I already tryed to increase the max. resolution to 8000x8000px for jpg a week ago but it didnt worked
This file exists 2 times and I flashed them correctly to the wave (tested with sTunes after flash), the limits seems to be set somewhere else...
The image sizelimit is also higher than 4096000 byte (or what it is) - about 10 mb.

I would have liked to tweak this setting to 200 or more and see but unfortunately there are not that many good apps to install.
<MaxInstallCount>
<NativeApp value="300"/>
<NativeWidget value="50"/>
<JavaApp value="-1"/>
</MaxInstallCount>
Btw, what does this Java value mean ? Could it be that it controls whether to show icon in Menu or not ?

@ st0rmi
Thanks.
Yes, via sTune this file is twice.
It seems writeprotected files are most in folder SystemFS... as Backup.
If you check via TriX Firmware files. Then Contents.xml is in *.FFS... maybe edit before flashing. Then changes in both files on handset.
Not tested yet...
@ rex4u
At the moment I have nothing changed in this file, so no idea what happens.
Maybe soon few tests...
Best Regards

@adfree: Yeah thats what I have done
I just used sTunes to copy the contents.xml back to my pc and view if the edited xlm are really on my phone because it didnt worked...

@adfree
No bro' I was offering my own suggestions to this configuration file.
It might allow us to install more than 100 apps in phone and show in Menu.
Second it might show Java apps icons in Menu.
My 2 cents

xml parser
please help me
a want to parser punker xml data base.

it's into the 'app counter' field, '-1' may be means 'unlimited' number of java apps installable, but I haven't read yet the whole xml... anyway if it is editable it's an interesting thing..

I saw that file a while ago while looking for something inside my phone (very special thing that made me to copy the whole phone)
there is a lot of interesting things but i never tried tweaking it
Maybe if someone have enough knowledge to add few new extensions and test them
Also removing some stupid limits would be awsome
Sorry i've no time to test that with you guys but would appreciate results
Best Regards

You dont need modif ffs or other just use pfs file to modif what you want and in real time direct phone flash pfs file and not have write protect problem
Just says Thank
Example file : dont give attention of boot img cause i dont take time to do it in 800x480 but its 400x240 then its make bug but with pfs file you can upload anything you want to change !!!
Good hack !!!
Maybe with this you can create dual boot or i dont know what a pro smoker can do, you can also try to put her rc2 or rc1 directory i dont try it !!!
Download example, in this one you can see SystemFS and Registry directory, off course you can put her all directory you want to flash pfs, using trix to modified or wave remaker more faster :
https://rapidshare.com/files/809973956/Circle.pfs
An idea its like you can make your one firmware with personal Widget installed and other idea welcome....Just take file registry and Widget folder on phone and put it on PFS

PowerOnOff Animation

Lets start again with these Pictures *.img
Header
compress LZ
Okidoki... seems compressed.
Now I found in bada SDK files.
Original BMP files from little bada...
Check out:
PowerOnOff.ini
AnimationType=bmp
Then also PowerOnFlash=power_on.swf
Maybe we find working solution.
Theory:
1.
Find way to decompress or compress to make valid *.img.
2.
Change *.img into something else accepted from handset...
*.bmp
*.swf
Maybe QMG is possible, like in Themes?
*** who knows...
3.
Do nothing... wait...
Best Regards

I think it's more power_on.swf than img files.
If possible if I find someone who works on flash, will try second possibility.

Sorry,能用中文解释下吗?thanks

What we know about *.img
Resolution is 480 x 800 Pixel (S8500/S8530).
"Level 1"
Find *.img with 1 Color...
I found black.
Then I replaced all files by same black Image...
"Level 2"
I need second Color... I think I know where to find... I think it will be white...
Best Regards

So I have now 2 Colors. Black and white, both are 480 x 800 Pixel.
If you compare both files you see around 391 Differences... hmm most Value:
F8/F0
Please. I wish to find more 1 Color *.img files.
Maybe then users with more brain can find algo, or Tool exists to create these Pictures...
Best Regards

I think I know what it could be... maybe.
TIFF compressed Bitmap *.tif ... LZW Compression.
Maybe some Header changes...
Edit...
Several Compressions for TIFF exists... depend on Grafik Tool...
PowerOnOff.ini is 3 times in Wave... if different depend on Branding:
\Registry\
\Settings\Default\Registry
\SystemFS\Settings\PreConfiguration\Default\Registry
All 3 files are not writeprotected. You could:
(A) Delete PowerOnOff.ini
Silence + no Animation
(B) Edit PowerOnOff.ini with other path to folder... maybe:
PowerOnAniImage0=/Mount/Mmc/PowerOnOff/Image/poweron_00.img
instead writeprotected folder
PowerOnAniImage0=/SystemFS/PowerOnOff/Image/poweron_00.img
Best Regards
Edited again.
Tested, yes it works.
I've changed path to Memory Card. Now I can play faster...
Very simple.
1.
Copy PowerOnOff folder to card.
Attention, if you choose subfolder, my path is only for Root... check exact folder or edit PowerOnOff.ini again.
2.
Copy my example to folder:
\Registry\

