[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.

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!

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.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- 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

my res/values-sw360dp-xhdpi/integers.xml is around 250
where as the res/values/integer.xml has 100,150,200,300 and 250 for different lines
ofcourse these values differ in my fast and insane fast launchers
decompile my fast launcher and u will see
