Skinning this android!

Un so um jesusfreke if I understand all this and I'm not shure I fully do, but if I take out thr framework-res.apk un pack it edit it pack it all back up and sign it with thr sighnapk.jar utility and throw it back on my phone which has been moded with your boot recovery and update it will work....well at least in theory????? What's the worst that could happen at a failed attemtp do ya think?

worst that could happen?
brick phone. and I dont mean zack morris.
But assuming you know what everything you just typed actually does, should be fine.

I think you also have to re-sign all the .apk files in the /system/app folder. I just tried this last night and it all worked. I modified the default background in framework-res.apk. So now my phone is using the default background image with ugly black lines that I painted on it in gimp (see screenshot)
The only caveat is that you may have to reset the phone once you re-sign all the apks (alt+w in recovery mode). You will lose all your installed applications and data, and you'll have to re-enter your google account and password when you boot back up.
Try it without reseting, and if your phone acts weird, then try a reset and it should smooth things back out. After that point, you should be able to modify framework-res.apk without having to reset again.
The worst* that will happen is that you can't boot the phone normally. If that happens, put the modified RC30 update back onto your sd card somehow (external reader, another phone that uses miniSD cards, etc), and then boot into recovery mode and re-apply the modified RC30 update.
*I make no guarantees you won't brick your phone of course . But I can't think of anyway you would by doing this.

This isn't exactly skinning but it might help you start:
I modified the Launcher.apk so I could have my own wallpaper in the wallpaper gallery and take out the ugly stuff. Im sure you could change other resources in this and possibly other apk's as well.
I downloaded the android source from here http://source.android.com/download then slightly changed the source for Launcher.apk and recompiled it (make Launcher). My modified Launcher.apk worked fine on the emulator so I remounted my G1's /system partition as rw and replaced /system/app/Launcher.apk with my version and removed Launcher.odex then rebooted (dont forget to save the originals if you try this). So far its been working great in JesusFreke's modified RC30.
A screenshot of the modified wallpaper gallery is here: http://x8x.us/android/device.png
The signed modified Launcher.apk is here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper.apk
A tarball of the modified source is here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper.tar.gz
You can browse the modified source directory here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper/
The only changes I made were to src/com/android/launcher/WallpaperChooser.java and the res/drawable/wallpaper_*.jpg files.
Hopefully this will help you make similar changes on your own, at least until Google comes up with an easier method for changing skins and such. And maybe a wallpaper gallery thats not static!
Being able to do things like this are what I was hoping for when I bought the G1, sucks that they won't allow people to choose to enable root.

I just saw a detailed post from Living_Sword over at modmygphone on how to make the re-signing thing work. Thought y'all might be interested

lol I never ran away with your idea. I acknowledge it as yours and thanked you for the idea in the original post here.
I know we are all trying to get the best out of our G1 and stealing ideas isn't the right way to go about it. Hope I cleared all misunderstandings

I didn't mean that in a bad way I saw your article and was like "oh cool! He got it to work."

just to clarify...
the default wallpapers you see in the Wallpaper Gallery activity are embedded in Launcher.apk?
i always thought it read some directory of images.
i guess that explains why the process for converting images from the Pictures activity requires crop/resizing and the gallery activity doesn't.

If i am just modifying a pic (.png) in the apk, does the apk still have to be resigned?

yes, it does need to be resigned.

Modifying Wallpaper Gallery
ive been trying to find a way to add my own wallpapers to the gallery and it seems its no easy task, isnt there a way to redirect the path to make it look in a directory? im a linux noob (especially on devices like this) so if im asking a dumb question i dont know that i am
also.. if the only route is to modify the launcher package, is it possible to add as many as you want? or is there a limit to how many you can put in/replace?

best bet is to modify the apk (i think it's launcher but it may be framework-res) but as far as i know you can only replace the wallpapers there unless you wanna try some hex edits

im trying to create my own Launcher.apk so i can include my own wallpapers into the Wallpaper Gallery. Everytime i type "make Launcher" (im in the /packages/apps/ dir) it just says:
make: Nothing to be done for `Launcher'.
so i figured i would try going into the Launcher dir, then trying it... then i get this:
make: *** No rule to make target `Launcher'. Stop.
how do you compile these things? ive also tried opening it in eclipse with the android plugin but when i try to compile it tells me to fix like 300 something errors first.

Combining different MODs

I applied a theme, and a few of JChi's mods to my ROMs, and was wondering if I could put them all together and either do a .bat or .zip?
I'm not sure about pushing files because of the theme, etc, (which would be done in bat)
Any help is appreciated.
no search results for
combine mod
combining zips

which mods do you want done?

