Hey!
I've been using xda for some months now and has been rather interested in customizing my own apps. I'm actually using TW 4.0.4 from Wolfbreak (Thank you - and all other contributors for this ROM) and I tried to modify the /system/app/Home.apk
There is my problem. Using a tool I found on xda, I decompiled the apk package, then tried to modify the launcher grid size to 5 rows and 4 columns. I modified these files :
res/values/integers.xml said:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<integer name="folder_max_rows">4</integer>
<integer name="folder_max_cols">4</integer>
<integer name="apptay_grid_rows">3</integer>
<integer name="apptray_grid_cols">4</integer>
<integer name="desktop_grid_rows">5</integer>
<integer name="desktop_grid_cols">4</integer>
<integer name="stage_grid_cols">4</integer>
<integer name="min_pane_switch_duration">1000</integer>
<integer name="desktop_first_pane_switch_wait_duration">0</integer>
<integer name="pane_margin">15</integer>
<integer name="number_of_desktop_panes">5</integer>
<integer name="scale_up_transition_scale_duration">300</integer>
<integer name="scale_up_transition_translate_duration">240</integer>
<integer name="scale_up_transition_alpha_duration">240</integer>
<integer name="text_shadow_radius">1</integer>
<integer name="text_shadow_dx">1</integer>
<integer name="text_shadow_dy">1</integer>
</resources>

Click to collapse
And the res/values/strings.xml to change app name and also the AndroidManifest.xml to change android:sharedUserId and package filename so it would install in a different location w/out replacing the default Home.
Then I tried recompiling and installing the app. When I tried to run it, it would force close. So my question is "What step have I missed? Is there something else I have to change?". I could really use some help, thanks.
Edit- someone already made several versions of what you want HERE (480x854 versions)
He wrote out instructions HERE
I really appreciate your help. *I've been looking for a thread like this one but haven't come up with anything. I think it will be really helpful, thank you.
-Edit : Well, after following the instructions I come up with the same problem, the app continues to force crash. I've tried to download one of the precompiled apps from backhead92, which turns out to force crash too.

This is a guide for making themes for Theme Chooser. Feel free to add idears of stuff I left out.
When getting a hold of what everything inside the theme-apk does, you should also be able to port CM10 themes to CM7.
Let's start by getting an overview of the content of a theme-apk.
In the root of the theme-apk we find:
Inside the res-folder there are some folders.
In the values-folder are we have a group of XMLs. This is just a quick run down. Detailed explanation comming later:
colors.xml - Defines colors as names (text) to be used in styles. Instead of writing "#ffc6c6c6" all the time, you can use a more understandable name like "@color/xperia_eclair_dark"
drawables.xml - Used to transform images in a themed app to a solid color. Eg. if we want to change the background image for an app to a red transparent filter, we can add a drawable item here with the value "88FF0000" (55 = transparency value. FF = full red. Green and Blue are both set to 00)
integers.xml - Used to set some system values, like the duration of animations, the color of LED on different occasions and more.
Read mere here: http://www.androidjavadoc.com/2.3/com/android/internal/R.integer.html
strings.xml - Here the strings for the theme (name, author etc.) are defined.
styles.xml - Here we have all the themed styles. If you know CSS in HTML you might say "Ahaaa" right away, if not it you might just say "huh?". Don't worry, I will explain later
This guide is devided into seperete parts in the folowing posts.
NOTICE: This is a first simple draft. More tips and tricks will be added to the posts over time.

