WHY WOULD I WANT THE BOX?
Want people to stop asking you for updates and mods you've already uploaded? Want a polite way to let users know how to donate to you?? Tired of thread clutter with people asking repeatedly for certain download links or theme threads? Want to have an app that showcases all of your work in one place? Have ROMs on more than one device and still want an app that can link people to what they need? Include this lightweight app that gives your ROM/theme users instant access to your updates, fixes, themes, ROMs, tutorials, etc., as soon as you upload. No additional service setup is required. Keep using whatever file hosting service you already use (i.e. AndroidFileHost, Dev-Host,your own, whatever).
WHAT IS THE BOX?
This is a simple app for ROM developers and themers and modders to collect their work into one app to share. You can include it in any of your custom ROM builds or projects, for example, or use it as a theme collection, or use it in some other way. Download and install the APK file attached to this OP and see for yourself. It has dummy images and filler text in the layouts. You can apktool/theme/modify this app pretty much however you want, with only a few exceptions as noted below.
CAN I SEE A VERSION OF THE BOX ALREADY IN USE?
Yeah. I have one on the Play Store for the Wicked X ROM series. Check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.erikalin.box1. Don't theme that one, obviously, or your users with get Play Store updates for the wrong project, but it's a working example with over 3000 installs and many happy users.
WHAT DOES THE TEMPLATE LOOK LIKE?
The attached template APK file comes will "dummy" images and filler text, and contrasting colors so you can easily see what you are editing.
AREN'T THERE MORE COMPREHENSIVE APPS LIKE OTA UPDATERS?
Yes. The Box is intentionally simple. If you want something more complex just go use something more complex or make your own app. This is made simple so that you can easily theme and customize it for yourself.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO GET THIS UP AND RUNNING?
Given a learning curve for planning out what you want to put into The Box? It might take you an hour to "learn" and then whatever time you need to make up your images for your stuff, decide on what you want to include, etc.
WHAT YOU NEED TO PUT TOGETHER FOR YOURSELF:
- a total of seven links you want to put into The Box (XDA threads, folders on Android File Host or whatever, links to online tutorials or something, your own paypal donation link, etc.)
- the seven images (440w X 200h) you want to use for those seven links (image buttons)
- your own app icon (you can just use the demo icon but you should make your own)
- five navigation drawer icons (90 X 90)(the little icons inside the app's navigation drawer)
- the text you want to include to welcome users, give credits, explain steps, etc.
- a background image for inside the app
- Watch the detailed youtube demo video
WHAT YOU CAN EDIT AND THEME:
Anything except what is noted below. So edit the rest of the text strings, text colors, background image, button images, navigation drawer icons, app icon, and of course direct all the links to your stuff.
WHAT YOU CANNOT EDIT OR REMOVE:
The app name.
The "About The Box" fragment - title, ic_frag5.png, text strings for the About fragment. Just leave the "About The Box" stuff alone and don't rename my app.
WHAT YOU CANNOT DO:
Put this on the Play Store - one template, one package name, no play store.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE DONE:
Post a link on this thread to where you are using The Box. You don't need to ask for permission, but please post a link so I can keep track of where it is in use. Screenshots are welcome but not required.
WHERE IS THE BOX FROM 2014:
There is a way more simple version of The Box on my old thread. There is even a "two button" version, so like one button to your downloads or XDA thread and the other button to your paypal donation link, for example. Find the old, more simple versions of templates here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2777472
If you have questions, post them in this thread for sure. ... okay? I think that's everything for now.
Directions:
Download the latest template attached to this OP (version 4.1 is the latest)
Decompile.
Theme and mod to be yours by replacing dummy images with your own, and putting in your URLs
Watch the youtube video. I made it pretty thorough and it should answer most questions. :good:
changelog
version 4.0 initial release with navigation drawer layouts. Older versions in the old thread.
version 4.1 added "Exit" button by request. Version 4.1 is otherwise the same as version 4.0.
How to enable the Donation feature in The Box
You cannot copy-paste the donation link from XDA, you need to get your direct paypal donation URL. The template APK file has my paypal donation info in it. If you want to support my work, feel free to drop me a donation. Remove it or edit it to be for yourself before sharing your app though. Here is how:
1. Go to paypal maybe like here.
2. Choose "Create your button now"
3. In the code box that you get, click the tab for "email" to get just the URL, as opposed to "website" which gives you html code for a form button. You should see something similar to what's below, where you can see I'm highlighting what I need to copy for this purpose. Dat's it. Use that URL and you'll have a donate feature in The Box.
thats very cool idea,i test it for sure.thanx.
Going to check this out over the weekend. Looks awesome and nice work. Miss seeing you in the threads back in my S3 days.
thank you @erikalin my Box is almost ready.
I have only one question how can i simply add exit button ?

