[Q] 2 questions about adw launcher EX - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

And yes, I searched, big time, but can't find it.
For ADW EX, I have 2 questions.
I downloaded a different language from here:
http://crowdin.net/project/adw-launcher-ex
-What do I do with the arrays.xml and strings.xml? I figured I have to replace them somewhere, but I cannot find them on my device.
-Also, did the option to change bin position disappear? I might be getting blind, but I really cannot find it anymore. I know for sure there was an option somewhere to change or remove bin position..

Somebody please?

Am I in the wrong forum or something? I cannot believe nobody knows the answers.. ADW is used a lot here, right?

For your second question in my adw ex launcher has the bin position option. I ain't for sure about the regular adw though.

I have EX. Can you tell me where the bin option is? Because I thought I had it, but I have a feeling it disappeared with the latest update.

Check the user interface menu then look under screen preferences. That's where it should be. If not I will check my version and post it for you. +1 if it helps you

I checked 20 times but really can't find it. Please check yours and post the steps here if you find it?
I think it disappeared with an update though.

OK with the new update theboption was removed with the new layout. For the second you need to recompile it to find those files. The are bundled in the resourses file in the apk that can only be edited by decompiling it.

Ok so bin option is removed. Good to know.
Now WHAT THE *** do you mean with all that. I really have no clue. Could you please explain the language thing for a noob?

It means you would need to use apktool to recompile the apk, swap the files out, recompile and then sign and install.

[REQUEST][MOD] Hide 4G notification

I am making a request to any modders out there that can remove the 4g notification icon when you have 4G on. I want to be able to use 4G but not see the icon there when not using it.
A mod for this was done for the evo 4G and an example and more clarification of the mod I want done can be viewed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883088
so basically if that could be ported over to the evo 3D that would be great
Thanks in advance

it's in the drawable folder

If you delete the png you also need to delete it also in public.xml and for that the apk needs to be decompiled compiled an resigned. An easier way would be to make the png transparent.

I did the smali edits....it worked on my phone...give me a minute, ill upload it..
This is the done the proper way, as in it will not only hide it, but it won't take up space in the status bar when the notification "would" be there, like invisible icons and such would
EDIT:
DISCLAIMER:I'm not responsible for any damage this may cause, though it hasn't caused any FC's or any ill-effects on my phone yet.
Install Instructions:
1. Download zip, put on SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
4. Flash zip from recovery
5. Reboot
First bootup will take a while, but as long as there's no bootloop, just be patient.
This will remove the "4G Still on" or whatever it says when you're not connected to 4G, but your 4g radio is still on
Hide 4G Notification
And this will return you to stock settings if there's any problems...

BTW, the mod is an edit to the Settings.apk...Most other "icon removals" (gps on/off, etc.) are located in other apks or frameworks (jar files)...so this will not negate/over-write if you have a theme/mod removing the other icons

[SOLVED] Live Grass?

I'm looking for the live grass wallpaper that will work with ICS and CM9/AOKP. I've had it before that I extracted from a rom but I can't remember where I got it and I accidentally deleted it. Yes, I have searched until I am blue in the face...And no, I don't want the Beautiful widgets weather wallpaper instead.
Any feedback?
**Solved**
It has been ported for ICS use and is on the market here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.den.wallpaper
Why not just pull it again like you did before?
If it's the stock one I'm thinking, you should find it on almost any gingerbread rom/build.
That's what I was thinking but I can't find it for some reason now. I've flashed and re-flashed roms trying to find it and downloaded a number of them, extracted and looked through the zipped files in the rom for the APK. No luck.
I believe its called LiveWallpapersPicker.apk . I think that may be why u weren't finding it. Cause when i started looking out of curiosity there was nothing with grass in the name. But the icon next to that .apk is a picture of grass . So i think that's it. I know Serendipity has it in.
Edit: in /system/apps obviously

Check this. Pretty sure it's in LiveWallpapers.apk but I have no idea to what extent it's dependent on other things or the Samsung framework.

Nope, doesn't work.
There is one that is part of Beautiful widgets. Might be what you are looking for.
Make sure u aren't just trying to install these apks. U have to push them to /system/apps and set permissions.

Download either the 4x5 or 5x5 apk, use a file manager to find the file, look at the file with your eyes, touch the area of the screen where the file is, select install, select done, press home, select touchwiz, touch touchwiz.

LOL no. The Dropbox mods got deleted because you were essentially taking advantage of a paid benefit. You only receive the space if you bought the device or paid for it legally.
This is just a launcher from the Gs3. I'm assuming it's under the Apache license like the rest of Android. It's not a form of taking advantage or warez.

I'm asking this because I would like to replace the exDialer icon (green one) with the default JB telephone one (blue receiver).. but I don't know where I can locate the JB telephone app icon..
I think you may have had the right image, but I believe you may have to decompile then recompile the app properly to do change that. Google should produce results for a guide to do this as I have seen one recently

Which one do you want? If I have it I will drop box it for you
To replace images you don't have to decompile just drop them in /res/*whichever folder it goes in* with a store compression value.
Only when you need to edit XML's do you need to decompile and recompile.

mate.. you are epic!!
that's wonderful.. at last.. thanks so much! :good::good::highfive::victory:
You dont need to decompile to change .pngs...just open the .apk with winrar and go to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace what you want to
the other drawable folders arent used in the S3 - they are overwritten by the xhdpi folder
Edit, couldnt type it fast enough...!!
And that should be dropped in appname.apk/res/mipmap-xhdpi or hdpi or mdpi whichever one is for your dpi.

If you've applied the widget, then you should see MotLauncher2 and launcher2 in the priv app folder. To undo it, add .bak to MotLauncher2 and set the permissions on Launcher2 to Rw-r-r
