[MOD]/[HOWTO] Mod HTC Browser to allow 16 windows instead of 4

TomLeeDesire helped me figure out how to tweak an HTC Browser.apk to allow 16 windows instead of 4.
If you're interested in increasing the maximum number of windows, there are four lines in two files within Browser.apk that need to be modified.
I made these changes to the HTC Browser.apk from VaelPak 3.2 RC 1, but it should work on any HTC Browser. 0x10 is 16 in hex, so you can make this value whatever you want. If you get above 25 or so open windows, the browser tends to crash.
com.android.browser.TabControl
.constructor()
Line 52: Change "const/4 v2, 0x4" to "const v2, 0x10"
.canCreateNewTab()
Line 565: Change "const/4 v0, 0x4" to "const v0, 0x10"
.createNewTab()
Line 618: Change "const/4 v1, 0x4" to "const v1, 0x10"
com.android.browser.htc.ui.ImageSlider
.add()
Line 658: Change "const/4 v3, 0x4" to "const v3, 0x10"
Once you know where to look, the changes are pretty easy with APKTool (just use version 1.3.1, since 1.3.2 has a bug and doesn't seem to work correctly).
Here is an HTC Browser.apk with these changes, along with some LowRider menu icons thrown in.
EDIT: This is not an installable apk, because the certificates won't match. You need to have a rooted phone and use ADB to overwrite /system/app/Browser.apk (Make a backup first, of course.)

Wow, thank you so much for this. I have been wondering how this was done for awhile.
Thanks again!

Thank you so much for this.
Thanks again!

Hey, I have tried to install the APK file on my phone but keep getting an error saying "Application not installed". I'm a noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm using the HTC Desire HD

Thanks, very handy

thank you I was searching for this mod a long time.
I have a htc desire hd. when I try to install with estrongs it says not installed.
when I open your apk file in astro it says version 2.2.1 is installed and the version of your apk is 2.2 . its logic that it does not install. is your apk compatible with desire hd?

Do i need to be rooted for this to work? I haven't tried it yet, but it's definitely something that i would find extremely handy.

I just used ADB to overwrite the Browser.apk in my /system/app
I don't know if this will work on a non-rooted phone.
I'll see if I can figure out how to make this an installable app.

It looks like this will only work if you have a rooted phone.
Android won't let you update your current browser with this one, because the certificates won't match once it's modified. HTC would have to resign the app with these changes in order for it to work.
I believe the only way to replace your Browser.apk app is to have a rooted phone and then overwrite the Browser.apk in /system/app.

wow awesome thnx!

You need to use ADB to push the file to /system/app/Browser.apk (after making a backup first).
Installing this as a regular apk won't work, since I can't sign it with the HTC certificate. Android will only upgrade an app if the certificates match.

Ok, cool. At least I know that now. I'll give it a try as soon as I can. Thanks.

Thanks! I do get force close on my DHD thought will try to modify the browser myself.

Thanks for clearing up the will it/won't it work on an unrooted phone. Looks like I'll just have to get on with the rooting.

i tried editing browser.apk like how you suggested, and i can successfully overwrite it. But i dont see the internet browser on my device, i mean it's as if i never installed it..

honestly i have too many tabs already. Is there a way to make them all close when i exit the browser? I don't like opening my browser and seeing maybe 5 tabs from some**** i was looking at 3 days ago.

Did you sign it before you put it back? Also, you should probably clear Dalvik cache and reboot.

[mod] MMS.. No contact limit- no mms convert -and sent time fix

Thank you to
montymintypie
for figuring this out
just posting it in a relevant forum
HOWTO
Got a custom ROM going on and want to do this yourself? Well here's how!
1.Download Apk Manager
2.Get your Mms.apk from /system/app/Mms.apk
3.Get your twframework-res.apk from /system/framework
4.Open up Apk Manager and choose option 22
5.Select Mms.apk as your project
6.Select option 10 (decompile with dependencies)
7.When it asks you for your dependency, drag and drop twframework-res.apk into the window and press enter
8.When that's done, go into apk_manager/projects/Mms.apk
9.Under /res/xml open up mms_config.xml
10.Go to: <int name="recipientLimit">10</int> change this to -1
11.Go to <int name="smsToMmsTextThreshold">4</int> Change this to 100
12.Now open up /smali/com/android/mms/transaction/SmsReceiverService.smali and open it in any text editor.
13.Search for 'time'. There will be one entry at approximately line 523
14.Replace this with: invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/telephony/SmsMessage;->getTimestampMillis()J
15.There will be another at approximately line 2270.
16.Replace this with: invoke-virtual {v0}, Landroid/telephony/gsm/CbMessage;->getTimestampMillis()J
17.Save and close them all and go back to apk manager, option 11 'compile'
18.When you're done, it'll tell you about a 'keep' folder. Go delete mms_config.xml, and in the keep folder also delete resources.arsc and classes.dex
19.Copy your new Mms.apk to your phone! Don't forget to back up your old one in case you make a mistake.

