Was searching the forums looking for a way to remove the clock from my status bar and have come to the conclusion it may be a little over my head at this point. Can make me a flashable zip to remove the clock? Or maybe some step by step instructions on how I would accomplish this? Thanks in advance.
Update 3/26---------------------------------------------------------------------------
JKILO is working on a flashable .zip for MikShift, so until then here's how you do it manually....
Instructions for removing status bar clock on an odex rom:
Props to JKILO and riggsandroid for helping a total noob and doing most of the work. Also thanks to Steelh for showing us the lines to replace. His method for deodex roms is here. If I forgot to add anyone that helped out, let me know. I always throw props where its deserved.
You are modding at your own risk. Nobody who helped bring this to you is responsible for bricked phones or temper-tantrums.
Requirements:
-Rooted Evo Shift
-Odex Rom
-Windows (I used Windows 7. If you are using another os, I'm sure you can figure it out. If not, ask)
-sdk properly set up
-smali\baksmali
-dexopt-wrapper
-knowledge of the above things (at least have the ability to google for info)
-a nandroid backup of your phone (for obvious reasons)
-patience
-/system mounted as r/w (I did this in terminal emulator from my phone: type:
"su" then hit enter. type: "mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system" then hit enter)
First thing you need to do is pull services.jar from /system/framework;
-"adb pull /system/framework/services.jar"
Next you need to open up services.jar with 7zip or winrar or something similar
Pull classes.dex out into a working folder with smali\baksmali
(I just did everything in my platform-tools folder in sdk so I didnt have to switch back and forth. You can do it however you want.)
Open command prompt as administrator
Cd to your work folder
Type this line:
java -jar baksmali.jar classes.dex
This will will create a folder named out in your work folder
Navigate to \com\android\server\status and look for StatusBarPolicy.smali
Open StatusBarPolicy.smali with Notepad or something similar
Search for:
.line 593
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V
Add the following line two spaces under that to look like this:
invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setinvisibilty(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V
It should look like this now:
.line 593
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V
invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setinvisibilty(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V
Now click file then save as. Be sure to change the file type or youll save it as a text file that is useless to you.
Now head back to your command prompt.
still being cd'd to your work folder, type this:
java -jar smali.jar out
This will create a new .dex file named out.dex. Rename it to classes.dex and replace the classes.dex from services.jar with the new one you just made.
Now place the modified services.jar and dexopt-wrapper on your sdcard and plug your phone into your computer. (charge only)
Back to command prompt in your platform-tools directory
Type these commands in the order they appear, hitting enter after each one:
-adb shell
-cd /system/bin
-busybox cp /sdcard/dexopt-wrapper /system/bin
-busybox chmod 755 dexopt-wrapper
-cd /sdcard
-dexopt-wrapper services.jar new.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.framework.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.pimlib.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.easopen.jar:/system/framework/com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar:/system/framework/com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar
- busybox dd if=/system/framework/services.odex of=new.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
-cd /system/framework
-busybox cp /sdcard/new.odex services.odex
-busybox chmod 644 services.odex
-sync
-reboot
Your phone will reboot and, viola! NO Clock!!!!

Download apktool - http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Follow instructions to setup your machine (installing framework, etc)
Decompile the services.jar in the /system/framework folder
Edit the lines indicated in teh smali files and recompile.
Push updated services.jar to your phone, reboot (takes a while, has to rebuild dalvik cache) and you should be good to go.
Thanks. I'll attempt this when I get home. If/when I get this completed, is it possible to make a general .zip file for others to flash if they are interested in doing the same thing? I've seen the question posed on many forums but haven't found a file that can be flashed. Would be nice to have something everyone can benefit from...
Edit: I'm guessing its gonna be Rom specific?

