Hello everyone, In Lollipop Settings things are different, we used to add key in Settings_Header.xml file and link it with our category.xml file, Now in Lollipop Settings, you need to make a smali file and do some other changes, in this guide i explain to you how.
I Will Only Explain How To Link Category Tab With Category Content, You Need To Know How To Make The Content ( Already Posted, No Need To Re-Post ) .
What You Need :
Ability To Make In-Category Content .
PC.
Notes :
Smali File Name is up to you, Same for XML Section.
You Can Change Smali Path, You Can put it inside your own custom folder, or place it in other folder, it's up to you.
How-To :
Download Smali File From HERE.
Place your Category-Content XML File in res/xml folder .
Recompile Settings.
Sign It.
Decompile It.
Open Public.xml.
Search For Your Category_Content_XML_File_Name .
Open "Smali_File", Replace "0x22" with the hex code.
rename " Smali_File" to Your_Custom_Name.smali .
Create a new folder, name it "Your_Custom_Folder"
Copy the smali file to smali\com\android\settings\Your_Custom_Folder
Open the smali file again, replace "Your_Custom_Folder" with "Your_Custom_Folder" .
Replace "Your_Custom_Name" with "Smali_File"
Now,Navigate to res/values/strings.xml, Add the following, replace between >< with your text :
HTML:
<string name="your_string">Category Name</string>
Navigate to res/values/ids.xml, Add the following :
HTML:
<item type="id" name="your_id">false</item>
Finally, Open dashboard_settings.xml, add the code and change the values .
Open dashboard_categories.xml, located in res/xml folder.
Add This Line in the place you want, replace the
HTML:
<dashboard-tile android:icon="@drawable/your_icon" android:id="@id/your_id" android:title="@string/your_string" android:fragment="com.android.settings.your_category_folder.Your_Custom_Name" />
Don't Forgot to make your own Category icon, "your_icon", place it in drawable/yourdpi folder.
Examples :
Smali File Name : iamcategory.smali .
Custom Folder Name : myromsettings .
Drawable Name : custom_settings.png .
String : custom_settings_string .
ID : custom_settings_id .
Dashboard_categories code :
HTML:
<dashboard-tile android:icon="@drawable/custom_settings" android:id="@id/custom_settings_id " android:title="@string/custom_settings_string " android:fragment="com.android.settings.myromsettings .iamcategory" />
Example So you can understand, if it's hard to you, Don't forget the thanks .

Search use the strings i guess, So what's the problem ? when using the search in Settings you can't find your category ?

Here's the solution
Add this arrays.xml
HTML:
<array name="custom_category_settings_activity"><item>intent:#Intent;action=android.intent.action.MAIN;launchFlags=0x4000000;component=smalifolder/.SmaliName;end</item>
<item>@array/search_in_settings_customcategory</item>
<item>false</item>
</array>
HTML:
<string-array name="search_in_settings_customcategory">
<item>@string/your_category_string</item>
</string-array>
In First HTML, replace smalifolder with the smali file path, ex : com.android.settings.customfolder, and SmaliName with your smali file name .
In Second HTML, Replace "search_in_settings_customcategory" only replace customcategory with your category name, replace "custom_category_settings_activity" only replace "custom_category" with your custom category name.
Replace the strings with your Category & Sub-Category Strings like Main Section, App String, Sub-Menu String ..etc
Now you can search.

Forgot one thing, You need to add the main array, There are 2 arrays to add .. right ?
One with String, the other with smali .. the smali one is the main, copy the array name and search for "search_in_settings_activity_list"
Below that add your array like the provided ones.
yup
Bro your SUPER AWESOME! Worked well

Those are your problems right there...
Firstly, you cannot add anything to an apk, without adding a unique id in public.xml.
Secondly, you don't need to sign system apps.

You need to count in hex and add the new drawables, being careful not to have duplicate ids.
Also you need to edit the battery display and animation files so that the new images are used.
I recommend UOT Kitchen if you are not that experienced.

Hi !
i'm trying to add a keyboard to S8500XXLD2 . i do every thing but there is no "ImeReg.ini" !!!! i'm also notice that this FW have less *.ini file .
what should i do now?
Take it from other firmware.And Also not forget to change
OpEuroIme and SettingLanguage
still nothing ! (
i get "ImeReg.ini" , "OpAsiaIm" , "OpAsiaImSetting" and "SettingLanguage" from elite V4.0 and delete OpEuroIm(etc.) when i use these 4 files with elite Strings everything is good. but when i delete some language from Strings and edit the OpAsiaIm(etc.) a problem shows up: there is NO keyboard in message or anywhere else !
in OpAsiaIm & Setting(After editing) :
Code:
#OpAsiaIME
Auto_capitaliztion=0
Auto_period=0
EDITAREA_INPUT_TYPE=7
EDITAREA_INPUT_MODE=0
EDIT_TRACE_MODE=0
Voice_input=1
Voice_lang_id=1

#Supported Languages

Because XXLD2 has no OpAsia.so and OpAsiaSetting.so

Add those files and your CFW will be fine

i add these files before !
Don't know if this is necessary or not
But did you edit GeneralSoInfo.so.sig ??
It is in /SystemFS/Shp/data
You need to add/replace signatures of Asian files

Yes ! i do this too!
I offer you to base your CFW on JVLC2.in This firmware you don't need opAsia.so or opAsiaSetting.so
You need to change Lang packs and OpAsiaIme and Settinglanguage file

ignore the apktool dummy stuff, just treat them like any other existing resources
Okay ,another question if an id with ''APKTOOL_DUMMY'' is involve in smali,how should I know what specific object is to perform editing ?
workaround ?
maybe I should really ignore some of them.

If yoy want to change it you must find proper lines at strings.xml and edit them. This is known problem which is caused by touchpad fix (i think).

Fourth; remove or change "Usap layar untuk membuka kunci"
"Usap layar untuk membuka kunci" in english "Swipe Screen to Unlock"