Howdy. Glad you're using this. Android apps aren't supposed to have exit buttons, not since the early days... just back buttons. Why would you want an exit button anyway though? Just curious.

Hi there, stranger. Yeah, check it out. It's extremely simple. Didn't you used to use the "hub" app thing in your projects? It's along those lines, just using the file host places you already use (so it's easier)...

Ah. I could look at that. Honestly, at this moment I have a total of now three "thanks" on the OP of this thread, so I hadn't really thought about improvements, lol. Generally, I don't share things that aren't near perfect. If anyone is actually going to use this, I'll tidy it up. Okay...
Tell me something and I'll look into it. Which would you prefer:
A. functioning as it is right now
B. back button *closes the app* straight away, which means you use the navigation drawer to navigate inside the app, and reopen the app when you forget that rule (you know some cheap games just go this route - annoying but quick)
C. back button creates a toast ("pop up message") asking to Confirm to Exit or Cancel to return to app. Then reminder to use the navigation drawer and not the back button.
Your thoughts? I'll do something, but would benefit from input.

I really don't know why peapole don't use your box. I think it's really cool and great idea! I think the best idea to add exit button on the right top where is "Hi" action. Pop message with confirm or back will be great too. Take your time and thank you once again for this great app. I love it

Okay guys, at the suggestion/request of Konikub, who was told this couldn't be done, I, "Team LoneWolf" , decided to crack open the stock HTC Messaging application (Mms.apk), in order to investigate the possibility of inverting / applying a "dark theme" to the application.
It seems this has not been done before, and upon initial investigation, I can see why. Many of the HTC Sense applications share common resources (themes, styles, icons, etc), stored in com.htc.resources.apk. So, if you attempt to modify something used by Mms.apk, but stored in com.htc.resources.apk, you are going to unwittingly modify the appearance of other applications, and if other corresponding elements are not adjusted in those applications as well, you are going to have problems.
So, things that are "challenging" are the things I like to try and tackle, and inverting this application was a tough cookie, requiring extensive edits, in some cases to "undo" references to items stored / defined in com.htc.resources.apk, and rather, make them stand alone directly within Mms.apk. This required major edits to XML, Styles, Colors, local .pngs, and Smali/Java code. You wouldn't think simply themeing an app would require all of this, but Mms.apk did.
Essentially, what this mod has done, for the most part, is flip most text that was black, and made it white, and most backgrounds that were white, and made them black (inverted), giving you a bit more visual interest, as opposed to the stock "white" look.
For those running a dark theme on their phone, who prefer to use the stock messaging app (I use Handcent, lol), this should fit the bill nicely. Again, thanks to Koni-man for the "nudge" / "coaxing" to take a look at this.

Flash the attached (HtcMms.zip) via recovery. Also, let me know if I missed anything. It is certainly possible, as there are so many menu options / tasks that can be done, that I may have overlooked.
EDIT: MetaMorphs attachments added (morph_*.zip), to modify the default 'tap to compose' area from gray (shown in screen caps above), to black (screen capture), and another to return the application icon in the app drawer to stock color. DO NOT ATTEMPT to flash these. They must be applied using MetaMorph, AFTER you FIRST flash from recovery the original mod (HtcMms.zip). After applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.

