So I modifed the vending.apk by changing some of the colors in the xml and by theming some of the png files. I recompiled it and everything compiled fine. I signed it and then flashed it and it said that it installed yet when it boots up I still have the old marketplace. Any help would be appreciated. I have the file attached.
Did you replace it in /system/app?

I used the same install script that I used on the Gmail that I modified and it installed correctly.
If google has updated the market, it may be in data/app and is using thst one instead

No it is in system/app...looks like I got it to install...I just need to do more modifications to it.
In the public.xml is has lines like this
<public type="color" name="header_background_highdarkTransparent1" id="0x7f090029" />
<public type="color" name="header_background_highdark2" id="0x7f09002a" />
<public type="color" name="light_foreground" id="0x7f09002b" />
<public type="color" name="black" id="0x7f09002c" />
<public type="color" name="white" id="0x7f09002d" />
<public type="color" name="header_text" id="0x7f09002e" />
What does id="0x7f09002e mean? is that a color? I do not recognize that as a color.
So no one can tell me what the above means?
Introduction
Google Camera uses media_profiles.xml file where the Image quality is never set to 100 except if you're using a custom ROM where it is set by the ROM developer.
As a consequence, Google Camera and maybe other camera apps that works similarly, saves photos at around 600 kb in Galaxy S4. This is a lot of compression and may disappoint users who prefer the Google Goodie.
All thanks to @Alberto96 who brought this into light in his amazing ROM GearCM (Don't forget to thank him :highfive: )
Note: ROOT is Required
The Guide
Head on to system/etc and get the file "media_profiles.xml". You can back it up for your convenience.
You can use a PC for quick Find and Replace.
Open the file via an editor and find the code:
Code:
<ImageEncoding quality="90" />
<ImageEncoding quality="80" />
<ImageEncoding quality="70" />
(Tip: just search "ImageEncoding" and you'll get right there as the quality values can be different)
You'll find this three line code at two places and will be similar at both the places.
All you have to do is make it like this:
Code:
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="95" />
<ImageEncoding quality="90" />
Change to this code at both the places and save it. Then obviously put this file and replace it with original one at system/etc
Make sure and check if the permissions are rw-r--r--
Reboot and Enjoy taking Full Quality and Uncompressed photos from Google Camera :victory:
Don't forget to press Thanks button if you find this useful

thank for this TUT i really hate to use google camera for it quality in AOSP and CM rom but next time i diffidently use it when install AOSP or CM rom
Got a hold of the Samsung CROM Service apk that unlocks the S6 SM-G9250 bootloader and I've decompiled it, I'll be honest, it's been years since I've looked at this stuff. The file is distributed by Samsung for the Chinese market It's been verified to install on American Devices but force closes immediately. I figure it's failing a version check or something along those lines.
I can pass it along if anyone wants to take a crack at it. I'll be muddling along on my end but my primary interest is in the results - not the credit.
Anyone interested?
Edit: I have TWO versions of the file,version 1.04 android:versionCode="20150408" and
version 1.01 android:versionCode="20141126", which I've attached below.

Added in libQSEEComAPI.so and the app fires up and you can get thru all of the prompts, but then it crashes because I had to remove the shareduser so it would install, basically it has no permissions. We need to be able to load the two dependencies without modifying the apk because we can't resign the apk with the same signing key that it was originally signed with.
If someone could test this on an S6 that has root and load the two .so files we could do some more testing.

i was not able to locate the libqseecomapi.so within the apk once i decompiled it.. when i tried to add it and recompile with original signature it failed to install as he stated due to signature..
i would assume if a rooted device was able to load the lib files to the right area, the apk would not need the original signature to function..
i have no idea if thats what he meant bcuz he is beyond my skill ha!
maybe we can get someone with root to help us out.

If you can load the 2 files into the lib folder of the device there is no need to modify the apk and lose the signature and permissions. Even then the app checks the CID, IMEI, and serial which it then sends to a server to validate that you are using an unlockable device, which the AT&T variant isn't.
The only chance I see of this working is if we get root we could modify the app to have root permissions which would make modifying it not a problem. Might be possible to spoof the info being sent to the server but then there is a pretty good chance what it returned wouldn't work anyways because it doesn't match the phone.
Might be worth checking out, but I am pretty sure it's a dead end.

Thanks for the clarification! so we need root in order to manually push the apk/libs as well as try to modify it so it will work on other devices..
i knew it wasnt that easy! thanks for looking into it! hopefully it can provide insight at a bl unlock later down the road if and when root is attained.
Thanks again!

you need to manually push the libqseecom and libkwn files if you can find them then need to spoof device so it thinks its an unlockable variant when it contacts the server in order to have a chance at it working..
i am unable to locate the necessary files and when i installed both versions of the apk (also tried manually pushing and setting perms) they just fcd immediately.. i think this is due to me not having the required libs

there is no difference between stock firmware and deodexed firmware, but if you use stock firmware, you will not be able to install the modifications, the modifications can only be installed if you use deodexed firmware

Deodexed installed on a specific firmware version, cannot be installed on any version of stock firmware,you can choose BTU stock firmware or INS + deodexed BTU or INS
Odex
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk.
These application packages, or APK contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space.
These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting.
Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application.
On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
Deodexed
Deodexed is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files.
By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.
