I found 2 threads for this.both were for Sony xperia devices.so I guess that's not the problem.

I am having Samsung galaxy mini running cm9.here is the settings.apk

https://db.tt/FeMTGlhx

What I want to do is define a custom style to be used as a theme for whole application.

One thing more just little offtopic.

If I define a custom theme in styles.XML of framework. Would I be able to use it in settings.apk. like there is Theme.Holo. can I make one my own theme like theme.Holo.light
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
Yes you can redirect to framework's styles.xml from settings

Like when I made settings white I used something like this

<style name="Theme.Holo" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">

Here "@android" means it will get the style from framework
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arpitkh96:
OK but my problem is still not solved.until I am not able to edit manifest.XML. defining styles is useless.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Not sure why you're editing the manifest, seems like you're over complicating things.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arpitkh96:
It is necessary because if i would theme Theme.Holo or Theme.Holo.light images,user apps would also be affected due to changes in framework. But if define a custom style (say Theme.Holo.custom) in framework,then i can easily use it in other system apps.and for that manifest needs to be edited.i am complicating it because i dont want to mess up ui of user apps
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
If the AndroidManifest.xml points to the styles.xml, and the styles.xml...

[B]@android:style[/B]/Theme.DeviceDefault.Dialog

... points to the frameworks styles.xml then this is why I'm not understanding, why would you not edit the styles.xml of the app you're wanting to theme to point to the custom theme you've set in the framework?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arpitkh96:
Yes this method will work but not every app uses theme from its styles.XML ,some are directly link to holo themes.

""you're wanting to theme to point to the custom theme you've set in the framework?""

I do not understood what you want to ask from above line?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
You mentioned setting a custom theme in the framework, which the styles.xml in apps links to, so thats what you need to edit, not the manifest.

Sent from the app on my Z1C...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arpitkh96:
I know that.I am saying that some apps do not use this method ,they use it in manifest like this

"android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo"

How will I edit this
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saqib Nazm:
Let me try to clear your doubt and the miss conception you have a bit If I may,

When something like this is written in manifest xml "android:theme="@style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar" or say "android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar"

the 1st redirection is towards it's own styles.xml, the 2nd one is redirected towards framework (@android)

So, the point here is, you cannot create a new style in the android manifest, it is only used for redirections towards styles.xml of the app itself or to framework or in some case Generic uxp framework.

If you want to edit theme to any parent which is already mentioned in the manifest, then create a new style/edit the existing in the app's style.xml and redirect it from the manifest.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] arpitkh96:
I knew that.

Here is full story.I am theming to make a touchwiz look

Firstly I themed Theme.Holo components in framework because by default ( in ICS) in all system apps and other dialog boxes(like power menu) Theme.Holo is used as a parent theme.

I was successful in doing this.

Then I noticed that user apps which are using Theme.Holo as a parent theme are also modified to touchwiz look which I don't wanted to have .

so I want solution so that system apps use touchwiz theme.and user apps get the original theme.holo .

I believe only solution is that I define a custom style in framework. which is to be used by system apps.and user apps keep using theme.holo.

for that I will have to change parent theme of all system apps to say Theme.tw(defined in framework).

Now if a system app defines its theme like this [MENTION=262514]style[/MENTION]/Themecustomblabla

Then there is no problem I can easily edit styles.XML of that app

but if it uses it like this [MENTION=5711379]ANDROID[/MENTION]:style/Theme.Holo

Then what should I do?

ok, maybe i am barking up the wrong tree, but would this tool help me with the following.

As we all know Facebook has updated to ver 14. Ver 14 requires a separate messaging app that a lot of people are complaining about. I have the apk for version 13. i can install it and i can use the built in messaging app. this is what i want.

however, it updates in the app store. I do not want it to. YES I KNOW I CAN DISABLE UPDATING FOR THE APP STORE but this disables it for ALL apps. I just want Facebook ONLY to not update.

i had a similar situation awhile back with another program. i did not like the direction the company took the app and wanted to keep an older version.

At that time, someone took the apk and decompiled it. they broke the signature and recompiled. I installed it. from that point forward it will not update. I want to do the same thing to version 13 of the Facebook app.

Is this the tool i would need? how would i go about doing this?

thanks.

Please forgive me, but Im in the same boat as ivoda...

Ultimately Im trying to follow this tutorial in an effort to make an app available to the Multi-Window mode on a Galaxy Note 8.0, without rooting.

