The Blue Echo
Made by Pappa Smurf, ported to our rom from Leadfoot
http://www.mediafire.com/?buacudiq2if9kti
Must install metamorph from market before using these themes.
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ODEX VERSION!
"to apply. simply download then put on SD card in folder called AndroidThemes. then go to metamorph click "start checks" then "unzip new theme" click on "TheBlueEcho" zip file. then just do it like the other theme. it can go right over it no need to wipe or recover anything. thats the great thing bout metamorph just as always make sure you nand backup just in case." -leadfoot9281

Red Dawn Theme:
By Pappa Smurf, converted to our rom by Leadfoot:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tuc8xlwb61e98wm
after you metamorph this call sombody without a picture, if the little android guy is blue and you want him red metamorph this.
http://www.mediafire.com/?71tw4etfslasd96
for the market- NOT A METAMORPH FILE MUST BE PUSHED WITH ADB
**EDIT ... took market down til I can fix.
i would recommend doin a nand backup before pushing this. i pushed it 4 times to my phone. 3 of those times it worked fine. the one time it didnt work i have no idea why as i didnt do anything different.
to push this go to adb shell and type :
mount -o rm,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
now back put of shell and put the Vending.apk into the push folder. now you will type :
cd push
adb push HtcDialer.apk /system/app
....................now your done.
A majority of this theme is from papasmurfs RedDawn with a few tweaks of my own and some random icons i have ran across place to place. i cant take the credit for this other than i test each thing and make sure it functions and get it to work for a stock rom (like this one) and simply put it together.
BTW: no FC's for contacts or contact widgets on this one. thats what took so long lol.... only issue i know of is setting up speed dial. other than that, all of it works. been using it a few days now. If you run into anything let me know and i will see what i can come up with. - Leadfoot

This is where the flashable add ons will be soon as well.
***Updaters***
Do not update over previous rom! Backup/Nandroid, and then wipe and flash!
***Thanks N Applause***
leadfoot - thank you for porting that theme!
dsixda - Without your kitchen this wouldn't be possible. F*ing clean software man.
Darchstar - For the Kernel. Awesome man awesome!
Collin_ph - Any extra battery life is great!
JsChiSurf - Love your dialer. Sry I didn't ask before adding it to this rom but didn't figure it would be a big deal.
MrDanger - Your rom is lookin' good. And thanks for helping my users out here and there too.
KyleIsTheBeast - For my first rom ever flashed. Bittersweet was good while it lasted and hope to see you dev'ing in the future.[/SIZE]

***Issues found!***

***How to check the MD5 Hash***
Windows (and mac) users:
1. download Hashtag, a free md5 file hash check utility from here: http://beeblebrox.org/hashtab/
2. After downloading and installing, just right click on any file. On Windows, select properties and you will see a new "File Hashes" tab. On Mac select "File Hashes" (on 10.5 the "File Hashes" menu item will be found under the "More" submenu). This is will start HashTab providing more or less the same view that you see on Windows. This File Hashes window displays all the hashes for the file.
3. Check the hash to make sure it's the same big jumble of numbers and letters as the hash above. If it is not the same, the download is bad and you should redownload the file.
Linux users:
1. go into your linux terminal or shell (not the adb shell)
2. navigate to the folder that contains the rom (mine is in downloads, so you would type 'cd Downloads')
3. for my rom, type 'md5sum SouthPawV1.5Final.zip
4. the output should look as shown:
Code:
OUTPUT_ZIP$ md5sum SouthPawV1.5Final.zip
F0D9E1F279FA7B0FA8636616499CD0C8 SouthPawV2.0-Beta.zip
[email protected]:~/Desktop/kitchen/OUTPUT_ZIP$
Installation:
***for newbies, see the second post under "How to root/maximizing my rom experience"***
1. Nandroid
2. Wipe
3. Flash
4. After install see configuring a2sd for more memory on the phone and JIT/Swap configuration in 2nd post! (and possibly a faster phone if you have a class 4 or higher memory card)
Bloated apps can be re-downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?7ektxbiq0h65ftr
***Radio***
Also removed the Radio.img file. If you want the file you can download it here:http://www.mediafire.com/file/u2z11ar9ga6qn3a/CSouth_Radio_Signed.zip
MD5 Hash: 9157b63be585abef5812f71691cc4899
*You do not need to be flashing this file if it's already updated because that is the one file that CAN brick your phone if it's corrupted. ALSO if you ARE downloading this file, CHECK THE MD5 hash! Instructions above. It could mean the difference between a happy updated phone and a BRICKED phone.*
***How to root and Maximizing your rom experiance***
I hold no responsibility for any actions resulting from these links and/or this post.
How to root your CS Hero. Read first post, it describes everything
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581869
***How to flash any rom***
After rooting your phone to install any rom (not just mine)
1. backup everything if you have not already done so, you will lose EVERYTHING on the phone itself, (except for everything on the memory card)
1a. download my rom or another rom (as long as it's for your phone and radio)
1b. place the rom in the root directory (or the main directory rather) of your sdcard.
2. Turn the phone off
3. While holding the home button, press the power button until you see the recovery mode menu. (I am using clockwork mod 2.5.0.1 so depending on your recovery YMMV. You should use the instructions for your specific recovery system. They are using Darch's version of AmonRA's recovery, This is covered in the first post on that link as well.)
If you are using Clockwork Mod, you can use these instructions:
4. go to wipe data/factory reset and go to yes to start the wipe.
5. scroll down to wipe cache partition, and confirm
6. scroll down to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
7. After that, scroll down to "install zip from sdcard"
8. select choose zip from sdcard
9. select the rom file from the memory card (mine will be SouthPAW!1.5-Final) and confirm to flash it.
10. Once the flash is done, reboot the phone. It's going to take between 5 and 10 minutes to boot the first time so be patient, and don't mess with it. After you get in you are golden, and nothing else is to be done. You have made it..
***how to maximize your battery performance***
This rom comes with an overclocked kernel that automatically sets itself to maximize battery life. But there are things you can set to make the kernel do what you want
***Kernel parameters***
You don't have to use any overclocking software to set the speed of the processor with this kernel Here is the parameters:
Syntax: echo "(speed in hz)" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Example:
echo "768000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sets the cpu to max out at 768mhz
echo "710000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sets the cpu to max out at 710mhz
Also...
If your gps quit working for some reason do this:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo "NORMALIZED_SLEEPER" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
echo "NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS" > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To change the cpu governors for this kernel (the built in ones) here is how:
Type this to find the available governors:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The ones available are:
conservative
ondemand
userspace
powersave
performance
interactive
And then to change the governor, you type this:
echo "nameofgovernor" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I haven't found full explanation on ALL the governors, but I guess it's a no brainer, however here is the info I pulled off of the kernel thread:
(For Interactive governor)
This governor is designed for latency sensitive workloads, UI interaction for
example.
Advantages:
+ significantly more responsive to ramp cpu up when required (UI interaction)
+ more consistent ramping, existing governors do their cpu load sampling in a
workqueue context, the 'interactive' governor does this in a timer context, which
gives more consistent cpu load sampling.
+ higher priority for cpu frequency increase, rt_workqueue is used for scaling
up, giving the remaining tasks the cpu performance benefit, unlike existing
governors which schedule rampup work to occur after your performance starved
tasks have completed.
Existing governors sample cpu load at a particular rate, typically
every X ms. Which can lead to under powering UI threads when the user has
interacted with an idle system until the next sample period happns.
The 'interactive' governor has a different approach. Instead of sampling the cpu
at a specified rate, the governor will scale the cpu frequency up when coming
out of idle. When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire
within 1-2 ticks. If the cpu is 100% busy from exiting idle to when the timer
fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp to MAX speed.
If the cpu was not 100% busy, then the governor evaluates the cpu load over the
last 'min_sample_rate' (default 50000 uS) to determine the cpu speed to ramp down
to.
There is only one tuneable for this governor:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/interactive/min_sample_rate:
The minimum ammount of time to spend at the current frequency before
ramping down. This is to ensure that the governor has seen enough
historic cpu load data to determine the appropriate workload.
Default is 5000 uS.