Visual appearance in Theme Chooser etc
AndroidManifest.xml
This XML defines the visual part of the theme in Theme Chooser and the APK-information in Packet Installer and Application manager.
Here is an exampel:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:hasCode="false" [COLOR="Red"]android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1 Retro"[/COLOR] android:installLocation="internalOnly" [COLOR="red"]package="com.emperordk.theme.retro"[/COLOR]
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:pluto="http://www.w3.org/2001/pluto.html">
<uses-feature android:name="com.tmobile.software.themes" />
<application android:label="@string/theme_name" [COLOR="Blue"]android:icon="@drawable/icon"[/COLOR] android:hasCode="false" />
<theme pluto:themeId="XperiaEclair" [COLOR="Purple"]pluto:styleId="@style/Eclair"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Green"]pluto:name="@string/theme_name"[/COLOR] pluto:preview="@drawable/preview" pluto:wallpaperImage="@drawable/wallpaper" pluto:author="@string/author" pluto:copyright="@string/copyright" pluto:styleName="@string/style_appearance_name">
<meta-data android:name="com.tmobile.theme.redirections" android:resource="@xml/redirections" />
</theme>
</manifest>
The first thing the XML does, is define the theme version, and package ID (the red parts above).
To avoid collision with other apps and themes it's very important not to use a package ID that is used by other apps.
Eg. if I would make a retro-theme I would use this package ID:
package="com.emperordk.theme.xperiaeclair"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or something like that
It's not very likely, that this ID is used by any other app
Next we notice, that the name of the theme comes from a string (gren part), so this is edited elswhere, se right below in this post.
In the same TAG the APK-icon is also defined (blue part).
"@drawable/icon" is a reference to the file "res/drawable-ldpi/icon.png" (asuming we make a LDPI-theme).
If the file does not exists in drawable-ldpi, Android looks for it in drawable-mdpi or drawable-hdpi.
Making a LDPI theme, everything should be made in true LDPI for faster and smoother response (Android resizes from MDPI and HDPI to LDPI, and that takes up some CPU-power).
Next we set the parrent style (purple part). This style must exist in the styles.xml (later in this guide).
In the same line a lot of strings are fetched, like theme name and so on, we also define the reference to the preview image the same way as the icon was defined, we must have a file for portrait and landscape. (Notice: wallpaper will not be set by Theme Chooser in CM7).
You should not edit any of the TAGs and/or arguments that are not marked by a color above.
Editing @xml/redirections will have no effect. Theme Chooser will use redirections.xml anyway (I realy want to be able to set the redirection master-XML to another XML-file, but I have not yet found the part of Theme Chooser where I can make it read the string from AndroidManifest.xml).
We can from this XML identify the existence of the folowing files:
res/drawable-ldpi/icon.png
res/drawable-hdpi/preview.png
res/drawable-land-mdpi/preview.png
YES! For some reason place the portrait-preview in "drawable-hdpi" and the landscape-preview in "drawable-land-mdpi", or Theme Chooser will return an error.
The size of LDPI icons is 36 x 36 px
The LDPI prewiew image should be 135 x 209 px (if lager, Android will just resize)
res/values/strings.xml
Here strings for APKs are defined.
As a theme APK realy doesn't do anything but being a container for theme-parts, there are only a very few strings.
This would be the content for a Retro-theme made by me:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">Xperia Eclair Retro</string>
<string name="theme_name">Xperia Eclair Retro</string>
<string name="style_appearance_name">Retro</string>
<string name="author">Emperor</string>
<string name="copyright">2013</string>
</resources>
Transitions, animations and integers
XMLs that controls how transitions and animations looks are placed in the anim-folder.
integers.xml is used to set some system values, like the duration of animations, the color of LED on different occasions and more.
Read mere here: http://www.androidjavadoc.com/2.3/com/android/internal/R.integer.html
---- MORE COMMING -----
PNGs and .9.PNGs
There are meny folders for PNG files. Mostly these will be present in a theme:
drawable-hdpi
drawable-land-ldpi
drawable-land-mdpi
drawable-land-mdpi-finger
drawable-ldpi
drawable-mdpi
drawable-mdpi-finger
Here all the PNGs used by the themed apps are placed.
Making a theme for an LDPI device, it would be best to resize everything to true LDPI. This way, the device does not have to make the resizing it self, and it will speed up the smoothnes of using the device. Also the finished APK will take up less space.
Read more about screen-sizes here: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
Scaling ratio for LDPI:MDPI:HDPI:XHDPI is 3:4:6:8
• 36x36 for low-density
• 48x48 for medium-density
• 72x72 for high-density
• 96x96 for extra high-density
Notice: Almost all themes also got folders for MDPI and/or HDPI even if they claim to be LDPI-theme. In most cases it has no influence on the visuel look.
/drawable-finger-ldpi etc
Well, the "finger"-part is called a "qualifier" and this qualifier should actually not be nessesery for our devises to use.
This qualifier makes it explicit, that PNGs in this folder are for touchscreen devices, doh!. This makes it possible to have different PNGs for touchscreen and non-touchscreen devices.
But other qualifiers than "finger" can be usefull, eg. if we draw some letters on a PNG, that has to be different for different languages, or the PNG must look different because layouts are also different eg. left-to-right og right-to-left text, we can make language-dependent qualifiers.
This is advanced theming, LOL. List of qualifiers read more here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#AlternativeResources
If you are theming an app that holds PNGs in a "finger" folder, just do the same in your theme.
How to edit .9.PNG read more here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033415
Styles and colors
styles.xml
When you for the first time open and look at the content of styles.xml you might regret starting to learn about theming.
