Ok, to know if I have an understanding of the SK4G enough to begin development, as I don't own the phone, I have developed a quick Gingerbread theme.
Full GB theme with accurate GB battery.
This is not a flash. Push the files to your framework folder, test, take screenshots, and report back - please.
I do not have the phone so no screenshots but this is based off my Vibrant ROM located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061811
Framework is based off the Dump found in the dev section.
If there is no input, then I will assume there is no interest and find my way back to the Vibrant section.

Ill try it later today hopefully. Busy day today.
Anyone test this yet? Is it sgs II theme?

Hey, I've been quite busy so I haven't been able to try this out yet. My only question is how I will revert after doing this? I can get into the recovery but its or the epic so the keys aren't mapped correctly.

I'm busy but I made a quick rar for you. Flash it in CWM to push back stock framework-res.apk and tw-framework.apk in case system won't boot. (you may want to clear cache before flashing as I didn't add it into the script Im in a rush)
edit: also you can just adb push the stock files back from inside recovery... your pc should still detect the phone

What are the movement keys for cwm? I booted into recovery once and saw that the correct keys weren't working..
Id save his cwm flash on the card just in case, then use root explorer to push mine in place.
Or right click on his choose copy then paste. Rename the new ... - copy.zip to gbtest.zip. Then using 7zip, open, not extract, the gbtest.zip, navigate to the framework, and drag my framework in and it will overwrite his - now close the zip and save both to your card. You can now flash mine and then revert with his.

I push everything from recovery and save the files I want to push to the tools folder so I just have to use:
cd c:/android/tools
c:/android/tools adb push framework-res.apk system/app/framework-res.apk
c:/android/tools adb reboot
im a little confused.. i cant seem to access adb. theres no bootloader, so what state does the phone need to be in?
also, i would flash via cwm, but the sdcard wont mount, so im a tad confused at this point.
ok, i figured out how to get into adb, but the files wont push. i get an error:
c:\Users\Bryan\AndroidSDK\tools>adb push framework-res.apk system/app/framework-
res.apk
failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to 'system/app/framework-res.apk': Read-only
file system
c:\Users\Bryan\AndroidSDK\tools>
EDIT: I ended up just using Root Explorer and i put the 2 framework files into system/framework manually. If you need more screens let me know. Also, as you can see in the screen shots, the txt is hard to see in the options and "add to home screen" windows.. i went to the theme options and changed the theme bar colors, which changed the txt to black.

Hey, I just used the theme changer. Its built into the sk4g. I had my theme set to the default, but when I changed it to the light blue It changed some of the txt on the widget selector menus black. Though, the power off menu is still white, so its hard to read.
Thanks alot, and that could be handled by xml edit to change the text color most likely or change the popup background color.. thanks again though.
Have you tried pushing the stock framework back to make sure it'd work ? I might see if I can change the popup background color to a darker color like black or grey to keep it in sync with he gingerbread theme

Yeah let me know if you get something going. Im waiting for Jellette to get back on so we can figure out what to do next.
By chance, do you have a working recovery? i can boot into it, but the controls are weird, and i cant get my sdcard to mount, therefore it wont let me do any nandroid backups..
Looking at the pics now. But thats what I needed to know, it looks like the themechanger overwrites xml changes in the framework.