One last thing is that this kernel keeps logs. Even though they are hard to read if you want to see them, type this:
adb remount

***how to partition for apps2sd for Amon Ra's Recovery and Cyanogen's Clockwork Mod Recovery***
Instruction Source: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Apps2SD#Normal_Installation
How to Setup SD card partitions from AmonRa's Recovery:
1. backup your stuff on your memory card. It is very possible that this will erase everything on your memory card.
2. Shut down the phone
3. Press and hold the home button while pressing the power button. Keep holding the home button until you get to the recovery menu.
4. Select Partition sdcard
5. Select Partition SD
6. Set the following partition sizes using the trackball or volume buttons:
-ext: 512MB - recommended. You will feel like you can install everything from the market.
-swap: none -not a prerequisite but recommended. use at least 30mb.
-fat: remaining
7. Reboot the phone. It may take a little while for boot to finish on this boot only.
How to Setup SD card partitions from Clockworkmod Recovery:
***Do not partition with Clockwork mod. There are some issues that I have read that will mess up your install***
There are alternative methods for this, but it's just easier to use Amon_Ra's image for this.
***How to setup a2sd/Swap/JIT***
A2SD is already enabled by default on this rom. However Swap and dalvik to sd is not!
To get swap working (if you made a swap partition on your sd card)
1. get to adb
2. adb remount
3. adb shell
4. a2sd reswap
To move Dalvik cache to sd -
5. a2sd cachesd
VOILA! 149MB free on the phone! *w00t*
Also there is more config you could do here. You can enable JIT *dunno if it works, so add at your own risk*
***More info for a2sd configuration***
Code:
Standard Apps2SD Commands:
--------------------------------------------------
reinstall
Moves free and paid apps to the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition on your secure digital card. Removes the No A2SD flag file.
This is used if you have already executed an a2sd remove command. Otherwise, this part is automatically performed when Apps2SD is started.
File removed: /data/.noa2sd
remove
Moves free and paid apps to the internal phone storage. Creates the No A2SD flag file.
File created: /data/.noa2sd
Swap Partition Commands:
--------------------------------------------------
reswap
Removes the No Swap flag. Allows A2SD to activate the swap partition.
This is used if you have already executed an a2sd noswap command. Otherwise, this part is automatically performed when Apps2SD is started. Note: This command has no effect on roms where the swap space is not built into the kernel.
File removed: /data/.noswap
noswap
Creates the No Swap flag. Prevents A2SD from activating the swap partition. Note: This command has no effect on roms where the swap space is not built into the kernel.
File created: /data/.noswap
swappyxx
Sets the swappiness setting for the swap file. xx sets the swappiness percentage used. (i.e. to set swappiness to 30%, type a2sd swappy30.
Dalvik Cache Commands:
--------------------------------------------------
cachesd
Moves Dalvik cache files to the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition on your secure digital card. Creates Dalvik Cache to SD flag.
Caution: If your phone fails to mount the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition and your dalvik-cache is pointed to the SD card, you will likely end up in a boot loop. Execute a2sd nocache from adb shell to rectify the issue.
File created: /data/.dalvikcacahe
File removed: /data/.dcpartition
cachesdreset
Same as cachesd above, but erases the contents of the dalvik-cache after move. This performs both the a2sd cachesd and a2sd resetcache all in one command.
File removed: /data/.dcpartition
cachepart
Moves Dalvik cache files to the /cache partition in your phone. Creates Dalvik Cache to Cache Partition flag.
Caution: Some phones do not have enough space to put the dalvik-cache on the cache partition. Also, some roms that have SenseUI installed may not work well with the dalvik-cache on the cache partition (although this issue appears to be fixed starting with Darktremor 2.7.5.1). If you experience issues such as force closes, try moving the dalvik-cache to the SD card (a2sd cachesd) or internal storage (a2sd nocache) instead.
File created: /data/.dcpartition
File removed: /data/.dalvikcache
cachepartreset
Same as cachepart above, but erases the contents of the dalvik-cache after move. This performs both the a2sd cachepart and a2sd resetcache all in one command.
File removed: /data/.dalvikcache
nocache
Moves Dalvik cache files to the internal phone storage. Removes all Dalvik Cache flags.
File removed: /data/.dcpartition, /data/.dalvikcache
nocachereset
Same as nocache above, but erases the contents of the dalvik-cache after move. This performs both the a2sd nocache and a2sd resetcache all in one command.
File removed: /data/.dcpartition. /data/.dalvikcache
resetcache
Clears the dalvik cache and restarts phone.
Apps2SD Diagnostic Commands:
--------------------------------------------------
check
Performs a symlink and flag file check on your setup. Outputs a report that shows you if
there are issues with your Apps2SD setup.
repair
Performs a repair of all symlinks based on flag file activation.
diskspace
Shows disk space statistics for the ext partition.
sysinfo
Displays information about your phone, partitions, swap, and more.
Also writes a dump file that has an entire profile of your phone. This is for troubleshooting only.
File Created: /data/dtsysdump.txt
swapspace
Shows swap space statistics for all swap space active on the phone. Note: This command has no effect on roms where the swap space is not built into the kernel.
ZipAlign Commands:
--------------------------------------------------
align
Performs a one-time zipalign on all APK files in /data/app and /data/app-private.
zipalign
Allows ZipAlign to execute during the boot process. Creates the ZipAlign flag file.
File Created: /data/.zipalign
nozipalign
Prevents ZipAlign from executing during the boot process. Removes the ZipAlign flag file.
File Removed: /data/.zipalign
Dalvik Setting Commands:
--------------------------------------------------
jit
Installs DalvikVM JIT.
WARNING: Do not run this command if your phone has NAND protection active.
nojit
Removes DalvikVM JIT.
WARNING: Do not run this command if your phone has NAND protection active.
defaultheap
Resets the Dalvik heap size to the default heap size.
File Removed: /data/.smallheap, /data/.largeheap, /data/.jumboheap
heapsizexx
Sets the dalvik heap size to xx. For example, to set the dalvik cache to 24mb, type a2sd heapsize24. To reset back to default, type a2sd heapsize0 (that's a zero, not the letter "o")

***How to push an apk file using adb***
*Of course you have to have a rooted phone to do this, if not check the ***how to root*** section first before getting this far.*
This tutorial is going to use the linked deleted files zip from the link in the first post.
1. Download the Android SDK for your appropriate Operating System from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Once downloaded, be sure to download the deleted files zip from the link in the first post.
3. Extract the Android SDK file to an easily findable folder
4. Extract the deleted files from the zip file, and copy the apk file you choose to the AndroidSdk\tools folder. For reference I will be using the Dialer.apk file in this tutorial (not included in the zip).
5. connect phone to computer and select "charge only" from the menu.
(*for windows Vista/7/XP*)
*prerequisite* - you must have the adb drivers installed to do this in windows.
6. Click Start, go to > All Programs > Accessories, and from there, right click 'command' (something like that), and click 'open as administrator' (XP users do not have to do this, just go to Start > Run, type cmd, and press enter)
7 .navigate to the android tools folder you put the apk file in (the command to change directories is 'cd' and then a space, and the name of the next folder, so to navigate to the 'android' folder, you would type 'cd android', and then you can use 'dir' to see the next directories till you get to the right folder.
8. type 'adb remount'. This is going to start the adb system, and then remount the phone in root mode.
9. to check to see if your phone is mounted and everything is kosher, type 'adb devices' and it should show something on the bottom that should be your device or serial of the device. If it says ??????????? then it's not working.
10. type 'adb push HtcDialer.apk /system/app'
11. DRINK A BEER! You have pushed an apk to your phone! To check if it is installed, simply click the call button (or press phone on the rosie), go to settings and select speed dial. Then see if you can change/add a number to speed dial #2. This could possibly require a reboot to actually start the new version of the installed software but you should just be able to go ahead and use it
(*for Linux*)
6. Once you extract the android-sdk-linux_x86 folder, go to the terminal, and navigate to the android folder pretty much the same way as windows, except instead of using dir (ubuntu users can use it), use 'ls'
7. type 'sudo ./adb remount' and when asked, type the administrator password for the linux system. This is going to start the adb system, and then remount the phone in root mode.
8. To check to see if your phone is mounted, type 'sudo ./adb devices' this should show your device.
9. To do that actual push, type 'sudo ./adb push HtcDialer.apk /system/app'
10.
DRINK A BEER! You have pushed an apk to your phone! To check if it is installed, simply click the call button (or press phone on the rosie), go to settings and select speed dial.

