New Gallery App Replacement *Solved* - Droid Incredible Themes and Apps

PLEASE NOTE: I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS APP, I JUST "TRANSLATED" IT TO ENGLISH
I've been trying to replace 3d gallery and have stumbled upon a great 2d gallery, unfortunately for me it was in Chinese, I read the instructions on the first page of miui translation forum thread and have translated it to English and actually compiled the app without any errors(to my surprise ). but when i replace the app on the phone i still get the original version that opens up(Chinese one).
I spend 2 good hours translating it, and really hate coming up short
can some one tell me what i am doing wrong? I'm attaching the Chinese version and the English version
there are the translation instructions:

UPDATE: A kind member of XDA community has signed the app

Have you tried replacing the .apk in /system/app via root explorer or adb?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

its not a system app. it just a regular apk. eventually i want to replace the 3d galley so this one woudl open up from the camera

i could not even get it to install. wont install normally, and copied to /data/app and it doesnt show up
tried to install with adb and it gave a certificate error
this is because you didnt sign the translated apk
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/
shows you how to do that
if you modify an apk, it must be signed before your phone will use it
ive signed it and its installed, and working, in english
my guess is that you didnt remove the untranslated version before trying your new one, make sure you remove it first
good work btw, great find
also, this isnt aosp is it? i was thinking the icon more resembled miui, which would make sense if it was in chinese

THANK YOU !!!!! nice to see my work didnt go to waste , in the thread it said i can do it without signing it so that what i did.

as far as i know, all apk's must be signed for android to use them (with the exception of framework-res.apk)
also, you should change the thread name to something else and put a signed version on the first thread so others dont get confused

changed. you wouldn't happen to know how to link this app through the camera? so when i click on the gallery from there it would open this app. i assume there is a pointeer somewhere in the camera.apk...

what do i look like? a programmer?
actually, no i have no idea. i would expect if you decompiled Camera.apk you can find it by digging through the code
(use smali/baksmali to accomplish the decompile)
but i am not well versed in programming, so i wouldnt know where to begin

crutoi,
great find! love this gallery. so much easier and faster. better organized. when you find the link to the camera, let us know. until then, i'm a happy camper! Thanks!

First and foremost thank you for translating the application. The application loads our media gallery really fast, it blows 3D gallery out of the water.
Feedback:
-Some of the cataloging is redundant,
-Thumb image quality is not the best,
-The icon could be nicer,
-No Picasa support.
Thanks again.

[APP] Font Changer 4.0.4 [29/09/12]

This app is no longer being updated and may cause issues on newer versions of Android. Use at your own risk!
Description
Font Changer allows you to change the font on your Android device. Some (most likely people from the HTC Desire forum section) may be familiar with an older version which required flashing an update, however these two versions don't require it (check the requirements section for more).
Basically you can put your TTF fonts in /sdcard/.fontchanger/ (location can be changed in the settings) and then you can apply a font once they have been found by the application (inside Font Changer there are more detailed instructions on how to do this). You can also set the fonts individually using the advanced mode. It works just by copying the selected font to the system partition and overwriting the current font. Backup is automatic, although occasionally it breaks resulting in the need to fix the fonts manually or with an update (usually the cause of messing with the fonts alongside with Font Changer).
Font Changer used to only have a paid version for the past few months, but with the new Market changes I have decided to add a free version. While most cancellations happen within a few minutes after purchase, not all do... and 15 minutes is just too short! Plus some people are not in a country where they are allowed to buy paid apps. Anyway, that's my reasoning.
The application should be removed from its settings to restore the default fonts and density. More information can be found on its Market page and inside the application.
Requirements
root
system write access (aka NAND unlock or S-OFF)
busybox
custom recovery (not a requirement per-se, but highly recommended in case something goes wrong)
Reviews
DroidDog
Coming Features
Fix up setting custom website for preview
Set dark/white theme
Rework UI for the font picker
Rework UI for the density changer
Need some icons for the Basic/Advanced tabs
Add more fonts to be replaced in Basic mode
Check font integrity
Shake for a random font
Really thanks for share.
Can't u upload the free .apk here? My camera doesn't work so i cant scan the QRCode. Would be nice
Thanks!

OK, done. Although if your signature is correct and you have a GT540, Font Changer doesn't have support for it yet as I need some information to identify the device (the person with a GT540 who was helping me has gone somewhat quiet and I haven't managed to finish it without his input).

