Instead of building my own custom telephony application by making use of the TelephonyManager class, is it possible to hack or modify that built-in native phone application to make it do what I want?
You cannot modify another app from your app.

WPH Tweaks was originally developed by @Jaxbot for Windows Phone 7.
WPH Tweaks allows you to change various settings in your phone's registry that you would usually change with a registry editor. Some of these settings never meant to be changed so they may not have the desired effect. We take no responsibility of the possible damage caused to your device.
WPH Tweaks for Windows Phone 8 is currently very limited, but the main features are adding Google to search providers, and adding a 'Never'-timeout option in lock screen settings. There are currently some other tweaks that do not work well so do not expect everything to work.
The project is open source and located in GitHub. The experimental code can be found here and the stable code can be found here.
Special thanks to @GoodDayToDie ! This project uses his native access libraries and full capability unlock.
If you really want to try out this still experimental project you can find links below.

Great job Jesse!
This is definitely needed on WP8!

Well I listed them already As I said, this is still very experimental. I think the only unique feature is adding Google to search providers at the moment.
Cool stuff! Good to see more homebrew coming out. Let me know if you need a hand finding any tweaks.

I've been using this thread by @megasounds as a reference, but sadly most of the possible tweaks are not writable.

Yeah I missed that, I read it again and re-worded the post (guess you didn't see the edited version ). Anyways I'm assuming the app is device independent (if we had a interop unlock on other devices) it would technically work on other devices right?
Yeah, it uses the samsung diagnostic component for automatic restarts, but that's not essential.
Is there a tweak to set the search key to open a google page instead of Bing?

Can this be re-uploaded? I can't seem to be able to download it. It keeps telling me Jenkins is restarting. Maybe attach it here or Dropbox, mediafire or support ms with skydrive Or someone could PM me the file?

Sorry, forgot to actually restart it. Should work now. When I get some stable builds I will upload the releases here at XDA, but until then I'll keep them in the CI.
Maybe you could implement a method to change the date format?
The registry key is
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
"sShortDate"="dd-MMM-yy"
dd-MMM-yy = 17-Oct-13
Is it possible to edit that key?

yeah but what I want to change is the short date. dd-MMM-yy was available in WP7 but removed in WP8. Using a registry editor, I'm unable to edit that key. It claims it is successful but when I use GoodDayToDie's native access webserver, I find that it isn't changed.

Of course it's for Samsung only (at now) ?

Can we have in next release ability to change PhoneManufacturer? Thanks
You can add this:
Increase or decrease duration of vibration of touch buttons:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Touch\Buttons]
"Duration"="{value in miliseconds in dword}"
Increase or decrease intensity of touch buttons:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Touch\Buttons]
"Intensity"="{value of intended intensity in dword}"
Enable or Disable haptic feedback
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Touch\Buttons]
"Vibrate"="{1 to enable, 0 to disable}"
Fantastic tool

Changing PhoneManufacturer is unstable. In WP7, if you change it 3-4 times it breaks the app DRM, you cannot run any apps anymore without a hard reset. This has not been tested yet in WP8 but we assume it is the same
Implemented Notification Sound changer as per @megasounds request.
I have fair number of years of programming behind me. But I haven't tried anything for Android, as I dislike Java.
But I want to try. I want to make something that works at low level, say, like a firewall. It acts as a filter between two communicating parties/devices.
To write anything like that, can someone suggest which is the best approach - code in Java (if it can perform such a feast) or code driver in C?
Thanks much!

Nayan

The interesting thing in such low level projects is the entry point: So for a firewall you only have to acces iptables because android has linux kernel. So no C-part, no drivers, only plain java. See AFWall, it's an open source firewall.

Excellent! I would certainly study AFWall. Thanks for the reference.
But actually, my quest doesn't stop here. I am exploring Android, and Google's restriction of "UI to be built only via Java". (I am not interested in scripting and widgets for now, unless they are absolutely needed.)
I want to know the answers for same question (driver or app) for the following:
* Network Filter [EmptinessFiller, you already answered this as Java]
* Disk (SD cards) (for many various purposes) - file system should not block the intention, hopefully.
* USB filter
* SMS filter
I am still thinking of other categories. Will write more later.
Please suggest and refer. Thanks again!
General answer: Your app is always built in java. (It's UI components, it's LifeCycle (Activity, Service, Broadcastreceiver))
You may include native code, but that does not have more possibilities. It's only a little bit quicker.
Forgotten: If you have root, you may want to change some binaries, because you can't change things in an app. There you need native code of course.

