[GUIDE]Enable more homescreens on default launcher

In this guide I will show you how to enable more than the defaulft 5 homescreens
First of all, you'll need Apk Manager, this can be downloaded here.
Extract the zip to a folder you like, I'll use C:\Apk Manager\ in this guide!
Download the Home.apk from this post, note: it's for the .145 fw only.
Copy the Home.apk to C:\Apk Manager\place-apk-here-for-modding\
After you've done that, open Script.bat.
Select option 9.
Now the Home.apk will be decompiled.
When it's done decompiling, go here C:\Apk Manager\projects\Home.apk\res\values.
Open integers.xml with Notepad and go line 10. Will look like this:
Code:
<integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">5</integer>
You can change that number 5 to any number you like, let's use 9:
Code:
<integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">9</integer>
Open values/styles.xml and change line 16:
Code:
<style name="Layout.ButtonContainer">
to this
Code:
<style name="Layout.ButtonContainer" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
Save and close the files. Now go back to the Apk Manager tool and select option 11, the apk will now be compiled again. It will ask you this:
Is this a system apk (y/n)
Answer with y and press enter.
After that you'll get another question:
Aside from the signatures, would you like to copy
over any additional files that you didn't modify
from the original apk in order to ensure least
# of errors (y/n)
Anwer with y again.
Now this will show up:
In the apk manager folder u'll find
a keep folder. Within it, delete
everything you have modified and leave
files that you haven't. If you have modified
any xml, then delete resources.arsc from that
folder as well. Once done then press enter
on this script.
Go here C:\Apk Manager\keep and delete resources.arsc.
Now go back to the Apk Manager tool and press enter.
In C:\Apk Manager\place-apk-here-for-modding you'll find this: unsignedHome.apk. Rename it to Home.apk and push it to your device with adb.
Adb commands:
Code:
adb push Home.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
$su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
#busybox cp -R /sdcard/Home.apk /system/app/
#sync
#reboot
After the restart you should have 9 homescreens
{
"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"
}

Thanks,works perfectly.
Now all I need is landscape rotation ...

Cool stuff. What will happen to my existing homescreens and all the widgets and icons on them after doing this? Will they get wiped?
And what about the overall performance? Any "lags" during games with so many homescreens?
Edit: Tried it, but got a message after starting the script.bat, saying that i have no java?! I have Java installed on my system. What should i do?

For some reason some widgets disappear, the best thing to do is clear data with Titanium backup and design your homescreens again
I didn't noticed any lag at all
Uhm, you might need Android SDK to be installed on your pc.. I could also compile the apk for you

I think i have the SDK on my netbook, but its about 100 km away. If you could compile it, i wouldnt say no

How many screens would you like to have?

I would like to try it with 9

Then you could just download the package from the first post

Oh, hehe, yes, um, i think i missed that one
I have root. Do i have to use adb push, or can i copy/paste the file to my device?

It's probably possible to just copy/paste it, but I prefer using adb

Maybe i did something wrong?! I copied the apk, but i played around with the permissions. After reboot the homescreens were empty, but not 9, just 5. So i checked the permissions of the old home.apk (did a backup before copy). I took the same permissions and did a reboot again. Now the phone boots up, i can unlock it, but there is no homescreen. All i see is the notofication-bar. What can i do?
Edit: I can access my apps and data using my WaveLauncher. I try to set other permissions. Maybe it will work.
Edit2: Ok, i set permissions like every other app within /system/app. Now i can access the homescreen again. Its empty, and i have 5 screens. But when i try to add a widget on my "main" homescreen, it says that there is not enough space. So i think the old widgets are still there, but i cant see/remove them. What can i do?

happened to me before, stop the process and clear the data

Didn't work for me, couldn't get it to install, kept getting persmission denied through adb, despite the fact I'm rooted!
Could someone upload a version with 3 homescreens please?
Also, in the res/xml/default_settings_apptray -> could someone change the default sort to az instead of free! This means it should automatically sort it alphabetically and will remember it on restart...a bug in the current build.
Thanks guys
Niall

Works for me now. I did a complete new flash and root and now building up everything from scratch. Feels better now

