[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

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.

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.

You can do your own - decompile framework-res apk, search through /res/values/styles.xml for anywhere it says
Code:
<item name="navigationBarColor">...
and change 'black' to '?colorPrimary'. Recompile, sign, push...

I'll give it a try immediately :fingers-crossed:
---
@levone1
i had to replace the whole string ("@color/black" -> "?colorPrimary"), then it compiled successfully.
but my navbar still is just black. I guess the value is overridden by another one..

Many apps have their own navigation bar color value built in to the apk, so those ones will not be changed, (but you can do the same thing to the app apk if you want) . Apps that call on framework-res styles for navigation bar color will show the change. Also, make sure you change all of the references in styles.xml. For example, if you change the value in Theme.DeviceDefault, but not in Theme.Material, etc, then only apps that call on Theme.DeviceDefault will show it...

Transparent theme 6.0.1

The story is as follows. I want to make the statusbar and navigion bar completely transparent. I set them to hide with windowTranslucentNavigation "> true and windowTranslucentStatus"> true in styles.xml in style <style name = "Theme">. Added the line android: fitsSystemWindows> true. As a result, transparency appeared, but new problems also appeared. I showed them in the screenshots, the clock indicator moved to the right and so on. How to make transparency without shifting the text? I've read a lot of ways on the Transparent / Translucent style, but what am I doing wrong? It would be desirable that there would be a transparency as in an album from Sony, instead of a black frame.

Don't touch styles.. Just set the primary and secondary colors to #00000000 in values / colors.xml

These colors do not color the status and the nav. bar, in my framework there is no code of black color. Apparently Sony has somehow standardized the navigation panels in black, which can only be turned off and turned on. I used the firmware on android 4.3, where it worked, and on 6.0 I can not understand

Themes / Apps / Mods Quick Pull down Tile-Accent Colors

If you don't care for Android 12 stock colors, you can change the pastel QS Pulldown Tile colors to more basic colors.
I've added two more options. After flashing these, you have all color options to pick from in settings/Display/Device Theme.
To change the color of the QS tiles you go to settings/display/device theme and select the color you want. The "OFF" color tiles remain gray. You have an option to change settings/notification/volume bar backgrounds to black. Those options are at the top and end in "black theme".
There are two options because the first one has a systemui mod to change some text to black that otherwise is gray. Example, Bluetooth. The "On" or "off" would have been gray.
The second option leaves it gray and can be flashed with anything. The first one has a systemui mod and is more firmware specific.
The SystemUI mod might not be compatible with any other SystemUI Mods you may have installed.

Flash blue and set device theme to blue but QS doesn't change. What am I missing lol?

What else do you have installed?

I was just thinking about that. I have your magisk mod maker installed. I used the basic/stock in option 1.
I can remove the mod maker module cuz I only used it for navgone option and see you have a standalone for navgone.

You can't mix and match. If you want more than qs colors, use the adb installer. Color base.

Not sure what you mean.
Remove all of my mods in Magisk app and reboot.
Flash QS blue tiles. Reboot.
Flash Navbar gone. Reboot.
Remove QS blue tiles module in Magisk app.
Reboot.
Edit. I see what you mean. I combined them for you. Remove everything and flash this.

I hit the sack last night before you responded lol. Thank you.

Would it be possible (please) to have a 'grey' color version? Now (standard) the OFF tiles are dark grey, I'd like to have light grey color for the ON tiles. I unzipped one of the color modules .... but it's too complicated for me to understand how to do it myself ;-)

Thanks for the module. I just tested ;-) ... it works, see attached screenshot. I have some of your other mods running from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/adb-magisk-module-mod-maker.4354189/. Is it possible to combine them both?
Sorry for many requests.

I'll add that color to the adb installer.
It's possible if you flashed the color base. You would need to pull the vrtheme/system/system_ext/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle/SystemUIGoogle.apk/res/color/QScircleOFF.xml and QScircleON.xml and replace the ones in your mymagisk.zip

I've added two more options that flash all colors. The first one has a systemui mod to change some text to black that otherwise is gray. Example, Bluetooth. The "On" or "off" would have been gray.
The second option leaves it gray and can be flashed with anything. The first one has a systemui mod and is more firmware specific. That is the reason for the second option. It can be flashed with anything.
After flashing these, you have all color options to pick from in settings/Display/Device Theme. The ones at the top that end in "black theme" also change settings-notifications-volume bar backgrounds black.
