Poll: Trebuchet Editor

Ok. Gotta question. I've already mentioned that I'm willing to create an editor for Trebuchet.apk. My question is, should I allow the user to specify which images to remove( full editor ), or should I just provide a command that will automatically remove any image that isn't MDPI ?

I'd build the best tool possible (meaning ability to choose). Although, in the interest of expediency, you may choose to have the "one click" option, initially. Seems that would be easier to write. There's my two cents. But it's your baby.

I've got a big issue here. I've busted my ass writing this utility, tool, whatever you want to call it. And what do I get...

Just out of curiosity I typed "OOne ROM Editor" into the Google search box just to see what would come up. First two things, the XDA News write up on CM10 ROM Editor ( previous name ) and then this thread here. Cool I thought. Scroll down the page a little more and what do I see something in another language that I've since identified as Italian with OOne ROM Editor plainly in the search results. Well I click the link and get taken to a page within this thread here. Google translate translates the page and in the second post some one else is getting credit for my tool and who also repackaged it and reposted it on MediaFire. I'm f***in pissed...

OOne ROM Editor is "FREEWARE" but I STILL OWN IT.

If you want to spread the word about OOne ROM Editor, I'm greatful, but give them a link to this thread and if not that give them my download link.

That sucks.

This guy is the moderator of the P500 forum. You can send a message to the mods here.

Good luck!

I would edit the OP to reflect your wishes. Also the website. Don't know about legal recourse. But yeah, this really bites.

I've already edited the OP And will put some kind of notice on my web site too. The OP of the thread in the link I just posted is a moderator too.
My software hasnt been changed as far as I can tell, just repackaged into a .rar file.

That site has no posts after January 2. Last update to OOne was, on the 8th. At least they may not be getting much traffic.

Contacted a moderator on the site I linked in my previous post. He fixed everything himself. :good: So, I should be good now. Did a little more digging and found my software on a couple other blogs but the linked directly to my thread here at XDA.

I'd want to remove all images, not just xHDPI ones.

I recently found out that if I open trebuchet.apk as a zip, that it has several folders inside. I found it interesting that a lot of the images were those of controls for the launcher. When I investigated further, I found that these were the mdpi images that bill was talking about keeping.

The only thing that would get removed would be wallpapers. The remaining graphics, as you stated, are UI elements for Trebuchet so they gotta remain.

I'm considering a command for now, that will remove all wallpapers, so I can go and put up another update for OOne asap. I'm thing of then extending that to another command for non MDPI wallpapers, and then a custom command that will allow the user to pick and choose which wallpapers to keep or remove. :silly:

Oh, and waht do y'all think about me applying for RC ( Recognized Contributor ) ?

Yeah... essentially you can just delete whatever you want right within 7Zip (or whatever else you're using) without even extracting it.

OP Updated

I've updated the OP to clean it up a bit and make it a little more readable. I've also added a section on the best order of steps to take to get the best results from OOne ROM Editor in the OP.

Bill, what obstacles do you have to making this work for all phones? Other than testing and, you know, that pesky "job" thing.

None really. It's actually simply a matter of deleting or commenting out a small portion of the code that verifies that the selected zip is actually a ROM instead of just an ordinary zip file and then rebuilding the code. Building takes less than a minute

I'm personally not prepared to take this project to that level at the moment. But I do have plans to do that in the near future. I'd really like to work the bugs out and get to a concrete GUI and implement as many functions/features possible, etc...
