Hi there, so I have heard there's some way to write sh scripts for android?
I am wanting to make an easy way to randomly change one line in an XML file located on the flash. Meaning it'll need su priviledges.
Basically I'm wanting to make something that'll change the mobile id for grooveshark with one touch, so the trial wont expire (why oh why don't they go to their usual ad supported method?)
I want to make a shortcut on my home screen that I can touch to to reset my trial
Any pointers?
These are the contents of the XML file in /data/data/com.grooveshark.android.v1/
Grooveshark.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<string name="cc4">8765432198</string>
<string name="cc1">0</string>
<string name="cc2">0</string>
<boolean name="hasTrialStarted" value="true" />
<string name="cc3">0</string>
<int name="splashSponsoredExpires" value="0" />
<boolean name="trialHasExpired" value="false" />
<string name="cid">229</string>
<string name="loginUnPwToken">5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</string>
<string name="username">username</string>
<string name="sessionID">c3a5a6eca887891b9bf69687badb7531</string>
<long name="mobileID" value="555554" />
<int name="sponsoredSplashCount" value="0" />
<int name="trialExpiresTime" value="1382277664" />
<int name="splashSponsorID" value="0" />
<boolean name="gs_tos_bool" value="true" />
<int name="trialNumPlays" value="0" />
</map>
I changed any numbers that'd allow you to auto log in as me
The important part is: <long name="mobileID" value="555554" />
that value has to change whenever your trial expires.
Can anyone give me some pointers? I don't need a tutorial, just an example of shell scripts on the home screen of android.
Well, I have an update. I couldn't find any good reference for shell scripts on linux, so I went ahead and just set up the SDK. I don't have too much java experience, bt I was able to get the interface made pretty easily using the online resources. Now I simply need to make the button in the app death the xml file, find that string and replace it with a random number. I anyone has some good examples of how to search and edit the contents of a file, that'd be awesome. Any takers?

This guide is basically for anyone who cooks ROMs and wants to add default widgets to any of the screens rather than the widgets HTC puts on the screens. Also if you remove some widgets from your ROM you will be left with blank screens so you can use those screens to add other widgets that are still in the ROM.
Cooking a ROM can be and is a nice experience and very educational too. After about a
year of cooking my own ROMs I decided to do what any other developer would do, learn
by trial and error and that is how I came by one my best discoveries so far, that is
where and how to place widgets in your Android ROM when you are cooking it. It is very
simple when you realise how simple it is. I don't know if anyone has it figured out
but after searching these forums for about 6 months nothing came up.
Right, let's get down and dirty with this. Here are the tools I used (anyone who cooks
ROMs should probably have them):
dsixda's kitchen - to decompile and recompile the ROMs
notepad++ - to edit various (text) files
7zip - to unzip archived files
apktool - to decompile and recompile apks
any ROM/update.zip -
other tools - will add these when they come up
Files to edit
-WORKING_******_******\system\customize\MNS\default.xml
-******widget\res\xml\***.xml
-******widget\AndroidManifest.xml
Install apktool and use it to decompress the apks for the widgets you need.
Anyway, hoping your computer is set up to use dsixda's kitchen, unpack your rom using
dsixda's kitchen (the kitchen) and navigate to
C:\cygwin\home\%user%\kitchen\%WORKING_******_******%\system\customize\MNS
Make a back up of and open default.xml with notepad++ and scroll down about half way
down till you get to
<function name="1_fx_widgets">
and that is where the widget placement begins. An example is
<function name="1_fx_widgets">
<set name="plenty">

Next is to get the apk of the widget you want to use. In this case I used the clock widget which is
HtcClock3DWidget.apk. Use apktool to decompile it (7zip will unpack it but the xmls won't show up
properly in Notepad++). Go into the the decompressed folder 'htcclock3dwidget' (Windows ignores
and lowercase letters) and open 'AndroidManifest.xml'. The file should be as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

