Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me here. I did a search but with the enormous amount of pages, i have yet come across any info on this. Hopefully someone can help me. I have an unrooted phone, and not really looking to root it at the current moment. I want to create a shortcut with launcher pro plus that brings me to the wifi tethering menu/or to just turn it on. Help please! thanks

long press on your home screen for the menu, select shortcuts>activities>settings>settings(com.android.settings.tethersettings). You can choose the default icon, or click on it to change it.
He nailed it. If you ever root you could get a button for it put into your drop-down notifications bar too.
Thanks a lot guys!

Okay so i want to learn how to edit framework does anyone know a link to help with this i mostly want to do it because i want the option to be able to change my notification bar without always requesting it and such this may be a super noob question i dont know i just want to know if anyone can help
I do not actually know how to answer that question, but I'd recommend giving Myn a PM. He's one of the best Devs for the Evo and is always more than willing to teach
Also, this question should be posted in Q&A; just a heads up for next time
for simple png edits, just open up the apk (dont extracet) in a zip editor and replace any png in /res/drawable-xxxx with any the same size and format. to edit xml files, you need to decompile with apktool, this is much more advanced.
okay basically all i am asking is how you edit the notification bar i mean i am very new to this and trying to somewhat learn the ropes relatively quickly
Ya swapping out pngs is just opening the zip and replacing then.

Hey there!
I have a question regarding the "Motion Screen Lock" on the samsung s3.
After selecting this lock screen option, at the bottom of the screen there is text showing reading out "Tap and hold screen, then tilt the device towards you".
My question to you guys (and girls) is where I would find the file that contains that text so I could either swap it or better yet remove it completely.
I really have no other questions as of now and I assure you I've tried searching through this entire forum to find the answer myself with no luck.
Quite excited to start this as this will most likely be the beginning of my own personal S3 modding.
Thanks and hope for some quick answers

You'll probably have to decompile part of the framework. If I had to guess I'd go with either twframework-res.apk, or one of the other framework.jars or apks.

Actually I just packed up the entire framework directory and did a long search to find the text string and I found them in "resources.arsc"
I believe this is the main "text entry" file for the framework. I'd simply notepadd++ it, but I don't think that will work as it seems like its encoded.
Is there some sort of tool I can use to decompile this type of file ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Apktool. Search apk multitool here on xda.

Yeah, even before you posted this I ended up finding those specific tools.
I managed to decompile and recompile the framework and got it working just fine!
Thanks for the help
Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, so please let me know if I'm in the wrong place. I've been searching for days and days for a definitive method of changing the system font color in TW. I've tried al the guides out there, but none seem to positively identify which lines to edit. I have modded my framework background color to white. I'm trying to achieve more of an S4 white theme, therefore I need to change the font from gray/white to black. I'm running rooted MD4 deodexed with MD4 optimized kernel. I've attached a screenshot so that you can see which font I'm talking about. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!
do you know how to decompile/compile? If so you will have to decompile your system apps one by one and start working on changing all the lines that state "text". Its a bit more difficult than just calling out some lines for you to go in change because some system apps draw from each other. I believe the ones you have circled are in framework-res.apk. Its alot of hit and miss...its really perfect if your a flashaholic because you flash a lot trying to get what your looking for.
I know this really isnt what you're looking for but its really the way it is. It can be a real pain but really fun once you learn how to do this.
Thanks for your response. Yes I do. I've been decompiling and recompiling my framework-res for days now. Each time editing different lines as your suggesting. It's been very frustrating trying to find the right one. I will say one thing though, I can now decompile, edit, recompile and push and apk faster than I ever thought. I guess I'll keep trying until I figure it out. I love a good fight. Thanks again for your help!

No problem man...I wish I could just tell u the exact lines...Most are in res/values/colors. I wish it was all just one line to edit...lol. I'm working on contacts now and man its ruff trying to get it the way you want it! I can tell you a good app to look for is called color edit...it will show you the color of the hex in ur values/colors file. Makes life way more easier.

Very good idea. I never thought of actually having an app for identifying colors. I've been Googling each one as I go. Well, I'll let you know when I find the culprit.
For you primary and secondary text colors, try looking in framework in the res/colors folder. Should be labeled something like tw_primary_text_dark.xml and tw_secondary_text_dark.xml. Not sure if that's the exact names without looking, but it pretty close. You can also change a lot of your button text, spinner text in the same folder, just look at the different xmls. The text you have highlighted should be the first one I mentioned up above. Tw_primary_text_dark. Hope that helps you out some.
There are still other colors you may want to edit the res/values/colors and res/values/styles but the main text your looking for is in res/colors.

Hi Dazed. You're the man. I see 2 files, 1 is "primary_text_dark" and the other is "tw_primary_text_holo_dark". To be clear, I think I'm supposed to open the XML and edit within. In the one marked "tw_primary_text_holo_dark", I see the last line reads: <item android:color="#ffd7d7d7" />. That color code points to light gray. Should I change that to #ff000000 for black?
Mission accomplished. You were right on Dazed. I went into framework-res/res/colors, navigated to "tw_primary_text_holo_dark, opened the XML for editing, the last line read: <item android:color="#ffd7d7d7" />. I simply changed the color to #ff000000 and voilá, I appreciate your help. I should have posted her e alot sooner! Big thanks
Glad you found it. Feel free to ask all the questions you need man, somebody definitely help you out. If you don't find answers also feel free to send me a message and I'll try my best to help along the way.

Hi Dazed. I'm back to pick your brains again. My latest project has been to try and make my Secphone to look like the white GS4 theme. I am using WinterLove's modded apk form the Note II port. I can't seem to figure out how to change the black "in-call background" to gray. Also, can you please point me in the right direction as far as the "in-call button text. I want to change that from white/gray to black. I've attached 2 screenshots. Please respond at your convenience. Many thanks

Try looking in SecPhone.apk in the res/colors folder. I will be working today, so I can't take a look, but I'm pretty sure you have some xml's in there too change the button text and in call button text. I should be off on Sunday, if you have any trouble finding it, I'll take a look at it then.
EDIT: try SecPhone/res/colors/incall_button_text.xml for the button text.
I'm not completely sure on the black background right off, check in SecPhone/res/values/colors and see if its maybe one of the incall_call_banner_backgrounds maybe.

Hi Dazed,
Thanks for getting back to me. I know you're busy. I figured that's where they were, but I think it's above my pay-grade now. I can easily change any .png's but I can't seem to edit any XML's. I can decompile SecSettings and edit the XML's, but when I try to re-compile, I get all sorts of errors. I'm using MultiTool v1.0.11. The only things I have left to change are the in-call background and the in-call button text. Thanks for all your help brother!!

Hey Bigpappags3. Thanks brother. Yes, I have actually copied some .9pngs into some of the drawable folders. If it's Ok, I'll send some screenies over to you tomorrow. I'm sure that even your limited knowledge is plenty good enough! I've been at this all day and the Mrs is giving me the look. Thanks again for for all your help!! Good night
