Thanks a lot

That depends whether you downloaded signed theme or not. Signed themes can be installed as a regular app, unsigned themes have to be installed via a laptop.

Signed overlay can be changed like this:

Hi Guys,

Maybe this is a topic already discussed here but I was not able to find it...
I use the Music App in my Android 10 HU but folders do not show in order and not all of them appear... I mean, I would like to see all the structure of folders in my usb drive the same way I do with the OEM Media Player to select the music I want to listen to...

is there a way to solve this?
is there an app with large icons/buttons to use instead of the original one for off-line music playing organized in folders...?

Thanks a lot for your help and comments guys!!!

There is no fix to that issue. Chinese just don't know how to properly make a music app and keep ignoring user feedback regarding this issue.

Your best bet is to get a third party app, any music app really. But I don't think that anyone of them is made with car interface in mind - so no big buttons.

When I eventually finish my app, you will be able to use it with your controller and interface will be large enough for comfortable touch operation - but don't ask me when 😅

Hey Red,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I’m trying different option apps and I will put here my results... I Can’t wait to see your app in any case.

Thanks for the great help you provide to all this community!!!

Saludos!

only thing you can do is injecting a black image, but it won`t save you any boot time.

I don't want to save boot time, I just want to start with an animation instead of the image.

As kri already explained this is an integral part of Android boot up sequence and cannot be skipped.

You need to decompile KswPMedia.apk and you will find your strings in there.

I will be also doing a bit lighter theme with M colours based on the same icon designs.

Hi RedErik,

if you do the lighter M based Theme, is it possible to make also one with Radio and Android Auto. Because I don't use DVR.

It would be great.

Thanks a lot.

I'm super busy lately, but when I eventually get to making this lighter, M theme I will make it with these icons as well.

Can you suggest a program to decompile KswPMedia.apk? The ones i tried still show errors.

I cannot unpack an ota.zip with SUR, unsupported file error. How to solve this problem?

I use Jadx: https://github.com/skylot/jadx
Once you load up an apk to it, save it as gradle project and browse to res folder where you will find images and strings.

As for SUR it always worked for me, so I don't have any alternative to it. Make sure you have to most up-to-date version. Stupid question: what you are trying to unpack is definitely SD625 image, right?

Thank you, I gonna try it tonight.

Where can I find the last SUR version?
There are no stupid questions, yes that's right the last update SD625.

Also your 2.0 Theme with the radio instead of dvr would be great. When you have time for this, no hurry.

I like your work, really. Is it possible to give you something for your time?

When it's ready I will be also releasing full icon pack for both version, so people can mix and match for their own overlays.

And thanks for your words, this is much appreciated.
Always happy to accept little something 😅

So I tried with Jadx, load apk and save as gradle project. After that, what I have to do with the gradle file?

In Jadx I find the .xml file I want but can't edit and recompil it.
I think I don't know how to use Jadx.

SUR still not working for me. Error: unsupported file.

When you save this apk and gradle project, you can close the Jadx and just go the where the project is saved. Then you can browse all the files to navigate to your strings.xml file. There you will be able to modify it with any text editor. Once that's done you can use this file to create your own overlay. This is by far the easiest way to change things like graphics and texts. You could try to recompile the apk, but it's highly recommend that you do that under Linux with its tools. Windows is not really a good platform to perform these tasks.

As for the SUR, maybe the file got corrupted? Did you try to download it again? Or did you try any other update file?

When I save as gradle project, there is just one gradle file and I can't open it.

Do you mean we can create an overley on the text in an apk file?
I don't know how to do this.

Yes, I dowloaded SUR from the link that you have post but nothing changes but I gonna try with another OTA.

I believe there is a problem with java because I don't have this src folder.

I also think I understood that KswOverlay is not only for KswPLauncher.

Thank you very much for making me understand, now everything seems obvious.
