hello to all
i am a camera loving person, love to capture pictures.......
from last few months i am try to modify the Arc stock camera..
i totaly decompile the Semc camera apk file and read all the files very carefully in it
then i found if we change some thing in the apk file it will not take affect, and i found why it is
if we open root explorer and go to
System / usr / semc then here we found a folder named camera
inside the camera folder there are some files that have DAT extention
these dat files are the actual camera files all the settings are inside them
like if we want to change the compression level of picture then it will be done by modify these dat files
i try very hard to open that dat files but cant find the way to open it
can some one help me by telling me that how we can modify these dat extention file
i also attached that folder in this post
that have these files
I do believe that work on SE cameras files is very hard. Recently SE has promised that they will release their driver for developer under EULA license, so you best wait a little.
Here's the source: http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/09/28/sony-ericsson-supports-independent-developers/
until there is a fix for the high compression of for the se camera app, i suggest you give the app 'vignette' a try. You have the choice to save at super fine quality. Images are usually 5mb or more. Runs well on the Arc S. The only issue is the preview speed and the ui. needs fixing

Hey guys im trying to learn how to skin a dialer for windows mobile 6.5...but when i put my own button in it just shows up as white..im using the stock xperia dialer...what am i doing wrong or what do i need to do...if someone could help please
i guess it shows where ur keys are when you locate them via GPS...it's a wild guess though.
im talking about skinning the phone canvas.... i cant get what i change to show it just shows as white...not referring to anything with gps..thanks though
it is the dll you extracted them from..
you have handled these steps?
- unsign dll
- extract images..
- edit images
- put images back in dll
- sign dll
if not follow it!
i think the problem is the signing
well i extracted the images from the cab file jacks xperia dialer using cab manager and just replaced the png file with my edited one...do i have to sign a cab if thats even possible?
SystemFS\User\MultiStage\Contents.xml
You could extract this file from *.FFS or grab from handset.
Maybe some tweaking possible...

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
i can not open new thread
i went to parser an xml file with structure like this.
<?xml version="1.0"?>

2 most possible place for that :
1- in rc1 as a .rbm file
Rsrc_S8500_Open_Europe_Common\System\Rsrc\Bmp\Black\VoiceCall.rbm
2- in ffs
sorry i couldn't find it
Why do you want to change it???
It look so nice
I know these are relative stuff
Anyway....look in RC1 file only in rbm files or wait for Ho1od until he make them viewable
Best Regards

Hi,
I am trying to create a theme for Note 2 with Note 3 mods. I am currently using DN3 v3 rom.
These are my questions :
1. I would like to know where installed apps from play store keeps there icons "I want to change them"
2. Where are all the stock apps "pre installed apps" located ?
3. Do i need to do any xml programming when replacing the app icons ?
Please tell me the path to those locations if you know it :fingers-crossed:
Each app is an apk file, and it contains icon(s). So there is no central place where all icons are stored.
the best you can do is to create an iconpack theme. just download one (it is apk file as well) and see how it's done. apk's are just signed-zip files, so you can open them (unzip) with any app like winzip or total commander (it is harder putting it back together). There are a lot of iconpacks available, just google it.

This is Vasu Netha and What's going on everybody!!
Here is a short demo on how to change default camera watermark to your own.
Requirements
Rooted device
Root explorer (any of your wish, like es file explorer)
Any image editor (I recommend Adobe Photoshop in your PC. Or else any mobile image editor like picsart may work)
Some Patience
Step wise Instructions
give root permissions to your file manager (In my case, I used es explorer)
Navigate to System/etc/ and find dualcamera.png file
Copy the file and paste somewhere else in your device (for sake in storage/emulated/0/Download ). We are going to use it as a reference image on which we should work later
Open the file u saved (in this case in Download folder) in Adobe Photoshop or whichever editor you like.
This is where actual purpose comes in, put your creativity in it and edit the image as you like.
*Important notice DONT CHANGE PICTURE SIZE OR RESOLUTION & SAVE THE IMAGE IN PNG FORMAT
Rename the file to dualcamera.png
Copy your edited file and paste it in system/etc/
Overwrite the existing file and change the permissions to rw-r--r--
Voila!! you have done it
Reboot your phone, open the camera app, enable watermark & see the changes
Hit thanks :good: if it works for you
Check my custom watermark in the attachments section.
Any example of the watermark you have created?