Figured as much. Hopefully I will be able to pull this off. I have not done any programming related stuff on Android yet. Most I've done is change an icon or two but that was pretty simple using ninjamorph. I literally know nothing about the file structure or coding. Might he time to start learning java at least if I'm gonna get into modding to this extent. We shall see how all this goes later tonight.
<Blaze One>
I have been trying to rebuild services.jar after editing StatusBarPolicy.smali and for some reason it doesn't work. I get something to this extent:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
(and then a bunch of other lines...)
Any idea what's goin on?
By the way, I'm replacing this:
.line 593
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V
With this:
.line 593
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V
invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V
Does this look right?
Thanks for any help...
Ok....I noob'd it. When a saved the changes to the StatusBarPolicy file I saved it as a text file somehow. Was able to build services.jar and push it back but the changes didn't take or something. Clock is still there. Am I editing the right line with right changes?

Just want to make sure - you restarted? It will take a little while because it has to rebuild the Dalvik Cache cause you modified the .jar file.
Yeah I actually mounted /system from recovery and pushed back in from there. I even tried it a second time, formatting dalvik cache. Do I need to restart an additional time?

Just remembered something I saw as services.jar was rebuilding. Right before it finished it said sources not found. Don't know if this gives a clue. Also I'm running dreads blue honeycomb theme. Would that have something to do with it?
<Blaze One>
Figured I would post the steps I took in case I'm messing it up somehow. I'm using Windows 7.
First thing I did was adb pull services.jar from /system/framework using: adb pull /system/framework/services.jar
Moved services.jar to a folder I created on the root of my c: drive called test.
Opened cmd as an administrator.
Decoded services.jar using : apktool d services.jar which created services.jar.out in my test folder.
Navigated to StatusBarPolicy.smali @ c:\test\services.jar.out\smali\com\Android\server\status
Edited the lines as stated previously.
Opened cmd back up and rebuilt with: apktool b -f -d services.jar.out which put the new services.jar in a new folder called build located in services.jar.out
Noticed at this point that the meta file wasn't in services.jar so I copied from the original to the new.
Then pushed back to phone while in recovery using: adb push services.jar /system/framework and booted.
See anything I'm doing wrong?
<Blaze One>
You don't need apktool to do that. Use smali.jar and baksmali.jar to decompile and recompile.
http://code.google.com/p/smali/
Download the two jar files under featured downloads. For ease of typing, rename them baksmali.jar and smali.jar, respectively, and put them in c:\. Open as archive with 7zip to pull the classes.dex file out. Move classes.dex to c:\. Open admin cmd prompt and type:
java -jar -Xmx512M baksmali.jar c:\classes.dex
This will dump classes.dex into a folder c:\out. Make your smali edit then to recompile the dex file type:
java -jar -Xmx512M smali.jar c:\out
This will produce c:\out.dex. Move the file to your Desktop, rename it classes.dex and put it back in your services.jar. Push the file in recovery, no need to clear dalvik cache and it should work. If it's still not working, link me your original services.jar and I'll try to get it working for you.
EDIT: btw, kudos to you for taking the initiative to learn this. I have much respect for that.

You know apktool uses small baksmali right?
i find it easier to use the same program for stuff - its nice that apktool does both .jar and .apk files.

Ok this is a quick little guide. Decided not to put this in the notification text thread as that needs to be cleaned up anyway.
This is for modifying .xml's in say /values or wherever you want. This particular example is going to use /values/styles.xml
First up, decode your framework using apktool
** Make a backup! **
Code:
: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/mytheme/backup.apk
: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk C:\themes\mytheme.apk
: apktool d -f C:\themes\mytheme.apk C:\themes\mytheme\decoded\
Then open up the /res/values/styles.xml.
Find "<style name="Widget.Button" parent="@style/Widget">
Change the textcolor to #FFFF0000
This will make all buttons have a RED text color.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now re-encode the file
Code:
:apktool b C:\themes\mytheme\decoded C:\themes\mytheme\encoded\mytheme-new.apk
Now, the simplest thing to do is to do the following:
- Open the original C:\themes\mytheme.apk with 7-zip
- Drag and drop the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml File into a folder, like C:\themes\mytheme\signed
* Now you have a copy you can always use, and skip the above steps after doing it once *
- Open the new encoded mytheme-new.apk with 7-zip
- Drag and drop the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the \signed directory
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
: adb push C:\themes\mytheme\encoded\mytheme-new.apk /sdcard/mytheme/framework-res.apk
: adb remount (if available for you!)
: adb shell
**Only if remount doesn't work.**
: mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
: cp /sdcard/mytheme/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
**Wait for the theme to apply, no need to reboot**
**If you Bootloop and stay in shell (which you should if you don't reboot)**
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
: cp /sdcard/mytheme/backup.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
**After this the bootloops should stop as your last stable framework is loaded**