This is for the large default clock in HTC Sense which occupies half the screen. I decided to
go for the new clock which takes up one line at the top of the screen. Right, to edit it to get
the new clock to come up when I cook my rom in the main homescreen which is screen 3 (the
fourth screen from the far left) (the screen counting starts from 0) I need "package_name",
"widget_name", "provider_name" and "span_y".
For "package_name" this is found in 'AndroidManifest.xml' in the decompiled 'htcclock3dwidget'
folder. It is found in one of the first lines
<manifest android:sharedUserId="com.htc.rosie.uid.shared" android:versionCode="300254226" android:versionName="3.0.2211151065.254226" package="com.htc.clock3dwidget"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as 'package' after 'android:versionName' so the "package_name" is
'com.htc.clock3dwidget'
For "widget_name" it is a little tricky. Navigate to 'htcclock3dwidget\res\xml' and open 'clock_widget.xml'
in Notepad++. The file looks like this (it is more or less this file, lol):

In my case I want to use the smaller newer clock (but any can do depending on which clock you want
to use) which is found on this line:
<style rosie:id="clockweather41" rosie:label="@string/widget_weather_clock" rosie:description="@string/widget_detail" rosiereview="@drawable/preview_clock_weather_4x1" rosie:date="@string/simple_widget_date" rosie:name=".ClockWeather_4x1" rosie:configure="com.htc.clock3dwidget/com.htc.clock3dwidget.setting.ConfigWeatherClock" rosie:span_x="4" rosie:span_y="1" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The name of the clock widget I want to use is found after 'rosie:name' which is ".ClockWeather_4x1".
So for "widget_name" I use "package_name"+'rosie:name' which makes it
'com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWeather_4x1'
For 'provider_name' that's a bit more difficult but after trial and error I found that it is
found in 'AndroidManifest.xml' of the clock widget on the line
<receiver android:label="@string/clock_widget_provider_label" android:icon="@drawable/clock" android:name="com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider" android:exported="true">
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so 'provider_name' is 'android:name' before 'android:exported' which is
'com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider'
This becomes
<item name="package_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget</item>
<item name="widget_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWeather_4x1</item>
<item name="provider_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
'cell_x' and 'cell_y' remain untouched because I want it at the top of the screen starting
from the left (you place it where you want using cell_x and cell_y). 'span_x' stays at '4'
(because it occupies 4 cells going to the left) but 'span_y' becomes '1' because it occupies
1 cell going down. The clock widget settings section finally becomes
<set name="plenty">
<!--2a59290f-8da8-4eba-a246-27a5df7c6246-->
<item name="package_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget</item>
<item name="widget_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWeather_4x1</item>
<item name="provider_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider</item>
<item name="screen">3</item>
<item name="cell_x">0</item>
<item name="cell_y">0</item>
<item name="span_x">4</item>
<item name="span_y">1</item>
</set>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that's just for the clock widget. The format is more or less the same for the other widgets. By the way, if you mess up the widget won't show but the widget itself won't be affected so you can manually add it. You will notice there are settings for other widgets that don't show up on any of the screens.
Oh, I think the process works the same for all phones as long as they have HTC Sense. If anyone has any questions please please please feel free to ask. We are all here to learn. I added bookmarks widget to replace friendstream widget which I don't need and re-added weather widget to first the first screen, shifted navigation widget and fellow widgets to last screen and added htc notes widget to their screen. The power is in your hands. As I said before, I couldn't find the information I needed anywhere so I had to hunt it down in the files mentioned above using my hunch and I found it. Whatever you want or need the answers are out there, you just need to find them
I have attached some screenshots. You might notice there's nothing special to them because you can change them after installing your ROM but that's how my screens look when I install my ROM so I don't have to change them anymore.

