Open Fx and open System[Root] & Give root permissions.
now to /data/cust/xml
and add the file above .. replace if needed.
now to add an app
open in your device or sd card with fx
Android/data
if u don't know your app package name, fx shows the app icon in android/data right on the folder just copy the name.
add these lines in the file.
<mw_app package_name="com.facebook.katana"
default_visibility="1"/>
don't forget, that file shoud be in /data/cust/xml .. so u must mount read-write in FX
change the value between the quotes in the code above to the package name of the app you want.
the above one is that of facebook.
///mw_app = multiwindow app.
add the line under any line like this
default_visibility="1"/>
now after you are done adding your apps
go to settings > manage apps > all > chose Hwdualwindowlauncher
and clear its data.
Now try multiwindow and see
It wi work if u do it from the homescreen , if u open the app and try it won't. that's because you should reboot
NOTE :
- Don't add your mw_app under any line contaning *nonsystem*.
there's no way to brick your phone while doing ,u r safe.

Multi Window is a feature that I've had deactivated since purchase because of the fact that basically only system apps were compatible, though now it works as it should (with a little manual input)!

Hey, do you have root access? This a required part...
If you are rooted and cannot create a folder try a different root explorer. I've had it with a couple of these apps where you are unable to add / edit folders or files in root (most surprisingly I got this with ES File Explorer, which was my go-to app for years) I just recently discovered FX (just search those two letters in the Play Store) and it works like an absolute charm, and looks great at the same time! You'll have to install a root plugin, though it is linked in the app and it's free as well. :good:
[EDIT]: I see you are already using FX, sorry about that. I don't think you have the root plugin installed. Search for "File Explorer (root add-on)" on the Play Store and install it, you should then be able to create the folders once you granted the app access in SuperSU.
But besides that, yes, the cust folder in /data does not exist by default (at least it didn't on my device either), but once you create it it works a treat.

I just happened to notice that in /data was a symlink named cust, I don't know what it was supposed to link to because it can't be opened. I renamed it to free the name and was then able to create the path and move the xml file there. Added my apps to the xml like chrome and whatsapp, cleared the data for hwdualwindow app and rebooted, still not working for dual window though, either I've done something stupid or those 2 apps don't support dual window. Ah well....

Not sure on that synlink, it's nowhere to be found on my device. Just make sure that you create or have the following directory: /data/cust/xml. There is a cust folder in the root folder, however putting the xml files in there does not work.
I can confirm that Whatsapp and Chrome are both functioning well in MW on my device.

After rolling back to B326 it seems to finally be working! Maybe something wrong with my previous install. Looks good now. Attached screenshot with Chrome and ES File Explorer running split screen.
Tried adding my launcher (Nova) to the list and it shows up on the dual screen selection menu but sadly just minimizes all apps and goes to home screen. Guess it's not ideal for 3rd party launchers.
Anyways, thanks for the tutorial mate!

so basically, create 3 folders which are data( if not already there) then create cust inside it and then create XML folder inside cust. inside XML folder, you will create a file and name it whatever you want and end it with .xml and write inside it. then go to setting and clear data and reboot.
I did this and its not working at all. I can open the multiwindow but I cant add the chrome app.

Which firmware are you running? I got mine to work in the path /data/cust/xml/multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml
I have a feeling that the path may be different on some firmwares as I could not get this to work on B331, but works perfect on B326.
I see you don't have the complete xml file, download the one I've attached here and try with that, its the one I'm using on my phone.
By the way, I use ES File Explorer with the root access setting enabled. Found it better than the explorer suggested by the OP (personal preference though, use what you like)

okay I did this and it didnt work. first question,
I must name the file the same name you have ? " multiwindow_whitelist_apps.xml"
my phone info:
model: MT7-TL10
Android Version: 5.1.1
EMUI version: 3.1
I attached a pic showing the folders and there is a cust folder and a data folder when I access the #system (root) folder and when I make a file inside the XML folder
I will write this inside it:
(<mw_app package_name="com.facebook.katana"
default_visibility="1"/>
///mw_app = multiwindow app.)
right ?
I downlouded ES explorer and I founded two local and there is two data folders, which folder you guys talking about. ?

