Many of the members asked me how did I call another app from settings in this post.
This is a tutorial showing how to do that. You can implement it in any other app as well.
Things required:
1. A settings.apk from any device. (Just for tutorial purpose, can be done on any other app)
2. An apk decompiling/compiling tool (I use apktool)
3. Some icons to make it look better
4. The apk of the app you wanna invoke
And we are ready to rock :victory:
STEP 1:
Decompile settings.apk
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"]apktool if framework-res.apk
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\apktool\framework\1.apk
apktool d -f Settings.apk out
I: Baksmaling...
testI: Loading resource table..
I: Loaded.
I: Loading resource table from
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Loading resource table from
I: Loaded.
I: Decoding values*/* XMLs...
I: Done.
I: Copying assets and libs...[/FONT]
STEP 2:
Open out/res/values/strings.xml
Go to the end of the file and add this code
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"]
<string name="example_settings">Example settings</string>[/SIZE]
You can give any name to the string, just remember it.
STEP 3:
Open out/res/values/xml/settings.xml
Now here you see a lot of xml coding. Every line is for a setting option. Figure out where you want to place the new option. Here we will add option to the end of the code, i.e. the last option
Just above the line
Code:
</PreferenceScreen>
ADD THIS CODE
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"]
<com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen android:title="@string/[COLOR="Lime"]example_settings[/COLOR]" settings:icon="@drawable/[COLOR="SeaGreen"]icon_name[/COLOR]">
<intent android:targetPackage=[COLOR="Magenta"]"it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU"[/COLOR] android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass=[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]"it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU.activity.MainActivity"[/COLOR] />
</com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>[/SIZE]
[/FONT]
HERE'S THE TRICKY PART
Well the green part is the icon name. The icon can be placed in drawable-ldpi or mdpi or hdpi folders. Be sure to paste the same icon name to the green part, excluding the file format(.png).
In the above code, the line
Code:
[COLOR="Lime"]example_settings
[/COLOR] here, "example_settings" is replaced by the name you gave in res/values/strings.xml. (Step2)
Where did we get the values in pink and sky blue
STEP 4:
Decompile third party app
Here, we will use No-Frills CPU for heaven's sake
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"]apktool d -f nofrills.apk cpu[/SIZE]
[/FONT]
Don't worry if errors, we just want AnrdoidManifest.xml
STEP 5:
Open the AndroidManifest.xml of third party app
Find the code
Code:
[FONT="Courier New"][COLOR="RED"] package= [/COLOR][/SIZE]
[/FONT]
Mostly on the first line.
After =, whatever is in quotes is your package name. This is what is your pink text in settings.xml (step3).
Copy and paste it as it is
Again in AndroidManifest.xml, find the main activity name. Mostly developers name main activity as Main or MainActivity. You will find it as
Code:
".activity.MainActivity"
in this case.
Copy it and in settings.xml, the text in sky blue is the main activity name. It should be written as
Code:
[Color="Magenta"]package name[/color] MainActivity name
So we get
Code:
it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU.activity.MainActivity
This is your sky blue text in settings.xml (step3)
Copy and paste it as it is
STEP 6:
Compile Settings.apk
Code:
apktool b out
I: Checking whether sources has changed...
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Building apk file...
STEP 7:
Pre-Final step
Perform the following steps
Code:
Open the folder "out" or the one you compiled in
Go to build/apk/
Copy "[color="red"]res[/color]" and "[color="red"]resources.arsc[/color]"
Open stock Settings.apk with 7zip
Paste res folder and resources.arsc here. (overwrite)
STEP 8:
Push settings.apk
Copy modified settings.apk on sdcard
Connect mobile and enable usb debug. Don't connect in usb storage mode
Using adb, insert the code
Code:
[Size="2"]
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
busybox cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app/
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Thats it. If you have any problems, post here.

Good Job.
Can you include a tutorial for hiding this(or any other) app from app drawer as well ?
That'll be beneficial too.

I know what you did there LOL.
Jokes apart, I will surely try. Post if succeeded
Yes, definitely would be a plus..i wanna hide some apps from drawer too..like no frills shortcut with evo rom
if u wanna remov any app icon from app drawer then just decompile that app and edit its android manifest file..
you ll find this code
<category
android:name="android.intent.category
.LAUNCHER" />
just remove these lines and recompile and install that app..
and that app will get hide frm app drawer

to hide app from drawer, search this on manifest of app that would be hidden
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
then, LAUNCHER replace with DEFAULT

Is it possible that this could just not work at some points? Tried while it was a normal app, even converted to system app and it just doesn't work.
And no, I haven't inserted the codes wrongly, a few weeks ago I did this without any problems but it just doesn't seem to work for a particular app. Any idea of the causes?
EDIT: Problem solved.