Since you already opened the default.xml file you might as well scroll a little further down and you will come this section
<module name="Browser">
<function name="bookmark">

That is the section with the default bookmarks for the bookmarks widget so you can add and remove sites so they come up by default. This section looks like this by default

I added xdadevelopers to the list but you can add more if you want or remove some too.
Had another look at that ...system\customise\mns\default.xml. Looks like the '<function name="1_fx_widgets">' section up to '<function name="5_fx_widgets">' are the scenes for the scene picker part of hts sense. Even further down are the default apps that come with each scene. All you have to do is add or change your widgets, take screenshots, add screenshots to '...\system\customise\resource\' folder, fiddle with the naming then jump into the default.xml file and take it from there. Will update as I keep testing on my phone. God help this phone, lol.

M head's pounding right now considering I have already flashed my phoned about 9 times in the past 4 hours trying to get other widgets to work by default at first boot but thanks very much for the post seadersn. I'll update it a bit more because even with this info I am a bit confused myself, lol.

hi hengmy. I am sorry I cannot help at the moment but I guess one of the other hardened developers can. Thanks for asking anyway
ok, let's have a deeper look into it. maybe i will find some time today for playing with this, too; but first: dentist ;( i hope i'm able to do anything today after massacre's over...
Right, for anybody interested, I have edited my guide a little bit more and it's a little clearer now. The guide is basically for anyone who cooks ROMs and wants to add default widgets to any of the screens rather than the widgets HTC puts on the screens. Also if you remove some widgets from your ROM you will be left with blank screens so you can use those screens to add other widgets that are still in the ROM.

Hi seadersn. Hope your trip to the dentist went ok . I redid the guide and I hope you can make some good use out of it. Any questions you have I'll try to answer but for now stay strong my friend.
thx, thx tomorrow and friday are next dentist visits longer taking thingy; replacement of three teethes
tmr is wednesday? kk, will start my testimonials in thursday: head / brain should be free then i'll contact you; i thought that there have to be a 'master index file' for that. if, then it will be found by us
gn8, maestro
well good luck with the dentist. but getting three teeth out, you must be a hero, lol. last time i went to the dentist was about 15yrs ago. i'd rather somebody punch my teeth out, lol.
anyway, from the way i see things i think those may be the 'master index files' for the default widget placement when cooking your roms. of course you can change them back. i had got fed up with changing my widgets everytime i flashed my phone so the quest began. so now i can get widgets of my choosing onto screens of my choosing before i cook and flash my rom. so it's not really something special but will come in handy for a chef. imagine cooking your own rom and having one of those fancy analogue clocks come up by default when you install your rom (of course you can change it back) and maybe a whole set of settings widgets on, hmm, maybe the last screen, for example? and that's how you might like it but how about those become your default screens for your custom roms?
i was fed of hanging around in the shadows for so many years, lol. and again, good luck with the dentist. remember to drink loads of water

thank richmondo. will try and look into that . right now i am continuously scratching my head to get some of the widgets to show up and all the scrolling up and down and copy-pasting stuff is doing my head in, lol. wld love to find an easier method
nice
Hope the mods find this and move it to chef central.
Does seem to work on all HTC phones.
This is an awesome reference thread.
Well done.