In order to do it, I need to decompile the apk, which leads me to this thread. Ive extracted the APK on my tablet using APK Extractor, copied it to my laptop, and Ive put it in "place-apk-here-for-modding"... but Im stuck on step "6. Place a framework-res.apk, SemcGenericUxpRes.apk & SystemUI.apk in other folder. "

I don't have any of those three files, and I don't know how to obtain them. Im running Kitkat 4.4.2.

Can someone help me understand this a little better. Im also concerned that I may not want to put the apk into the "place-apk-here-for-modding", since my end goal "requires de-compiling an apk and recompiling it as a signed apk".

Again, would anybody have some time to help me understand this process a bit better?

Sorry for any trouble, but I thank you ahead of time for any assistance.

Screw around with some stuff and try to figure out how to develop USB Otg support. Or maybe ( if you're too lazy. ) request USB OTG in a popular ROM. Are you even unlocked or rooted? You just bought your Xperia but who knows?

Well , first you need to root your device then you install StickMount app by Chainfire in google play then when you insert pendrive then click on mount option over there then download File Manager by Rhythm Software in google play then at path :sdcard/" you will get a folder over there , enjoy now you can use otg on a non- supportable device :D

[Sony Xperia L] Hey Noob:
In my way. It'll never works if ROM doesn't supported it.

For example my nexus 7, using stock ROM rooted and installed Nexus Media Import(USB OTG Mount) didn't work. But while changed to Custom ROM that in Settings - Storage that available if u have USB-OTG for mounting it works. so Basically it will supported by ROM that have feature for USB-OTG Mounter.
[Sony Xperia L] Rohit@91:
didnt get stickmount app in playstore.
[Sony Xperia L] halloga:
it was done for nexus 4, so i think can be done for XL too. however, you may need otg y cable to get 5v if device doesn't supply (like N4 users do)

usb otg

Hello, everybody.

I have discovered that with "USB OTG Helper" from Play Store

you can have OTG on Xperia L.

But Xperia L doesn`t give power to the stuff I´ve plugged in.

So I used a hub with external power supply and a wall outlet

adaptor to connect my pendrive and it works.

Hope I´ve helped you all.

I have tried several JB ROMS(Padawan,JellyBeer and decide to settle with "|ROM||AROMA|| Padawan JB V2 || PIE || Per App DPI ||4.1.2| 5|31".

- with S Note/Calendar and other additional tweaks that I like.

But these are few question and issue I like to get some help.

Q1. Error after I uninstall app "cannot read /data/xposed/modules.whitelist"

I already found another topic thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2169638)

but still could find the clear solution to remove this error.

Yes, this is my third/forth flashing to make sure everything to avoid bad flashing situation and wait 15 min with stopwatch level!

Does anyone know the fix on specifically for this ROM?

I only found "i solved it by installing xposed framework from the rom's settings."

=> How do I run/use/apply this?

Q2. Camera App

While I am installing ROM, I did select "4.2Camera" module.

I was expecting the 4.2 JB style camera (w/ lots of new options.). But it seems like NOT the newest version.

(My factor to the new version things are different option buttons and layout along with function(like burst shooting, timer shooting) with

kind the "O" ring option dial. I do not see anything on my camera app.

Did I do something wrong? or Is there any solution to load new version of camera app?

It would be great if I just could fix/update these two keep 4.1 JB version

Q3. Very Minor - want to change boot/exit animation.

Any easy solution to suggest?

Thank you for all support from everybody in advance.

A1 The answer in the thread you provided was "Originally Posted by aztr0 Go to Settings, Interface, Install Xposed DPI Installer. That is all."

xposed is a separate framework that runs on a low level. There should be a lil green android guy with "xposed installer" in your applications. Open it and press "install/Update"

A2 If you're on a 4.1.2 version you won't be able to get the 4.2.2 camera. There's 3rd party apps like JB Camera or Snap Camera available for purchase though. JamieD also posted this Google Edition Camera recently. It might be the one you enabled though.

Boot animations aren't that difficult to change. I haven't seen anything about exit animations though.

Hi, sorry for bumping old thread. I am currently facing the same problem, tried enabling a module (app setting) in xposed and this message pops-out ("cannot read /data/xposed/modules.whitelist")

By the way I am running on android 4.3, with xposed framework version 2.2 and rooted using chainfire SuperSU 6.5...

Any help is much appreciated.

Problem was caused because of SELinux. Upgraded my Xposed Framework to 2.3 (beta) and module can now be enabled again!