hopefully i can send mms now for the first time from skyrocket for some reason i never had mms work on my phone

Doh
can someone please move this to appropriate
section
probably more dev
but def atleast themes and apps
sorry
thanks

Thanks for your time and work. I like seeing this kinda stuff pop up for our skyrocket

[App] Samsung & LG Ascending Ringtone Remover Version 3.52

Who hates the ascending ringtone feature on Samsung & LG phones? Ascending ringtone is where your ringtone starts at low volume and gets louder the longer it plays. This will remove that feature.
All Galaxy phones seem to use the same command so this should work across the entire line.
Now with support for LG phones
DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
BUILT FOR STOCK ROMS (MAY WORK WITH CUSTOM AND THEMED ROMS BUT NO GUARANTEE)
Requirements
Windows XP or 7 ONLY (will not work in linux wine or other linux environments)
Java must be in your path. Type java in a command prompt. If you see help text you're good to go. If not this App won't work.
Root access of course
Ability to follow instructions and pay attention.
How do I use it?
1. Copy the original Phone.apk from your /system/app to the same folder as MODPhoneAPK.exe (*if your ROM is not deodexed copy the Phone.odex and framework folder also.)
2. Run the App and follow the directions.
3. If you selected to create a flashable zip install through recovery if not then push or copy to /system/app. Do not try to install it.
4. If it didn't work for you then flash Original_PhoneAPK.zip to restore your original back the way it was.
5. If your Phone.apk was ODEXED rename Phone.odex in /system/app
That all, it's pretty automatic.
So easy even a NOOB can do it.

This means you are trying to modify a Phone.apk that is ODEXED. Your Phone.apk "MUST BE DEODEXED".
I have plans to help guide you to deodex Phone.apk if successfully added.

Huge thank you for sharing this.
Used it to fix the annoying ascending ringtone on my KK4 Captivate phone.apk.
Works perfect!

Hey guys!
I'm new here and I've got a Galaxy Note (GT-N7000 / v. 2.3.6 / XXKK5 / Gingerbread XBKK4)
I don't really know much about these devices (I've been a iphone user for 2 years)
So straight to the problem:
I can get the modphoneapk work and it edits the phone.apk file (that I downloaded from another thread, which should have already have the Galaxy Note's ascending volume option deleted)
..so yea that works and my Note is completely stock..
I'm just having trouble to get the mod work..
I've added that modded phone.apk file in my sdhc card and tried to install it with es file explorer and also with androidinstaller.. and after that I rebooted the Note.. but it wont work..
You mentioned something about rooting? at this point I wanna say that I'm deeply sorry for my noobyness
greets

I'm not sure I understand completely so here's what I think you mean.
You can use a previously made MOD and it works fine. If you use the modifier app then it doesn't work? Is that correct?
I would make sure of the following:
1. If your /system/app folder contains Phone.odex then rename it.
2. If you made a flashable zip file then flash it through recovery.
3. You cannot install this apk it has to be pushed, flashed, or copied to /system/app using ES file explorer
NOTE: You cannot use this MOD if your phone is not rooted. Your phone HAS to be rooted to gain access to the /system/app folder
There are guides to help you root your phone in the Galaxy Note section of XDA and don't forget the "Thanks" button is not dangerous if someone has helped you.

Actually I cant get the mod work at all on the phone, but the java/command thingy youve created works on my pc.. but yeah, I think I'll have to check that rooting thing right away and then get back to your mod thanks!

[MOD][HOW-TO][CM10]Receive Apk Files Via Bluetooth

This was when I was modding the status bar of CM10 today. I compiled a new apk but was lazy to connect my usb cable to phone and PC. :silly:
So I thought of transferring the apk by Bluetooth. To my surprise the phone rejected the apk and PC showed Access denied.
When I tried transferring the apk by renaming the extension to .zip, it accepted it.
Now renaming apk to zip everytime is a drag, so I thought why not mod the Bluetooth.apk itself to accept APK files.
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, BACKUP YOUR Bluetooth.apk
So here it goes.
Code:
1. Decompile your Bluetooth.apk
2. Go to Bluetooth.apk\smali\com\android\bluetooth\opp folder
3. Open Constants.smali using Notepad++ (recommended).
4. Find “.method static constructor <clinit>()V” (line no. 19)
5. In that method find “sput-object v0, Lcom/android/bluetooth/opp/Constants;->UNACCEPTABLE_SHARE_OUTBOUND_TYPES:[Ljava/lang/String;”
6. Below that there’s[INDENT].line 201
const/16 v0, 0xb
[/INDENT]7. Change “const/16 v0, 0xb” to “const/16 v0, 0xc”
8. If you go down little futher you’ll find[INDENT]const-string v2, "application/pdf"
aput-object v2, v0, v1
[/INDENT]9. Now add below it:[INDENT]const/16 v1, 0xb
const-string v2, "application/vnd.android.package-archive"
aput-object v2, v0, v1
[/INDENT]10. It should look something like this :
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dMiK9.jpg[/IMG]
11. Save the file and recompile the apk.
12. Just copy the classes.dex from the new apk and replace that in the old apk.
13. Use the old apk and replace it in /data/sys-parts/app/ with permissions rw-r-r.
14. Reboot and enjoy.
Attaching my Bluetooth.apk
Any problems let me know.

