[MOD] Add Extra Keys To Your Nav Bar In Android O style - Nexus 6 General

This should be in the development section but I don't have the required amount of posts so I put it here, no worries...
Disclaimer
Your phone your responsability!!!
Please make sure you read everything, especially the "IMPORTANT" chapter, I won't reply to question(s) whose answer(s) is/are here!!!
I made a SystemUI navigation bar mod for me and I thought that some people may like it so I share it here with you guys.
It enables you to add extra keys (left/right/up/down arrows for text correction or navigation on pages, volume up/down, music panel) directly from the navbar tuner settings.
I have seen on XDA news that you can achieve the same result by editing the settings_secure file but it's not very practical because every time you have to reboot before the new key appears.
REQUIREMENTS
A Nexus 6 (obviously):cyclops:
TWRP
Android Nougat 7.0
IT WON'T WORK ON 7.1!!!
FOR 7.1 SEE BELOW.
IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT SKIP!!!
I made this mod for my ROM that I built from source based on Pure Nexus 7.0, so I can't guarantee that it'll work on a different ROM brand.
If you come from another ROM than Pure Nexus feel free to try and report here, I made a rescue zip to get you back to your original configuration in case it doesn't work so you don't need to worry.
But back up anyway, just in case.
Now we may a problem, that is application signature.
As said above I'm on a home built ROM, and I have signed it with my signature, signature that is unique to my ROM and that will prevent installations on a different ROM.
What I did to have it to work for you guys is that I signed the apps that I put here with the Pure Nexus 7.0 original signature, that should be OK if you are on Pure Nexus 7.0.
If you are on a different ROM, or if you are on Pure Nexus 7.0 but for some reasons it doesn't work, you'll have to do as follows:
- extract your SystemUI.apk in /system/priv-app and put it on your internal storage or computer,
- open it with 7zip or something similar,
- inside you'll see a META-INF folder and AndroidMAnifest.xml, extract them,
- open my modded SystemUI,
- delete the META-INF folder and AndroidMAnifest.xml inside of it and replace them with the ones you extracted from your SystemUI,
- close everything,
- zipalign my modded SystemUI (optional but better for optimization, zipaligning has been lost since the signature has been replaced),
- now my SystemUI has your signature so you can flash the zip.
If it still doesn't work then you're out of luck, to have it to work would mean to have your ROM's source and do the edits there but sorry, I won't do it because it's too much work (downloading 20 GBs of data for the source, compiling a whole ROM etc...).
In that case upload your SystemUI.apk and your framework-res.apk here and I'll try to do it, but no guarantees...
7.1
Why am I not on 7.1?
I tried it but there wasn't any interesting new features for me so there was no point to switch to it and go again through the lenghty process of downloading the source, compiling it, editing/theming/etc-ing all the apps, no, I sticked to my good old 7.0.
INSTALLATION
There are 3 zips.
1 - The green theme is the one I use on my phone but it may look weird on yours since the green theming needs other apps to be complete. Give it a try though, it looks nice to my opinion!
Tell me if you want the full green theme, I'll upload here the other files.
2 - The stock theme is the regular Nougat white theme.
3 - A rescue zip to get back to your original SystemUI in case something goes wrong.
Backup your ROM (probably not needed, but just in case)
Choose which flashable zip you want, put it on your phone, flash it in recovery, reboot.
You may have to resize the keys if you want to have many of them on the nav bar, as for me I have 9, check the below screenshot to see what's the ideal size to have all of them to fit.
OTHER KEYS
If you want to try other keys do as follows:
- find the key code number for key you want to add, here are some examples (not tested so not sure they all work):
CALL = 5
ENDCALL = 6
DPAD_CENTER = 23
CAMERA = 27
* Used to launch a browser application:
EXPLORER = 64
* Used to launch a mail application:
ENVELOPE = 65
NOTIFICATION = 83
SEARCH
MEDIA_REWIND = 89
MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD = 90
MUTE = 91
PAGE_UP = 92
PAGE_DOWN = 93
MEDIA_RECORD = 130
CONTACTS = 207
CALENDAR = 208
MUSIC = 209
CALCULATOR = 210
CUT = 277
COPY = 278
PASTE = 279
- open settings_secure (it's in /data/system/users/0),
- edit the sysui_nav_bar field, here's an example if you want to add a camera icon:
key(27:file:///storage/emulated/0/camera.png)
27 is the key code for the camera, camera.png is a camera icon that you'll have to put on your internal storage,
- reboot,
- please report here if it works or not.
The new keys can be used in conjunction with tasker (see XDA news for the related tutorials) to only appear when certain apps are opened but if you want I can add them to the list of available keys in the nav bar tuner, let me know.
TO DO (NO ETA)
I'd like to add a custom key to launch the applications drawer but I didn't look into it yet and I don't know if I'll manage to do it anytime soon, I'm pretty busy at the moment.
That's all, enjoy!!!:good:

reserved, in case...

you can do the same with last stock 7.1.1 firmware without having to root, or install twrp or unlock the bootloader or whatever...
you just have yo use this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
it needs a special permission but changes take effect immediately, no need to reboot
my settings for exemple :
left button switches off the screen and right button launches Google app.

Yeah well you know, there are different kind of people on this forum.
Some of them don't want to bother and understand how things work so they rely on apps to do customizations, theming etc. (and sometimes complain that their phone becomes unresponsive, lags and stuff, yep, too many apps), you seem to be in that category.
Other people don't understand how things work but they are willy to learn and they may be interested by this mod because they will learn something in the process. It's for them that I took the time to make the zips, register on XDA, write the OP and upload the files, and that I offered to try to make it work on 7.1.
That said today I added the assist key in the nav bar, but since nobody seems to be interested I won't waste time to upload the new apps here.
Farewell guys!!!!

take it easy man !
I like to know how things work, I understand what I'm doing and I'm not complaining about anything !
My Nexus 6 runs like a charm.
I wasn't saying that your post isn't interesting but just giving the information that there's a simplest way to personalise nav bar that works with stock 7.1.1 firmware.

======================
Additional Work
======================
Missing Available Tabs:
===============
If there are any missing tabs from the available tabs list, then send me the details so I can generate a resource file.
Extra Features (To Do):
==========
At some point I will update the app to read the configuration keys (if available) and generate the file using the order defined there (plus re-generate the keys to keep disabled tabs disabled).
Graphics:
======
If anyone is interested, I can add icons to help determine the states of the tabs...just need some graphics!
Possible State Icons for tabs:
Tab Installed & Present - in the tab control file & on the device (Installed Fine)
Tab Not Installed & Present - not in the tab control file but on the device (i.e. Available to add)
Tab Installed & Not Present - in the tab control file but not on the device (!Warning State! Sense will probably fail to run)
Tab Not Installed & Not Present - not in the tab control file or in on the device
Also the icon could indicate if the source is from XML file or the tab control file (only applies to the installed ones - not installed ones will always be xml).
====================
User Manual
====================
I'll try to update this with new information as and when I get time, hopefully the app isn't too difficult to understand.
Control Sense Page:
============
This page controls sense...
[Start Sense]:
If sense is not selected in the Today Plugin, this adds and triggers sense to start.
[Stop Sense]:
If sense is running, or set in the Today Plugin to run, this will remove it and trigger it to close.
[Restart Sense]:
This will cause sense to restart (by removing and adding it from the Today Plugin).
Note: Any changes to your Tab Control File (26948339_manila) are ignored.
[Reset Sense]:
The same as [Restart Sense], but will also cause it to re-build by removing the ManilaFull.xml file.
Note: If you have changed your Tab Control File (26948339_manila) any changes will be re-built in this process.
[Full Reset Sense]:
The same as [Reset Sense], but will also delete the configuration registry keys (this is required when you add/remove tabs for them to initialise correctly and for them to show up in the Tab Re-arrange page within the Sense Settings Tab).
Note: Any tabs disabled via the Sense Settings Tab will be re-enabled!
[Soft Reset]:
This simply restarts your device, quite often sense will not re-start correctly without at least one reset.
Tab Control File [Update]:
If you have generated a new Tab Control File (26948339_manila), this option will replace your existing file (creating a timestamped backup within the SenseUtil folder) and [Full Reset Sense].
Tabs (Loaded) Page:
============
On start up, this page shows the contents of the Tab Control File (26948339_manila).
[Build]:
Once you have made adjustments to the list, you can build a new file (which you can then view using a suitable text editor and check if you wish).
Tab Source [#]:
This toggles the source of the tab data:
Default=Your original Tab Control File
File=The loaded xml resource file
Note:
If the tab is not available (the xml file does not exist) then the source will not change. Also if you delete and re-add a tab which was in your tab control file, it will not be able to be set back to Default - you will need to Reload the data fresh.
Remove [-]:
Removes the tab, the tab will no longer be installed.
Shift Up [^] and Shift Down [v]:
Allows you to adjust the default positions of the tabs.
Tabs (Available) Page:
============
This page will show you the tab's which are available (loaded from the Resource Folder xml files).
When you select an item, you will be able to see if the tab's keyfile is Present On Device or not, this provides an indication of if the files required for the tab are on the device
Note: Only the keyfile is checked - there will be additional files required for the tab/sense to function.
Various details about the tab are also available, if a custom tab links to the tab's development and release pages should be provided.
Add Tab [+]:
Allows you to add a tab to your Tab Control File, if the tab is not detected as Present On Device you will be warned that Sense probably will not start (you will need to install the correct tabs files on your device).
Add All [+All]:
This will add all the tabs which are detected as Present On Device but not currently in the Tab Control File.
Note:
Only the keyfile is checked - there will be additional files required for the tab/sense to function. So be sure you have correctly installed all the required files for a particular tab.
Settings Page:
============
Provides various options for the app.
Register to Today Softkey:
[Set Action/Contacts)]​
Only recommended if you use the app a lot as it provides an easy way to start up/control sense if it has not loaded.
[ ] Advanced View:
This allows you to see all the data which the app collects about the installed/available tabs and uses to do what it does. Useful for debugging issues with the resource files or problems with the app itself.
[Reload Files]:
This will read in your Tab Control File again, and reload all the resource Xml files (for the available tab list).
Note: Any changes you've made to your Tab Control File in the app will be discarded.
Command Line Options:
============
SenseUtil add 6B54437C_manila
- Adds the specified tab, leave other tabs as they are
SenseUtil renew
- Replaces all tab details with data from the xml files (leaves any not found in the xml files as they are)
SenseUtil addall
- Adds any tabs which are not in the tab control file but found on the device (checking for the key mode9 file), the other tabs are left as they are. New tabs are added at end before settings tab.
SenseUtil addallnew
- As above, but other tabs are replaced with details from the xml files (leaves any not found in the xml files as they are)
SenseUtil remove 6B54437C_manila
- Removes the tab if installed on the device
Shortcuts:
========
By using the shortcuts, it is assumed that SenseUtil is installed to device location:
"\Windows\SenseUtil\"
Code:
i.e For FbTab:
Add Shortcut:
54#"\Windows\SenseUtil\SenseUtil.exe" add 51B6F88A_manila
Remove Shortcut:
57#"\Windows\SenseUtil\SenseUtil.exe" remove 51B6F88A_manila
For other tabs, look up the xxxxxxxx_manila file in the resource section and replace 51B6F88A_manila (note: the 54# and 57# need not change since the length should remain the same). Or post a request and I'll upload suitable shortcuts!
Note:
1. Before using the shortcut you must install the correct files for the tab in the correct location (if files are not present the tab will not be added).
2. System may need Soft-Reset (turn off and on again) for sense to restart correctly (you will be prompted to wait and see if sense starts).
3. The order set by the settings tab will be reset by this process.
Code:
[SIZE="5"]===============================
Application Manifest - What I Planned To Achieve
===============================[/SIZE]
The plan is a simple program which reads the tab control file (file 26948339_manila) and allow you to add/remove tabs using a simple xml file to provide the correct info.
MoonNah's ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116[/url]) B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab is an excellent tool which simply re-generated the list based on the files it found within the windows dir, worked well except there was no indication that is was successful or what it had done.
I think it would be quite simple to extend the idea a little further by creating an app with a gui which then searched it's local folder for xml files. The xml files will be named to match the key mode9 filename for each tab:
i.e. RSS Tab = \windows\htc\people\RssFeed.mode9 = 6B54437C_manila
[B]So there would be a xml file called 6B54437C_manila.xml which contains the data for the tab:[/B]
[CODE]<Page Order="X" Name="rssfeed.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_RSSTITLE]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\RSSFeed.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_Preview"/>
</Page>
So the app would look for each of the xxxxxxxx_manila files in the windows directory and then allow the user to add/remove any tabs which are present on the system. This would also allow users to totally disable any "problem" tabs more effectively than via the config keys.
The xml files could also have a full list of required files (which could also be checked), perhaps a link to obtain the latest release, the app could then be released with xml files for all current tabs and any new ones so users can easily see what is available and obtain them.
The app would also handle the disabling and resetting of sense so that the changes are correctly made.
Also the app could support command line option to install a specific tab if present (not making any changes to the others), which can then be used by cab files.
Note: Software is able to set today screen softkeys for easy use, but a proper soft-key manager is available here if you decide you want to set them to something different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388281
I will have a try at making the app myself but my time is very limited so any help will be greatly appreciated. But I do think that such a program would be very useful for those who have problems editing their tab control file (file 26948339_manila).
Let me know what you think?
======================
Language Title Fixes
======================
Custom Tabs (like RSSTab/Facebook Tab display IDS value on 1st run)
This is because the translation file used for the tab titles is separate to the tab's own language file.
I will update senseUtil to allow the users to update the files using a shortcut, but until I've completed and tested that, I've included a zip file of the required files.
CAB INSTALL:
Install meltwater_LangTitleUpdate_v01.cab. - 155views
Reset sense.
MANUAL INSTALL: - 149views
Unzip and copy the files into your devices \windows\ directory, and then reset sense.
Please let me know if you have any problems or if you have updates for the contained translations (I've only updated the ones I've already got translations for).

