Need help with samsung puzzle lockscreen (problem solved) - General Questions and Answers

So I remade all of the images from the samsung vibrant "puzzle" lockscreen.I thought I would be able to use root explorer and copy them in to the framework.apk in the system>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-hdpi folder ....
I was able to get the files in the folder, but its still the same lock screen that is standard on bionix 1.3.1
Any help??How should I go about doing this?
Someone PMd me telling me what i was doing wrong... this thread can be deleted.
Thanks!

Be Tuned For Apps2Sd & An Rom With At-least 30 MB Of Free Internal Memory Build....M Currently Initializing Source Code So That Will Help Me With Some Stuffs Like Update-Script & Some Stabilization Of ROM...
SUPERUSER ENABLER
Thers no SuperUser Apk Working On Haykuro's Hero Rom, So to get It Working, Only Installing Is Not Enough So I have Got It Working, Follow This Steps...

Rosie UI Enhancer/Optimizer
Note: U Must not Be Using Apps To SD Other Than The Default app_s folder
Means U must Not Have /Data/app Moved to /System/sd/app
The Rosie UI Dosent Need The Launcher.apk, So This Script Removes It.
This Script Moves/Installs Rosie Application To Internal Memory...
MoreOver, The Rosie UI Uses The HTC Widgets Which Are Seperate Applications, So Even If The Rosie Loads Fast, The Widgets Make It Slow...
So This Script Even Moves/Installs The HTC Widgets To Internal Memory...

If Any one else left inform me i ll add..
Please add this to the wiki and PM me the url so I can add it to the roundup thread.
Only post problems with the above thread. Do not go off topic.
ryanmo5 opened this thread saying it didn't work and it messed up his home screen.
Thank you ryan for trying this out and letting us know.
i tried this and it says no such file or directory on all files. And then it says it cant find .apks for all files to install. Ok i didnt even look at my home screen all my widgets are gone except the clock. When i try to add the htc widgets im left with only 4 widgets.
Also the Install-Enable-SU.bat did not work for me. Was stating batch was inoperable.
Yeah, the UI tweak totally borked my phone. It locks up at the HTC logo. I went back to ion till tomorrow.
WEE!!!
AWESOME. This is fantastic. Thank you for your hard WORK!! much appreciated! Seems to have worked like a charm for me and i can really notice a huge speed boost especially when going back to the home screen.
I have found my HEROOO!
Oh and btw, when you do the part to optmize for Rosie, the folder that contains the apks should be renamed from Rosie to Files. That will make things work. It did for me.
I miss the Rosie UI lock screen though... its gone?
But wow incredibly speedy and even a lot more stable? Thank you sangeet.003 and all the other FANTASTIC developers on this forum who keep me and my G1 busy with fun goodies.
Here is a oddball question, couldn't someone just create a update.zip with all this done? I'm not familiar with signing pkgs and what not. So I'm not 100%.
i'm a mac user.
but i kind of smart when it comes to these things so i got it to work.
but for other mac users do you think you can just up load the files and post the
adb commands.

I think i read somewhere that it wouldn't be possible because of how big the update.zip would be which is why when flashing Hero, you need the ext2 to store the apps_2
the great thing is, if you just keep testing, reading and messing around with running everything from roms, scripts, commands and tweaks, you eventually get things to work and and you find a huge satisfaction and semi-understanding of it all and you find yourself appreciating the developers here for their work.
Wow its four in the morning and i think im on a strong sugar high because i never post.
so changing the folder from rosie to files worked for you

yeah rename "Rosie" to "Files"
well did a refresh of Hero and applied all the tweaks here (after renaming the folder as well) and all is wel. thanks a ton for this!
I was wondering if you could use app2sd after using this mod, or will this disable apps2sd?
Ok i did it and it works but there is a slight problem the messaging widget dosent show up. its completely gone. i read the batch file and its missing from the batch file. If you could re write it with the htc messaging app included then this app would be perfect. Or does anyone know how i could get the htc messagine widget back by myself

I think if you placed the "Files" folder onto c:/android (or wherever you put adb) and then:
adb push files/htcmsgwidgets.apk /data/app
that *might* work, not sure because I haven't tried it myself.

That is weird because i have super user and terminal working on mine just fine from JF previous install
a few widget's were missing..
clocks & contacts
also in the batch file, the msg widget was not reinstalled onto internal memory(probably just forgot to add that line)
so I redid his batch file to include the 2 missing widgets as well as adding the line for the msg widget and changed the folder to files
cause I know how lazy most of you are
http://hotfile.com/dl/4938120/a4a6fc0/Rosie_UI_Optimizer__ALLwidgets.zip.html
and for the mac user's
just open the .bat file in text editor (.bat files are nothing more than text anyways) in there you can see each command that is run and do it yourself manually,...
yeah it's a ***** but I'm not about to figure out how to write a shell script for OSX on XP just to appease my old brethren, maybe pickup a copy of BBcode and insert the commands, don't know it that would even work, just a thought heh.
---credits to sangeet.003 for goin' through the trouble to make this batch files, I'm just an "editor"
everything worked perfectly and 20 times faster not exact but i see a huge difference just now noticed that the messages widget was missing so bout to add that thanks to all developers working hard im sticking with hero i know people love it as much as I do so it has to keep getting better

