How To Backup APK Using ES File Manager Latest Version Now You Cant See The Old App Manager Menu Item

Along with bug fixes,performance improvements and other feature enhancements the ES team brought a modified Fast Access menu on the recent version of ES File Explorer File Manager. In the previous version of ES File Manager there was an App Manager menu item in the Fast Access menu, Which is used to mange User and System apps. The App Managers apk backup feature is very useful as we can backup and reinstall the app later without downloading from Google Play. One of my old post titled "How To Backup Android Apps As APK using ES File Explorer ?" mentioned the steps do the same.

As the recent version modified the Fast access menu, now you cant find the App Manger there. Its renamed to APP and placed in Library menu. The New APP is same as the old App Manager and which can do all the old stuffs like Uninstall, backup, etc. The process of backup apk is same and I included the complete steps in this post.

Backup Android App Using ES File Explorer File Manager

1. Open ES File Explorer - Download
2. Tap on Fast Access icon or option soft key or swipe from left to right.
3. In Fast Access menu tap on Library then APP.



4. In the APP grid long press on the desired app you wish to back up and finally tap on Backup.
(If you wish to backup multiple apps, just tap on other apps too)



Thats it.. You can grab the backed up app apk from /sdcard/backups/apps/.

The default power menu in Samsung Galaxy S3 is limited to Power off , Data network mode, Flight mode, Restart and sound profiles. So if we want to boot our Samsung Galaxy S3 to download or recovery mode there is no one click option rather than the key combination method.

- This mod is only for Galaxy S3 with Stock Rom.

How to add reboot recovery and bootloader options in Power menu

So lets Start

Required
1-apktool
2-notepad++
3-some brains



STEP-1

Decompile Framework-res.apk

goto to res/vlaues/arrays.xml

and add these lines at the end

Code:

 <string-array name="reboot_options">
 <item>@string/reboot_normal</item>
 <item>@string/reboot_recovery</item>
 <item>@string/reboot_bootloader</item>
 </string-array>
 <string-array name="reboot_actions">
 <item>now</item>
 <item>recovery</item>
 <item>bootloader</item>
 </string-array>

now goto res/values/strings
and add these lines at the end

Code:

 <string name="reboot">Reboot</string>
 <string name="reboot_normal">Reboot</string>
 <string name="reboot_recovery">Recovery</string>
 <string name="reboot_bootloader">Bootloader</string>

goto add the ic_lock_reboot.png which i have i provided in the resources attached below this post to drawablw-hdpi folder

so before compiling the framework-res.apk follow erorcuns guide to properly recompile framework-res.apk

once recompile is done ....decompile again to get the HEX IDs

STEP-2

decompile android.policy.jar

goto classoutcomandroidinternalpolicyimpl

and add the 3 smalis files which i provided in the resources attached below

Now option classoutcomandroidinternalpolicyimplGlobalAc tions.smali

and find these lines and add the red marked lines between them

Code:

 .line 235
 iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mItems:Ljava/util/ArrayList;

 new-instance v1, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$2;

 const v2, 0x1080030

 const v3, 0x10400fa

 invoke-direct {v1, p0, v2, v3}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$2;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

 invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Ljava/util/ArrayList;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

 .line 213
 move-object/from16 v0, p0

 iget-object v1, v0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mItems:Ljava/util/ArrayList;

 new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;

 const v3, 0x1080827

 const v4, 0x104060b

 move-object/from16 v0, p0

 invoke-direct {v2, v0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

 invoke-virtual {v1, v2}, Ljava/util/ArrayList;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

 .line 260
 iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mItems:Ljava/util/ArrayList;

 iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mAirplaneModeOn:Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$ToggleAction;

 invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Ljava/util/ArrayList;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

now we need to assign the Hex ids as per ur Public.xml

NOTE: the hex ids might be different from mine and yours so be careful while comparing

new as per the above changes in GlobalActions.xml

assign the ids as below

<public type="drawable" name="ic_lock_reboot" id="0x01080827" />

Code:

 new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;

 const v3, 0x1080827

<public type="string" name="reboot" id="0x0104060b" />

Code:

new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;

 const v3, 0x1080827

 const v4, 0x104060b

Now option up classoutcomandroidinternalpolicyimplGlobalAc tions$11.smali

find and replace the following

@line 70
<public type="string" name="reboot" id="0x0104060b" />

Code:

const v3, 0x104060b

@line 90
<public type="array" name="reboot_options" id="0x0107003b" />

Code:

const v3, 0x107003b

@line 105
<public type="string" name="ok" id="0x0104000a" />

Code:

 const v2, 0x104000a

@line 147
<public type="bool" name="config_sf_slowBlur" id="0x0111000b" />

Code:

const v3, 0x111000b

now open up classoutcomandroidinternalpolicyimplGlobalAc tions$11$2.smali

@line 59
<public type="array" name="reboot_actions" id="0x0107003c" />

Code:

const v2, 0x107003c

save it and recompile android.policy.jar


now push all the files into ut phone...will have the new Advanced reboot options

How To Get A Unity Like HUD Searchable Menu In Xubuntu Ubuntu MATE Linux Mint More

And in Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon:

i3-hud-menu works with GTK2, GTK3 (but not client-side decorated apps) and Qt4 applications.

Important: issues and limitations

• it doesnt work with client-side decorated applications;
• it doesnt work with Firefox or Thunderbird;
• it doesnt work with Qt5 apps (make sure appmenu-qt5 and libdbusmenu-qt5 are not installed or else you wont have a menu for Qt5 apps, such as VLC in Ubuntu 16.04 - if you do install those packages, you can use the menu via i3-hud-menu, but the actual menu wont be visible in the application);
• using it, LibreOffice no longer has a menu if the "libreoffice-gtk" package is installed - this package is used for GTK+ integration (though using i3-hud-menu, you can search the menu, but actually using the menu items doesnt work for some reason);
• to get i3-hud-menu to work with Java swing applications, youll need JAyatana;
• probably more.

gsettings set com.canonical.unity-gtk-module gtk2-shell-shows-menubar false

Install and configure i3-hud-menu

sudo apt install python3 python-dbus dmenu appmenu-qt unity-gtk2-module unity-gtk3-module wget

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/jamcnaughton/i3-hud-menu/archive/master.tar.gz
tar -xvf master.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /opt/i3-hud-menu
sudo cp -r i3-hud-menu-master/* /opt/i3-hud-menu/

export APPMENU_DISPLAY_BOTH=1
if [ -n "$GTK_MODULES" ]
then
 GTK_MODULES="$GTK_MODULES:unity-gtk-module"
else
 GTK_MODULES="unity-gtk-module"
fi

if [ -z "$UBUNTU_MENUPROXY" ]
then
 UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=1
fi 

export GTK_MODULES
export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY

How To Add Application Shortcut To Desktop Context Right Click Menu in Windows

Do you want to add your favorite application to desktop context menu ? If your answer is yes, then this post is for you. There are many third party software available to do the same, but I am not writing about them.

You can add any application to your desktop context menu by simply editing your registry. Just follow the simple steps to get it worked !

4. Right click on the shell node click New > Key



5. Now name the newly created Key to your apps name or anything you wish, because this name will show on the context menu of desktop. I am named it Notepad++.



6. Now right click on the newly created key ( in my case NotePad++ ) and click New > Key



7. Name it to command



8. Now Right click on (Default) of command key and select Modify



9. Now Copy the full path of your favorite application to the Value data textfield.... Click OK
