This may be a really stupid question, but is it possible to create a tab for practically anything? I know they have updated the Weather Tab in the Touch HD to pull more weather data, and there is also the stock tab where you can get stock info right from the tab. My question is if these tabs can be formatted to show anything from an internet source or feed. For example sports scores or news. I've seen this in Bell's UI for the TP, but is it possible to do if you can find the right source? I don't know how to program and wouldn't be able to do this, I was just throwing it out there as a question to see if its possible. Thanks!
does anyone have any ideas on this?
I'm wondering the same thing. Some tabs on TF3D like the People and Mail tab are pretty far from useful. It would be great if these could be edited or replaced.
It's entirely possible. I've stumbled onto docs and dev tools for writing your own tabbed whatever on this site. It wasn't of interest to me so I don't know where they are offhand but a little searching should bring them up eventually. Maybe check the wiki, also.
I'm really intersted in this so I can make some useful tabs. I'm so sick of the music tab!
I've been keeping an eye out but haven't seen anything useful in the way of docs or info yet. If anyone finds some info could they please post links here?
Please!

Yes, I am interested in developing new tabs, too. Seems to me that developing a visual voicemail tab that would work with the youmail.com service just makes a lot of sense to have on a phone.
I asked that question before, and got the following links in response.

Unfortunately, I've got a ton of VB6 experience that does no good here. I'm willing to write some good psuedo code, if there is anyone with LUA experience that can help me with the tab.
Whoa guys and girls you have no idea what you are asking. This is not something you do by editing a tab a little bit. Creating new tabs will requires you to be able to create mode9 files from scratch and have some real experience with lua coding. Only one who's done that on this forum is D-man (calender tab). I've been working with xbox on the rhodium manila editing mode9 and lua files I can do, but creating them from scratch is very hard and will consume a lot (like a whole lot) of time. For someone with experience it will be hard, and I'm ready to team up with someone who thinks he can but it's probably a project of weeks or maybe months. But hey I might be wrong here , 12
Maybe this is one of a dozen questions.. i have been searching on the forums to find some cool stuff for my phone,
I installed Cookies Home Tab and the editor and so on...
Now i found Dinik his stuff, and i want that so bad.. it looks really awsome for me...
When i browse the topic, i see things like: Anastasia Task bar etc..
How can i install those things on my, almost standard HTC HD2? Is it just installing the CAB? Or do i need to install a special ROM (i am running 1.66).
And how about Manila? What is that? Do i have that already? When i search the forums, i see all kinds of mods for it, but i don't find the real program...
I hope u guys can help me, and not saying that this is one of the dozen or something.. i just want to be helped... i have used the search option already.
Thanks in Advance..

Manilla is you home screen with tabs etc.
Manila is another name for HTC Sense. Download cabs you want to your device, open file manager and double click. Good luck.
Ah okay! So that was indeed a stupido question
How about Anastasia?

That is the name of a stylistic theme for Sense/Manila mods created by forum member Dinik.

Thanks for you help guys

Hi guys,
so i've recently downloaded installed and bought faceniff.
i really like the app, but i was wondering if there was a way to make it show the full password.
i've decompiled the apk, and i have looked at it for a while but i cant seem to make sense of it all. i have some experience in C++ and C, also PHP VB.NET etc but not in java.
has anyone looked into this ?
when the code is found it shouldn't be too much work, only thing i need help with is finding the code that puts the ***'s over the middle of the password.
many thanks,
ps. ofcourse i would release the apk (with buy option still enabled).
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I would just like to bump this. Its a reasonable question
any news?

Don't look only in framework-res.apk, look in app and systemui.apk too
Repost.deletion
You are probably further ahead then myself, but I understand the frustration. I cant get the damn apktools to work for me to extract or decompile.i dont know if I have it installed right or what, but I didnt get any help yet. So far what I hear u can just extract system apks with 7zip/winrar if u are just swapping images(pngs)from originals as system apks sign themselves on boot.*Just passing information from what ive read in threads.Maybe u dont have 2 edit xml?Just tryin 2 help.

