[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
Actually I also have a doubt here:

The explanations and the existing mods are all related with *replacing* resources that already exist on the target package.

But is it possible to *add* things, i.e., include in the other process resources that come from our mod?

An example:

imagine that I'll add an entry to the Power Menu and I want a new icon to go along with it. I would include it in my mod, but how can it then be used in the target process? The easy way (which I have done on my Keyboad 4.2 dictionary injector) is to replace one of the existing resources using:

resparam.res.setReplacement(pkgName, resType, resName, modRes.fwd(myResId));

Is there a possibility of not replacing resources, but rather add our bundle to the target package's and when programmatically inserting e.g. a button and setting its resource to something like @modPkg:type/name?

Anyway, and responding to sawdoctor's original question, this might work properly for a couple of small changes but not for mass theming.

I also tried to address that scenario and reached the conclusion that although theoretically possible, it's not feasible in practice. Framework resources get special treatment at the native level (caching, for instance) and therefore the best way would be to actually patch files instead of using granular, Xposed-based modifications.

Vertumus has his ICS Domination theme which unpacks your device's apks, replaces the intended files, and repacks them. It might be the best way to do what you're probably looking for.

Search is down. How can I make touchwiz scale properly, or is it just not going to play nice?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] toskabab:
Search is down for me too. Any idea if we can get screen recorder working on this?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
@Isriam: What do you mean exactly? I think Touchwiz is just Samsung's framework. If you mean apps that like the dialer, calendar, calculator etc. look strange when you change the DPI, you can change it back to the original values just for these apps. What's not possible is to choose a custom DPI when the app as hardcorded sizes. This would make them smaller, but they won't scale to the full screen (because they can't).

@toskabab: I didn't check, but aren't there existing apps for that? If not, any prior art might help someone who wants to try to develop a module for this (which excludes me, sorry).
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Isriam:
If I scale touchwiz, it puts the page indicator in the middle of the screen, apps drawer is really small, and widgets all group to the top left. It's just like dialer/calculator where it doesn't scale properly.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
Then the sizes are probably hardcoded as dip values in the layouts instead of using layouts that use the available space. I described the problems with that a couple of pages back. There's nothing the App Settings module can do about it in a generic way, it requires that someone changes the layout.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] toskabab:
There are existing apps but the Galaxy Note 2 is supposed to have this as an in-built feature. It's much easier than using external apps. Unfortunately, they removed this functionality due to claims of copyright infringement and the ability to record netflix videos and such. The original .apk was provided from a system dump and is floating around on this board but it seems like nobody has been able to successfully get it to work. Here is a video of what I am talking about. http://youtu.be/0j-oTLGPUEY

AppSettings uipdate - 0.0.9

Hi,

Following the tests performed by some of you plus some additional changes by rovo89, I published version 0.0.9 of AppSettings on the repository.

Changes vs 0.0.7:

- Fixed FC when launching app without Xposed framework running

- Added fullscreen setting

- Override app orientation

- Resident in memory now working

- Compatibility with Android 4.2.1

- Allow the resource list to be loaded for apps on the SD card

Direct link: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/microdownloads/xposed-app-settings.5/viewfile

(remember to rename the file to .apk after download, if your browser has saved it as .zip)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tassos_i:
First, thanks a lot for your app that I have been using flawlessly since v 0.0.0 (!) for setting language and dpi in various apps.

I tried the "full screen" option, but despite some progress since v0.0.8, applications still FC with v0.0.9. For instance, "maps" seems to be ok after setting to fullscreen, and you can launch navigation from within maps, but if you launch navigation directly, it FCs. Similarly, the Tapatalk application launches correctly in fullscreen mode, but when you try to open a thread, it FCs.

I think the wallpaper scroll needs to be updated as its not working now.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] neol23:
It works for me, but it scrols vertical walls (cannot choose big horisontal wallpaper, only vertical by default), so it does not look good...

Edit1: Sorry, does not work indeed :(...

Could it be because ot statusbar transparency mod (tweakbox), as it worked before ;)?

Edit2: One more thing, though...

Will TabletUI Trigger work on SGN2? And does it triggers TabletUI, or PhabletUI? :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] _TB_TB_:
I have no idea if it will work, I don't have SGN2... It triggers Tablet UI. Just to be safe, be sure you know how to use recovery + adb shell and download Nova Launcher (or similar), since Touchwiz may be a bit unhappy.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
That's easy to try, just deactivate Tweakbox temporarily in the Xposed Installer, reboot and check if it works then.

You might want to make clear in the module description that "trigger" means that the the ROM has to include all the functionality and that some applications might work well if they were programmed with the Phone UI in mind. I mean it's clear to me, but I've received quite many questions why some functions in Tweakbox don't work, best example being the CRT effect.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] GezDixon:
Regarding App settings, what does the "Resident in memory" do and what apps is it useful for?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
It will treat the app as being more important for the phone to behave correctly and avoid removing it from memory unless it has no other choice.

If you activate if for e.g. Phone or Contacts, you should notice that except for the first time you access them, from them on it should react much faster even after you exited and ran other apps.

Normally the memory would have been recycled but not if you activate this option.

If course if you activate this for large apps or too many of them, free memory might become a problem. You'll need to try and see what works for you.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nobnut:
It doesn't like the Note II. SystemUI crashes, the lockscreen is borked and other small issues.

