[MultiDPI] Galaxy S Pack from Xan! UPDATED FOR GINGERBREAD!

Just in case someone missed the thread.
Since we don't have CWM, follow the instructions below
Download the GalaxySPack...
Unzip files in /system/app.
Backup your phone's file.apk that you are about to copy from GalaxySPack and also the odex file. (You can rename the files xxx.apk.bak, xxx.odex.bak)
Copy the files in your phone's /system/app/, reboot and there you go.
Done.
Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" Button for me is all I ask.
*** There is also the MultiDPI Video Player and Camera, but it doesn't seem to affect our phone. Should work on any DPI.
FOR Gingerbread Install.... (Other APK's are coming)
1. Download unsignedDialerTabActivity.apk
2. Rename to DialerTabActivity.apk
3. Backup your Original DialerTabActivity in \system\app
4. Copy new DialerTabActivity.apk
5. Hit the Thanks Button for me please (I actually did this one on my own)
Enjoy!
P.S. Music Player is the same for GB.

Sorry I am a noob but just trying to figure out what this is supposed to do?
Is it just an app that runs on any dpi?

The zip contains apks. Basically you replace the apks from this zip into your /system/app
Like the DialerTabActivity.apk or MusicPlayer.apk. These apk's are modded to support most DPI changes. So you just replace away, but a good idea is to back your old apk hahaha....
Hope that helps.

Whats the benifit to replacing the stock apk files?

Read the other thread about MultiDPI apks.
When you change DPI's certain things like the phone dialer doesn't scale correctly. These APKs does...
If you don't change DPI's on your infuse, don't worry about it.

Did you rename DialerTabActivity.odex to Something like DialerTabActivity.odex.bak
?

Of course not! That would have been the smart thing to do! Can anyone post the original for me?

Wait there are two files that you had to modify in your phone.
You replaced DialerTabActivity.apk from the .zip THEN you have to remove or rename DialerTabActivity.odex
THEN REBOOT!
Did you do this?

No, I re read the instructions you clearly posted, kicked myself, and it works splendidly now. THANKS!

HAHHAA its all about reading.....
Try it for the music.apk, its nice especially when you turn on visualize for a song. Its so nice on a horizontal screen on a 4.5" screen!

Awesomeness dood! I am going to try this right now

Okay, so I made the change and my thoughts:
Dialer works perfect, music player works too but my biggest concern is that my grid where I can place icons and the apps drawer is still in the top left corner.
It's almost like phone doesn't know I can put icons in the bottom right.
What do I need to change in order to fix that?
Basically the layout of the phone does not recognize all the extra space I have now?
How can I take a screenshot to show you guys?

It kinda looks like this. Any ideas?

Get rid of that ****ty launcher....
Just using LauncherPro..... and call it a day. If you want to get fancy then get this launcher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095874

assuming you copied files to /sdcard/settings/apps/ and run as su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
sed -i 's/ro.sf.lcd_density=240/ro.sf.lcd_density=190/g' /system/build.prop
cp -rf /system/app/DialerTabActivity.apk /sdcard/settings/backup
cp -rf /system/app/DialerTabActivity.odex /sdcard/settings/backup

rm /system/app/TouchWizCalculator.odex
cp /sdcard/settings/apps/TouchWizCalculator.apk /system/app/
reboot
i use AWD Launcher to fix launcher problem

I used root explorer to copy the files over and set permissions.
It was launcher issue...I changed the launcher to launcher pro and it works like a charm now at 200 density for now. I might change it to 190 but I think 200 is a decent enough density
Thanks everyone

Dude 190 is WAYYY better.... at 200 there is a little oversharpness by samsung's filters. 190 really creates more of a rounded letter... Doesn't make that big of a difference.
Also in LauncherPro you can change the number of rows or columns on the home screens + have it automatically size widgets and placement of icons to get that even look.