Nice how do you extract the bmp files?
Edit: look this video you will love

... ... Friends IMG to edit the files and use them in the device I found this program that uses the QT ... thank by psycoy
http://www.4shared.com/file/weq4iPSk/Alcis_IMg_editor.html

@ psycoy
Please, can you upload 1 selfmade *.img as example?
I'm not smart enough to use your Tool.
*.img not open
And if I import an *.bmp and save... the result is not the same like valid *.img.
Please enlight my little brain.
Thanx in advance.
Best Regards

I've reduced PowerOnOff.ini to only poweron_00.img and poweroff_00.img.
So I can faster Brute force...
And I see better result...
Attention!
Once I made an mistake in PowerOnOff.ini and result was Bootcycle.
So please only try at your own risk.
Best Regards

Thanks a lot adfree, you find 3 animation boot
Just try it changes from bada animation
You are making great job

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T5YF5620
I've "fixed" T-Mobile Animation, as they "forgot" 4 Pics from bada Animation...
Maybe this was the reason, why second folder only used.
I've added Orange Poland Animation...
So I have 5 Animations (second T-Mobile not included).
Maybe someone know more Animations?
Eplus?
O2?
There are many Operator... i hope.
S8530 also possible, as same Resolution.
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Found more Animation(s)
Found third Color... Now I have black, white and red.
But red is complete different and double in size... strange...

New attempt.
Created 480x800 black and white Pic and converted into QMG (Theme).
As I thought Idle_Background.qmg converted into IdleWallpaper.cbm could help.
But, QMG is to small... only 1 KB
CBM is tooo big... 1,5 MB
My black or white *.img only 51 KB...
Best Regards

adfree this is cool. I've been wanting to get to the bottom of the .IMG file mystery for awhile now.
The Alci's IMG Editor program is a mod tool for the GTA San Andreas game. I tried opening a .IMG file and it didn't work for me either. It's possible theres no connection with the QMG .IMG files at all. I'm not sure what the QT reference is in relation to.

QuB an mighty Tool for Samsung handsets

This Tool is amazing. Many features.
Source is here:
http://rk-team.net/showthread.php?11-%CD%EE%E2%FB%E5-%E2%E5%F0%F1%E8%E8-QuB
"Lesson 1"
Make hidden folders visible for research and Backup.
For instance folder System is the RC1 file, mounted into RAM...
Many Thanx RusEm and Team.
Best Regards

Hi thank you for this tool but it is only for "qualcomm" platforms i think (not sure). In s8500 qualcomm is only processor for calls.

QuB is designed for Samsung handsets.
This command is 100 % working on S8500 and U700, tested by me.
You have to select same COM Port like you would choose for File Manager...
No magic.
Then you have access to nvm folder, system folder and few more...
System folder is read only as it is the mounted RC1 file...

But... with this... what kind of researches could be done?

Really nice tool.
Setting FmSecureMode to off gives us the chance to see where everything is located and we can investigate and chang the files on the pc. now we need to find a way to get them back to the wave
Maybe with PfsDeleteList.txt / *.pfs ?
Also after reboot FmSecureMode is set to on again.
But we can already see where the fonts are located, that the sms viewer is html/css based like the one for email and any other messages (so we can easiely change layout, colors, font-size,...) and a lot of other things like replacing images etc.
When we get this working, nothing keeps us anymore from a fully customized bada

In combination of TkFileExplorer 2.4 you can see this.
Caution!
Renaming or other Directory Manipulation can lead to Bootcycle.
At your own risk.

Need help in decompressing Rc1 and Rc2 files. I see some tabs in Qub saying Rc1 and Rc2. Dont know how to use them to dump rc1 and rc2 files. And if I do, is there any way to upload them back like in trix. Or can you use trix to decompress rc1 and rc2 files? If yes, how? Help would be very much appreciated.

[Q] Social Hub Premium for 525

I was wondering if we can enable social hub premium for low end devices?

Their are "minor" differences between S8500/S8530...
So without trying, no idea if success.
If more S5250 users contribute, we could try to find solution.
I have only S8500, so I can't check theory.