Not sure of input as this may require a library added to the keyboard of choice; however, languages are added fairly simply ASSUMING you use a WWE base rom. You just add the language and country code into the default.xml in the CID folder. Example WFS has their latest and greatest called the Euro... Well it has lots of English choices but not for the US; so a bit of copying.. then edit your copy set to en_US et voila it will show up (and set up if chosen) upon factory reset. Language always fist two digit code and in lowercase; Country 2nd set and in caps.
Now sometimes I should warn a rom may use multiple CID setup profiles if so you could spy it in the /resouce/ccinfo.txt file. I would advise knocking out the multiples and setting it to default unless you just feel like complicating your life. Logic path is build.prop to ccinfo.txt to the various default.xml's (which then often have external carrier .xmls referenced in UI strings) and a root of customize directory file which has build number and whatnot [verification purposes mostly]. After that, your own your own, but understanding the logic path helps me not go insane
Now... Speaking of keyboards, how you guys figure the "short" name to add lessay Hacker's Keyboard, my personal fav generic in mns default.xml.. other keyboard names are indeed short; so I'm kinda guessing its not the package name.
Sidenote to change input in some if not most keyboards you dl the appropriate language library... Hacker's has many, and swype the spacebar, add the lib in the input settings et voila. Cooking that in however... Still learning.
TIA,
Rob
Hey Guys,
I am currently running the latest CM7.2 nightly by maniac103 on my Motorola Defy.
CM7 usually has a special modified Nexus One Torch integrated, whose packagename is "net.cactii.flash2".
As I would like to assign a torch-toggle to a slider in widgetlocker, I need the torch-app to provide a shortcut/activity since it only offers a toggle-widget.
I am talking about the app-specific shortcuts not the shortcuts that directly link to an app.
EDIT: The reason why I haven't put this in Q&A is that this is hopefully going to be a mod, so it may save the mods some time for not needing to push it to another forum...
I may have already found out that the receiver the torch uses is called "net.cactii.flash2.TorchSwitch" and the intent it expects is "net.cactii.flash2.TOGGLE_FLASHLIGHT".
I am not sure though, if I got this whole Intent-/Receiver-thingy right... Any corrections are appreciated.
From this tutorial I have learnt, that apps provide these shortcut-entries in their AndroidManifest.xml. I should be able to modify, recompile and sign this apk.
I just don't know exactly, how I have to add this to the AndroidManifest.xml in terms of syntax and language. That's where I need help...
EDIT: Here's the code of the AndroidManifest.xml for quick review:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:versionCode="10" android:versionName="2.3.7" package="net.cactii.flash2"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon">

<receiver android:label="Torch" android:name="TorchWidgetProvider">

</receiver>
<service android:name=".TorchService" android:enabled="true" />
<receiver android:label="@string/app_name" android:name="TorchSwitch" android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="net.cactii.flash2.TOGGLE_FLASHLIGHT" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.flash" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
</manifest>
Before you tell me now, that I should use a different flashlight-app: I was already using TeslaLED which runs well with WidgetLocker.
However, the in-built torch offers a high brightness-mode that I want to use. Additionally, TeslaLED always needs 2-3 seconds to activate the flashlight, unlike Torch, which usually toggles instantly...
I have appended the torch-apk, as well as the AndroidManifest.xml I want to modify.
Here is an additional link (from another dev), which shows shortly, how the torch app works together with a statusbar-toggle, if that helps in any way...
Summary of what is needed: A mod for net.cactii.flash2's AndroidManifest.xml which provides a high brightness flashlight toggle-shortcut
If you potentially know how to write this short piece of code and you just want to know how android handles these shortcuts, please read this tutorial. It's very short and helpful.
EDIT: It seems that we have to modify the app as well, not just the AndroidManifest.xml, because it would place a shortcut in the menu, but Torch wouldn't know what to do when I select this item. Feel free to post your ideas and/or corrections
EDIT: Alternatively we could try to make Torch listen to TeslaLED's intents, but I think that would be more sophisticated and could lead to problems, when both apps are installed...
Thanks for any help in advance!

Okay, I'm using tasker to make a widget via power toggles... I used the same line in tasker, and it works great! Here's what I'm wondering now...
In power toggles, with regular toggles, you can have the icon change colors, say it would be green when the flashlight is on, and gray when off... Obviously you can't do that by just sending the intent, so anyone have any ideas about how to do this?
I know power toggles uses Tesla by default, but I don't like the delay.. Torch is on immediately, so thats what I want to use.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, I figured it out... The following task, paired with power toggles, works great! The button is off when the light is off, and the button is in the "Active" state when the light is on.. For mine its Gray when the light is off, and Green when the light is on....
If %Toggle ~ 1
Send Intent
Action net.cactii.flash2.TOGGLE_FLASHLIGHT
Variable Set
Name %Toggle To 0
Else
Send Intent
Action net.cactii.flash2.TOGGLE_FLASHLIGHT
Variable Set
Name %Toggle To 1
End If
Modify PowerToggle state
Configuration Set current toggle to off
If %Toggle ~ 0
Modify PowerToggle state
Configuration Set current toggle to on
If %Toggle ~ 1
Hope this helps someone figure this out! LOL! If it helped you, please thumbs up... Too busy to be on XDA all the time....
For the last few months when I open mxplayer I see my videos and mp3's. Videos open but when I click on a song MXplayer just disappears. I downloaded AIO Pack codecs and it shows under MXPlayer Help as being used. Is there something else I can try? Thanks

