"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Update:Still need something....stuck with the force closes and no statusbar!

The best thing for you to keep it really simple and to avoid manual editing with apktool is to use uot kitchen
the Web address is http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
if you're not sure how to use it Google guides but as a general rule
make sure everything is set to ldpi
update script to galaxy
make sure you generate preview
and upload your SystemUI.apk framework-res.apk and if required twframework.apk

[Guide] Add new wallpapers in SecWallpaperChooser.apk

I was trying to add few extra wallpapers in my Samsung device's system app SecWallpaperChooser.apk but unfortunately didn't find any tutorial or guide to help me, so I have to learn and do it all on my own.
So basically I'm writing this tutorial for those who want to add new wallpapers and specially for those new devs who are making new Rom with lollipop or above version theme for a device that is 4.1+
Prerequisites:-
1) A rooted phone
2) Backup your original SecWallpaperChooser.apk
3) Any Tool that can Decompile & Recompile with it's requirements
4) Notepad++
5) Photoshop or any other similar software.
6) Basic knowledge of decompiling and recompiling.
Let's Start
Backup your SecWallPaperChooser.apk
Decompile SecWallpaperChooser.apk
Add or edit wallpapers in \res\drawable-sw320dp-hdpi [Since my device is sw-320dp-hdpi, you may have different too]
Numbering should be in ascending order like wvga_05.jpg , wvga_05_small.jpg , wvga_06.jpg , wvga_06_small.jpg & so on.... Check the screenshot below.
Screenshot
{
"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"
}
Now Open \res\values\public.xml
Replace "APKTOOL_DUMMY_XXXX" with the new added wallpaper name & save it.
I have added 5 new wallpapers with the name
wvga_06.jpg , wvga_06_small.jpg
wvga_07.jpg , wvga_06_small.jpg
wvga_08.jpg , wvga_06_small.jpg
wvga_09.jpg , wvga_06_small.jpg
wvga_10.jpg , wvga_06_small.jpg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Screenshot
Now Open \res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\arrays.xml [Since my device is sw-320dp-hdpi, you may have different too]
Add the item[wallpaper] name that you have added & save it.
I have added the 5 new wallpapers with the above name so my additions in the coding is
<item>wvga_06</item>
<item>wvga_07</item>
<item>wvga_08</item>
<item>wvga_09</item>
<item>wvga_10</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Screenshot
Recompile & install the apk or adb push it.
If you like my work press :good: and if you use it for your rom don't forget to mention it Enjoy!

Thank you for explanations.

Smali Visual Studio Extension

About SmaliVS
SmaliVS is a Visual Studio project and language extension for the smali file type. Smali is the disassembly output from APK's using the smali\baksmali tools.
Using this extension will allow you to dump an apk form your device. It will automatically dissasemble the apk and create a Visual Studio Project. From there you can modify the .smali files from within Visual Studio, then use Visual Studios Build\Deploy to reinstall the modified apk. This extension uses ApkTool as well as smali\baksmali to do the important work with the apks and is already packaged with the extension. Java is a requirement and java should be added to your environment variables. Basic usage instructions can be found on the Wiki page

Hey everyone , welcome to yet another project where we meet as always.
I've finally decided to make a theme for TWRP rather than my old stupid method which was theming the TWRP imgs, so.. yeah I hope you like it.

^- HARD THEMED ALL ICONS
-- CHANGED RADIO BUTTONS - RIGHT MARKS - ETC ..
!# 2 VERSIONS :
| INVERTED - BLUE | :
-- THEMED ALL ICONS IN GRADIENT BLUE
| INFINITE - GOLDEN | :
-- THEMED ALL ICONS IN GRADIENT GOLD
^- And it's for any Android device that has TWRP 3.x installed.

How to install:
1. Download your desired theme to your device
• if you have any problem with downloading make sure you disabled any AD-BLOCKER you have
2. Go to recovery mode ( a.k.a TWRP ) and install the theme as a normal zip file
3. Reboot
• Test and let me know if you have any problem with anything
How to uninstall/remove:
• Head to /sdcard/TWRP/theme using your favourite file explorer.
• Remove what's inside the theme folder, that's it.
• If you want to go back to your previous theme you'll find a file called ui_old.zip, just flash it as a normal zip file.

Why not just make a universal theme if there are only cosmetic changes? Any twrp device will be able to use it then.

Yes I am thinking about that , but be patient , will add support for more devices as soon as I am free .

Just to mention, latest official TWRP had some issues with formating F2fs partition, so make sure to merge the patches to fix it.

Hey guys , today is a big day and I've been watching you asking non-stop for new supported devices.. so now you can use SBT themes on ANY ANDROID DEVICE : check it out here.