But it's not that hard first you understand what it's all about.
Lets start with a very simple example.
We got this simple app: Calculator.apk with the package ID: com.android.calculator2
NOTICE: Some genius made a fixed black background in the layout-XML for this app. That's why the background can't be themed, but I fixed that. Grab the fixed Calculator.apk here. http://www.mediafire.com/?8x4q08tpcqnl2jf
Calculator.apk looks like this unthemed:
The steps to learn how to theme that app would be to decompile it and then read it's "AndroidManifest.xml"
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:versionCode="10" android:versionName="2.3.7" package="com.android.calculator2"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" android:targetSdkVersion="10" />
<original-package android:name="com.android.calculator2" />
<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon">
<activity [COLOR="Red"]android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"[/COLOR] android:name="Calculator">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Here we learn that it's themed by the style named "Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" from "@android" (red line) wich is the same as "framework-res.apk".
So we decompile "framework-res.apk" and open "res/values/styles.xml" and look for a style named "Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" and find this:
Code:
<style name="Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" parent="@style/Theme.Black">
<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
It doesn't look of much, but it tells us, it enheriets it's styles from "Theme.Black". Aha! We find it and it looks like this:
Code:
<style name="Theme.Black" parent="@style/Theme">
<item name="colorBackground">@color/black</item>
<item name="windowBackground">@color/black</item>
</style>
It should be very obvious, that the style makes a solid black background. Let's change that from our theme.
First lets set up a string for a transparent color. We will almost for sure need that a lot anyway. Chances are, that you a using an exsisting theme as a base for your theme, and most likely it's already defined.
In our theme-APK-folder we open "res/values/colors.xml" and add this inside the resources-tags:
Code:
<resources>
...
<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>
...
</resources>
Still in our theme-APK-folder we open "res/values/styles.xml" and add this inside the resources-tags:
Code:
<resources>
...
<style name="Theme.Black" parent="@android:style/Theme.Black">
<item name="android:colorBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/semc_bg</item>
</style>
...
</resources>
Notice the difference in how to write the style in our theme and how it was written in the original framework-res.apk!
Lets explain what it does:
First of all we give it a name. It's smart to keep the same names to make it easy to remember what this is for.
Next we add an argument that inheriets styles from the original style from the original framework-res.apk. It's not nessesery for this style as we change everything, but for other styles where we only will change a few things this is smart.
The two item-lines then sets background-color to transparent and sets background-image to "res/drawable-ldpi/semc_bg.png" from our theme-APK.
Final step is to add style-reference. In our theme-APK-folder we open "res/xml/android.xml" and add this line inside the resource-redirections-tags
Code:
<resource-redirections>
...
<item name="style/Theme.Black">@style/Theme.Black</item>
...
</resource-redirections>
Now Theme Chooser will replace the style in framework-res.apk with the style from our theme-APK.
We have made our first themed style (In post #6 we will also theme the PNGs of Calculator.apk). The result looks like this:
So your next question will be: What all the style-names in styles.xml are responsible for different texts etc.?
Well, I will gather all info about that. Untill then read here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html
https://android.googlesource.com/pl...s/heads/master/core/res/res/values/styles.xml
------ for geeks ------
The problem is in Calculator.apk in the file main.xml in folders layout-land and layout-port.
At the top of both XMLs we find these lines:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#[COLOR="red"][B]ff[/B][/COLOR]000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
...
The problem is the part highlighted in red.
This defines a non-transparent full black background for the entire layout of the app.
The first 2 hex ff is = no transparency. 00 would = full transparency. The rest is just normal hex-RGB-color-code.
Yes, the app starts by getting it's layout as described in my link in post #5 above. This is all fine. But then on top of that, we get a LinearLayout-container with solid black background, covering any other background defines by our styles... not clever at all LOL.
The fix i made in link above is just to change the background to full transparency, like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#[COLOR="Red"][B]00[/B][/COLOR]000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
...
XML-references [updated 13/2-13]
In the xml-folder we have all the XMLs that are responsible for theming apps.
We already had a sneak-peek at res/xml/android.xml above. Let's see how the redirection-XMLs work.
The master-XML is "redirections.xml". Here each themed app is referenced to an XML.
All themed app then have it's own XML that controles how the app is themed - both PNGs from drawable-folders and styles from "res/values/styles.xml".
It's not only standard apps that can be themed. Any app, also from Google Play, can be themed.
The most simple theme is just to change the apps icon in the app drawer. Most themes for the stock email app only changes the icon.
More theming would be to exchange drawables (PNGs), and the next more advanced step is theming styles, and if you are totally crazy you also make a lot of qualifier dependent theming (mostly language dependent).
This is an example from a theme, that themes all standard apps:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<theme-redirections
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:pluto="http://www.w3.org/2001/pluto.html">
[COLOR="Red"]<package-redirections android:name="android" android:resource="@xml/android" android:minSdkVersion="7" />[/COLOR]

