This is weird!

I got good reports on the modded widget on a rom(MAximus) but not the other (ARHD)

Could it be that ARHD is not 100% de-oxed?

Anyway I attached the full XML file that is not present in the previous widget (sense 4.0) and that could prevent the m10 tweak I did to work properly.

The #00000000 code didn't work for everyone :eek:

Please rename from txt to xml ;)
[Virtuous Ten Studio] il Duce:
It's probably some dependency in fusion or people not wiping caches, if it worked you did it right.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Jonny:
maXimus is from One X+ base, different fusion.apk SFAIK whereas ARHD is from normal One X base, different fusion.apk = not going to work, you must mod the files for both ROM bases

[Virtuous Ten Studio] vegetaleb:
I have downloaded twice the htcclockwidget.apk from ARHD from 2 different uploaders and they are exactly the same byte by byte,though I will give it a shot again.

The main idea is to be sure that I can mod this widget under Sense 4.5 so when the final base is out it will be easy for me to edit it for everyone and of course install JB rom without regrets

[Virtuous Ten Studio] jeffsanace:
Common_app_bkg is a system wide black background that's used in almost every sense apk. It is not a widget background in 4.0 or 4.1 so I can't imagine it would be in 4.5. The image can be found in com.htc.resources, and in every skins drawable-xx folder. The image is called all throughout sense. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But I've been dealing with that particular image for different mods since sense 3.0 and it's never been called for a widget background.

Thanks again for that awesome work!

I guess i've found a bug?

Don't know exactly if it's a bug.

But if i got a project, and delete the "Binary"-Folder, even if it's empty, it's not possible anymore to recompile the apk.

Maybe it's possible to create it, if it's deleted or can not be found?

I know, it gets created by default. But some cleaning tools delete empty folders. I do not use them, but maybe someone does.

Maybe i could help you :)

Thanks again :good:

You can do pretty much everything with VTS ;)

However, smali is something that you have to learn, you can't just tell someone "edit this and that file".

Hello Diamondblack!

I hope the beta didn't have nasty bugs :fingers-crossed:

Can't wait for your public release :good:
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Nope, all looking fine. :)
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Okay, everyone, we are getting ready for release. :highfive:

However, there are a few points everyone has to understand, so I'll publish them prior to the official launch to get a bit more attention. :silly:

First of all, a huge thanks to my beta testers and tutorial authors: (alphabetical order)

Those guys earned my trust and did the major work on writing all the nice guides and tutorials on the all new VTS website (more on that later).

Let's have a look at the new key features being added in this release:

VTS is now able to decompile m10 images. This means everyone can do skins for HTC Sense devices

Navigatin in XML documents is much easier now. Simply hold CTRL and click on any reference inside a XML document to jump to the source

The content of smali documents gets automatically checked for syntax errors now. Live. And in color. :p

We worked hard to provide you useful guides and tutorials on the new website. Additionally, VTS has a (little) help system built in. These are short explanations for a few key features. You can find everything related to "Help" in the new Help tab.

It seems nobody saw the potential of the old "Backup" feature, so in this version I added an additional window to easily compare different projects, folders and files. This comes in super handy when porting all kinds of stuff to new apk/jar versions for example.

Okay, so, this is only a super short list of new features, the full list of changes (almost 2 pages long) can be found (as always) here:

VTS Changelog

A few additional notes:

I changed the license system a bit to help those that had to start VTS with admin rights to find the license. However, to fully use that fix, you need to activate your license in VTS again. Have a look at your license email if you don't remember anymore how to do that.

This release should fully support Windows 8. There's a little glitch in the "View tab" where one checkbox is a bit cut off, but I'll fix that with the next version.

Speaking of the next version.... This is the last release with support for Windows XP. The next version (the one after the the one that will be released shortly :p) won't suppor XP anymore. So if you are still using XP (shame on you :p), remember to not update after this release.

Despite having fixed the admin issue with licenses, it still seems that VTS needs admin rights for certain other things. If something goes weirdly wrong, try restarting VTS with admin rights.

Victory!
[Virtuous Ten Studio] knightwolf123:
Thank you for everything!
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Oh, two very important points:

You won't be able to build old m10 projects. I changed the structure of the x10 files a bit so the old ones won't work.

Workaround

: Make sure to build all your old m10 projects prior to updating, then update to the new VTS version. After this, simply re-import the built apk into your project (a "self import" basically)

I also changed the format of the project files a bit. When loading old projects a warning will appear about this. Usually all should go well without any interaction, however, it might happen that certain settings for your projects are lost (I didn't encounter this case, but you never know ;) ). Simply re-set those settings again in the project settings dialog.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] who MIKE D:
Thank you very much Diamondback for all the hard work you put into this. You're the man!
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Jonny:
Excellent, I love the new design :) Oh just one question, which version of apktool is included? I read the changelog and it didnt mention it?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Gumby63:
Let the games begin!
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Okay, so now here is the message everyone has been waiting for:

The new VTS release is now live!!!

Head to our all new website and download it!

http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com

Another note: This update is huge. Not in terms of size but regarding new features etc. So I do recommend a clean install to everyone.

Unistall your current VTS version

Delete any leftovers from the install directory of VTS

Install the new version

Register your license again

Of course this is not absolutely needed, but a clean start is always nice ;) However, please note that your settings might get deleted too (things like the recent projects list etc, obviously the projects itself remain untouched)

Currently only the full setup is available, the OTA update will follow later (probably tomorrow).

I want to see that everything works first, before pushing the OTA update. (And I'm heading to cinema to see Skyfall soon :p)

RE: apktool: 1.5 is default now. However, your default apktool might be set to something older (you can change that in the VTS settings)

You can also use a different apktool version. VTS is not bound to any fixed version, just download any apktool, and select this as the default version in the settings.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] torxx:
Party time :)
[Virtuous Ten Studio] mcluvn:
I've had the pleasure of beta testing and writing tuts for vts and I must say that it is the most useful, well put together program for Android that I've ever used.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] varun.chitre15:
I just tried it now :D And I would just say WOWWWW.....

I have found some glitches though

1. Recent apktool adds a '*' (asterisk) to styles for e.g : @*android/style.abc etc, in this case the CTRL + click doesn't work. According to github's apktool repo commits the asterisk is added to avoid many decompilation errors.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] memnoc:
there we go!:good:
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Oha, interesting, I'll see if I can add an easy fix for that. Thanks! :)

EDIT: Okay, I think I have an easy fix, will be part of the OTA that's coming tomorrow or so. :)
[Virtuous Ten Studio] coal686:
I'm getting the following errors when I try to load the framework-res.apk (and when the program starts) even though the log says that they were installed successfully.

17:32:20.740: [Warning] - ApkTool.SearchForFrameworkPath: 'Can't find apk tool framework path! Install a framework file from the settings to fix this issue.'

17:32:20.740: [Warning] - ApkTool.LoadFrameworks: 'Can't find apktool framework directory. Can't load frameworks. Apktool may work anyway.'

The frameworks have been tagged following the directions in the tutorial, but they do not show up in the list of installed framework in settings. They also do not show up in the list of installed frameworks in the New Project dialog box. I can use them though if I manually type the tags in.

I did find a post referencing this here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27067750&postcount=181

with a post later saying it will be fixed in future versions, but at least for me, it hasn't.

I've tried restarting the computer and running as admin, but to no avail. Thanks.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
The bug you are refering to is indeed fixed, so this has to be something else.

I can't really do much right now, I'll add some more debug information to the OTA coming tomorrow or so, so we can analyze this a bit better then.

One idea though: Can you share the actual path of your framework files? That's usually something like

C:\Users\Fabi\apktool\framework
[Virtuous Ten Studio] coal686:
Thanks Diamondback. The path is D:\Aaron\apktool\framework

I moved my users folder to the D drive since my C drive is an SSD. Inside the framework folder are all the tagged framework files that I tried installing multiple times. Maybe since my Users folder is not set to the default location, vts or apktool cannot find them after I successfully install them? I'll try setting my Users folder back to the default and see if that fixes it.

EDIT: So, I copied and pasted the apktool folder from D to the C drive in the location you mentioned and they are all showing in VTS. But, when I add more frameworks, the new ones still default to D and don't show in the list (unless I copy the new ones over to the folder on C).
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Aha, okay, that's definitely a possible issue. However, on my main PC I did the same (also because of C:/ being a SSD :p) and it works fine there.

We'll know more once I publish the OTA update with some more debug information.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] coal686:
Don't know if you saw my edit, but I copied the apktool folder over to the default path you gave and they show up in the list (but new frameworks still install to D). By the way, I didn't actually move my Users folder like I had said. I moved the folders inside (My Docs, Music, etc), but left the User Profile variable set to C in case a program wanted to install something there.

