Hi all,
Anyone help me how to remove these Chinese symbol in LEWA rom (bbs.lewaos.com/download.php)
I can not find the string in string.xml (PIM.apk and Phone.apk).
Thanks
Do you know what it means?
If you do, you could find a more logical place with that string...
Framework perhaps?

Hi did you ever find out how to remove or translate this text
I have ported a Lewa ROM and would like to clean up the Chinese letters Language is some of the stock lewa app's and framework such as the phone dialer too.

Remove Chinese symbol in LEWA rom:
You can remove the chinese characters by removing LocationProvider.apk (delete).
Within MmsFavoriteProvider.apk has SQLite database (. Db), I can open and edit the text.
The file is /res/raw/mmsfrovider.db (Preprogrammed messages).
Already quick texts are in arrays.xml of "TelephonyProvider.apk", putting what I want and recompile
Use this program:

WOW Thanks for tips @falcaobr :highfive:
Probably a dumb question but could I just replace the LocationProvider.apk with the one from my stock ROM or is the Lewa LocationProvider.apk framework specific
:victory:
Ok I removed the the LocationProvider.apk and the Chinese text is gone :good:
I have found The file /res/raw/mmsfrovider.db and I can edit the text with SQLite database as you suggest :good:
I have a problem with the quick texts arrays.xml of "TelephonyProvider.apk" I can not find arrays.xml within the .apk
I do have the option to send quick text replies in Chinese so I guess the file must be there somewhere (should I use apktool to decompile the apk)

Ok,
Test can replace LocationProvider, but does not affect anything, best to delete.
Yes, quick texts are arrays.xml.
TelefoneProvider.apk have to decompile with apktool and edit:
res/values/arrays.xml.
cheers

Hi Thanks @falcaobr,
I will use apktool to try locate the arrays.xml in /res/values as 7zip does not show "values" or unpack this
I deleted LocationProvider as you said and everything is normal and does not seem to affect anything as you have said except removing the chinese from the contacts.
Thanks for the help bro it is much appreciated

Hello Developers,
I want to know how to add the data toggle in notification.
I saw the need to change SystemUI.apk (xml and Smali) but this does not seem to be enough because I have the CF's.
Can you tell me more?
Thank you!
yes please
Yeah i was under the impression that it's Kernel/ROM dependent but its a massive feature im missing coming from a HTC desire running CM7 and im not up for testing the CM nightlies with a new baby to look after just in case my wife needs me asap lol
Please What do not say how to add the data toggle

Wrong thread. You can find out more on " Samsung Galaxy S2 Q&A"
No one answers in Q & A as seems to be the case here.
Why no one wants to unravel the mystery
cerede2000 is right, this is a key feature, that I personally would love to see, on a stockish sgs2 rom.
I've recently noticed the appearance of the data toggle, which was promising, but no way to customise.
perhaps now that the devs are getting more stable roms they could delve further into this?
Ah one can dream.
Hold power button... Data off. hehe
Otherwise, I think Cognition ROM has it.
Yes Cognition have it
But i would add to my stock rom
Juste need answer at what files modified for add data toggle ?
Thanks!

Posted on your other thread in Q&A... It's in SystemUI.apk, can't say where though.
I try to modify SystemUI.apk in smali files but have FC's
Are you sure is just SystemUI.apk ?
I do not understand when I put directly SystemUI.apk of Cognition ROM it works well.
However when I change my ROM from my stock SystemUI.apk XXKG3 j'obtient one of FC's SystemUI.apk.
Please help me.
Here is my SystemUI.apk : http://www.multiupload.com/15QBK0IX9U
What is wrong with my SystemUI changed.
Thank you!
The reason is that your stock ROM is odexed and the other is deodexed.
This thread should be in the Q&A section.
Absolutely not! I deodex my rom...
Please look at my SystemUI.apk to tell me if something is wrong.
Thank you

I didn't saw your nor cognition SystemUI.apk. but pushing the .png is not enough.
You should have to edit and modify .xml (baksmali) :
quickpanel_quick_settings.xml in /res/layout/
ids.xml and string.xml in res/values
don't touch to public.xml as it is auto generated when recompilation with APK_Manager
Not tested, but you should compare the files above

I not only added the png. I changed the xml files and smali files.
I edit by hand public.xml.
I'll let ApkManager do I see if I have no FC's.
Great! It's work!
We had to do to just let ApkManager public.xml!

