Hey guys.
Thank you devs for your wonderful roms and thank you communities for being so helpful.
I wanted to ask if HALO feature can be ported to TouchWiz roms since the source for HALO was released to the public by ParanoidAndroid.

Just report it and the mods will lock it.
The problem is the Halo source needs to be merged into your ROM source and Samsung do not release their ROM source. Essentially you need 2 sets of Source. Halo is not enough.

And why not, exactly? The Facebook Chatheads works with Touchwiz.

This is not HALO but at least you will have the notifications.

Chatheads is nothing compared to Halo.
Halo is compiled into. Settings.apk and /frameworks
You cannot compile these on touchwiz because there's no code to compile

TouchWiz should not have any reason that it could not work with Halo. unless TouchWiz doesn't play nice with part of the framework. The APK's can be decompiled and recompiled to include both framework 'parts'.

And one step further, the TouchWiz framework can be added to existing ROM's with no problem. I don't believe that Halo is changing any core API's, it is replacing them with other implementations that allow Halo to manage things instead of what currently happens.
Of course, I don't have a really good understanding of what else is going on behind the scenes, but Halo works with any app, and if the apps dont require a recompile, I'm not sure why the TouchWiz framework would.

Halo exists outside of framework-res.apk. This is why I said /frameworks in my previous post
Have you looked at the Halo commits?
Here they are:

No they can't. What you get when you decompile an apk in no way even slightly resembles what you have before you compile it from source.
Take a look at the Halo Commits. Look at all the "imports". How do you propose they are handled by decompiling an apk?
Decompiling and recompiling an apk is child's play and should not be compared to real source code compiling in any way.
When compiling frameworks (including but not exclusive to frameworks-res.apk) you are pulling instructions from thousands of java and cpp files. Over a GB of text instructions. Do you have any idea how much code that actually is?
When you decompile an apk, you get the sum of it's parts and you can make some minor changes there. When you compile an apk from source, instructions are taken from files that do not end up even in the apk and many of these files are the files that are amended within the Halo commits

Again, it's nothing to do with how it acts once compiled. Its getting it compiled that is the impossibility

We're not asking Halo to make the framework to be a notification like any other app. We're asking the framework to handle every other app differently.
I really think you should take a closer look at the halo source code. It can only be compiled in from source. You do not end up with source when you decompile an app. You end up with it's parts that were created from the source.
Edit > Wait, do you think we're talking about "TouchWiz Home", the launcher? We're not. Touchwiz is much, much more than the launcher. It is the entire ROM framework too. it is THIS that we are talking about when we say "TouchWiz".

Where have you seen TouchWiz being added to AOSP?? There is no source for TouchWiz UI. TouchWiz is not only the TWLauncher. Its a whole different UI.
Consider this, you have source for AOSP based ROMs and source for Halo. So one can add Halo into AOSP. Decompiling twframework-res.apk etc doesn t actually decompile it to source (.java) does it?? All you get are a bunch of Smali files which is a big headache. All the bet porting Halo using smali.

You can apparently port the touchwiz framework (which sits atop the android framework) to an aosp tom. I imagine you need knowledge of dependancies.
Its the complete opposite to what we'd need. I've further clarified my answer to this member in PM

I'm running Liquid Thunderbread v2.6 right now and using the its lockscreen.
I want to put an image of someone as my wallpaper at the lockscreen but the big digital clock and date covers most of the face.
Does anyone know if a method or a an existing flash file I can use to get rid of that?
I did a bunch of research and tried to edit the xml file myself, but I have no clue how to decompile and recompile back into the framework.
just switch your lockscreen to wallpaper rather than clock lol if you really need to decompile though i use apk manager. not sure which apk contains that file but if you can find it apk manager can decompile and recompile it

Assuming you don't want to deal with all that trouble, cyanogemod and probably some other ASOP roms allow you to change the lock screen wallpaper without hacking the compiled apk files.

I guess if you really want, it's an AOSP rom so I would grab the source if he contributed back his changes to it (or ask him). Then grep through the source and find where the clock is and mod the source and recompile. If that's too much, find someone with the time willing to do it
If he wont give the source, as mentioned, hack the apk or switch to an AOSP rom that doesnt hide their sources like OMFGB or CM7.

Thanks? For what?
I Have asked in the past about using sammy based apk files on an AOKP/AOSP based rom. I have been cruising through different forums and have seen other devs and users able to close the gap between the two, being able to use AOSP apps on samsung and vice-versa, and with the AROMA installer i have seen options for which applications you would like to start with.
So in hopes that this will reach the eyes of an experienced dev or someone with more talent than I, I can find a possible solution.
The main apk i am trying to merge is the mms from samsung/touchwiz, call me crazy but i like the lay out of it, and do not find gosms very visually pleasing.
Thanks 1000 times in advance if anyone is able to give advice.:good:
it all depends on if the app you are trying to import has its base in the Samsung framework or not.

I think the short answer for that is a NO since I believe mms solely based on TW framework.