No one SWF...

For the imswf...we have a LockScreen.imswf
to mod it you can rename it to .swf and open it with Trillix SWF Decompiler

I know, but I can't write back into S8500...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979796

We have already test Qub...
I have spoke with RusEm in 2010 for S5230 Modding
and Qub is programmed only for Nucleus Os based Samsung devices
Bada is Linux Kernel, Nucleus Structure and TouchWiz Graphics...
a MeltingPot!!
Yes you can write back swf...
Take the original swf and open it with HxDen or other Hex programm...
So you have to open the original RC1 with Hex Program...search the first 3 letters of swf
in Rc1 and you find the initial offset of SWF.
Now You can open the new swf with Hex and Put it into Rc1 from old offset
and over write the old...
If the old is bigger then new sobstitute the remain hex valute with 00
If the new is bigger then new you can't put into rc1
When Rc1 is saved you can flash with MultiLoader...
This is only the theory...you must test it
i Forgot to quote my team:

can any body explain how to change menu background colour in wave525

You have to make icons with color background.

(FOR PROGRAMMERS) Create a ROM apks' images resizing tool

Hello Everybody , as i have seen this would apply to ALL android phones , so i posted it here !
I have searched over the xda , and couldn't see an apk resizing tool so it could fit on smaller devices more like hdpi to mdpi ... But it is easily possible with the script i am going to provide down ... I don't know if you heard about ImageMagick tools , a whole bunch of scripts almost capable of everything for editing pictures . These scripts contain a script called mogrify.c , this script can resize images in percentages , ratios , specific length and/or width ; but featuring a rare thing to find """RESPECT FOR ALPHA""" , yes it respects alpha = the transparent parts of the image are NOT filled with white instead of staying ...
USAGE :
So for the use of this script for example.png , if example.png was hdpi , we would type in for example "mogrify -resize 75% example.png" , and then example.png would be applicable to mdpi ... another example , but this time we have a bunch of pngs which need to be resized , so the command would be "mogrify -resize 125% *.png" and fastly they will be enlarged 25% each png in the specified folder ... and so on ... note that we can type in instead of 75% or 125% , 320x480 (but this will resize the image , not resolution , so only way for resizing from hdpi to mdpi using this script is by calculating ratios and percentages , and working on their basis ...
Ok so i was thinking one of the programmers could create a GUI for a proper use for ROMS , and this wouldn't be a hard task for programmers i guess , so what i want from the programmers to in this GUI is :
1-Extract every system apk except some(not at once , in alphabatical order) (if there was exceptions)
2-Run the script as wanted using percentages (from mdpi to hdpi , from xhdpi to mdpi etc ...)
3- XMLs are left to resize , so then include workspace.xml resizing or any other xmls (totally your job , i have no idea how it works)
4-Repack the apks and push them into a copy of the ROM
By that we could partially and most importantly ported a WHOLE rom to the desired device !!
The script is down , google for Mogrify if you needed a or wanted to know more info ! wish this stickies !
WARNING !! THIS TOOL DIDN'T WORK WELL FOR ME WHILE USING BATCHES (but worked pretty nice in normal cmd.exe) , TRY TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE !!
PLEASE include me in the credits of it , I was very tiiirreeedd so i can find such an important script !!

How exactly do you run it? By making a batch file? I could definitely use this. Your OP is a bit confusing. But this does look promising.

hmm yeah forgot to tell how to run it , i will add it to OP ...

yes it looks prommising..let us know how to...gj

I am not a programmer myself , because of that i said [FOR PROGRAMMERS] , i am just a 14 year old student , but this GUI can be made like any other GUI , see like Virtous studio , it is a combination of many stuff all in one ! so this should be worth the hustle ! share it in your signitures , this will beautify the world of android !

any cotributions ??

Just came across this and first off thank you! I'm knee deep in a project that i need to convert a whole rom from hdpi to ldpi, this is a life saver. I will pass the word on to see if anyone wants to help you with the gui !

I don't understand from the OP if you've released something or written something, and there's no clear documentation of what's going on.

Dear Admin , No I haven't released anything , this is an Idea for the PC/Linux programmers... I have attached that file in there , so that I could make it easier for devs to accomplish what we all need , a tool to resize pngs without any loss of alpha data ... So if a Elite programmer could work on this , to decompile every apk in the system and resize all the pngs and xml files and recompile them into the ported system , then One Software would apply on all hdpi , mdpi , ldpi , xhdpi etc ! get it or still not yet clear ??

Hey OP - PM me, let's talk more. This sounds very doable to me, and I am a programmer. I just need some more details.