Hell yeah! Although the neighbors didn't appreciate me running around in the front yard naked! Hmmm.... Maybe I will try the backyard next time.

Good job. I'm glad somebody finally got a CSouth Rom on here.
If you need any assistance let me know.

Ok I go to filedropper site but all I get to download is an empty folder, 66.7kb????. Has the file name but no data, or am I completely missing the right link? Do I need to join to download? Thanks, would really like to try this ROM out.

I got the download, followed all steps, it says that the zip is bad. I deleted the old one, transferred a fresh one to card, same story. I'm downloading the zip again just to make sure it didn't corrupt while downloading.
Anyone else run into this problem?

zip flashed fine for me. Just booting up

Can this be used in other non-sprint heros?
Also, I was wondering if it is possible to have like a stripped / universal version for non-sprint heros and then install CS’s or other carrier’s stuff apart like DarchDroid did with his naked rom with Google ****s apart.
Thanks for sharing it!

I downloaded it from the link with no problem. I did the following:
1.downloaded the zip
2.transferred it to the SD Card
3.HBoot
4.Created Nandroid
5. Wiped everything
6. flashed in zip file
It works pretty good. I can't get my yahoo account to work. I also can't get the new widgets to download to the phone and work. They download and then I don't get them. Hmmmm....

Anybody know how to change pri version? Mine is 1. Something but my non rooted phone is 2.51_013

Even though I am on AT&T with a Magic and Captivate it is good to see some Cell South love around here. I will be using your rom to flash to as many friend's Heroes I know.
Bring on the Incredible, Milestone, and Galaxy S now C South!

That is odd. I have no idea tbh, but I'll try to check it out.
From here on out, any questions asked will be answered in the 2nd post on this thread.
***link is fixed!! Any issues please report!***
And yes this rom should work for non-cs users, but always take caution and do like you do with sprint roms, and it should be ok (and for those who didn't get voicemail notifications, this should support it)

could you send me the file there appears to be a problem with the link

To Mr. Danger, yes I will need some help soon. I want to branch this rom out to a couple of different versions. 1. With no apps (well junk apps anyways) with helix launcher and no sense, 2. With no junk apps with sense, and 3. Just the full montey (like now but with no issues)
@pound24. I just tried the link. It's working fine (from mediafire, not the old link, I removed that one)

i used a different computer and it worked about to flash in a sec

This may be a dumb question, but you do need to root before applying this ROM, right?

Yes, the phone has to be rooted before loading anything except for the stock updates from the carriers.

[UPDATED 24.03.2011] X10 Theme Reference

24.03.2011: Added a link to the themes section and added my last post here for a while (maybe ):
_calum_ said:
So I'm back after dropping off the face of the planet for a while I've been getting into WP7 development and so my X10 has been in the top drawer for a couple of months... I may get into Android development soon but at the moment I'm a bit short on time (as always ).
I still would like to get the timescape animations sorted (I hate being beaten ) but I just can't seem to get the cheecksum figured out. If I ever get them sorted I'll update this post again, but until then I probably won't do anything more with my X10.
I hope this post has been helpful. See ya

This thread was opened to consolidate the information/knowledge about themes for the x10. It is basically a reference thread with key bits of information and links so that a new user can find all the necessary information in one place. At the moment this is spread out all over the place, there are a lot of different threads with different bits of information, and the lack of updates in Draken Korin’s sticky makes it pretty hard to find new information. It should also help us avoid the old ‘where the hell was that image…?’ and ‘where was that … thread again?’.
Please PM me or post any useful information that is missing, especially the OPs of the threads in the Themes section below. I will continually update this thread with any new information or links.
All useful information that is posted here will be added to this first page, so that you don't have to wade through pages of posts to try and find something. Everything after the first page should therefore either be repeated on this page somewhere or is just conversation. Please yell at me should this not be the case
Please help me out by posting information, ideas etc.

21.12.2010 - Added a link to MrRusch's tool to section 4
24.12.2010 - Added link to 2.1 Sources to section 5

Getting Started
Before getting started on a theme you'll need to set a few things up. Here's a list of everything you'll need:
Root. Your phone will need to be rooted
Java SDK (JDK). You'll need to install the JDK (and JRE) before you can start modifying the contents of your phone. Check out this video of Chewitts if you're having problems on x64 systems.
ADB (from the Android SDK). You need ADB to push/pull files to and from your phone (see the next post)
X10 Drivers. The drivers are usually installed if you install SEUS. Sometimes however you may need to do a manual installation (from my experience mainly on Win7 x64 machines).
The easiest way to make sure everything is set up properly is to install someone elses theme. Check out this post (1.6) or this post (2.1) for instructions.
After you've done all that take a look at this.

Have you installed someone elses theme yet? If not then go directly to jail, do not pass GO and do not collect £200
Using ADB
There's an ADB Guide here (thanks to XPeriaX10iUser for having this in his sig ): ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs
Before you start need to unsecure the shell. Use the following adb commands to do this if you haven't already (to reverse it do chmod 0755... thanks XperiaX10iUser ):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh
This is all described in the links posted in the Getting Started section above
Thanks to MrRusch for making our lives easier with this tool. For those of you new to this, you should still read the guide linked above so that you know what is actually going on.
Here's a step by step for pulling the framework from your phone and pushing it back. The original post is here. The boot animation mod at the bottom is for 1.6. In 2.1 it is found in system/media/bootanimation.zip.
@gavriel18: I hope it's OK to use this here, if not then let me know.
gavriel18 said:
Step 1:
Connect phone to pc, enable usb debugging and open adb. Type:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
That will pull your framework-res.apk to whatever folder is displaying in your command line.
Step 2:
Find the framework-res.apk on your hard drive, right click and open with 7zip.
Step 3:
Use png's here or create your own and dump into the appropriate folder within framework-res.apk.
Step 4:
When you are done editing the files open up adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
That will put the new framework-res.apk on your phone. It should automatically reboot (if not reboot it) and your changes should be applied!
When running the script above you can replace framework-res.apk with whatever you want. For example, Timescape.apk
Remember, it is CASE sensitive I made this problem many times)
If you would like to pull an entire folder put a slash at the end of the last word. For example, adb pull /system/etc /etc"/" (no " in actual script )
Courtesy of corruptfate is the steps to modify the startupshow (post #207)
step 1: open adb shell
step 2: type "adb shell"
step 3: type "su"
step 4: type "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system"
step 5: type "mkdir system/etc/semc/startupshow"
step 6: exit and redo step 1 - 4
step 7: type "mkdir system/etc/semc/startupshow/default"
step 8: exit and open command prompt again, this time type "ddms"
step 9: look for the default folder in system > etc > semc > startupshow > default
step 10: push the images into that folder