Change T-Mobile Wifi Calling icon for Sensation 4G

This icon has bugged forever... and I finally took care of it...
I couldn't find this for Sensation 4G... so I took from Galaxy SII forum and with a little guidance from XDA member KaneHusky got it done
So if you are on T-Mobile, and rely on wifi calling like I do, and want an ICS syle icon that is always in upper left corner... this is for you
(I am running CM9 RC1)
Before:
{
"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"
}
After:
1. Use root explorer to copy wifi calling .apk from system\app to root of sd card
(In CM9 file is: HTC-PYRTM-ICS-4.0.1-2.3-49986-4.3.apk)
2. Mount to PC and use 7-Zip to explore .apk (dont extract or mess with anything, just explore)
3. Explore to the folder: res\drawable-hdpi\
4. make sure icons are saved and renamed accordingly:
blue: "ic_status_notify.png"
green: "status_icon_incall.png"
5. Right-click drag to Copy the two attached icon files into the folder (they will overwrite ugly ass icons)
6. Copy over original .apk in system\app (backup original to be safe)
reboot into recovery, wipe cache, (i also fixed permissions although I don't think it's necessary) then reboot and enjoy the cleaner look
Boom
UPDATE:
Sorry Everyone.... didn't realize the attached images are renamed when inserted into a thread...
which makes my whole post meaningless as they will only overwrite the proper icons if named the same.
the step by step above has been elaborated on to hopefully alleviate this issue.

What weather widget you using. Looks awesome
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app

Thanks... Beautiful Widgets - Super clock with Vanilla ICS skin and full alpha transparency

i must be doing something wrong , i open apk file in 7zip (open archive) then i copy icon files but when i right click on drawable-hdpi, i doesnt give me option to paste???

Try Ctrl-v when inside the folder
Sent from my Sensation 4G running CM9

The icons attached in the op save as attachment.php

not working for me??? oh well looks nice.

Open the 'drawable-hdpi' folder in 7Zip so you can see all of the png files.

Updated APK
Hello,
Thanks first to Da_Sheezy for making this, I really like the new icons.
In the spirit of making things easier and the implied approval of Da_Sheezy, I am attaching the modified apk, so people don't have to do the whole 7zip thing.
In short, here are the steps:
1. Turn off Wifi in your phone, this is just a precaution.
2. Download the attached file.
3. Save it to root directory of SD card.
4. With Root Explorer, [/B]copy original apk (for backup purposes) anywhere in the SD card, but the root directory.[/B]
5. Now, copy the downloaded file to system/app, it will ask you if you want to replace the file, say yes. You phone will freeze for a couple of seconds and reboot automatically.
6. After rebooting, go back to system/app using Root Explorer and change permissions to rw-r--r--
7. Reboot your phone one more time and you are done.
I hope that this helps some people. I am currently running CM9 RC2 and it is working like a charm.
Thanks again to the OP for this.

Yeah, I know but why should I, if I've been using this for ages now and I like the look and the features? And honestly I don't want any more fancier features for a keyboard.

Can you explain step by step how you did it ?
And how did you get the android l statusbar icons?

Sure, for the icons I downloaded and installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/mod-gwbt-theme-g3-tweaksbox-themes-t2852754
you must have G3 Tweaksbox installed to use the theme.
To install the keyboard, downloaded the Zip file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/app-z3-keyboard-t2868406
Extract the lib and app folders. Using Root Explorer insert the contents of the lib folder into the /system/lib directory and changed the permissions to rw-r-r- to the file. Do the same for the contents of the app folder and also change the permissions to rw-r-r- to every file. Once completed reboot, it should say "updating" for 1 app. Once you are loaded up open the keyboard settings and download the language pack of your choice. Any questions let me know.

[Guide][Assistant 2.0][All Android 10 ROMs] How to get the new Google Assistant 2.0 !

Let's get started.
Hello guys. Many of you must've seen the new Google Assistant 2.0 from the Pixel 4 family making a lot of buzz.
Well no need to buy a pixel because you can get it working on your phone running Android 10.
This method has been tested on various phones running PE, Havoc, and Evolution X.
Pre requisite
1. A phone
2. Android 10 (preferably Gapps version)
3. Root
4. A file explorer with root access (I use solid explorer)
5. Little bit of brain and some patience
Steps
1. The first thing to be done is to spoof your device as a pixel 4/4 XL. For this you can use one of the following methods.
A. Manually edit your build.prop file using a file explorer (Like root explorer/ solid explorer etc)
B. Flash Pixel_4_XL_props using magisk (File Attached)
C. Flash the Module MagiskHide_props_config from Magisk repo
Then open Terminal app. Type
Code:
props
followed by selection "1", then "f", then "6" (corresponding to Google), then "23" (corresponding to "Pixel 4 XL")
Then go back to main page of props make selection "2", followed by "s" (device simulation), followed by "a" (Enable all props), followed by "1" (Enable)
Then restart the device.
2. Once the device restarts, try triggering the assistant, it should prompt you to download the additional files for assistant 2.0. If not, just clear the data of Google and try again.
3. Once assistant 2.0 is enabled, you still won't get the beautiful colourful UI like the pixel 4. For that follow the following steps.
4. Using file explorer, navigate to the directory /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/shared_prefs.
5. Replace the file GEL.GSAPrefs.xml with the one attached bellow
6. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT: Go one step up to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/ and change the permission of the folder "shared_prefs" The folder not the files in it to 551 (dr-xr-x--x)
7. Force stop the Google App and start it again. It should now be showing the coloured bar UI like Pixel 4.
8. Profit?
NOTE: IF THE ADDITIONAL FILES FAIL TO DOWNLOAD, INSTALL THIS APK
Acknowledgements:
1. @Maxmillis and @t3sl4 for Pixel_props
2. @Didgeridoohan for MagiskHide_props_config
3. Awesome ROM developers
4. Google of course

I did all of it, but now "ok, google" is not working. Why?

