So good... nobody has clue about such things...... making icons still premature ???

Ripped off the code of some icon pack:
Code:
com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.youtube.app.froyo.phone.HomeActivity
com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.youtube.HomeActivity
com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.youtube.app.honeycomb.Shell$HomeActivity
com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.youtube.app.tablet.HomeActivity
com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.youtube.HomePage
In the KA10 Rom, the activity is com.google.android.youtube/com.google.android.youtube.app.honeycomb.Shell$HomeActivity.
Otherwise, for activity names in general, extract/view the apk and open AndroidManifest.xml. Look for android.intent.action.MAIN.
Then look for the <activity> above it. The name is the activity name.

I have all activites ... You see that $ sign in the activity highlighted ,,, its not accepted in eclipse when you debug or export the apk (iconpack)... its not accpeted in eclipse , i know many of u dont use eclipse or standard way of making apk.... but i'm sure there is work around to replace the $ sign... i asked over at the anroid developer group today... will see what experts say....
I thanked u for the reply... good man

Thank you for thanking my post, you good man.
Interesting about the eclipse thing. Perhaps you'd need an escape character?
On PC, I used Notepad++ to view the *.xml files. On my phone, I used Root Explorer's "View as text".
My noobish suggestion is that maybe you should try decompile the YouTube.apk and view it in eclipse, if that's possible. See what eclipse does with the $ in the activity name.
Or maybe, in the end after all editing, open the *.xml with Notepad++ and add the $ manually.

You open the pack in eclipse after all work finished... i do xml in notepad+... its in end stage you use eclipse...it seems my thanx was for nothing..:silly: . Either you can debug or sign as apk.... in that stage if there is anythinh wrong in the package , you wont be able to sign or debug the apk... so you will know what is wrong , it will show in log window......

Were you ever able to find out how to theme for Youtube? I'm having this same problem.

[Q] How to set livewallpaper auto enabled on fresh flash of ROM?

Hello web masters and developers,
I've got a noob question...
I've got Jusada's ICSunday Final ROM (all credits to Jusada, and of course I've got his permission to do moding), which I modified for my personal needs.
Until now I've added many options that missed in original release (so it's not barebone anymore) like live wallpapers, torch, RE, ScanMedia, battery drain fix and GPS fix, transparent status bar and modified Acheps CM theme (all credits to their developers, u can find the topics here in Ace forum) etc.
There is couple of things I currently cannot resolve and that drives me crazy.
When I make a fresh install of the ROM, it starts with default wallpaper (which I modified too). But since I often use my favorite livewallpaper, i really need it to be set by default from the system. Now, I've got Livewallpaperspicker.apk installed and working. I can put the livewallpaper's apk file in the /system/app and to be installed by default, but how to make it enabled by default instead of the static default_wallpaper.jpeg inside framework_res.apk?
Where in which file I should enable it bu default?
Thank you for your patience, and also excuse me for my bad english, and If I break the rules with this thread!
Regards!
P.S: Excuse me for the stupid thread title, I couldn't figure out a better one...

Obviously no one knows, or it's too difficult to explain for noobs like me... Sad... I search on Google but either I don't search with correct keyword or there are no such thread/topic/lesson...

Here is all the info you need, figure out yourself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13649923&postcount=2
The line should be without the space (glitch in XDA forums LOL) in com.android.wallpaper
<string name="default_wallpaper_component">com.android.wallpaper/.nexus.NexusWallpaper</string>
not the one u see in the post

Thanks for the reply mate, but it seems that there is no "value" folder inside my /res folder. Anyway I searched for strings.xml inside other folders in /res folder but... no success... I'll extract the ROM's package right now and will search inside all folders for strings.xml and will see if such a file exist... Thanks btn pressed for the reply and for the idea
P.S: I've found the file that contains keyword "default_wallpaper_component" in it. It's framework.odex. Now I've got to figure out first how to edit it (with notepad++ there are a bunch of unusable characters) and what exactly to write to enable my favorite_livewallpaper.apk by default. Because it's gonna be normal, pre-installed .apk file (not inside the LiveWallpapers.apk) and I don't know how to call it inside the string... Damned, this is gonna be harder than I thought But... I like to be hard, if there are good people that wont mind to teach me or tip me for the answer)) Thanks

I didn't say that I'm modder. I'm modding only Jusada's ICSunday ROM, and only for my personal use... anyhow, thanks for the tips, and replies. No offence, but... sometimes noobs want's to learn too, u know... keep it in mind.

