Hey guys,
After realizing how fantastic the tab is after switching to 182 dpi I figured I'd fix up some of the apps to fit better.
Thanks to Xan from this thread for the quick tool and batch script to make the changes.
These apks are from Overcome 1.6.3 and should work on other dpi settings as well.
Instructions, push the new files to /system/app after mounting the system rw, or using root explorer..
*Edit May 4th* I've attached an updated Email.apk as well
Disclaimer:The Standard disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible if this causes boot loops, any other issues with your Tab, or giant meteors to crash into your car.Backup the files you are replacing first.
So u did rename framework-res to 1.apk and twframwork to 2.apk.. decompiling phone & contacts worked for me. Give me a howl if it didn't work and ill zip up mine and send it..
oh im editing overcome145 - not tested 163
just a friendly tip, might be a idea to use frameworks from a stock 2.2.1 rom instead from a moddified rom, might be a glitch there..
yup, sure did.
*edit* think I've got it now, I compiled the new apktool and started fresh..
Can you post screen shots
I tried, but ddms doesn't capture them correctly. The change makes the apps pretty much look exactly like they do at 240dpi.
can you change the email app too please? when i go into the landscape 2 pane mode, the left pane doesnot appear correctly.
thanks
Yeah for sure. Ill have a look and fix it tomorrow..

Im still fiddling with this, so please tell me i can stop
Thanks.
Noticed that the statusbar disappears in the email app, when i go into landscape.
How about modifying the camera app?
I didnt find the stock launcher too bad. Had to switch it though, after i changed density. Is that modifyable too?
Would be nice.

Email fc I'm on overcome 1.4.7 hope this helps
Mr. mssmison is only adjusting for overcome16x, mixing 2.2 with 2.2.1 will probably give errors..

Phone might be a tough one, any time I adjust the xml's at all it just crashes out the phone app when you end a call, thereby restarting the modem.. Best temp fix I can think of is to adjust the png for the end call button to be transparent on the right hand side.
I'll keep plugging away at it though.
Noticed it too, tested just changing background to black, and it would behave the same, fc on inn or out going.??

off topic what xml editor are you using? every editor i use to open xml just crashes
i use notepad++ mini version.
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/release/5.9
After reading a thread on here before about this is (which i cannot find again) I decided to get to work to make this work, and after a little bit of poking about i managed to get it to work!
The app is now on the market! either search for "xperia play camera" or you use this link https://market.android.com/details?id=seb.camera.mod&feature=search_result.
The instructions are now obsolete but im keeping them there for completeness.
Installation Insturctions
1. Backup the original camera application with a root application manager e.g. titanium backup
2. Then delete the original camera app
3. Reboot your phone
4. Install the .apk from below
If you have a previous version installed you do not need to delete the old one or reboot just install as you would any other app
Version history
v5 - fixed remaining issues this is the final version as of time of writing please report any issues.
v4 - fixed video mode and added non root version
v3 - pictures now taken on release of R1 and menu position fixed
v2 - Decreased menu size by about 40% and fixed minor graphical glitches with menus
v1 - Original release, has VERY large menus
Hope you guys like it!
Removed my old camera app with titanium backup, tried to install this one, got a message saying 'application not installed'.

That's odd that's the issue i was getting before i removed the camera app fully, make sure you have unknown sources enabled and i used antek app manager to remove it so manbe give that a go. Ill look into it.
I will defo be trying this!!

Same thing happened to me. Just reboot your phone after you remove the app and the install should work, worked for me

Currently the shutter button on the screen remains highlighted until you tap the screen, not a big issue but its one I didn't have time to resolve, maybe later.
To install the app (.apk attached) you need to remove the one that came with the phone and then install this one, I would recommend backing up the original first too.
Hope you guys like it!

Did you update app without telling us? I dont get the highlighted shutter button after I take a pic. Also the menu options are huge! Anyway to fix that?

