[Q] How can I link my ListPreference to an actual piece of data in another apk

So, I have edited the CM9 Settings.apk AND SystemUI.apk. I added the following code
Code:
<ListPreference
android:entries="@array/dutchgfx_entries"
android:title="@string/dutchgfx_title"
android:key="dutchgfx_****"
android:summary="@string/dutchgfx_summary"
android:entryValues="@array/dutchgfx_entryvalues" />
to the system_settings.xml.
My list works and appears and I can select my options correctly.
But, I need to link this preference to @color/notification_item_background_color in SystemUI.apk, and I do not know even where to start. If any of you can give em any insight as to how to do this, i'de be very grateful. here is a screenshot of my menu (in case it helps at all)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Shortcut to specific item of "Settings" on homescreen ?

Hi,
I have a LG Optimus 3D (p920) running namless ROM (4.4.4).
I installed "SoftKeyZ Root" to change the Softkeys to Andorid "L".
(I know I can edit the SystemUI.apk in system/priv-app manually)
Now I wonder if its possible via "a shortcut on the homescreen" to do the following :
Enter settings -> Navigation Bar -> check/uncheck 2 checkboxes
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Or maybe using a script, thats tied to a shortcut ? I dont know much about that. :/
Id like to have this "quick option" because some games do not seem to like the softkeys and cut off the screen, so something is missing.
I hope I could explain well enough. =)

Stock icons are bigger than 3rd partry app icons

Hi
Icons of stock applications on Samsung devices with touchwiz and Android 6.0.1 are displayed bigger than icons of 3rd party apps. It is dependent on the "pixel-weight" of the icon, here an example.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I draw a small border, the icon has almost the same size as the stock ones, but if the icon content is filled, touchwiz shrinks the icon. This normalizer is also known on the Nova Launcher, but possible to disable. Is there a way to disable the normalizer on Samsung stock devices? I have root access.
My goal is to create an icon in the shape of the stock icons. I haven even exported the icons of stock application (*.qmg to *.png), which will be shrinked too.
Found the solution in a stock Samsung Application AndroidManifest.xml
You need to add the following line into the <application> tag in the mainfest.
Code:
<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.icon_container.has_icon_container" android:value="true"/>
This works with *.png and *.qmg icons too.

Wind Speed in MIUI Theme

Hello
I try to make cool theme but cant find anywhere how to show correct wind speed.
In miui theme code i use something like this:
<ContentProviderBinder name="weather" uri="content://weather/weather" columns="city_name,weather_type,temperature,wind,description" countName="hasweather">
<Variable name="weather_wind" type="string" column="wind"/>
</ContentProviderBinder>
<Text visibility="#hasweather" format="%s" paras="@weather_wind" />
This only show (example): Northeast,2km/h
Wind direction is always good but speed change from 1-4, but weather app show 11,7km/h
Is any way to fix it? I think i need different weather uri with windspeed column and type(int) not string. But any changes i make dont work.
Thank you

i think if you have a INT variable only can read a integer numbers(not decimal, not string). you need to convert it before, but i think if you like to show a decimal, INT type is the wrong way, you variable contains a decimal numbers.