That's it!
Questions? Comments? Leave em!
So, for instance, in the Vanilla Froyo theme for 2.1, where all of the text elements that should be a dark grey or black are white, this would allow me to change them?
Yep. Just a matter of figuring out which style controls what...that's next on my list to document lol. It's a LOT easier than trying to Hex Edit everything.
I'm really surprised this thread isn't exploding with questions, but I have to say great work, man!
I'm gonna wait it out until I know my way around the SDK a little more, but I really wanna dig through this and finish the Vanilla theme I'm using.
Thanks! I should make one big guide get it stickied and be fine with it lol. You can check out my vanilla theme fire an idea of what I've done.

Great tutorial man. I especially appreciate the part about not having to reboot. I wonder why everyone always says to do that for installing themes.
If you use apkmanager (which is a frontend for apktool) -- it automates some of the steps mentioned here. Its in the G1 development section as well as apktool.
Not work...
Very sad
After complete all steps, device not boot after LG lable longer.
Any ideas?

Phim, you're the best! I have been searching for a simple guide like this, as I found one a while ago when theming, but lost the link. Thanks for all your contributions on here, they are greatly appreciated! If I have some questions on editing some xml files, can I shoot you a PM or two?

I am trying to edit the color of the text in the drop down notification bar for the text such as USB Connection.
Can someone please tell me which xml file and which portion needs to be edited?
The font color would most likely be in the styles.xml file (in the values folder). I don't know which line exactly but you can take too different color versions and compare the decompiled xml files with word or online and look for differences.

Yae, thanks for the info. I found it shortly after posting through trial and error. I think it was in one of the status_bar_latest*.xml
For some reason when I made the esit and recompiled my famework-res.apk I lost adb capabilities and usb-mode and had to revert to a nandroid.
Any ideas on what may have caused this? Only edited an xml file...

Hi there, newbie here (but I've managed to decode all the java and xml, which is fully readable). Only thing I have left is this pesky "resources.arsc" file. I tried using both the xml way and java way, but neither worked, that's when I found your posting. Thanks so much for sharing btw!!
I haven't tried this yet because I'm confused about why you did not put a "C:" in the beginning of the file address to route the command to the folder on your sdcard which contains your .apk.
My .apk will be on my desktop, so, how should my command line look???
Thanks again, hope to here from you.
Ok, I managed to decode everything except resources.arsc. I imported package successfully into eclipse but I have errors. I looked through all XML, which is in English and good, except for the resources.arsc, which is not decoding by methods I'm familiar with. Your method will probably work but I need command prompt spelled out for me (sorry about that).
So, resources.arsc is located: desktop/space/resources.arsc. I'll play around with it an see what happens...

This reference assumes that you already know how to recompile a framework file using smali/baksmali.
You're my hero for this, steel.
Just saying.
This is something that has driven me straight up the wall. Having so many useless icons means that when I finally do get some notifications, they get pushed right off the edge. I really can only seem to fit ~4 notifications most of the time before I get the arrow.
Well I've got the necessary lines changed to take out the location icons... Now to repackage it. Thanks for this!
Uh... I've never signed a .jar before. Anyone???
EDIT: I attached the services.jar I edited. It has to be signed for the phone to even boot up. Hopefully someone can sign this.
This is hot... I like it a lot. I have been looking for something like this for quiet awhile. Now to read up on smali/baksmali. I know how to edit a .jar file but there are "files" within that file.... Great... But I have to learn at least one thing a day right. If anyone has insight for me feel free to enlighten us but google search will suffice for now.