Shame, isn't it? Too much power in Java's hand

My point exactly! Low level stuff is best written in native code.
But right now, I am learning how to.

Thanks for the link. Good stuff, but won't help in my targets... unless an example is seen.
So, I'm still a beginner at making android apps but, i dont understand .aidl files. To what i can comprehend aidl files help your apps to talk to other apps using a common framework
It allows you to define the programming interface that both the client and service agree upon in order to communicate with each other using interprocess communication (IPC)

but isnt this the same thing as intent?
An Intent provides a facility for performing late runtime binding between the code in different applications.

Hello.
Is it possible to compile and run java window application on my Tablet? Google does not give clear answer. Sometimes I need to improve my programs a little in travel.
I'd be grateful for answers.

You can use StandOut library to make windowed app in ease, you can get it here https://www.google.com.eg/url?sa=t&...=7X6MV0eLXpgZU_u3VWCLQw&bvm=bv.82001339,d.d24
Thank you. And which app should I use? Now I'm using AIDE, But I'm not sure if it supports adding extra library.

Hi guys,
I'm currently working on an app for a company that asked me to make it modular.
Actually the app contains different features and the company would like to be able to compile the differents flavors of the App via Gradle.
If I understood correctly the current flavor solution offered in Android Studio doesn't fit my needs as if I have like 5 differents modules I'd have to make a flavor for : feature 1, feature 1 + 2, feature 1 + 2 + 3, feature 1 + 2 + 3 + 4, feature 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5, feature 2, feature 2 + 3, ...... and so on.
So how can I say to gradle I just want to compile this part of my code ?
And how can I manage my code in a clean way for my app to understand which modules are enabled or not ?
Thanks a lot for your answers !
Not sure I'm understanding the problem. Create the flavors and in each of the src/<flavor>/ directories you can specify a build.gradle file and in that gradle file you can add dependencies for other modules. So this modular code would exist in <project root>/libprojects and the separate flavors would then conditionally include that code as a dependency. Make sense?
.
libprojects/module1
libprojects/module2
libprojects/module3
src/flavor1/build.gradle
src/flavor2/build.gradle
/src/flavor3/build.gradle
Each of those build.gradle files in the separate flavors could include dependencies for modules that it needs. Remember, code in a flavor takes precedence over code in src/main/java. So use that to your advantage to creating modular code.
Thanks a lot for your answer
It kinda give me an answer for the concept of isolating code on libraries. But the code isn't the biggest issue for me. Is it possible to put the resources (drawable and raw) in the libs so that I can grab them only on the required flavor of my app ? And do this via gradle dependency as I would have too much flavors otherwise.
Thanks again

FYI, make sure you tap "reply" in the future so a person's post is "quoted" otherwise that person, me, doesn't get notified you responded from XDA. I just happened to click back on this post. Didn't receive a notification.
When you say libs do you mean "libprojects" folder or do you mean libs as in creating a jar file with those resources? Don't forget you can copy the dependencies from another flavor if you need to at compile time. Not sure if that would help in your scenario.

Sorry, bad old reflex
Actually that is my problem. How am I supposed to isolate my features ? Should I make an Android library ? Should I brutally use gradle to isolate some files ?

It really depends on what you mean by isolate features. If you mean paid vs free app then you should undoubtedly isolate those features with a gradle variable that is set at compile time and read from at runtime via the BuildConfig class.
Code:
if (BuildConfig.IS_PRO) {
... some code
}
It's more of a mess to exclude code then to just make a single code source where you conditionally include/exclude based on compile time variables.

Thanks a lot I think this kind of syntax might help me.
To make things clear the product will be compilable for different end products. One might want geolocalization, another not. As features end up taking space in the APK I need to exclude them from compilation. And finally this app must be compilable out of Android Studio so Gradle is my only savior ! And I'm far from beeing a Gradle expert so thanks for your answer I'll look at it