Creating a theme
So, now that we’ve got the framework-res.apk onto our hard drive, we can take a look at creating a theme. The only skill that is really required to change the appearance of the framework (this is the system file that contains the notification bar, settings etc.) is being able to edit .png image files to suit your tastes. If you can do this then it is just a matter of knowing how to extract the images, and how to update the .apk with them after editing.
.9.png's
Before we start we need to take a look at a special kind of image in android apk’s: the .9.png’s. These are recognisable, as the name suggests, by the double extension *.9.png.
.9.png's are images with a bit of extra information embedded. They contain information on how they can be stretched, and where the content can go (e.g. for a button background, which area of the background can contain the text).
This information is contained in a single pixel border (the guides) around the image and can be added using draw9patch. The catch here is that the guides must be compiled into the image before it can be used.
The Border: For the most part, you will not have to edit the border of a .9.png because, as long as you follow the guide below, the guides will already be in the image and you will not need to change them. If you do need to create your own (I’d assume you know enough not to be reading this though ), you can find more information here.
Editing the Framework
In this example we will look at editing framework-res.apk. However, the process can be used on any apk.
The method described below may seem overly complicated for those who have experience in this area, but it is (in my opinion) the easiest ‘sure-fire’ way to make sure you don’t have any problems (especially with the .9.png’s).
In rare cases, when the .apk your modifying doesn’t have any .9.png’s (e.g. the Recent Calls widget) then you can skip straight to the ‘Updating images using Drag/Drop’ section below.
Requirements:
You will need the following:
7zip apktool - this is included in the attached file themes.zip
Some people use WinRAR instead of 7zip, but apktool uses some 7zip commands internally so make sure it is installed (I think, I know this is the case for APK Manager, I still need to test this for apktool, but hey, just use 7zip, it's free and works exceptionally well).
Setting up:
In the attached zip file (themes.zip) you will find a copy of my theme creation environment. It’s not too complicated, it only contains a couple of folders so I know where everything is, three key batch files (all one-liners) and apktool.
The first thing we need to look at is install_framework.bat. This contains the following line:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar install-framework stock\framework-res.apk
All this does is tell apktool to install the framework on your system. The resources from stock\framework-res.apk will be extracted to a default location. If you don’t do this then you will not be able to recompile other apk’s that rely on the framework (you will get a ResourceNotFound error).
The other batch files decompile and build the framework, these are the ones that need to be modified if you start working on a different apk:
Code:
[B]decompile.bat[/B)
java -jar apktool.jar d stock\ framework-res.apk working\ framework-res
[B]build.bat[/B]
java -jar apktool.jar b working\framework-res out\framework-res.apk
I have included the stock X10 framework. If you use on of the other frameworks out there you may find that you get a lot of errors when trying to recompile. That’s because someone got lazy with the .9.png’s
As we are modifying the framework directly we do not need to run install_framework.bat, for a different apk (e.g. Phonebook.apk) you may need to run this first to avoid errors when decompiling.
Decompiling and Building:
1. Run decompile.bat. After this you will see that the working folder is filled with the contents of the apk. The images we need to modify are in the subfolders res/drawable-hdpi and res/drawable-land-hdpi. If you look at some of the .9.png’s in there you can see the guides (see the attached image). This makes it really easy to edit them, you can just edit them like any other image (as long as you do not touch/alter the guides).
2. Edit any images that you want. For the .9.pngs I usually make a copy without the 1 pixel border so that I can edit the entire image, then I paste the copy back into the middle of the original .9.png. You don’t have to worry about the guides, they are already set correctly.
I have created a tool that takes the stock x10 status bar icons, removes the background and sets them to a colour of your choice here. This was made to make my life easier by minimizing the time I spend in photoshop.
3. Run build.bat. This compiles the framework, embedding the guide information into the .9.png’s. The output framework is in the out folder. Do not push this to your phone as it is incomplete and the resources.arsc is stored incorrectly. If you do push it to your phone then you get to reflash
Now you can just drag the edited images out of the generated framework onto your hard drive and use steps 4. and 5. of the Drag/Drop method described below to update your framework.
Updating images using Drag/Drop:
1. Open the .apk in 7zip and browse to the appropriate image folder (almost always the res\drawable-hdpi folder)
2. Drag/Drop the images you want to edit to your hard drive. Leave the .apk open in 7zip
3. Edit the images in your favourite program (photoshop or similar)
4. Drag/Drop the images back into the .apk that is still open
5. Use the process described in the previous post to push the framework back to the phone
The reason that the .apk is left open in this process is that some (all?) of them are signed and updating them in this way doesn’t mess with the signature. I’ll admit to not being 100% sure about this, I’m sort of thinking now that people just had problems re-packing due to files being compressed that shouldn’t have been (see the section on editing XML files and adding resources to see what I mean). Please correct me on this one.
This also [almost] goes without saying, but: Make a backup before you start (you can look at the installer for Chewitts Dark10 theme to see how to do this).
OK, now you can start messing with the appearance of your phone, have fun

Thanks to Mr_Element for the help testing this process and making it easier to follow
Thanks to damnitpud for his post here, without which I would still have been a bit lost in draw9patch.

Modifying XML files and adding resources
First up, thanks to MrRusch for pointing out that the resources.arsc was being zipped differently. It would have taken a few more flashes to figure out how to pack it into the apk without that little nugget
Secondly, thanks again to MrRusch for this post. Using apktool 1.3.1 means the resources are not compressed, but you still can't just flash the resulting framework. So either use MrRusch's tool or follow the instructions below.
The XML files in the framework-res.apk (and the other apps) are stored in a compiled form, making them impossible to edit without decompiling them. The process of decompiling them and recompiling is reasonably simple but care is required if any images/resources are added to the apk.
Modifying the xml files opens up certain things that can’t be changed by just modifying some image files. The best example is changing the battery icon in the notification bar to show a different image for each percentage instead of just 10%, 20%, 40% etc.
When you modify xml files and add resources to your apk, make sure you copy ALL the modifications made to the stock apk each time after compiling. I have noticed strange effects if I don't do this such as the wrong images being used - I am assuming that in the newly compiled resources.arsc the image references/IDs change when compiled, but I'm not really sure yet. An example of this is when I tried to add the signal strength mod mentioned above to a framework that included the battery icon mod below. This only worked if I also copied the battery mod files to the framework (even though they were already in the apk) after recompiling the signal strength mod. If I just copied the files required for the signal strength mod then the battery indicator would start showing the wrong images (see here, specifically posts 52, 56 and 57).
Battery Icon:
Here is a step by step for modifying the battery icon in the framework. To do this you will need to download apktool and install 7zip (other compression programs may work, but I’ve only used 7zip).
Decompile the framework using the following command:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d framework-res.apk framework-res
This will decompile the framework-res.apk that’s in the current command window folder into a subfolder framework-res
Find the xml files you need to modify, e.g. the battery icon xml res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml and edit them. This is assuming, of course that you know what needs to go in the XML file . For the battery XML it is pretty obvious, just copy/paste the existing nodes and change them so you have the necessary percentage entries, see the attachment for an example with 100 steps.
Add any necessary resources to the appropriate folder. For the battery icon you need to create an image for each percentage (or download one of these) and add them to the res\drawable_hdpi folder. The name is the same as the name in the xml (stat_sys_battery_*.png)
Rebuild the apk using the following command:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b framework-res out\framework-res.apk
This will create a new framework-res.apk in a subfolder out.
IMPORTANT: Do not push this apk to your phone unless you want to reflash
Extract the xml files and images from the newly generated apk (you can use the original images, but the xml files must be the newly compiled ones from the new apk). Add these files to the original framework-res.apk that you want to push to your phone (see the previous post).
Extract the resources.arsc from the root of the apk
Rename the original framework-res.apk from your theme to framework-res.zip
Right-click the extracted resources.arsc and choose the 7zip menu item ‘Add to archive’
In the dialog that appears set the achive field at the top to the framework-res.zip from step 7. And set the archive format to zip. Now set the Compression level to store and click OK(if you do not do this your phone will not boot). The settings are in the attached screenshot.
Rename framework-res.zip to framework-res.apk and double check that the compressed size or resources.arsc is the same as the original size (see screenshot)
Done. Push the new framework to your phone.
Status Bar Text:
The style for most (all?) UI elements can be found in res/values/styles.xml. This xml file is only available in a decompiled framework. In the compiled version everything in res/values is compiled into resoureces.arsc.
The status bar text style is named TextAppearance.StatusBar. The file is pretty large so it's best just to do a search for the name. The definition looks like this:
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_primary</item>
</style>
You can easily adjust the size or make the text bold using the textSize and textStyle elements (see here for a description of these attributes and their values). The color uses the @color/... notation. This is a reference to a color resource, these can be found in colors.xml. We could just change this to a direct color entry (see here for an example), but then we wouldn't have a resource that can be reused for other parts of the UI.
If you open colors.xml you can find this:
Code:
<color name="semc_text_color_primary">#ffffffff</color>
This sets the primary text color to white (ARGB: FFFFFFFF = White). Changing the value of this will change the color of all primary text throughout the phone (settings menu etc.). If we just want to change the notification bar then it's best to add a new color. To do this just duplicate the above color definition and change the name and color:
Code:
<color name="semc_text_color_primary">#ffffffff</color>
<color name="semc_text_color_custom">#9900ff00</color>
And then adjust the style to use this new color resource:
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_custom</item>
</style>
Now recompile and copy resources.arsc to your framework as described above and push the framework to your phone for semi-transparent green text in your status bar

