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?

yea...True true. Just a QQ what's the AndroidManifest.xml file used for?

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...

Hello everyone, I've made a simplified tutorial to make your own watchface widget.
In this update I made simpler source code that simplified some steps.
Thanks to xda for posting it in xda Portal
Requirements:
-Eclipse
-Android SDK
-Sony Add-on SDK
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-Download the samples.
2-Extract the zip.
3-Copy the both extracted folders to: "android-sdks\add-ons\addon-sony_add-on_sdk_3_0-sony-19\samples\SmartExtensions".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4-Open Eclipse and press Ctrl+N, open "Android" and choose "Android Sample Project".
5-Choose "Sony Add-on SDK 3.0".
6-Choose "SmartExtensions > SmartExtensionAPI" and press Finish.
7-Repeat step 4 to 5, choose "SmartExtensions > SmartExtensionUtils" and press Finish.
8-Repeat step 4 to 5, choose "SmartExtensions > ClockWidgetAnalog" if you wanna make an analog clock. or "SmartExtensions > ClockWidgetDigitalList" if you need to make a digital clock. For example, I'll choose the analog clock.
9-Press Finish
10-Now your workspace should looks like this:
11-To rename the project right click on it like this image:
12-Give it any name you want
13-To rename application package right click like this image:
14-Go to: res/values/strings.xml
15-Change these strings and press Ctrl+S to save it.
-You can keep the 'more apps" link if you want. It go to the watch faces collection thread.
-It's optional to add your email, and here's how to remove "Contact me" button:
-Go to res/layout/activity_preference.xml and find this:
Code:
<Button
android:id="@+id/emailBtn"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="[COLOR="Red"]visible[/COLOR]"
android:text="@string/email_btn"/>
-Then change the text marked with red above to "gone". So it will be like this:
Code:
<Button
android:id="@+id/emailBtn"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="[COLOR="Red"]gone[/COLOR]"
android:text="@string/email_btn"/>
16-Change the graphical resources change files in res/drawable-nodpi
17-Connect you device to the pc
18-Enable USB debugging on your phone
19-Right click on the project > Run As > Android application
20-If you want to share the apk you'll find it in the project bin
21-Enjoy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How To Resize:
1-Go to "AnalogClock.java" or "DigitalClockLevelList.java in src/-package name-.widgets
2-Edit the marked in red below:
Code:
@Override
public int getWidth() {
return getCellWidth() * [COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR];
}
@Override
public int getHeight() {
return getCellHeight() * [COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR];
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How To Add Date:
1-Create new xml file in "res/layout" and give it any name you want
2-Add this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:widgets="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="1" >
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout[/COLOR]
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="[COLOR="DarkOrange"]@android:color/white[/COLOR]"
widgets:textSize="[COLOR="Lime"]25[/COLOR]px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month[/COLOR]" />
</com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
3-You can change the text marked in red above to:
-"days_of_week"
-"days_of_month"
-"days_of_year"
-"months"
4-You can change the number marked in green above to any number you want, to set the font size. Please notice that the unit must be "px" and do not use "dp".
5-You can change on the text marked in orange "white" to "black", or you can remove all the text in orange and put any hex color code. For example:
android:textColor="#ffbf00"
6-To change the position of it, add under "<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout" which is marked in blue above:
-android:layout_centerInParent="true" to put it in the center.
-android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" to put it center in horizontal.
-android:layout_centerVertical="true" to put it center in vertical.
-android:layout_alignParentRight="true" to move it to right side.
-android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" to move it to left side.
-android:layout_alignParentTop="true" to move it to to the top.
-android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" to move it to the buttom.
-android:layout_marginRight="10px" change "10" to any number.
-android:layout_marginLeft="10px" change "10" to any number.
-android:layout_marginTop="10px" change "10" to any number.
-android:layout_marginBotton="10px" change "10" to any number.
7-At last, we must include the date xml on the main watch layout xml which is called on my samples "clock_widget_analog.xml" on analog and "clock_widget_levellists.xml" on the digital clock. For example, if you named the xml you made "date.xml" we will add the text marked in red below:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:widgets="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.sonymobile.smartconnect.extension.testclock"
android:layout_width="215px"
android:layout_height="170px"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:baselineAligned="false" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/watchface_bg" />
[COLOR="Red"]<include layout="@layout/date" />[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_hours_border" />
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_minutes_border" />
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_seconds" />
</RelativeLayout>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How To Reorder:
1-Open the main layout xml, -"clock_widget_analog.xml" on analog and "clock_widget_levellists.xml" on the digital clock-. For example, I'll work on analog.
2-You can remove text that start with "<!--" and end with "-->" like the marked in red . it's just notes from sony.This will make it easier:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:widgets="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.sonymobile.smartconnect.extension.testclock"
android:layout_width="215px"
android:layout_height="170px"
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
android:baselineAligned="false" >
<!-- We set a background on containing the base for a watch face. -->
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/watchface_bg" />
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- Here we reference a TimeLayout using a single drawable for displaying
the hour hand. -->[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_hours_border" />
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- Here we reference a TimeLayout using a single drawable for displaying
the minute hand. -->[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_minutes_border" />
[COLOR="Red"]<!-- Here we reference a TimeLayout using a single drawable for displaying
the second hand. Note: Seconds will not be shown when the backlight is off
on the SmartWatch 2. -->[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_seconds" />
</RelativeLayout>
3-Now you can reorder lines that start with "<include layout="
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiple WatchFace In One App:
-First example is to add digital clock to analog:
1-Copy xml and png files in res/layout and res/drawable-nodpi from digital to analog
2-Copy "DigitalClockLevelList.java" on src/-package name-.widgets from digital to analog
3-Open "ClockWidgetRegistrationInformation" in src/-package name-/ and search for: WidgetClassList widgetList = new WidgetClassList();
4-Add this under WidgetClassList widgetList = new WidgetClassList();:
widgetList.add(DigitalClockLevelList.class);
The text marked in red is same file name you've copied in step 2
5-Now Eclipse will underline it in red as error, it will give you a list of fixes, choose first fix
-Second example if you want to make 2 or more analog watchfaces:
1-Go to res/layout and duplicate all except "activity_preferences.xml", you can rename the duplicated xmls for example by adding "2"
2-Duplicate "AnalogClock.java" in src/-package name-.widgets
3-Add graphical resources on res/drawable-nodpi/ and give it the same names but with "_2"
4-Add the following lines to res/values/strings.xml:
Code:
<string name="name_1">Analog 1</string>
<string name="name_2">Analog 2</string>
To be like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- No translation of sample extensions -->
<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:ignore="MissingTranslation">
<string name="app_name">Analog clock widget</string>