Always perform a nandroid backup before attempting any mods.
This is a tutorial on how to change the music widget to the one of your liking. It doesn't matter if you have the Dude build and want the G build widget or have the G build and want the 1.5Hr1 widget. This will work for any cupcake (Android 1.5) user who is not happy with their current music widget. I use a windows PC and I am not a Linux guru so I'm not going to attempt to tweak my tutorial for Linux users. Hopefully it's not to hard for them to figure it out from this. (I think it's just file path differences, maybe?)
First step is to have ADB commands working on your computer. Follow this link if you don't know how to do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
Now that you have ADB, you have to download the appropriate music player/widget that you prefer.
This one is for installing the dark blue music widget with the off-center play/pause button and the transparent record and needle logo. My personal favorite for looks, but has a play/pause with a easy to miss touch area.
http://rapidshare.com/files/227653807/Music_fancy_widget_G_build.apk
This one is for installing the plain white and pale blue music widget with rectangular shape and the large play/pause button with it's large touch area.
http://rapidshare.com/files/227653907/Music_standard_build.apk
This third option is for future development. You can "harvest" a third music widget/player from a third source that doesn't yet exist using the ADB pull command. Lets say your using build X, but build Y has a theme available and you love the themed music widget on themed build Y. What you do is perform a nandroid backup of your current build so you can return to it later and install build Y and then theme it. (Don't waist your time setting up your settings because you won't be on this build for long. Just make sure USB debugging is enabled in settings > Applications > Development so you can use ADB.) You can skip this step if you have access to a friends phone who's already running the music player/widget you want. Connect the USB cable to the phone and go into where you run your ADB commands in Command Prompt on your PC. Type in this command.
adb pull system/app/Music.apk c:\your_path_here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The "system/app/Music.apk" part of the command is case sensitive. This will create the Music.apk with the widget you want at the path you specify. Next you can use Fastboot to restore your nandroid backup of build X. (Nandroid saves everything. It's as if you never left.)
Next step is to rename the downloaded file "Music.apk". It's case sensitive and take note of the folder path it's in.
Next, enter the following ADB commands from the appropriate place in Command Prompt. (Start > Run > type "cmd")
adb remount
adb shell rm -r system/app/Music.apk
adb push c:\your_path_here\Music.apk system/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
"system/app/Music.apk" and "system/app" parts are both case sensitive.
saying no such directory, would apps to sd card cause that, and ifso what would i instead need to put in?
i never knew there was a difference between the music widgets...
whats different about them?
the gui??

On the last step, adb push, dont just put your directory, put in the file name also, Music.apk. For example, i put the file on my C directory to make it easy, so I typed "adb push c:\Music.apk system/app" without the "".
FYI - I have Apps2SD and I used the above command. Guess that doesn't make a difference, assuming because the symlinks say so? I'm such a Linux noob!!!!

I'm not a frequent Linux user, but I know a couple of commands. You could download the apk file to your sdcard and try this. This method is not recommended!
su
rm -r system/app/Music.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will delete your old music player. Next, you can just install the new music player apk through Apps Installer or whatever you use in it's place. This will allow you to use the new music player as if it was any other 3rd party app. However, I recommend uninstalling it and doing it through the ADB push when you get home.
yeah the app installer method didn't work for me

Did you delete the original Music.apk first? Do you have cupcake, or are you using JF RC33 like it says in your sig? This music player has a widget embedded and needs cupcake. If neither of these is the problem, then just use the adb push commands in the first post. I don't recommend using apk installer. I just posted that to help out someone who was too impatient to get home to his pc.

Haha ended up doing it at home anyways. =D Yeah i was kinda doing nothing at work. So as usual I started fidgeting with my phone.
the steps given in the first post work perfectly...!!!
i am on ADP1.5H A2SD...Gud Work...THNX..!!
If someone could post screenshots of the different UIs, that'd be great.
For some reason, when I pushed the Music.apk it worked fine, but when I tried to do the same thing with the CalendarProvider.apk, it didn't....
This method works for me as well. How do you take screenshots with the new builds?
CalendarProvider.apk... Just do a normal .apk installation.
Does this only work for Rooted phones as when I try it I get permission denied
Code:
C:\android\tools>adb shell rm -r system/app/Music.apk
rm failed for system/app/Music.apk, Read-only file system
C:\android\tools>adb shell
$ su

su: permission denied

music.apk
can someone post some different download links for the two different music.apk builds? rapidshare has always hated me and will still not let me download either of them saying that my ip address is already downloading something. thanks.
Can someone post pics of all the music widgets in order to compare them?
Download v0.2 here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AE4KBC1W
By downloading this you take full responsibility for your actions
original swype.apk if needed http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1S7SILS4
*optional (using astro or root explorer) Navigate to your system/app folder, find the existing swype.apk, make a copy to a back up location.
Rename the download to Swype. Place this on your sd card, navigate to it with astro or your fav file browser, open the apk and choose uninstall to uninstall other version. Then choose install.
if it doesnt uninstall....
Open terminal emulator on your X
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
reboot
After reboot verify its gone.
Reopen Terminal Emulator
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Swype.apk /system/app
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
exit
Open a text box and verify.
This cannot be done by copy and paste in root explorer.
Credit goes to ME
About to try this, I'll let you know if it works.
Worked great thanks bad4u6669!
Worked great, although I had to use the terminal commands. Out of curiosity, is there any reason why I had to resort to using the terminal commands? The installer just failed to install.

