[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.

[HOWTO] Disable Increasing Ringtone

I found a solution to disable increasing ringtone:
I attached modified Phone.apk (from deodexed JPM - Android 2.2). Download it and skip tutorial to the 9 step.
0. Download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
1. Get your Phone.apk (/system/app/Phone.apk) and copy it to apk_manager\place-apk-here-for-modding.
2. Get twframework-res.apk (system/framework/twframework-res.apk) and copy it to apk_manager\place-apk-here-for-modding.
3. Open Apk Manager running Script.bat inside apk_manager folder.
4. Choose option 22 and select the number corresponding to Phone.apk.
4.5. Choose option 19 (compression level) and select 7 (maybe works with 9, i just tried with 7 and worked).
5. Choose option 10 and when asked drag twframework-res.apk to it.
3. Open folder with Phone source (<Apk Manager folder>\projects\Phone.apk\smali\com\android\phone ).
4. Open file Ringer$1.smali with your favourite text editor.
5. Find lines (2 lines) that reads:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v1, v5, v2, v4}, Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V
and
Code:
invoke-virtual {v1, v5, v3, v4}, Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V
6. Delete this lines, save the file.
7. Go back to Apk Manager and choose option 11, when asked if a system apk choose "yes", then when asked if u want to put aditional files say "yes".
8. When "Press any key to continue . . ." appears go to apk_manager\keep\ and remove classes.dex (this is the compiled modified data or something ), then press Enter to finish.

Click to collapse
9. Put the phone into Flight mode.
10. Push Phone.apk into /system/app folder
10.5 Turn Flight mode off and/or reboot the phone to avoid FCs.
11. Enjoy constant-volume ringtones.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you get a "force close" Unzip (do not decompile!) from modified Phone.apk file "classes.dex".
Next unzip Stock, deodexed Phone.apk, and replace "classes.dex" with file with same name from modified file and zip it. Then go to 9 step of this tutorial.

Thanks to Kyrillos13 for editing Ringer$1.smali and recompile.

What kind of issues? I had also problems with apktool, but then i found out that i have to download both, the install and the apktool itself... hope that helps.

I am trying
will post results soon!

have a try

anybody tryed already? i will find time in 5 hours or so...

I tried and... done It is working.

Yeah Of Course... Here it is

Don't forget to disable the phone call sounds.
Configuration -> Call Settings -> All Calls -> Call Status Tones.
Uncheck them all. If you don't disable the sounds, your calls will be dropped (can't receive and also cant's make calls).
Hope it helps.

If someone know How to Fix that may feel free to post it here.
Wipe /data don't fix that.

eventually you could try the phone.apk from Jumba´s NeonGT SGS theme (may need porting work like image scaledown...) it features non increasing ringtone without those troubles along with call recording. dont know if this is so easy, but definitley worth a try...

Yeah, i did try it yesterday (there is a phone.apk and 3 lib files) but the phone stucked at bootloader :/

to bad....

I Fix that.
I copy classes.dex (this file contain a smali folder) from modified Phone.apk to stock, deodexed Phone.apk
And Everything Works. No Force Close

so now we have perfect non increasing ringtone? congrats...

I have problem with non working Phone.apk. I replaced the apk but now I have no signal(no working connection). I also did buck up the wrong file so I cannot restore it. What can I do to fix it?

You could request the original file here ;-)

Can I have an original Phone.apk from 2.1 eclair?
Just tried it and failed. Going for reflash...

Huuu, didn't think u could be on eclair rom nowadays. This mod is only for froyo roms... i think there wont be many people with eclair around on xda anymore. Better request in general forum eventually.

Hahaha! I'm rather conservative! But I forgot to update the above. I eventually flashed the JPF. But again, the Phone.apk icon is different. Do I have to deodex the rom?

[MOD][SOURCE] Disable lockscreen vibration on any ROM

Here is another solution to disable the lockscreen vibration. Root is needed.
Be careful, you are responsible for everything you do, not me.
Please don't ask, i won't do anything like a graphical interface or else to enable/disable.
This thread was the inspiration: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605363
I dont yet know how to compile the source from this thread, so i searched for another way, baksmalimanager is the solution.
It decompiles and recompiles .jar files and their contents.
Download baksmalimanager
Take the framework.jar from /system/framework/ on the device and place it into the baksmalimanager directory on the pc.
Be sure to remain a backup of this file if something doesn't work.
Then run "baksmali Manager.bat" press 4 to select the framework.jar file and then 1 to decompile it.
Open this directory path inside your baksmalimanager directory framework\com\android\internal\widget\multiwaveview.
Open MultiWaveView.smali in a text editor, search for "setVibrateEnabled" until you find following line, remove it completely:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v11}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/MultiWaveView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
Save the file. Run "baksmali Manager.bat" again if you closed it. Press 4, select the framework.jar and then press 2 to recompile.
Then open the framework.jar with 7-Zip or something else like that and replace the classes.odex file with the one from the baksmalimanager directory. Think of the backup before you do it.
Then replace the framework.jar in your devices /system/framework/ directory with the modded framework.jar.
Reboot and vibration is gone.
If something doesn't work like expected. Replace with the original framework.jar again.

works great on CM9 ROM latest nightly build for SGS2,,,,,now i can remove the vibra,,,,,thx a lot mate,,,
just suggestion, it's better to include adb.exe and all related files because without it,your program cannot work,,,
And you're now +1 in your thx meter,,,,