[COLOR="Red"]<string name="name_1">Analog 1</string>
<string name="name_2">Analog 2</string>[/COLOR]
</resources>
5-Edit "AnalogClock2.java" in src/-package name-.widgets from:
Code:
package com.naheel.sw2.widget.example.analog.widgets;
import com.naheel.sw2.widget.example.analog.R;
/**
* This widget displays an analog clock providing resources which will be
* automatically rotated by the accessory firmware to reflect the time.
*/
public class AnalogClock2 extends SmartWatch2ClockWidget {
public AnalogClock2(WidgetBundle widgetBundle) {
super(widgetBundle);
}
@Override
int getWidgetLayout() {
return R.layout.[COLOR="Red"]clock_widget_analog[/COLOR];
}
@Override
public int getName() {
return R.string.[COLOR="Red"]app_name[/COLOR];
}
@Override
public int getWidth() {
return getCellWidth() * 5;
}
@Override
public int getHeight() {
return getCellHeight() * 5;
}
@Override
public int getPreviewUri() {
return R.drawable.[COLOR="Red"]watchface_analog_preview[/COLOR];
}
}
To:
Code:
package com.naheel.sw2.widget.example.analog.widgets;
import com.naheel.sw2.widget.example.analog.R;
/**
* This widget displays an analog clock providing resources which will be
* automatically rotated by the accessory firmware to reflect the time.
*/
public class AnalogClock2 extends SmartWatch2ClockWidget {
public AnalogClock2(WidgetBundle widgetBundle) {
super(widgetBundle);
}
@Override
int getWidgetLayout() {
return R.layout.[COLOR="Red"]clock_widget_analog_2[/COLOR];
}
@Override
public int getName() {
return R.string.[COLOR="Red"]name_2[/COLOR];
}
@Override
public int getWidth() {
return getCellWidth() * 5;
}
@Override
public int getHeight() {

