Hi guys, Im porting SystemUI from a rom I found to my JB stock rom, I decompiled the app but I cant find the file where is the appareance values of recente apps menu.
I'd appreciate if someone tell me how to change the style of recent apps menu. Thanks
PD: Im sorry for my poor english. I did my best
Not gonna be that easy. The recents apps are. Coded through out the whole system. You will have to rewrite the system ui, framework res as well as a few jar files all in Java code.

I replace my systemUI with root explorer and it changed. Its not a big change, the only difference is the orientation of the recent app menu, but I think it was designed for Hdpi screens , so I want to change values and see if it works , but I dont know which file I have to edit. I have Java and C programming knowledge.
PD: Sorry for my english, its not my native language

Hello people,
I just saw on YouTube that some guy had localized their Android in Ukrainian. Is it possible to do this in other languages and what would I need for this?
Thanks a lot!

You could:
Download system sources (original AOSP or maybe sources of some ROM, if they are available), modify them and build. Very long way - I don't recommend it to you.
Talk to some ROM cooker - you will send him localized strings and he will integrate them into his ROM.
You could also use apktool to decode framework-res.apk file, add new locale, build it and install, but it isn't that good: first - it might add some issues, second - you will have to do it after each ROM update.
Second option is the best, I think.
try this app, for me it works with the latest king MT3G-Slide2G1 ROM

You must create e.g res/values-fr (for French language) directory and place strings.xml file in it - similar to strings.xml in the res/values dir.
You should read about Android apps development.
After decoding the apk I add this to the "res" folder,maybe you can
check if it`s right?
Original framework.apk also attached!
Then,after decoding,I have to build new apk and sign it,right?
Hi
did anyone succed with this? In my case all the languages are existing in framework-res.apk but unfortunately only a few of them are available in the language settings menu. Does anyone have an idea on how the menu is set up?
Android localization tool
You can localize Android apps in up to 200 languages using this localization tool: poeditor.com. Translators will have a great time with it, as it offers various features such as translation memory and automatic translation via Google or Bing. :good:
I am trying to add more fonts, popular microsoft word fonts, and read books with those fonts. I use fbreader app for reading books and the font choice is very limited as is. Can anyone show how to add fonts without rooting the device? Galaxy tab 2 7 Android ice cream sandwich
Decompile the fbreader.apk , change fonts.( Thats if it uses a custom font and is included in the .apk) Recompile / sign , Push to device.

Why not just root and use a custom App to change fonts ( ROM ToolBox Pro for example)? Much easier IMO , but up to you as its your device :laugh:
Read the link below , VERY cool app and most of us have used it and had no problems. Makes your device all "new" in case of warranty issues.

Edit : Is it a free App ? Post a link and I will see if the fonts can be changed

Thanks Sean....Is what a free App?
I heard that fbreader uses whatever fonts thats already on the system?
Sorry I meant is fbreader a free app. Tried to download it via the play store and it says its incompatible with my tab ? SGT2 3110.
Pretty sure you will need root access to alter font settings. If it was in the fbreader.apk I could change them to what ever you wanted. If it uses stock fonts , You would have to change the system font it uses ( just swap the fonts over keeping the same font name so they are referenced in the system )and that would be a system wide change, kinda gets tricky messing with stuff, fun....but tricky
You could , If you had root , decompile system./framework apks and reference new fonts to use. You will need some tools to do this ( All free ) and some knowledge of editing .xml with something like notepad++.
lol Sometimes the easiest way is the best way .......
Can I use my own fonts with FBReader?
Yes. Put your *.ttf and/or *.otf files into Fonts directory on the memory card. Then new fonts will be available in Text section of the preferences dialog.

Hi.
I'd like to add language packs from a stock samsung rom to another samsung rom.
For example take all the languages from EU SGSII LTE and add them to SGSII LTE Skyrocket?
Is there some script or program or a non-time-consuming solution if all the apps (except for carrier bloat) ar the same?
bump?

Add the apk to the app directory in the rom. Just extract the two roms with 7zip and copy it from the rom it's in into the rom you want it in. Zip it up and flash it. Look for system/app.
Edit, if you really meant stock and not from zip's, You're on your own

Deodex stock ROM.
Decompile the framework resources (system/framework/*.apk) and all the stock apps (/system/app/*.apk) from source and target builds.
Copy over all the language files (under eack APK at /res/values-*) to the target build.
Recompile all the framework resources and apps.
You can do it all app-by-app, if you want.
Lots of work.
ROM will grow significantly.
Can't be done without de+recompiling - language resources are XML.

Yes that's what I thought. Do you know if I have to add language entries to the language chooser menu or will they pop up automatically?
Don't know the answer to that one... Sorry. I'd be interested to know that too.

After some searching on the topic of adding languages to roms, batch decompiling of apk's etc i've found lots of useful info. I'll report back when i have anything to show...
sorry if this is in the wrong section
The question is: how to find which framework files are required by an app?
well i am building a rom and i am adding a few apps from stock rom (eg touchwiz Gallery chat on etc)
so i want to know which framework file are utilised by these and oter few apps.

First off using those fonts sizes are pointless.
You will need all framework from the rom you are porting them from. In you example you will have to have all of touchwiz framework files. there are 3 TWframeworks-res, framework-res and lidroid-res apks as well as other lib files needed.
I've been trying to skin my phone and run into a problem I can't seem to theme where the navigation bar is Eg using uccw you can't place nothing or when using docks on launchers it places a rectangle that stops above nav bar. I know with lollipop there is no xposed framework

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
