On-screen buttons - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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?-.-

[REQ] Nexus S TV lock ani

Can someone pull whatever code makes the Nexus S screen go off like a TV when you lock it and port it? It's awesome!
Seconded. Though I do find it funny that a natural process of a piece of archaic technology is something we now wish to have emulated on our high-end electronics for show.
Weird isn't it.. Lol

It's an xml within the framework res. It's in the anim folder and should be lock_on.xml or something to that nature. It would be easiest made as a metamorph. I'd do it but I got no way of testing. No longer an epic user.

That and upload system files needs to be checked. Then the boxes will appear for the 3 files it needs you to upload from your ROM.

ya i know about the 3 files
so i just made something and submitted it and now waiting to pick up
it still says cooked files 0 for some reason.. shouldnt that b a 1 now? it gave me my file name and gave me the link to the pickup page so im guessing it worked but at the pickup page it still says "Your recently cooked files (0)"
anyway.. i just wanted to ask about the status bar. Does it work for ours with our widgets? i dont see anywhere over there that lets me edit the widgets for a galaxy phone so does that mean my status bar wont have the widgets in it?
ok so i just figured out how it works completely
my only problem is idk y but i got an error lol it is a veryyy long shtf error that i dont understand lol but what did i doo wronggggg

I did get something to work tho I used clean gb el30's files and put some stuff on it aand it worked like blue overscroll glow and a different font and even boot ani. So I guess ill play with it a little more some other time
I did also try to do one thing. I tried to change some app icons
I went into the email app and looked in res/drawable hdmi (or whatever it is) and replaced the png called "icon" (which had a pic of the email icon) with my own which I renamed to "icon" but when I flashed it it didn't change not sure why tho.

How do I edit a framework.apk?

I'm mainly trying to edit the eri.xml and apn.xml for a non Sprint carrier. I tried APKTools but it's not really working. I keep getting a java not found error even though its installed. Also it doesn't seem that you can edit this xmls with APKTools anyway. Anyone feel like pointing me in the right direction?

I'm pretty sure eri is encrypted.
He'd have to decompile it.
Hmm do you have the android sdk installed and the resources... you need more than the java developemnt kit... you need that version of androids resources and dependencies to decompile it...
And no you can't edit xmls without decompiling the framework completely.

Phone and Contacts apk

Can someone take both Phone.apk and Contacts.apk and (if wouldnt mind MMs.apk) and get them to work with the DeOdexed FF18 ROM for my Epic 4gTouch? I dont really care for the TwICS ones that come stock and would like them replaced with these, but I'm having trouble. I dont really have the "know how" to modify commands or xml, etc. but I'm not a noob at this either.
If someone could help please along with how to get it to work with my phone that'd be great!!

[HOWTO] Add apps to Multiwindow on Stock ROMs

I was just thinking to myself "why mod it so that every app you have installed shows up in the multiwindow bar?" This presents incompatibilities and also makes it hard for those who have a lot of apps installed (me) to really find what we're looking for to actually multitask with.
With the latest leak they've added the ability to specify which apps get multiwindow support through the awesome CSC engine. Now, instead of having all of your installed apps show up, you can pick and choose which ones you'd like to be added.
If you ever wondered how those Sprint apps got added to the list, it's by editing the feature.xml file located in /system/csc
Find this line:
Code:
<!-- Multi Window -->
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>com.mobitv.client.sprinttvng,com.sprint.smps,com.sprint.mobilewallet,com.sprint.android.musicplus2033,com.nbadigital.gametimelite,com.zipwhip.devicecarbon.sprint,com.zipwhip.devicecarbon.sprint,com.handson.h2o.nascar09,com.telenav.app.android.sprint</CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
Add and remove apps by package name. This is a bit advanced so it's more for ROM chefs or users who know how to retrieve package names and feel comfortable editing this file. If someone were to create an app to do this, it would be even better. I have over 300 apps installed and this is the perfect way to make sure I'm not scrolling endlessly as I try to find the app I want to multitask with. A reboot later and your new app should show up in the list.
Thank you.

Thanks Freeza!
I modified the feature.xml and added the Yahoo Mail app (com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.mail) entry and then rebooted. When I went into Multi Window, I was able to add Y!Mail and was able to split screen it.
Nice!!Thank you works fantastic

Beat me to it, found this earlier and was going to post, great job freeza!
SPRINT GS3 FAQ
Appears Chrome Beta and Chrome are not able to co-exist in Multiwindow. I added Chrome Beta (com.chrome.beta) to feature.xml and then Chrome is not available to split screen with. I then tried to add Chrome (com.android.chrome) to feature.xml as well, but only 1 Chrome will show up.
Great info...A little too complicated for me...worried id screw it up...but still, thanks.

If you use root explorer, navigate to data/app, all the passage names are listed there... just leave out -1.apk... so for quick pic (the blue app icon you see in the screenshot) it would be com.alensw.PicFolder

not all apps are there. i have found a few in another folder. sometimes doing a search in root explorer is better.