Indeed, he's a good guy. Honestly, if someone else came to me for help on this one, especially since I use Handcent (currently, I may switch now too!), I probably would have ignored the request. But, I always like to help Koni out when possible .
Very sweet I am downloading now
Might you be able to customie other apps like this? Like making the stock HTC music app and People app all black. That would make Sense even more epic.

Just flashed I like but needs a few details.
1. It changes the message icon at the top notification bar default.
2. Make the "Tap to Compose" section black with white like the rest.
3. Make the main message icon default color not blacked out.
Other than that very good work!!

Wow, JS. Nice. I want to use this, but question. Does this include any of the mods that were put into it from Calkulin. More specifically, the compression fix and 5MB limit fix. It's fine if it doesn't. They're just good to have.

I modded this from a stock Mms.apk. I'm not familiar with the details of the mods Calkulin did, but I assumed they were to the framework, as opposed directly to the .apk. I'll have to look, as, honestly, until now, I've never really used the HTC Messaging app.
BTW, I'll probably knock out a few MetaMorphs shortly, with some "other" preferences, such as the mentioned black "tap to compose" area. I did it that way initially, but didn't like it. It looked like too much black to me and made it hard to differentiate the compose versus non-compose areas. I'll probably also do a MM to restore the stock application icon. I wanted to darken it to denote it is a changed / darkened version of the app.
Thanks been wanting this for a while. I knew you was going to give us something cool you was too quiet.
You are the man.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Okay, FYI, I've attached 2 MetaMorphs to the end of the OP based on preference.
The first MetaMorph will change the "tap to compose" area from the modded gray in the OP, to black for those who prefer it, as shown below:
The second MetaMorph simply returns the application icon in the app drawer to stock white.
Note, after applying using MetaMorph, you will need to, at a minimum, issue a Hot Restart, for the application to re-appear in the app drawer. It will disappear after applying the MetaMorph, and re-appear after a restart.

After just getting around to installing your rotary unlock mod, I am loving this!
Only problem is I can't install it. I go into the recovery menu, choose install from zip and then confirm, I get an error.
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and updater-binary) to create working update .zip packages.
Any ideas why I get this error? I haven't changed anything since I installed the rotary lockscreen. Maybe switching to Amon recovery?

Very impressive app. Thank you for making it and great eye for aesthetics!
A bug I am having on my device: (CM7, 800x480, default DPI, Droid Sans changed to the Roboto font that was extracted from ICS)
Very nicely implemented, love the swipeable list at the top.
I often end up adding long lists of numbers, so it's important to see that they are all there
However, if you add a really long list, more than one row of numbers, you can't see clearly the number that you are inputting. Could that box resize automatically - or better, show just the last row inputted as well as the latest number?

The text cut-off on 480x800 devices should be fixed by this weekend. The emulator shows it looking totally fine, and the SGS2 we test it on looks good (though other SGS2 owners have told us of the same issue).
Thanks a lot for all the help, I hope the app comes in useful for you.

Bahh, this drives me nuts. I can't figure out why it shows incompatible with certain phones (not models; for instance, it'll be compatible with some SGS2s but not others) and only on the market (apk works fine). Do you have any ROMs installed? Still, I don't know why that would make a difference. I gotta make a post on xda about it or something :/.

From the threads I'm reading, if you set your ROM to custom dpi (pixel density) it has that affect with some apps on the market. Will keep reading into it..
If you do have a moment I would appreciate if you can rate my free app, each rating really helps a lot.

