Is it possible to specify via xml or whatnot the what a default program should be or whether or not a program should be set as default from the get go?
For instance, if i don't want to remove rosie.apk but i want golauncher to be selected by default upon first boot.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
can anybody tell me how I can change the font of the stock SE lockscreen? I don't want to use an app for this (lockbot, etc). Just want to change the font or the images the clock uses. Help me please!
G.
The font is in the framework-res in the assets folder.
And how can I edit that? It is in the framework, extract is ok, but how can create an .apk after change font? Thanks for help anyway.

By pulling the contents, modding, then pushing them back. Read the theme reference thread for tips.
Great! Thanks again!!!
And if i'm ready (change font, rename as an apk), should I paste over the original apk by RE for example? Is that all?

No need to be renaming anything. Just open the apk as you would any other zip and pull the files, after modding them just drag and drop them back into the framework.apk. Some say you can use RootExplorer to overwrite the original but I've done it twice in the past and both times the phone stuck at boot, so recommend using adb to push back to the phone and install.
That's why I asked, cuz last two times the same happened to me, device frozen in boot. May I use QtADB? It looks working easier for me.

You can use whatever, so long as you can push and install files, like MrRusch's Mod Tool
Do you use it anyway? (x10ModTool)

No, I prefer using adb directly.
qtADB should be ADB with a GUI, an user friendly version of it. Thanks.
done, but nothing changed. Is it sure those fonts to be changed? Is it possible to create a kind of a zip able to flash by x-rec?
I'm running a Galaxy Nexus, and the ROM I'm currently on has a Perfomance option in the Settings Menu, which gives control of the kernel and stuff. However, I'd rather use TricksterMod, and I would like to be able to launch TricksterMod from Settings instead of the Performance app.
So far, I've decompiled my Settings.apk, and looked through the files, and I'm not sure what to change.
I have to change \settings\res\xml\settings_headers.xml, correct? Specifically,
Code:
header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_performance" android:id="@id/performance_settings" android:title="@string/performance_settings_title" android:fragment="com.android.settings.performance.PerformanceSettings" />
I would also have to change \settings\res\values\strings.xml, specifically, the string referenced by "@string/performance_settings_title" so that I can have the correct name, correct?
And similarly, settings\res\drawable, for the icon.
The big question is, what do I replace with for "com.android.settings.performance.PerformanceSettings"? Do I need to move TricksterMod somewhere specific, or what would I reference? \data\app\com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod-1.apk?
After making all these changes, I'd simply recompile and push the Settings.apk back without signing, correct? Have I missed any steps?

That's what I would try BUT would just be that, to try, seems like you have everything else covered.
Hm. Well, that didn't work.
I successfully made the edits, recompiled, and pushed the file in place of the old Settings.apk.
The Settings app immediately disappeared, and trying to install it (selecting the .apk with a file manager) didn't work; it simply gave me an 'App failed to install'.
Any suggestions as to what I might have done wrongly?
Anyone?
Hi, I'm currently working on a custom rom. I have modded build.prop and now I would like to change the default settings for the rom. For example I would like allow install from Unknown Sources to be checked at first boot and some other stuff. My question is where in the system are these settings stored? I need to find the files so I can edit them. Please help
You could try decompiling the settings.apk abd search in the apk for default settings, don't know

I'm trying to create a new folder that I can then link to a themer action or hotspot (for example, a folder with direct dials), but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to do this. Is this possible? Should I revert to the default homescreen to create to the configure folder, then re-apply my themer theme? I can't give up themer now that I have it, but I'd really like to add some custom folders or categories..

Hi,
For now, Themer's hotspots can only be linked to the default Smart Category folders that have been provided. We recommend you change the folders image to a blank.png file so that it will provide the same effect
Stupid 10 post limit when I actually have a problem to report...
There's a Samsung feature that only works in some devices, and it is the ability to select several pictures to set them as the background of the lock screen, so it changes every time the screen is turned on. The only way to do this officially with A7 (2018) is through Samsung Themes, choosing a "multi-pack" background. There's no other possible way (you cannot select a couple of images from Gallery and set them as background, for example).
But there is a "hidden" app that is called My Interests, which lets you to choose multiple backgrounds for the lock screen. The problem with this is that if you try to launch it through an activity launcher it says that the app needs the storage permission to work, but you can't enable it because the request of that permission has not been declared in the app code. So I've edited it to add that request, and it works properly.
If you want to do it yourself, or just want to know what I have done:
To make this APK, I've edited the original APK with APK Editor Pro, and I've added in the AndroidManifest.xml the following line between the other requests for permissions:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Then I've built the app, and the generated APK file has been cloned with APK Cloner, in order to avoid conflicts with the original app.
To install it:
Install the attached APK
Install and open QuickShortcutMaker
In the search box, write updatos, it should appear one result which icon is a picture of a mountain
Open it and select the first element of the list, and then select "Try"
Accept the permission
Now you are able to choose the images you want with the "+" button, and then set them as the background of the lock screen
You can also add a widget to your home screen to add the activity as an icon, so it is quicker to change the backgrounds.
Just make a permission file and put it in system/etc/permissions

But in that case you would need root access.
I'm getting a "Clones are device locked" error when I do the "Try it" option.
I installed app cloner but I can't seem to do anything with it. Any ideas?
Edit: I made a clone of com.samsung.android.keyguardwallpaperupdatos.apk but when I try to set permissions, there is none available for storage. Agh.

So it looks like if I clone an app it can only be installed in the same device...
When I have time I will upload the edited APK without cloning and change the steps, because you will need to clone it.
Thanks for the feedback
So I did your steps, I downloaded the original APK from APKMirror, edited the XML and then cloned it.
I was able to launch the shortcut, and it let me select multiple backgrounds but it only applies one. I think Samsung might have blocked this... I'm currently using a Galaxy A50. Maybe I should try an older version?

It changes, but it takes some time. In other devices (where this feature is official) it changes every time you see the lockscreen, but with this method the change is not that frequent.

How did you make it work?
after doing all the installtion steps do this;
in quickshortcut maker app search ''updator'' instead of ''updatos''
there will be 2 search results open the first one and tap try now it should allow you to do this.
the trick is to open the one with updator mentioned in it. thats the official one preinstalled in the phone.

I know. But the thing is that the one that is preinstalled doesn't have the needed permissions registered, so they can't be enabled. That's why the APK file has to be edited, to manually add those permissions.