Great idea meltwater. This will help rookie cooks like me

Well my thinking is, if we can make the "black art" a little "lighter" then it opens things up for novice users (like I was once) and brings fresh ideas and talent in.
Ok, I've created an outline project in CodePlex, I will start putting in some basic stuff and see how I get on.
Time is limited for me, so if someone else is interested in working on this too then they are welcome. The source is easy to download, and I will happily add you to the project if you wish to upload your progress directly.
Excellent idea! ThumbsUp for this
1st Release!
Ok, I've put some starting stuff in (attempting to control sense).
Need some people to test it, I think there is an issue with starting sense again although not sure what. Soft-reset and it will comes back (assuming you've not changed anything else).
Sense Control Tab:
Start Sense - Clears the entry in the Today page for HTCSense
Stop Sense - Sets the entry in the Today page for HTCSense
Restart Sense - Does Stop and then Start with a delay in the middle.
Reset Sense - Same as Restart Sense but deletes the ManilaFull.xml file (which will cause sense to re-initialise - file will be regenerated)
Full Reset Sense - Same as Reset Sense but also clears the configuration keys (required when you add/remove a tab)
Settings Tab:
Allows you to register the app with the Today page softkeys (gives easy way to get sense running again!).
CAUTION: Only set to restore the defaults on my phone (LSoftkey=Action Page RSoftkey=Contacts).
Keys effected by this setting are:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

Tester
I can try to test the app if you want.
Using Jackos ROM with Sense 2.5.20181527.0
But I flash relatively often so I'm able to test it on some different versions.
Could you point me out what I should do now (what to download, what to pay attention on)?
Hey meltwater!
I see you've gotten tired of manually updating people's Tab Control files .
Great idea - I wish I had some programming knowledge so that I could help. Unfortunately I do not. How difficult would it be to learn? What software would I need?

Excellent!
So far it only has the basic sense control buttons in, so it would be help to check that they work correctly. My testing has shown that it sometimes has issues with starting sense, but that could be down to my sense setup (it's not very stable due to CHT and my own development work...).
At the moment, I seem to also have some issues with the softkey settings (but I'm happy I can continue testing that, issues with permissions etc I think).
From the codeplex changeset package (the zip file you download) you will only need the SenseUtil.exe (later on anything in the \Debug directory as files are added).

