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.

ok buddy , no offense but please change the title from , mod/so and so to may be ( please help me to mod /so and so )
now i dont know if you are editing it properly or not ,
but even if you edit it properly are u signing it properly or not
and are u compiling/decompiling it with proper framework installed .. these things need to be checked
is simple words , go through as many how to compile/decompile guides available and read it as much as u can , thats how i learned :good:
i decompile whit the same Rom in ther the apk is.
and it is all the same signed or not signed.
I don't know who is the problem
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 ...