My i9000 has a slight issue in displaying greys and the settings menu and any other app that uses it look awful on my phone.
All I want to know is the location the background is stored so I can change it to an all black background. I've asked this question in many different threads and no one had answered me yet. So many thanks to whoever tells me.

It will most probably be in framework-res.apk in /system/framework/
I'm not sure about ICS, but in my ancient version it's in framework-res.apk
/res/drawable-mdpi/default-wallpaper.png
You may have it in different screen resolutions.
Are you talking about the homescreen background?
You could always just do it the 'old fashioned' way..
Open paint (or similar)
Create a canvas the size of your phone resolution, paint all black. Save as a file and add to your phone. Change background using the menus and pick your black file.
Would probably take less time than pulling, inserting, and pushing framework-res. And you'd have the file on your sd card to re-apply should you do any updates (you'd need to modify framework-res again, unless the rom update didn't require changes and you could flash the old framework-res)

Oh! Then what you need is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk,
but the part you want is in /res/values/styles.xml
That has all the default theme, "Theme".
The theme for settings inherits off that, maybe "Theme.Dialog"
All of that references specific style elements and colors in /res/values/colors.xml

Decompile framework-res.apk using apktool then open the decompiled folder.
In res/drawable, most of the background XMLs are stored. Search for one that holds the background details. However, it won't be easy. I suggest u ask a recognized themer to help u, or use the UOT kitchen
Ok I've found the png file. It's in res/drawable-nodpi/background_holo_dark.png
An older version of the rom I'm using had an all black image, so I'll use that png file to replace the current one.
Now do I have to simply change the image to the all black one or is out more complicated than that?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I've also found the xml in;
res/drawable/activated_background_holo_dark.xml
Will changing the line <item state_activated="true" to <item state_activated="false" disable the png file, forcing it to change to all black?

Now that u know where it is, take a black PNG and add it to the archive of framework-res so that u wont have to recompile and sign the apk. Just make sure u get the correct folder.
And don't touch the XML. Just replace the png

How do I add it to the archive of framework-res.apk? I assume you have to copy the apk to a PC and add it by winzip or something? I'm using root explorer to view it atm.

U can overwrite it using root explorer. However I use adb.

I tried that on a theme update.zip for my rom, it wouldn't let me edit the contents of the zip for some reason.
I used root explorer rather than adb and the phone rebooted straight away and wouldn't get past the boot screen...
This is a quick dev guide to enable navigation bar for S4. Tested on I9505 but should work here also.
Decompile SystemUI.apk go to res/values/drawables and add:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>
Now download attached files and copy files to corresponding folders in SystemUI.apk if folder does not exist(drawables-xhdpi) create it.
Compile SystemUI.apk and push to device (nothing will happen yet) Just to check device boots fine.
Now use any buil.prop editor and add line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You can also enable it now through framework-res method.
Reboot and your done.

No that doesnt work. Says systemUI has stopped. I remember that from last time and tried again through rom toolbar
can i use this method on 4.3 rom?
Maybe this should help....

[Tutorial] Making your own Android App
Actually it’s not actually making! You can say it Modding..
So let’s start!
Necessary Tools
-APKTOOL
-Notepad++
-Respect
-An Apk to work with
At first decompile a apk by Apktool.. Then
Find These files
-> res
->smali
->apktool.yml
->androidmanfiest.xml
Now open apktool.yml and search for these lines
Apk file name- Snigdho.apk
PackageInfo
Cur_package: com.bel.android.snigdho
Orig_Package: com.bel.android.snigdho
For Example change them to:-
Apk file name- XaynoUI.apk
PackageInfo
Cur_package: com.xaynoui.app
Orig_Package: com.xaynoui.app
Now save it and open AndroidManfiest.xml
And search for these lines
package="com.bel.android.snigdho "
Change it to for Example
package="com.bel.android.xayno "
Now open smali>com>snigdho
And rename “snigdho” to “xayno
It will look like "com.xayno.app
And save
Your Package Name is Changed
Now to change app name open AndroidManfiest.xml and search for these lines –
<application android:label =”@string/appname” android:name= “.SnigdhoApplication”
Rename It to –
<application android:label=”Xayno” android:name= “.SnigdhoApplication”
And save!
Now open res>values>strings.xml
And Search for these lines –
string name="app_name">Snigdho</string>
Rename it to for example
- string name="app_name">Xayno</string>
And save!
Now if you want to customize it open res>drawable nodpi and there you will see some pngs customize them as your will.
Now recompile and Sign The apk! But don’t do App stealing because none of us support this!

I guess for language change needs a expert in language and you need to go find change it at different places or write some code to take text based on language.