It works well in settings and many apps though :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] GezDixon:
Would this benefit touchwiz or systemui?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
I can't check Touchwiz (you mean the launcher, right?), but at least SystemUI already uses this. The launcher is more likely to be killed by default, so it might have an effect for it. Here are the values which are used for the likelyhood of killing a process: https://github.com/android/platform...va/com/android/server/am/ProcessList.java#L37. Tungstwenty sets -12 (PERSISTENT_PROC_ADJ), which is usually automatically set for system (!) apps which have set "android:persistent=true" in their AndroidManifest.xml.

Hi !

Does anyone succeed to have Google + app in phablet mode (like it is on my Nexus7) with the two columns of posts instead of the one column version in phone mode...

With Tungstwenty's AppSetting App, I tried changing dpi or layout but without success...

Any guess?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:
On my device the list of resources shows these layouts:

- layout

- layout-land

- layout-land-v11

- layout-v11

- layout-v14

- layout-xlarge-land

I set the "Tablet" checkbox and started the app in landscape mode, but didn't notice any difference with the overrides on vs. off ...

Perhaps there's a separate installation apk for tablet devices???

Does someone else experience different results and/or sees a different list of layouts?

It would be awesome. The app could check if theres a feature.xml or others.xml (since some roms has one or the other) and add/manage csc features a-la tweakbox.

Imho is a great idea :)

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
If you just want to change the xml files, you're probably better off to directly edit it. ;) The Xposed way would be to look for the place where the file is read/parsed and override certain parameters at runtime. This would probably be possible if it is done in the Java code (not the kernel). However, I'm not sure if there is any benefit over an app which adjusts the xml directly?

EDIT: Is it possible that this is only for Samsung ROMs?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
I haven't looked at this in detail, but as there is an app for this already - what would be the advantage of Xposed here? Is there any need to patch system functions or so?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tacchan23:
The app only works for the Galaxy Note (not even for the Note 2), that could be Xposed advantage.

But other than that I have no idea how it works, sorry.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
Well, it states that has some requirements for the kernel. Xposed couldn't influence that anyway.

Get it!! But the two columns appears with dpi lower than 210 (from 209) whatever the layout... (I let it on default)...

Thanks!

I installed the SwiftKey mod for prediction on more fields but it doesn't work...

I think it's because of using the new SwiftKey Flow beta...

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tassos_i:
On Note1, I obtain exactly the same results, just by choosing your settings for DPI and screen size, and leaving unchecked "tablet mode". Besides, nothing changes if I check it.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
The tablet checkbox actually just triggers that resources with "xlarge" are used. If the resource list doesn't list a folder which includes this string, there won't be a difference.

"does not work" does not help. What did you do, what happened then, were there any error messages? I have checked the file and it has the correct version string for Xposed 2.0+. Also the update log says it's for the new framework. So you should be able to activate the module. If you can activate it but you see no effect, that's a different thing, but I can't read that from your post.

Not that I'm aware of.

This should be the same as what the mod does: https://github.com/pulser/xposedScr...cherwallpaper/ScrollingLauncherWallpaper.java

As the apk has the suffix "2", maybe they have changed the package name of it?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Tungstwenty:

<[COLOR="red"]original-package android:name="com.android.launcher2"[/COLOR] />

Perhaps the mod needs to be changed to apply the modification to to both "com.sec.android.app.launcher" and "com.android.launcher2" in order to work with this one :confused:

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
With Andriod 4.2, the UI modus is straddling great change: I just installed a simple-phonecall-widget. Can be put on the lockscreen. Great convenience--instead of just answering calls from the closed phone, I can make calls as well. And now, anyone can pick up the device, look at my calls, futz around with my contacts and make a nice long expensive call to Timbuktu. There are widgets to run most any function so the lockscreen can become a series of app-panels, a new launcher. No more security (makes you unlock to install the widget, nothing else!). Indeed, Ubuntu, which I might take over Android 5, has no lockscreen.

I would be interested in a Xpose module to enable restricting write-functions from widgets and apps launched from the lockscreen. Widget-authors need to implement some security themselves but meanwhile, Xpose is available.

Anything in the works?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
And it works fine as soon as you uninstall the framework, right? I have no idea how this can happen, I haven't heard about this before and I can't reproduce it on my phone (which makes it hard to debug). I can offer to look at a logcat if you provide one.

"write-functions" is a very broad term and I doubt that there can be anything generic for this. But if you want to target a specific widget app, you could probably just remove the buttons for things you don't want to have. Xposed has an API to get informed immediately after a specific layout has been inflated. Then you get the chance to manipulate it, e.g. with view.findViewById(xyz).setEnabled(false) or .setVisibility(View.GONE). No plans on my side though.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Question on AppSetup module:

I used it to resize the analog clock widget of 4.2. If I use analog version of the world-clock pane, they did not all fit nicely. So I resized it, beautiful.

I replaced the widget with another version, only difference being the color of the circles (blue, from XDA). The mod no longer worked and nothing "brought it back."

So the question is does the module take some ID off the app. Change the version, ID, that and it will not work. If this be the case, how might I reset the interface for this app so it can be resized once more?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rovo89:
The ID is the package name. So when the new version you use the blue version and it has a different package name, it will appear as a different entry of course. It's actually pretty likely that the package name was changed, to avoid conflicts with the existing widget. One other reason why it doesn't work might be that the sizes are specified in px, not in dip. px don't scale when you change the density.
