[Reverse][APP] Facebook Home

Hey, after messing with the new Launcher of Facebook we can see some of the reverse engineering with the Facebook Home apk.
We will benefit from the new forums recently added for Developers!
Remember it's only with educational intentions! No thermonuclear wars supported!
Let's start!
Important findings!
The Feature called Home it's established inside the code as Dash.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="title_activity_dash">Facebook Home</string>
<string name="[B]settings_dash[/B]">Facebook Home settings</string>
<string name="[B]enable_dash[/B]">Enable Facebook Home</string>
The Main Process seems to be DashActivity:
Code:
<activity
android:theme="@style/Theme.FacebookDark"
android:label="@string/title_activity_dash"
android:name="com.facebook.dash.activities.DashActivity"
android:process=":dash"
android:taskAffinity="com.facebook.dash.dashtask"
android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"
android:launchMode="singleInstance"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.facebook.intent.action.DASH" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.facebook.intent.action.HOME" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
How does it work
The launcher apk AKA com.facebook.home it's just a very poor coded apk with a recalling method to the official Facebook apk AKA com.android.katana. As the Home app doesn't include too many code we will expect that Facebook Home will work on any android device while it accomplishes the minimum requirements. For the moment the launcher only supports the portrait options and it's not finished (like the experience in the Apps page).
How does it feel
The launcher without any sync account it's very easy to use. First you locate your profile picture that with some swipe methods we will Access to the Camera, the apps or the last app launched. It's oriented in a 100% to share content to facebook with the Status, Photo and Check in options in the top. If you wanna dismiss it you can swipe down easily.

RK29 Tab - Working - CM10
Galaxy S I9000 - Working - CM10.1
Please continue with the Reverse! Any important comment will be added to the Original Post!
I am attaching the source build environment of com.facebook.home and com.facebook.katana. Based on decompiled sources!
See you!

Lol it's the intent-fair of this year

Ok! I'll try to edit the build.prop.
But it's one time progress or I must stay with the build.prop changed?

I am thinking to build a light version of Facebook home, without the launcher and all the crappy stuff.
Help is always appreciated

[MOD][GB] Highlighted Chooserbox

Hey all!
If you have noticed, on ICS/JB there is a little transition when you click on a chooserbox. This is a nice feature which I like very much!
After doing some investigation on framework I realized that on res/drawable-mdpi there were some pngs which are needed for this feature to work.

}

Actually this feature exists on gingerbread but there aren't enough xmls to activate it. Seems like Google has abandoned the project because of some reasons. The closest reason is this :
"Google have not implemented the full sources of it because they wanted to reserve it for future releases. [On ICS/JB]"
Why do i think so? Because @SpaceCaker has discovered many secrets whose nature is like in our case. He has discovered weather information on lockscreen, Music Player Control on Lockscreen and also some codes and smalis which are present on ICS.
[Actually, I have used custom sources rather than using google's one]
Today I gonna show you how to fully implement it on GB! :victory:
Requirments :
-APK Multi Tools
-Notepad++
-Knowledge about xmls
-Sources on attachments

- Decompile framework-res.apk
1. Go to res/drawable/list_selector_background.xml
You will see something like this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]list_selector_background_disabled[/B]" />
[COLOR="red"]<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_transition" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]list_selector_background_transition[/B]" />[/COLOR]
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_focus" />
</selector>
2. Change the 2 red lines. It will look like this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
[COLOR="Red"]<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]sniper_killer[/B]" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]sniper_killer[/B]" />[/COLOR]
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_focus" />
</selector>
3. Download the Highlight Chooserbox_source.zip in the attachment, extract it and put sniper_killer.xml on drawable folder.
It consists these lines :
Code:
<item android:duration="20" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim2" />
<item android:duration="20" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim2" />
<item android:duration="30" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim3" />
<item android:duration="30" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim4" />
<item android:duration="40" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim5" />
<item android:duration="50" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim6" />
<item android:duration="60" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim7" />
<item android:duration="60" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim8" />
4. Put the PNGs on res/drawable-mdpi
5. Recompile framework-res.apk and test

[Q] Xposed App Settings (DPI) for fullscreen Games / Playing Chuzzle in HD?

Hi,
i've got my GT-I9505 for almost 2 weeks now, nearly soft-bricked it twice, but successfully rooted and installed Xposed Framework.
I would like to play Popcaps Chuzzle on it. Sadly the exclusive selling over amazon wasn't a good idea, so it isn't continued and not optimized for devices with higher resolutions (only 320x480).
While the Galaxy Tab has a compatibility feature to scale old apps, the S4 doesn't provide such. So the plan was to use Xposed App Setting to change the DPI for Chuzzle. But that doesn't work. Changing the resolution for normal apps like Google Play Store and such works great, all fullscreen games seems to ignore the app settings.
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any suggestions?
PS.: As amazon no longer sells Chuzzle PM me if you need the APK for testing.

So, I tryed another way... and failed again.
I've tryed to modify the apk to change the manifest. The manifest didn't contain a <supports-screens /> yet, so I created two modded versions with
HTML:
<supports-screens android:compatibleWidthLimitDp="252" />
and
HTML:
<supports-screens android:resizeable="false" />
to force Android to display them in compatibility mode. But both didn't change anything.
Sadly I haven't coded any app yet, so I don't have any experience with the screen behaviors.
The game isn't even that good, that it deserves that effort, but it really bothers me that I'm not able to get it running. Please help

The module App Settings doesn't support changing DPI and Resolution of native apps, as of today (not just this game you're talking about). The code they've is too simplistic to achieve that. To their credit, their solution is clean enough. You can reach out and raise a request with the developer of the App Settings Xposed module to get support out for ALL apps, and not just java apps.
Try ParanoidAndroid meanwhilst. Their Hybrid Settings that changes per app DPI/Resolution is more powerful.
