Hi all,
I have decompiled the keyboard from JellyBean (LatinImeGoogle.apk) and was look through the .xml files.
I want to remove the "-" from the smiley faces. So
Code:
:-)
becomes
Code:
:)
In the ICS keyboard I know it was easy, the file to edit was something like res/values/strings.xml
However in JB that file does not seem right. I tried a few other files and even did a GREP search for the smiley strings yet still could not find it.
Any help provided would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
+1 for this!

Linux?
You could try with a for loop for every file and then let grep do its job.
Or is that what you already did?

grep -r "" directory
It should be fine, also I will try to find it in my build tree.
Did anyone figure this out? I let grep run for close to an hour and nothing happened.

Did you append a directory at the end of the command. Even though an entire repo shouldn't take long at all.

There is a rom for the hero that I am interested in porting to the eris. I have dsixda's kitchen, and have experimented with it. I just need a little bit of instruction or a guide through the porting process. I am also a little confused with update-scripts and updater-scripts. Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone? I was trying to port aospCMod, the gingerbread rom that has a working camera on the hero. I am confused in dsixda's ktchen when it asks about update scripts and updater scripts. Please somebody help.
Update: I tried it. I have no idea AT ALL if it works. If anyone wants to try it, PM me. However, do it at your own risk. I have no idea if it might mess up your phone. I'm too scared to try it on my own phone.
I tried port it also. I got it all working but the softkey and the button lights.

Did you just use the port feature in the kitchen or did you edit anything in build.prop? I wasn't sure if I should change things from heroc to desirec in build.prop as well.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I can post my build.prop if you like.
my build.prop is ok but I tried flashing mine last night but I got an update script error on line 83 installing busy box which I didn't even add to the rom. Any ideas?
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You changed it from "updater-script" to "update-script"?
Leave it as "updater-script".
So which option in the kitchen should I choose: concert the script, let the kitchen create it for me, or do nothing?
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
Do nothing.
Ok I tried again this time there was a prop error so I assume that means my build.prop is wrong. Could you please post your build.prop like you mentioned before?
Edit: disregard that I know what's wrong I don't need it.

If you guys don't mind, could you post your build.prop?

You can extract build.prop files from any ROM you like by unpacking the "boot.img" file.
To unpack the boot.img file, the tools you need to do this are:
- split_bootimg.pl (which needs perl)
- gunzip, cpio, and perl
If you are exclusively on Windows, you can install Cygwin to get a Unix emulation shell (command window) with all of the above utilities. (The Cygwin installer is quite straightforward and easy to use).
You can find the "split_bootimg.pl" perl script plus a detailed tutorial on how to do this at this android-dls.com page
Apologies in advance if you already knew this.

I wanted this so bad that I just ended up making it myself.
This is a slightly modified Contacts.apk which has a scaled dialer pad for those of us running a different DPI than stock and don't want the dialer all squished into the corner.
***Please don't attempt this if you aren't sure.***
To install FIRST BACK UP your current Contacts.apk (and Contacts.odex if you have one)
Two Methods:
Using adb:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/Contacts.odex
adb reboot
OR using Root Explorer:
Copy this Contacts.apk to your SD card
Navigate to /system/app
Mount as R/W
Rename Contacts.apk (and Contacts.odex if you have it) to Contacts.apk.bak (and Contacts.odex.bak)
Copy the new Contacts.apk and paste it in /system/app
Change permissions of pasted file to rw-r--r--
reboot phone
Contacts.apk
Wouldn't root explorer work also. Might be easier for the newbies

Good point. Updated first post. Thank you.
Works perfectly!
Thanks for the Multi DPI Dialer Camoto...Worked like a champ and now I have full dialer at 200DPI on the phone.
Works great. Thanks. The only problem i see is that this doss not change the incall keypad. Any fix on that?

I didn't realize that. I have tried a few changes here but I can't seem to figure out which XML file controls the layout for the in-call dialer...

I have given up on this in favor of using Go Dialer EX which scales and is pretty slick.

Hey, I tried googling and searching this but couldn't find my answer so thought I'd ask.
I just want to change the default settings of a ROM, what files do I edit and what's the basic syntax? I tried looking around Settings.apk but couldn't find the right file, I'm not sure what the structure of the apk is though.
Thanks in advance
Maybe build.prop in /system
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Can't seem to find the settings in build.prop, just system values. I just want to change what the options under the Settings app are by default in the ROM.
Default Settings are in:
"/frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml"
See Link
best regards

Thanks, that link shows the exact file I'm after. Sadly, however, the HTC ROM I'm working on appears to have a different structure. At least I know the file I'm looking for though, but sadly searching for the name doesn't do much because Ubuntu's search is useless
on Ubuntu i'm using Notepad++ search function (you will need Wine)
it's really awesome, especially with projects like linux kernel, AOSP, etc.

Really? lol
Code:

A lot of overhead to search eh?
I meant for finding files, not strings within those files, Gedit can do that easily

Wich error?
I'm not sure...
I can resize APKs for you, I just did one for invasion and that worked.
About fedora:
Open a terminal and type this (w/o quotes):
"python"
Tell me the output
"import gtk
import pygtk"
Give me the FULL output of your new-opened terminal.
Then try to launch the SAP file from my tool.

Ill start with my story...I want to modify settings.apk and put a few of my own apps in and change the appearance a little bit. I decompile with apk manager and i get res, smali, and AndroidManifest.xml. I don't get apktool.yml, i dont have a problem with this with a jb 4.3 settings.apk. I try to re-compile after edits but I can't because of the missing yml file. Does settings.apk for 4.4 have dependencies I require? Im running slimkat 4.4 for the SGH-T889. I just began learning and find this new world very intresting. Any help, tips, and advice would be amazing! Thank you for time

I have place framework-res.apk in C:\Users\Droid\Desktop\APK-Multi-Tool\other folder. I took it out of the framework folder of the un zipped ROM. This seems to work with 4.3 without a problem. I'm stumped haha

You need to install it before decompiling.
I suggest you to use "Android Multitool" (Do not confuse with APK Multitool).
It has nice GUI insterface.
Try with it.
There is menu to install framework.

See these are why tools like APKMulitool are not that friendly.. My suggestion to you is Google "apktool" find the Google developers site, download it.. Place all files in folder on C:\ and name it apktool..open cmd prompt at that destination..so it would be C:\apktool, then type in cmd prompt:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
this installs the framework..
To decompile apk..place that apk in that folder then type in cmd prompt
Code:
apktool d settings.apk
to recompile..
Code:
apktool b settings

Hi there,
sorry for warming up this thread. I don't find the Settings.apk:
C:\Program Files\_Android\SDK\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
59973133 device
C:\Program Files\_Android\SDK\platform-tools>adb pull /system/app/Settings.apk
remote object '/system/app/Settings.apk' does not exist​
So the device (Kyocera KC-S701 unrooted) seems to be connected, but no Settings.apk. Also not when using "adb shell" with "cd system/app" + ls.
A bunch of files but no Settings.apk.
Any ideas?
