[GUIDE] How To Add Contacts, Tasks, And Apps Edge Panel | Galaxy Note 5 | Marshmallow

[jovy23]

Hello to all Developers and XDA members! I have come here to give you a guide on how to add contacts, tasks, and apps edge panel on your Galaxy Note 5 device and maybe some other devices as well so here is how you can do it!

What Is Required...
★ First you 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!

★HOW TO ADD CONTACTS, TASKS, AND APPS EDGE PANEL★

WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO: This mod will let you add contacts, tasks, and apps edge panel on your non edge/edge+ Samsung device. (On Marshmallow Firmware).

★ First go into your system/etc folder and find the "floating_feature.xml"

Now open up "floating_feature.xml" with notepad++ for editing.

SEARCH FOR:

    <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE></SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE>
    <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE_STRIPE></SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE_STRIPE>

NOW CHANGE THEM TO:

    <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE>people,task,circle,panel</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE>
    <SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE_STRIPE>-1</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_COMMON_CONFIG_EDGE_STRIPE>

★ Now go into your system/framework folder and take out your "services.jar"
★ Now decompile/baksmali services.jar, then navigate to:

smali/com/android/server/SystemServer.smali

Now open up "SystemServer.smali" with 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++, And what you see in "BLUE" are the line(s) you have to make changes to:

SEARCH FOR:

Now you will need to do is add the SystemServiceRegistry$85.smali file from the attachment below called "framework.jar Contacts, Tasks, And Apps Edge Panel Smali Files.rar" and add it into smali/android/app/. Once done now smali/recompile your framework.jar and your DONE! The last thing you will need to do is add the contacts, tasks, and apps edge panel system files with the apks and also the system/etc/permissions xml files that you will be needing to add into your rom so download link will be below as well.

CONTACTS, TASKS, AND APPS EDGE PANEL SYSTEM FILES DOWNLOAD LINK - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545070682210404

ONLY BUGS ARE NONE EDGE/EDGE+ USERS WONT BE ABLE TO SEE EDGE FEEDS, EDGE LIGHTNING, AND OTHER EDGE/EDGE+ FEATURES DUE TO THE DEVICE HAVING A DIFFERENT DISPLAY. IF EDGE/EDGE+ USERS ARE FLASHING/INSTALLING A NON EDGE/EDGE+ CUSTOM ROM YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE FEATURES ALSO BECAUSE THIS MOD ONLY ADDS CONTACTS, TASKS, AND APPS EDGE PANEL TO THE ROM OTHER DISPLAY FEATURES ARE STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS AND A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO DO BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY COCKTAILBAR CODE IN THE EDGE/EDGE+ STOCK FRAMEWORKS THAT THE NON EDGE/EDGE+ SAMSUNG DEVICES DO NOT HAVE.

 

[jovy23]

Ok everyone the guide based in the OP section is how to add the Contacts, Tasks, And Apps Edge Panel mod on your none edge/edge+ samsung device. The thing im trying to get working is the edge feeds feature. That option will only work for the edge/edge+ samsung device users and not for the note 5 users because of different displays and kernel. So when a user who owns a edge device flashes a note 5 custom rom they will not have that feature (edge feeds). In order for note 5 developers to get it to work i have found all the differential smali files that hopefully will get every edge/edge+ feature fully working for those specific device users while on a note 5 custom rom who have the changes in them. I have placed an attachment below with stock note 5 smali files (that doesn't have cocktailbar code) then the stock edge+ smali files (that have cocktailbar code) placed in it so you will have to implement the cocktailbar code to the note 5 smalis by comparing one file with the other based from both devices together and see what changes were made. Hopefully we can all get this fully working together.

NOTE #1 - The changes are only in the framework.jar and services.jar framework files so we will have to work with both of those frameworks in order to get all edge features working.
NOTE #2 - In some of the note 5 smalis there is methods with "vrflinger" in them that the edge+ doesn't have. So just copy and pasting some of the files won't work. The locations with the vrflinger code in them are listed below and are only in services.jar:

services.jar
smali/com/android/server/am/ActivityManagerService.smali
smali/com/android/server/am/ActivityRecord.smali
smali/com/android/server/policy/PhoneWindowManager.smali
smali/com/android/server/wm/WindowManagerService.smali
smali/com/android/server/wm/WindowStateAnimator.smali

I confirm working. Great guide, thank you very much.

 

[tdunham]

Very nice, about to flash this now.
Super small thing sir. The zip you provided with smali has path smali/com/android/app for child smali but there is no 'com' in the path (even in your guide) so wanted to point it out in case people do not check for proper path in theirs and just copy smali --> smali without looking.
Tnx

Bootlooping here, found a real typo this time.

original was access$3000 which does NOT call checkCallerIsSystemOrSameApp(Ljava/lang/StringV

Edit:


NOTE:
This access$xxxx may cause issues for some smali trying to port this feature.
You may want to post our access$3400 as example and state that is must match THEIR parent smali.

Addendum:
This is what access$3400 looks like in our NotificationManagerService.smali. The call in $6 needs to match.

[tdunham]

Here is a modified apk with the Edge Lighting feature hidden in the menu.
I chose to take the easy way out, modifying layout for the menu.
It doesn't work for us anyway.
I think the other choices do work but don't have the time to check it all out so if something else needs to go, just let me know.

@jovy23 i got bootloop on Note 4 Stock deodexed MM rom.
No error during decompile/recompile of service.jar and framework.jar file.
Attaching the log file. Please look into it.

Did you already refer to my post about access$xxxx a few posts back?
I will add what our access$3400 looks like to that post so you can compare to yours and get yours to call the proper access$xxxx.

Edit:
And I don't see any fatal errors in your log. I see other errors related to edge but not sure if you got the fatal one.

The thing im trying to get working is the edge lightning and edge feeds features. Those options will only work for the edge/edge+ samsung device users and not for the note 5 users because of different displays and kernel.

Edge lighting does definitively work on Note 5 - just FYI :highfive:

 

[tdunham]

Edge lighting does definitively work on Note 5 - just FYI :highfive:

I have a Note 5.
Do you happen to know how i can tell if lighting feature is working and what to look for?

 

[MBariya]

@tdunham, it worked, Thanks for helped solved my bootloop issue

 

[tdunham]

NOTE #2 - In some of the note 5 smalis there is methods with "vrflinger" in them that the edge+ doesn't have. So just copy and pasting some of the files won't work. The locations with the vrflinger code in them are listed below and are only in services.jar:

smali/com/android/server/policy/PhoneWindowManager.smali
smali/com/android/server/wm/WindowManagerService.smali
smali/com/android/server/wm/WindowStateAnimator.smali[/B]

I'm pretty sure that the vrflinger code is relative to the support the Note 5 gives for the Gear VR headset. Just noting it...