<package-redirections android:name="com.cooliris.media" android:resource="@xml/com_cooliris_media" android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<package-redirections android:name="com.android.email" android:resource="@xml/com_android_email" android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<package-redirections android:name="com.android.inputmethod.latin" android:resource="@xml/com_android_inputmethod_latin" android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<package-redirections android:name="com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget" android:resource="@xml/com_google_android_apps_genie_geniewidget" android:minSdkVersion="7" />

<package-redirections android:name="com.android.packageinstaller" android:resource="@xml/com_android_packageinstaller" android:minSdkVersion="7" />
</theme-redirections>
The reference to the framework-res.apk is a little special. See the red line at the top.
The rest uses the apps package-ID. Knowing the package-ID you can theme any app. Also apps from Google Play.
In each of the XMLs for each app, all file-redirections are defined.
So we want to theme Calculator.apk to make it look like in stock Eclair ROM.
We already themed the style above, now we want to theme the icon and all images used by Calculator.apk.
In the decompiled Calculator.apk from CM7 ROM we find 2 drawable-folders:
drawable
- blue_button.xml
- button.xml
drawable-mdpi
- advanced.png
- clear_history.png
- icon.png
- simple.png
In the decompiled Calculator.apk from stock Eclair ROM we find these 2 drawable-folders:
drawable
- blue_button.xml
- button.xml
- transparent_button.xml
drawable-ldpi
- advanced.png
- calculator_button.9.png
- calculator_button_pressed.9.png
- clear_history.png
- icon.png
- simple.png
First we notice that the 3 normal PNG files looks exactly the same, aside from MDPI/LDPI. In this case there is no need for theming those.
Also notice there is no folder for landscape, as there is no need for a different looking PNG/XML.
But we want to theme the icon and the two XMLs from drawable. Remember, that XMLs in the drawable-folder are seen as any other PNG in a drawable-folder.
The icon from stock Eclair is renamed into something easy to understand, like ic_launcher_calculator2.png, and copied to our theme-apk-folder res/drawable-ldpi.
We will also copy the two .9.PNGs, as we will use them to make button-animations (explained in next post below).
The content of "res/xml/com_android_calculator2.xml" will look like this for theming the icon and the two XMLs.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resource-redirections>
[COLOR="red"]<item name="drawable/icon">@drawable/ic_launcher_calculator2</item>[/COLOR]
<item name="drawable/blue_button">@drawable/calculator_button</item>
<item name="drawable/button">@drawable/calculator_button</item>
</resource-redirections>
The red line makes a redirection for the icon as shown in the app-drawer to a PNG in our theme-APK "res/drawable-ldpi/ic_launcher_calculator2.png".
We also make redirections for the XML-drawables, but as all buttons looks the same in stock Eclair we redirect to the same file for both button-types. Read more in next post about Advanced image and color animation.
Notice, that we do not make any redirections to the two .9.PNGs as they do not replace anything.
Advanced image and color animation [updated 14/4-13]
/color
The "color"-folder is a somewhat misleading foldername. Here we place XML-files that are used instead af a HEX-color-code. Yes, the XML-file it self is the color.
Normaly to set a text color in a style-class, you would use a tag like this:
Code:
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
Notice 8 HEX-digits.
This will just make the text full bright white. The first 2 hex-digits sets transparancy to "ff" = no transparency (00 = full transparency). The next 6 digits is the color in RGB-format, 2 hex-digits for each (red, green and blue).
But we could also set the color of some text to - not a HEX-color-code, but - the name of an XML-file in the "color" folder, like this:
Code:
<item name="android:textColor">@color/eclair_button_default</item>
This tag sets the text color to the XML-file "res/color/eclair_button_default.xml". The content of the XML-file can then define colors for different stages like selected, pressed etc.
In this way we can have the color of the text change when eg. a button is tapped. Cool stuff right?
---- MORE COMMING -----
/drawable
This folder is used just like the "color" folder, just for PNGs instead of colors, so eg. the PNG will change when tapped.
Normally the XML that theme an app will make a reference to a new PNG-file from the theme-APKs drawable-ldpi folder, but if no PNG with the refered name exists, Android looks for an XML-file in "res/drawable" instead.
The content of the XML-file can then define PNGs for different stages like selected, pressed etc.
Theming Calculator.apk we came across two XMLs in the drawable-folder.
The content of the 2 XMLs in Calculator.apk from CM7 ROM looks like this:
button.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#ff000000" android:endColor="#ff333333" android:angle="90.0" />
<corners android:radius="0.0dip" />
</shape>
blue-button.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#ff071622" android:endColor="#ff253541" android:angle="90.0" />
<corners android:radius="0.0dip" />
</shape>
As noted, the XMLs defines a gradient color for two different colors (blue and black), that looks like this:
When tapped there is no button-animation aside from edge-glow when relesed.
The chalange is to make it look like in stock Eclair ROM; transparent and when tapped the whole button glows bright:
The two steps (normal and pressed) comes from two .9.PNGs mentioned above.
In Calculator.apk from stock Eclair ROM this is accomplished by the use of a drawable-XML:
transparent_button.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/calculator_button" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/calculator_button_pressed" />
</selector>
The other two XMLs are not used, but must be leftovers from the original devs.
Looking at the XML-code, we notice a fairly simple way of making animations in buttons. We have got two item-lines acording to a pressed or not-pressed state.
Thats all there is to it.
The drawables refered to is the two .9.PNGs
So we rename transparent_button.xml to calc_button.xml (carefull not to use filenames already used by other drawables like another PNG) and copy it to "res/drawable" in our theme-apk-folder.
The result looks like this with the old icon, look and feel from the stock Eclair ROM:
You might notice a slight difference in spacing betwean the buttons from the stock one. Well, we will fix this too in another post - here in this thread - soon.
HA! Not a dry eye in the room.

