(Q) updater-script safe text editor app? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am just curious as to whether or not there's an app which I can use to edit an updater-script? I know script manager has a built-in script editor but I am not sure if it's ltr/rtl observant.

[q] transparent mms

Can anyone tell me how to make the background transparent? What in values do i modify?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
There is some backgrounds in the drawable folders of the mms.apk. They are all .9.png. So i would think if you edit those and redraw them you may be able to get the desired effect you are looking for. At least that would be my first thing to try rather then trying to recode them.

any one have any ideas? this is driving me crazy
Try your styles XML in the values folder. Of course you have to decompile and compile properly if you aren't already.

XML editing

I've been trying to change the background of some apps to transparent, everything that I've read makes it sound as if all I have to do is add one line to the manifest and bam it's done, but I can't get it to work, is it realy just as easy as editing one line or do I need to do more, any advice or links on how to would be appreciated...
You shouldn't have to edit any xml files to change backgrounds. Simply use 7-zip to open the archive and navigate to your .png background file (usually in the /res/drawable_hdpi folder) edit it with your program of choice, (gimp, photoshop, etc) then put your modified png back in the original folder before pushing to your device.
But if there is no background .PNG file then the XML would be the place to go correct

yes, if there is no png, then edit the xml value #ff0000 to #000000
just in the res/styles xml, I've tried that and when I try to recompile I get an error message, I'm using apk manager 4.9...
did you sign it first?
what I do is decompile, edit the xml file, recompile and then sign, but I can't recomplie...
lol, misread that last one, sorry. Which error are you getting?
Would you be able to troubleshoot this in IRC?
What I mean is that Im trying to the add the transpancy line because there isn't a color for the background, I'm wanting to make the app transparent, and the error in the log says unknown or can't be found

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That means your apk has dependencies that it can't find when recompiling. If you know which dependency it is, you can choose option 10 when decompiling and follow the prompts. If the original compiler didn't recompile the resources.arsc file as well, i believe you're hosed, since you can't find the dependency.
Would that be the reason some apps wont decompile

What would an example of a dependency be
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
this is the app that I can't decompile or recompile...
An example would be a system app being dependent on framework.
If I have time I'll take a look later tonight.

Thank you for your help

No problem. Glad to help.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I reviewed the apk, and am certain now, there is a dependency for the app which causes the error code when decompiling. There isn't really a way to tell what it's dependent on at this time, so i tried trial and error from the system/app folder as well as framework-res.apk, all with no luck. Sorry.
Thank you for helping
