Hi. I have a question. Miui supporter of turkey. I want to edit the application settings.apk miui v4 rom.
I want to add their own use in the application of a tweak. but public.xml 'I want to add it to another command line code used by miui. What should I do about this.
To give an example:
I want to add code
<public type="drawable" name="miui_tr_tools" id="0x7f020000" />
MIUI original code
<public type="drawable" name="about_device_ab_solid" id="0x7f020000" />
id="0x7f020000" />
codes are the same. What should I do here it is. Thank you very much in advance. I apologize for that English is bad.
This Is My First Guide So Please Forgive Me If I Forget Something
In This Guide I Will Show You How to Make A New Activity Like For example :

Requirements:
Any Tool that can Decompile & Recompile with it's requirements

My Friend Saqib Nazm Has Made A Very Good Guide About How to Add Any Option In Settings.apk Which May Prove Helpful In This Guide : [Complete Tutorial] How to add any App/Option in Settings.apk
I Will Be Using Credits In About Phone As An Example:
First Of All You Should Know How To Decompile Settings.apk ( This Guide May Prove HelpFul : How to Decompile/Recompile Apk with Apk Multitool + Decompile/Recompile Jar Files
First Of All Extract And Decompile Your Settings.apk
_
Now Navigate To /res/xml/ And Open
- device_info_settings.xml (If You Want It In The About_Phone Section)
- Go Here If You Want To Add To Main Menu
Now Go To The End And Add (Or Whereever You Want It To Be)
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/device_credit" android:key="credits_info" android:summary="@string/device_credit_summary">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.deviceinfo.Credits" />
</PreferenceScreen>
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Now Navigate To /res/values
And Open Strings.xml
Then Add This At The End
Code:
<string name="credits_activity_title">Credits</string>
<string name="device_credit">Credits</string>
<string name="device_credit_summary"></string>
<string name="credit_dev_header">Developed By:</string>
<string name="credit_dev_name">"Name Here"</string>

<string name="credit_name">"-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here"</string>
Note : \n Is used to add a new line
_
Now Download The File From The Attachment And Paste The Files Into Your Decompiled Directory
_
Now Edit AndroidManifest.xml
And Add This To The End
Code:
<activity android:label="@string/credits_activity_title" android:name=".deviceinfo.Credits">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
_
Now Recompile The Apk And Then Decompile it Again
_
In The Directory You Just Decompiled The Apk Navigate To /res/values/
And Open Public.xml
Search For : device_info_credits
And Copy The ID Beside What You Just Searched
Then Navigate To /smali/com/android/settings/deviceinfo/
And Open Credits.smali
And Find This Code
Code:
.line 20
const v0, [U]0x7f050039[/U]
Change the UnderLined Part To The ID You Just Copied From Public.xml
_
Now You May Recompile Your Settings.apk
Please Remember To Sign The APK
*ScreenShots Are Available Within The Hidden Contents*
*How To Change This For WhatEver You Want*
*Here I Will Be Explaining How You Can Modify This Guide To Include Whatever You Want*
First In /res/xml/device_info_settings.xml *OPTIONAL*
Change The Codes In Red To What You Desire
Change The Code In Green To What You Desire As Well But Be Cautious About This As Most Things Will Use This
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/[COLOR="Red"]device_credit[/COLOR]" android:key="[COLOR="Red"]credits_info[/COLOR]" android:summary="@string[COLOR="red"]/device_credit_summary[/COLOR]">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.deviceinfo[COLOR="Green"].Credits[/COLOR]" />
</PreferenceScreen>
_
Now In /res/values/Strings.xml *IMPORTANT*
Change The Codes In Red To What You Set In The Previous Step
Change The Codes In Green To Whatever You Want To Be Displayed
Code:
<string name="[COLOR="Red"]credits_activity_title[/COLOR]">[COLOR="green"]Credits[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR="red"]device_credit[/COLOR]">[COLOR="green"]Credits[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR="red"]device_credit_summary[/COLOR]"></string>
<string name="[COLOR="red"]credit_dev_header[/COLOR]">[COLOR="Green"]Developed By:[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR="red"]credit_dev_name[/COLOR]">[COLOR="Green"]Name Here[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR="red"]credit_header[/COLOR]">[COLOR="green"]Thanks To:[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR="red"]credit_name[/COLOR]">"[COLOR="green"]-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here \n
-Name Here[/COLOR]"</string>
_
Now In The Attached File *OPTIONAL*
Rename The Both Files In My Settings.apk
The Smali FIle Rename To What You Set In Step 1 (The One In Green)
Inside the smali file change all the occurences accordingly
in Public.xml to get the ID use the name of the renamed xml file
Now In Android Manifest
Change The Stuff In Red To What You Have Already Set
Code:
<activity android:label="@string/[COLOR="Red"]credits_activity_title[/COLOR]" android:name=".deviceinfo[COLOR="Red"].Credits[/COLOR]">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Edit The xml file in my zip accordingly
And Now Follow My Guide

Hiya all
I've got this piece of code from an xml in my settings.apk (SecSettings actually) that contains tutorials on motion settings.

In there, all the red parts contain tutorials on settings that don't actually work on my device, and for OCD sake, I don't want them appearing in my settings because of it.
But simply cutting them out of that file will make the settings app crash whenever i open that menu :crying:
So question is: is there a way to hide these settings without impairing their functions?
XML style ofcourse, as I don't dare touch smali
bump! I am still struggling with this :crying:
Is there really no simple xml line for this?
If not, is it possible to resize the not-working menu's to zero pixels? (thus making them invisible)
for the record, adding android:visibility="gone" / androi:visibility="invisible" and android:layout_height="0.0dip" all do nothing
you need to remove also the line inside a smali sir. removing the line will just force the app to close . i also want to remove a category sir, but im not good at smali so i just remove the strings and leave it blank xD
sorry for my english xD
Hello. im trying to create a menu for my apps ( xposed etc.. ) bloatware apps .
I started with the bloatware apps.
I was able to link them in settings + I found the list of setting will be long so I decide to create a submenu of categories.
here is the pic attached when I click on fido_menu it force close...
and here is what I did :
I in settings_headers:
<header android:title="@string/header_category_geo" />
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_fidomenu" android:id="@id/fido_menu" android:title="fido menu" android:fragment="xml.Fido_Menu.xml" /> im not sure about the fragment what do u think?
and the Fido_Menu.xml that I created
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/fido_tab"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:settings="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.settings."> do I have to create a samli file?

you missunderstand!!!
he said, if u want to change the shown BBM background, you need to change IT IN THE BBM app!!! (not in framework-res)
& i guess with ''sory i don't using cm 11'' you are reffering to his SIGNATURE. its his signature NOT A MESSAGE TO YOU
atleast give him a thx, as he found out that the png is located in bbm app