Start here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/.
Thank you very much for posting this. This has been something bothering me since I got the device.
I have no idea how to use these tools, but I will figure them out.
EDIT: Figured it out. The steps worked! My taskbar is so clean and beautiful now!
Here are some VERY BASIC directions. Use at your own risk. They worked for me.
Make a backup of your services.jar on your device (or alternatively make a nandroid backup): adb shell cp /system/framework/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar.bak
Get services.jar from your device: adb pull /system/framework/services.jar .
Extract classes.dex from services.jar
Decompile the .dex file: java -jar baksmali.jar classes.dex -o outputdir
Make desired edits to the files now in outputdir/
Recompile the .dex file: java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar outputdir/ -o classes.dex
Add the new (modified) classes.dex file to the existing services.jar file (which is actually a zip file)
Cross your fingers and push services.jar back to your device: adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
Reboot device: adb reboot
How about someone post two edited and signed files to share with everyone else...?

I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) the services.jar could be different in certain ROMs or themes. It's better to make the edits yourself on the file that came off your device to preserve the integrity of the rest of your system.
EDIT: What we need is an app that makes the edits on the device for us...
Thanks, Xak

Sure thing. By the way, I love (and concur with) your avatar
So, as usual, I made this a lot more complicated than it needs to be. Somehow I was un-signing services.jar. I don't know. I got it to work now though. WORD!
many thanks to xak and the OP. with your help i was easily able to get rid of that pesky gps on/off icon! i appreciate the tips
Nice, this made me learn smali/baksmali and edit services.jar according to what I want.

Very useful information about services.jar, smali/baksmali, classes.dex can be found HERE
As someone else mentioned, they learned how to use smali/baksmali and do customizations themselves. My OP along with the link posted here gives you all the info you need to perform these mods yourself, and at the same time you will learn a great deal on customizing your evo; The benefits of which are endless!
One final note, you need to use the services.jar from the ROM you are running, THEY ARE NOT interchangeable due to the fact that almost all ROM devs add some customizations into their roms.
SteelH - thanks for posting this! I love learning new things, so this was interesting... wasn't exactly sure where to start though, so these steps from xak were a great help.

In addition to these steps, I wanted to mention a few things... these might be obvious to most, but hopefully they help someone.
- to extract and re-add classes.dex from/to services.jar, use winzip
- to modify the .smali files that Steel mentions, use notepad
- you will need to mount /system as read/write before you can push services.jar back to the phone
- it took a long time for my phone to reboot... i got pretty nervous
thanks again, I love not having the alarm and gps icons taking up space
My epic was lost,so I cannt continue to work for it.
Now i make a porting guide for you.You can continue to work for it based on the present build.It may need more additional works in the furture if the cm7 fixes others things.
1. Download miui_port_ns.zip and ns (or ns 4g,or others)miui rom from miui.us.
miui_port_ns.zip contains some files come from cm7 and EH17. What we need to do is that replace some files of miui.us latest rom with miui_port_ns's ones.
2. Extract miui_port_ns.zip to “miui_port_ns”.
3. Extract the ns(or ns 4g)miui rom to a new folder,then rename it “miui_epic”.
4. cd into “miui_epic”,delete all folders and files except “system” folder.(In the future,if our cm7 support mtd,you may need reserve some related files)
5. copy kernel_update/ and META-INF/ folders to “miui_epic”
6. cd into “miui_epic/system/vendor”
(1) delete bin/pvrsrvinit

Lol... just going to let you know.. you said you hope the rom does die
I'm pretty sure yall knew someone was gonna ask this sooner or later..
but, is there anyway a flashable version of this can be uploaded..
becasue I dont know what..
"cd into" means (maybe copy directory.. but I dont think thats right..)
"Smali" means..
"Baksmali" means..
"apktool b framework-res" mean..
pretty much im lost after step 3. "Extract the ns(or ns 4g)miui rom to a new folder,then rename it “miui_epic”."
I dont mind doing it myself and learning.. So maybe a link to a video that goes thru the steps..