I'm assuming you're asking, cause you'll zip it up for me, and it is appreciated, but is there a thread/tutorial in this? Do I just need to "sign" it?
1. Stock_Espresso - on DC updater
2. JChi - No End Call Button MOD
3. JChi - No Clock in Taskbar
4. Vanilla Lockscreen
5. Custom boot that I have
Thanks for the response!

THanks again

Awesome, I had some trouble with the syntax in the update script but got some help from some good posts, and a few failed attempts!
I think I got it working, my custom bootscreen is currently on, but for some reason I think it moved my dalvik-cache from my sd to ROM, not sure how that is going to work out...haha.
See if it all worked once I'm booted.

yeah, update scripts give me fits sometimes. I normally "borrow" mine from others and then modify them to fit my needs. But then, I'm a cheater

Well I messed something up because it tries to load espresso and it just restarts my boot screen again...haha.
I did have a number of failed flash attempts so I'm going to restore my nandroid and restart, make sure we're good, then re-flash my update.zip and see if it fixes itself.
I tihnk it could be the dalvik cache is too much (considering how many apps I have installed, etc.) and its causing problems.
Not sure what would have reset the DC.conf file....Oh well...here's to troubleshooting!
UPDATE
Got it up and running.
First time I've zipped and signed files. Now I just have to get the courage to edit and make themes! LOL.

Easy way to change your bootscreen *Updated 4/11/11* Pushboot 3.0!!!

Well, people keep posting in this thread so I figured I would do a very very large update. I know its been 7 months, and for that I apologize, been very busy and this wasn't a priority.
Now, its one version of Pushboot for everyone. Load it up, follow the directions and you should be set.
Remember to start you need:
-HTC Drivers installed
-A working bootanimation.zip
-An mp3 file if you want boot sound
-Your phone plugged in to the usb port (lol)
-Only ONE .zip and/or .mp3 in the folder containing pushboot
Other than that, I included everything needed to make this work.
Any issues let me know and I can try to help you out!
And leave feedback and if you like this, press the thanks button on this post =D

I changed PushBoot so everything needed is included.
Basically, upzip, put your zip file (and if you want an mp3 file) into the folder
plug in your phone
open pushboot.bat
follow the prompts
(make sure that when the phone goes into recovery that you wait till it connects to your pc before continuing)
and you should have a custom boot animation and boot sound!
Any problems, let me know
I also included the dancing android bootscreen and the nexus one bootscreen.

i'm getting no audio on pushboot2 and i'm fully rooted. at the end i just see echo then echo then the program closes. no reboot is done to my phone.

well first of all I JUST reuplaoded a new zip, so get that (forgot to hide all the random code)
also, I assume you put an mp3 in the folder right?
and to reboot you have to choose reboot in your recovery on the phone

Keep up the good work, I like the ease of the process.

Re: Easy way to change your bootscreen *updated for fullroot!*
On your computer in the same folder as pushboot.bat is where the bootanimation.zip and SPC_animation_final.mp3 has to be.

Very useful, thank you very much. timothydonohue: lol.

OP you have any composed boot screens we could try out with this trick? I mean I'd like to see if I can follow your steps with a good working bootimg. before I go trying to make some of my own....baby steps for me

Could someone make this a bootanimation?

Alright, I have several friends who want the same thing, so it would not be just for me (and it might convince a few people to get an Android phone ). But if someone could make this a bootanimation (AOSP, Landscape), I would be ETERNALLY grateful. I would not be able to compensate you financially, but if there would be anything I could do for you all you would have to do is ask*
So, can anyone help?

I'm on Sense, and I tried it with my Rom and it worked/ran like a champ. It's in Landscape. It's late so I didn't try do any audio with it, but if you wanted to, you could probably easily pull that song from the video and simply rename it/push it. IF it doesn't work, it's most likely because I messed up the desc.txt.. Let me know and I will try to fix it ASAP.
Anyways, let me know if it works.. Going to bed.

Edit: it didn't work

I'll get it working for you, it's an easy fix. It's working on my phone right now. I actually forgot to replace the one I did last night for you with my original one. Rebooted my phone this morning and your boot animation played.
Working on it now, and I'm going to flash over to CM7 really quick to make sure it boots like it should.
Edit - http://www.mediafire.com/?z47q232h8h4tfia I accidentally uploaded it with the Sense desc.txt. It's fixed in that version. Also, on my Sense Rom when I ran it, it went through the entire animation fine and looped the last ending I have it set to. On the empty CM7 rom I tested it on, it booted really quickly because it had virtually nothing to load, so it didn't make it through the entire animation. Let me know if it makes it through all of it on yours.