Modifying Services.jar
To modify services.jar we need to decompile the classes.dex file contained within. We can do this with baksmali:
1. Open services.jar (found in system/framework) with 7zip
2. Extract classes.dex from the archive
3. Open a command window and use the following to decompile:
Code:
java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar -o out\services classes.dex
4. You will now have a subfolder out\services with the decompiled .dex classes (smali files)
These sort of modifications will not be necessary very often. Two things that have been looked at so far are changing the text color on the status bar clock (just the clock, not the notification text) and changing the signal strength to show dBm instead of just the bars. The text color of the clock is relatively simple and is described below. The signal strength mod was done by MrRusch and requires a bit more code, he describes the process here.
I have attached a converter MrRusch has put together to convert java to smali. This is really helpful when trying to figure out how to modify the smali or event just trying to figure out what a piece of smali code does.
Since the 15th of december the sources for 2.1 are available here. Now we can see how the original java relates to the decompiled smali code.
You can find a reference for all the smali ops here. This one is more complete but I prefer the first purely because it's a bit more compact and it has most of what I need anyway. Thanks to untemensch and JesusFreke for the links.
Status Bar Clock Color:
I have since figured out how to do this without changing any code, just by changing some xml in res/layout, but I will keep this here as I think it is a nice, easy to follow example to start out with.
This section describes how to modify the color of the clock in the status bar without changing the color of the notification text (changing all of the status bar text is described in the xml section above).
First we need to have a look at the smali file com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali to see how the color of the clock text is set. I use Visual Studio to view/edit the smali files, but you can use any text editor - I have seen PSPad recommended a few times.
If we look at the init method we can see the following piece of smali code:
Code:
.line 44
.local v15, textColor:I
const/4 v13, -0x1
.line 50
.local v13, styleIndex:I
const v18, 0x1030079
:try_start_1f
sget-object v19, Lcom/android/internal/R$styleable;->TextAppearance:[I
move-object/from16 v0, p1
move/from16 v1, v18
move-object/from16 v2, v19
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Context;->obtainStyledAttributes(I[I)Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;
move-result-object v5
.line 53
.local v5, a:Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;
const/16 v18, 0x0
move-object v0, v5
move/from16 v1, v18
move/from16 v2, v16
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;->getDimension(IF)F
move-result v16
.line 54
const/16 v18, 0x3
move-object v0, v5
move/from16 v1, v18
move v2, v15
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;->getColor(II)I
move-result v15
Here's a run-down:
I'm pretty sure the lines that start with a '.' are comments from the decompiler.
The .line 4 entries are just a reference to the line number in java source-code. And I think the .local v15, textColor:I entry just notes the v15 variable name and type (I = integer).
The first bit of interest is the line invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Context;->obtainStyledAttributes(I[I). The obtainStyledAttributes method definition can be found here. There are a few overloads, but the call is to the method that accepts an integer and an integer array as parameters - hence the (I[I), I and [I. The three variables in braces at the start denote the object that the method is being called on (the Context object) and the two parameters respectively. The first parameter (v1) is a resource ID and a few lines up the v18 variable is copied to this (move/from16 v1, v18 - this means move the value from v18 to the v1 variable). v18 was declared a few lines above again with the value 0x1030079. This ID can be found in the framework xml-file res/values/public.xml and the value is the name of a style (TextAppearance.StatusBar) that can be found in res/valus/styles.xml (see the xml section above).
The result of obtainStyledAttributes is copied to v5 (move-result-object v5) which (in .line 54) is copied to v0 which is then used to call Landroid/content/res/TypedArray;->getColor with the two integer parameters v18 (0x3) and v15 (0x100 - this is the color black). The first parameter is the index of the color in the style array (index 3 in v5) and the second is the default value (black).
The result of getColor() is then copied to v15 and reused later when setting up the text view for the clock:
Code:
.line 61
.local v14, t:Landroid/widget/TextView;
move-object v0, v14
move-object/from16 v1, p0
iput-object v0, v1, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarIcon;->mTextView:Landroid/widget/TextView;
.line 62
new-instance v11, Landroid/widget/LinearLayout$LayoutParams;
const/16 v18, -0x2
const/16 v19, -0x1
move-object v0, v11
move/from16 v1, v18
move/from16 v2, v19
invoke-direct {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/widget/LinearLayout$LayoutParams;-><init>(II)V
.line 65
.local v11, layoutParams:Landroid/widget/LinearLayout$LayoutParams;
const/16 v18, 0x0
move-object v0, v14
move/from16 v1, v18
move/from16 v2, v16
invoke-virtual {v0, v1, v2}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextSize(IF)V
.line 66
invoke-virtual {v14, v15}, Landroid/widget/TextView;->setTextColor(I)V
All this means that to change the color of the clock text only, we need to declare a new style and use the ID of this style in the call to obtainStyledAttributes. When adding the style to styles.xml I keep it in the same place as the other status bar styles:
Code:
...
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_primary</item>
</style>
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@style/TextAppearance">
<item name="textSize">16.0sp</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">@color/semc_text_color_clock</item>
</style>
...
The name of the style can be anything, what is important is the ID reference in public.xml, and that a color semc_text_color_clock is declared in colors.xml (see the xml section above).
The style reference in public.xml must have an ID that starts with 0x0103****. This is the ID range for styles, strings and other resources have a different ID range. I always add the new style at the bottom of the style group so that I can easily see which is the next free ID:
Code:
....
<public type="style" name="SEMCTheme.Dialog.Alert.Vanilla" id="0x01030139" />
<public type="style" name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" id="0x0103013a" />
....
Now that we have added a new style we just need to adjust the smali code to use it. Change the code above from:
Code:
.line 50
.local v13, styleIndex:I
const v18, 0x1030079
to:
Code:
.line 50
.local v13, styleIndex:I
const v18, [B]0x103013a[/B]
Now our new style is used for the call to obtainStyledAttributes. We then need to recompile the smali to a classes.dex file and update the services.jar:
Run the following command to recompile the smali:
Code:
java -jar smali-1.2.5.jar -o out\classes.dex out\services
The output file may be a slightly different size than the original classes.dex but as long as you don't get any errors it will be OK.
Now open services.jar with 7zip and update it with the new classes.dex (drag/drop).
Done Push the services.jar to your phone with adb and reboot (make sure you have updated framework-res.apk with the new xml resources first, otherwise our new ID will point to a non-existant resource)

Timescape/Mediascape
Timescape and Mediascape use a different format for some of the images (for mediascape it's just the background on the first page). Timescape also has some animation files to control the wave in the background and the color of the paginator. In 1.6 we can modify all of these, for 2.1 I still haven't got the animations sussed.
All of the information I have collected, including tools for converting the images, can be found here (the 2.1 converter tools are linked at the top of the first post).
If you're just looking to modify the first page of mediascape then it is here: /system/usr/semc/seee/files/ms_bg_background_home_icn.acet
Here are the two dark themes that I have done for Timescape:
1.6
2.1 (without animations)
and the following themes also include Timescape mods:

gavriel18 has posted some of the standard mods here.
XML:
I have attached some images where you can see the effects of changing the most common colours in res/values/colors.xml. It looks pretty horrible, but you can see what you need to change
I still haven't figured out how to change some of the colours (e.g. the network provider text in the status bar) but I will update this when I find out more...
Please PM me or post any other mods that you've made that were well hidden. We can add them here to avoid searching for them again later.
This especially applies to all the OPs from the next post

Recovery tips
This post will be used for tips etc. on recovering your phone if it won't boot (if this never happens to you then you're not trying hard enough )
From here:
MarylandCookie said:
Future tip: For anyone who needs to reflash due to a bad upload of an app i would recommend just flashing the system.sin file (ive done this on a number of occasions!!)...
Your phone will boot up (will take a little longer than usual) and the only difference will be is that you will have all your system apps back but you will need to re-root. Everything else will be the same
Even better if you have the One Click Root app found here:

Possible reasons your phone won't boot after modifications:
images anren't stored properly, right format, right size etc.
unpacked apk improperly, use 7zip, it doesn't mess anything up
you signed the package before pushing it- unless you know what you're doing follow the directions to a tee and you should be fine
pushed the package to the wrong directory, /system/framework-res.apk XX, /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I'm sure many other reasons, these were the only ones I encountered
How to get past boot screen:
Use backup framework-res.apk and push that one to your phone. Remember to place that one where the modified one is.
To see if adb sees your phone type adb devices, if a serial number pops up try pushing your original, if not...
Flash your phone again from scratch . Sorry, I don't know any better way yet.

from bitter personal experience :
If anyone does mess their phone up so much that not even the SE logo shows up (just a black, maybe flickering, screen) and a reflash/seus repair doesn't help. Then what sorted me out was a reflash to Generic Nordic 1.6 using jerpelea's flash tool - the same one I used to get the 2.1 update early - then boot the phone, shut down again and run seus for the 2.1 update.

Not directly related, but here's a tip from XperiaX10iUser:
To reverse chmod use 0755 instead of 4755.

This would indeed be helpful. Thanks.

This definitely needs to be sticky'd! It beats looking over pages and pages worth of threads to find the correct ones. It's a lot harder to search through threads without getting completely creative with your search strings so as to cull out all of the useless threads.
Thanks for this! I just posted about a theme I'd like to work on and requested this information!

Wow, great tutorial Calum. Thank you once again for all your hard work!

Thanks for the feedback guys

Great thread! Why on earth the mods haven't thought to sticky this is beyond me.

great thread Callum!
i vote yes for sticky also!

Thanks for all the hard work _calum_ and all the other themers too!

Thank you for this Ultimate theme reference thread... It definitely should be sticky....

[ROM] LOL v. 1.4.2 (with kernel 2.2.2+oc+lagfix)(+ how to create powermenu on LGP500)

Hello everybody, this is my first homemade ROM and everything started more like a joke.. (that’s the reason of its name.. ) rather than because of the necessity of a different ROM - I just wanted to experiment a bit in order to improve my knowledge!
The Void (thanks to Noejn) I was using before was working flawlessly, but I was curious to learn the procedure of cooking my own, so I tried, and when a problem showed up I resolved them.. it was a great way to learn something new!
First I made it for personal use only, then talking to my friends on an Italian android forum they wanted to try it, so they became my beta testers (MicheyKnox since the first day and NioBee from the second on).
During the last week many other users installed the Rom and I made some minor bug fixes and improvements and now it’s ready to be published here…!
But let’s go to the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
* based on the v10q (Froyo 2.2.2)
* rom deodexed
* zipaligned
* root + superuser + busybox
* a2sd (darktremor script) + dalvik-cache on ext partition
* HW acceleration by default enabled
* Jit by default enabled
* Kernel froyo 2.2.2 recompiled by me with oc+lagfix (thx to drellisdee and mik_os)
* CPU automatically set 245/729/interactive
* gingerbread keyboard
* adw.launcher + adwnotifier
* customized theme with circular battery
* updated Google apps
* also includes: terminal emulator, OI file manager
* customization scripts: appinst and cpuclock
* customized POWERMENU able to reboot the phone or reboot directly in recovery
* BaBa (Burning Apple Boot Animation)
* wifi power (set by default to 20 dBm, edit the script /system/etc/setwifi.sh for modify this value)
* support for wlan wpa adhoc
* market hack (the market will seem that you are using Froyo 2.2)
BaBa is a Boot animation which is made of two different animations I found on XDA dimensions and timings where adapted in order to fit our needs (thanks to MickeyKnox )
Some apps like facebook, twitter and layar were removed, they can easily be installed through the Marked!
Removed: AppAdvisor and LG update advisor.
Other apps removed:
Code:
AIME.apk (LG Keyboard)
AnalogClockWidget.apk
BookmarksWidget.apk
CalendarWidget.apk
CarHome.apk
CarHomeLauncher.apk
ClockWeatherWidget.apk
DigitalAlarmWidget.apk
DualClockWidget.apk
GenieWidget.apk (news and weather widget)
LGHome.apk (launcher LG)
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
MemoWidget.apk
MessageWidget.apk
PhotoWidget.apk
Protips.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk
ConnectionManagerWidget.apk
Email.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
Talk.apk
For these apps I created a script that allows you to install or uninstall them in a very easy way, without the need of root explorer.
To open this script go to Terminal Emulator (installed by default) or use adb shell from your PC and write:
su
appinst
a menu will popup where you’ll find all the options, just follow the onscreen instructions.
(the script works taking its files from the LOL directory in your SD Card, so if you delete this directory, the script won’t work!)
With my second script: cpuclock you’ll be able to change the default frequency in LOL without the need of installing other apps, to use it go to Terminal Emulator or via adb shell from your PC and write
su
cpuclock
and then follow the onscreen instructions, all your settings will be available after you reboot your device.
DOWNLOAD LINKS:
LOL v 1.4.2 (multiupload)
md5: 648e91a9d8458039d4937c4911acaf82
INSTALLATION (please follow these steps carefully):
What you need: root + custom recovery
* Reboot into custom recovery (through 3-button combo)
* Partition SDcard (swap: 0, ext: 512 – or bigger if you like), convert ext2 to ext3
* wipe everything (data/factory, cache, dalvik-cache, ext, android_secure)
* Toggle PC-USB connection and copy the downloaded zip you wish to flash into the root of your SDcard; unplug afterwards
* flash from SDcard and choose the file you just copied
* reboot
On first boot it takes some minutes for the phone to load: DON’T PANIC! Wait for at least 5-6 minutes!

I prepared a zip with the scripts translated into English (the original scripts in the Rom are in Italian)
just download and flash over.

untermensch said:
Step 1.
the first thing we need to do is add string and image resources to framwork-res
for this example I am using a stock JI6 ROM your resource id's will be different
if on another ROM
use apk_manager to decompile framework-res
open "res\values\strings.xml" and add our string resources
Code:
<string name="reboot_recovery">Recovery</string>
<string name="reboot">Reboot</string>
save and close
open "res\values\public.xml" and assign our strings resource id's
scroll until you get to the end of the "<public type="string"" id list
note the id of the last string, in this example it is "10403c2" sometimes
the id's are out of order so search for "10403c2 + 1" or "10403c3"
if the next id is unused then we can start assigning id's to the strings
we added.
Code:
<public type="string" name="reboot_recovery" id="0x010403c3" />
<public type="string" name="reboot" id="0x010403c5" />
now is a good time to add the image resources so add your icons to
"res\drawable-hdpi"
and assign id's to them the same way we did for the strings
in this example, using the example icons in the zip file I had
Code:
<public type="drawable" name="reboot" id="0x010803aa" />
<public type="drawable" name="recovery" id="0x010803ab" />
save and close
now framework-res has the resources needed for this mod use
apk_manager to compile.