As I said before, I need just an advise on how to do-that. I don't need someone to "serve it in golden plate" All I needed was a little hint and you gave it to me, that's why I thanked you. And as I said before, I searched Google and xda but with no success - obviously I didn't know how to "ask", wrong keyword etc.
After your hint I remembered that I read somewhere that not all folders are visible with win rar (for example) and they need to be decompiled in a special way. I searched again and found APKTool, now I'll install it (inside Windows folder, i read) and will begin to learn how-to.
That's the way to learn I think?

The visual portion in Eclipse is for layout xml files. If your xml is just a plain xml it will not do anything for you visually.
What exactly are you trying do?
Use Google to find tutorials about xml file creation. A simple defined search such as "android xml tutorial" returns quite a bit of info.

Well im trying to build a systemui. And i know i can pnly build it from scratch.
But the trouble im facing is i cant even start a project related to what i want to do..
I read and search for tutorials beyond tutorials but still cant find anything anout opening a window to do that.
Just some tutorials stating that what relative layout and linear layouts and some about how to add features related.
Havent looked into videos though. Because what i saw at the first page of google was about how to install adt plugin.
So the main problem im facing now is, could anyone give me some tips or guides to open a window to start my next phase of learning
I hereby support an OFF-Topic thread.

I'm going to assume, probably a bad idea (lol), that you mean for a sony device as that is what is in your signature. Why not pull apart an existing systmeui from that device and go through it to see what stuff is doing? Then you can create what you want.
Here is a link for a tutorial about a Sense device but the basic idea is similar for all devices just the procedure might be a little different. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1453869
Also, in this forum are threads on decompiling the systemui.apk.

[TUT] Creating Custom Batteries for Simplistic Framework V3.5+

I'll make this short, and straight to the point ..
Requirements:
Apktool
Command Line/Terminal slight knowledge
Battery Icons and the name of the original author of the icon
2 Minutes (Hopefully)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The How-To:
Download the template battery from the attachments
Decompile it using apktool
Edit AndroidManifest.xml, look for (package="com.xxx"), and change that to a package name of your choosing.
DO NOT use the same package name, you have to change it for each battery you create.
Now go to /res/values/ and open strings.xml
Edit the Battery Name, the original author (Leave as Unknown if you don't know who created the battery) and the compiler name (your name)
Add your battery icons to /drawable-xhdpi/ (or /drawable-xxhpi if you have a bigger resolution icons) replacing the old ones.
Now build the apk using apktool, and sign it
Install the apk, choose the battery from the custom battery section in Simplistic Control, and you're good to go.
You are free to distribute it or even publish it on the PlayStore.

[Q] How to change the list on press action or bg in Xperia U devices?

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to this but I wanted to know how I can change the list pressed animation style in Xperia U? I mean the white background glow on pressing and holding any list button in menus or tabs or buttons, for example see the following photo (attachments), how the background of the notification has turn to white (fading).
I thought there might be a. 9.png file for that, but when I started searching for in the drawable folder of framework-res.apk, I wasn't able to find it?
So I wanna know that am I searching wrongly or there is no such file and just a xml code which I'm not able to get my hands on because of lack of my knowledge of decompiling the apks. I tried decompiling it by apktool but it won't budge. Also to edit pngs I am using a simple technique (posted by a xda user, sorry for not recalling your name but thanks) that is to just open or extract the roms through 7zip and then just copy them back to the respective apk file. This seems to be working as I was able to create my own lockscreen. So please help me in finding where I'm going wrong.
Thanks in advanced...

You must decompile the framework-res.apk and then, search in /drawable-hdpi folder the image. Its name is notification-normal-bg.9.png or something like that. Edit it with photoshop, and, when you have all that you want, compile the framework-res.apk and change it in your phone. Do a backup before do anything.

First of all thanks for your advice, but as it turns out the Sony isn't using that file?? And also I just did it with my normal method (described before), so I guess it might be a problem that I'm not decompiling it, but as it turns out I don't know exactly how to. So can you suggest me a Guide or something like that through which I can learn to do it without any problems...?? Because last I time tried it, I got a failed app! Please help, thanks in advance...