Well more accurately... tired of some users...although having an easy way to reset sense etc will be very handy. Plus does seem to be the number 1 cause of issues.
It is a good as project as any to learn how to program on (nice mix of changing the registry, reading files and standard .net forms). You will need something like Visual Studio 2008 Professional though (you can get 90 day trials quite easy - let me know and I'll find you one).
I'm quite happy to help guide you (or anyone else interested) as far as I am able (although my code should not be taken as a prime example of how to code - it's not my trained area of programming).
OK, it's time for first impression
From the Sense control tab everything seems to be working cool. I tried each option in the first tab several times and Sense always started without problems.
I have one question though. After the first time I made a Full Reset (with the config keys) this button was inactive anymore. I recon that the keys are already deleted. But shouldn't they be redefined during Sense next start?
And I confirm the matter with softkeys. The first time I wanted to assign SenseUtil to right softkey, the "Unexpected error" appeared (right after I confirmed I was sure) and I had to kill the app. However the second time each left and right softkey worked.
But the Set (Action/Contacts) button never worked. There is always Unexpected error when I tap "OK" in the message box. Below I present the details of the error.
Code:
SenseUtil.exe
ObjectDisposedException
w System.ThrowHelper.ThrowObjectDisposedException(String objectName, ExceptionResource resource)
w Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.EnsureNotDisposed()
w Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.EnsureWriteable()
w Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.SetValue(String name, Object value, RegistryValueKind valueKind)
w SenseUtil.Settings.SetSoftKey(Int32 selkey, String text, String url, Boolean confirm)
w SenseUtil.SenseUtil.buttonRegDefaultSoftKey_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
w System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)

w System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)
w System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc(WM wm, Int32 wParam, Int32 lParam)
w Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop(IntPtr hwnMain)
w System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
w SenseUtil.Program.Main()
I hope this all helps. I would also like to learn programming, but it needs more time than I actually have...

The config keys are only generated when you rearrange the tabs, plus I only set the enable/disable of the buttons on start up of the app and following a press.
I think I've corrected the exception, but still not 100% sure about the keys (it is enough to make it work though).
Currently reading up on xml, long over-due I learned how to use it properly! Will have a new version in a few days hopefully.
Ok read through all the material I found on xml, (a good tutorial http://www.csharpkey.com/csharp/xml/Lesson01.htm) will now find out how much isn't supported in compact .net. Fortunately no real surprises, how I've been dealing with xml has been fine (although missed a few tricks). There's also some open source solutions around which I may look into (but for this it's probably fine keeping it simple, it's more suitable for the work I'm doing with RSS feeds).
Ok, new release!
Just put in loading of the xml files which contain the tab information which can be added. Should give a good idea of how things will work!
Will add options to filter the list etc.
Will read the tab control file next, then see if I can add/remove tabs!

OK, I downloaded, unpacked, loaded on my phone and.... realized that I have Sense 2.1 currently so I won't test it at once.
But just for your info, the Stop/Start sense, and Restart works even with Sense 2.1.19202517.0
Of course in the "Tabs Loaded" I have nothing, and in "Tabs Available" everywhere I see Not Present On Device. I could only test the overall behaviour of the app but this hasn't changed much. Still the "Set" button gives me the unexpected error, so I'm useless this time.
As soon as I will flash something with Sense 2.5 I will test it immediately and report back (this unfortunately won't happen until at least tomorrow).
Sorry...

If you still have 2.1 on, does it use the tab control file in the same way?
i.e. What is the 26948339_manila file like (can you post it?).
"Tabs Loaded" does nothing at the moment anyway, not reading the file yet. The update was to put in my current work in progress.
"Tabs available" I guess the filenames are different for sense 2.1, but can't see why we can't have a set of xml files for 2.1 as well if it works in a similar way. So far I've only created files for the ones on my system and a few which I've had before, I know there are a few missing to add.
Interesting the "set" button gives an exception, thought I'd covered that on my device (will look into it).
Cheers.

Here's the Tab Control file from Manila 2.1.1920.2517. It seems to contain similar information, but it contains a LOT more . . .
NOTE: This is from the VGA ported version, but I'm sure the differences are minor (if at all) . . .

