Hello,
I have a question about modifying APKs.
I have just decompiled the Apex Launcher APK, and I would like to change the Homescreen Settings to display the wallpaper as a "Single screen non-scrolling"
Does anyone know which XML file this would be under? And what values should I change to make this happen?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the link.
I have found that the Scrolling Settings for Android are within the Workspace.smali file.
Does anyone know exactly what line of code would need to be changed? There is over 19,000 lines in this file, so anyone that has experiance in this would be amazing, thanks. My only goal is to have the OS start with "Single screen non-scrolling" enabled instead of the "Multi screen scrolling" that is enabled by default.
Ok, so I have uploaded a copy of the Workspace.smali I am working with. I have found references at line 4201, 16220, and 18887 that deal with scrolling and wallpaper dimensions. Could someone look over this and let me know if any of these line are able to be modified to change the scrolling? Thanks.
Apex launcher has this in setting to change wallpaper mode. Why are you trying to modify apk then? Just trying to understand your purpose.

Because I am developing a ROM, and I am trying to learn how to modify smali files to control certain parts of the system, so that I can have preset settings already activated as soon as a ROM is flashed.

It'll be easier for you if you just compiled it from source. It'll also be easier to locate the needed line that would need to be changed.

If you want crt animation that is easy to do just decompile framework-Res.apk and look for bools.XML scroll till you see screen on and screen off animation and change the value from false to true. Recompile and your done. You can change the loading boxes and such inside com.HTC.resources.apk. once you decompile you will see all the. 9pngs and you can mod as you want. Another option for the loading boxes is in the skins...that way you can test them very easily after you mod without having to flash anything.

I'm now running MIUI, and my problem is solved. MIUI is so much better than stuck and I love the customizability of it.
Why all the cm9 "addicts" ignore the question: how to change fonts in cm9??
Install Rom Toolbox or Type Face or any other font changer app you find in the market.
if you want to go hard way, those fonts are under /system/fonts. You can delete one of the fonts (e.g. Roboto or DroidSansFallback) and put your desired font there, then rename the font as exactly as the font you deleted. (don't forget to backup).
All the market apps soft brick the phone they dnt support ics. The problem with system fonts is that there are plenty of fonts in that folder and among them is roboto. Question is, how does system know which font you want to set as default...

Replace it with font of choice, but change filename to match Roboto, etc.

The phone keeps bootlooping if you use those apps and even the dev of the app warns you that it does not work on ivs devices. Is it too hard not to post stuff you have not applied yourself on your phone?
If you just keep bashing those who try to help you, you're going to get nowhere in life.

Hi, is it possible to change background in the notification center on a 4.2.1 ROM? Is there an easy way (like an app) or i must decompile systemui.apk and edit xml files?
Thank you
Nobody?

It's hard to find the correct image, however I won't give up!!
meanwhile, if someone wants to try, this is a zip file with decompiled SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk
What changed with respect to the normal darkbeanjelly?

Nothing. I've just decompiled it, so it's easier if someone wants to analyze it.

You decompile the apk packages, change what you want and recompile.

There is no need to decompile and recompile. You can just copy/paste same named png-s in .apk/res/drawable nodpi or drawable xxhdpi for our device. That works for all apps from factory image.

Recompilation is required to edit things like XML. Signing properly is also important.

Whith respecr dear Lethargy! You don't need to decompile and signing properly stock app. For example: if you want to change almost all of UI, you just have to change images in framework-res.apk. You don' t need to do things mentioned before. When I was on Xperia I made this way too UI look like AOSP as possible.
I think that for noob is enough to know that. But off course, if you are UI designer and developer that isn't enough.

For replacing a .png it might be okay, but in no way are you going to modify anything else that way. Recompiling is the PROPER way to do it.
So in short someone like me I'm out of luck

If your launcher supports it you can hide the navbar then attempt to use something like Zooper Widget to imitate them on the bottom, but other than that, you have to recompile SystemUI.apk.
Wouldn't I need it for when I'm in apps