Ok guys here's my first contribution to the community I guess.
First of all thanks to;
frostman89 - for the iphone pngs
teslacoil - for the widgetlocker for sure!
others - those that contributed that i forgot.
I take no credit at all, i created this thread because many people have PM'ed me for the pngs and tutorial.
Ok lets start shall we? You will need;
- Widgetlocker(Buy it first cuz its not free)
- Root Explorer(Buy it too and this is optional if you dont know adb)
- the PNG files, download here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8731533&postcount=31 >> Thanks frostman89! OR from my dropbox;

Got 2 steps on how to do this;
1) ADB
2) Root Explorer
3) My own steps(this is what i did to get it working!!)
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
5) Paypal buyer~~
6) Easier method - simple script
7) What if FC after applied the mod?
BEFORE THAT, NANDROID first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) ADB(google would help a lot)
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. You will need Android SDK installed (google for it will ya?).
b. "adb pull" your widgetlocker(anyone who did this can tell me please?)
c. Open your "pulled" apk using winrar.
d. Browse to /res/drawable-hdpi
e. Drop those 2 images you downloaded in there(make sure it is the exact name as the original so it will overwrite it.
f. Now for adb push part(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
g. Tada! Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Root Explorer
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
d. Put it back into system/app(you need to be in R/W mode)
e. After that, long click the app, select permissions, and do checkmarks like this: (the * represents a checkmark) - this is courtesy of frostman89
* . * . -
* . - . -
* . - . -
f. Reboot and voila!
==========================================================
3. My own steps!
Actually my steps is mixed between those 2 because, I can't pull using adb so i had to pull using Root Explorer. Then I cant push it using Root Explorer so i had to adb push them.
So there you go, if you have problems like me, just did what i did.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
f. adb push(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
I'll tell you guys too why i cant use adb pull and push using root explorer;
adb pull - easy, i dont know how to adb at that time...haha~~
paste using root explorer - i pasted it but nothing appeared? i was like wtf and that leads me to learn how to adb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
I'm not sure how but here is what faceqt told me;
Or, if you have S-OFF you can use Ninjamorph to replace the 2 .png's and reboot your phone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Paypal buyer~~
Quoted from jayhan73;
For people who have purchaed WidgetLocker off paypal, the steps to do this only involves replacing the png files (i.e. opening the apk file sent to your email and adding the png files into the required directory). After that, reinstall the widgetlocker. You may also choose to push the apk via adb. Either way, it works.

But i believe once you mod it you can't install it normally, so its either adb or root explorer.
6)Easier method - Smple script as posted by brady;
brady1uk said:
There is a much easier way to get this on your phone using the files from the OP without faffing around on adb, rom manager etc...
download APK manager from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
put the apk file in the "place-apk-here-for-modding"
run the script.bat and extract it, (basically unzips it) drop the new PNG files in /res/drawable-hdpi (replace already existing) then run zip.apk from script and (select option 2 Regular apk) then use option 4 sign apk.
look in the pace-apk-here-for-modding folder will be a new file called 'something'-signed.apk. (this is the new edited Widgetlocker
This file you can put on your SD card and Install and Uninstall like a normal apk using ASTRO etc. no need for ADB and root explorer.
Takes literally 5 minutes to do with NO RISK to your phone

7) What if FC after applying the mod?
Is WidgetLocker Force Closing after you've applied the mod?
Quoted from zHK3r
Then try these steps:
Requirements:
Android SDK
HTC Sync Drivers
WidgetLocker
Two PNGs
7zip/WinRAR
1) ADB pull /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Rename the .apk to .zip and open the folder - Drop the two PNGs in drawable-hdpi
3) Rename the .zip back to .apk
On your phone: Uninstall WidgetLocker and then re-install.
Start WidgetLocker, but once you've started it. Press home.
Don't apply any settings or continue the tutorial
4) ADB push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
On your phone: Start WidgetLocker > Menu > Settings > Look and Feel > Slider & Layout > iPhone
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb pull data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Btw if you have any problems pushing an apk, try this;
Quoted from Zaphyr;
Ok, so I figured out the problem.
/system wasn't mounted. Even in recovery when I tried to push it over, I needed to go in the Clockwork settings and choose mount system before I could push it.
But now it works perfectly! YAY!!

*I'm pretty sure it'll work the same for other lockscreen you wanted as long as you have the needed files.
Feel free to comment and give feedbacks, and correct me if i got wrong in some part. Enjoy!

Just drop it inside the res>drawable hdpi - it'll replace by itself, that being said, it will replace the existing file(meaning slider_iphone and slider_iphone_background). You can back up the original files if you want.