You don't have to install. Just set permissions and reboot once you drop it in the system apps folder. That assumes you have deleted or renamed the original file.
Straight install typically wont work because the file is edited and it knows it. So you have to force it in there, dont take no for an answer!!!
Worked like a charm =). Best part is the caps lock button has a green indicator to differentiate between it and the shift. Thanks again!
This is a nice upgrade from the homely blue and grey. Thanks.
Nice, looks MUCH better than the blue "Swype -X-"
Works well too
I noticed the Swype icon is just a bit too low in the button
And in the edit panel (Swype from the Swype icon button to the "abc" button) the text is white and hard to read
So the swype icon you hit to bring up the options sits too low in its little box? Possible screen shot.
In the edit box that pops up, what color should it be changed to? One that still goes with the theme but at the same time makes the text readable.
Let me know, get me some screen shots, I'll work on it later.
Okay, the install failed and the terminal commands didn't work. It moved the modified Swype.apk to system/app but it still fails the install.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: I didn't uninstall the first Swype. There was no uninstall option in the App Manager. Both the one that Root Explorer pulls up and the one in Settings/Applications.
EDIT 2: Okay, I reinstalled stock Swype and uninstalled it. Now I'm going to try the terminal.

I'll do a writeup in a second.
What I did:
1. Email MegaUpload link to my phone because USB wasn't playing nice.
2. Save as Swype.apk
3. Move it to /sdcard (was in /sdcard/downlaods)
Here's where I go wrong.
4. Delete Swype.apk in /system/app
5. Move modified Swype.apk to /system/app
6. Try install and terminal.
Here's where I fix it.
7. Delete modified Swype.apk in /system/app
8. Download original Swype.apk (I somehow lost the backup I saved >.<)
9. Place in /system/app.
10. Install
11. Go to Settings/Applications
12. Uninstall Swype
13. Use terminal
14. ??????
15. Profit!
I edited the screenies into the last post but here they are again.

You get to this menu when you Swype from OPT to ABC.
You should note the Swype logo is misaligned in portrait mode as well as landscape.
Yes, the last few screenshots explain exactly what I was trying to say
Swype icon sits too low, edit panel text is hard to read
AHHHH i see now, ok 2 options, leave that one keyboard as stock XSwype, so it will be gray and blue, or shade those keys gray(or some other color). Swype itself puts the images there when the keyboard is loaded. Its not like all the other keyboards where the letters are part of the image. Changing just one part of the code is beyond my capabilities...
Hi all.. Having a problem changing the system background on my daughters x10.. (The background you get behind all the system menus and apps like calculator and calendar etc..)
I did this on my Arc recently and it was a doddle - once I'd got the images cropped to the right size..
So here's what I did on the X10.
Copied the framework-res.apk to the SD card
Opened it using 7zip
navigated to res\drawable-hdpi
replaced the semc_bg and semc_general_bg images with the new ones I'd created.
then navigated to res\drawable-land-hdpi and replaced the semc_bg image in there.
copied the file back into the system folder.
changed the permissions to rw-r--r--
copied it to framework folder...
phone reboots and then gets stuck at sony ericsson white logo screen...
reflashed using SEUS twice now!..
On the Arc I also had to amend the image files in another place.. SemcGenericUxpRes\res
but I don't seem to have that folder on the x10...
Thanks.
** BUMP ** Anyone?
What rom/firmware are you on?
How are you moving the framework-res?

Try moving it using adb push. Or use adb mask controller or x10 mod tool if you like/need a gui. You could also make a zip for xrecovery if you have it installed. Root explorer method never worked for me on x10 either...

adb should work just fine. Also have you installed recovery ? If no do it and take nandroid before doing it. It would go back to just like it was before.
Yea, xrecovery is super-easy to install & well worth it. Plus you (or one of us) could add the framework-res into a flashable zip we know will work.
BTW, there is a free version of titanium... &/or xrecovery will back up your entire phone as realunited said.
Thanks - Yeah - realised there was a free version after I posted - got it mixed up in my head with Root Explorer!.. yes - have xrecovery on there too.. is nandroid on the market? or is it part of xrecovery - not used it for a few months..
Cheers.
It just means using the backup option in xrecovery. There is a tut for making xrec zips in the dev section or post the framework-res here & I can look at it later when I get home.

