[GUIDE][HOW-TO]Mod apps for 240dpi - Galaxy Note II General

I have been receiving hundreds of request to mod apps for different dpi. Each day I had a PM with request "Please mod this app sir,I need this app,I need this at this dpi". I can't fulfill everyone's request and I don't have time either. So,I thought to make a guide with all tools and requirements to mod those apps. I know there are many users here who have ability and skills but don't have proper knowledge to do this. Many of you are aware of my 240dpi ModPack. But there are some users who prefer 270/280dpi instead of 240/320dpi. So here's a comprihensive guide with all information regarding dpi/modding apps.
--Its an OPEN PROJECT--Everyone is welcomed here.Please share your knowledge and skills.
I want every member to share their knowledge and/or help me and others.This isn't a step-by-step guide since this is a development project where users will share their knowledge and skills. I am also learning day-by-day and still learning. So I may be weak at some point or have less knowledge regarding it.
Requirements-
1.Java Development kit-JDK
2.Android SDK
3.Winrar (or 7zip/winzip)
4.Notepad++
5.Apktool-Download or MultiTool(for noobs.Get it here)
Setup JDK
Install JDK to C:/JAVA/jdk instead of C:/Program Files/Java. After installing, click on-
Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced system settings. A System Properties dialog box will appear. Click on Advanced tab->Environment variables. Now add a new system variable. Name is JAVA_HOME and the path is ”C:\Java\jdk"(without quotes)
Decompiling/Recompiling apk and jar
Follow this guide on how to decompile/decompile apk HERE
Note- When you decompile System apps,you need to install framework-res.apk and twframework.apk from apktool using this command-
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if twframework.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After giving this command,required framework files will be installed. If you don't do this step,you will get errors(instead it won't decompile)

How to make Launcher Multi-dpi/240dpi​
Decompile SecLauncher2.apk/SecLauncher4.apk. Then go to res folder and make new folder named "values-sw359dp-hdpi". This is the first step to make the Launcher multidpi. Now go to values-sw359dp-xhdpi or values-sw359dp-xxhdpi and copy dimens.xml and integers.xml to values-sw359dp-hddpi. Open dimens.xml from "values-sw359dp-hdpi" and change these lines:
Lines 320DPI Homescreen:
<dimen name="home_cellWidth_port">68.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellHeight_port">92.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageIndicatorTop">485.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="hotseat_cellWidth">62.0dip</dimen>
Lines edited for 240DPI Homescreen:
<dimen name="home_cellWidth_port">92.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_cellHeight_port">110.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="home_pageIndicatorTop">699.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="hotseat_cellWidth">74.2dip</dimen>
Lines 320DPI For App & Widgets Drawer:
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">68.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellHeight">88.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellGapX">3.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellGapY">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menu_pageIndicatorGap">9.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menu_pageIndicatorTop">540.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_previewWidth">145.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_previewHeight">118.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_cellGapX">26.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_cellGapY">2.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingTop">13.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingBottom">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingLeft">17.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingRight">17.0dip</dimen>
Lines edited for 240DPI For App & Widgets Drawer:
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellWidth">92.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellHeight">114.4dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuAppsGrid_cellGapX">3.6dip</dimen>

<dimen name="menuWidgets_cellGapY">2.4dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingTop">15.6dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingBottom">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingLeft">20.4dip</dimen>
<dimen name="menuWidgets_pagePaddingRight">.4dip</dimen>
To Increase Grid Size we have to change some lines in integers.xml.
Now, open integers.xml from values-sw320dp-hdpi and change these lines:
Lines 320DPI Homescreen:
<integer name="home_cellCountX">5</integer>
<integer name="home_cellCountY">5</integer>
Lines 240DPI Homescreen:
<integer name="home_cellCountX">5</integer>
<integer name="home_cellCountY">6</integer>
Lines 320DPI App Drawer:
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">5</integer>
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountY">6</integer>
Lines 240DPI App Drawer:
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountX">5</integer>
<integer name="menuAppsGrid_cellCountY">6</integer>
Finally compile SecLauncher2.apk/Seclauncher4.apk

Decompile accuweather widget and navigate to res-> values-swxhdpi(don't remember folder name exactly) and open dimens.xml file. There you need to mod each dimensions accordingly.
Try this and report..

Hi Manny..... With good strength I have decided to give a try to convert Key board to 240 dpi. Im a big NOOOB in this case. So now I want to know step by step how should I convert the DN3V3.1 keyboard to 240 DPI without touching the black theme.
I have already installed all the drives as mentioned above (Hope So they are installed):silly:
Do not laugh on me. Im trying just the key board only.