Download widget locker, back it up using astro, take the apk from sd/backups/apps and put it on your pc desktop, change the extention from .apk to .zip (just right click then go to rename and make the changes) with winzip, go to the drawable_hdpi folder then copy the above instructions for which files to delete, download the png from the first post, put it in drawable_hdpi.
After that, rename it back to .apk, put it on your sd card and install via astro. Make sure to delete the version you have installsd on your phone first just to be safe.
Hope that works anyway, its just killed my thumbs

yes and yes
the script in v5.0 the command numbers are the same as in 4.9 ie, to read log it's still option 21 in 5.0, but under the about option it says v5.0 is this correct, or should the command numbers be different...
I keptthe options the same there is some more tweaking that needs to be done and not being the original guy who wrote this I am reluctent to change it much. This is basically a unofficial release of his script until he decides to make more updates to this but feel free to report anything that does not work or if you see a patch I might of missed or over looked a change needed

Wow! I was looking at APK Manager 4.9 just last night but didn't download it since I noticed it hadn't been updated since last year.
I just happened to Google again right now, and noticed this 5.0 that was just released this morning.
Thanks for updating this. I'll be playing around with it tomorrow...
I'm stumped...I'm trying to run this on Vista. I have Java installed, but when I run the script I get:
Java was not found, you will not be able to sign apks or use apktool
Press any key to continue . . .
I realize this is probably not a problem with your tool, but I'd appreciate any help offered to get it working.
***Edit*** Found my problem. When I set my path for Java I used a : instead of a ; it's working perfectly now.
I have yet to be able to decompile an app with dependencies using option 10, the managers says to drag the dependee apk in this window or type its path, I can't drag and drop anything to the manager and I don't understand type in its path, do I type the path of the location of the apk on my computer or what?

I didn't install apk manager in my Android folder where my SDK is located it's just on my computer under a general file/folder, does it matter where it's installed? Please help, I've asked this question on the 4.9 thread but got no response...
oh yeah I forgot to mention that the apps I'm trying to decompile using option 10 are non system apps like the ones that you get from the market that can't be decompied using option 9...
has the linux version script been updated to include the option for installing resources for dependecies

This is perfect. I've been finding myself playing with quite a few apk's lately and going through a bunch in order to test them. This will save me quite a few steps. Thanks.
Great update. Thanks
Here is a log of the error when decompileing an apk. It works fine in 4.9 with apktool 1.3.1 but gives this error in your 5.0. I have seen this where one version of apktool will decompile the apk but the newer version will not.

First you need to make sure the path has no empty parts
C://androidfiles/apk_manager_5.0 is fine, C://android files/apk_manager_5.0 would create issues.
You only need to install new framework`s in the following cases:
1. You decompile a system apk from a different Android platform then before (Froyo, Gingerbread eg.) - in that case you install a new framework-res.apk
2. You decompile a system apk with dependencies to a 2nd framework like in Sense ROM`s or Samsung ROM`s - in that case you will in case of Sense install a new com.htc.resources.apk
You can install these with 10 option and just drag the framework in the bottom of the script window. In the rare case this fails (never happened to me), you can manually install frameworks in apktool:
open a terminal/command prompt
cd into the folder, where your apk is located
(in this example sensation)
now type this:
apktool if framework-res.apk sensation (sensation will be a tag name of the framework)
and then after type this:
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk sensation (sensation will be a tag name of the framework)
You don`t need the tags, but in case you are working on multiple projects with apktool, it makes sense. In any case I doubt you will have issues, if you drag framework to the correct area.

1.3.1 is always good to have, since sometimes new apktool versions create issues (and vice versa). For that reason I always have several versions on hand so I can just drag them in "other" folder when needed.
Exactly how do I change the path to include adb.exe, which in Android SDK 12 is in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools path.
Because Every time I launch the script in APK Manager, I get this message "Adb was not found. You will not be able to manipulate the files on your phone". I would really like to get this working. Thanks guys.
Hi.
I would have preferred to have figured this out for myself but I'm stumped here. An unmodified framework decompiles ok but any other apk fails.

