[Q] Widget Modification

Not sure if this belongs here or in the Android Development Forum. I want to modify the SGS2 Digital Clock widget by adding an "onClickpendingIntent"?? (I think that's what its called. Basically I when I tap on the widget I want it to open up a specific app (clockpackage.apk) so that I can access my alarms easily. Currently I am using Weather and Toggle Widget and it has this option built in. I have googled the subject and found a page on how to do it, but I am not a programmer nor a developer so this is way over my head. I know how to open an apk to modify the hdpi images it contains but that's about it. Here is the site that explain(somewhat) how to do it. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3589741/how-to-open-a-application-from-widget-in-android
If someone could give me more info on what xml file I need to create or modify within the apk (and how to create or modify it). I imagine I might only need to insert the specific code into one of the xml files and then insert clock package.apk into the code somewhere and resign the apk, but I want to be sure. Any advice would be appreciated.

Aren't you the same user who asked this in the apps section? I see you're still after it. Except this time with a much thorough study on what you want. I still say an xml edit won't suffice. I could be wrong though. I just thought most things that do with how an app runs require programming. Deccompiling, and recompiling.

Yup, that's me. I tend to be an absolute pest when I'm trying to figure these things out. In my research I found that this modification is possible if you edit the widget.xml file. Only thing is there are two of those in the res folder. Also, what program would I use to edit the xml file. I already have the Java Development Kit installed. To add to that, where in the xml file would I add the lines of code and where in that code where do I add the app name. The site I found doesn't give any of that info.

I'm hoping someone can give you some kind of answer, as I'm looking to do some editing of an .Apk that doesn't release its source code.
Sent from my Samsung Legen-wait for it-dary! 4g

Depends on the modifications you want to make. The person who I emailed about this stated that because its a widget, and said widget has no click to open function already programmed into it, adding an onClickpendingIntent won't interfere with the functionality of the clock, and therefore doesn't require the source code. It might be different in your case depending on what you want to add/change.

Bumping my question. Maybe someone might know a different forum I can post in where I might get someone who can help?

[Q] Disable MMS Slideshow

Hello,
Whenever I get a picture sent to me via MMS, it shows it as a slideshow. This drives me crazy and I wish it didn't.
I've Googled it so many times and looked everywhere but haven't been able to figure it out.
I found this thread for a Note2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221045
Adding this into system/csc/feature does the trick.
<CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsOnePageViewer>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsOnePageViewer>

But I'm not sure how to apply that to my SGH-i747M
Please help!!!
I've read that some people just get a different texting app, but I'd rather just fix the stock one. Unless there are some other benefits that I don't know about.
Thanks!!!

Most of the rooted stock roms found in the development section have this fixed.

Is there any way to fix it on the stock ROM though? I'm rooted but don't have time to look at changing Roms right now but would just like to fix this one issue.

The best solution I've found is to ask the sender to just send the picture and not include any text. If they do this, I will come through as just a picture that you can pinch and zoom. This is a hack, but works and is better than nothing.

I guess I just figured that the Note2 and S3 are similar so the fix would be easy to apply here, but I guess not.

Just add that line of code to /system/csc/feature.xml

Unfortunately you need to be rooted to edit feature.xml.

Perfect thanks! Before I go and do that, is it as simple as using Root Explorer, finding feature.xml and adding that line in?

Yup. Just add it in the "Message" section. Actually anywhere is fine, but if you add it as the last line in the message section you will be able to easily find it again.

I just went to do this but I don't have a feature file in that location which was my original problem... I thought you had given the correct location for the file on the S3. Any ideas where it would be?

I just looked at others.xml in system/csc and there is similar language to the other hacks listed in that thread.
Does anyone know if that is the correct place for out S3s?

[Q] Rom customazation question

Let me apologize right off the bat if this has been covered before. I googled this everyway I could think of and turned up squat.
Ok, I just finished compiling my first rom a couple days ago and I have a question.
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to add my rom name to the menus within settings?
I have flashed what seems like a hundred roms since starting with my Huawei u8800 all the way to my Note and Note II.
So, I decided to build my own so I can get all the features I love from all the different renditions I've came across.
I have seen many with the rom name within settings and such but I cannot figure out what I need to change to reflect my rom name.
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Build.prop
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. I wanted to change the title of certain menu items, like (and this is only an example): Wireless and Networks or, Personal or, Accounts, etc.
The build.prop only lets you edit certain aspects within the About Phone page (i.e. name of rom, build date, developer id, etc.).
I found what I was looking for so, I figured I'd post it in case someone else was trying to do the same thing.
This is BEFORE you compile. Afterword, this file winds up in the settings.apk and needs to be edited by unpacking, making the changes you want, then repackaging, and of course resigning.
Either way should give you the desired effect. However, I opt to make these changes before the build process takes place.
Anyway, these files are located in: packages/apps/settings/res/values/strings.xml
There are alot of these strings.xml files in the values folder however, the only one you need to edit is the first one (if your rom is diplaying english that is) as the rest are the same thing only in a different language. Hope this helps someone. Drove me nuts till I found it!

[Q] APKTool and Candy Crush

Hi
This is my first post and I hope that I have posted to the write forum!
I have a rooted Note II phone and I pulled the Candy crush APK down to my PC.
I have decompiled the APK and compiled the APK and signed the APK. I have copied the new APK down to the phone, installs OK but runs it stays on the Home Page and crashes.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I have not change anything just decompiling and compiling /signing and testing.
This is what I have done so far:
1. APKTOOL d Candy.apk
2. APKTOOL b Candy Candy2.apk
3. java -jar SignApk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Candy2.apk Clash2Signed.apk
4. Copied to phone, installed OK but stays on the home page.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks
Paul

if it is an app with online functions, may be failing a signature check since the original developers signature is replaced.

What are you trying to do? Hack it for 1000 lives, 200 moves, no tickets and slow timer?

Yes thank you.
I think I have found the problem but still seeking a solution, looking at the log file I am seeing the following error:
E/FictionFactory( 9936): Trying to seek in a file which probably is compressed! This is not possible. Either remove the seeking or add the file to the list of extensions which should not be compressed.
Any ideas?

Look at the original apk and your new one, and make sure anything that isn't compressed in the original is not compressed in the new one as well. I've seen issues like this come up w/ .ogg files in the /res/raw/ directory, but it could exist anywhere really.

Thank you finally got it to work!!!
The issue was pretty straight forward, all the tutorials that I have seen have always steered me decompile, compile and sign which has not worked for me so far.
The way I got around this was to add my changes to the original APK file, resign it and hey it worked.

[Q] Exchange Email BLACK

I am running Jelly Beans 21, and my exchange email is black. I hate it.
I remember there was a fix for it. I can't find it.
There is a file somewhere I have to change some text on.
Can anyone help!/?

I think I recall seeing a 'toggle' for that in a file somewhere, altbough I've never run that ROM. Have you combed thru /system/csc/feature.xml? Sorry I'm not positive but toward the bottom of that file there is a section labeled 'email'.... if yours says 'black', maybe try changing it to 'white'?

AWESOME! that worked. This is what I did.
I could NOT find a single setting alowing me to change background to white. I gave ES File Explorer superuser access, closed email app and cleared cache and data. Went into phone root/system/csc. Opened features.xml using a note text editor with super user access.
Sure enough down near the bottom I saw this:
<!-- Email -->
<CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>false
</CscFeature_Email_UseFixedBgColorAsWhite>
I changed false to true. Saved file. Opened email app and walla its white.
