I dabble in some programming, taking it in college now, but have little experience with linux and the like, so I don't know where to go from here. I found the files, I think, to modify so that the AOSP lockscreen will work. Found keyguard xml files in \system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\layout. Pretty sure these are the right files, as the images for the sliders is in this apk as well. And I know from a logcat that keyguard is what it's opening for the lockscreen. Only problem is, can't seem to view or edit these xml's in a readable format... tried three different editors. About to reboot into linux and try it there, maybe I'll have better luck. But thought I would ask here where there are people FAR more knowledgeable than I.

They are in a binary format. I opened them in dreamweaver, and it still wasn't fully readable/able to be edited. you can use this to decode them to readable format, but I have NO CLUE how to get them back.

Use the AXMLPrinter2.jar to convert the XML files to a Text Readable format. Unfortunately, to modify the files, you need to use a Hex Editor to do any updates. I havn't seen any utilities that will read/write the binary XMLs, just read.

I haven't had the time to look into this yet, but... Since the lock screen works fine in Darch's AOSP build, could it just be a matter of switching out the xmls?
Just an idea.

WOW, if that's all it takes, someone should try it lol
I mean, it couldn't be thaat easy, could it?
Doesn't it work on the Eris leak?
let me see what's there under the eris builds
Well I'm headed to class now, and have to study for a big big test tomorrow later, but I might find time, if someone doesn't beat me to it. Now I'm not all that familiar with the framework, but its just a brainstorm. And if the one in the eris leak works, then that xml probably has an even better chance playing well with the sprint build, I assume.
hey... you can view and edit the xml on the phone with root explorer after you extract them. Then just copy to pc to rezip
also, when rezipping an apk, using 7zip, is there a particular setting? compression level, method, etc.
I know there is one for iPhone, but has anyone anywhere began working on or possibly have one already finished for Android?
I'm seriously willing to pay.
I just need to figure out why my save file isn't showing up.

It doesn't if you copy the save file then place it on a new flashed rom.
Checksum fails.
However, if you restore data with Titanium backup, it does work.
I was directed here from another forum saying I should ask here about keyboard files. I have been looking, and even searched on google and didn't have any luck. I was curious where the keyboard files are located on my phone? Is there a certain way I need to get to the files, if so please state. Thanks and I'd highly appreciate any help.
From a computer with ADB:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/LatinIME.apk
That is the APK file that is the keyboard. Hope this is what you were looking for.
It may be, I'm not sure. I guess there is only one way to find out.
I guess my thing is, I wanted to see if there was a way to change the button colors and font style and what not. I guess we'll find out.
If this isn't the way to do it, please let me know before I go into it and it's not what I need to edit or look at. Thanks.
The LatinIME.apk is where you'll find the images for the keyboard. The keyboard is an application, that's how new ones can get installed, so treating it like a normal APK you can edit the files in it and rezip the apk and it should work.
Thanks, I appreciate you letting me know that. I will do some more research to figure out some more about how to do adb stuff. Again thanks.
The apn type and adding dun to it use to work.... I made a thread on it about a year ago. I'm still able to get my msl code but all the apns are greyed out and you can't edit any of them now. It was great having a working HOTSPOT!
With that said.........
So far I have found the apn-conf.xml in the /system folder. I can edit and save with no problem...... now in that file at the top it say it must match the res/common/xml/apn.xml or something very similar to that.
It took me awhile to find this file but I have FOUND IT!!! (If you use apk editor and select the 2nd option to view system files/apks). Look for servicemode.apk and browse that .apk, in the /res/xml folder you will find the apns.xml file!!! I found a few good files like apn-editor.xml and apn-settings.xml in the settings apk.
I downloaded APK Editor in the play store and started poking around. The file is a system all called servicemode.apk, if you decompile the file and check the res folder and look in the xml folder TADA, YOU WILL FIND THE APNS.XML file....... so that's as far as I have got. When viewing this APN.XML file I can't figure out how to edit it to match the system/apns-conf.xml file.
Now in the apk editor you can view the strings or files..... I used the file option and looked at all the strings..... they can be edited.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! I looked thru the settings and service mode til all also so I'm getting confused and maybe a fresh pair of eyes and a clear mind can help figure this out. I been trying along time now!
Ben trying to upload my screen shot but no luck....... when I get to my laptop I will surely upload them...... with root explorer I all found the apk modemservicemode.apk in system/priv-app which contains a apn.xml file also...... PLEASE ALL HELP IS GREAT.
Am I on to something here or not? Wasting my time??? Let me kno what you think
Anyone find a way around to making the HOTSPOT unlimited??? I'm on a tight income and would love to be able to watch Netflix and use my Chromecast but can't afford cable and internet at the moment. I know boost has the 8gig hotspot already and a promo for a 20gig HOTSPOT but having a 11 year old son playing Xbox one online constantly....... don't last long. In my first HOTSPOT thread it was so simple just adding dun. I have a month to month plan 60$ just to be specific for others. I do believe min phones and pay as you go might be different. I can only speak for me and my device. Please any insight on these apn files that I been finding is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Just want to throw you a thanks for trying to get the hotspot figured out... I've been looking all over the place to try to find someone that has it working with no luck... So again, THANK YOU for getting started on trying to make the J727P hotspot available... Keep up the good work and I have faith in you my dude... I'm sure someone can get this figured out...
wifi tether apk
dont waste time with apn's. spend $2.50 on wifi tether router in play store. works perfect except torrenting still cuts out at 8gb
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help.
I'll try to explain - I updated my phone last year and I used one of these apps to send all my files to my new phone etc etc.
And I noticed within the photo gallery I had two whatsapp image, and video folders. I didnt really think too much about it at the time.
But within the last few days I have now lost the old folder and within the gallery and everything that was in it.
I have tried to use es file explorer to find the other photos/videos but it would appear they have gone.
Something has obviously tidied/deleted them somehow, but I dont know what.
Any ideas how I might be able to get them back?
Thanks in advance