I'd be happy to rate it and provide feedback on the Market but I'm not able too.
I installed the apk though and so far everything seems to be working fine.
A couple of suggestions though:
Change Mortgage to Loan Repayments and provide a bit more flexibility. For example, the ability to choose the loan type from 1 year upwards or alternatively allow for custom input so I can type in whatever I want.
It would also be good to have an additional payments input. So you would enter you total loan amount, interest, loan type, then by inputting additional payments ($50 a week for example) it will tell you how many months and/or years you would save as well as a dollar amount.
This would cater not only for Mortgages but Personal Loans as well. If this kind of functionality was added I'd seriously consider buying it for this purpose alone.
The calculator looks good but I think it needs to follow the same basic look of any calculator with the + - X and / running down the right hand side. Having them at the top throws you off a little.
The ability to rearrange or select which tabs you want to appear at the top. Tipping and Currency are pointless for me so being able to remove them from view would be good.
A fantastic calculator overall though. Love the ICS look/theme to it. Easy to follow and read. When I can install it from the Market I definitely will.

Well, I'm new to theming but I have heavy knowledge of using Photoshop and i thought I'd share a very nice feature that WILL save you hours of work!
So, you know when you want to change the look of well over 200 battery icons? Recoloring them or what ever you would feel to do, would take maybe 4 or 5 hours? Maybe 3 if your fast and know exactly what your doing.
Anyways, this Guide is to you take 30 seconds and have all changed!
First off, Have all the Icons that you want to recolor in one folder! (Perfectly on Desktop), and then an "Edit Icons" Folder.
{
"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"
}
Next, Open Photoshop.
Open ONE of the unedited Icons!
Next, go to Window>Actions.
Now at this point select the Default Actions Layer within the Actions window and expand it.
Next, click the new tab button within the Actions window and Create a name like "Icon Recoloring". Just something specific to your task.
Then, once you hit record, Photoshop will start to record your tasks. Only tasks that modify the image.
So at this point make your edits. A simple edit for wanting to change the color, go to Image>Adjustments> Hue and Saturation. I set mine to +100, which made my screen battery into a cyan or bright blue, what ever you would like to call it.
After you make your changes, click the stop button at the bottom of the actions window. (Do not save this icon you just recolored)
Next, you go to File>Automate>Batch and a window will pop up.
You need to set the correct settings.
Under the "Set:" section, select "Default Actions".
For "Action:" select the Action you created. (For me it was Icon Recoloring).
What you do at this point for the Source section, is select the folder containing the UNEDITED ICONS. Ignore the check boxes.
Next you choose your Destination Folder where you want the edited icons to go.
Once you do this, click "OK". Your Photoshop will kind of flicker as its rapidly opening, and recoloring the icons and placing them in the destination folder. The icons will be the same color as before in your Photoshop window but they will be the color you want in the Destination Folder.
andddd that's all to it! Remember that the action you create will be placed to every image you have selected. so please avoid specific icon edits!
Hit thanks if this was helpful!

Im 90% sure Gimp and Greenfish Icon Editor Pro can only do tiny plain signals lol. Photoshop is easier and doesn't take to long. Go find a cracked version or a student version or something and your set.
Great tutorial man, thanks!

Install imagemagick
Code:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
Get the hue you want (should already know) and run it against a folder of images:
Command:
Code:
for x in `ls |grep png`; do convert $x -modulate 100,100,50 -alpha off icon.png -compose CopyOpacity -composite PNG32:output.png; mv output.png $x.png; done
This command will also save the alpha layer of the png. Plus you just saved yourself a trip to windows land, a bunch or money, or downloading and using illegal software.
I can do this too, can I open my own thread in development as well? This belongs in themes and apps.
Incorrect, How To and Guides go in Development, and it aids in development. Its also for Information purposes. Stop trolling XD A lot of people have Photoshop already for what ever purpose.

While some what true this Section of the 4G Department says "Sprint HTC EVO 4G Android software development"
This would belong more in the Themes & Application as it refers to that subject matter more appropriately. Yes How To And Guides do go here but that only applies to Mod How To's and Rom How To's. Lithid is not Trolling just stating the Facts.

Intentions are only half of it. Can't get a job with good intentions alone. Sorry. In order for development to continue, things need to be in their rightful place. When someone comes to the site looking for development they shouldn't be seeing guides on how to batch hue some files. Is it helpful, yes. Is it development? Nope. Doesn't belong here. If that is trolling, then you should look up the definition.