It works really well on Redmi Note 4/x, Note 5/Pro, Note 6 Pro and Note 7 thanks!

Everything works flawless except "Ok Google" function.

Ok Google is not working in redmi note 5
Assistant is working fine. i'm using you prop but still "OK GOOGLE" is not working . why??
suggest me something

Google search FC'ed

MY Google search always fc when I copy the GEA
L.GEAPrefs to /data/data/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/shared_prefs/

Is anyone able to find solution to this error? I have moved the xml file also. No longer on beta version of Google & Play Services. I have Moto G5 Plus (Potter) on PE10 latest update.

install this and enjoy

you used my instruction from a telegram. but OK
In Gelgsaprefs edit your email. Currently there is data nishant_713
And this guide doesn't work with all roms 10 Not works with LineageOS and smartphones arm version Only PixelExperience Rom

Is there a way to backup stuff before doing this?

Offline work.
Do you know why this doesn't work offline or a fix so that assistant can work offline.

How to manually edit build prop because when i use magisk module then my ir face unlock stops working and i tried editing build prop on my own and ended up stuck in bootloop so please tell me what to edit and where to edit

The color bar doesn't appear after flashing the magisk module. Anyone fixed this? :>(

I did all the steps on my S8+ and everything working fine but after a while when i open google search it crashes and force closes so i have to clear data and reinstall assistant additional data and so on, then everything good i get the colors, ok google working but then after a while same thing google search crashes.
What seems to be the problem, is there a solution or how can i revert to how it was? For example reverting back what i did with terminal emulator...

Thank you it worked on my redmi note 6 pro but the problem is the ok Google isn't working it say unavailable for this language

Any telegram or discord group where someone would answer questions?
Still trying to figure out why at the moment of install everything works good but then after a lil bit google search starts force closing.

With today update Google app New Google Assistant works on all ROMs with set build.prop to Pixel 4 XL And without copy gelgsaprefs.xml this file is now much bigger with all function activated

Why so complicated? Just use the nga.xml sysconfig in /product/etc/sysconfig... Would be pretty easy to make another Module for that...
Nevermind, Just saw the glowing UI...

just delete all data of the Google app and this will reset that XML file to the original state. Do not paste the attached file again. And you'll see everything working properly

Enable Unknown Sources on Android 12

I have ran into a problem, using my Pixel 6 pro this morning. When I drop off an order at the customers location. Most drop off's prompted you to take a picture. When I went to take the picture, I got a toast that read "No Camera app on device". I took a picture with the default camera, and then tried using the second option, of uploading a picture to the Dasher app. That didn't work either.
After posting on the doordash reddit. It seems to be a problem with Pixel devices, and the Dasher app.
My pixel 4XL never updated the dasher app. So I backed up the app. And I'm trying to sideload it onto my Pixel 6 Pro. But I can't find, or figure out how to Enable Unknown Sources on Android 12.

I'm having the same issue on my Pixel 6! It's frustrating

This is for Pixel 5, but its for android 12 so should be roughly the same.
Or, if the device is rooted you could try just using adb push commands to push the app directly to your system/app or data/app folder.
Or even try putting the app in your internal storage somewhere then open your file manager on your device and navigate to the folder where you stored the app and install it from there, it should give you pop up prompts to enable the proper permissions, just follow the prompts until it let's you install the apk.

I can't seem to get any thing to sideload on my Pixel 6 Pro. Can't seem to get anything to sideload even on my wifes Pixel 6 Pro. I backed up a few other apps, to make sure it wasn't something wrong with the dasher app itself. Can't sideload any apk files.
This is what I get, when I try to sideload it from Google drive.

Maybe you have some conflicting data left over from an update or leftovers from deleting the app before trying to reinstall it or just a bug. In this case, booting into recovery and choosing the option to "wipe cache partition"(DO NOT CHOOSE FACTORY RESET) could potentially help solve this issue. Or, if you already have the app installed and you are trying to reinstall the app over the existing app, you can go to system settings>apps then find and select the app on the list then on its app info screen select storage then choose the option to wipe cache for that specific app, then power off and reboot the device then try to reinstall the app.