hi guy's.
i'm trying to cook a rom and i want to set a style (sliding tab) as a default for lockscreen and incall lockscreen.
i searched a lot in google and xda but i didnt find any thing that can help me to do this!
i think i have to edit or add some line in lockscreen_style_settings.xml that is stored in CMParts.apk\res\xml

Hello buddies..
From the concept SHARING IS CARING, I am going to share some mods specifically on SecSettings.apk that I stumbled across and share it with you in one thread
Keep in mind that most of them are not mine but from the community so actual credits are to be given to the owners. So please let me know if you have any modding that I didn't mention
So let's start!!
Needed tools:
1) Apktool or others that do the job
2) Notepad++ program from here
3) The patience and a willing partner! sorry no link for that
I am not going to teach you how to use these programs because I am assuming that you already know how to use them if not then check their respective documentations!
You must deodex SecSettings.apk before proceeding.
A lot of works are done by various xda members, some are from other sites, some are mine. If you found the guide of your mod here and you haven't been credited, please PM.

Adding Custom image + Onclick Functionality
Credits to @iamareebjamal
Decomplie SecSettings.apk using Apktool
Download the SettingsSource.zip
Extract contents of SettingsSource.zip to respective folders in SecSettings.apk
Open res/xml/device_info_settings.xml
Add this just a line above the first Preference tag
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@layout/areebisawesome" android:key="blah" android:title="" />
Now go to res/drawable
There, you'll see cosmic.png Change it to any png of size 320x200 You can change this size description in res/layout/areebisawesome.xml
N.B: Also we can use android:layout_width="fill_parent"so that if we add small resolution picture then it will automatically fill whole width

Onclick Functionality
Credits to @abhi922
Open res/layout/areebisawesome.xml
Add the blue code to the XML
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:paddingBottom="6.0dip" [COLOR="Blue"]android:clickable="true"[/COLOR] android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="400.0px" [COLOR="blue"]android:src="@drawable/about"[/COLOR] android:scaleType="fitXY"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
What I've Done ????
Added android:clickable="true" ------> to make our layout clickable
Added android:src="@drawable/about" ------> it is a xml not a picture/png...[it will replace our images on click ]
Create new file about.xml at drawable folder
Add this code to it
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/about2" />
<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@drawable/about2" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/about1" />
</selector>
Now add about1.png as first unpressed picture
And about2.png as pressed picture...
Recomplie
Adding About ROM new information
Decompile SecSettings.apk
Open /res/xml/device_info_settings.xml

You can add or remove fields in device_info_settings.xml and strings.xml as you like
Recompile
Integrating application
Decompile SecSettings.apk.
Decompile the program that you want to add to settings menu (in this example will take chainfire's SuperSU app)
Go to res\drawable-xhdpi folder and add icon for your program that you want to add (you can take it from decompiled program in res/mipmap-xhdpi.
Go to res\values folder and open strings.xml by NotePad++ and add these lines just before </resources> for your program
Code:
<string name="romaddons">ROM Addons</string>
<string name="superuser_text">Superuser</string>
Go to \res\xml folder and open settings_headers.xml by NotePad++ and add the blue lines
Code:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_accessibility" android:id="@id/accessibility_settings" android:title="@string/accessibility_settings" android:fragment="com.android.settings.AccessibilitySettings" />
[COLOR="Blue"] <string name="romaddons">ROM Addons</string>
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_superuser" android:title="@string/superuser_text">
<intent android:targetPackage="eu.chainfire.supersu" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActivity" />
</header>[/COLOR]
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_development" android:id="@id/development_settings" android:title="@string/development_settings_title" android:fragment="com.android.settings.DevelopmentSettings" />
Then install the program you want to add on your phone
Extra step is to remove this line in AndroidManifest.xml in your decompiled SuperSU app so to disappear from the launcher
Code:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
Adding other apps
Sample down here for learning
Code:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_xxxx" android:title="@string/xxxx_text">
<intent android:targetPackage="" android:action="" android:targetClass="" />
</header>
"android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_xxxx"" : name of icon you put in drawable-xhdpi folder if you want it to be empty the add this to drawable and empty_icon as the name of the icon
"android:title="@string/xxxx_text"" : name of string put for added program in strings.xml
"android:targetPackage=""" : package of wanted program inside its own AndroidManifest.xml
"android:action=""" : first action of wanted program inside its own AndroidManifest.xml
"android:targetClass=""" : class of the wanted package inside its own AndroidManifest.xml to start with in this case its .MainActivity