Ok guys its seriously trolling now. If a mod sees it as appropriate to move, then they will. End of story. Theming is changing a ROMs preset look that the developer made. This guide helps themers and developers. Developers when it comes to images and icons. No reason for this to become a war.

That is very true, I used to love coming here to see what stuff the devs had come up with for the best device I've ever had the honor to own.
But now when I read a thread I have to waste so much time reading posts that amount to nothing more than pissing matches that it's become pointless.
It's truly a shame. Part of the beauty of open source is being able to share knowledge and developments that not only teaches us more about our devices but also builds a real community of like minded individuals.
Android is made for people that like to challenge themselves. If we just wanted a gadget we could've gotten iPhones. Instead because of the community we have devices that Apple has to build a whole new phone to compete with. (Don't tell me y'all don't dig that )
But it's hard to learn anything when your attacked because your trying to learn more.
To quote Uncle Ben: "with great power comes great responsibility."
Not the opportunity to treat somebody like garbage.

Hey guys, I have been working hard on my app, Notif, for a few months now and I decided to make a page for discussion. You can talk about anything related to the app, including requests, bugs, or any other comments.
It is an app for Jelly Bean that allows you to create rich notifications for your device. 4.1 introduced expandable notifications, which I'm sure you all know about already. Notif leverages that and blends your own content with rich notifications to create sort of a note/reminder/list app for your notification shade. There are three types of notifications you can create: text, picture, and list. Each of these are expandable just like a long text message, a screenshot, or new e-mails. See what you can do with Notif for yourself!
Notif requires Android 4.1 or above.
Notif
Notif Pro
Notif Pro features:
Notification editing
All 200 icons!
Unlimited Notif History
Create notifications from other apps
QuickNotif - create/clear notifications from anywhere on your phone
Lots more to come
Right now, I am working on these fixes:
[ ]Better resolution for camera images
[ ]Nexus 7 picture bug
[ ]Get image from other sources (Dropbox, Drive, etc.)
-----Links-----
Notif changelog
Notif Community on Google+
Follow Notif on Twitter (main source for updates, info, etc.)

I love the app. I've been using it for a few months now.
I recommend everyone buy the pro version and show your support to this developer. He is quick to respond to any questions/messages sent and has produced a great application.
If nothing else, take a minute to say thanks as this is someone who taken the time to develop a quality application for the phones and platform we enjoy so much.
Keep up the great work. I hope you stay inspired to not only continue developing this application, but developing others in the future as well.

Hey guys, quick update. I just got out of school so I have a ton of extra time to work on the app. First I'll be catching the free version up with the Pro in terms of UI tweaks and settings and fixes, etc. Then I'm fixing the reboot issue.
I also created a Notif Community on Google+ so join if you'd like!
Thanks
Nice work. Just went into the market and looked over your app. Haven't tried it yet but plenty of ideas where this could be useful and on that note, I purchased your app. My wife who loves Cherrywine (in the picture) is amused by your Soda app and the look/clean development look/style of the app gave me the solid impression to begin with. Call it an impulse purchase.

I like the idea of this app, but I don't see any mention of how these notifications are triggered. Are they all manual triggers?

Right now, they are. In the future, I hope to add an alert feature where the user will be able to add a custom time for the notification to appear.
Nice work man. Will give this a try
will the reminders lost after reboot?
I'm not sure if any of you are like me but I've got an app for basically everything. I've got apps for things that I barely ever do, but when I do, I have it. I keep everything well organized. Tabbed launcher app drawer, folders, and so forth. It's set up so perfect to my liking.
Sometimes I'm not sure about where/how I need to execute a function. For instance, being a general contractor and things are yelled, told, and asked through out my day where I've got to remember these things, much of it on a timely manner. I could load up Catch Notes which is my goto app for all things Notes. I could just use my Calender to place it in the correct date 'said item' is due/needed. Perhaps I could use the 'My Measure' app and snap a photo and write in my measurements. A lot of those things tend to take me a few minutes and at times I feel like I stare at my screen much to often, even though it's important to document/log this information.
This is where 'Notif' comes into play. Being able to setup things in the notification is sure to grab my attention to things I need to be aware of. If your anything like me, I check my phone display numerous times a day, sometimes cause I'm just refreshing my brian, sometimes out of habit. So, hopefully this will fulfill my need to NOTIFy me of the task/data that I need to follow up on/enter into my phone. This is how I will be using NOTIF as basically a quick note/reminder app for my pulldown. I will report back.
Take care,
Johnny

