One small (but still annoying) issue in Froyo's Contacts app is the disappearance of some letters in the index bar on the right:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
With some help from WinMerge, I was able to compare and track down the xml file responsible for this inside Contacts.apk. In some builds such as ZSJPD, the index bar extends onto the search bar, allowing every letter to be displayed. In most builds, the index bar starts just below the search bar, and thus is compressed even in normal view.
Fixing this requires the contents of res\layout-finger\contact_list_main.xml, found inside Contacts.apk, to be replaced by:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/listFrame" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<include android:id="@id/searchView" layout="@layout/contacts_search_bar" />
<com.nemustech.tiffany.widget.TFSweepActionListView android:id="@android:id/list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<include layout="@layout/contacts_list_empty" />
</LinearLayout>
<com.sec.android.touchwiz.widget.TwIndexScrollView android:id="@id/indexScrollView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" touchwiz:twIndexViewHandlePosition="right"
xmlns:touchwiz="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/touchwiz" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The above is taken from ZSJPD, with just one edit to the line
Code:
touchwiz:twIndexViewHandlePosition="[B]right[/B]"
In ZSJPD right was replaced with 1
The result:
Attached is an update.zip file for stock DXJPA containing the fixed apk, for installing using Rom Manager. I've not tested it on other Froyo builds so I'm not sure if it is fully compatible with XXJPO etc.
If it's not, hope the above info would allow others to fix this for these other firmware

I've tested it on XXJPO and it's working!
EDIT:
I think its not a bug, it's a useful feature zu hide "parts" if its to long...
If i open the softkeyboard, then i become "A-GH-NO-UV-Z" visible and its not a bug... its with system and let you give simply greater jump positions.
The same is visible in the full view. Your fix is scaling the quickjump-bar over the searchfield.
It works on Doc's Froyo V9 BUJP8. It clips over the search contacts box but doesn't effect it in anyway. Pretty much the same effect as the pictures you've posted. Nice work.
Can the list of letters not be editied to "not" include any letters not used? for instance I have no contacts beginning with "X" but its listed and I have 6 beginning with "W" which isnt?
thx for it, works under froyo.
I included it in my sgs tools app.
Btw: app is not translated into german..

That's a really conclusive idea.....
Code:
<string name="twstr_indexlist">\#ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</string>
I guess you could just remove X
thanks man. it works great on XXJPA. i was annoyed too by the missing letters.

Come on guys you know what I mean, Can it be done automatically, If I add a contact called Xavier I would have to re edit the list. Can it not be auto generated so that only letters in your contact list are present, and if you add new ones it auto updates it?
e apk doesnt work on mine..
trying to install on dxjpa
could someone tell me how could i go about editing the contacts apk myself?
tried the apk manager, but cant seem to compile it back.. m i missing someting??
Thanks! Those hidden letters were really annoying!
Maybe another point: Is it possible to hide the search-bar in contacts? I prefer scrolling down the and so I don't really need it.
Would be great!
Work half way here. Contacts apk became english, first was italian, and if you try to slide on the left after selecting a letter it don't search in the subcategory. Ex: wanna search for john select j then slide on the left and select O. It go on O label. Sry for bad english

Great work, I too found the missing letters an anomaly... You mod has fixed it perfectly!
Know of anyone who has fixed the double capital bug when tap-typing with Swype Froyo?

Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]=============Lockscreen Note==================
Once you have my theme, no needs to follow my Tuto as i already coded the xml for the lockscreen
You only need a picture 480 x 800
Open my zip file theme with 7zip and drag the picture in :

Then go back and 7zip will ask you to apply the changes on the apk.
All done, enjoy it!

Enjoy it
Thank you
I was wanted to know this tip.
I'll be make my theme apply this tip.
tried to change picture on LeeDroid 3.0.2 and stuck on splash screen
This is cool, but will it have to be changed every time you change your wallpaper? And on a completely unrelated note, do you have a Lion cub as a pet? (looking at the lock screen and one of your home screens)

If you are stuck on splash screen, must be something wrong during the compilation of the apk _ did you tried to modify *.png9 files as well ?

Unfortunately, until some dev with free time wants to launch an app' for that, yes, we will need to changed the background _ only the background as the setup @drawable/whatever you named your picture.png doesnt change.

you could always press "thanks"
and can "rate thread" however many stars you think it deserves.
at the top of the thread by the title on the right is a spot to rate the thread, in the brown bar.
These 30 second things would probably be better served and create less clutter if they were all in one thread.
its just 2 things, that would be better "found" by "searching" better this way.

i prefer to edit the wifi_access_points.xml and wifi_ap_settings.xml ，it's better way
if you are going to tease... you might as well finish the job.. but hey we are all here for learning..
so I see at Settings.apk\res\xml the 2 files you mentioned
wifi_access_points.xml and wifi_ap_settings.xml
opened in editor..
hmm what do we have...
in wifi_ap_settings.xml i see
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@xml/wifi_ap_message" />
and xml/wifi_ap_message.xml , points to '@string/wifi_ap_message' which was the line I edited .. so chagne to what? @null ??
next file.. wifi access points?? dont see what you would change there....
think you may have meant 'tether_prefs.xml'
it also has the line
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@xml/wifi_ap_message" />
so once again... change to what? @null ??
I still prefer my method as it allows Customization .... oohh....
but thank you for making me look into that!

Hello everyone!
In this tutorial i will show you how to enable the hidden cost saving feature on your Xperia device!
What does this features?
It's actually an embed feature of the Xperia conversations.apk but it's hidden by default, at least on some versions of roms (conversations.apk extracted from Global & Greek FTF files have this option enabled by default).
What does, is to convert certain letters. This way, when you writing for example a message in greek or in polish, instead of having 70 characters per message, you will have 160, so you will not have to spend extra money.
Pretty cool, nah?

Let's see now how to make it:
Requirements:
You must know how to decompile/compile and sign and apk.
Notepad++
The Conversations apk (deoxeded).
Procedure:
1. Decompile the Conversations.apk
2. Navigate to res/ values/ bools.xml and open the file using Notepad++
3. As you can see the following values are set to false by default.
<bool name="character_conversion">false</bool>
<bool name="character_conversion_visibility">false</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Set them to true
<bool name="character_conversion">true</bool>
<bool name="character_conversion_visibility">true</bool>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. Now save the file and exit.
5. Next thing to do is navigate to res/ xml / default_settings.xml ; Open the file using Notepad++
6. As you can see the following values are set to false by default.
<setting key="character-conversion" runtime="true">false</setting>
<setting key="character-conversion-visibility" runtime="false">false</setting>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Set them to true
<setting key="character-conversion" runtime="true">true</setting>
<setting key="character-conversion-visibility" runtime="false">true</setting>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. Now save the file and exit.
8. Recompile your apk
9. Sign the apk
10. Enjoy!
Gonna use it in my rom
Thanks
great!
but i think it is only useful for letter-based language, not for the others like Chinese...
cuz when it over 70l it still turn to 2 pieces of sms...
Congrats
You are on portal now
can i use it for arabic language???
I don't use Sony's messaging app, but I would like to see an xposed module for this
Nice...
I tried like this:
From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39147343&postcount=1
Went to:
/Data/Data/com.sonyerricsson.conversations/shared_prefs
Edit the file:
com.sonyericsson.conversations_preferences.xml
Changed the
<boolean name="semc_pref_key_character_conversation" value="false" to "true"
Until know never show the warning and the number of SMS that i have wrote and sent...
Works in the same, right?
@DaRk-L0rD
Is in bool.xml of Conversations.apk the option to disable by default "Delivery Report"?

If someone doesn't want to play with apktool, there is simpler way:
Go to /data/data/com.sonyerricsson.conversations/shared_prefs/com.sonyerricsson.conversations_preferences.xml
At the end of that file add the following line, so it should look like this:
Code:
<boolean name="character-conversion-visibility" value="true" />
</map>
And now character conversion option appears in the settings.
Works for me....
Sorry to write it but why for God's sake someone have to decompile conversations.apk to do so? All you have to do is turn off spell-check in Language and Input settings, then use only ASCII characters (english alphabet) when typing the message. That way you won't be limited to use only 70 characters, I'm doing it this way myself.
@kontini yes mate, it's there
@Lc1975 works this way too but do you have the option in the Settings this way?
@eLGi what if someone wants to have both? Also who builds rom maybe just wants to add this feature too!
No option in the settings....
For me a (real newbie) what i did was more simple...
Would it be the same to extract the conversations.apk from a Global or Greek FTF files and replace with it the current conversation.apk file ?
removed
make it withe overlay
hi
i extract a rom from z1 and where's i found com.sonyericsson.conversations-res.apk in /system/vendor/overlay and moded it like activate all option
it's attached you copy it to /system/vendor/overlay and you change permission to rw-r-r-- and reboot il wil work perfectly it work for 4.3 and 4.4

Stop quoting the whole op!
Its so annoying
Cant port to 4.1.2, it does not support multiusers!
4.2 has multiusers but hidded in xperia so we can only enable it
Any way of having an option to rename the users?

Try with this one, It works for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639400
I'm having a little problem here with my settings.apk. There is a phantom Icon below Users. If i click it settings force closes. I've already modified my settings.apk with a few lines that enable smart call handling from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667184
What can be wrong? This is my framework and my settings.apk MY phone is a C6903 running the 136 build number, deodexed with superuser mod
I made it with Advanced APK Tool and Notepad++ and here is the flashable zip with the framework AND settings: https://www.mediafire.com/?kx58zcqexwnmse5
Oh! and Simple Home app force closes too, installed on system o as a regular app it doesnt work
Thanks.

As multiuser is only for tablets so Mobile UI is not designed for Phones. Rotate your Device While Switching User's For Clear date in Statusbar.
Layout is overlapping it but there is no any other place to place multiuser Chnager on lockscreen.

gonna try this..
just a question sir, if Im using a lower DPI in my Z right nwo, is there a possibility that the icons will overlap the time and date in the lockscreen? thanks btw
thanks.this guide missing some code lines, please add these.
i dont why every times i created new user my phone auto reboot.
And i can't choose another user not owner to login
Modified mine Now it doesn't cover up the widget area of the lockscreen. Also moved the remove widget drop spot from top to bottom so I could still delete the lockscreen widgets
Well written mate!! Congrats!!!

just move the lines for settings button and clear button into the same layout as the header
for example in my layout for the header I have the clear button and brightness slider and its icon within the header - but please dont just copy and paste what I have written in the code below as it will not work as you dont have the smali and the references - but you can see in the bit I have marked in red the clear button code for my status bar
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/carrier_label_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarJellyHeaderView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
[COLOR="Red"] <TextView android:textSize="14.0sp" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="1.0dip" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" style="StatusBar.ClearButton" />[/COLOR]
<include layout="@layout/qp_brightness" />

will have something to do with the string most likely - either remove the line for the @ string part for your line for the clear button or in strings.xml make the entry blank - play around with it
or could be styles.xml

you can try removing the @ string part from the line in status_bar_expanded.xml
so you remove
Code:
android:text= [user=936943]@string[/user]/status_bar_clear_all_button"
or it might be something in styles.xml
you can try guide 3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953934
this is something you will need to play around with and keep testing until you find the right area
