[MOD][GUIDE]Touchwiz icons layout

Hi! Here is one small MOD and GUIDE for modding icon appearance in default samsung launcher I inspired here, thanks
What we can change:
icon count in row and column in menu
icon count in row and column on home screen
icon count on home screen in bottom line
What we need:
CWM (optional)
root
SecLauncher2.apk from system\app folder
How to mod:
make full backup
decompile SecLauncher2.apk
locate files
res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\integers.xml
res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\dimens.xml
in integers.xml we can change:
Code:
[I]icon count in row on home screen[/I]
<integer name="home_cellCountX">[COLOR="Red"]4[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count in column on home screen[/I]
<integer name="home_cellCountY">[COLOR="red"]4[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count in row in menu[/I]
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">[COLOR="red"]4[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count in column in menu[/I]
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountY">[COLOR="red"]5[/COLOR]</integer>
[I]icon count on home screen in bottom line[/I]
<integer name="hotseat_cellCountX">[COLOR="red"]5[/COLOR]</integer>
In dimens.xml we can change:
Code:
[I]size of icons, should be change if you increase icon count in row/column otherwise icons will be too close[/I]
<dimen name="app_icon_size">[COLOR="Red"]48.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed home_cellCountX in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="home_cellWidth_port">[COLOR="red"]80.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed home_cellCountY in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="home_cellHeight_port">[COLOR="red"]96.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed hotseat_cellCountX in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="hotseat_cellWidth">[COLOR="red"]60.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed menuAppsGrid_cellCountX in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">[COLOR="red"]78.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
[I]should be change if you changed menuAppsGrid_cellCountY in integers.xml[/I]
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellHeight">[COLOR="red"]84.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
compile
copy back to phone
reboot
One small example:
For example I want to 5 icons in row in menu (default is 4). If I want to change this, I have to change in integers.xml line:
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">4</integer> to <integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">5</integer>
and in dimens.xml change line:
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">78.0dip</dimen> to <dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">62.5dip</dimen>
How to get proper numbers for dimens.xml file:
In my example I had original 4 icons and want 5. This mean I have to get from 78.0dpi -> 62.5dpi
(4 x 78) / 5 = 62.5 (in fact it is 62.4)
If you change one line in integers.xml, you have to change one proper line in dimens.xml.
In attachment is my moded SecLauncher2.apk, it has 6x5 icons in menu and 6 icons on home screen at bottom (see pictures). It is ODEX from 4.1.2. It should works on "N" model too, but i didn't test it.
edit:
Hi, I made for me new 7x5 menu layout, HS is still same. So if someone wants, here is it. Now it is DEODEXED.

excellent effort thank you I will try it later and make a feedback

What you want to do is not related to Tw launcher editing actually. Google "change app icon" and you will find something useful!
Normally icons are placed in the apks under (in our case) res/drawable-hdpi (or drawable320dp-hdpi) under the name of icon.png or ic_launcher_icon.png
Sometimes you can also find them under /res/mipmap-hdpi !
Remember, if you want to change a icon don't unzip the apk, just open it with winrar/7zip and simply replace the icon png

You can try, but it is likely

Hi! It should works, but you have to use SecLauncher2.apk from S4, not files from this thread, and mod it by yourself. And one more thing, dimens.xml and integers.xml willn't be in res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\, you have to find which folder is responsible for your phone resolution. Good luck

Thanks..
I made 4*6 apps menu Touchwiz with your guide...
Now updated [JB][MOD]Touchwiz with auto-rotation (4*6-v 6*3-h menu) default dpi. I think it will work for S3 mini as same screen size and dpi.

[How-to] Maximum StatusBar Brightness 4.4.2

[How-to] Maximum StatusBar Brightness 4.4.2
This guide is based on the KK 4.4.2 Galaxy S5 builds.
I noticed that Samsung always make the statusbar notification areas a bit dim. Probably to help with battery conservation.
This requires decompiling SystemUI.apk.
SystemUI/res/values/dimens.xml edit
Code:
Change these three lines
New values are in BLUE
<item type="dimen" name="status_bar_icon_drawing_alpha">[COLOR="Blue"]100.0%[/COLOR]</item>
<item type="dimen" name="system_icon_area_alpha">[COLOR="Blue"]1.0[/COLOR]</item>
<item type="dimen" name="notification_icon_area_alpha">[COLOR="Blue"]1.0[/COLOR]</item>
Note:
Screenshots are best viewed from a PC so you can rapidly swap images to see the difference.

Interesting, thanks sir.

For this you have to decompile the launcher apk, than go to res\values and open styles.xml.
In the xml file search for
Code:
<style name="BaseHomeIcon">
(should be on top)
and change the value for the color in red
Code:
<item name="android:textColor">#[COLOR="Red"]ffffffff[/COLOR]</item>
Recompile it, copy the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder from the originale apk to the new compiled apk and push it to the right place.

Layout issues when adding toolbar to preference screen

I try to built a preference screen with a toolbar, but I got some issues:
- There is a word "main". How can I remove it?
- The status bar is white. I want it to look like my main screen (same theme). Somehow it does not apply the color
- The toolbar overlays the content. I tried a a layout_marginTop on the list view, but it does not change anything.
Here is the code of my activity_settings.xml:
Code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
app:navigationIcon="?attr/homeAsUpIndicator"
app:title="@string/action_settings"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark" />
<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"/>
</LinearLayout>
This is the AndroidManifest entry:
Code:
<activity
android:name=".activities.SettingsActivity"
android:label="@string/activity_settings"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" />
Can anybody help me?

Why don't you link the manifest of the 2 activities to the same style theme?
--------------------------
I keep track of your replies with my android devices using the app "Tapatalk".

What do you mean? Can you please give me a short example? Thank you!

He wants both of the activity to have the same theme. You have to do it in the manifest. Also to remove main, you have to set android:label=""

To change the status bar color, change color for colorPrimaryDark in color.xml
