thats in smali...

com/htc/launcher/sidepanel/CatalogListGroupItem.smali

there are 2 edits to do... one for color when selected and one for not selected...

find

const v1, -0x111112

and replace it with the desired color for selected

some lines below find

const/4 v1, -0x1

and change it to desired unselected color.

dont forget to remove the /4 from const/4

so it reads const v1, xxxx

cheers
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Can also be done in layouts. It's also in the O.P

:)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
This one i mean :
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] maxpaynezm:
thank you works great and this color to black?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
That's a color in color.xml if i am not mistaken......
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] fichl:
yeah, but dont use the layout method on 5.1

it will break the option to select the whole category....

you´ll only get a dropdown in which you only can select 1 item.

with the smali method you wont break it

;)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Ah didn't know that. Doesn't affect me anyway cause i don't use blinkfeed

Hi guys, some time ago I came across a post in some thread on xda where they described how it was possible to use a hex color, probably in desc.txt to set a background for bootanimation with transparent background. I bookmarked it but accidentally deleted it. Someone of you know how to, or came across that same post? I like to try this out.

Thanks

hi, got an (intresting) issue with smali,

I'm trying to redirect this color (-0x1000000) to a color in color.xml in HTC_IME

.method public getCurrentIcon(Landroid/graphics/drawable/Drawable;)Landroid/graphics/drawable/Drawable;
.locals 4

const/high16 v1, -0x1000000

const/16 v3, 0xff

if-nez p1, :cond_1

const/4 p1, 0x0

:cond_0
:goto_0
return-object p1

:cond_1
invoke-virtual {p1}, Landroid/graphics/drawable/Drawable;->mutate()Landroid/graphics/drawable/Drawable;

sget-boolean v0, Lcom/htc/sense/ime/NonAndroidSDK$HtcThemeUtilForService;->sUseDefaultColor:Z

if-eqz v0, :cond_2

sget-object v0, Landroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;->SRC_ATOP:Landroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;

invoke-virtual {p1, v1, v0}, Landroid/graphics/drawable/Drawable;->setColorFilter(ILandroid/graphics/PorterDuff$Mode;)V

# getter for: Lcom/htc/sense/ime/ezsip/Keyboard;->mIconAlpha:I
invoke-static {}, Lcom/htc/sense/ime/ezsip/Keyboard;->access$800()I

move-result v0

invoke-virtual {p1, v0}, Landroid/graphics/drawable/Drawable;->setAlpha(I)V

Though i can change the color of the icons by changing it to an other color, for example like this:

const v1, -0x2FCECF

I want to redirect it to ime_icon_color in color.xml and i do it like this:

const v1, 0x7f0c00b7

it will read it as a blue color..

Any idea how to make it read from color.xml? It probably needs getColor, but don't know how to implement correctly..

Thanks

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ineedone:
integers.xml

<integer name="config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum">0</integer>
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] tonyafc:
Does that require me to decompile and recompile? I asked as im not confident enough yet to do that was hoping someone had already moded theres and could share
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ineedone:
In that case you're in the wrong thread, this is the how to modding thread. Best ask in the thread of the rom or theme you use, as framework might be different for the one you use
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] tonyafc:
What you sent previously isit just a matter of editing the default xml?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] ineedone:
Nope, it's in framework-res.apk. you need to decompile resources.arsc to access the integers.xml

how to increase the icon size in sense 7 launcher?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Haven't done much lately. But in general icon sizes are in the values folder - dimension xml file. Not sure which apk you need at this moment (can't check on my phone) but my best guess is it's in either one of these 3 ........