Any chinese guy here?
Qq launcher is an adorable infant in early stages, very nice layout and beautiful.
Technically no real options, I'm going to keep this and stay up to date.
Dx, this launcher has got the most beautiful transitions I've ever seen. Its semi fugly and could use a facelift. Not alot of options either too. More then Qq but not by much.
Didn't install Tescent because I already got MIUI installed and its not in English
When installing Qq, becareful of it. It has alot of demanding permissions including calling contacts and texting them without your approval. Along with Dilly dallying with your system tools. Just keep an eye on it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
The permissions are something to be concerned about... Dxhome asked me to update from an external server and since I updated the data connection is continuously in use, other apps can't access the internet..
uninstalling for now

MIUIwiz still the best.
I'am already using Brigo's MIUIwiz version. Thing is, MIUIwiz is jerky @ 667 performance. I purposely test which lancher really fly at 667. And MIUIwiz does not, its still jerky no matter what preferences I select. But Tancent is really fast even @ 667. Tancent looks the best from the three. But its true they all feel suspicious. MIUIwiz, ported by our guys, safe, stable, complete package.
Hey i just noticed this! u guys having trouble with tancent? I' ve installed it perfectly and I dont see 'everythig' chinese, just 2 icons, a clock widget (although u tap on it and enter ur City name in English.) and folders named in chinese (which you can edit and name them in English) besides those two strange app icons i dont see anything written in chinese.

LOL it wont work at all
Reasons:
1: open the apk - you wont get a values folder without decompiling
2: the compiled xmls are binary xmls while the decompiled ones are normal (readable)
3: thats it!

thanks for link, i follow your guide to de-compile SystemUI.apk for editing, i used the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803813 to edit my systemui and when i move new systemui.apk to my phone, i lost my notification . I think i didn't understand exactly these sentences in you guide "Before using the new apk you need to extract the resources.arsc, then simply put it back in the new apk overwriting the original resources.arsc.
In WinRar it will give you the option to choose the compression method, and it's vital that you choose Store as the compression method..."
The resources.arsc file i have to put in the new apk is the one in the decompiled apk folder ?
Sorry for my poor english. THanks

No, it's the one from the newly built apk, simply extract it then add it straight back.

i think i did exactly to compile the apk because i didn't have got bootloop. But i didn't have good result of " dropdown background " editing. I was still fail, lost my notification bar again. It made me a headache three days
I dont know i was wrong in which step to change " dropdown background " into picture
btw when i used Theming tool do decompile Settings.apk, it was fail
i want to ask if any body tried already to remove menus from settings like i want to hide the about phone on stock settings.apk deodexed on jb 4.2 i want to get rid of some menus in my settings i ported dakele os to mtk6589 so i would like to ask if how to? since it is a ported rom some of the menus are not a feature of my stock rom and i want to hide or remove them just to prevent boot loop for example like this in the attachment below i want to get rid of the ad block or sensor_cali .. ..
i badly need help kinda excited to release my ported rom hehe
TIA:good::fingers-crossed:
uppdate: ive done some experement in settings_header.xml i tried to change the name of about phone to phone only and it works so my conclusion is settings_headers changes the appearance of the settings menu
I have not used ICS or JB much but it's possible.
I know exact process of how to do that on GB but not ICS. You'll have to decompile Settings.apk and look for the xml which controls the layout of app.

Which tool are you using to compile apps? And System apps don't need to be signed. Maybe that's the problem.
If you want, you can check out Ultimate Guide in Android Development Section which shows how to correctly compile system apps. Its sticky(noun, not an adjective ) there