A couple of Qs before I replace my old framework.jar:
1.What if I just put '#' before the line I'm supposed delete? Seeing as # is usually a comment and does not affect the code, isn't it the same if I comment it or delete it? I did delete it, i'm just asking out of curiosity...
2.As much as I can understand, you don't need ADB for this, right? The program decompiles the .jar file without it with no problems, at least for me...
You got your thanks
EDIT: Works like a charm on my HTC Desire (SpazeDog's ICS ROM). Finally, the dreaded vibrations have stopped!
Though the answers to the upper questions would be appreciated...

thank you for this, works great on Galaxy Ace with CM9

Thanks Heaps badcrow! Works perfectly on Galaxy S2, CM9.0.0.
1. Tested commenting out the line (with #) and it works perfectly.
2. Doesn't need ADB coz it's working on the file on your PC, not on your phone, just hit any key when baksmali tells you.
Still have vibrate elsewhere, just not on lockscreen. Also, the file I replaced in framework.jar was classes.dex (not .odex).

I really don't want to say this, but; I told you so
As for the other vibrations, see other settings ot other baksmali files and mess with them

on AOSP JellyBean 4.1.1, I had to edit GlowPadView.smali to remove the vibration.
"framework\com\android\internal\widget\multiwaveview"
form this:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v6}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/GlowPadView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
to this:
Code:
[B]#[/B]invoke-virtual {p0, v6}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/GlowPadView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
this has worked for me.

im very confused bro...
"replace the classes.odex file with the one from the baksmalimanager directory."
in baksmalimanager directory not file the classes.odex,,,

You 'baksmali' the jar file (de-compile), make the edits you need and 'smali' (compile). Once you do that, you should have a classes.dex (not .odex, but .dex !!) file.
Then just take 7Zip (or winrar, or whatever else can open .jar files) and replace the original classes.dex with the one you 'smali'd'

Hmmm. Doesn't seem to work for me Maybe I did something wrong. I had to deviate from these steps a little for my phone. Maybe I screwed it up.
I have a deodexed stock rom for Droid 4 running ICS 4.0.4. I actually found this file and line of code in the framework-ext.jar file instead of framework.jar. And, for some reason, baksmali manager wouldn't find the file when I typed 4, unless I renamed the file to framework.jar. Once I did, it found it and decompiled it fine. I changed the code and recompiled, and copied the classes.odex file into the framework.jar file. Then I renamed it BACK to framework-ext.jar. But when I put it back in the system/framework directory, the phone got stuck at the Droid Eye screen on bootup. It just continuously showed it. I had to used adb to push the old file back in place.
Can you just not do it this way? Any ideas? Thanks

How come Baksmali didn't recognize a .jar file? It does, with every version of the name 'framework' I've tried...
BTW, was there even an .dex file inside the .jar file? (de-odexed, kinda sounds like there aren't any more .dex files... just a thought, tho, since I have no idea what that actually means...)
Did you delete the old version of the framework-ext.jar? Or at least rename it (I keep a renamed original copy of the file right there in /system/framework, just in case)?

I'm not sure why it didn't recognize the framework-ext.jar file. Was hoping you could tell me Well anyway, it looks like my rename method should work, because all that Baksmali does is extract the file. So, if I gotta rename framework-ext.jar to framework.jar to do the work, and then change it back, it shouldn't matter. And yes the .dex file was in there (and lol nice xP )
I figured out what I did wrong. I replaced the .dex file with 7Zip incorrectly. I couldn't figure out how to place the new .dex file into the .jar file, so I tried clicking "Copy" and changed the destination directory to C:\...\framework-ext.jar. What that did was erase the .jar file, and replaced it with a renamed version of the .dex file. Whoops, haha I later figured out that you can just drag and drop.
Ok, so my phone boots now....Buuuuuuut....the vibration is still there???? The lockscreen still vibrates. Although, the vibration doesn't seem as intense as before. But, it's still there, even if I disable "Vibrate on Touch" in the sound menu.
I checked to make sure that I didn't accidentally put the original framework-ext.jar file into /system/framework/, but I confirmed that I put the modified file in there with the line of code removed, so I'm not crazy Maybe this method just doesn't work completely on my ROM, but I like that the vibration is at least less intense. Thanks so much for the help!

Request for option on CM website
Hi gyus,
thaks for the explanations.
I don't really like to change the code so I requested the option to able or disable vibrations on lock screen on the CM website.
Maybe if we're enough to say it's a good idea, they'll actually program it
Here is the post (as I'm a new member I can't post outside links, repalce underscores by dots)

If you didn't subscribe, I suggest you do it because there is many many good stuff there too

Recently installed CM9 from modpank and encountered this problem, but your version, help me! Thank you!

Just an update on this, if you want this to work on the ICs and JB lockscreen you also need to repeat the process for GlowPadView.smali as well.

4.2.1
Does anyone know how to get it to work on 4.2.1? I tried it 3 different times with no luck.

thats what you get with a new firmware
Ask on the ROM thread, maybe? If there's enough interest, maybe the DEVs will include a setting in the next version...

there‘s no MultiWaveView.smali after decompiling of moto fire xt

What about some info about your ROM...?
Wouldn't that be nice?

[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.

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

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.
