[Q] APKTool Question for Infuse

---

I am trying to modify gtg465x's version of TouchWiz30Launcher.apk. All I am doing is modifying launcher:iconColumnCount to 5 in both layout-land\launcher.xml and layout-port\launcher.xml.

It builds fine. I am using both framework-res and twframework-res in APKTool.

When I copy onto my phone it doesn't launch at all.

If I am in way over my head, don't be shy just tell me. Otherwise any guidance would be appreciated.

You compiling as system apk?

Is that an option? I don't completely understand your question.

Oh sorry, thought you were using APK Manager. Anyways, use APK Manager. It's sort of a front end for APKTool and will be easier.

you don't sign system apks...i think thats what he's trying to get at. Try using apk manager 4.9. it is a dos-based gui that makes apktool do your bidding...including warning you that system apks do not need to be signed.

EDIT: Lol. jinx

Can you make app drawer to continuously scroll instead of paging, but I think it is better scrolling continuously sideways instead of scroll up and down. Because sideways scroll. You see more app right? Or may be a bad idea? I hope they can make an app like the Go SMS PRO where you can switch the paging of app to wave, roll, cube etc.

try this:

* open the original .apk with WinZip or whatever zip opener you like
* drop the changed files into the zip without unziping.
* push to the phone and try it.

i did try to edit the resources.. it won't work also (with apktool). I did try just d and then b. same problem. not showing on launcher

May need to remove data and odex, repush to system/app, and logcat the startup and information that it provides with attempted system installation. If you want more eyes, feel free to push me a PM with a link to your apk and when I receive my infuse later this week, I'll take a crack at it.