LatinIME.apk/Keyboard installation help please

I couldn't find an appropriate thread to place this under, but this looked like the most logical.
I recently rooted my phone and installed a custom rom on it. The Smoked Glass v6.0.1. I find the default apps very annoying and found a way to make them disapear. I changed the .apk file in the/system/app section to .bak.
Well in this rom the Voice Search app is also connected with the Android keyboard. If I remove the Voice Search I also remove the virtual keyboard. The app is called VoiceSearchWithKeyboard.apk.
So I changed it to .bak and tried to install the android stock keyboard called LatinIME.apk. I also found the libjni_latinime.so. I pushed these to my phone using the SDK tool. One to the /system/lib and the other to /system/app. When I booted my phone up I didn't get the keyboard. So I also pushed the LatinIME.odex over to the /system/app file and it still didn't work. The phone ended up not being able to boot up, so I had to go into flash recovery and back up the phone.
So I am just wondering what am I doing wrong? I know this may not make sense as to why I just don't deal with the extra icon. But I don't know, I just want it perfect I quess.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

MILocker and MIUI Lockscreens

A bunch of MILocker and MIUI Lockscreens
I downloaded some new lock screens, and whenever I apply them, just the wallpaper changes and the actual lockscreen part stays the same. Any help?
The .mtz file is just a renamed zip. Look inside, is there a file called lockscreen or is there a folder called lockscreen?
If it's a folder do this:
Unzip the whole thing to a folder called work.
Next, zip what's inside the lockscreen folder, (not the lockscreen folder, just what's inside). Call it lockscreen, if an extension gets added, rename it without the extension.
Next delete the lockscreen folder.
Next zip everything inside of the work folder. Call it Test.
Next rename Test.zip to Test.mtz and copy it to your phones miui/theme folder.
You should be good to go after you disconnect the phone from your computer and let it scan the sdcards.
Note: This can also be done on your phone without the aid of a computer.
If this doesn't help, let me know which lockscreen you were trying to get working.
I'm guessing there's no shortcut to that ^?

I thought that my info was straight and to the point. When themes are written for one program, sometimes a little change needs to be made for them to work with others. As in the MiLocker doesn't read a lockscreen folder. Hence, it has to be zipped within the theme.
Heck, I'm an ex-junky who's lost more brain cells to acid then anyone that I know. If I can do/figure it out, anybody can.
Not able to see themes on Milocker
Hi,
I installed Milocker, and downloaded couple of .mtz themes... I copied the .mtz files to sdcard/MIUI/Themes folder...but when i Look at Milocker in Local section I am not able to get any themes.......
Please help....
Looks like these are for older MIUI, probably 2.3.x. Depending on what version you are running ymmv...

[Q] Overscrolling effect.

Does anyone know how to change the overscrolling effect? It would be best if I could have the stock ICS effect.
I'm using Slim ICS - ROM. Until a few Minutes I had the stock ICS overscrolling effect, but (I don't know how) it changed to something like a very ugly orange bar or stripe with a '+' at its center...
The last thing I could remember to flash was the new matr1x kernel...
(Of course it doesn't have to be the stock overscrolling effect if you have a better one )
What you need to do to change the overscroll is go I to root explorer, system file and copy the framework apk. Paste it to your SD card. Connect to PC and pull the file onto your comp. Download apk manager and copy file to the " to be edited folder" extract apk. Color anything you want with paint.net. go back Into tthe script for apk manager and hit "3". Apk rezips. DO NOT SIGN APK. then copy the modded apk to SD. Reverse first couple steps and replace framework apk in the system/framework file. Reboot and you just themed your first apk.... a lot easier than it sounds
.....Clones & Drones.....
PS... DO NOT TOUCH THE FILES THAT END IN. ".9"

If you have the apk manager could you please upload it and send me the link? I only found megaupload links... and i think you know that megaupload is down...
EDIT: I found it... but now I have a much bigger problem: I just realized that many Images are wrong. example: The USB-Debugging image is now the same image as on the notification when a wifi network was found...

How did you do that???????/?

sense 3.6 theming/modding help needed

Guys,
I really need your help here!!
I beginning to try to create status bar themes for sense 3.6 ROMs on 3.33 base but am getting a bit stuck.
I've pulled all the .pngs I want to edit from SystemUI.apk (decomplied with Multi APK Tool), edited them using photoshop and saved them (Keeping the filenames the same) then recompiled to get the new APK (ensuring it is still named SystemUI.apk).
I don't know how to create flashable zips so have used root explorer to replace the original SystemUI.apk file with my new one and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted but nothing changes.
I don't know if I need to edit more than these image files (like stuff in framework.res.apk) or if there's anything else apart from image editing I need to do. Can anyone please guide me on this?
Once I can do this, I would love to be able to create flashable zips, to flash new themes and I have found odd bits of info here and there online about how to create them, but I am still unsure about this, so if anyone can help me with that as well, it would be great.
Can anyone please help/guide me here?]
Thank you :fingers-crossed:
