[size=+2]MIUI Launcher Mod Guide V1[/size]
Here are a few minor tweaks I've made in the stock Miui Launcher2.
You will find a few example dl links I whipped up quickly @ the bottom of the post. Due to the fact that there are 15-20 variants I did not make them all. (I.E.WallHack_StockFont_No Dock)
This post is more of a how-to/DIY, not a weekly stop as I have limited Miui time and will not be able to properly maintain a thread. That being said I will attempt to update some Launchers on future builds based on my availability.
Sampson's sticky covers the wallhack and Bold Font mod, and details decomp/recomp process with apktool.
So, no need to reinvent the wheel. Please go here as it is a great starting point. Post #3 and #4 discuss the Wallhack and Font Mod.
[size=+2]Layout Mods 1 & 1a[/size]
(icon and screen bar reallignment)
(icon and screen bar reallignment)
These mods realigns the icon spacing and screen bar. (aka Slide Bar in Froyo terms)
The gap between the first icon row and status bar will be reduced, and the screen bar will be relocated into the hotseat directly above the dock icons.
(Sorry for the poor screenshot. I always have my slide bar transparent)
There are 2 versions-1a is more suited for MIUI-Dev-Weather widget users as v1 places the widget a little to close to the status bar. V1 is better suited for the new Fancy Widget/Fancy Widget Pro.
Decompile Launcher2.
The Dimens.xml can be found after decompiling Launcher2.
Navigate to Launcher2/values/res/dimens.xml
Edit Dimens.xml to reflect below
Code:
<resources>
<dimen name="title_texture_width">120.0px</dimen>
<dimen name="button_bar_height">70.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="button_bar_height_portrait">70.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="icon_message_right_margin">11.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="album_project_height">80.0dip</dimen>
</resources>Modified lines.
Note~Workspace_widget_height_addition for Miui-Dev-Weather users.
Code:
<dimen name="slide_bar_margin_bottom">57.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="error_bar_height">35.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_padding_top">15.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_widget_height_addition">10.0dip</dimen>
(change the above DIP value to zero if you use Miui-Dev-Weather, otherwise the widget alligns too close to the status bar)
<dimen name="workspace_folder_height_addition">10.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="workspace_folder_padding_top">0.0dip</dimen>Edit lines, save and compile.
Extract updated resources and replace stock Launcher2 resources with your edited resources.
~If you have done smali edits for wallhack mod, extract modified classes.dex and add into stock Launcher2.
Add to a update.zip, Nandroid, cache, dalvik, flash.
If all went well you'll notice the screen bar will now be located inside your hotseat.
You'll also notice some icon layout modification. (the gap @ the top of screen will be smaller)
~I made this version specifically for suave icons as they are what generally I prefer.
If you're not happy with the mod and since you've came this far you might as well keep tweaking code until the mod fits your icons perfectly.
If the mod is not your cup of tea with your choosen icons, you can either
1. Nandroid. Gotta love them.
2. Re-edit the modified lines until the spacing suites your icons. (if your able to decompile)
3. Strap on the thinking cap, do some research, and get your machine set up for editing.
[size=+2]Minimalist~Hotseat Removal Mod[/size]
The next mod completely wipes out the hotseat.
It gives a very clean minimalistic look to the main homescreen if you're into text widgets (Simi-Clock/Folder, TypoClock, etc.)
The screen bar location is much lower as this mod completely removes the button bar. (aka~hotseat)
The location may bother some with numerous homescreens that frequently use the slide function. That being said, it is still present and fully functional.
Same process from above mod.
