Hi there, so I have heard there's some way to write sh scripts for android?
I am wanting to make an easy way to randomly change one line in an XML file located on the flash. Meaning it'll need su priviledges.
Basically I'm wanting to make something that'll change the mobile id for grooveshark with one touch, so the trial wont expire (why oh why don't they go to their usual ad supported method?)
I want to make a shortcut on my home screen that I can touch to to reset my trial
Any pointers?
These are the contents of the XML file in /data/data/com.grooveshark.android.v1/
Grooveshark.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<string name="cc4">8765432198</string>
<string name="cc1">0</string>
<string name="cc2">0</string>
<boolean name="hasTrialStarted" value="true" />
<string name="cc3">0</string>
<int name="splashSponsoredExpires" value="0" />
<boolean name="trialHasExpired" value="false" />
<string name="cid">229</string>
<string name="loginUnPwToken">5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99</string>
<string name="username">username</string>
<string name="sessionID">c3a5a6eca887891b9bf69687badb7531</string>
<long name="mobileID" value="555554" />
<int name="sponsoredSplashCount" value="0" />
<int name="trialExpiresTime" value="1382277664" />
<int name="splashSponsorID" value="0" />
<boolean name="gs_tos_bool" value="true" />
<int name="trialNumPlays" value="0" />
</map>
I changed any numbers that'd allow you to auto log in as me
The important part is: <long name="mobileID" value="555554" />
that value has to change whenever your trial expires.
Can anyone give me some pointers? I don't need a tutorial, just an example of shell scripts on the home screen of android.
Well, I have an update. I couldn't find any good reference for shell scripts on linux, so I went ahead and just set up the SDK. I don't have too much java experience, bt I was able to get the interface made pretty easily using the online resources. Now I simply need to make the button in the app death the xml file, find that string and replace it with a random number. I anyone has some good examples of how to search and edit the contents of a file, that'd be awesome. Any takers?

This guide is basically for anyone who cooks ROMs and wants to add default widgets to any of the screens rather than the widgets HTC puts on the screens. Also if you remove some widgets from your ROM you will be left with blank screens so you can use those screens to add other widgets that are still in the ROM.
Cooking a ROM can be and is a nice experience and very educational too. After about a
year of cooking my own ROMs I decided to do what any other developer would do, learn
by trial and error and that is how I came by one my best discoveries so far, that is
where and how to place widgets in your Android ROM when you are cooking it. It is very
simple when you realise how simple it is. I don't know if anyone has it figured out
but after searching these forums for about 6 months nothing came up.
Right, let's get down and dirty with this. Here are the tools I used (anyone who cooks
ROMs should probably have them):
dsixda's kitchen - to decompile and recompile the ROMs
notepad++ - to edit various (text) files
7zip - to unzip archived files
apktool - to decompile and recompile apks
any ROM/update.zip -
other tools - will add these when they come up
Files to edit
-WORKING_******_******\system\customize\MNS\default.xml
-******widget\res\xml\***.xml
-******widget\AndroidManifest.xml
Install apktool and use it to decompress the apks for the widgets you need.
Anyway, hoping your computer is set up to use dsixda's kitchen, unpack your rom using
dsixda's kitchen (the kitchen) and navigate to
C:\cygwin\home\%user%\kitchen\%WORKING_******_******%\system\customize\MNS
Make a back up of and open default.xml with notepad++ and scroll down about half way
down till you get to
<function name="1_fx_widgets">
and that is where the widget placement begins. An example is
<function name="1_fx_widgets">
<set name="plenty">

Next is to get the apk of the widget you want to use. In this case I used the clock widget which is
HtcClock3DWidget.apk. Use apktool to decompile it (7zip will unpack it but the xmls won't show up
properly in Notepad++). Go into the the decompressed folder 'htcclock3dwidget' (Windows ignores
and lowercase letters) and open 'AndroidManifest.xml'. The file should be as follows:

This is for the large default clock in HTC Sense which occupies half the screen. I decided to
go for the new clock which takes up one line at the top of the screen. Right, to edit it to get
the new clock to come up when I cook my rom in the main homescreen which is screen 3 (the
fourth screen from the far left) (the screen counting starts from 0) I need "package_name",
"widget_name", "provider_name" and "span_y".
For "package_name" this is found in 'AndroidManifest.xml' in the decompiled 'htcclock3dwidget'
folder. It is found in one of the first lines
<manifest android:sharedUserId="com.htc.rosie.uid.shared" android:versionCode="300254226" android:versionName="3.0.2211151065.254226" package="com.htc.clock3dwidget"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
as 'package' after 'android:versionName' so the "package_name" is
'com.htc.clock3dwidget'
For "widget_name" it is a little tricky. Navigate to 'htcclock3dwidget\res\xml' and open 'clock_widget.xml'
in Notepad++. The file looks like this (it is more or less this file, lol):

In my case I want to use the smaller newer clock (but any can do depending on which clock you want
to use) which is found on this line:
<style rosie:id="clockweather41" rosie:label="@string/widget_weather_clock" rosie:description="@string/widget_detail" rosiereview="@drawable/preview_clock_weather_4x1" rosie:date="@string/simple_widget_date" rosie:name=".ClockWeather_4x1" rosie:configure="com.htc.clock3dwidget/com.htc.clock3dwidget.setting.ConfigWeatherClock" rosie:span_x="4" rosie:span_y="1" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The name of the clock widget I want to use is found after 'rosie:name' which is ".ClockWeather_4x1".
So for "widget_name" I use "package_name"+'rosie:name' which makes it
'com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWeather_4x1'
For 'provider_name' that's a bit more difficult but after trial and error I found that it is
found in 'AndroidManifest.xml' of the clock widget on the line
<receiver android:label="@string/clock_widget_provider_label" android:icon="@drawable/clock" android:name="com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider" android:exported="true">
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so 'provider_name' is 'android:name' before 'android:exported' which is
'com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider'
This becomes
<item name="package_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget</item>
<item name="widget_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWeather_4x1</item>
<item name="provider_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
'cell_x' and 'cell_y' remain untouched because I want it at the top of the screen starting
from the left (you place it where you want using cell_x and cell_y). 'span_x' stays at '4'
(because it occupies 4 cells going to the left) but 'span_y' becomes '1' because it occupies
1 cell going down. The clock widget settings section finally becomes
<set name="plenty">
<!--2a59290f-8da8-4eba-a246-27a5df7c6246-->
<item name="package_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget</item>
<item name="widget_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWeather_4x1</item>
<item name="provider_name">com.htc.clock3dwidget.ClockWidgetProvider</item>
<item name="screen">3</item>
<item name="cell_x">0</item>
<item name="cell_y">0</item>
<item name="span_x">4</item>
<item name="span_y">1</item>
</set>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that's just for the clock widget. The format is more or less the same for the other widgets. By the way, if you mess up the widget won't show but the widget itself won't be affected so you can manually add it. You will notice there are settings for other widgets that don't show up on any of the screens.
Oh, I think the process works the same for all phones as long as they have HTC Sense. If anyone has any questions please please please feel free to ask. We are all here to learn. I added bookmarks widget to replace friendstream widget which I don't need and re-added weather widget to first the first screen, shifted navigation widget and fellow widgets to last screen and added htc notes widget to their screen. The power is in your hands. As I said before, I couldn't find the information I needed anywhere so I had to hunt it down in the files mentioned above using my hunch and I found it. Whatever you want or need the answers are out there, you just need to find them
I have attached some screenshots. You might notice there's nothing special to them because you can change them after installing your ROM but that's how my screens look when I install my ROM so I don't have to change them anymore.

Since you already opened the default.xml file you might as well scroll a little further down and you will come this section
<module name="Browser">
<function name="bookmark">

That is the section with the default bookmarks for the bookmarks widget so you can add and remove sites so they come up by default. This section looks like this by default

I added xdadevelopers to the list but you can add more if you want or remove some too.
Had another look at that ...system\customise\mns\default.xml. Looks like the '<function name="1_fx_widgets">' section up to '<function name="5_fx_widgets">' are the scenes for the scene picker part of hts sense. Even further down are the default apps that come with each scene. All you have to do is add or change your widgets, take screenshots, add screenshots to '...\system\customise\resource\' folder, fiddle with the naming then jump into the default.xml file and take it from there. Will update as I keep testing on my phone. God help this phone, lol.

M head's pounding right now considering I have already flashed my phoned about 9 times in the past 4 hours trying to get other widgets to work by default at first boot but thanks very much for the post seadersn. I'll update it a bit more because even with this info I am a bit confused myself, lol.

hi hengmy. I am sorry I cannot help at the moment but I guess one of the other hardened developers can. Thanks for asking anyway
ok, let's have a deeper look into it. maybe i will find some time today for playing with this, too; but first: dentist ;( i hope i'm able to do anything today after massacre's over...
Right, for anybody interested, I have edited my guide a little bit more and it's a little clearer now. The guide is basically for anyone who cooks ROMs and wants to add default widgets to any of the screens rather than the widgets HTC puts on the screens. Also if you remove some widgets from your ROM you will be left with blank screens so you can use those screens to add other widgets that are still in the ROM.

Hi seadersn. Hope your trip to the dentist went ok . I redid the guide and I hope you can make some good use out of it. Any questions you have I'll try to answer but for now stay strong my friend.
thx, thx tomorrow and friday are next dentist visits longer taking thingy; replacement of three teethes
tmr is wednesday? kk, will start my testimonials in thursday: head / brain should be free then i'll contact you; i thought that there have to be a 'master index file' for that. if, then it will be found by us
gn8, maestro
well good luck with the dentist. but getting three teeth out, you must be a hero, lol. last time i went to the dentist was about 15yrs ago. i'd rather somebody punch my teeth out, lol.
anyway, from the way i see things i think those may be the 'master index files' for the default widget placement when cooking your roms. of course you can change them back. i had got fed up with changing my widgets everytime i flashed my phone so the quest began. so now i can get widgets of my choosing onto screens of my choosing before i cook and flash my rom. so it's not really something special but will come in handy for a chef. imagine cooking your own rom and having one of those fancy analogue clocks come up by default when you install your rom (of course you can change it back) and maybe a whole set of settings widgets on, hmm, maybe the last screen, for example? and that's how you might like it but how about those become your default screens for your custom roms?
i was fed of hanging around in the shadows for so many years, lol. and again, good luck with the dentist. remember to drink loads of water

thank richmondo. will try and look into that . right now i am continuously scratching my head to get some of the widgets to show up and all the scrolling up and down and copy-pasting stuff is doing my head in, lol. wld love to find an easier method
nice
Hope the mods find this and move it to chef central.
Does seem to work on all HTC phones.
This is an awesome reference thread.
Well done.

Not sure of input as this may require a library added to the keyboard of choice; however, languages are added fairly simply ASSUMING you use a WWE base rom. You just add the language and country code into the default.xml in the CID folder. Example WFS has their latest and greatest called the Euro... Well it has lots of English choices but not for the US; so a bit of copying.. then edit your copy set to en_US et voila it will show up (and set up if chosen) upon factory reset. Language always fist two digit code and in lowercase; Country 2nd set and in caps.
Now sometimes I should warn a rom may use multiple CID setup profiles if so you could spy it in the /resouce/ccinfo.txt file. I would advise knocking out the multiples and setting it to default unless you just feel like complicating your life. Logic path is build.prop to ccinfo.txt to the various default.xml's (which then often have external carrier .xmls referenced in UI strings) and a root of customize directory file which has build number and whatnot [verification purposes mostly]. After that, your own your own, but understanding the logic path helps me not go insane
Now... Speaking of keyboards, how you guys figure the "short" name to add lessay Hacker's Keyboard, my personal fav generic in mns default.xml.. other keyboard names are indeed short; so I'm kinda guessing its not the package name.
Sidenote to change input in some if not most keyboards you dl the appropriate language library... Hacker's has many, and swype the spacebar, add the lib in the input settings et voila. Cooking that in however... Still learning.
TIA,
Rob
You mainly see these kinds of things in AOSP ROMs, but I'll teach you guys how to add a "Tweaks" option to the Settings app. Some people know how to do this, others don't. In the spirit of making a better community, here's the how-to. I'll be using the MIUI batterybar by PvyParts as the example. So, to add the MIUI batterybar to Settings, follow the following steps:
Note: You must have already made your ROM compatible with the batterybar mod for it to work. This guide just teaches you how to add things to it. Also, this guide works only if you have a tweaks app such as the batterybar, quickpanel settings, etc so make sure you have those apps installed.
[*]Decompile SecSettings.apk (I use Apk Manager)
[*]Navigate to /res/xml/settings_headers.xml
Add
Code:
<header android:title="@string/header_category_rom_mods" />
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_batterybar" android:id="@id/batterybar_settings" android:title="@string/batterybar_settings">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.pvy.battbar.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.pvy.battbar.settings.options" />
</header>
below
Code:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_more" android:id="@id/wireless_settings" android:title="@string/more_settings" android:fragment="com.android.settings.WirelessSettings" android:breadCrumbTitle="@string/wireless_networks_settings_title" />
It'll look like this when finished:
Code:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_more" android:id="@id/wireless_settings" android:title="@string/more_settings" android:fragment="com.android.settings.WirelessSettings" android:breadCrumbTitle="@string/wireless_networks_settings_title" />
[COLOR="SeaGreen"] <header android:title="@string/header_category_rom_mods" />
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_batterybar" android:id="@id/batterybar_settings" android:title="@string/batterybar_settings">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.pvy.battbar.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.pvy.battbar.settings.options" />
</header>[/COLOR]
[*]Navigate to /res/values/strings.xml
Scroll to the bottom of the file and add
Code:
<string name="header_category_rom_mods">ROM Control</string>
<string name="batterybar_settings">Battery Bar</string>
right above
Code:
</resources>
It'll look like this when finished (You can name "ROM Control" and "Battery Bar" to whatever you want):
Code:
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]<string name="header_category_rom_mods">ROM Control</string>
<string name="batterybar_settings">Battery Bar</string>[/COLOR]
</resources>
[*]Navigate to /res/values/public.xml
This is the tricky part. You will have to assign unique IDs to each mod. Additionally, you will need to assign a "drawable" type (for the picture) and a "string" type (for the name). This is what my code looks like (the red part is the unique ID (you can use mine as long as they don't conflict with any ID in your public.xml)):
At line 797:
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="ic_settings_batterybar" id="[COLOR="Red"]0x7f0203e2[/COLOR]" />
At line 4871:
Code:
<public type="string" name="batterybar_settings" id="0x7f090e3a" />" id="[COLOR="red"]0x7f0203e2[/COLOR]" />
At line 4869:
Code:
<public type="string" name="header_category_rom_mods" id="[COLOR="red"]0x7f090e38[/COLOR]" />
[*]Navigate to /res/values/ids.xml
Scroll to the bottom of the file and add:
Code:
<item type="id" name="batterybar_settings">false</item>
right above
Code:
</resources>
[*]Recompile SecSettings.apk and push it to your phone.
Awesome, great write up!
A little trick I learned that will allow you to not worry about finding a unique ID for res/public is let the system generate one for you
Add your lines to strings first and nothing else, then re-compile. Then immediately decompile the one you just built. Sounds confusing i know, but.........Now when you open up res/public the lines you just added to strings will have automatically populated with thier own unique ID and you never had to do anything. Try it
Much easier than trying to figure out which HEX ID isnt used, whats in range, or whats next.
:good:
Interesting, I used to wonder how you guys add things like that...

