Noob alert: Would anyone be kind enough to write a quick tutorial on how to use these jar files? I want to learn how to edit xml. I have searched these forums and google, but havent been able to get anywhere.
Code:
java -jar baksmali-0.93.jar -o <output directory> <.dex file, typically classes.dex>
For example: java -jar baksmali-0.93.jar -o out/rogers/dexout/ rogers-classes.dex
java -Xmx512M -jar smali-0.92.jar <output directory from above step> -o <name for new .dex output file>
For example: java -Xmx512M -jar smali-0.92.jar out/rogers/dexout/ new-rogers.dex
First command disassembles the .dex file, second command reassembles it (hopefully after you went in and made some cool changes to some of the .smali files)
Re-read your post, these are not for editing XML files. That is a whole other ball of wax. Most devs are not as interested in making post-build modifications now that the source for everything is available. You can set up a build environment and edit the XML files in plain text before you compile everything. Which is a lot easier than hex editing binary XML files...

I dont think you have to hex-edit them. Theres a tool called AXMLPrinter2.jar that makes xml files into readable ones. I'm sure you can just make your edits and copy and paste that text into a new blank xml file. Credits to jashu for the AXMLPrinter.jar

How do you propose to recompile the xml sheet?
I don't think it's a jar btw, pretty sure he made a tar/gz, and a perl script.

nah pretty sure its a jar. I'll find the link for you.
right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514412
just did some quick research...im a noob in this field but can anyone make sense of this? http://www.stylusstudio.com/binary_xml.html#
It's going to be quicker and easier to change the values in a hex editor, and as said prior - you aren't going to be able to just put a human readable xml file into an apk and have the phone use it - it's expecting binary, so it would be a pretty neat feat if it took human readable and parsed it and out put it.

Yeah I know that, but you should be able to convert to binary and then convert it back to xml format. Problem is on every converter I've used, in the past 5 minutes (just started researching) keeps saying something about not a schema

The xml in the templates/updates is currently compiled.
After you use the xml parser it's human readable/editable, but then you would need to recompile it. If you're going to do that, you'd might as well just do it from the source, and even still the color changes are hard coded and need to be changed to your liking.
The decompiled editing, and hex editing is really going to be the easiest/quickest method for color adjustments for now.
I'm surprised Stericson or JF haven't put out an XML compiler yet...

Is it required to set up a build environment? I researched that and only found instructions for linux/mac.
This is my understanding of baksmali/smali. I thought I could take a file(apparently a DEX file) from the Android SDK, disassemble it, edit, then assemble. I scanned through the SDK and didn't find any DEX files?

Is that directly from the source? Android source that is. In eclipse when you write the .xml file doesn't it convert it to binary when you compile/create the app?
That's directly from the source yes. When it's compiled it takes the xml format and turns it into binary yes.

I believe, for right now, you need a build environment to product compiled XMLs only. Until someone releases a tool to compile them...
Your understanding is correct. The SDK does not include and .dex files. The SDK is to help you develop your own app, not edit the underlying android platform files. Even if you grab the source from using git, you wont find .dex files. They are the output of the build process...i.e. the compiled java files...
Yes, only on linux/mac. Just get VMWare or some other virtual machine program and make a linux VM to develop on. If I ever get around to finishing mine, I will give it out so that people can just get VMPlayer to run it...
VirtualBox is pretty outstanding as well as vmware.
The real fix should not be decompiling/compiling though, it really should be edits to the actual source that is pushed upstream to gerrit, so it can be reviewed and updated accordingly.
It's really kind of a sloppy backward way to do it the way how it's getting done right now - don't get me wrong it works, but it's just not best practice.
Taking anything outside of the compiled xml and dex files opens up the system for slowdowns though doesn't it?
Like if we all somehow submitted a patch to the core that made it know to look at /sdcard/theme/ for a bunch of xml files and pngs... Then joe blow comes along with his $2.99 2gig card that runs slow as s* and his whole phone because unusable...
Is it even possible to use eclipse on ubuntu? Haven't found an answer. Running ubuntu on a VM right now.
Eclipse is java... so yes. There may not be a nice windows installer for it, but it should run on any platform with a JRE...

