Yea well i tried flashing the inverted google talk and when i did i lost both. All of the other inverted apps worked i.e. google voice google play youtube etc. just lost my talk. But i got it back found a flashable google talk zip and now i have it back. I still want the black edition but i will wait till i can find one that works

Right now i have settled with moar rom which has a working page buddy. Im rockin the note 2 keyboard with a custom backround and a custom multiview.

As for all the tools with ubuntu i will set it all up today. I have off all day and night monday and all day tuesday. I work at night so allmy work will be done during the day my gmail is dutch18sr@gmail.com
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
just FYI, the tools posted in the op are for use with Windows users. I can't install ubuntu... Ive tried.. Ugh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
I believe that the jre and eclipse are now included in the new version of sdk. It all comes bundled in an adt download. So you should only need the one download for all of that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
@OP

For Linux they're gonna need to grab the file from here so that their devices show up in ADB

And run the following (directory and name is specific to Ubuntu, find out where it needs to go for your distro but the contents can be copied)

cd ~/Downloads
chmod a+r ./51-android.rules
sudo mv ./51-android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
service udev restart

If the last line gives an error, try this:

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Thank you VERY much CNexus!! I currently own a windows operating system that's really the family computer. I haven't been able to install ubuntu unfortunately and highly appreciate anything you can bring to this thread. I will update this in the op. Thank you again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No problem, I dual boot windows and ubuntu because my PC is also the family computer, but fortunately I had enough disk space to partition it and install ubuntu on a nice big space
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Lol, that's EXACTLY my problem... Not enough disk space and my processor is a lil older too... Gawd i need another computer.. Oh what i would do for one.... Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Haha yeah, I got lucky because the rest of the family doesnt use the computer much so there was plenty of space for me to install ubuntu

What I hate is that windows places a block on nonmovable data at the end of its partition, so you cant even resize it by a lot :mad:

I had to reinstall windows on a smaller partition just so i could get ubuntu on my computer :banghead:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Ugh I know. Windows and corporate America hate anything open source or in layman's terms.. FREE lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ayazm.140895:
I know, the first line says that! After that I just see a black screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Um.. Not quite. The splash screen is stored on the kernel in this device. Recovery is on another partition. You should look up " splash screen
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yeah, I forgot this is in the S3 forums:banghead:

Theme toggle buttons; MD4

Hey all

I've tried to figure this out myself, I am sure this is probably trivial to most. I just can't seem to find the answer.

I've decompiled systemui.apk with apktool 1.5.2; with no errors.

I modified

tw_quick_panel_quick_setting_button_bg_normal.9.pn g and tw_quick_panel_quick_setting_button_bg_pressed.9.p ng

in res\drawable-xhdpi

using gimp (while not effecting the black line information used for resizing)

then recompiled the apk (no errors) and flashed it to my phone.

The clear button changed to my blue color (I'm trying a navy blue and gold type of thing, though it will take me forever with my disability, its still fun) but the toggle buttons are still green. screenshot

Could someone please point me in the proper direction for this change?

Thank you!

To your former post if you were still interested in figuring something out, I just thought of something :p Would you be able to port the camera from the S4 on 4.2.2 to us on 4.1.2? Touchwiz camera, not Google Edition, I'm sure many people would enjoy it.

Brightness slider bar - color change?

Hello again

I am attempting to change the color of the brightness slider under the toggle buttons.

I found that the images are called tw_scrubber_control .....png

I found a few of them in framework-res

I edited the images in framework-res\drawable-hdpi as they were the ones that matched what I saw on my phone.

There are also tw_scrubber files in

drawable-sw360dp-hdpi and drawable-xhdpi

the last folder contains additional files that start with the name scrubber w/o the tw_ prefix.

Have I found the proper filenames at least?

I was going to copy the files I edited to every folder I found them in, but I'd rather know and not guess.