So you're saying do step three first, then step two and then step 4?

Crap, I am sorry if it was confusing. I didn't want to muddle up PM's thread. I would stick to his instructions if you don't quite follow what I was saying. It was meant for those that spend a lot of time running through code. Basically you can skip the part of adding IDs to res/public because once you add your info to strings the recompile process auto generates the IDs for you.
If this confuses you just stick to PMs instructions. : )

Hi! I am new to the whole mod and theme idea. Recently, I have been playing around with some files, editing some images to change the way how my phone looks. I am using the circleblue theme to replace the usual battery. However, when I did, it does not show up correctly. Rather, the image remains at a certain number, while the real battery is completely different. I'm looking to find a compiled file that would allow me use a 1% battery icon theme. I have been searching everywhere and found a file that contains:
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_0" android:maxLevel="0" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_1" android:maxLevel="1" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_2" android:maxLevel="2" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_3" android:maxLevel="3" />
etc... But when I use these two files, rather than the battery icon moving at 1% intervals, the battery icons completely disappeared. I was wondering if anyone could help me find the compiled files for 1% increments, unless this method is completely wrong.
I've uploaded my SystemUI.APK if that would help.
Thank You
Could anybody help?
Can you take a screen shot? Also did you get any errors when you compiled?

So I have an app that uses various currency symbols and you can select whichever you like via the standard Android preference view and I noticed that if a currency uses the same symbol e.g. USD, AUD, SGD which all use the $ it will default to the last item in the list. For instance, from the list below if I choose USD or AUD it will default to SGD when I click again but if I choose say ZAR, MYR, EUR, or GBP it will stick to that one as the value doesn't repeat in the array. If I have just one entry that has the $ symbol all is fine. Anyone else notice this or am I missing something here?
<string-array name="currency">
<item name="eur">EUR</item>
<item name="gbp">GBP</item>
<item name="jpy">JPY</item>
<item name="usd">USD</item>
<item name="zar">ZAR</item>
<item name="myr">MYR</item>
<item name="cny">CNY</item>
<item name="aud">AUD</item>
<item name="sgd">SGD</item>
</string-array>
<string-array name="currencyValues">
<item name="eur">€</item>
<item name="gbp">£</item>
<item name="jpy">¥</item>
<item name="usd">$</item>
