Are you tired of unintended video calls because Samsung decided to swap the Voice call and Video call buttons on the S III?

Do you want it like it used to be? where the Voice call button is on the bottom left? Here you go!

Download
Download LF2 Deodexed CWM Zip Swapped Buttons
Download LF2 Deodexed CWM Zip Original Restore

Instructions
  • Copy zip to sdcard
  • Reboot into CWM Recovery (Install CWM if don't have it)
  • Install zip from sdcard
  • Reboot && Enjoy
Thanks
To Wanam for helping out with his Apkmanager for ICS and a lot of help with problems I had doing this.



Changes were done to an XML file, Swapped two lines in 3 different files.

Hello,
Sorry. This is not exactly about your mod, but I am trying to replace Video call button with message button on my Note 2 (4.1.2). I have been searching since several months, but all I found was that I need to change some xml file in SecContact.apk. I have decompiled SecContacts.apk, but I have no clue as to what to change.

Could you please give me a clue?

After you decompile the APK, you need to look for Layout files which define how the UI will be displayed. These are XML files.

You should study the structure of XML, then you should study how android uses layout files. The easiest way to find the correct Layout file IMO, is to find the Picture of the button you are trying to move, and by filename, find which files are referencing to it.

This is your clue ;)
