I've run through several how-to's and I still can't get an app to compile after I make the changes to add something to the settings app. I make the changes to strings xml and settings_header but then it won't compile. The reason for it not compiling seems to be an issue with the android manifest xml but in all I have done I do not alter it (or maybe I need to)
Anyone have an idea ? Thank you !

Most devs don't cruise the Q&A section, so you will probably get more help here. It will also benefit other members having it all in one place.
Some more info will help like what app you are trying to add.

Thank you. It's a bit unclear the best place to ask questions not related to flashing or someone else's ROM. That and I was getting pretty mad and now that
I read my above question,it is so vague and rambling.
I posted my question over there.

Sorry for the new thread - but I need a compiler that will rebuild dlls from the decompiled state after a rom dump. I attached a sample dll that I want to work with.
I know there was one here at some point in the past - but I can't seem to locate it, or anything about it
Mods - please do what you wish with this after (hopefully) it gets answered!
I'll keep an eye on the thread Matt. I've also copied it over to the dev/hack thread, since it's frequented by quite a few members that may be able to answer this for you.
Hi,
first of all, allow me to apologize that I am posting this into dev section instead of Q&A, but IMHO this topic is strongly tied with actual development and its not just a simple newbie question. If you disagree, please contact a mod with a request to move this thread to Q&A. Thanks.
Now lets cut to the chase. I am trying to alter some images inside the SystemUI.apk that was introduced with GB, mainly I want a semi-transparent statusbar. Problem is, when I modify the resources, rebuild the apk file using apktool and sign it using testsign, the modified package gets ingnored by the system because of shared UID certificate mismatch. If I understand it correctly, I must find the package using the shared UID and resign it with the same certificate as the modified SystemUI.apk. Am I right? If so, how can I determine the package apk file based only on the knowledge of its shared UID? If I'm totally wrong, please, correct me.
Thanks a lot,
squrl
Ok, so it has been moved already. Curious, if I get any answers here
Bump.

Go to the themes section in the stickies there is a theme guide by dreamsforgotten the best theme guide youll ever find....i have yet to read the part on xml editing otherwise id help you but i know it consists of the JDK java dev kit and the SDK for android and apktool to decompile and recompile the framework-res.apk. have fun hope this helps.
What's goin on guys?
So, I'm doing a project for school and I chose to create a custom settings app for my phone. I plan to include tricksterMOD and Pimp my ROM stuff, but creating my own interface for it.
I've already modified the strings.xml to include 'Other' in the interface in res/values/ .. I just don't know what to add in settings_headers.xml in res/xml, or what smali edits to make. Anyways, my question is, could anybody help me? I know my details were a bit vague about what I want to do with it, so if you have questions, please ask. I could just use a hand in this
Thank you!
(Using the settings.apk in DreamsForgotten 4.2.1 ROM for the Toroplus, before using this anywhere I will be asking for his permission, and before turning this in I will make sure to let the teacher know I borrowed this from him/Google!!)
Hey everyone,i've just started to learn more about the framework and stuff(to give back to this awesome community) by decompiling it and looking at the xmls and pngs within and one thing i found was really obvious that there is no bible of information that us new comers can consult for our questions
I would like to request all the brilliant minds here on xda to help me with a few things if this thread catches their attention.It would educate me and everyone else if our brilliant devs can share their info.I would like to start with a few questions and i really hope this thread takes off as the real reason we are all here is to learn
Questions:
1.The /res/anim folder in the framework has all the animations of the rom if i am not mistaken.But if i overwrite the xml files within with my own collection of xmls there are some files that are not overwritten and hence some animations of the rom donot change.The question here is this.How do find out what xml stands for what animation.Htc has removed the home button animation and i would be very grateful if someone can help me find it.Also app opening animations are still sense and i can't tell which xml to edit to find which one is the app opening one.
2.Recompiling the framework through apk-tool is giving me a lot of errors even when i don't modify anything.I'm using a custom rom framework so maybe thats the cause but still it should compile right.
3.Is it possible to decompile the framework in the phone(through an app i mean),add stuff to it,and then recompile it? Or is my only option to open it as a zip file and just replace and delete xmls .
I will update the thread with more questions and request anyone who has any info to please share it so we can all learn
Long live xda