Oh god yeah I didnt notice that I basicly downloaded the latest source code for the camera app from the android git and edited the code involving shutter buttons, when I get a chance ill have a look why the fonts so big. Xxx

Cheers mate working fine. Backed up org. camera apk, then deleted it with titanium, rebooted and installed modded version without any issues

Works like a charm ! thanks
Now going to update the original post with v2 that fixes the graphical glitches with the on screen hud. The pop-up menus have been decreased in size but still remain larger than the insanely small ones the original menu had. This version can be installed over the top of v1 like a normal app with no fuss.
good job !!
but how can i move libs to system files?
Great app! Works like a charm. Thanks for the great work.
My suggestion: I don't know what everyone thinks about this, but would it be possible to make it so that the app only focuses pressing down but doesn't take the actual photo until you release your finger (it would kind of mirror the shutter button on the screen).
Some advantages that would come from this would be being able to focus and then reframe, as well as timing shots better.
Thx bud works so much better now...I really disliked touching the screen to take pic.

Agree with this.
Also, r trigger doesn't seem to work in video mode.
Excellent mod though, thumbs up.
I guess its time for v3 that shouldnt be hard to do and I shall try fix the video mode too.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Sounds good to me with R button pushed=focus and R button released=snap picture
Good work on the app mate, looking forward to a v3
Regards Dousan...
Good job but a few issues...
1. Is it me or so images taken this way seem to be blurrier than when taken with the stock camera app?
2. Why is there a gap between the menu bar, and the portion with the shutter button and the camera mode selector?
3. It seems to me that the menu, when clicked on it, seems as if the options are very blurry?
Nhialor
Also, remove the on screen shutter button.
You see, you help people, do a good job & they expect you to perform miracles!
Alright well sprints latest OTA has the SecMMS.apk that does not show single pictures as slideshows, but instead shows them normally. Well i tried pulling the apk and using it on the verizon s3 but it didn't work I put in system/app and alas nothing worked. So im requesting that somebody edit it/mod it/whatever needs to be done, to make it work on our S3's
I attached the zip file that has the SecMMS.apk in it as well as the odex file, i would like it to work on deodexed stock roms
and here's the framework-res.apk https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6et6bqelqj0ed8/framework-res.apk
Thanks in advance!
Bump, anything anybody?
For me it only shows as a slideshow if text is included. Otherwise it just pulls up as a normal pic. Are you sure the sprint mms app behaves differently?

I would assume you have to be rooted since it will most likely have to be pushed to your system apps, i tried pushing it there but it wouldn't work.
As far as the one click root, if you aren't flashing any kind of system img then you should keep your data, but i always assume that ill be losing my data when rooting.

Interestingly I can only save pics that are part of the slideshow presentation by pausing then hitting menu > save attachment. On the regular image view the only option is Set picture as. However, from the message list view I can long press both types (those with text and without) and the option to save attachment is there.

Thats good to know, i really wanna use the touchwiz messaging but i can't stand that slideshow view. It just looks so odd, not sure why the hell samsung thought it was smart to use in the first place. That's why im hoping this can modded to work for us
And @Mods if you happen to see this can you move this thread to the theme/app section so it gets more attention. Thank you

You will also need at least framework-res.apk from the most recent Sprint stock image in order to properly decompile this apk.

Nope. The framework is needed to decompile the apk and help make it work.
Is there any way to remove this from the Jelly Bean OTA?
Verizon Jelly Bean does not have Blocking Mode.
Yes it does. Download quick short cut maker and you can add it that way.
Then the Icon is in systemUI or framework-res apks or both. Have to remove them.
hoping someone has a quick way of doing so..

I know, I was hoping someone made a .zip to install in recovery to remove this or something. There is a thread for the international version where someone did just that. Just hoping to see someone on the Verizon end of things doing it as well...
Can someone make me a flashable zip for this or know where I can get one? Ever since I updated to Clean Rom 6R2 I really miss it since kindacrapmods doesnt work.
I have searched the forums and the net with no luck....
Thanks everyone!

It says it does, but launcher stays locked in memory, so it doesn't effect anything, but you get the toast message.
The code changed in 4.1.2 so the kindacrap way doesn't work on the newer ROMs. I don't know of anyone working on this, as menu works the same (you just lose the half @ss 'search' function) and multi window should be coming...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I know coding has changed in the new update since kinda crap. What I was trying to say was just to see if he can decompile it and look at it to compare the differences. Who knows, what needs to be changed might just stick out to him and may be any easy fix. Just an idea...