Thank you for the assistance !!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
Just a guess, but you probably want the tw pngs if you're editing a tw ROM:beer:

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
hehe ;) for sure. I edited the tw_scrubber* files in the hdpi folder but nothing changed upon flashing (clearing caches of course).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
It's possibly in another folder (mdpi, xhdpi, etc...) also, have you looked in systemui for those pngs?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
Yep.

What I did was once I found out they are normal PNG files. I extracted TW_framework, framework, systemUI and Lidroid APK's and then ran a search across all those folders; for files with the name scrubber in them.

What I will do is replace each set one at a time to see which ones actually change the brightness bar. :)

I appreciate your time, thank you

I just dual boot installed ubuntu on my laptop, looking to get started on learning the dev ropes. How much HDD space would one need to have available? and how important is internet speed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
I honestly only develop on windows. Unless you're planning on developing kernels, or TAR files, everything else can be easily done in windows. But to answer your question, you're gonna want to partition your hard drive with enough room to install ubuntu and the android sdk, dsixda kitchen, cygwin, and any other programs that you may want to include. I would download all the programs you want to run in linux and add up how much room all those programs will take and then add about 30 Gb as a buffer. Also make sure that your processor can handle all those programs as well. It's really best to have a machine that you can soley dedicate to Linux if you want to build kernels tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steelers_exe:
Dont think I want to jump right into the kernel world just yet, so I'll go the windows route. I currently use paint.net for simple themeing projects, like doing sms notification and toggle morphs, what if any would you say is the advantage in using photoshop in more advanced themeing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
I personally would suggest getting the Adobe Cs6 suite. That consists of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks, and Adobe Illustrator cs6. All have thier advantages for major theming with Photoshop being the least advanced and Illustrator being the most advanced. Photoshop was designed specifically for photos. (Single layer non-cgi imagry) Of course you can add layers with Photoshop but again it was designed for photos. If you're advanced with Photoshop, it will work for easy projects. Fireworks was designed with cgi/webdesign in mind. Its perfect for editing existing computer graphics imagery. Some of the advantages for android theming are batch coloring, flattening layered images, editing decompiled .9pngs( as well as compiled . 9pngs if you know web layers), and minor pixel editing and design. Illustrator (very advanced) is used to create your own cgi images and icons. Anchored points of light and shadow that you can literally draw , color, shadow, and even animate images and icons from scratch building graphically your own icons in hd quality.

For simply theming stock android icons or existing icon packs with maybe some minor graphic changes to the icon or image, i personally use adobe firework. It makes all my icons clean and i can batch color hundreds at a time in literally seconds. That makes theming a breeze so that i spend a minimal amount of time on editing icons by hand. I pick out all icons i want to spend some time on by hand and put those to the side. And then choose a color scheme for my theme. I separate all standard stock icons by their colors;--- by like color and separate them into thier perspective colored folders. Then i color one image by hue in the perspective color folder (all greens one folder, blues-its own folder, etc) -save the history as a cmd, and batch color the rest of the icons in the folder in seconds. Just did 300 images in about 40 seconds ;) Then i can take more time on pimping out the major icons within the ROM by hand, such as mms icon, launcher wallpapers, phone icon etc... Fireworks is the way to go for theming, and illustrator for original icons you want to design yourself ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steelers_exe:
Thanks for such a detailed and helpful answer! Looks like I'll have to get em. I'm working on a theme right now and can already imagine how they'd help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hamspiced:
i have a few legitimate questions...

1) What makes certain packages or apps incompatible with the same or similar versions of Android. I would be under the impression that as long as it is the same version it should be cross compatible. So i run into small blacks of misunderstanding when i see people needing ports of certain apps that one carrier offers on their phone that the same phone on another carrier does not offer. Is this because certain framework features are not there that the app references? wouldnt it be as simple as finding the correct apk and copying it?

