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 !

you actually should stop in and talk to the guys who do TWRP i imagine a "one size fits all" theme zip would be awesome for them...
This is not meant for theming , this is for resizing a whole ROM apks ... so this is very important for the android devices , lets say the Sense 3.0 was given to the mdpi htc devices , wouldn't this be cool ??

You made this rather confusing...
I see you attached some imagemajick code or something... But have you released something?
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.

adfree would it be possible to make a custom application and replace the existing flash UI with it. I was thinking of Porting the enlightenment libs to bada and using them to create a community maintained, cross platform, UI.

If more S5250 users contribute, we could try to find solution.

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:
-Th3Zer0
-Zackron
and the samsungs5230[dot]tk forum
can any body explain how to change menu background colour in wave525
You have to make icons with color background.
first of all , this is not my work , actually i saw it like years ago while back in MIUI 2.3 GB edge... so i really don't know who is the original author for this animation ...
today i see it again when i was looking for some theme , so i post here hope someone will like it.
secondly , the ZIP pack i use was simply delete and replace files inside of DOMINATION because i don't know how to make new one , hope Vertumus won't mind ... if so , i will remove this ASAP ...
i guess it's kinda pointless thing , but whatsoever , if it exists then it has its own use ...
can't really explain how it is with my poor english , but this video will tell you all.
i deliberately set animation scale to 10x to make the video clean , so , in real use it will be much faster ...
and yes, just simple replace some XML files under /res/ folder ...
i have done a quick test , nothing wrong so far.
i uploaded 2 flashable file , one for MOD and another one for restore .
as always , flash it at your own risk and be backed up before you flash it in case something went wrong.
ok , i don't know what i am doing here , if moderator see this is inappropriate , please kill this thread ...

ok i finished my own designing, and want to install it , such as the font include int the lg smart world
is there any way to make it as .apk file , so i can install it?
Okay so this guide is for peoples (and everyone who are intrested) who requested me to demostrate how to manupulate the text that comes im cwm screen during flashing of a custom rom
****I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MESSING OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE SO PLEASE TRY ON YOUR OWN RISK****
First decompress the rom (you should know how to do that if you are trying to mod it or use search button )
For custom text, you have to edit updater-script
If you dont have any knowledge of updater-script then:
***DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING EXEPT WHAT I DO OR YOU MAY MESS UP YOUR ROM***
You may find the it here at:
META-INF/com/google/android/*here*
**do a Backup of the file first**
use ONLY but ONLY notepad++ for opening the updater-script or it may get currupted
Add this in given format::
ui_print("TEXT should be here");
(Note: you can add many lines in the given format if you want many lined texts while flashing)
Add your text start at top in tje format as mentioned and save the updater-script and replace it with original in the rom
Now compress the rom again and make a flashable zip...
And you're ready to see your custom text while flashing it via cwm
Credits: all xda dev who are amazing teachers..
Ps. Its my first thread so correct me if something is wrong
press THANKS if i helped you in any way
Cheers

I use Notepad (not Notepad++) and it never gets corrupted. To be honest, any text editor will do, so long as you don't mess up in your editing.

Im generally recommending notepad++ for editing files..plus i said it MAY corrupt the file..its just a precaution for my future posts where you (in general) may want to edit xml files and opening with notepad will corrupt it...for example try opening build.prop next time with notepad you'll know what im talking about

Development in galaxy y is so fast now and i think no one is noob here
and why we are using Notepad++
becoz it has 3 formats for diff. operating system.
1.windows/DOS
2 unix/posix
3.mac
if u r writing code for linux than u choose 2nd one in EOL CONVERSION.
Becoz Android is linux based OS.

Why do you have to be so irritating :/
Just simple to understand line:
DONT POST IF YOU DONT HAVE SOMETHING TO ASK RELATED TO THREAD
grow up guys
back to topic or malybru come here
The reason why you should use notepad++ is due to the way windows handles the return key (and other functions)
If you make a new line (ie press enter) windows and Linux handles this differently and may cause the script to fail unless using the way Linux interpretates it by using notepad++
Anyway there are plenty of threads in xda that go into far more detail & explain all the commands of the updater script so I suggest if you want more details please search