1. There are multiple rooting methods for the GT540, and some of them work with Font Changer and others don't. I'm afraid I don't have any specific information on this. If 1 works, then check out 2.
2. The GT540 uses different fonts than the default Android ones. I know which ones and already have the code in the application to make it work, however all I need is to identify the device for which I require someone with a GT540 willing to help.
Anyway, feel free to give it a try and see what will happen.
Tried right now, works well. Looks **** cause of fail font.
Some informations for you: Got 2.2.1 based on CyanogenMod, Recovery 2.5.0.5.
Yeah. Thank you!

OK, your one works because you have CM which uses default Android fonts
You're welcome.
Version 1.7.1.3 has been released, per-user request.
It is now possible to specify in the settings whether the regular font should be used to replace the clock, or whether the default clock font should be used. Some ROMs make use of the clock font, others don't, so the option may not have an effect for everyone.
Doesn't work for me on rooted GT540 with stock Android 2.1 update. I am willing to help with any testing.
I've ben using this app for a while (paid version) and it works very well.
Seems to work on the HTC Vision /G2/Desire Z. Thanks a lot! (Got the paid version to support development)

Hi there. It doesn't work as in when you set the font it does nothing?
If that's what happens then you could try running the app which I attached in this post and send the report which it generates by GMail, or any other method that works for you. I'm missing identification information for the GT540.

So it works fine on a Galaxy S sister device? When I tested a long time ago on my friend's Galaxy S it would cause freezes and didn't allow for the notification bar to be pulled down...

Thank you, I added those devices to the supported list. A little surprised that they all have full root since they only came out recently. On the Desire we had to wait for a while... >_<
And thanks to all those who bought from the Market to support development, it's greatly appreciated.
Very nice app. Thank you for developing it! Works perfect on HTC Desire
It seems that only ttf files are working, if anybody has a font which is otf for instance you can convert them here http://onlinefontconverter.com/
Hope op don't mind that i posted the link.

Just a second. You are giving me conflicting information. Did it say you don't have system write access OR root? Both will never be shown at the same time, I checked the code twice just now.
EDIT: Never mind, I was able to see that page. I'll get back to you soon hopefully.
it said it doesnt have write access. didnt say anything about root. sorry about that
EDIT: it said it didnt have full root. i must be tired, or something, lol.

[Q] Custom theming applications !!SOLVED!!

Hello everyone,
I recently started working at my own custom theme which will be mainly flat black with white icons and android green highlights. I've shown it to a couple of friends and they really quite like it. I've updated every single image in the Framework-res.apk so it really is a complete revamp.
Now, I also want to edit some of the applications that I installed to match the theming (for example Handcent SMS and Winamp). I managed to pull the apk files from my phone, decompile them, edit the images and rebuilding them. But I can't seem to manage to push them back to my phone with succes because they get "uninstalled" when I push the files back to overwrite the originals (they are removed from the app drawer).
I wonder if anyone of you knows why and if it's solveable, I really like Winamp and Handcent SMS.
Cheers in advance!
Do you resign the app ?? use apk manager ??
I am not that clever to do that stuff, but it sounds like when you mod widget locker and you dont sign the apk file, if i am completely wrong sorry just trying to help

I did not resign the app, I didn't even know such thing excisted. I'm not that smart myself, I'm just a stupid designer knowing how to photoshop really well But other than that I just followed some tutorials.
If you could explain to me how to resign an app that would be of great help. Thanks!
Search for widget locker mods and in that post at the top there is a piece of kit called apk manager, follow the instructions and it will resign your apk and allow it to be used

You'll be the first one to know when the theme is finished. I'm making quick progress now. I'm gonna edit some more apps that I frequently use. Winamp is almost fully customized. I'm not quite sure how to pack everything up into an easy installer for you guys to use. But by that time I will ask for help again, I'm sure there will be loads of people who will teach me how to do that when they see the final product.

Changing certin aspects of themes

Wondering what needs to be done just to change certin aspects of a theme. ex: im using blue steele w/ puzzle lock but I still have the ginger red swype. Id like to switch the keyboard around. Any ideas our suggestions?

Read my guide, pay attention to the "creating a flashable package" part, basically to alter any file/folder on your phone you would simply need to place the file/folder in the appropriate folder structure within that zip, then flash. (This is all done while the package is still in the .apk format, you would need 7zip to open it and do the editing while it's still packaged, you never extract)
It'd be easiest for you to just go back to pick and pack, then flash the puzzle lock - that would get everything else back to stock that isn't themed.
I figured that would be the easiest route but Im feeling froggy and want to do it the hard way.i'm about to start digging into your guide now.

