[GUIDE]How-to enable 3 dot menu button in S5 ported apps without xposed modules

[moshikko]

If you try the one I mod and uploaded here you'll possibly get bootloop 'cause most ROMs are deodexed so I don't think it works on odex ROMs

Thank you for your reply , I guess I'll have to wait for a deodexed ROM for my device

Update

after a long research i figured out few things :
1. framework-res.apk is deodexed even in stock odexed roms
2. my compiling tool was faulty probably
3. managed to create a file working for my i9506 using the latest stable apk multi-tool

so thank you for the guide , i now have an S5 like 3Dot menu
4. never give up

Hi Nimeni mate, is that the S5 tw launcher in one of your screenshots? I ask, because I have used Arsaw's tw launcher, but I didnt like the icons because they were too big. You look like you have the S5 tw launcher, but with normal sized icons?

Problem to Recompile 4.4.4 framework-res.apk

Hello,
@NimeniAltu

Thank you for your tuto, very clear and simple, I used it a lot. But ... I tried to enable the 3 dot menu in the M919NUVUFNI3 4.4.4. ported version by Eudemony (V6.1),I can decomplile the framework-res.apk without problem, but can't recompile it.

I even tried to do it without any modification with no success. I use the last version of APKTOOL, I tried the 4.4.2 framework-res.apk to be sure it's working very well.

Has it anything to do with the fact it's a 4.4.4 framework-res.apk ?

Maybe you have an idea

Thank you

Maglise

If you mod then you also need the menu as S5 so I'm not sure

Please change my framework - res.apk that was such a menu as in the first post , that is, change in bools.xml
<bool name="config_DisableHWKeyOptionMenu">false</bool>

and change it to

<bool name="config_DisableHWKeyOptionMenu">true</bool>

It's not that, this framework-res.apk file is the original file with the S4 9505 Plus 4.4.2 with the original GSM. Please change the "false" to "true". I tried the same, but the compression error pops up

No just copy the zip into your phone and boot to recovery and flash it. Nandroid backup is when in recovery you backup your device if incase something goes wrong you can restore it to the current state just as making image of PC as backup for recovery

I copied the root Explorer app to system / framework , the phone rebooted , but there is no difference after the start menu is the same why? Could it be a problem that I have changed from the original build.prop
name = jfltexx
device = jflte
to
name = kltetmo
device = klte
Could it be a problem that does not work 3dot menu?

Did you read what I wrote at all. Do you know how to flash a zip from recovery? I've already make a flashable zip so all you have to do is copy the zip into your phone and boot to recovery and flash it.