Yeah market doctor is super handy. It's one of the awesome hidden features. I found out about it from restoring a backup and not having my apps update. I read online that one of my apps had updated and I went to the market to check and sure enough there was an update available but my phone didn't warn me. I looked into it and found out that TB can fix the market links for you so that your apps will be recognized again and voila, I had updates for 15 apps.
Now that you can do scheduling in the newest version of TB, you can also run the market doctor on schedule, once a week for example

[GUIDE][MOD]ICS Pattern locksreen(Change path thickness)

Guide to changing path thickness of Pattern Lockscreen to ICS style​
I wandered places searching this off. I found some traces in direction of my destiny but none of them worked fully correctly
So, as stated, I searched a lot for this mod and came face to face with failures and smali errors. So, I had to figure it out myself some modification to do in it to make it work.
Note: IT is not COMPLETELY my mod but I have done modifications in it to make it work. This is based on a guide for Froyo outside of XDA.
Pre-Requisites:
1. PC with Java JDK or JRE
2. Deodexed ROM
3. 7-Zip
4. classes.dex decompiling tool
5. Notepad++
6. Patience
7. Carefulness for editing smali files
Let's Start
1. First we would have to decompile classes.dex inside framework.jar
For that, you can use my Tool ROM Tool v3
First using 7zip, Right click on your framework.jar and open it as archive and drag and drop classes.dex in input folder of the tool
(Note: If you don't have classes.dex in framework.jar [only META-INF and preloaded-classes.dex], then your framework isn't deodexed)
Now, open Script.bat and choose 1 (Decompile classes.dex)
2. Now, we will make the changes. Go to decompiled folder and go to \classout\com\android\internal\widget and open LockPatternView.smali in Notepad++
Search for mDiameterFactor:F [Ctrl+F]​
See the code above it.
It should be like this:-
Code:
const[COLOR="Red"]/high16[/COLOR] v2, 0x3f00
If it is, then you will have to remove red part /high16
Because it will not allow the change of code we will be doing which will have a different hexadecimal value which will not be supported till this code is in effect
Now, it will look like this:-
Code:
const v2, 0x[COLOR="Red"]3f00[/COLOR]
Now, we will change the thickness value 3f00 to 3dcccccd
Final code will look like this
Code:
const v2, 0x3dcccccd
Save it
I am attaching final and before smali for comparison below.
View attachment 1936707
(Note: If you don't have /high16, it's good , then just change the value and save)
3. Go to Script.bat again and choose 2 (Recompile classes.dex) and after it's done, you will get classes.dex
Drop it in framework.jar
4. Push framewotk.jar in /system/framework
Eg:
Copy it in platform-tools folder of android SDK and type following with pressing Enter after each command
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework.jar
adb shell killall system_server
Last command will Hot Reboot your phone to apply changes. It is fast and better than rebooting phone.
5. Enjoy

alternate version.
4 - read (r)
2 - write (w)
1 - execute (x)
so 777 implies rwx rwx rwx
and 644 rw r r

Working good!

This isn't a universal mod as different ROMs have different framework.jar.