These are commands that need to be run
"Cd" means change directory, move to folder etc.
"Smali" and "baksmali" are used to decompile and compile .jars basically.
And "apktool d framework-res.apk" will decompile the framework-res.apk.
If I'm wrong correct me please

If i understand what you are saying correctly...
A flashable version has been posted for a while: here
These instructions are for developers to be able to take the latest version as MIUI is updated and recompile it so that we have the latest version of MIUI available for our phones.

Yea.. that is the version that I was using for about a week, up till today..
but as I was reading the instructions from this one.. I noticed that it compiles files from miui_port_ns.zip with files from miui.us.. and I know miui.us is the "american version".. so I figured that it would take away most of the Japanese language/apps that I don't understand..
So, maybe this is a dumb question...
But aren't steps 6-8 irrelevant, if you proceed with step 9?

No.Should do "apktool b framework-res" first,then you can get the new file "resources.arsc" in framework-res/build/apk/ ,then put it in the original framework-res.apk.

I started last night on making a GUI that will automate this process. Basically all that will need to be done is the downloading of a new version whenever it comes out. I'm thinking the baksmali/smali stuff will cause an issue, and might not be able to be automated, and if that's the case, then i will just do as much automation as i can.
One question though... is this the smali/baksmali tool everyone is using?

On step 11(1) you have to "Smali framework.jar: apktool d framework.jar" does this mean i need to do both, or i can i do one or the other?

With the number of ICS ROMs that are popping out, I imagine the majority of people are spending their time on ICS rather than Gingerbread or Froyo. With that in mind, here's a little guide on how to decompile ICS .apk and .jar files (such as the troublesome SystemUI.apk) with ease so that you can mod them to your heart's content. I assume this method will work for other versions of Android as well. Just so we understand each other, this just helps you decompile the classes.dex. If you want to decompile an entire app or jar file there are other guides for that.
NOTE: We will NOT be using ApkTool, Apk Manager, or StudioAndroid to do this. Mainly because I have had trouble in the past using those applications to decompile certain files. So, here is an ALL MANUAL way.
What you need:
Deodexed .apk/.jar file
smali.jar
baksmali.jar
7zip or Betterzip (whether you are on Mac, Linux, or Windows)
terminal/cmd (depending on what you're running)
You can get the smali.jar and baksmali.jar files from here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list
Download these files:
Code:
baksmali-1.3.3.jar
smali-1.3.3.jar
and rename them to:
Code:
baksmali.jar
smali.jar
Now that you have both files, place them somewhere you'll remember (like a folder on your Desktop). For the purposes of this guide, my files will be in .../Desktop/ICS
Ready? Okay, here we go.
Open up your desired ICS .apk or .jar file with 7zip or Betterzip and extract the classes.dex and move it into the directory where you have baksmali.jar and smali.jar (For example, I move the classes.dex file to .../Desktop/ICS)
Open up terminal or cmd
cd to your directory
Example:
Code:
cd .../Desktop/ICS
Type the following:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
This will decompile the classes.dex file and create a folder inside .../Desktop/ICS called classout where all of your smali files will be located.
Go into the classout folder and make your smali edits
Compile your classout folder into new-classes.dex by typing this into terminal:
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
Rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex
Take your newly compiled classes.dex and put it into your ICS .apk or .jar using 7zip or Betterzip
Profit
Have fun :highfive:
Nice to have a write up on this in the Inc forums instead of having to hunt it down all the time. I've found it best to use smali and baksmali too, the apk aps were just too flaky for me.

Yeah I've had similar experiences as well. This method was the only one that worked flawlessly for me. Hopefully it works for you and everyone else who needs to modify ICS files.
I've used it in GB to do some of the modifications to the status bar, like hide the clock. Took the better part of a day googling to actually find a write up on how to use baksmali and smali as I couldn't get apkTool or apkManager to decompile or compile classes.dex properly. Now I know where to find the instructions when I need them again.
thank you for this nice write up. It did really help me
Man you are just awesome for posting this, I have been googling how to decompile and recompile .apk's and .jar's for a couple of days and nothing has worked. This worked great the first time around and was very simple to follow. I just hope that once I am done making my editsI do not have any troubles re compiling the .jar I am working with lol.
You know it is so ironic that I found your guide here on XDA. It seems like everytime i want to learn how to do something like this I can google all day without much success on finding something that works. But when I do find something that works around 90% to 95% of the time it is here on XDA. You have got to love XDA...

