[Q] APKTool Question for Infuse

I am trying to modify gtg465x's version of TouchWiz30Launcher.apk. All I am doing is modifying launcher:iconColumnCount to 5 in both layout-land\launcher.xml and layout-port\launcher.xml.
It builds fine. I am using both framework-res and twframework-res in APKTool.
When I copy onto my phone it doesn't launch at all.
If I am in way over my head, don't be shy just tell me. Otherwise any guidance would be appreciated.

Oh sorry, thought you were using APK Manager. Anyways, use APK Manager. It's sort of a front end for APKTool and will be easier.

you don't sign system apks...i think thats what he's trying to get at. Try using apk manager 4.9. it is a dos-based gui that makes apktool do your bidding...including warning you that system apks do not need to be signed.
EDIT: Lol. jinx

Can you make app drawer to continuously scroll instead of paging, but I think it is better scrolling continuously sideways instead of scroll up and down. Because sideways scroll. You see more app right? Or may be a bad idea? I hope they can make an app like the Go SMS PRO where you can switch the paging of app to wave, roll, cube etc.

try this:
* open the original .apk with WinZip or whatever zip opener you like
* drop the changed files into the zip without unziping.
* push to the phone and try it.

i did try to edit the resources.. it won't work also (with apktool). I did try just d and then b. same problem. not showing on launcher

May need to remove data and odex, repush to system/app, and logcat the startup and information that it provides with attempted system installation. If you want more eyes, feel free to push me a PM with a link to your apk and when I receive my infuse later this week, I'll take a crack at it.

[req] CRT lock animation

Can anyone make this for the Galaxy Note? Would be much appreciated!
Or can anyone tell me if this will work:

You could try the app "Screen Off and Lock" from the Market, not quite as slick as the real thing since it doesn't map to the power button, but not bad in the meantime!

so this works on the galaxy note? I want to do this but dont want to waste my time if it doesnt work

Yup worked like a charm, pretty easy too if you just follow the instructions step by step

i uploaded the file as a zip, just extract the apk out of it and replace the one in your sytem/framework with this one. Also not sure if it matters but my phone is a KJ4

hmm....gonna give that a go now..
I installed it via CWM

How do you replace the old framework-res.apk ?
I've tried Root Explorer with no success... The file is read only.

Click the little mount r/o button then try to paste it
Your phone will restart and when it comes back on, this and battery percentage should both work

Much more simpler to do than explaining it ...
Thanks to tr.supradeep for it post ... if you have root make like this ... it works on all rom and all themes ... better than flashing someone framework.res.apk that can stuck your phone in bootloop ...
FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENABLE CRT ANIMATION WITHOUT CHANGING THEME IN CODEROM:
Just follow the steps given below regarding build.prop and probably if there is no mistake then it should work.
How to enable CRT animation:
1. Pull out "build.prop" using adb or copy it to your comp using Root Explorer. Modify it as suggested ahead. It resides in /system/build.prop .
2. Open build.prop and modify one(or two on coderomnexus) of the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #.
3. Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer it doesnt matter.
4. Now apply any of the themes provided below using the steps given above.
5. Reboot phone.
NOTE: If the CRT animation is not working after reboot then reapply theme after you have modified your build.prop and try to reboot and see. And also enable all animations or some animations in Settings->Display->Animation for CRT animation to work.
NOTE: If you cannot follow the instructions given here please follow the link given below.
Video for Instructions to enable CRT animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6RsSZ4X2w
Credit for the Video: GadgetCheck (Thank you very much GadgetCheck )
Hope this works for all of you.
Any problems please comment. And i do hope many other developers use my theme and make newer or older theme with the CRT animation enabled as i cannot do it all by myself.
Please click Thanks if this post helped you.

Modified framework-res.apk for KK1
I had modified framework-res.apk with the animation turned on only for KK1 per attachment. Just replace the one in /system/framework.

jcklau.
U mind giving telling me what files to replace in framework-res.
I got a heavily modded framework that I dont want to loose. It would be easier if I just recompile ur xml into my framework rather than the other way round.
What xml did u edit.?
And any additional files?
Also, is it both crt on and off... or only off effect?
Thnx a million.