Yes. Audio works fine on videos and also streaming podcasts using mxplayer. When I begin the program it shows whatever videos, recordings and mp3's I have on my phone. However when I click a music mp3 it's as if the program just automatically closes.

Rats. Do I have to install another app to do this?
I see something called "MX Log Collector" when I search for how to get log for mxplayer.
I think I've gone a ways to solve my own problem? What I've bee trying to do was 1st open mx player.It shows a selection for videos, music etc. When I navigate to the music part and see my mp3's I select one. Then the mxplayer window closes and nothing happens. Today I went to my es file explorer. Found the mp3 file, clicked it and then it asked me which player I wanted to use to play it. I selected the mxplayer and it started playing!

I'm assuming here that MX Player is still not playing them when you open one from within MX Player
You might like to try this:
save your settings from the MX Player general menu,
uninstall MX Player
play an MP3 file using the default system or another app you have loaded - and MX Player will no longer be registered so you should see the selection menu
reinstall MX Player
play any MP3 file - and by rights I think you will see the menu again to select the player you wish to use so reselect MX Player
See if that helps the situation - and then reload your saved settings.
If there is still a problem then try a basic MP3 file to see if that plays - say with a lower bitrate around 128 Kbit, stereo, CBR
Re the log - you are on the right track I think: see here https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/faq#TOC-How-to-send-system-log-
I'm not permitted to post a URL at this stage - copy and paste it.