To convert any text button like "send" button in stock Mms.apk into an image button as in hyperion Mms.apk.
-- You do not need to rewrite the whole line of code regarding that button's attributes
--Simply know that every text button has images associated that form background of text that can be altered to get the Images we want.
--But how do we remove text from button
--Here I shall show you how to do that for send button Mms.apk,, you can use that for any text button
1) Decompile Mms.apk
2) open compose_message_activity.xml in res/layout
3) find and remove
<Button android:textSize="16.0sp" android:textColor="@drawable/selector_send_btn_text_color" android:id="@id/send_button" android:background="@drawable/selector_send_button" android:nextFocusLeft="@id/embedded_text_editor" android:layout_width="55.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="3.2999878dip" android:text="@string/send" />
and paste another linear layout below that linear layout as
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" androidrientation="vertical" android:id="@id/sendbuttons" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip"> <Button android:textSize="5.0sp" android:textColor="#00000000" android:id="@id/send_button" android:background="@drawable/selector_send_button" android:nextFocusLeft="@id/embedded_text_editor" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:text="x" /> </LinearLayout>
(no need to delete send from strings.xml)
4) open the xml in bold italic part in the above code
5) note the names of pngs in it and replace accordingly,,, like
---a bright png for default and a dark png for android:state pressed="true"---, etc
6) Recompile and done
{the same principle can be extended to all text buttons and convert to image buttons}
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[though unnecessary ,, if you want to totally remove the text attributes and rewrite as image button,, use this
<ImageButton android:gravity="<ur wish>" android:layout_gravity="<ur wish>" android:id="@id/<id name of it>" android:background="@drawable/<ur wish>" android:layout_width="<ur wish>" android:layout_height="<ur wish" />
for certain places,, u need other attributes in it as
android:nextFocusLeft="@id/<ur wish>" android:layout_width="<ur wish dip>"
add that using common sense]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
-------------------------------PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU OR INCREASED YOUR KNOWLEDGE------------------------------------------------------------------:good:
LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
look at the send button and u will know what this mod does perfectly
-decompile your sysui.apk
-open status_bar_tracking.xml in res/layout
-find:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle androidrientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" android:scaleType="fitXY" /> </com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle>
and change to
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle android:layout_gravity="bottom" androidrientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:background="#ee000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="32.0dip"> <ImageView android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="32.0dip" android:src="@drawable/status_bar_close" android:scaleType="fitXY" /> </com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle>
-open notepad and paste
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" /> <item android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_off" /></selector>
in it and save as an xml file with name status_bar_close in res/drawable
-open drawable-ldpi and paste
the pngs in this zip
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1c1fdhrvcsjivdx/mvss.rar?m
in res/drawable-hdpi (make a folder named so if absent) (u can also paste in drawable-ldpi but it would look far far better in drawable-hdpi)
-recompile apk
-have fun
__-----____-also know,, by using common sense and what you did in this,, you can replicate this to create any image you touch as a dynamic toggle one-----____---
(as in this case, the status bar handle turns blue when pressed)
[If you paste the status_bar_close_on.png in drawable/mdpi (created) ,, then don’t forget to delete the existing status_bar_close_on.png from drawable-ldpi]
(((((((if any one doesnt yet understand what it does,, just know that it means the status bar pull handle will turn blue when you touch it)))))))

some image?
desde Córdoba, Argentina mil saludos
can you provide some image please ....
hi,
in different customization of the same device , we find some option in system configuration enabled in some and other no then we can do it by changing variable value in application files in system by decompiling and recompiling after modifying ( bools or arrays...etc ) it take a lot of time
so customization Sony has choose to make a little files for a region customization or enabling or disabling option in system app without modifying the original app file by using {real_application_name}-res.apk what will be adding in /system/vendor/overlay
in 4.0.4 and before sony ericsson used /system/etc/customization/ folder for enabling and parameterizing apps, so in JB 4.2 and 4.3or 4.4these files are incompatible only 4.3 and 4.4 are compatible (attached files)
for JB 4.2
4.3 and 4.4
How to use ??
example :
for enabling data traffic notification and status icon in status bar we must change in or semcphone.apk phone.apk this line after decompiling Phone.apk or SemcPhone.apk in res/value/bools/xml we find a default value of application :
Code:
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_can_clear_icon">true</bool>
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_disabled">true</bool>
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_enabled">false</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
they must be change to :
Code:
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_can_clear_icon">false</bool> ----->[COLOR="red"] icon always visible can't be removed[/COLOR]
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_disabled">true</bool>
<bool name="data_connection_except_mms_show_icon_when_enabled">true</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then it can be inserted in com.phone-res.apk and injected in system/vendor/overlay and rebooting after that the options are activated.
just know what value to want be activated in the main application apk
Another exemple :
in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703113 to have mod for activating low cost in conversations.apk but with decompiling main apk conversations.apk but the simple one is using -res.apk
default value are :
Code:
<bool name="character_conversion">false</bool>
<bool name="character_conversion_visibility">false</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and must be changed to
Code:
<bool name="character_conversion">true</bool>
<bool name="character_conversion_visibility">true</bool>
Click to expand...