I would guess that 2.1 does not have the _page.xml files, since that is what the manilafull.xml file looks like, a combination of the tab control and each of the related _page.xml files! Looks like the mode9 files don't include any of the path info beyond the HTC bit, hence why the filenames are probably different.
I'll not worry too much about it for now, interesting though.
Will upload my latest, simply because I'm calling it a night... Populated Tab(Installed) page with some data from the TabControl File - note the buttons will stay disabled (only put in for layout). Oh and the url links on the Tab(Available) aren't enabled yet either.
Update on codeplex now.
This is my WVGA control file for comparison. I haven't heared about any custom tabs for Sense 2.1 so I didn't thought you would be interested in it at alll.

sorry to say that, but i have all the time when i start the version 4851 an error popup. Please see the screenshot:

See if the version before that works (since the exception is referring to InitialiseTabLists() which hasn't changed). I added a function before InitialiseTabLists() in the latest, which loads up the sense tab control file (but doesn't seem like it is that). Anyway, will check that there is suitable checking of things to avoid the exception, still building the basics.
Hopefully next time should be able to have a go at matching the tabs found in the file with the ones loaded, then generate a new file.
Cheers

INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Make a nandroid backup before downloading this!
If something goes wrong (even though it has been tested numerous times) its always good to have a backup! I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device as a result of this!
1. Download the .zip from goo-inside.me linked below
2. Reboot into ClockworkMod
3. Install zip from SD Card -> Browse for zip you just downloaded
4. Wipe Dalvik cache (in advanced menu)
4. Reboot
5. Heres the decision point: you can either end here, or you can continue on to install the V6 ICS Supercharger script. The process is a little bit involved, so if you don't want to continue, you don't have to. I reccomend you do continue though, as the Supercharger script makes a very big difference in terms of speed! For those of you who choose not to continue, thanks for installing the SUPREME Modpack! Enjoy your Touchpad! For those that want the ICS Supercharger too, continue below!
=======================================================
6. Download the latest Supercharger script from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 to your /Download folder (the file is called "V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh.txt") (Note: the name might change if a new release of the script comes out)
7. Continuing to install the supercharger script... open up a file manager and rename the file to get rid of the .txt extension (so that it becomes a .sh extension)
8. Open up the app called Terminal Emulator on your Touchpad. If its not already installed (it should have come with CM9) then just install it from the market.
7. In the Terminal, type the following.
Code:
su
Then accept the Superuser request that opens up.
8. Then type:
Code:
sh /Download/V6_SuperCharger_for_Android-update8.sh
(Note: the name might change if a new release of the script comes out)
9. The screen will display some text as the script loads up. Be patient and wait.
10. After loading, it will come to a thing where it detects what launcher you are running. Press the enter key to confirm your launcher.
11. The script will do some more stuff and then ask for what type of scrolling you want. Type in "1" without quotes to confirm you want fast scrolling to make the install process quicker and then press enter.
12. It will do some more stuff and then ask about integration. Type "y" without quotes confirming you want integration and then press enter.
13. It will do some more stuff and then ask about animations. Type "y" without quotes confirming you want to disable the animation and then press enter.
14. It will do some more stuff and then ask about what type of Supercharger you want. Type "9" without quotes confirming you want the highest and most aggressive tweaks (they work the best for the Touchpad) and then press enter.
15. The script will finish up and then ask if you want to super clean your system. Type "y" without quotes and then press enter. Your system will reboot.
16. Go to this link: http://android.mimic.ca/
17. Upload your services.jar file from the /system/framework/ directory
18. Patch the file using the online patcher
19. Download the CWM file it gives you (the .zip). Don't worry about what it says about being for Nexus S.
20. Reboot to recovery and flash the CWM file it just gave you.
Congrats, you have the SUPREME Modpack and the ICS Supercharger scripts installed! Reboot normally and enjoy!
To update, just follow the same instructions as the install directions! You will also need to install every time you install a new ROM.

this sounds amazing but i am just wondering if i could edit this so it doesnt touch the dpi at all? i use 132 right now and dont want to mess with it, other then that this sounds amazing
First time posting in the touchpad forums...
I applied this mod and attempted to install 9mm but still got a "not compatible with this device" error. Unless I'm in error of some sorts I believe this game still has issues running on our devices. I at least had to give this a shot to maybe see if it would help with me getting this game installed.
Nonetheless excellent work and thank you for your contribution!

I added the build.prop text in the OP near the bottom, in a pastebin link. Copy the text from there, paste it into your build.prop, and then find the line for the density and edit that back to 132 before saving.