I have had the same issue. I discovered this only happens to me when I have 1274 or less mp3's in my music folder. 1275 or more and it does the same for me also.
Modding - Tweaks - General Changes - Information Sharing​
Hi all firstly i would like to say i am very much still a learner when it come to Android modding and have only been doing this for a couple of months as something new to keep me learning, This is just a thread i am using to keep some of the information and edits i utilise, due to the fact i have 6 kids busy life and bad memory i thought it a good idea to keep this somewhere besides my PC for future reference.
Thread Requirements.
1. Basic knowledge of compiling and decompiling apk and jar files so they can be edited.
2. Notepad++ Download
3. APK editing tool - I have been using APK Multi Tool Version 2.0 WIP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will start with CustomSettings.apk as i am editing quite often at this time,
I take no credit for this amazing apk that credit goes completely to ficeto
All drawable icons unless already included will have to be added by the modder
Adding CustomSettings.apk to SecSettings
Firstly you will need to register customsettings to your system to do this
1. pull/extract your SecSettings.apk and decompile it
2.open res/xml/display_headers add line anywhere in display_headers ( where you place it will vary where its shown in phone menu )
Example i placed mine just after the line
Code i placed mine after
Code:
<header android:id="@id/setting_search">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.search.SearchMain" />
</header>
Code to add to display_headers
Code:
<header android:title="@string/BlaizzrRom" />
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_blaizzr" android:title="@string/Rom_Ext_Fea">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.ficeto.customsettings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.ficeto.customsettings.RandomActivity" />
</header>
Now open res/values/strings.xml and add these lines, You can change the highlighted text in RED to whatever you want to display in you'r menu, The GREEN highlight text is the Category text
Code to add to Strings[/B
Code:
<string name="Rom_Ext_Fea">[COLOR="Red"]Extended Features[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="BlaizzrRom">[COLOR="Lime"]Blaizzr Rom Settings[/COLOR]</string>
Save\ Recompile Secsettings\ Ensure CustomSettings.apk is already on phone and permissions set correct, push SecSettings to phone set permissions restart and you should now have your extended menu displayed.
It wont really do much ATM until there are some options added..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naming CustomSettings Menu
Once you have CustomSettings registered to your system you may want to rename to new menu to better suit your custom rom, To do this
1. decompile Customsettins.apk
2. go res/value/strings.xml
3 Find the entry named " app_name " change this to whatever you want the new menu to be registered as within your system.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CustomSettings clickable changing menu headers ( pics )
This one has abit more to it to follow, i will try and make it easy to understand ( sorry if it gets confusing )
1. select 2 pics you wish to use for your headers, name them to easily identify, preferably bnp format but it does not matter to much, i have used gif,jpeg and other with success ( gifs dont animate though )
2. add selected pics to customsettings/res/drawable
3. in same drawable folder create 2 new xml files call these anything you like but it may be usefull to name them something like "rombanner01" & rombanner02 for easy callback
4. in rombanner01.xml add this code ( red highlight area is where you add the name of your pic, same pic name in both entries )
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="Red"]addsecondpicnamehere[/COLOR]" />
<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="Red"]addsecondpicnamehere[/COLOR]" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/rombanner02" />
</selector>
5. in rombanner02 add this code ( red highlight area is where you add the name of your other pic )
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:oneshot="true"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="3000" android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="Red"]addfirstpicnamehere[/COLOR]" />
</animation-list>
6.goto res/loyout and create a new xml file ( name it anything you want for this guide i will use rombanner.xml) add this code
In this code set android:layout_width to the screen width of your device, --- change android:layout_height to the height you want your pic to display at.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:paddingBottom="3.0dip" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="1080.0px" android:layout_height="225.0px" android:src="@drawable/rombanner01" android:scaleType="fitXY"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
7. Now ensure all these new xml files are saved. Now open res/xml/prefences.xml
add this code right below the xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> line of text ( highlighed red text is where you add the name of your new layout.xml )
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:layout="@layout/[COLOR="Red"]rombanner[/COLOR]" android:selectable="true" android:key="rom_logo" />
Now recompile your customsettings push to phone and set correct properties and check your new menu you should now have your pic at top of new menu page and when you press it it should switch to your alt picture.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CustomSettings general pages setup
Everything related to page setup is basically controlled by the res/xml/preferences.xml
to setup a basic page you would use code ( the space between the code would be filled with your code for on that page.
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Basic Apps Control" android:summary="Control over some of the included applications">
</PreferenceScreen>
Above code will create a page called Basic Apps Control, with a subtext of Control over some of the included applications
CustomSettings adding sub-header / Category
This is used to split pages into sub Categories the code is
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Application Selection">
</PreferenceCategory>
Above code will create a category called Application selection.
To utilise together we just add them together, Firstly we create the page itself then we add the sub category like so
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Basic Apps Control" android:summary="Control over some of the included applications">
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Application Selection">
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
adding your code between them will add the that item to this page in this category. eg
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Basic Apps Control" android:summary="Control over some of the included applications">
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Application Selection">
<Preference android:icon="@drawable/ic_SuperSu" android:title="SuperSu" android:key="activity;eu.chainfire.supersu;eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActivity" android:summary="Root Access Control" />
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>
Will add a tab for superSu and launch the application upon being selected

3minit quick launch and S Finder, Quick Connect on one panel with toggle Android L
First i take no credit for the quick launch mod that belongs to @gharrington
You will need to download 3minit quick launcher smali from here
Just grab the smali files as the codes on there do not work for Lillipop.
now decompile SystemUI.apk and goto..
SystemUI.apk\res\layout open quick_connect_layout_zero.xml
Change it to following:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/sfinder_qconnect_layout" android:background="@drawable/quick_connect_layout_bg" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/finder_connect_layout_height"