Setting up a custom settings tab
Credits to @Didact74
Download Smali.zip
Place it in smali/com/android/settings
Navigate to res/xml/settings_headers.xml
Add this line of code anywhere you want it
Code:
<header android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_romcontrol" android:id="@id/new_tab" android:title="@string/rom_control" android:fragment="com.android.settings.NewTab" />
android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_romcontrol = The icon you see in the tab and the location that icon is stored
android:id="@id/new_tab" = Android ID thats stored in res/values/ids
android:title="@string/rom_control" = The title the new tab is given located in res/values/strings
android:fragment="com.android.settings.NewTab" = points to the smali that controls this tab
Create your own icon.png (size 50 x 50) and drop it in res/drawable-xhdpi
Navigate to res/values/strings.xml & add this line of code before </resources>
Code:
<string name="rom_control">Rom Control</string>
<string name="rom_addons">Rom Addons</string>
Create an XML file with the name "new_tab.xml"
Navigate to res/values/ids.xml & add this line of code before </resources>
Code:
<item type="id" name="new_tab">false</item>
Example:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/rom_addons"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:settings="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.settings">
<!-- Place your settings here -->
</PreferenceScreen>
You will need to add the necessary lines to res/strings found in the XML if would add any others
Do not worry about finding a unique ID for res/public just let the system generate one for you
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Recompile the decompile to generate ids in public.xml
Find this line in res/values/public.xml
Code:
<public type="xml" name="new_tab" id="0x7fxxxxxx" />
Take your unique id and change it in NewTab.smali from
Code:
const v1, [COLOR="Red"]0x7f070082[/COLOR]
To
Code:
const v1, [COLOR="Blue"]0x7fxxxxxx[/COLOR]
Then change
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v1}, Lcom/android/settings/[COLOR="Red"]didact/RomSettings[/COLOR];->addPreferencesFromResource(I)V
To
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v1}, Lcom/android/settings/[COLOR="Blue"]NewTab[/COLOR];->addPreferencesFromResource(I)V
Done :good:
Switch to Light theme
Decompile the SecSettings.apk
Go to "res/values/" folder and open the file "styles.xml" with Notepad++
Click "Replace" or press "Ctrl+H"
In the "Find What :" box enter "DeviceDefault" and hit next
In the "Replace with: " box enter "DeviceDefault.Light"
Make sure only "wrap around" box is checked
Then press replace all