Grade school diploma (i.e. ability to read)
THE SKINNY
WHAT IS NIGHTLY UPDATER
Nightly Updater is an AROMA installer for those that
yearn to have the cleanest device. Since I first
owned an HTC Droid Eris, I have been wiping bloatware
off of my device. Flash foward to my latest devices -
LG Nexus 4 and the 2013 Asus Nexus 7 and there ain't
much bloatware... But, all AOSP ROMs tend to come with
at least one or two apps that I can do without (and
sometimes a lot more). Nightly Updater is a simple
tool that allows users to remove unwanted system
applications in an easy manner. NU also allows users
to customize which apps are removed.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Nightly Updater works by relying on scripts that
read txt files. When customizing your script, the
installer looks for junk.txt in the "NU" folder of
your virtual (i.e. internal) SD card. Each line that
has not been "commented out" (i.e. does not have a
"#" at the front of it) or any terms (i.e. app
descriptions) that follow a "#" are removed from the
script. This leaves Nightly Updater with a clean text
file that only has the applications you want to remove.
Review:
Custom Script is called: junk.txt
Custom Script goes here: /sdcard/NU/junk.txt
#Chrome.apk -- NOT DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk -- DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk #Google Browser -- AFTER "#" IGNORED
HOW DO I ADD MY OWN APPS
You can add your own apps in three ways: [1] name (without
apk), [2] name (with apk), or [3] file path.
[1] Name (without ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome
The installer will automatically know it is looking for an apk and
delete Chrome.apk.
[2] Name (with ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome.apk
I think you know what it does.
[3] Full File Path... Now, you can get a little funkier and do the entire
file path like:
Code:
/data/app/Chrome.apk
This comes in
handy for files like pre-loaded wallpapers and
ringtones you may want to remove. Be cognizant of
where the files you are removing are located! This
will become very important when telling Nightly
Updater where to scan.
By the way, Nightly Updater also recognizes wildcards.
This is great for those user apps that end up having
unpredictable file names. For example:
Code:
/data/app/com.google.android.youtub*.apk
com.google.android.youtube*
These are both ways of erasing YouTube regardless of
the "-X" at the end of the file name.
WHAT'S UP WITH SCANNING
When using a Custom Script, Nightly Updater asks
where you would like to scan for apps. By default,
Nightly Updater recommends you only scan in the
System/App folder - which is where (shocker) system
apps are located. Remember, most junk apps are located
in System/App. However, Nightly Updater has also given
the option to scan Data/App. Some developers will put
apps in the Data/App folder, so it may be useful to
remove apps from there. But NORMALLY, these are only
the apps you chose to install. The final option is
to scan EVERYWHERE. Be very cautious with this command!
Remember that it is matching what you write in
junk.txt with the scan parameter. If you accidentally
wrote "system" as an app you wanted to remove instead
of SystemTuner.apk (with full scan on)... you would
erase your system folder... that's REALLY BAD!!!
Now, if you only check this option when you are using
full path and double check your junk.txt file so that
you did not make any mistakes... YOU ARE GOOD!!!
When in doubt, post your junk.txt here and I will
check it over for you
WHAT'S THE DEFAULT SCRIPT
If you download junk.txt from the OP at XDA, then
you have seen the Default Script. The Default
Script is meant to remove apps that MOST people
would consider expendable. If you are nervous to
tinker with your own Custom Script, try running
the Default Script first. If the script deleted
an app you need or did not delete at app you want
to destroy - hit me up and I will walk you
through the steps.

Glad to hear it! Please do post your results when you use it. You see I only have the new Nexus 7vand not the old one so I would like to see how it works on your device. However, it should work just great!

Whenever I get the chance to test it I will definitely report with results.

Cool. I used it with the provided junk.txt and keep.txt. I put them in a /sdcard/NU folder. I exported a log file after the flashing. It didnt have anything in it, but it looks like it did the job. Thanks!

The log files are still kind of in beta. They are mostly thugs I wanted to check while devving. I hope to make them more useful in the future But glad to hear!

Seems to be working very good. But using the default junk.txt I lost the stock e-mail client which I need for my work. Hope I got a backup. And otherwise it's time to make a new backup and reflash stock.
I know it's my own fault so no hard feelings and I'll experiment some more

If you ever delete an app you need with Nightly Updater. Just reflash your ROM. Then fix junk.txt to NOT delete that app. In your case, add a "#" in front of "Email" aka the AOSP Email app. Then rerun Nightly Updater. Good to go

Hey y'all! Working on a sizable update that is trying include several things requested from different devices. Looking for a little help on the testing side. First few that hit me up will get it.

BIG WARNING! DO NOT use the Data Wipe in version 1.5 and below. The script does not exclude the "media" folder... As some of you know... That's the SD CARD! I just did it and it SUCKED lol It will be fixed in the next version along with many new updates