Anyway, thanks again for the help. At least I just have to install the frameworks and then copy them over to C. It's a good workaround to get around my nondefault installation. :good:
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Hm so the issue is actually apktool :D

VTS reads the path of the Users directory directly from Windows, then adds the "/apktool/frameworks" part to it.

I don't know why apktool installs the framework files to D:/... Since that is actually the wrong folder (if /Users is still on C:/)

ApkTool probably takes the path to MyDocs and then uses the parent folder of that. This way the framework files land on D:/ instead of C:/.

I will raise this issue with iBotPeaches. If apktool really behaves like that, I can simply copy that behavior to fix this issue.

Btw, VTS does not need to see your framework files. You can always specify the framework tag manually. Only apktool uses the actual files, so if VTS does not display it's not really a serious problem, just the management features for frameworks are lacking then.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] DutchDanny:
You are branding all images changed with Ten Studio?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Hikari:
Would there be a possibility to edit the layout.xml files in a visual editor like the one in eclipse in the future releases?

just asking, would be an awesome feature though ;)

Other than great app, thanks. I guess everyone was waiting for something like this :D
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
We can certainly think about that, however it's a pretty huge feature, so we need to be sure this is really worth it.

What would you want the most about that feature? The actual possiblity to EDIT it visually or just to have a PREVIEW of the layout?

Previews are MUCH easier than making it editable.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Can you please post a few details of your system? What you describe definitely is NOT something I've ever seen.

So:

OS version

CPU

RAM

32/64 bit

All updates installed for .net?

Did you ever try .net 4.5 beta or Visual Studio 11 beta?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Nope no ETA :P But the editing m10 files is a lot easier now :)

Just to clarify this:

VTS is ready to handle decompiled m10 files

I just made everything related to m10 invisible

The external decoder which is needed to decode the binary m10 file to a xml file is not ready <-- That's the point where the problem is

So once the decoder/encoder works, VTS will support m10 files within minutes ;)
[Virtuous Ten Studio] varun.chitre15:
Here are the details

1. OS version- Windows 7 Ultimate

2. CPU- AMD Phenom II X4 955 Quad core processor @ 4.2 Ghz

4. 64 bit

5. Yes all updates installed

6. Will try and report soon

Update does not seem to be working for me. When I start it says my current version is 1.4.25.4.333 and says there is an update avaialable to 1.4.26.4.342 I click update application and it downlaods and closes but then says update is available with the same version 1.4.25 and update to 1.4.26.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Noooooo, don't test 4.5 :D The reason I asked is because 4.5 screws everything :D

Is VTS all the time slow? Or only when doing special things? Are the any tasks which are handled with normal speed?
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
Read the changelog in the update and you know why! :P

It tells you that you don't need to apply the OTA and instead download the new installer from the site. Everything in the little changelog for the update.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] daman215:
so is it possible to just decode m10 file just toget the images
[Virtuous Ten Studio] varun.chitre15:
Oh ok I didn't tried yet :D

Well not always but UI is very slow

It does decompilation and compilations with normal speed.

Only UI is slow

e.g: When I move my mouse from one option to other then the highlight comes after 1-2 seconds

Also scrolling and opening of solution explorer is slow

In short everything except decomp/comp is slow :(

[Virtuous Ten Studio] Diamondback:
I can have a look at that but I think the last time I checked it was way to much work to implement.
[Virtuous Ten Studio] Ajthescot:
I could be mistaken but I'm sure it's only m10 images .

Although I haven't seen any branding since I bought a licence and can confirm its worth every penny.

I got that excited that I almost pre jacked when I first used it.

It is simply truly fxxxxng amazing.

Thank you team and testers

[Virtuous Ten Studio] jeffsanace:
Think of it this way... There is no other m10 tool released anywhere. Meaning this is the only way that anyone can actually mod them. Since its a one of a kind application, purchasing a license is a must. This team has put a year of work getting this to work properly. This tool with all of its capabilities is worth twice the license price. Absolutely awesome work Virtuous team.

Okay, the OTA is live now. It contains a few additional things compared to yesterday's version:

Added the possiblity to automatically start VTS with admin rights (--> Settings)

Adjusted search algorithm for apktool frameworks a bit so it better reflects how apktool works

X10 files now properly use XML headers