This one is explained very well by @[email protected] in this post. Make sure to hit Thanks button for him
Owner Profile in About Device
Credits to @Deckoz2302, @b16h22 and @nightwalker
Download the zip and extract it Owner_Profile_Mod.zip
Decompile SecSettings.apk
Go to res/values/ids.xml... add these:
Code:
<item type="id" name="image">false</item>
<item type="id" name="owner">false</item>
<item type="id" name="linear_layout">false</item>
<item type="id" name="profile_pic">false</item>
<item type="id" name="layout1">false</item>
<item type="id" name="change_picture_text">false</item>
<item type="id" name="photo_picker">false</item>
<item type="id" name="linear_layout1">false</item>
<item type="id" name="layout2">false</item>
<item type="id" name="name_field">false</item>
<item type="id" name="name_edit">false</item>
<item type="id" name="profile">false</item>
<item type="id" name="profile_name">false</item>
<item type="id" name="ic_qs_default_user">false</item>
Next go to res/values/strings.xml.. add these:
Code:
<string name="change_pic">Change profile picture</string>
<string name="profile_pic">SET PROFILE PICTURE</string>
<string name="profile_name">CHANGE PROFILE NAME</string>
Now find the files you extracted and put the com folder in correct directory..
Code:
SecSetting/smali/com/blac
Now put the files from the res folder in correct directories..
Code:
res/layout/lacourb.xml
res/layout/profile_info.xml
res/drawable-hdpi/ (is where the png files go)
res/drawables/done.xml
res/drawable/pick_profile_picture.xml
Forgot to include it so add ic_qs_default_user to res/drawable/xhdpi
Now go to where you want to have the option of changing the Profile Picture and Name. Maybe display_settings.xml it doesn't matter so put it where you want it.
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="Owner Profile Picture">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.blac.Profile" />
</PreferenceScreen>
XML's will vary too depending on which one you pick so you need adjust the tag in the beginning of the line and the end of line depending on what it is calling. Example: <PreferenceScreen></PreferenceScreen> OR <headers></headers> so visualize the layout of the xml
Now go to res/xml/device_info_settings.xml and add:
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Device Info" />
<PreferenceScreen android:fragment="[COLOR="Orange"]com.android.settings.deckoz.RomControl.General[/COLOR]" android:focusable="false" android:layout="@layout/lacourb" android:key="profile_pic" />
Pay special attention to the line in ORANGE. This line defines where it takes you when the image is clicked when in About Device. So you would NOT add the same directory as mine because you won't have it. But you DO need to define this because if DO NOT it will FC
So say you want it to be under Users in SecSettings/General/Users.. you would add it like this:
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Device Info" />
<PreferenceScreen android:fragment="[COLOR="Orange"]com.android.settings.UserSettings[/COLOR]" android:focusable="false" android:layout="@layout/lacourb" android:key="profile_pic" />
So now when you click the picture in About Device it will bring you to this directory in SecSettings. So you'll end up in SecSettings/General/Users
Now open your AndroidManifest.xml. At the bottom add these lines:
Code:
<activity android:label="@string/change_pic" android:name="com.blac.Profile">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Okay now compile your SecSettings..Then grab the newly compiled one and decompile it.. Make sure you keep the AndroidManifest.xml because you changed it..