Here is another solution to disable the lockscreen vibration. Root is needed.
Be careful, you are responsible for everything you do, not me.
Please don't ask, i won't do anything like a graphical interface or else to enable/disable.
This thread was the inspiration: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605363
I dont yet know how to compile the source from this thread, so i searched for another way, baksmalimanager is the solution.
It decompiles and recompiles .jar files and their contents.
Download baksmalimanager
Take the framework.jar from /system/framework/ on the device and place it into the baksmalimanager directory on the pc.
Be sure to remain a backup of this file if something doesn't work.
Then run "baksmali Manager.bat" press 4 to select the framework.jar file and then 1 to decompile it.
Open this directory path inside your baksmalimanager directory framework\com\android\internal\widget\multiwaveview.
Open MultiWaveView.smali in a text editor, search for "setVibrateEnabled" until you find following line, remove it completely:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v11}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/MultiWaveView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
Save the file. Run "baksmali Manager.bat" again if you closed it. Press 4, select the framework.jar and then press 2 to recompile.
Then open the framework.jar with 7-Zip or something else like that and replace the classes.odex file with the one from the baksmalimanager directory. Think of the backup before you do it.
Then replace the framework.jar in your devices /system/framework/ directory with the modded framework.jar.
Reboot and vibration is gone.
If something doesn't work like expected. Replace with the original framework.jar again.
works great on CM9 ROM latest nightly build for SGS2,,,,,now i can remove the vibra,,,,,thx a lot mate,,,
just suggestion, it's better to include adb.exe and all related files because without it,your program cannot work,,,
And you're now +1 in your thx meter,,,,
A couple of Qs before I replace my old framework.jar:
1.What if I just put '#' before the line I'm supposed delete? Seeing as # is usually a comment and does not affect the code, isn't it the same if I comment it or delete it? I did delete it, i'm just asking out of curiosity...
2.As much as I can understand, you don't need ADB for this, right? The program decompiles the .jar file without it with no problems, at least for me...
You got your thanks
EDIT: Works like a charm on my HTC Desire (SpazeDog's ICS ROM). Finally, the dreaded vibrations have stopped!
Though the answers to the upper questions would be appreciated...
thank you for this, works great on Galaxy Ace with CM9
Thanks Heaps badcrow! Works perfectly on Galaxy S2, CM9.0.0.
1. Tested commenting out the line (with #) and it works perfectly.
2. Doesn't need ADB coz it's working on the file on your PC, not on your phone, just hit any key when baksmali tells you.
Still have vibrate elsewhere, just not on lockscreen. Also, the file I replaced in framework.jar was classes.dex (not .odex).

I really don't want to say this, but; I told you so
As for the other vibrations, see other settings ot other baksmali files and mess with them
on AOSP JellyBean 4.1.1, I had to edit GlowPadView.smali to remove the vibration.
"framework\com\android\internal\widget\multiwaveview"
form this:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v6}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/GlowPadView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
to this:
Code:
[B]#[/B]invoke-virtual {p0, v6}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/GlowPadView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
this has worked for me.
im very confused bro...
"replace the classes.odex file with the one from the baksmalimanager directory."
in baksmalimanager directory not file the classes.odex,,,
You 'baksmali' the jar file (de-compile), make the edits you need and 'smali' (compile). Once you do that, you should have a classes.dex (not .odex, but .dex !!) file.
Then just take 7Zip (or winrar, or whatever else can open .jar files) and replace the original classes.dex with the one you 'smali'd'

Open this directory path inside your baksmalimanager directory framework\com\android\internal\widget\multiwaveview.
Open MultiWaveView.smali in a text editor, search for "setVibrateEnabled" until you find following line, remove it completely:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v11}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/MultiWaveView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
Save the file. Run "baksmali Manager.bat" again if you closed it. Press 4, select the framework.jar and then press 2 to recompile.
Then open the framework.jar with 7-Zip or something else like that and replace the classes.odex file with the one from the baksmalimanager directory. Think of the backup before you do it.
Then replace the framework.jar in your devices /system/framework/ directory with the modded framework.jar.
Reboot and vibration is gone.
If something doesn't work like expected. Replace with the original framework.jar again.