In Notif Pro, simply highlight some text in a webpage and click on the share action, and share with Notif and it will create a notification. This only works with text items (in any app that has a share intent), but I will be working on Big Picture notifications in the future.
I just released an update to the free version that includes a lot of fixes. You can see the full change log here as always. I even update it with what I'm currently working on. Consider buying Notif Pro as it includes all the good features. Happy holidays!!
Dev,
Have you seen NotificationBrowser? The idea that these two apps merged seems like a great concept. That dev is on ICS and couldn't try NOTIF unfortunately but now I can put my notifications to a widget. Thanks for your hardwork!

For the sake of helping u improve upon an already decent app i just wanted to post to confirm the color cange bug on the tab S...although i'm aware that it was not created to be used on our device there will definitely be a demand for a free unlimited hack from other samsung owners i'm sure. I suggest adding a list of options available in the pro version to the op so u wont get duplicate feature requests constantly throughout the thread...if i had any recommendations for u it would be to add an on/off button to the notification itself so users can just pull down the bar and make it disappear with one click just like the real toolbox instead of needing to actually open the ap, pressing menu then selecting stop. Lol...looks like i need to edit my own post because i just found out that u have a hold to disable feature built into the floating icon so nevermind on that request as i suppose thats just as good if not better. You might want to make note of that in your first post as well...along with other features/instructions because many users may not read the app description in the play store & a lil redundancy never hurts

I'll wait for the dev to reply to my other post before editing again. lol

Play Store says it's compatible so people would assume it should work on their devices.
Thx THEDEVIOUS1 and k0sh.

k0sh, don't know what you meant by "dig into that now" but if your referring to anything I said about the scrolling and the swiping they work fine on the Tab S 10.5.

Sorry for the confusion k0sh. Here is my earlier problem and requests:
Everything works on my Tab S 10.5 EXCEPT for CHANGING THE FLOATING TOOLBAR ICON COLOR. No matter what color I set it to it never takes. Changing the background color works fine though.
I have a couple of requests if you decide to continue to refine the app:
-Allow user to set the Floating Toolbox icon even smaller then it is now. I have it all the way down and I still find it too big on the tablet in comparison the the OEM Toolbox.
-Allow user to change icon transparency as I find it too bright
-Allow alternate icon or little round button like OEM.
Thanks again k0sh for all the attention your giving this.

i'm glad that u went back to edit your post as all of those features are in fact working fine but u may need to change it again because all of the other options u inquired about are already available in the pro version...i can also confirm that color change does nothing
For the sake of helping u improve upon an already decent app i just wanted to post to confirm the color cange bug on the tab S...although i'm aware that it was not created to be used on our device there will definitely be a demand for a free unlimited hack from other samsung owners i'm sure. I suggest adding a list of options available in the pro version to the op so u wont get duplicate feature requests constantly throughout the thread...if i had any recommendations for u it would be to add an on/off button to the notification itself so users can just pull down the bar and make it disappear with one click just like the real toolbox instead of needing to actually open the ap, pressing menu then selecting stop. Lol...looks like i need to edit my own post because i just found out that u have a hold to disable feature built into the floating icon so nevermind on that request as i suppose thats just as good if not better. You might want to make note of that in your first post as well...along with other features/instructions because many users may not read the app description in the play store & a lil redundancy never hurts