If you made a watch, post it here and I'll add it to the collection
Hello,
Thank you very much for your Tutorial. I got my own analog clock.
But is there any way to have a background for Digital Clock?

my watch faces
Hi,
Is it still possible to create new watch faces for the SW2 these days? The main obstacle to start seems to be the inability to download the Sony Add-on SDK. I have only been able to find version 1.0 so far with much searching. Does anyone know where the version 3 file can be downloaded?
Thanks,
Lee
I was able to get a hold of the LG Game Pad apk but I'm unable to get it to install so I wanted to put it here if anyone wants to take a crack at getting it installed.
Game Pad APK:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H0hpGShg43uH5ORicvqbYE815R_LCy9d/view?usp=sharing
or here is the full LG Velvet Apps backup (2.5gb):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/10gwZ3CKxyqckgoo2FN4oB8IW1LAQGKme/view?usp=sharing
The install error I am seeing is
[INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE: Reconciliation failed...: Package com.lge.gamepad has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!]
I installed apktool and decoded the app. I assume something needs to changed in the manifest file, but I googled around a bit and I'm out of my depth. For anyone else looking at this thread, here is the manifest.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" package="com.lge.gamepad">

</application>
</manifest>
Can't wait to see a fully ported version
I am no expert but I would start by changing these two lines:
<meta-data android:name="com.lge.app.forceHideImmersiveConfirm" android:value="true"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.lge.special_display" android:value="true"/>
Maybe try false on both see if that works.
Did anyone get this to work?
Hello any news about?
Hi,
I'm trying to theme an app I frequently use and as I'm not using a theme engine I thought Xposed would be the easiest way. However with the instructions by rovo89 I can't get it to work, however simple they seem.
The app I'm trying to modify is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cgeo.geocaching
Below is my AndroidManifest.xml and CgeoGcIcons.java for a simple test: Modify the header string in settings dialog and change the "type_traditional" drawable.
I'm running EdXposed 0.5.1.3_4653 YAFHA. Other modules like Gravitybox are working.
Java:
package xda.xlafbk.cgeogcicons;
import android.content.res.XModuleResources;
import de.robv.android.xposed.IXposedHookInitPackageResources;
import de.robv.android.xposed.IXposedHookZygoteInit;
import de.robv.android.xposed.callbacks.XC_InitPackageResources.InitPackageResourcesParam;
public class CgeoGcIcons implements IXposedHookZygoteInit, IXposedHookInitPackageResources {
private static String MODULE_PATH = null;
@Override
public void initZygote(StartupParam startupParam) throws Throwable {
MODULE_PATH = startupParam.modulePath;
}
@Override
public void handleInitPackageResources(InitPackageResourcesParam resparam) throws Throwable {
if (!resparam.packageName.equals("cgeo.geocaching"))
return;
XModuleResources modRes = XModuleResources.createInstance(MODULE_PATH, resparam.res);
resparam.res.setReplacement("cgeo.geocaching", "string", "settings_titlebar", "Test whether this works");
resparam.res.setReplacement("cgeo.geocaching", "drawable", "type_traditional", modRes.fwd(R.drawable.type_traditional));
}
}

It doesn't matter, resource hooking is disabled in the core of edxposed, as you can see in the commit's link above, and "Resources hooking might has been broken since Q" (android 10).
And:
https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/issues/791
That commot changes only the default value (and the setting is called "enable hooking" instead of disable now). But as you can see also from the referenced issue it's working

I've already tried lsposed and in general it's working but the above code still doesn't do anything.
Hi, I ran into the same problem on android 11. Any updates?

I'm no longer using this but looking at my git commit history it seems I got it working after all, probably with LSposed as that's what I've been using since it came into existence.