<HorizontalScrollView android:scrollbars="none" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/3minit_quick_layout_height">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.quicklaunch.QuickLaunchContainer android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="@dimen/3minit_quick_layout_height" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/sfinder_qconnect_layout" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/finder_connect_layout_height">
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/finder_connect_button_padding_right" android:paddingTop="@dimen/finder_connect_button_padding_top" android:paddingRight="@dimen/finder_connect_button_padding_left" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/finder_connect_button_padding_bottom" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout android:id="@id/sfinder_button_layout" android:background="@drawable/ripple_drawable" android:focusable="true" android:nextFocusLeft="@id/quick_connect_button_layout" android:nextFocusRight="@id/quick_connect_button_layout" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="@dimen/finder_connect_button_height" android:layout_weight="0.5" android:layout_marginEnd="9.0dip">
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/tw_quick_panel_sfinder_qconnect_button_text_size" android:textColor="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_sfinder_qconnect_button_text_color" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/sfinder_button_big" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/accessibility_sfinder_button" android:singleLine="true" android:drawableLeft="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_quick_sfinder_button_image" android:drawablePadding="@dimen/tw_quick_panel_sfinder_qconnect_drawable_padding" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:fontFamily="sec-roboto-light" />
</RelativeLayout>
<ImageView android:id="@id/expanded_divider_3" android:background="@color/quickpanel_button_divider_color" android:layout_width="1.0dip" android:layout_height="17.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="18.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="18.0dip" android:alpha="@dimen/quickpanel_button_divider_alpha" android:layout_toStartOf="@id/sfinder_button_layout" />
<RelativeLayout android:id="@id/quick_connect_button_layout" android:background="@drawable/ripple_drawable" android:focusable="true" android:nextFocusLeft="@id/sfinder_button_layout" android:nextFocusRight="@id/sfinder_button_layout" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="@dimen/finder_connect_button_height" android:layout_weight="0.5" android:layout_marginStart="9.0dip">
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/tw_quick_panel_sfinder_qconnect_button_text_size" android:textColor="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_sfinder_qconnect_button_text_color" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/qconnect_button_big" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/accessibility_qconnect_button" android:singleLine="true" android:drawableLeft="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_quick_qconnect_button_image" android:drawablePadding="@dimen/tw_quick_panel_sfinder_qconnect_drawable_padding" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:fontFamily="sec-roboto-light" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Now goto SystemUI\res\values\dimens.xml search for "finder_connect_layout_height"
Change code in Red, Add code in Green
Code:
<dimen name="finder_connect_layout_height">[COLOR="Red"]132.0dip[/COLOR]</dimen>
[COLOR="Green"]<dimen name="3minit_quick_layout_height">75.0dip</dimen>[/COLOR]
Toggle
Goto SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali
search for code "iget-object v8, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mQconnectSfinderView:Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/QconnectSfinderView;
" (( I use this line as only had 1 line of this in smali ) if you find more than 1 of this line let me know and i will edit guide )
Directly below this code add
Code:
iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mContext:Landroid/content/Context;
invoke-virtual {v0}, Landroid/content/Context;->getContentResolver()Landroid/content/ContentResolver;
move-result-object v0
const-string v1, "3minit_quick_connect_toggle"
const/4 v2, 0x0
invoke-static {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/provider/Settings$System;->getInt(Landroid/content/ContentResolver;Ljava/lang/String;I)I
move-result v0
if-nez v0, :cond_5
Custom Settings
Basic Switch and SystemUI Restart..
Code:
<SwitchPreference android:title="Quickconnect Panel" android:key="3minit_quick_connect_toggle" android:summaryOn="Panel is hidden" android:summaryOff="Panel is shown" />
<Preference android:title="Restart SystemUI" android:key="tool#restartsystemui" android:summary="Tap after setting 3minit Quick Connect Panel" />