I don't own the game so I was not able to test it, sorry! I know this change has worked for Modern Combat 3, Asphalt, and a couple other games. I will look into making 9mm work, since this might be a problem across multiple games!
Testing now, will let you know how it goes over the next few days

Im really looking forward to a smoother scrolling experience. I love my tp immensely but I've always found the very subtle studder of scrolling to be a little displeasing when it comes to scrolling in between home screens. Does this "smooth scrolling" enhancement effect web browsing scrolling?
I am definitely going to give this a shot bud, brb with thoughts and opinions. Thanks again for your work in this community.

Plug in your device. Then Go to: settings, then click on storage on the left. then on the top right you will see 3 vertical dots, click it for more options. "USB computer connections" will be available. Select it. Then check mark the "media device (MDP)" field.
If you're using windows, ignore the driver installer error prompt. Your TP should still be visible when you go to my computer.
Push Thanks if I helped. i hope I did. >.> lol
thanks it's working now.

This really works! I was stuck using 160dpi on Alpha2 because 120 or 132dpi both were not smooth, they had a small skip or judder when transitioning screens. Bugged the heck out of me so I set it to 160dpi where it is smooooth.
I flash this build.prop this morning and 132 is now just as smooth! Not sure what else it fixed but it didn't break anything which is always a good thing. Me happy
Thanks Rohan!
Nice one
Changed the build.prop in notepad to 160dpi then saved over the top and just flashed, now I'm playing BackStab HD! Thank you very much!
Thanks for doing this but I have a question. In your OP, you listed:
disables error checking (may have side effects)
Does this affect the SD card error checking (fsck_msdos) that the TP does on boot, which shows up as Preparing SD card on notifications?
Btw, just a suggestion that it might be a good idea to put a line in your OP and recommend doing a nandroid backup or at least backing up of the original build prop file before flashing this. Thanks again.

Hi guys, sorry, just got back from school. I've answered some of your questions below.
Also, just wanted to say that tonight I will be adding a whole boatload of improvements via the init.d file. I worked on it at school today for a little bit at lunch and it should bring a whole host of speed improvements and smoother aspects to CM.
@Mr.Quipster Yes, this also affects the web pages. It increases the screen's refresh rate when scrolling, thus allowing a "smoother" experience.
@ruthienu I've changed it so that StageFright, the media streaming tool in Android 2.2+ scans meta tags, as well as HTTP filesystems for media. It doesn't hurt to have these lines in there if you aren't using media streaming. It also doesn't interfere with anything else. If you want to delete it, flash the zip and delete lines 101-104 [the ones starting with media.stagefright(...)]
@webdroidmt Nope, this disables something called CheckJNI. It basically scans the system every now and then for things such as invalid variables and arrays, bad buffers, and some UTF-8 errrors. None of the errors it catches are system-threatening and disabling it frees up a substantial amount of RAM. If you do not want this to be enabled as a feature then simply flash the zip, then edit your build.prop and delete the line "ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0". And thanks for the suggestion, added a warning

Collection of Tips & Tricks about our Xperias // Android, Rooting, General

Hi,
I'm using my xperia arc s now since 2 years and have collected some intersting tips which might be interesting for you.
- Android is Modular: You can replace any .apk from themes and apps for example on any ROM - Let's say you use a ROM called "Mod CM10" which is based on CM10, you can use themes & apps which are made for stock CM 10
Else: You use Ultimate HD but want a different statusbar theme. Simply pick a systemUI.apk theme and flash it - as long as it works on stock ics its going to work in ics based ROMs
- CMW flasahbles: You can always view them with winrar and see whats inside - change or replace content & you can still flash it. Simple as 123
- Your phone charges in CWM
- Free RAM is NOT wasted RAM - 100mb is a good value of free RAM
- You can't crossflash mods from cm10 to ics
- to disable led lights, simply edit hw_config.sh to echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_current
- OC only slightly boosts performance
- If you install CWM via xParts, it'll put a few files into /system directory - you can always select locked bl in AROMA of some ROMs & it'll do the same
- Maps, Facebook and Messenger CAN be freezed when your gaming to save nearly 100mb's of RAM
- Thousands of build.prop tweaks WON'T IMPROVE ANYTHING
- Easteregg of about phone > android version is in /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and /system/framework/framework.jar/smali/android/internal/Platlogo.smali
- To decompile .apks you always need to install framework from the device the apk is from
- use alogcat to take logcats or terminal: logcat > sdcard/log.zip
- Lockscreen popus switches are framework-res.apk
- onscreenbuttons, statusbar etc are systemui.apk
Many more cooming as soon as I rememeber lol