Now go to the MY public.xml you downloaded and extracted and then open YOUR res/values/public.xml open it and keep it open..You need to have these open to compare ids..
Open your smali folder you added: com/blac/
You need to find all the ids in the smali and change them to match yours.. for example open com/blac/Profile.smali.. Search 0x7f0401ee
Under my public.xml this id: 0x7f0401ee is for "profile_info".. Yours will NOT be the same.. SO you need to search each id in the smali and then in MY public.xml, you downloaded, then search yours and changed the id's...
NOTE: Be free to changed whatever you want..directories, names of xml etc...
Adding 5 icons shortcut on lockscreen
Credits to @Mirko ddd
Decompile SecSettings.apk and navigate to:
smali\com\android\settings\lockscreenshortcut\LockScreenShortcutSettings.smali
Search for the method ".method static constructor <clinit>()V"
Add the blue code in change of the red code
Code:
.method static constructor <clinit>()V
.registers 2
.prologue
const/4 v1, 0x0
.line 79
[COLOR="Blue"] const/4 v0, 0x5[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Red"] const/4 v0, 0x3[/COLOR]
sput v0, Lcom/android/settings/lockscreenshortcut/LockScreenShortcutSettings;->MAX_SHORTCUT_ICON:I
.line 80
sput v1, Lcom/android/settings/lockscreenshortcut/LockScreenShortcutSettings;->DEFAULT_CURSOR_WIDTH:I
.line 81
sput v1, Lcom/android/settings/lockscreenshortcut/LockScreenShortcutSettings;->ICON_5_CURSOR_WIDTH:I
return-void
.end method
Now we need to set the right icon width for the icons, if not the fifth icon won t be showed
Decompile framework-res.apk
Navigate to res\values-hdpi\dimens.xml
Edit these 2 strings with following values
Code:
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_application_shortcut_icon_width">52.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="keyguard_lockscreen_application_shortcut_icon_height">50.0dip</dimen>
Recompile and push both apks with 0644 permissions

1. Go to res/drawable-[your device dpi]
2. In here you'll find all kind of images but I'm gonna give you about some of the main images and you figure out the others
ic_settings_* : These where you find all the icons on the settings menu, some of these are unused which are hidden
ic_sync_*_holo : These are sync animations that appear in the "Accounts and sync" menu
ic_wifi_lock_signal_* & ic_wifi_signal_ *: These are wifi signals that appear in the "Wi-Fi" menu
shortcut_ *: These icons in which we make shortcuts from the settings widget
lock_anim_* : These are the tutorial images to teach you how to use pattern (don't bother if its hidden)
motion_ *: Motion tutorial (don't bother if its hidden)
3. Navigate to res/mipmap-[your device dpi]
ic_launcher_settings : Launcher icon

Nice
Super helpful thread
Does anyone want to know how to change the default app on the home screen? I want to basically be able to change it where my app shows default on the home. So even if I factory reset it will still show on the homescreen.

Well its off-topic but you need to decompile your launcher if its samsung launcher then its SecLauncher2.apk or touchwiz30launcher.apk then go to res/xml here you will find the arrangements modify it then compile push it to your device and then clear data for the launcher

Hello
I want to change background color quick panel toggle but i can't find what value changes.
It could very helpfull if you tell me which value changes , i think it's in systemui/res/values/colors.xml but i don't find which it is.
Thanks