Hi
Im trying to edit the framework-res.apk from my rom, to change the battery icons.
Im using APK manager to decompile the apk, then i replace the stat_sys_battery pngs with 30 custom ones. after that i edit the stat_sys_battery.xml and zzzstat_sys_battery.xml to include my pngs at specific battery percantages.
that all goes well, but when i try to compile the .apk i get some errors.
first i have to type y or n i its a system app.
i press y and enter
after that it says to navigate to /apkmanager/keep and delete all files i edited.
but all files in this folder is the stock ones (IE unedited)
i have tried a bunch of things:
1. do nothing and continue
I end up with a 4 KB unsignedframework-res.apk containing onlt meta info
2. I delete the stock versions of the files I edited
I end up with exactly what was in the keep folder, an .apk without the files which I deleted
3. I delete the stock versions of the files I edited, and replace them with my modified files
I end up with what seems to be what i need (when i open the .apk in 7-zip i see all of my pngs and xmls) but when i flash it i end up with the battery unknown icon
Can anyone enlighten me??
Ok, I have no more Java or adb.exe issues. The problem is, once I choose 9 to decompile, the cmd window closes and nothing gets decompiled. Any workaround for that? I tried to change the compatibility to XP sp3 but no help.
Today I am proud to present my new creation EAIT - EASY APK IMAGE THEMER.
DISCONTINUED
I don't use Windows anymore, so any support for this script/app is dropped.
Download from Mediafire or from ATTACHMENT.
I see sometimes peoples get very shocked after they see my modded versions of whatsapp, so I thought lets make something which helps to *any* normal android user to edit any apk.
Keep in mind that this is not much advance tool and won't be able to do all editing.
So what exactly is EAIT, it's a simple tool which extracts APK to let you edit images and then compress it back to .apk to install on your phone.
What you need?
JRE 6/7 -download it from java.com
Any good image editor like l Photoshop, GIMP or Paint.net
steps:
1. Download .rar from above.
2. Extract in C:/
3. Take backup of app(by ES explorer) you want to edit and move it to "PLACE-APK-HERE"
4. Run main application "easy apk image themer" from folder.
5. See your current apk will be listed on top.
6. Press 1 and enter to extract
7. Minimize the window and go to 'Project' folder. You'll find appname.apk folder, click on it.
8. Browse through "res" folder and see images inside drawable folders. Edit then with help of Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.NET.
Warning: rules of editing
>never edit "imagename".9.png files or you may get force close.
>If you want to replace image then choose something that has same resolution
9. After all editing maximize the window you previously minimized.
10. Press 2 and hit enter, wait for a while.
11. Press 3 and hit enter wait for a while.
12. You will find Signed-appname.apk in your "place-apk-here" folder
13. Send that app to your phone and install ( you may need to Un-install previous one)
14. Enjoy... and press thanks if you liked it

I've always wanted to make an inverted Facebook app, so I might give this a shot. Thank you for your work
I’m not trying to rain on OP’s parade, but out of curiosity, aren’t there similar tools for Windows already? Sometimes with even better GUIs like elesbb's GUI APK Tool
This looks like APK Multi Tool, minus all of the extra features. Even the folder structure is the same.
please help

Sure, this is similar to some of the other apk editors out there like ApkTool/ApkMultiTool but this is NEWB friendly as the op expressed. I think this is a great program for someone just starting to learn about the android os and curious about themeing their own applications. Wish I had this tool when I first started themeing with apk multi tool. Without all the fluff and extra features, this software will be very helpful for users who are specifically interested in modifying the look of their applications. Good job Ankush
Anyone have any tips on editing Hangouts.apk? More specifically I would like to modify the emoji. Does framework-res.apk need to be included or something?

OK so far so good, anyone know the name or where in the APK folder (which drawable folder) I could find the background images. I am working on the facebook messenger from my Sprint GS3.
Well I managed to edit the color of one of the pictures inside an app (ended up using the clock app) and now I cannot get it to install. I deleted the old clock and tried installing from es and also flashing from TWRP but could not find the file there (guess because it was not a .zip). Has to be in system/app folder.
i was trying lidroid togle on my system ui ddlk1
this was my procedure--
1 download all 3 files lidroidsysemui ,lidroid res and quicksettings.apk
2 decompile systemui and lidroidsystemui
3 copied the contents from lidroidsystemui smali folder to systemui smali folder , did not replace just copied from smali of lidroid to smali of systemui
4 i got copying message if you want to merge these folder,since 'com' folder was common to both,clicked yes
5 modified the statusbarservice.smali file
6 recompiled apk
7 opened with 7zip and copied the classes.dex to system/app
8 copied systemui.apk to syatem/app and lidroid-res to system/framework
9 quicksettings.apk to system/app
10 rebooted phone but i didnt got any status bar.the wallpaper is to the top
help me
have you set the correct permissions for all the apks
they should all be rw-r-r
you can also use a tool that will actually do everything for you except edit the manifest if you want to enable flashlight
you need to have notepad++ installed to be able to edit the smali file as per instructions on the thread
also if you have edited the manifest to enable flashlight you need to resign the apk

