still have to click on the apk to install, however, after installing system uninstaller, I wasn't able to find: ThemeCenter. If I recall correctly this is the third step before installing themestore... as per your instructions. Not sure whether or not to go ahead and try to install it anyway.
Thanks for all your help...

I believe that your phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and it might not have theme chooser, since method I posted is for J series, you can still continue and install theme center as usual.
You should give it a try. Please follow all steps (which are applicable) and go ahead, it should work.
Please carefully go thorough each step of my post.

Okay, so, I have tried it and everything was going well until I pressed "Samsung Themes". Upon pressing I was then sent to install update, which gave me no success. I got an error me sage (S11) and tells me to try again later... and so I have, but it only leads to the same error message. Could there be an updated version of theme store? Also, I cannot find the file using system uninstaller.

Share the following Screenshots:
1. System/Priv-app folder (Use root explorer or similar app, sort it in the manner which displays themestore and themecenter folders)
2. About Device (this will display mobile model No.)
Most likely there is minor error, which will be fixed, dont worry.

One more thing, dont download the themes right away, click on "More" in top right corner, click "Settings", Click "About Samsung Themes" and update the theme store version (it will automatically, if not, try manually).
Reboot and retry.
Thanks.

Galaxy apps under settings doesn't show about samsung themes. Not sure if that is what you were referring to. And it shows that the app is up to date.

The original model of my phone is: N910T

OnePlus launcher / shelf porting

Can anyone post the oneplus 3 nougat launcher apk and the launcherlayout apk, I want to try to port them to other roms but I do need the apk's themselves, I currently don't have the OnePlus phone (any) so if anyone can post the apps that would be really really helpful.

You can extract any file from a ROM using an unpacker.
Download this.
Then head over to OnePlus's downloads page here and download whichever version of OOS that contains the files you're looking for. Use the unpack tool to extract the entire ROM's directory directly on your PC and simply find the apk as you would on a phone.