First off there plenty of theme tut threads. Second the blue bar is a .9. PNG not am XML. The second will be in the settings apk. Look at the display XML and that will lead you to it. Next one should not expect a reply mainly when the info is out there to be found aand by trial and error
first off im not an idiot. i know theres a bunch of theme threads. theres also a billion posts. even if i searched for this id have to go thru 100's of posts. dont be an asshole know it all. you can just answer my question and it'd be over with.

OK well see here is the thing that image is not in the rom for my device. I only know the where to look from an older device I used to have. Second swearing on the forum is not allowed and yes there is alot of info that needs to be gone over. How do you think we did it. Search and ye shall find
And just to help a little to get the whole bar color changed you will need the framework Res, any device framework file and the contacts apk. Each section is a seperate .9.png that will need to be remade and then run the the tool in the sdk tools.

first, there is a lot of info in the rules but the word swearing was never included. a quick search and ye shall not find it. and i found your use of language by talking down to me very offensive. its a "two way street" remember.
second, a better way is to decompile the framework in apkmanager, edit the files in gimp/photshop/whatever, compile back with apkmanager. no messing with the 9 patches. but you already know that. because you know everything. senior moderator.

try apk manager. take your framework and put it in place-here-for-modding folder. run script. select 22 to set your project, select framework-res.apk. select 9 to decompile, keep the terminal open. the files you want to edit are in the projects folder. if you mess with the .9 png's dont touch the 9 patches on the outsides of the image. also, write down all the files you edit, youre going to need it later. after youre done making all your changes, go back to the terminal and select 11 to compile. if youre editing a system apk select Y when it asks you, then say Y to limit the amount of errors. it will then ask you to delete all the files you edited from the keep folder, the keep folder has all the original files, you want to delete all the files you edited from the keep folder so it can overwrite the originals with the edited ones. if you edited any xml files, delete the resources.arsc file also. after you deleted all the files you edited from the keep folder, go back to the terminal and press any button, it will finish compiling the apk. thats it
edit: i think its called apk multi tool now but i believe its all the same
I appreciate that detailed explanation. I couldnt do anything with the program, because I never hit 22 to set the project in the first step.lol. Now I was successful in decompiling my systemui.apk to swap out files & change colors in statusbar clock/date with another systemui.apk from a theme. I thought I did it right by compiling ,signing it afterwards, & changing permissions as I placed back in system/app folder but It just kept force closing anyways? The files I swapped were Clock.smali-Clock$1.smali & Dateview.smali- Dateview$1.smali. Dont know if these files are only in Sony Ericsson xperia play as this is phone im working with or what. Anyways thanks for helpful advice. Did you get any help with xml? Maybe try posting in phone specific forum?

Yes I did post that because people come here thinking they can disrespect anybody they want.
You can go ahead and edit the .9 that way all you want and I will keep an eye out for your next thread. Then ill even help you to show you how to properly edit the .9 or even do what I do and make your own.
I was not talking down to you. Sorry if you took it that way.I was telling to look for the info you needed as it is all here in the threads. Searching and reading is requried before opening a new thread. No spoon feeding here
As for your rule ref it states it right there. "What might be OK for you may not be ok for every one." Swearing is never cool in any civilized place. And no swearing has always been the rules.
Now I pointed you in the right direction. Take or not, your choice. Even if you want come on over to my teams themeing thread in the captivate or the inspire section. There is always great info in those threads.
hello guys,
I am new in this forum and I am Form Germany so maybe I have some mistakes in this Text but I hope you will understand.
I have lots of experience in C++ and VB.net.. I startet a few month ago with Java now I learn to do something with Android.
I have to say that I hacked much in c++ because I like it.. So no I asked myself how to do the same thing with Android.
Is it possible to decompile an apk and change some function? For example: A game give you always 50 gems for an exercise. Is it possible to change the function so you will get 100 gems? I would love to learn it because it is very interesting and useful too.
I hope you will help me
Thank you
Btw: I know that my sentences are very simple but I tried to say you what I think in german.
