Android advanced tutorial: teaches you how to use Resflux to modify an application

Modifying an application is never a task that everyone can touch. You need to know about the configuration environment, compilation, and decompilation in advance. Fortunately, production tools are constantly moving forward. The emergence of Resflux simplifies the entire modification process. You don't need to configure the environment, or you don't know how to compile or decompile. As long as you have a little exploration spirit, you can easily modify the application on your mobile phone.

What is Resflux? Answer: One of the Xposed God-level modules. Yes, you don't have to doubt its power.

Note: Resflux supports Android 2.3.6 and later versions, but some of the ROM versions cannot be normally used in version 1.2. This can be properly installed, activated, and modified, but cannot be modified. If this problem exists, you can choose to Install Version 1.1.

Resflux Overview:

First, list the basic functions of Resflux:

• Change Application Color
• Replace the application icon and name
• Chinese applications or translation into other languages)
• ......

Since it is a powerful module, you don't have to expect this interface to be beautiful. On the contrary, a simple interface can add a bit of strength to the application.

"Laboratory" is the main function implementation area of Resflux. After opening, all applications will be displayed here, and the system applications and later installed applications will be distinguished in red and green. The following uses Google Keep as an example to teach you how to modify an application.

Change Application Color

Go to "Laboratory", find Keep, and click open. Loading takes a long time for the first time. To prevent the screen from going off, click Mapping resources ......」 In the Black Block area, clicking a place other than this area will exit the loading process, so please be patient and do not mess up.

Click "color" to display the filling color list of each part of the UI. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. You can try it again. Once you change it, you will understand the corresponding UI parts of these entries. Here, we will demonstrate how to modify "active_action_bar_background_color", use HoloColorPicker to pick up the color, and adjust the color Saturation), brightness Value), and Opacity, you can also directly enter the Color hexadecimal Code Color Hex Code), and click "Done.

No backup is required before modification. The modified entries are highlighted in green. to restore the original state, you only need to press the entry long or click "Reset 」. Generally, the modification does not need to be restarted and takes effect immediately. If the modification does not change, you can call up the latest application and clear it from it. See the comparison chart before and after modification.

Replace the application icon and name

I wrote an article titled how to change the icon: Android app icon beautification series, which describes how to change the icon and rename it. This time we will use Resflux to modify it.

Click "string", click "app_name", enter the name, and click "Done. If you are using a third-party starter such as Nova Launcher, if you use a third-party icon package, you can switch between the default icon package and the currently used icon package, so that the name is displayed normally.

Most of the application icons are in the drawable headers folder, but the Keep icon is placed in the folder starting with mipmap. Therefore, under the drawable tab of Resflux, we cannot find the Keep icon, therefore, it cannot be replaced. From this point of view, the application Resflux still has certain limitations and does not necessarily apply to all APK.

The application icon names generally start with ic_launcher or simply ic_launcher, or contain logos, icons, etc. It is much easier to remember this. Let's take the native text message application for an experiment. Click "drawable", find "ic_launcher_smsmsmms", and then select an image to replace. Note: The icon format must be PNG.

No backup is required before modification. The modified entries are highlighted in green. to restore the original state, you only need to press the entry long or click "Reset 」. Generally, the modification does not need to be restarted and takes effect immediately. However, after the icon is replaced, the effective delay is longer.

Chinese applications

All the things to be written in Chinese are under the string tab. All you need to do is to open them one by one and then translate them. Not necessarily how good English is, as long as you are willing to look up the dictionary. I am also a beginner, so I will give a brief description of the side bar of VSCO Cam. The original version on the left and the Chinese version on the right.

Export Function

In Export, all modified applications will appear here, except those that have been restored. If you want to back up a modified application or share it with others, just click Select and Export it by pressing "Export". The Export directory is sdcard/Resflux. If you want to clear the modification operation on the application, you can press the application name and select "Remove MOD 」.

Summary

For Resflux, I have described some of the more common and simple functions. Resflux has great potential. Due to the knowledge of the author, it cannot be further interpreted. We look forward to those advanced players who can explore the advanced features of Resflux and share their experience here.