- framework-res.apk

- prism.apk

- systemUI.apk

Feel free to correct me on this matter

:)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Chandresh204:
sorry, forgot to mention that i am using the ported SenseHome launcher on moto G. it was ported by xda member xpirt. It is a single apk file. I asked him, he told me to consult the HTC themers/members in the HTC thread. I had simply decompiled the sensehome apk and went to values/dimens.xml and i find 3 values relating to icon size:

first<dimen name="theme_maker_app_icon_size">48.0dip</dimen>

second:<dimen name="app_icon_size">70.0dip</dimen>

third:<dimen name="app_icon_size_without_shadow">60.0dip</dimen>

so editing this three values will increase the icon size?

what else do i need to edit?

and what range of values can i input above?

sorry if the questions asked are naive/stupid but i am new to all this and am learning.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
Best way is to create a nandroid backup, then change the dimensions and push the modded apk, reboot and check what's changed. If it brings you in trouble you roll back to the nandroid backup.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Chandresh204:
[MENTION=4252827]Mr Hofs[/MENTION] i changed the values for the three attributes pertaining to app_icon_size, recompiled the apk-->signed the apk-->zip aligned it.... but when i install the apk file, the icon size in the launcher does not change.. :( what am i doing wrong??? and one more thing i haven't installed framework-res.apk of htc sense 7..... is this causing the problem?

EDIT: ok so it appears that i hadn't applied the edit in all "Values" folders hence the increase in size not visible after installing... after i changed the icon size dimension in all values folders it works! thanks a lot for your help :)
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Chandresh204:
i increased the icon size but I'm facing a new problem, there is text clipping in the drawer and icon clipping in the doc due to the increased icon size. What values should i edit to fix these?

see attachment bellow:
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Mr Hofs:
It all hangs together mate. Maybe when you change text sizes you face another problem after that again. Not sure .......

But you can try. Change text sizes and navbar size maybe it helps
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Chandresh204:
Hello, i was able to adjust the clipping in the app drawer by increasing the line spacing.

but i am unable to remove the icon clipping in the doc. it seems the navbar height does not decrease below a certain value set by lollipop. so is it possible to move the doc up or increase the doc height.

with doc i mean the icons present just above the navbar.

here's the screenshot:

and what value do i need to edit to remove text clipping from folder?

i'm attaching the dimens.xml for the corresponding edit below

No we have abandoned this thread ask another master besides us to help you!!! Good luck finding one that's still on the m9 we always have the new device some of us have even switched to another device besides HTC. I am the only one that still on HTC. Though I haven't heard from fisha in many years he was absolutely the only one that ever compared to me in anyway!! That is the truth so if you have questions update your damn phone don't ask us...ask mfers that are losers and have no money!!!! He may be in jail given his absolute no contact with anyone or anything so remember that.. I'm about to get locked up too lol so keep calm well show up again someday... One love kids

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Pneuma1985:
If I remember correctly me and fisha partnered up for that one we used an empty string value in framework-res.apk and replaced the smali id with that value and bang it was gone.

That's the Blinkfeed background found in color.xml. You can either make it match your theme or give it an off color to accent your borders. Making it transparent won't help. I think you found that out by now.

[One (M8) Accessories] hgoldner:
So I was experimenting this evening and found that the M8 can't utilize my Meenova card reader (therefore, I wonder whether it will work with the equivalent Leaf product I saw announced recently).

However, when I pulled my USB OTG cable out, it read a USB drive just fine. That's a pleasant surprise, especially because it apparently does not require the Nexus Media importer (like my Nexus 7 FHD does) to access files on an external USB device.

I would assume, and I haven't tried this yet, that it would also read a hard drive (provided it was powered externally).
[One (M8) Accessories] houstie:
How was the SD card in the meenova formatted?
[One (M8) Accessories] hgoldner:
FAT32. It was a Sandisk 64g that used to run inside my Rezound and had worked with my Nexus 7 FHD via the Meenova previously.
[One (M8) Accessories] Explore The Universe:
Well I think it is because the M8 already have a SD slot and it can't adress the second.
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
Mine sees my meenova just fine with a sandisk 64, the red and gray ultra formatted FAT32. Try pulling the thing out slightly to where the hooks keep it from falling out and wait awhile, the first time it took a long time to mount but once it does it works fine afterwards.

It doesn't matter if a device has an external SD card, those are mounted as sdcard1 and so forth, OTG devices get mounted as usbdisk1 and on.