Thank you!
I have the MP3 for it as well. What do I rename it to, and how can I use ADB to push the zip and mp3 to my phone?

I believe you rename it to SPC_Audio_Final.mp3 but I'll have to double check to make sure. I never use Audio on mine.
If you want, you can find root explorer and then use that to move the files throughout the phone. It's an application for android. ADB will work as well, there are plenty of tutorials as to how you set it up.
The commands are..
ADB push bootanimation.zip /System/media
That should be where yours is located. If you find that root explorer application, you can do it all from your phone through the menus. Just copy/paste. The audio file should go to the same place as the boot animation.

[ROM] Custom Stock Samsung Conquer 4G FC17 Rooted With Tweaks

Since people continue to only download part 1, even though I've explained fully that you MUST download BOTH parts before extracting, I have now added this at the beginning of the post, so hopefully people will actually follow the directions properly. DOWNLOAD BOTH PARTS BEFORE EXTRACTING, IT WILL NOT EXTRACT PROPERLY ONLY DOWNLOADING ONE PART!!!
This is a custom stock ROM for the Samsung Conquer 4G that has many advantages over a completely stock image. It was developed by me, Brien Johnson of XHPCreations aka brienj.
The link to the files for the ROM are at the very end of this post, but I recommend you read the FULL post while downloading the files.
- Your phone will be rooted.
- The complete FC17 update that shouldn't nag you to update to FE16. (may help to delete the FE16 update in the cache if you already had it pushed to your phone)
- Clockword Mod Recovery for making easy backups and restores.
- Completely Deodexed and ZipAligned for better performance or being able to hack further.
- All bloatware removed, i.e. SprintID
- Stock Launcher replaced by ADWLauncher. (the stock Launcher could not be deodexed, but ADWLauncher is much better and more robust)
- Debuggable.
- Custom power menu that includes, reboot, reboot into recovery, and reboot into download. (Currently the reboot into download does not work, will try to get it to work if possible in the future)
- Custom battery icons that show the actual percentage of battery power left.
- ICS Fonts for better appearance of text in phone's menus.
- Memory and network tweaks for best performance and battery savings.
- Support for running scripts on boot in init.d folder. I've included one script to help sdcard performance, feel free to add any more that you want.
- Support for standard bootanimation.zip files.
Along with these tweaks I will give instructions on improving the network performance further and changing the boot sound, as well as give links to useful programs and hacks that can be added on this phone.
I suggest only using this ROM if you have not successfully applied the FE16 OTA Update to your phone. If you have a stock FE16 phone, it MAY still work however. I can not guarantee this ROM will work for you, and I am not liable for any damage to your phone if you try to install this ...
Here are the instructions to install the custom stock ROM on a Samsung Conquer 4G with the FC17 update. It is installed in two parts, the first is if you do not already have Clockwork Mod Recovery installed, in which case follow the Odin instructions. If you have installed the CWMR already from my instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610534 then go ahead and follow the CWMR instructions.
Odin installation instructions (Use if you do not have CWMR already installed):
To enter Download Mode on the phone, make sure the phone is turned off and plugged into the wall charging. You should also make sure the phone has a good charge on it. Then turn the phone on by pressing the volume down and camera button and holding them while pressing the power button for a few seconds.
Unzip all the files on your computer and follow these steps.
1) Enter download mode on the phone and plug it into your computer.
2) Open up the Odin program in Windows, run as administrator if on a version of Windows that has such a feature, such as Windows 7. Sorry, there is no Odin for Linux based systems that I know about.
3) Press the OPS button and select the SPH-D600_FC17_CWM_XHP1.ops file.
4) Press the PDA button and select the SPH-D600_FC17_CWM_XHP1.tar.md5 file.
5) Press the Start button, the images should install and the phone reboot.
Congrats, your phone now has my Custom FC17 ROM with a CWM Recovery.
CWMR installation instructions (Use if you have CWMR installed):
Unzip all the files on your computer and follow these steps.
1) Copy the clockworkmod folder and merge it with the folder already on your SD Card. If you do not already have that folder on the SD Card, you may not have CWMR already installed, or you've never made a backup before with it.
2) Boot into CWMR by holding the volume down button and the power button while pugged into the wall charger, or by using the adb command "reboot recovery".