2) How do you know what apk is what? - I ask this because whenever i go to pull an apk i have to wait for someone in the thread to say pull something.something.apk and usually it is unrelated to the app name. for instance, ever since amazon has done app of the day, i have downloaded that app every day for about 3 years now. and every now and then i have to delete amazons download which is like venesia or something like that. Every apk that is in there has NOTHING to do with any of the apps i have downloaded..

3) How do i slipstream apps - This term is used for when i image or try to group together updates on say windows 7 installations. it refers to getting windows updates and shoving them in the iso when i install windows it has all of the current updates and doesnt have to update once everything is installed (i know that sentance was a bit redundant). But essentially... i flash roms quite frequently. What are the steps i would need to do if i had all the apks of the apps or programs i use most frequently. And rather then use titanium to restore each individual apk, could i not just open up the rom zip, then copy/paste the apks into the rom so when i flash it, it is immediately installed? I know back when i had my htc hero, everyone was having issues "signing" roms. Once i unzip the rom or edit the zip, wouldnt i have to re-sign the rom for it to flash properly?

Thats all for now. I have a bunch of other questions but these will satisfy what i want. Essentially i am sure you can understand with my three questions my intentions. Rather then ask my main question, id rather know the steps involved for each of them. I am just the type of person that needs to know why before i know how.

Thanks extreme, hilarious.

On a side note. I've been working on some MODS for my latest Rom and I noticed that no one had gotten the call recorder MOD working for the MB1 stock or MB1 themed ROM yet. I looked through the smali in the secPhone apk for most of the night and finally found the line that enables the call recorder. Im still not completely familiar with the smali codes for the s3 yet but it can only be one of three choices. Anyway i edited the smali l, compiled the classes.dex and added the lib files and classes to a zip. Now I'm wanting to know if there are any testers out there that can help me out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mewikime:
I'm on Freeza's stock deodexed MB1 rom. I'll test the call record mod :)

Edit: However, I do believe that a Call Record mod is available from Post #2 at Blazer Rom but I haven't ran it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
His change log says his last update was based off of LG8. I made this from the MB1. Haven't seen that yet. But im honestly not sure if it even works. I need a tester i can trust to keep things quiet but also can test all functionality and report his findings. Add me on gtalk for more info, timmetal6669@gmail.com
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mewikime:

What would be needed to do inverted apps? Inverted Gapps to be more specific.

EDIT: I've also never really worked with an apk so I'm pretty sure I'll need to start from the beginning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Inverted apps generally refers to inverted color scheme. What's white is black and vice versa. That's theming. Any kind of theming would use the tools that I've provided in the OP along with adobe cs6 suite. If you have those programs downloaded and installed to your computer, then add me to g talk and I'll walk you through the necessary steps.

How are you guys with Aroma installers?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
I've never used it yet to be honest
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I just got finished making a zip with it

The trick is that you need to remember that the update-binary is strictly to start the aroma UI (so that one is not replaceable), but the update-binary-installer can be replace with an update-binary for your device (renaming to update-binary-installer of course)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Oh, I'm familiar with how aroma installer works, I've just always incorporated all my mods into the ROM. If I used it, it would probably be to give the user choices in battery icons and stuff like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steelers_exe:
Im actually interested in using aroma to replace images, pulldown backgrounds, framework backgrounds, toggles, and that kind of stuff for example. Not for every rom of course, but for roms that are compatible with morphology.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I was posting that for the person that asked, not for the OP, my bad if I caused a misunderstanding :good:

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Have you used it at all? Once you've done it once, it gets really easy afterwards

I started off with making a zip that let me choose one of two apps to install and went from there :good:

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

To add on to the ridiculously long answer up there that takes up my entire screen (lol), sometimes it can be a framework issue

If i were to pull the GTalk app from my HTC EVO shift right now and uploaded it for you to install, strictly speaking API levels it would go through

Now whether it would be functional is another story because it relies on the Sense framework which you dont have, so you would just get an FC party on your phone ;)