mate your guide is good but if you send an apk using a root explorer there will be no problem
use root explorer from market
but your guide is good for devs

Delete.

@ICS_XD:
Actually SENDING apks is NOT a problem. But RECEIVING is. This solution is for receiving apks from other mobiles or PC. Hope you got it. :good:

A very important contribution.

Enable Ripple ink effect with fingers or without S-Pen on Note 3 4.4.2 Kitkat

Hi all, I am a newbie and this thread is about enabling the Ripple ink effect with fingers or without S-pen on Note 3 Kitkat.
My Note 3 details:
Variant: SM-N9005,
ROM: Stock odexed ROM-rooted,
Firmware: N9005XXUGNG1,
Region: BTU.​
Thanks to:
@kenet for Activating Ink effect with fingers (4.3)
Their might be other ways to implement it. but I am writing the steps which I have followed.
You Need:
1. Windows PC.
2. JRE installed.
3. Download aapt.exe here, apktool.jar here, baksmali.jar and smali.jar files here.
So here is the step by step guide on how to do it.
1. copy framework folder (/system/framework) from your Note 3 to the folder (say, C:\apktool\system\framework) in your PC.
2. copy the com.sec.android.visualeffect.odex and com.sec.android.visualeffect.jar from Framework folder to aoktool folder (C:\apktool), now baksmali the com.sec.android.visualeffect.odex present in C:\apktool folder using the command
Code:
[/B][B][COLOR="Red"]java -jar baksmali.jar -d C:\apktool\system\framework -x com.sec.android.visualeffect.odex[/COLOR][/B]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-d path of directory where framework files are placed.​-x target .odex file (in our case it's com.sec.android.visualeffect.odex)​3. once command is completed, you will see a folder named out .
4. Navigate to C:\apktool\out\com\sec\android\visualeffect\rippleink, and open the file RippleInkRenderer$DVFSHandlerForRipple.smali.
5. Open the file and search for const/16 v9, 0x4002
Code:
[/B][B]
const/16 v9, 0x4002
[COLOR="Red"]
if-ne v8, v9, :cond_ca
[/COLOR]
.line 669[/B]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Change the red line to, as shown below.
Code:
[/B][B]
const/16 v9, 0x4002
[COLOR="blue"]
if-ne v9, v9, :cond_ca
[/COLOR]
.line 669
[/B]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. Once changes are done, smali the out folder present in C:\apktool using the command
Code:
[/B][B][COLOR="Red"]java -jar smali.jar -o classes.dex out[/COLOR][/B]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-o the name of newly created .dex file.​out is the folder name.​8. Once you see the classes.dex file in the folder, then push this .dex file into com.sec.android.visualeffect.jar file using the command
Code:
[/B][B][COLOR="Red"]aapt add com.sec.android.visualeffect.jar classes.dex[/COLOR][/B]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9. This is deodexed .jar file, and you can directly push this jar into your phone path /system/framework using RootExplorer and set the permission to rw-r--r--, and delete the com.sec.android.visualeffect.odex file from the framework folder.
Restart the phone, and you should be able to use ink effect with fingers.
10. If you want to create the com.sec.android.visualeffect.odex file from the com.sec.android.visualeffect.jar file then their are few more steps, which involves busybox, but this jar will work fine, please delete or remove the com.sec.android.visualeffect.odex file from the framework folder and keep only com.sec.android.visualeffect.jar, because this jar is deodexed and working fine for me.
P.S: This will not work if you have changed the ro.product.name or ro.product.device in build.prop
Update:
As i have told that I am new here and I don't know how to make an Xposed module.
Can anybody make an Xposed module for this and give credit?

I'm using a Note 3 from T-Mobile on the stock NK3 4.4.2 update.
I've tried this a long time ago and failed, I tried a week ago and failed, any insight as to where I should look to possibly accomplish this awesome task?

Nop. That's jar file.
You first decompile/Backsmali the .odex file and send me "ippleInkRenderer$DVFSHandlerForRipple.smali" file.

Search in RippleInkRenderer.smali and try changing it.
Since I don't have that firmware I can't try.