[XAP][18/09/2015][0.6] CustomPFD: registry editor + tweaks

Welcome to CustomPFD, a registry editor with tree view and some tweaks, for Windows Phone 8.1
This app can read Keys with any phone, but to write you have to apply the XAP to Preview For Developers (you can use my tool here)you need to interop-unlock your device and possibly a Lumia device.
Latest version: 0.6 - 17/09/2015
- support for CustomPFD Remote
- bugfix for multistring and binary values
Changelog of older versions
v 0.1
- first release
v0.2

- it's possible to create kwys and values
- better interface
- new about page

- More tweaks available:
>>> Custom accent color (ALPHA)

v 0.5 - created for Interop-unlocked devices - 25/06/2015
NOTE: this version was created to be deployed and not patched with CustomWPSystem!

Really important notes
- If you still want to patch CustomPFD to Preview For Developers with CustomWPSystem, you can download the v0.3
- Some operations such as renaming or deleting still have the same permissions of Preview For Developers, so be careful while creating new keys/values
- This app is compatible with Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile only, with ARM processors
- Other tips are available directly within the app
- If you want to enable the "Full FS Access" tweak, don't shutdown or restart your phone, unless you disable that again!

Really thanks to djamol and vcFan :highfive:
Enjoy!
Hi,
Very promising, thank you for your work.
Unfortunately, this does not work with my NL1520 (8.10.14219.341), even after applying the software reset.
Hi, thanks for feedback, could you provide me more details? Where the app "doesn't work"?
- First message: "the operation didn't complete succesfully maybe the app can't get permissions or there's some problems during extracting files. Try to soft reset you phone and retry"
- 2nd message: "Access is denied. Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)"
mhm... it seems that there's a problem with renaming the apps folde (you could try with a file manager).
Sometimes a soft-reset or remove-reinsert SD may help (I've resolved with this method)
However I've published the 0.3 of CustomWPSystem some minutes ago with a fix.
You can manually patch this app with a file manager?
I'll try tomorrow and I'll let you know.
Make sure you didn't install the swapping tool to the SD card, and that you don't have any SD-card-based apps running when you perform the swap. Either of those will prevent renaming the Apps directory.
Version 0.2 is available now
Added a lot of things

Hi,
Thanks.
I followed this (manually method) and works :good:
In version 0.2 I did not found registry tweaks useful for me. Also there was no useful tweaks from there. I can not write keys to achieve SIM contacts import/export feature and others. And can you please publish what the values has been changed to achieve each of your listed tweaks here?
Today I realized that something happens with the Preview for Developers app (changed to your registry editor). It`s just disappeared from the apps list, but marked as installed on the Store page. See more.
Version 0.3 available, as Always you can find the changelog and the download link within the first post
For the next version I will add Sim related tweaks and something related to the settings hub and action center, with Keys and value rename function.

Within the app, at accent color tweak, write R - G - B value of the color. Allowed values are from 0 to 255 (decimal for now)
Then, open settings > start and theme and you will see a new color within the color list with "olive" name

Lumia 920 error
(you can't write here...)
Is it possible to add this option to the featurelist:
Enable the setting of manual / static IP configuration
its described here:
dev.windowsphone.com/en-US/OEM/docs/Driver_Components/Wi-Fi
To facilitate Wi-Fi certification tests, you can enable a screen from the Wi-Fi settings screen that provides UI elements that allow you to specify a static IP address, gateway address, and DNS server address.
To enable the Static IP UI, set the value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WiFiConnSvc\Parameters\Config\EnableStaticIP registry entry to DWORD 1. If the entry is not set, or is set to any value other than 1, the static IP UI is not enabled. When enabled, the Wi-Fi Static IP UI button appears directly below the Advanced button in the Wi-Fi settings screen.
Interop-unlock
Is this tool ready to interop-unlock a device? If not, what's the problem?
Anything I do, it wont work
I tried doing it with the swaper and it gives the same error as the other guy, so as he did it manually, i tried it the same way.
The preview for developers app shows no Icons and wen i start it, it just shows Loading.... and nothing , just like that :/
Edit : managed it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57836056&postcount=36