3) Select the menu item "backup and restore".
4) Select the menu item "restore".
5) Select the restore named "SPH-D600_FC17_CWM_XHP1".
6) Select the menu item "reboot now".
Congrats, your phone now has my Custom FC17 ROM with a CWM Recovery.
Now that the phone has the custom ROM, here are some things you can add or do to further improve performance on the phone if you wish.
First of all I recommend installing AdFree, Terminal Emulator, Titanium Backup, and if you wish ScriptManager, which can all be found on the Google Play Store. I can help you find them if needed.
For better 3G follow these steps (enter commands into Terminal Emulator or use the adb shell):
Type this command: getprop ril.MSL
It should show your MSL. Write it down.
Open the dialer and dial ##3282##
Enter your MSL
Click on "Others"
Click on "Multimedia"
Change the settings as follows:
RTSP Proxy Address: 0.0.0.0
RTSP Proxy Port: 0
HTTPPD Proxy Address: 0.0.0.0
HTTPPD Proxy Port: 0
The stock settings are:
RTSP Proxy Address: rtsp.vog.sprintpcs.com
RTSP Proxy Port: 554
HTTPPD Proxy Address: pd.vog.sprintpcs.com
HTTPPD Proxy Port: 8085
Here is how to change the boot sound:
First of all get the "poweron.snd" file from the /system/etc/ folder. It is a raw sound file which can be opened in any audio editor, such as Cool Edit Pro.
Here are the settings to select when opening it up in Cool Edit Pro for example:
Sampling Rate: 441000
Channels: Stereo
Resolution: 16-bit
Data Formatted As: 16-bit Intel PCM
Offset Input Data By: 0
Now you can listen to the boot sound in the audio editor. You can change it to your liking and save it in the same format. Remember to keep it a RAW audio file with the settings above. Replace the "poweron.snd" file with your edited audio file, retaining the same filename.
To replace the boot animation, you can find the "bootanimation.zip" file in the /system/media/ folder. Replace it with a bootanimation file of your liking. I've included a custom bootanimation that was modified to match the custom boot logo I made. I made all of it from a popular bootanimation of which I can not remember where I found it. I am not taking any credit for the original bootanimation, I just modified it to say Samsung Conquer 4G at the top and to speed up and spin faster at the end. If anyone remembers the original creator, I will add a link to it.
A great cpu tuning program that works on the phone (although won't save settings on boot for some reason), is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584508. From the screenshots below you can see that the phone will last almost 3 days without this program, although the other screenshot was using the program setting of PowerSave and after 20 1/2 hours it was still at 70%, but I also didn't use the phone, I just had it locked. However, when running in PowerSave mode, the phone will be very sluggish, so is only to use if you are just waiting for phone calls or just texting.
These are all the tweaks I have for now. I hope you enjoy the ROM.
I hate to bring this up, but if you like this ROM, please consider making a donation. I don't do this just for donations, I enjoy helping everyone out, but I was in a near fatal accident over two years ago and can no longer work. If you find yourself enjoying this ROM, please click on the Donate button under my name, I would really appreciate it. I can try to improve the ROM over time, but please remember that this ROM is strictly made for performance and battery life and to give you more control over your phone. I don't plan on doing any theming, and most people do ICS themes and such. Personally I hate the look of the ICS themes and the only thing I've taken from ICS, is the fonts, which I do like and look much better than the original. If you want some fancy theme, or mods like Beats Audio, I'd suggest looking for another ROM. If you want performance and longer battery life, I think you'll enjoy mine.
Take care and thank you for trying my ROM.
You must download BOTH of these files before you can extract them. After downloading them, put them both in the same folder, and open the part1.rar file up, and you can then extract the files properly. If you only download one of the two files, the files will be corrupted or not work:
Here is the link to the first file of the ROM - SPH-D600_FC17_CWM_XHP1.part1.rar
Here is the link to the second file of the ROM - SPH-D600_FC17_CWM_XHP1.part2.rar
I apologize for having to split it into two files, but I have a maximum of 200MB I can upload, as I don't have a premium account at MediaFire.

Dude, your awesome.
So glad to see this!

This is John Smith from Ting forums by the way.
Good job man. Gonna download asap.

You were able to install my other one, so you have CWMR already, right? If so, I recommend just updating that way as it's of course much easier.

Thanks for your hard work, looks great...

Sure do, so yup thats my plan.
What do you think about "Mobile Odin" Would it also work for flashing this? for information sake atleast.