I am working on your systemui. I did not find this post, because you did not mention/quote me.
If you need help then just mention me/someone by "@hnkotnis"
Anyway you cannot install that apk by Package Installer. (Also cannot install other system apps)
You need to use Aroma File Manager (my 1st choice), Root Explorer (My 2nd choice) or System Apps Installer (This has some problems sometimes).

pm me your facebook plzzzzzzz
i will keep it to myself only
just use the lidroid tool I gave earlier with an unmodded stock system ui
once done flash that and check that everything works except flashlight
for flashlight add this to the activity in the android manifest
Code:
<activity android:theme="@*android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:name="com.lidroid.systemui.quickpanel.FlashlightActivity" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" />
resign the apk - important since you have changed the manifest you must resign
put in a flashable and zip and flash with system mounted
note - you cant put it in the rom zip and reflash - the status bar will disappear most likely due to signature mismatches as all system apps need to be signed with the same key so if thats what you are doing re-sign all your system apps with the same key or you could maybe edit the framework to allow multiple signitures

Also annoyed by the, usually useless, Yellow Pages entries in the stock Huawei dialer? Here's a way to remove them:
Browse to /cust/all/cn/prop using a file manager with root privileges, like Root Explorer used here
Open the file local.prop to edit
Scroll down to the lines as shown in the third image (ro.product.locale.language and ro.product.locale.region)
The second one is the one that matters, change to your current locale (I used NL for Netherlands, US will also work)*
Save the file, check permissions to be sure but usually this will be okay right away (rw-r--r--)
Reboot the phone
Profit, no more Chinese characters / Yellow Pages!
* Entering En for the language and for example NL as the region still won't solve the region "bug", it remains impossible to use NL as country and En as language, utterly annoying
Thank you, worked like a charm [emoji106]
Sent via Huawei Mate 8 AL-10 (KangVIP Rom)
Unfortunately, it didn't work for me
I tried it with ES File Explorer and Total Commander.
Es File Explorer: It saves it successfully but after rebooting, it still show the chinese yellow page and if I check the file the region is still "CN"
Total Commander: It says "error editing" (in German, I don't know the exact translation in English).

Thanks, I've downloaded it and tried to move to cust/all/cn/prop.. But it says "Move failed". I've even downloaded Root Explorer and gave it a go but it doesn't work.
After reboot it automatically changes back to zh/CN. I don't know why. The Root Explorer saves it successfully but after reboot it's the same again.

I've tried but it didn't work because I couldn't choose in Chrome /cust as a download directory.
Now I tried something different:
I've downloaded the file on my pc and then transfered it to /cust/all/cn/prop via "adb push". And everything seems fine, even after 2 reboots it says en/US in the local.prop file.
But it still shows the chinese numbers :/
EDIT:
I've just recognized that the permission of local.prop file gets changed to rw-rw-rw after reboot.
So, I changed the file permission via "adb shell" and now it worked and the chinese numbers are goone
Thanks a lot!

That's really great to get rid of this annoying chinese dialer
I was using this method on b172 and then on b180, worked well.
But now that i am on b321, i cant seem to get it to work.
Its only upon reboot that the modifications get turned back to CN..
permissions are correct and still the same after boot (rw-r--r--)

You can use Titanium Backup and freeze Yellow Pages.

I tried that months ago. I am on KangVIP, so some system apps such as Yellowpages are already removed from the rom, so technically dont exist.
The only way to disable it entirely was through this method of editing the prop file mentioned in this thread.
This method worked all along on previous firmwares,

Not when it's embedded in the stock dialer.

Actually even without root disabling Yellow Pages app worked for me. Language is set to UK En and region is Singapore. Not sure if that impacts.

Disable it in settings, Apps.
First choose 'show system' and, than Just disable yellow pages.
Just that simple.

I dont know if you read the other posts, but i did mention earlier that on some roms such as KangVIP, the Yellowpages app is already removed, yet the chineese in phone app is still there, and as Pfeffernuss mentioned, it is embedded in the stock dialer, that is true too
His method in this thread did indeed work very well on EMUI4.0. but cant get it to work on on EMUI4.1.

Thank you. Just disabled it on my P9+128 CN version, it removed the yellow pages and now shows favourites instead. Job done.
Thanks

Even now without Yellow Pages this dialer doesn't reach my preferences, you cannot sort as you please etc. So I use ZenUI Dialer & Contacts as default now, its from playstore free and no ads. It's completely as I want it to be.

I also use an aftermarket dialer (exDialer) but that's not the scope of this thread
