1.0.0B1. Nuff' said.

Previous updates:

04-11-2014

Currently testing A LOT of changes... Will release 1.0.0Beta1 when reasonably stable...

The first 1.x release!!! :D

Figured out why I was having trouble with apktool - it had nothing to do with apktool.

Now I'm having this issue. As that does seem to be apktool/aapt related, I will finish and prepare Graphic Porter 1.0.0B1 for release. Apktool and aapt can be manually updated and selected later on, unless this issue is resolved before then.

Still having problems with apktool - at least on my CM11 rom :(

The use of apktool would be completely optional (amoungst other new options). This will ensure that GP can be used despite having rom compatiblitity issues with apktool.

NOTE: apktool will need to be enabled to modify 9.png and xml drawables.

There are also already improvements to drawable handling, as it no longer just handles image drawables.

So currently, what's causing the delay is that neither apktool 1.5.2 or 2.0.0RC2 is compiling 9.pngs, and even thought 2.0.0RC2 does compile the xmls, they are about 2-3 times the original size (didnt check the output of 1.5.2), which tells me something is wrong - no modifications to the decompiled xmls were made.

As you've probably predicted, flashing the recompiled system apks result in a bootloop (-c option is used when building with apktool, also I've tried manually copying the META-INF and manifest xml with no change in outcome.) The apks are decompiled and recompiled without any errors or even warnings.

Any ideas? I'll gather more info when i get to my computer and post a question on this.

Ok, some more not-so-good news: I no longer have access to an uncapped internet connectio , and will have to make do with about 1GB p/m which is intended only for personal use when not connected to wifi (the uncapped line). I'm mentioning this becuase I will not be able to test different roms with this tool, not to mention only updating my own rom only once or twice p/m...

This is technologically shattering to someone who average 30-100GB p/m :eek:

Working on a big-err experimental release...... and then ironing... hopefully in just a few days depending on time available.

Oh yeah and I'm dumping xUltimate - too many issues (hopefully...) with anti-virus programs. :fingers-crossed:

05-10-2014

So after a series of troublesome 0.9.x releases, hopefully after 0.9.2 we can move on to features as apposed to bug fixes. :fingers-crossed:

02-10-2014

I honestly did not expect Graphic Porter to get noticed this quickly (if at all), but hey I'm definitely not complaining :D

Also I updated my terrible, inexplicable language use and word skipping tendencies in the OP >.>

02-10-2014

Fixed the whole 9-patch compiling issue.. download GP 0.9.1 :)

02-10-2014

Having issues with compiling .9.png's... working on it.

Also the whole adb/root/flashing issue should be resolved in the upcoming release.

01-10-2014

Updated Graphic Porter :D Bring those .9.pngs!!!

30-09-2014

Fixed it. However.. it seems after all ImageMagick does not care for the 9 -patch binary chunk :/ Busy working on providing full support for *.9.pngs...

Since Carbon rom (unofficial) isn't being built anymore for my device, I decided to use CyanogenMod for a while - I'm very happy jactivelte is officially supported by CM now :D

Anyway, after Graphic Porter booted my device into recovery (I wanted to flash the images I just colorized), it couldn't find any device that is in recovery connected to my computer :(. As it turns out, even if my CM device is in recovery, it still labels itself as a "device". So when I have time to work around this, I will upload screenshots of when the above modifications are flashed to your device, and of course, update Graphic Porter. This wasn't a problem on Carbon rom, that's why Graphic Porter used this method.