It probably would. Perhaps it uses the flash_image binary to flash the images properly, but I don't know for sure. You'd have to make sure you give it the correct names of the mtd partitions though, or it would know the correct names for them, but that's if it uses the flash_image binary. You can always flash these yourself with the flash_image binary using the mtd table I listed. If you have CWMR though, I'd just do it that way.
It doesn't list our phone in the compatible phones, which leads me to believe it only knows the partition tables for the phones listed. Perhaps if you gave them our partition table, they could make it work though.

You're welcome. Hard work is an understatement though. When I had my accident, my head was split wide open from being struck. As a result, I have serious brain damage, although I have retained most of the smarts I had before the accident, which helps. However, it takes me months to do something like this, whereas before it would have taken maybe a week or two at the most, heck, probably a couple of days to be honest. I can not concentrate, I have to do one thing at a time, and I always forget things, even something that happened a few minutes ago. This is why I can not even work, as I can not be in a competitive work environment. Heck, even posting a post will take me close to 5 or 10 minutes, from fixing all the transposed letters, double-printing of letters, grammar, etc. The first post of the thread took me about 3 hours to finish and completely type up. It may appear from my posts, that I am smart, which I don't want to brag, but I believe I am, but because of my TBI, it's not what it appears to be, as you only see the final result after all my editing. I used to hide my problem, but I am not ashamed to admit it any more.

Thanks man this is really fast. I did a test and left my phone locked and it started out at 64 than 2 hours later it was 61!! Really good battery life.

Came here from the Ting forums. I just had to remember my username I created way back when I still had an XV6800. Those were the days!
Anyway, I tried downloading part 2 a few times, and every time I extract the files, it tells me the md5 file is broken. Anyone else having this issue?

You have to have part 1 and part 2 in the same folder, then open part1. It is a two part rar file, so uses both files. By opening just the second file, it won't all be there. But both files contain the whole package, you just need to open part 1, as long as you have part 2 as well.
I had to split the rar file up because Mediafire only allows me to upload a maximum filesize of 200MB, since I don't have a premium account. I've updated this info right before the download links.

Well that's great to hear it works ok for you and yes, the battery life, even without the cpu tuner program is FAR better than original. At least it has been for me. I can run an intensive program with WiFi and the phone would still last close to 10 - 12 hours. That was the whole goal of my ROM, was for longer battery life, since it sucks when stock, and I think I succeeded at it.

Ok, thanks. I was just a little worried because part 1 extracted fine, and part 2 always gave me an error, giving me the part 2 md5 as a 0 byte file.
I've never rooted through android before, so I want to make sure I've got everything squared away before I begin.

Good to hear you are no longer ashamed, plus theres no reason to be. Especially since you can whip up great stuff like this. among other things youve done.
I havent flashed it yet, as I am backing up a lot of stuff, and trying to backup all the linux stuff I installed via opkg package manager using "BotBrew", which is getting a bit complicated. Plus I have to make a nand too beforehand.
So I should be able to get to it soon. Im excited.
But by the way, now that you have the Partitioning table layout mapped out, I wonder what we could do to further expand our internal memory/storage? I wonder if we could double partition our SD cards like some others do on other devices? They basically just format their SD with FAT32 in the first (which will be the extended internal), and the next being Ext4 for SD card storage. Seems like we should be able to do the same like anyone else, especially since you got that nice bit of info through your troubles, on the partitioning.
What do you think on this position?
Take care Brien.

I am "new" to doing all of this type of work. I used to strictly do game hacking/modding, not stuff to cheat, but to make the games better and more fun. Late last year I started getting into the Android systems and seeing what I could do. I'm sure if I looked into this stuff I could figure something out eventually, but not sure how long it would really take me. This seems like something that is similar between all phones, so maybe you should see what can be done already. If it's a phone specific thing, then one of us will have to do the dirty work. I just don't know.

I've had that happen before. Here is the solution, but I'd try recopying it to your sdcard another time to make sure it was copied correctly - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114
Also, are you sure you downloaded BOTH of the rar files as I said in the OP, and it did not give you any errors when extracting the files?
Also, try renaming the name of the folder to only include alphanumeric symbols.

I got an error when extracting the files too. I extracted both the files to the same folder so I don't know what the problem is and I extracted the first part first and the the second. I don't know what it is

I got it to work and the Rom on my phone. Looks good! Good job. I would like to add some themes if anyone has some or knows how I could do it myself.

Sure, if that's what you want. Like I said in my original post, this ROM was made to be practical, not to be fancy. It does have the ICS fonts in it, which look a bit nicer though.