If you can find a swype that has been themed for another phone, you should be able to easily port it to the pnp version with theme porter, then add that APP to my puzzle lock theme and flash. Let me know and I'll include it in the theme.

There's a really cool Swype keyboard in that BlackFroyo theme I'm hoping someone jumps on I tried to just overwrite the .apk and that didn't work out so well for me.

Yea, I tried pulling the widgetlocker .apk from my phone, editing it and pushing it back and it dissappeared from my app drawer, so I'm still learning about those issues.
You guys could port that swype keyboard to pnp (using my guide) and create a package that only flashes that app to your phone... once i'ts ported it could be added to any existing theme's too.

As you know, I know nothing about themeing but when I tried to just overwrite the .apk file it gave me an error saying that the app wasn't designed for my phone (or something like that) and would have limited usability. And then came the onslaught of the FC loop. Would making this a flashable install fix that or is it because the app itself just doesn't work with our phones?

that's why we have to port them to the pnp version first, it just copies all of the .png files to our version (that already works on our phone) then you would be able to replace it through root explorer (or make a flash package) sounds like you were trying to use the .apk from the other phone? Never do that btw

LOL Yeah I learned that lesson. Thank God for nandroid backups. It actually wasn't that bad just couldn't use the Swype keyboard anymore (even after putting our .apk back on). Maybe I'll give your guide a try. It kind of intimidated me the first time I read through it but maybe just pulling a single app will be a good way to start.

Skip reading the part about framework and decompiling. App's are wayyy easier, you should be able to just use theme porter (as long as the folder names within the theme'd version matches what's in pnp's version, should have -v4 i believe so you may have to rename those in the theme version.) Or you could manually move the .png's by opening each one in 7zip side by side.

[MOD REQUEST] SecMMS.apk

Alright well sprints latest OTA has the SecMMS.apk that does not show single pictures as slideshows, but instead shows them normally. Well i tried pulling the apk and using it on the verizon s3 but it didn't work I put in system/app and alas nothing worked. So im requesting that somebody edit it/mod it/whatever needs to be done, to make it work on our S3's
I attached the zip file that has the SecMMS.apk in it as well as the odex file, i would like it to work on deodexed stock roms
and here's the framework-res.apk https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6et6bqelqj0ed8/framework-res.apk

For me it only shows as a slideshow if text is included. Otherwise it just pulls up as a normal pic. Are you sure the sprint mms app behaves differently?

I would assume you have to be rooted since it will most likely have to be pushed to your system apps, i tried pushing it there but it wouldn't work.
As far as the one click root, if you aren't flashing any kind of system img then you should keep your data, but i always assume that ill be losing my data when rooting.

Interestingly I can only save pics that are part of the slideshow presentation by pausing then hitting menu > save attachment. On the regular image view the only option is Set picture as. However, from the message list view I can long press both types (those with text and without) and the option to save attachment is there.

Nope. The framework is needed to decompile the apk and help make it work.

been running it since launch, you need to install the lib files to resolve any force closes
Would you mind elaborating a bit more For us not so advanced users on what we need to do please. I, and I'm sure others would be very appreciative.
I tried it and it's party laggy for me.

This along with side loading the hangout app makes it possible to just about have 4.4 from a ui point of view. I get random battery drain from android os or services but its never terrible and always stops after a reboot. In also running cm. Oh and the search by "OK Google" would always fc on me regardless of using the UK English work around.

Tried it when it just came out. Google Search FC everytime I try to search with voice even after the aformentioned lib fix. Have yet to try with P.A.C. ROM which I flashed just a few days ago.
Also modifies Google Search system wide, so if you use Google Search in Nova or other launchers it would take you to the Google Expereince launcher, which kinda sucks because you get this very noticable lag getting to Search.
Otherwise, its nice, but crashes occasionally, would be sticking to Nova Prime.

Never mind, I feel like a moron I figured out how to get everything to work perfect except for the wallpaper. For all of those wanting search and everything else to work, you need to move the appropriate lib files into the system/lib folder like mentioned above. There is a post on this forum for the nexus 7 I think, that has all the apps, lib files, and font files all for download in zip format. To make the launcher work properly and the apps, you just need to be rooted and more the appropriate lib files over.

exactly, the reason I didn't elaborate the first time is because I saw a thread here already and figured you guys knew. It has been working great...

I keep forgetting about that darn button
Is there any way to use the hangout part only without the launcher? Does it work to just install the apk?
