Well your looking at an ambitious project. Remember smali is the language that baksmali translates from source code to smali. It is the class.dex.
Reading smali is much harder then reading source code. Unless you have some experience in reading smali and understanding it it will be very very difficult

Yeah, I know But VTS is a big step forward with descriptions of what's happening, jumping between references, goto's, cond's and so on. Still a major PITA but getting easier. Also decompiles back to java source...

So yep, might be biting off way more than I can chew but hey, everybody loves a trier right

Feel free to jump in and help BTW...

If i can help I will. It isn't personally something i feel the need for but it does sound like a cool project. I need to become familiar with the New dev tools diamond put out

Place the skin in data/app
and the name would be-
persist.sys.skin=name.in.manifest

probably something like com.dms.skin or whatever the name in the manifest is.

if that makes sense.

Question - in my solution in VTS I have decompiled the idlescreen-base, idlescreen-shortcuts, rosie, settings, settingsprovider, framework-res, framework-htc-res, tweaks & systemui apks. However when I search across all the files in the entire solution folder (so all those decompiled apks in one go) I can't find 'Show launch bar shortcuts' which is one of the strings used in the Sense 4 personalize screen. So where else could it be? com.htc.resources? It's the only apk I can't seem to decompile, tried the different apktool versions but no luck...

Unfortunately sense 4 com.htc.resources can't be decompiled until apktool is updated