Hi Aydee - Thanks for your help with this so far!!.. I've done a nandroid backup on the x10 and trying to ADB push the file - it won't let me - says "permission denied".. I tried ADB Remount and shell commands...
$ adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
both not giving me r/w access...
X10 is rooted and busybox installed....
What am I doing wrong?!
[edit - got the su working in shell.. and tried mtdblock2 also.. still won't let me push!]
[edit2 - unsecured the shell and mounted as rw... still won't let me push!!.. saying permission denied!]
To be honest I havent used just straight up adb in a while other than zipaligning, I usually use x10 mod tool or xrecovery zips lately. They have been a reliable and quick. So my manual commands are rusty at best.. Would you want to try one of the other ways maybe? Or I'm sure someone else will know why push isnt working...

Thanks Aydee tried x10 mod tool last night - was getting the same error - seems the phone isn't properly unsecured... will try a few different things later.. if anyone else has other ideas.. I'd appreciate it!

It looks like it didn't get the su permission. Check your phone after typing su. If you want i can make a zip to flash.
Hi - Yeah it got the SU ok.. don't really know why it wasn't working - Think it may be to do with the way I was using ADB push - I was trying to push the file directly into the system or framework folders.. x10 mod tool pushed it to a "SD" folder first then ran another shell command to replace it in the framework folder.. don't really know enough about it !!.. anyway.. got it working via x10modtool.. just need to figure out how to do the same now for the phone and phonebook.. presume it's a PNG within those individual apps?
When making a ZIP.. does it need to be a complete system image or can you just zip the framework-res file on it's own and zip that via xrecovery?
Cheers!

Just drag the framework-res.apk into the framework folder without extracting it. After that just flash it.
so presumably I would need to either ADB pull the whole FRAMEWORK folder first? or take a copy using a file manager (AKA root explorer etc)..?

Completely off-topic but how do you like the micro cell? I was thinking about getting one.
i like it. works like it is supposed to. i live in the one spot of the city that gets no coverage at all and it gives me signal. they only down side is that if you are streaming a video or downloading files it will get very choppy (which is understandable). but other than that it is awesome.

If this sounds like a noob...well it actually is...but what is a micro cell and is it for the A2..?
Basically it is a mini cell tower in your home that uses your internet. So if like me you get no reception at home it will give you full reception.

How did you replace them? Root Explorer or ADB? Because if you did it with root Explorer, it would have automatically rebooted when you replaced the Framework.apk, and then continue to bootloop after that. If you did use root explorer, the issue is a result of incorrect permissions being set on the framework apk.
Assuming your phone is rooted, you can chance the permissions to the framework.apk, or push the original back to the phone. I dont know the exact commands to put into the terminal, but hopefully someone here could type those out and list them?
Hope it helps, and good luck!, because what just happened was, your phone was soft-bricked, and until an sbf is released that you could flash, this would be the only plausible way to fix it.
DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET/DATA WIPE THROUGH THE STOCK RECOVERY!
It will get rid of your root permissions, and then there's no hope until an sbf is released .

Your going to have to use adb for this!
1. download the system dump over at the development section for atrix 2
2. you will need 2 file from the dump framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
3. put those 2 files on the root of ur sdcard
4. load adb and at the prompt type this
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cat /sdcard/SystemUI.apk > /system/app/SystemUI.apk
chmod 755 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
now type this for framework
cat /sdcard/framework-res.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Next type
reboot
That should fix it ......
let me know how it works for ya
I screwed up my phone, there's not launcher, touchwiz, and system ui fail, setting app fails. Everything is screwed up. I'm really new to this, but is there any way to install these things (I have the apks) from recovery?

Download your stock firmware and extract the system file from the firmware and grab whatever you need from the stock system file and put it into this sample.zip that i have attached.If you want to add any more things,pls add additional codes into the updater script
If you have cwm recovery then you can use adb to push the respective files to their places and set permissions
sorry for any ty¶°s

"One simply doesn't mess with phone without having a custom recovery "
Still if your ROM boots and your rooted and you have adb on your PC (its a must bro , I personally can't live without it )
Type (not the part in *le something* )
Adb shell *le presses enter*
Su *le presses enter again*
Mount -o rw, remount /system /system *le does it again*
Exit *enter*
Exit *enter*
Example if you want to push systemui
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
*enter*
Similarly push all other apps
Adb shell *le presses enter again*
Su
Chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Change the SystemUI.apk to what ever app you want to replace
This Is one of these moments we realise how important adb and custom recoveries are

I can't enable debugging, the rom boots fine, as soon as it gets to the lock screen, there are no settings, because setting stops working, touchwiz stops working and so does systemui, and they constantly stop working to the point that I can't do anything.

Well then the last resort would be flashing stock rom using Odin