Go to res folder->values->sw359xhdpi->dimens.xml
Now decompile my modded keyboard and navigate to above said directory. Compare both files side by side and enter the same figure as it is in my file. Save it. Now again do the same thing with sw359xhdpi-land. After editing recompile it again. Follow the instructions said in op on how to recompile.
Good luck

<dimen name="ged_home_cellHeight_land">74.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="ged_home_cellHeight_port">100.0dip</dimen>

anyone can help me find how to decompile this file...
or if anyone can upload the decompiled file.
Thanks!!!
I thought the HTC/Sense modifications to Android were closed source?
Perhaps it is protected or you do not have the correct permissions.
I didn't have any problems to decompile that file for the desire but for the desire HD its not working, maybe thy add some protections but i don't think so because i can decompile the framework-res.
please, anyone?
PLEASE.........
As far as I know you cant decompile you can only rebuild from original sources
Why would you want to decompile?
And there i can find the original sources?
i what to add new language.
PLEASE.........

HTC have released them, look on the htc site or seach google the sources are there somewhere
Thats all i know but other people on here should be able to help you compile
Good Luck!!
You certainly can decompile htcresources - you just need to install them also as additional framework in apktool. The easiest way is using apkmanager and decompile with 10, then draw your htcresources in the window and it will decompile.
Note - only decompile unthemed htcresources, otherwise it will not compile if there is only a single wrong patched .9.png from a theme.
What would these files be used for?

well i have installed the jdk for windows 7 64 and whenever i try and install apk it say you need the jdk i check its there in the programs unistall it reinstall still the same thing maybe using the wrong version or something but i've tried all of them i think.

+1 I have the same setup and it works fine for me
well can one of you send me the jdk your using to see if that helps. I'm about to drop kick this desktop i can't even get it to recognize my phone with odin.
i figured out the problem...i have the jdk installed and the latest java
it was my environment variables.
goto your environment varibles in the advanced system settings
scroll to path and click edit and type
C:\Program files (x86)\Java\jre8\bin;
if you're running 64bit windows, then you have to open up IE 64bit version and go to java's download site to get the 64bit specific java install package, otherwise apk manager will freak out.
(apk manager doesn't detect the difference between 32bit and 64bit. 32bit java on a 64bit windows os looks in c:\program files\java\ while java is actually installed to c:\program files (x86)\java and apk manager doesn't reference that).
Deleted, my problem solved.
if someone could tell me what to do here i would really appreciate it im running windows xp pro and it wont let me decompile apps in system/app but will let me decompile framework

Please use the search function. There are several dozen threads on XDA about how to edit apk's.
nope,the blur-res.apk is very special,just as special as file blurphone.apk.for example,using apktool. blurphone.apk need to reverse 2.apk and 3.apk ,which come from library file of framework,only by doing this,compilation and descompilation can work properly.so far,blue-res.apk make me no progress.

[Q] Problem seeing text when picking folder for an app

The app in question is comicrack free. When I try to pick a folder from the options the text where the folders shows up is empty/blank. I have no refresh but running that and changing the contrast doesn't help it. I also tried looking at the screen from my computer but it shows up exactly as it does on my device. I am unsure where to go from here. Any ideas on how to get the text to be seen?

If you don't want to fiddle with the package just write to the main dev of this apk and ask him to make these changes in the main branch.

I wish I checked here before messing with the framework-res.apk with ninjamorph. I'll give it a go once I restore my nook (relaunch stopped working).
When I try to decompile the app I get these errors. Which I assume shouldn't be popping up.

it seems that nooks 'framework' does not contain needed values.
The only option I can see is to modify framework-res-apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343484
I don't have time to risk bricking my NST right now and if you are a "noob" you also shouldn't try.
Try to find some older versions of CR and see if any of them work correctly.

I actually saw that webpage but couldn't find any resources in the nook.
Anyways seeing as this is somewhat over my head. I'm just going to copy over the mangas over to the default folder. Which is sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO for anyone following this thread. Just found out about it. Thanks for your time.

oh so that is problem when decompiling 3rd party apps.. thanks for this.

Yes. You need frameworks installed when decompiling stock apps because they are based on the stock framework. Third party apps are not made phone dependent. So they will give errors with the frameworks installed as you are forcing them to decompile with something that it doesnt need.
You have the solution?

For decompiling systemui.apk, u have to install the frameworks first. Type:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if twframework-res.apk
After that type:
Code:
apktool d systemui.apk
