Edit stock apps - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm new to editing apps on Android and editing the .bngs are easy, but I was hoping that I could get some help in learning how to edit the functionality of the apps. Can anyone help me?

How to use porting tools?

I was wondering how to port to the incredible. I have windows 7, android sdk,apktool,smali/baksmali, and 7zip installed. I need to know how to use the tools mentioned and maybe some steps for porting. Modification of apk, jar, .xml, .so files are a must when porting,i just don't know how. Can someone please let me know, even if you want to pm then please do so. Thanks. Oh, afa what device I'd be porting from, not sure. Maybe from the desire or n1.

I did try to google but nit anything on the incredible. I make it a general practice to google and research before I bother anyone on the forum.

Maybe a Rom kitchen will help. I don't have much experience in this area.
It's no bother to people, I misread. rom kitchen sounds about right. you could always just try and theme the ROM you like..
Thanks for the response. What I really need is to know how to use the tools I mentioned. I have a basic overall knowledge of porting but am unsure of how to use the tools

On-screen buttons

My phone recently fell and my capacitive keys don't work. Its sad that I can enjoy the betas of REMICS ans SENSE 4.0 ON my epic. I would grfeatly appreciate if someone could teach me how to enable these or create them. If someone teaches me I can keep updating the file for each update and push it out for most ROMs on our epics. I have decompiled and compiled frameworks and done basic editing. I know it will take more than just a little editing but I am more then willing to learn to make this happen! Thanks to anyone who tries in advance.

Install AOKP, go to settings, rom control, enable navbar, select onscreen buttons you want
Decompile framwork-res.apk, edit /values/bools.xml and set the navigation bar value to true then recompile.

Can't you also just create local.prop and add line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0?

@dahturdima I have that on right now. I've had it like this. But I've been wanting to do it for other roms.
@ marcusant I though of that was in the process of doing it. But my decompilers wouldn't do it. I was getting chunk PNG missing files or something like that. I was trying to do it on REMICS.
If someone could upload their working set of tools I would greatly appreciate it.

Open terminal emulator and type
su (enter key)
touch data/local.prop (enter key)
echo qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 > data/local.prop (enter key)

OK. Thanks Marcus will do that.

Does zeinzu just create a text file and name it local.prop? Then put it in the root of my phone? Not my SD card but the actual phone with es file explorer?

Ok I did exactly this and in es it was created and I did see it with the command. However it didn't do anything. I am on AOKP. I know there is a setting but I can't do it through terminal emulator. Let me try another ROM

EDIt:It worked on REMICS!!!!!!!! Now if someone is willing to help how can i change the size? I know I can do it through dimes.xml in the framework but the question is what guru can do it without decompiling it? lol
I've done it on cm9 and it works.

It worked great thanks Zeinzu. Youre a genius. Is it possible to resize it without decompiling?
Not sure, haven't tried. I'm assuming no though.

Im assuming the guys that created ROM control are gurus because it does it automagically once you put the size?-.-
EDIt: it would be awesome if someone could hook me up with the tools to decompile these kinds of frameworks. I can decompile ICS ones fine. Just not newer ones? Lol

Installing a launcher for ics & jb

Hey, I'm a noob to the sgs3 and I'm wondering if there anyone out there that can assist me with any answers to this problem I'm having which is I'm trying to port/bring over a launcher from an old rom to an ics/jb rom.
So far it's not installing, getting errors and freezes.
I've managed to find out that it's a framework issue.
So if anyone knows how to handle this (bounty included) and make it work, whether the person themself or to make a reference to someone else would be much appreciated.

Extracting icons from roms

I was curious if anyone could assist in helping me pull a 4g data icon from a ROM, I use different ROMs all the time, but find different aspects I like from others, I was curious how I could do that and input it into another ROM.
Thanks

Anyone at all, there has to be some dev or someone out there that has some leading information at least, maybe that kitchen program can do this, just want a point in the right direction.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Its not that simple. You have to decompile apks, make your edits then recompile. That's a super simplified overview
OK well I appreciate your response, from what I read on the kitchen forum it does talk about being able to compile your own customizations to preexisting ROMs or taking pieces of other ROMs and compiling your own version, probably requires a lot more practicing with said program.