Hmmm. Doesn't seem to work for me Maybe I did something wrong. I had to deviate from these steps a little for my phone. Maybe I screwed it up.
I have a deodexed stock rom for Droid 4 running ICS 4.0.4. I actually found this file and line of code in the framework-ext.jar file instead of framework.jar. And, for some reason, baksmali manager wouldn't find the file when I typed 4, unless I renamed the file to framework.jar. Once I did, it found it and decompiled it fine. I changed the code and recompiled, and copied the classes.odex file into the framework.jar file. Then I renamed it BACK to framework-ext.jar. But when I put it back in the system/framework directory, the phone got stuck at the Droid Eye screen on bootup. It just continuously showed it. I had to used adb to push the old file back in place.
Can you just not do it this way? Any ideas? Thanks
How come Baksmali didn't recognize a .jar file? It does, with every version of the name 'framework' I've tried...
BTW, was there even an .dex file inside the .jar file? (de-odexed, kinda sounds like there aren't any more .dex files... just a thought, tho, since I have no idea what that actually means...)
Did you delete the old version of the framework-ext.jar? Or at least rename it (I keep a renamed original copy of the file right there in /system/framework, just in case)?

I'm not sure why it didn't recognize the framework-ext.jar file. Was hoping you could tell me Well anyway, it looks like my rename method should work, because all that Baksmali does is extract the file. So, if I gotta rename framework-ext.jar to framework.jar to do the work, and then change it back, it shouldn't matter. And yes the .dex file was in there (and lol nice xP )
I figured out what I did wrong. I replaced the .dex file with 7Zip incorrectly. I couldn't figure out how to place the new .dex file into the .jar file, so I tried clicking "Copy" and changed the destination directory to C:\...\framework-ext.jar. What that did was erase the .jar file, and replaced it with a renamed version of the .dex file. Whoops, haha I later figured out that you can just drag and drop.
Ok, so my phone boots now....Buuuuuuut....the vibration is still there???? The lockscreen still vibrates. Although, the vibration doesn't seem as intense as before. But, it's still there, even if I disable "Vibrate on Touch" in the sound menu.
I checked to make sure that I didn't accidentally put the original framework-ext.jar file into /system/framework/, but I confirmed that I put the modified file in there with the line of code removed, so I'm not crazy Maybe this method just doesn't work completely on my ROM, but I like that the vibration is at least less intense. Thanks so much for the help!
Request for option on CM website
Hi gyus,
thaks for the explanations.
I don't really like to change the code so I requested the option to able or disable vibrations on lock screen on the CM website.
Maybe if we're enough to say it's a good idea, they'll actually program it
Here is the post (as I'm a new member I can't post outside links, repalce underscores by dots)

If you didn't subscribe, I suggest you do it because there is many many good stuff there too

on AOSP JellyBean 4.1.1, I had to edit GlowPadView.smali to remove the vibration.
"framework\com\android\internal\widget\multiwaveview"
form this:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0, v6}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/GlowPadView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
to this:
Code:
[B]#[/B]invoke-virtual {p0, v6}, Lcom/android/internal/widget/multiwaveview/GlowPadView;->setVibrateEnabled(Z)V
this has worked for me.

Recently installed CM9 from modpank and encountered this problem, but your version, help me! Thank you!
Just an update on this, if you want this to work on the ICs and JB lockscreen you also need to repeat the process for GlowPadView.smali as well.
4.2.1
Does anyone know how to get it to work on 4.2.1? I tried it 3 different times with no luck.
thats what you get with a new firmware
Ask on the ROM thread, maybe? If there's enough interest, maybe the DEVs will include a setting in the next version...
there‘s no MultiWaveView.smali after decompiling of moto fire xt
What about some info about your ROM...?
Wouldn't that be nice?
