[Q] Re-sizing apk on note i717 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I have an .apk file that I need to be resized to fit my note i717 screen. I took this .apk from a Android tv box. When I install the apk on my note it crops out some of the screen and I cant use it.
I read there are ways I can make the .apk fit an all android devices.
I am not a developer. I do not know how to do this. I will pay if someone can do this for me or provides me with a solution.

I'll do some research and report back...ID suggest looking at how the PA and Hybrid ROMs offered up here handle layout and DPI. The PA ROM offers options for layout. Check that out.

How do I get 2.2 apps to work on 2.1?

I been noticing developers getting 2.2 apps to work on 2.1
I would like the NexusKang Live Wallpaper and its only for 2.2
How do I go about making it work also for 2.1?
If its possible is the method used the same for all 2.2 apps to make them work for 2.1?

The method to backport apps depends on the app. Some, well, most cant be back ported. Nexuskang im fairly sure cannot be and kmobs didnt want to make compatible with 2.1...was meant to replace nexusmod livewallpaper. Which is extremely similar, and honestly as close as youre going to get. If you look around on file hosting sites u might find a copy of it since its no longer in the market. Or you can buy nexus revamped. I think it supports custom backgrounds now. Idr...u can check n let me know. The free version even might possibly. I have the wallpaper background pngs identical to nexuskang (which is why i liked it soo much lol) ill upload the if you want them.
Edit: pro version supports custom backgrounds

I have a version of it on my computer.
I also have Nexus revaped, so if you upload the pngs or I take them from the NexusKang myself, and resign the apk, would it work like NexusKang?

[Q] Stock ICS with Samsung functionalities ?

Hey,
I was wondering if it was possible to install stock ICS on the Galaxy S 3, while keeping new useful Samsung's functionalities (S-Beam, All Share Play, Smart Stay, Direct Call, Smart Alert, Tap to Top, Popup Play, S-Voice, …).
Actually, I would like to feel I'm on ICS on my GS3, and not on a Gingerbread-styled TouchWiz. I know I could install a third party launcher, but it customizes only the launcher, and not the status bar or the Settings for example.
Thanks !
CM-Zoom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273 is probably the closest ROM out there atm, its Samsung ROM with a bunch of Cyanogen stuff included.
I dont know of any AOSP-based ROMs that can run the Samsung app suite yet.

Most Samsung features depend on the TW framework. So few things will probably never work on AOSP based roms. However, for a lot of the features you named, there are alternatives. For instance, pop up play isn't a Samsung specific feature. But overall, what you're asking for will not work. Maybe in time, but I wouldn't get your hopes up...
Mmmh...
Unfortunately, I am not so surprised by your answers
And what about theming ? Is it possible to create a theme like this one and install it on the original Samsung ROM ?

Why don't you use that theme?

It's written "The Theme is just for deodexed Rom's and is tested on Omega V3-V5!". Is the stock Samsung ROM deodexed ? Even if I am a developer, I dont know much about Android development
If it turns out to be deodexed, I could adapt his project to my needs (as said before, I don't know too much but it's a good way to learn !)
Oh, and forgot something in my initial post :
What bothers me in TouchWiz is replaced apps like Calendar and Contacts. This cannot be solved by theming. Is it possible to install these separately ?
I know I am a little picky and want the best of the two worlds, but isn't that the strength of Android ?

You can install any replacement app you want. Some of them might rely on a certain framework though (e.g. Cyanogenmod) and might not work. But any replacement app from the Play Store should be fine.

Of course, but what about stock ICS applications I am used to use ? Isn't it possible to "extract" them from original ICS ?
ICS (afaik) requires vendors to include the original framework and theming so that apps don't break on heavily modified phones.
The goo.im stock apps should work, but create a nandroid backup before attempting to flash it through CWM

You most likely want the following:

Ok. So ICSwiz + goo.im apps should do the trick.
I won't try it right now due to a busy schedule, but maybe in one week or so.
I will post it there my results, in case anyone is interested.
Thanks for your replies

Download the CM9 Rom and replace the desired apps in /system/app.
Make sure you remove the samsung counterpart, e.g. if you want the original calendar, remove SecCalendar (or something) and calendarprovider, add original calendar and calendarprovider.
Don't be stupid and only replace what you really want!
THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR PHONE, CONTACTS AND DOWNLOAD!
There are many threads where they offer a black google apps pack, search for yourself if interested.

Apps with floating touch??

Hi,
Does anyone know of any application that uses the floating touch of xperia sola??
I saw a video where the phone was inside a box and they draw in the screen while the box was closed...but the only way I know to use this, is with the animated theme and with the integrated browser...
Hope that at least sony creates something to use it...

[Q] How to get Apple-Style Emojis on JB

I just bought a Blu Advance 4.0, a simple, cheap Android phone. It runs 4.2 (lastest system I can run), and I've been trying like crazy to replace some system files or something so I can view emoticons in iOS style system-wise, but I just can't figure it out! I found a good, working keyboard (com.qisiemoji.inputmethod in the Play store), but I want to display the iOS style emojis. I actually have OSX, so I can extract the PNGs from the official Apple TTF (as done here before: on github, find /tmm1/emoji-extractor). I've been looking around everywhere, and I just can't find a way to do this yet. Any ideas? (Yep, I'm rooted)

Thanks for your reply. I checked out that App, and the keyboard works flawlessly! However, I still have the Android B&W emoticons displayed in-app when I'm typing.

Galaxy Themes possible with root?

I received my Galaxy Tab S7+ and much to my dismay - Galaxy Themes doesn't work. Hell, it doesn't even exist on our tablets. I did not know this prior to purchasing the tablet.
I have grown very fond of using Hex themes to modify my OneUI to have AOSP icons and what not on my Samsung phones and was hoping to do the same to my Tab S7+. When I download the actual .apk file from Sammobile and installed it, I pretty much got nowhere as when I click on the app it just takes me to the apps permissions.
Now, I had no real intention of rooting this tablet as I just didn't need to, but this would legitimately qualify as a reason to obtain root. Thus, my question being - is it possible to somehow install Samsung's Galaxy Themes app and have it work via root? Has anyone had success in somehow theming their Samsung tablet?
I'm loving the tablet, but absolutely despise the boring blue theme and certain aspects of the notification shade that I change with hex themes/galaxy themes.
Cheers!
I use the Nova Launcher instead. So I can use the icon set of my choice.
I'll believe, that root doesn't help in this case

It's not the stock launcher icons that bother me, oddly enough, it's the quick setting icons, quick settings colour, notification divider, etc. things that can't be changed with a launcher.
I tried using the app named One Shade by TreyDev but there are bugs so its none too enjoyable.
I am no expert, but rooting will not help. You need to have a Galaxy phone ROM ported over that supports theming. I own the Note Pro 12.2 LTE and I am running the ported Note 7 ROM with theme support and I am loving it. Relax, it is a new device and someone will surely port a ROM over that supports theming.
Use Goodlock to change things like the quick settings.

I've just discovered goodlock and wow! It's like xposed for Samsung devices.

In developer options, you can change icon shape and quick setting accent color.
