[DEV][HOW TO]Enable S5 Grid/List View in S4 SecSettings

IganKuhz · Jun 15, 2014

Hello to all Developers and XDA members!!

I have come here to give you a couple of guides on how to enable some S5 Features and other good stuff so here is how you can do it! This guide is only for I9505, I do not know if it can be apply in other variants.
Some mods are based on other dev mods. It took me a lot of time to understand how they did it because they did not share any guide.

What Is Required:
★ Willing of learning and some patience and cold nerves!
★ Yoy need to have experience and know how to decompile/recompile apks with Apktools, apkmanager, smali, and baksmali
★ Have 7-zip installed onto your computer/laptop
★ Make sure you have Notepad++ also installed!

• I am not going to teach you how to use these programs because I am assuming that you already know how to use them!
• You must deodex your app before proceeding.
• A lot of works are done by various xda members, some are from other sites, some are mine. If you found the guide of your mod here and you haven't been credited, please PM.

HOW TO ENABLE S5 GRID/LIST VIEW
WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO: This mod will let you enable grid/list view in the SecSettings.

★ Go into your system/priv-app folder and take out your "SecSettings.apk"
★ Then use one of the applications such as apktools or baksmali and then use the commands to decompile the SecMms.apk
★ Once you have decompiled the SecSettings.apk, go to:

SecSettings\smali\com\android\settings\GridSettings.smali

Now open up "GridSettings.smali" with your notepad++ for editing.

Now for this part of this guide what I have highlighted in "GREEN" text is what you have to find using Notepad++, What you see in "RED" is the line you have to remove/delete completely, And also what you see in "BLUE" is the line you have to make changes to:

SEARCH FOR:

Code:

[COLOR="Green"].method public onCreateOptionsMenu(Landroid/view/Menu;)Z[/COLOR]

Now ADD

Code:

    const v3, 0x7f020013

    invoke-interface {v2, v3}, Landroid/view/MenuItem;->setIcon(I)Landroid/view/MenuItem;

    const/4 v3, 0x5

    invoke-interface {v2, v3}, Landroid/view/MenuItem;->setShowAsActionFlags(I)Landroid/view/MenuItem;

    :cond_0
[COLOR="Blue"]    const/16 v0, 0xc9

    const v1, 0x7f090027

    invoke-interface {p1, v3, v0, v3, v1}, Landroid/view/Menu;->add(IIII)Landroid/view/MenuItem;

    move-result-object v0

    new-instance v1, Landroid/content/Intent;

    const-class v2, Lcom/android/settings/GridSettings;

    invoke-direct {v1, p0, v2}, Landroid/content/Intent;-><init>(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/Class;)V

    invoke-interface {v0, v1}, Landroid/view/MenuItem;->setIntent(Landroid/content/Intent;)Landroid/view/MenuItem;[/COLOR]

    const/16 v3, 0xca

    const v4, 0x7f09002b

    invoke-interface {p1, v5, v3, v5, v4}, Landroid/view/Menu;->add(IIII)Landroid/view/MenuItem;

    move-result-object v1

    invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/settings/GridSettings;->makeFavoriteIntent()Landroid/content/Intent;

    move-result-object v0

    invoke-interface {v1, v0}, Landroid/view/MenuItem;->setIntent(Landroid/content/Intent;)Landroid/view/MenuItem;

    :cond_1
    invoke-super {p0, p1}, Landroid/app/Activity;->onCreateOptionsMenu(Landroid/view/Menu;)Z

    move-result v3

    return v3
.end method

Once done save your changes. now go to:

SecSettings\res\values\bools.xml

Now CHANGE THIS LINES TO:

Code:

<bool name="settings_list">[COLOR="Red"]true[/COLOR]</bool>

Code:

<bool name="settings_list">[COLOR="Blue"]false[/COLOR]</bool>

and

Code:

<bool name="settings_grid">[COLOR="Red"]false[/COLOR]</bool>

Code:

<bool name="settings_grid">[COLOR="Blue"]true[/COLOR]</bool>

This will remove second SecSetting icon in draw menu.

Once done now save changes, Recompile your SecSettings.apk and that's it your DONE!!!

If this help you give me credits, I have spend many hours doing this.

OK. This is for you my friends, As you ask me. Many more HOW TO are coming.

Hi there,

Does your settings include the S5 Partical Effects? And also, does it works on NC base ROM?

S5 Partical Effects included, but i don't know if it works on NC base , SecSettings base is I9505VJUGNE2

Alright then. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll try this secsettings on NC base ROM and will give you feedback later.

EDIT: Doesn't work on NC base ROM. FC.

vicl89 · Jun 20, 2014

I still can't understand how to add the lines or something. I decompiled the apk, I found the line in the smali file but...

Should I put the lines below ".method public onCreateOptionsMenu(Landroid/view/Menu

Z" or what? I can't understand

dajumper · Jun 20, 2014

The grid style is not working good an example battery icon gives language etc... when i change to list everything works good

Well, the results given when you press the icons are common with this mod. There're some bugs anyway. We need someone to fix this problems. In my case, I downloaded the modded SecSettings apk from a post in this thread and I had FC's.

I decompiled both apk's (mine and modded), just replaced three files (smali, bools and grid) and I got FC's after compiling.

I don't understand where should I place the lines in GridSettings.smali