Click to collapse
step 2: (This part is based on untermensch's tutorial to which i have made serveral changes to let it work on LG)
now we are going to add the extra options to the power menu
decompile android.policy.jar with baksmali
open com\android\internal\policy\impl\GlobalActions.smali and change the line 436 from
Code:
const/4 v0, 0x3
to
Code:
const/4 v0, 0x5
insert the following line at line 462 (the original line 462 becomes line 486)
(remember to change reboot and recovery's image/string id with the ones used in the first step)
Code:
const/4 v1, 0x3
new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$7;
const v3, 0x10803e0 # reboot icon resource id
const v4, 0x104039d # reboot string resource id
invoke-direct {v2, p0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$7;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V
aput-object v2, v0, v1
const/4 v1, 0x4
new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$8;
const v3, 0x10803e1 # recovery icon resource id
const v4, 0x104039c # recovery string resource id
invoke-direct {v2, p0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$8;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V
aput-object v2, v0, v1
save and exit
(here starts my real job )
ok now copy GlobalActions$3.smali to GlobalActions$7.smali
edit GlobalActions$7.smali
search and replace all GlobalActions$3.smali to GlobalActions$7.smali
and change this line:
Code:
const/4 v1, 0x1
invoke-static {v0, v1}, Lcom/android/internal/app/ShutdownThread;->shutdown(Landroid/content/Context;Z)V
to
Code:
const/4 v1, 0x1
const-string v2, "now"
invoke-static {v0, v2, v1}, Lcom/android/internal/app/ShutdownThread;->reboot(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/String;Z)V
save and exit
now copy GlobalActions$3.smali to GlobalActions$8.smali
edit GlobalActions$8.smali
search and replace all GlobalActions$3.smali to GlobalActions$8.smali
and change this line:
Code:
const/4 v1, 0x1
invoke-static {v0, v1}, Lcom/android/internal/app/ShutdownThread;->shutdown(Landroid/content/Context;Z)V
to
Code:
const/4 v1, 0x1
const-string v2, "recovery"
invoke-static {v0, v2, v1}, Lcom/android/internal/app/ShutdownThread;->reboot(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/String;Z)V
save and exit
recompile android.policy.jar with smali
done

I am using this rom since the very beginning, and I can only recommend it... give it a try!

FANTASTIC ROM great work is the BEST ROM I've never had, SPECTACULAR!

very very good rom grazie paolo

Hiya, well done m8!
....As Paolo said in his post, i've been betatester for LOL Rom.
Well this rom is absolutely stable, never had a crash since started to use it.
Scripts, reboot and recovery-reboot mods are a great add-on....
i never found something like this in any rom i tested in past.
I really hope our xda friends will appreciate this ROM as we do!!!
oki, be good.

Do you get this error after having finished flashing?
I think the problem could be connected to app2sd...
usually it is not recommended to use it on lower class SD, better if class4 or higher..

excellent will give it a try. god with so many nand backups I am losing my train of thought.

Ye..it worked for 30 min or so and then it started to get this error.

LATEST DOWNLOAD: http://tweaksparadise.com/download/xavierjohn22/index.php?action=list&folder=2100
NOTES:
there's no need for a how-to and full doc in this beta
all auto apk tool and auto deodex tool applies here
adb functionality is in progress
still a lot of room for improvement
REQUESTS:
If you happen to have an idea, please post and make a clear description or screenshot of what you want to happen or do
TO DO:
add more options in the settings menu
catch errors and better handling errors
add more tabs for custom commands
PLANS:
my looking forward is to be able to create custom scripts and run with the tool
also to be able to put many jar files by just adding it in settings and run custom commands for that jar
that way it will automate whatever manual things users do in their customization of apks, rom zip, lang pack, etc
IMPORTANT:
ALL THE DEPENDENCIES LIKE OCX WILL PROMPT ERROR if not in your machine
YOU MAY NOT HAVE THESE OCX YET SO I INCLUDED IT IN THE Res folder
STEPS on FIRST RUN ONLY
1) Go to /Res/
2) Run FileRegister.exe to register these ocx files
If you are using latest w7 it may probably be registering in the wrong path so register manually.
INSTALL:
Place the folder where there is no space yet
C:xdaAutoTool
I havent handled white space yet
- Tested on Windows 7 workstation, it should run in XP as well
- All ocx and posibble dll references and dependecies will be in your machine if you are close to W7 X64 and had installed ms vb runtime in the past
- All the dependency file list are inside the docs folder (docs/xdaAutoTool.xml)
- This means i used mainly files in your Windows 7 system to run it without installation
- Installer will come later or when issues with running is that massive

5th POST: MIUI smali hunting and images to be change + PSD sources
This tool has been tested MIUI XJ Rom HERE
Compile and Decompile APKS, Build language packs faster with many devices, N1, G7, Galaxy S, etc..
OBJECTIVE:
Main intention is to automate/batch processing decompiling and recompiling, flashable zip creation, etc
Initially made when translating miui apks and building lang pack
USAGE:
Run AutoAPKToolMain.bat
QUICK HOW TO:
THE 1-2-3-4 + 5 PROCESS
- Place ALL apks to decompile in _INPUT_APK folder
- Place the framework-res apk in the _INPUT_APK as well (filename: framework-res.apk)
- Choose 1 then hit enter for if framework-res.apk command
(note that framework-res.apk will always be in the _INPUT_APK folder)
- Choose 2 to decompile all in one shot
(this will create the resources and sources folder inside _INPUT_APK folder)
- Do your edits for all in that folder, add your values-en, values-pt, raw-en, etc.
You may add drawable-en-hdpi as well
Edit your strings.xml and many more...
Remember to keep the folder structure intact
After all edits are done
- Choose 3 and hit enter
This will recompile all in one shot
A notepad will appear to show if there are errors in recompiling, check the log
Adjust if necessary, you can choose to recompile a single folder if you need to
- Choose 4 to build usable APKs
All apks will be in the _OUT_APK folder (These will not FC)
All overwriting of files are automated
These APKs are from the Original apk with:
resource.arsc + classes.dex changed + other resources added
-Choose 5 (the fun part, lol)
It will build your flashable zip signed already, there's a template in the _FLASHABLES folder
You may edit it, replace it with the same name, just keep templates by renaming, place your build.prop there, etc
Read the text file thoroughly...
So that is the short story....
For other options and features read the ReadMeHistory.txt
FYI, read notes below (in _OUT_APKTOOL_DIST folder, those are build by APK Tool)
I manage to build APKs that don't FC in the _OUT_APKTOOL_DIST only that...... (see txt for complete explanation)
EXAMPLE 1: IMAGE
If you are overwriting an image in an APK (widget_1x.png)
_CUSTOM_RES
-MiuiMusic
--res
---drawable-hdpi
----widget_1x.png (this is the image i will overwrite)
Otherwise if you are adding folders no need to turn on "overwrite resources), put all your files in:
_INPUT_APK
-MiuiMusic
--res
---drawable-de-hdpi (this is the image folder i added)
----widget_1x.png
The Copy added resources "ON" will take care of copying these added resources or files
SOME EXAMPLES OF IMAGES AND FILES OVERRIDING:
"_CUSTOM_RES\AppShare\res\drawable-hdpi\installed.png"
"_CUSTOM_RES\Gallery\res\menu\media_context_menu.xml"
"_CUSTOM_RES\ThemeManager\res\drawable-hdpi\desktop_mask.png"
EXAMPLE 2: XML BINARY WHEN YOU DO DIRECT EDITS
Say you are editing a file straight from framework-res\res\drawable\progress_horizontal.xml
FOR NOW YOU HAVE TO DO THIS:
1) After doing [3], recompiling the apk
2) Copy the file _INPUT_APK\framework-res\build\apk\res\drawable\progress_horizontal.xml
to
_CUSTOM_RES\framework-res\res\drawable\progress_horizontal.xml
(this is the binary of your edited file, by doing this, you are telling the tool to overwrite it when building the apk)
3) Once this is done, make sure that "Overwrite res using _CUSTOM_RES" is ON, it is ON by default
4) then do build usable, It should overwrite those binaries in the APK
NOTES:
"Build Usable APKs" perform these depending on options
- overwrite resources.arsc (ON/OFF)
- overwrite classes.dex (ON/OFF)
- copy added resources (e.g. drawable-de-hdpi) (ON/OFF)
- overwrite any file in APK using _CUSTOM_RES (ON/OFF)
- copy optimized pngs to APK (ON/OFF) - EXPERIMENTAL @ the moment (20110503)
- -mx3 is the compression level for the meantime, i'll make it flexible after deotool and windows version
REQUIREMENTS:
- you must have java installed on your machine, you may even have it already, mine is this per the main log file
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode)
- tested on windows 7, x64 pc
- adb must be installed in the system, download the image attached to configure adb to be called globally in cmds