Lemme clarify that the phone can READ files from the meenova but can not write without modifying permissions.xml to reverse the 4.4 external media write protection.
[One (M8) Accessories] levilib:
that wouldn't have anything to do, I have no problems on my S3/S4 doing that
[One (M8) Accessories] chp:
Unfortunately, I think it is the Meenova that is incompatible with the m8. I have an AT&T-branded m8, stock, and when the Meenova is plugged in, Android is cycles back and forth between mounting and unmounting it.

I take the microSD out of the Meenova and plug it into a USB reader in a USB-OTG cable and the m8 mounts it just fine.

I'm going to contact Meenova and see if they have any ideas.
[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
I have both the Meenova and an OTG cable. I have tried multiple cards that work in my PC and tablet. None will mount on my M8. It just keeps flashing "Safe to Remove" and "Device Removed Unexpectedly" over and over.
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
Mine did the same thing of mounting/umounting also, until i pulled on it slightly because i thought the contacts were not making a proper connection. Pulled it slightly back to where the hooks caught it and it worked ok after. Probably not a great solution but just reporting that it does work with my meenova.

Just looked on the meenova site and they explicitly point out that HTC One M8 (2014) is not supported. It would have been nice to get an idea if they plan to fix this or produce a new model that will support our phones :( For the time being I am using a USB OTG cable to connect to a Kingston USB3, it works but is bulky an inconvenient.

Really need the meenova to work so I can get around the no writing to ext sdcard from Kit Kat 4.4.

Are you serious guys? Meenova doesn't work on your m8? Mine works fine. I tested it with a data transfer from meenova to internal sd card (2 gb file) worked good. Only thing is i can't use the meenova and headphone at the same time. Not enough space to put the headphone plug in with meenova inserted.

Even the new meenova has a disclaimer saying it doesn't work with the m8. Wtf! I can't get my old meenova to work no matter how much I mess with it.
[One (M8) Accessories] hgoldner:
That's not what I read on the Meenova site. HTC: One 2013/2014 (M7, M8) listed as compatible for the SECOND version, not the first. The first iteration definitely does NOT work with the M8, although as I stated in the OP, other OTG USB products do routinely. I mostly don't use the Meenova anymore since other vendors came out with dual usb drives with both micro and standard ports.

UPDATE: I have exchanged emails with the company. They confirmed that the second generation adapters work with the One M8.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
So does anyone know how to get a quick way to unmount OTG drives? All I can find is going to Settings/storage/unmount OTG at the bottom.

Do I need to unmount? I've had bad not-unmounting-sdcard experiences...so I make sure to do it.

My galaxy note has a notification that pops up saying it's in OTG mode when I plug something in, but it stays, and says "press to unmount", which is nice and super convinient...could Tasker or Trigger give me something like that?
[One (M8) Accessories] gazzacbr:
Yes, that is annoying. It would be a nice short app for some kind programmer to write, hint (but not me)

I use ADW Launcher and created a desktop custom shortcut to 'Storage Settings' so now is just one click then Unmount OTG.

Maybe other launchers have this facility.

EDIT: Oh, and it doesnt work with my USB 3 sticks. Just says 'Damaged USB storage'

And it doesnt read ntfs but surprisingly it doesnt read an ext4 flash stick.

So its just USB 2 and fat32 then?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhilp:
Hi, I'm having trouble booting my LG Optimus G into recovery mode. I've rooted the phone and installed ClockworkMod recovery. When I try to boot into recovery, either from the ROMmanager app or by holding Volume Up and Power, it comes up with the LG logo and gives this error: Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify. It just stays like that until I press and hold the power button again until the phone shuts off entirely. Then I'm able to boot into the stock operating system and the phone works fine, but I can never get it to boot into recovery.

The error I mentioned above seems to be a well documented error on the internet, but it seems like other people that are having the trouble are completely bricking their phones. Mine is able to come out of it. All the solutions I'm finding pertain to a phone that's completely bricked and involve taking the phone back to stock. My phone works fine with the stock ROM, but I'd like to play with some custom ROM's.

Any ideas? Thanks!
