Hi, I decompiled the Launcher on the galaxy s5 and I extracted this file so that the most 'experts can tell which files (lib or framwork) are used to make this launcher on galaxy i9505 ...
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/17j83mq77uz28dk/AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-library android:name="touchwiz"/>
<uses-library android:name="sws"/>
<meta-data android:name="android.nfc.disable_beam_default" android:value="true"/>
<meta-data android:name="rcpFileCopier" android:value=""/>

Also search for lib or .so in notepad++ it will tell you what libs it needs
nop
Is it possible also to i9500
Yes it is do the same thing. We can use I9500 launcher on I9505 so just do the same thing.
Get deodex version of the system dump or deodex it yourself.
Decompile the apk and look for needed libs in the androidmanifest.
(sws & touchwiz is in framework folder)
Now open up notepad++ and search for lib or .so files.
There's is possibility that it uses some new files due to its "magazine" feature oh and you might need magazine as well. Can't tell right now sorry.

-do what you wanna do, i'm not responsible for anything happen because of this file.

Can you post the edited file (Source)
because i have already edited the framework file so i cant replace it
i just pull framework-res.apk and extract it,
edit bool.xml in framework-res\res\values\bool.xml
and change value config_animateScreenLights to false
and compile again
that's it bro

if you are using XXKP9, then just use my file, i've do it for you bro

you are using apk manager aren't you?
when extracting done, in your apk manager folder, you will find a folder named projects. in this projects folder you will find framework-res\res\values\bool.xml

yes i noticed that too
don't know why because i only edit one file
maybe apk manager (which compiling files into .apk) is the cause.

If this can be ported for the XXKB3, You sir are my hero. I want this so damned bad! GB is so dry! No themes makes it horrible to use :\ I hope in the future devs that Samsung will add the option to apply your own themes flawlessly and an option to select specific features. [CRT, Overglow]

Some said, this effect is hardcoded into the gingerbread itself.I don't think it will be easy to port Electron Beam Effect(this is how it named by android).

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.
Please hit thanks and give credits.
There is no values folder in res.

I have found this but when I click it the installation window opens. So should I proceed there? Please if you could add a few more steps to explain then noobs like us will be able to follow.

ok now i know we have to use apktool etc. Most people couldnt get it working so what would be the best tool?

Wonder how to do it if my rom is odexed ?
I dont think this thread is supported anymore
WOW!
This worked exceptionally well on my T-Mobile GS4 (M919).
I'll slip a thanks your way!
Please can you give details step by step for apks to use to compile and decompile etc for us simple people who want the navigation keys.
Thanks
Use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195680
For odexed rom don't care about odex file as you won't need to change smali files.

Add this to the end of the build.prop file in system/
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You have to use an alternate launcher though, but it works.

This used to work very well with S3 but did not work on i9500 S4. I'll try again.
I dont know how I changed permission but on S4 its showing read only and does not take changes . Can you please guide as to how you changed to read-write for build prop
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....

or maybe this, (this one is for ics but refer to the decompilation and recompilation using apk tool)

Only de- and recompiling will not really lead to anything.
You have to solve each error here step by step. And as you can see there are many entries missing when recompiling against a framework from a different device and/or Android version.
This means that resolving the missing entries (like simply deleting them in each file) won't help because even if the recompile succeeds it will never run because of errors in the dependencies of the apk etc..
you should specify where you've changed
Tried almost everything but i cant get it working. Also tried VRTheme ZIP but it doesnt work too, it doesn't recognize the 9.png files and show the UI stretched... This is not my work, its for Not-i, Majdinj, Zai89 and other amazing themers for this amazing device (sorry if i forgot other users). I've seen it in S2 forums (Themes and Themed roms too) with the TW2013 UI for 4.1.2 so i dont think it will be very hard to an experienced themer. Thanks for the support. Good Luck to everyone!
You are compiling a a 4.2.2-based apk file with 4.1.2 installed framework, if you see in another thread they must have same version or it is themed apk file.
Can just use X-plore open apk as zip file n copy all the themes but not xml to another apk open as zip file.
not much changes wif just a framework.res.apk n options is alittle too small to fit it..
so no point to make a mod just framework.res.apk
@galaxynote2
The pictures in the attachment aren't useful!
If you want to change the png's, then take them from the original apk out!
Don't decompile it!
So, never use 9.png's from decompiled apk!
Try it again with the 9.png's from the original apk. Just copy them from the apk to your new one. Don't decompile it.
If you try to add some 9.png (from decompiled source), then they looks ugly with the vrtheme system...
(and can't build it with apktool too...)
@tkari4 thank you for the answer! I will try again now..

Not working, sorry never made something like that.
The solution for your problem:
Install the 4.2 framework-res.apk (command in the CMD window: apktool if c:/framework-res.apk)
Now decompile your 4.2 framework-res.apk
From the decompiled folders you can add the 9.png's to your 4.1 farmework-res.apk
Install the 4.1 framework-res.apk again
Build your apk and so must work...

@tkari4 some progress (attached files). That is my result putting the non-decompiled images in a vr-theme:
Popups are still bugged, 9.png resizing doesnt worked.
Action bars themes (Holo Light and Holo Dark) are now working!
Almost all buttons, checks and ticks are now converted and working.
What to do:
Fix the bugged popups
Convert Text fields (wich are 9.png too so its the same as the popups problems...)

Use Advanced APK Tools for decompiling the APK files and you can also use the Attached Dex Editor to edit classes.dex files.....
Advanced APK tools is specially made for Xperia devicex. (use your "framework-res.apk" to install firmware in Advanced APK Tools)
(Drag and drop classes.dex in "Quick-Baksmali.cmd" to decompile and drag and drop the output folder is "Quick-Smali.cmd" to recompile.