I edited res/values/bools.xml
Changed "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
Hope it helps.

THANKYOUI SO MUCH, ok so i have the value you specified changed, now, is there anyway i can flash it into my phone so i dont have to painstakingly reinstall the rom and set all ym stuff back up?
also, after i have decompiled and the value changed, what is the next step to recompile? to chose option 15 and compile and sign and install apk?

ok..good you have decompiled and edited...!! No need to sign...
this is what you do..
use option 11..compile system apk..
go through the guide again, it specifically gives info about editing framework-res.apk
now since u have edited an .xml file, therefore you will have to delete resources.arsc
now again i'm saying see the guide, it tells u step by step along with pictures
after compiling apk, there are two options!
1. rename the compile apk as framework-res.apk and push it to system/framework and replace the old one!!
Note: If you do this you will face lot of force close errors, and screen might go black too...but this is normal..all you have to do is reboot and you'll be good again!:good:
OR
2. Create a flashable zip for cwm
How to-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721680
P.P.S- If you have committed any mistake in editing or compiling or even there is an software error in APK Multi tool which produced a bad .apk your phone will go into bootloop, hence make a backup with cwm!!

andddd im now bootlooping, i am on the third recompile, and pushing from recovery to /system/framework/framework-res.apk and i deleted the resources.asrc ill try recomiling a few more times just to make sure its not apk mutitool messing up

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ok..so i assume u are following the guide correctly and since u have tried three time hence i believe there is no mistake on editing part..following are scenarios:
1. APK Multi Tool is not compiling apk properly, in such case use other apk tools and then check ur results.
2. the problem might be with your phone/OS, i cannot predict what might be the problem, it's best to ask this thing in ur device's section!
I assume you are on deodexed ROM, if u want to check how then-
decompile your systemui.apk and go to folder project and there will be a folder "systemui". Open it and check if there is a folder named "smali" in it! If yes then ur rom is deodexed and if not ur ROM is odexed. I cannot guarantee the working of above method on odexed ROMs.!
Workaround
1. Get CM
2. There's an app called Screen Off and Lock. It gives CRT animation but not by power button press. It creates a shortcut on homescreen, by pressing which u lock ur phone with CRT animation:good:. But again it does not provide aniamtion on screen unlock!

How to????

Hello!
I've currently Managed to install a custom rom (MIUI very sexy)
But there are a few things i don't like
1). Can i change the boot animation and how?
2). My SIM Carrier is 'Orange' but it shows up as T-Mobile UK, can i change this?
3). Where can i find the default Camera.apk in the MIUI rom!

i dont mean to be rude...but its irresponsible to ask questions without searching the forums first...
That said,
1.boot animation change involves finding a boot animation zip file (which u can create if you want to) and putting it inside the rom replacing the curent animation,u can get details on any guide for porting roms.
2. Changing Sim carrier sounds non functional but it probably will involve the build.prop..altho i am not sure about that..
3.Isnt that already installed?...you can find it inside the rom zip or in your phone /system/app

'Irresponsible' isn't the correct term, You mean i'm being lazy. I've changed the Boot Animation and i guess i'm not to alarmed about the Carrier name, but There is a default camera installed but i don't like it therefore i would like to replace it, I can't find it in system/app

About dial tone you need to change touch_ripple.ogg from SecContacts_Phone_OSup.apk
You can do it simple with Zip or Rar. No need to decompile (I think).

transfer to PC open with winrar and change the touch_ripple.ogg with yours.

The zip contains the modified apk and the related ogg file

I tried changing the files at that time too-it gave force crash too.. :laugh:

What ROM do you run?
Also please check the permissions on the apk.
Sometime it's not set correctly, that's why icon is missing.

Just a question, what is the method for reverting back to Echoe Rom v23 default dialer with full image? I have yours now which I really prefer, but I would like to toggle back just to compare the difference. Than you.

Just extract LegacyInCallUI.apk from your ROM's zip and replace in phone with correct permissions.