AUTO APK TOOL CHANGELOG:
********************************************************
Version 5.0.0b
- Massive overhaul of codes
- New in this version is 87 and 88
87 = Can be use to remember single recompile of the last path (after 8)
Turn this ON and it will be active
88 = Is use to trigger the single recompile action
recompiling what is the last path
- Redo the recompile code
- Redo menu, starting from 21 is the new apktool 2.0.0.X settings
- 21 Use New apktool version
- 22 Use -f on recompile (this was migrated to work with new apktool and old apktool)
- 23 Use -c on recompile (this is new to work on new apktool)
- 24 Use -o on recompile (this is new to work on new apktool)
This will create a apkname_NEW.apk in _OUT_NEW folder
- 31 Overwrite resources.arsc

6:56 PM 8/19/2012
- Fixed displaying apktool version, remove 'if codes', now displays apktool name
as its version number, there's no need to change and add to this in the future
version 3.0.1
2:12 PM 8/4/2012
- Make the choosing of apktool version dynamic
- Your apktool must have "apktool" in the filename as prefix and obviously
extension is ".jar" (e.g. apktool_1.4.3.jar, apktool_1.3.1.jar)
- Fixed detecting apk before signing using option 43 and 44
version 3.0.0
10:09 PM 8/3/2012
- Option 42, 43, 44 explained
- Option 42, This is the raw APK tool output in dist (Without using my build apk)
_OUT_APKTOOL_DIST
- Option 43, This is the raw APK tool output then Zipaligned
_OUT_APKTOOL_DIST_ZIPALIGN
- Option 44, When 43 is ON, 44 is ON, the zipalinged apk gets signed
Option 44 wont work without 43 ON
There's a text file Sign_These_Then_Move.txt in _OUT_APKTOOL_DIST_ZIPALIGN
Apks listed here gets signed and moved to _OUT_APKTOOL_DIST_ZIPALIGN_SIGNED

CURRENT VERSION: 1.0.3
********************************************************
LATEST DOWNLOAD: http://tweaksparadise.com/download/xavierjohn22/index.php?action=list&folder=2100
OBJECTIVE:
Automate/batch processing of deodexing jars and apks (odexed rom)
USAGE:
Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat
IMPORTANT:
- PLEASE AVOID SPACES IN THE TOOL FOLDER PATH FOR NOW
- Good path use underscores or only letters, nos. (L:\TOOL\AutoDEOTool1.0.1)
- Some of the APKs does not like the -mX optimization so watch for those
QUICK HOW TO:
To deodex framework files,
- Place the JARs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_framework".
- Otherwise, place deodexed framework JARs into the directory "deodexed_JAR".
To deodex APK files,
- Place the APKs and corresponding ODEX files in the directory "_app".
(1) is for stock android deodexing
(2) is for non stock, such as sense, miui where you can put a custom bootclasspath
(3 to 6) options are for deodexing apks only or jars with 1 and 2 functionality
Options to change between smali-baksmali versions
NOTES:
- Basic out is performed by the tool and classes.dex is just added to the jar/apk
- No compression feature yet for that would be a separate option, i turned it off for FC with miui soundrecorder apk
REQUIREMENTS:
- you must have java installed on your machine, you may even have it already, mine is:
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b17, mixed mode)
- tested on windows 7, x64 pc

i love you

These are some of the smalis you need to change
Posted here during MIUI Ver 1.4.22/1.5.6
(this means, it may change next week, anyways basics are posted)
Use Beyond Compare or other folder, file comparer, for comparing changes
Use Windows Grep for hunting down other smalis in the future
If you got chinese character and you have translated all in strings, arrays, raw, etc.., it is most likely to be in the smali files

Haha, you made my day!!! b2t: very nice work, love this new toy. Makes the translation work faster then before.

How to set-up System Update with MIUI
1. Set-up your server
2. Modify the Update.apk smali file pointing to your json file
3. Make your json file and upload it to the server
4. Upload your files (see folder structure)
5. Optional grab my ota binary in xbin, it's from atroy of china, else make your own ota binary

If this will prevent the boot loop of cooked framework s, this is extremely useful indeed. Thank you

@XJ When i read this it's a little abracadabra...
Is it what you're saying we can make our ohne language pack?
Just folow the steps and make your ohne NL pack (in my case) whenever you want and we can adjust it whenever we want?

Yes.
Just grab a deodexed miui rom,
Follow what is in the OP, then you have your language pack, i did it to let others try to make their own.
and it relieves me of human error when translating and making multi lang in MIUI, that why we dont usually get chinese strings, only in some smali's left out when new ones come along

Man, you are the master!
Can't i put the translated (say the strings) in the right folder and start with step 2 or i think 3 recompile? Or maybe use the Latest translation and wipe all the other languages?

Yes you can do both
yup if you do the first grab the stock apks from a deodexed rom, same version. or grab the apks from my EN and ZH rom
then yeah put your values-nl, raw nl in the right places.
the next one will work too. and you can see how the folders are structure after decompile in the framework-res, so it will aid you in committing mistake
after that both will result in lesser size apks than the multi lang since you just have your language

Sorry that i didn't mention it.
The xml i edited were was framework-res/res/value/styles.xml and framework-res/res/drawable/progress_horizontal.xml
I opened i with notepad++ and edited a color hex code, saved and recompiled.
What do you mean with folder?

Thanks a lot for the tool. I m gonna give it a try tomorrow while preparing the greek pack for the latest MIUI

Ah sorry too, i was not clear either.
Usually i do values-en or values-zh or drawable-en when i do translation in miui.
Anyways, it should save the changes upon recompile.
During build usable make sure:
Overwrite resources.arsc : (10) = ON
Overwrite classes.dex : (11) = ON
10, mostly handle those edits in values xml files
11, when smali edits are made
EDIT:
Ah shocks wait, i am looking at it, seems like i turned it off by bypassing the script

[MOD] Browser By Vgeezy

Hello yes the user name says Blunttedsmurf, but I am Vgeezy from the Thrive Tablet community. Since there is nothing for the Thrive here, I'm putting my mod here. I came here to share how to change your default useragent on your stock browser to desktop permanently without messing with anything else. You will still be able to select other user agents but your default will be desktop if you restart or reboot your device. My method does not require you to mess with the framework-res.apk or the framework.jar. Messing with those files cause your platform to FCs, reboots, and other apps depend on your system useragent to stay mobile in order to work properly. I'm on honeycomb 3.2 so you're results and findings may vary. Before you try watch my proof on youtube click the the link:
MODBrowser!! Finally
Try at your own risk!!! I am not responsible for your machine!!!
Make backups
What You Need
1. Browser.apk
2. Apk Manger, or your choice of apk decompiler
3. Notepad ++
4. A little know how!!!
How To Mod
1. Decompile the browser.apk
2. locate the BrowserSettings.smali (mine was in) smali\com\android\browser\
3. Open it in notepad ++
4. Under: .method private constructor <init>()V
5. Find:
.line 105
iput v2, p0, Lcom/android/browser/BrowserSettings;->userAgent:I
6. Change to:
.line 105
const/4 v1, 0x1
iput v1, p0, Lcom/android/browser/BrowserSettings;->userAgent:I
7. save your work, recompile the apk, sign it.
8. Uninstall your browser.apk and install the Mod.
9. Enjoy!!!!!
All you are doing is inputting choice 1 at the time of creation, restart, and reboot. If your choice for desktop useragent is not the second choice under android then you must figure out what number it is and change 0x1 to what ever number it is i.e. 0x2. Just remember android/mobile is and always choice 0.
TRY AT OWN RISK, TIS APK IS ONLY MENT FOR Honeycomb 3.2 and 3.1 ROOTED!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR MACHINE
WHAT YOU NEED
To be ROOTED
MODBROWSER.APK
And A lil know how
INSTALLATION:
1. Download and put the zip on an SD card
2. Insert the SD card into your device, and power off the device
3. Restart your device in recovery and select fastboot
4. Select install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard, then choose External SD Card
5. Reboot your device and enjoy!!!
Update-
1. I made it a flashable update (easier)
2. I changed xml files to reflect useragent and zoom choice as desktop and far, so it will not mess up if you select settings.
+++YOU'LL FIND UAString TAB UNDER SETTINGS.+++
YES IT DOES STAY AFTER YOU CLOSE THE BROWSER, AND AFTER A REBOOT!