Something must be wrong on my end then. I am able to install and apply the themes. But they do not work very well, only about 10% of the rom actually themes out. I am on Beans build 3. Perhaps that is the issue.

dknell, the theme pictured is from one that i compiled using a little from here and there, including some XML edits from a theme me and speedy_tun collaborated on.
if you'd like for me to send it to you to see if you get the same results, please pm me. the google now widget is themed for apex launcher, and i may have included the edits for it to work on nova launcher but i'm pretty certain it will not work for the stock TW launcher, though the google search widget is themed (just not the persistent search. those XML edits must be written for whatever launcher you wish for it to work on).
i can offer no support and can't do requests (sorry, since having a baby, i don't themes anymore), but will help if i can
let me know,
rf
ps. if anybody else would like it, please contact the theme creators for hue and liquid blue (links are in this thread) for their permission first. their images are included (mostly liquid blue, except for persistent search) so i won't do them wrong by posting it w/o permission.
I did some basic search and couldn't find it.
I'm actually okay with the app drawer's icon, I just don't want it on the bottom right corner. I want it in the middle. I've used Nova so that is my last resort but I actually want to use TW and try out couple of things on it.
Thank you
I prefer my app drawer in the middle as well. I use GoLauncher with a GS4 Touchwiz theme.
I haven't used TW in months and never used the stock launcher so pardon any ignorance, but can't you just long press and drag to rearrange things in the dock like the stock AOSP launcher? If not, and you really don't want to use a different launcher, you'll have to decompile the apk and poke around.
Just curious, why do you prefer the stock TW launcher over something like Nova, which can be set up to look exactly like it if you want?

I for one do theming and now that the dev has gone out of his way to try and prevent themers from doing things... his app and he can do anythign he wants.. But I now switched to using stock launcher.. an no it can be dragged. the other 4 can but not app icon.. its weird...
I have been trying to do this for weeks, almost months! Previously on a Galaxy S II and now on my I9505 S4. I have decompiled and search throughout xml files and smali files and I can't find it anywhere. I suspect that it has something to do with the animation. Because when you delete all of the other apps out of the dock (Hotseat) the all apps icon is in the middle. Which is great, if you don't want any other apps in the dock. But then as soon as you go to add another icon in there, it creates almost like a little buffer in between the apps icon and the icon you have just put in the drawer.
So I think it has something to do with animation which needs to be disabled and I don't think there is any way to do it in any of the res folders (layout, values, etc) so I'm fairly certain it needs to be done in smali files, but smali to me is like trying to read Swahili so I can't really work out how to do it.
If I find out how to center the apps icon then I will post it here, but for now it's proving to be fruitless.

I understand that you're making a correct statement, but you are oblivious to the fact that he wants this for the TW launcher. If he wanted to switch to nova he would have. Hell, all AOSP based launchers allow this.

Same. If you could dig through the smali files while the launcher was active (IE if you could dig through the smali files while the launcher was running on your device) you might be able to find it by comparing an active launcher with just the app menu button as opposed to one with all 5 spots filled ... however, I'm not sure that's possible. Could it be emulated/VM'd on a PC?

The csc folder is in /system I thought that after modifying SecLauncher3.apk (smali, xml, etc..) that you had to change some text in /system/csc/feature.xml and /system/csc/default_workspace.xml in order for the changes to occur
Any luck yet?

Themeing the SG4 has been a challenge to say the least.
If we work together I believe we will be able to achieve much more.
Basically post your base that you are on, what .apk you are needing help with, maybe a screen shot to show.

I have been able to theme the Dialer to black background, but have had no luck with changing the SecContacts.apk background.
If anyone can help, or has any ideas, please let me know.

I mean I don't suck or anything, I first started out themeing, but then I did my first smali MOD and was hooked.
I was on 7 HTC phone before coming to the SG3/SG4 so I haven't ever themed Samsung besides SG3 which was cake, but it was also using Bean's work as a base 99% his. I can do it I just don't enjoy it as much, as I am not as good.
I'll help anyway as well.
Hope can get the contacts bro. I really want to get the AOSP theme rocking. Maaybee you want to team up with me on it? who knows? that would be so sick.
Either way glad this thread will hopefully get some good use for people.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but I think it is in the framework. It's something like tw-background light/dark. I'll double check when I get home to confirm.

I think this is right but I learn as I go.
Frameworks drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi /tw_background_holo_light.png
I'm gonna theme to darken dialer so if I can confirm I'll report.
Edit: that did change contacts/recents backround but not dialer.

Dialer background is in a different spot for what ever reason. Its in sec contacts apk under one of the layout files with "dialpad_fragment" in the name.

if you change the contacts_list_content.xml in SecContacts and add android:background(line 12) that will change that. The problem with changing the image in frameworks file, is if any other apps calls a system resource it will make it darkbackground with most likely black text... This screwing that up.
So then you gotta redo that app. so I prefer to make the app inverted all by iteself and not reply up backgrounds and such from framework if I can help it....
Just a different way of doing it.....

Sorry. long weekend. Wrong person you are correct..
FWIW both methods did the exact same changes..
im trying to change the background of secsettings.apk from black/white text to white/black text
i know the changes need to be made in secsettings.apk. Nothing in there references a framework file.
i changed devicedefault to devicedefault.light in /res/vaules/styles.xml with no luck
any advice?

So just use the compare plugin in notepad++. It will highlight where text is moved.
