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?

stock 2.1 unbranded.. moving it using root explorer.. which is what I did on my arc..
Sent from The Arc!
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...

Thanks Might try ADB pushing it.. although if I knacker her phone up again she'll not be happy.. so I might just let her decide if she wants me to take the risk... haven't bought titanium for her phone cos I don't want to register MY card on HER phone... recipe for disaster!

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...
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
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!
Could you post a copy of the apk? You are on .435 right?

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)..?

hi maybe you must give the apk and odex permissions
put the two files apk and odex on your sdcard

dd if=/sdcard/SemcCameraApplication.apk of=/system/app/SemcCameraApplication.apk

dd if=/sdcard/SemcCameraApplication.odex of=/system/app/SemcCameraApplication.odex
chmod 644 /system/app/SemcCameraApplication.odex
reboot
or copy the two files with rootexplorer (mount r/w) into sytem/app and give them with a long press on apk and odex the permissions and check
User- read and write
Group- read
Others- read
then reboot
i hope it works for you
try it with ADB on your pc and flash a new theme with a camera.apk...

So I flashed the MikShift ROM onto my phone a few days ago, but I noticed that sprint tv, and also sprint navigator are missing. I found the .apk files in the mikshift folder, but when I try to install them, it says application not installed. I also tried installing it using the android sdk with no luck.
My next thought, which I am afraid to try (unless its right) is to unzip the rom on my comp, copy the sprint tv and navigator .apks into the system folder, re-compress is, then try flashing that rom. (I can't copy the files with it compressed)
What is the correct way to do this? I know it can be done, or the .apk wouldn't still be in the file, right?
Please help a noob out.
7zip will allow you to move files into the archive without extracting. Not 100%, but on my moment files needed to be zipped in a special way. If you absolutely have to extract it then I'm pretty sure you have to change compression settings to no compression. I'm also fairly sure that if you mess up CWM won't let you flash it.
Mount your /system as rw
Download terminal emulator and type
Su
Mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk3p26 /system
Then install
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
i believe i did everything as instructed, but the file still didn't install.
I can't get the files moved with 7zip either. I'm pretty sure thats not the correct way of doing it anyway.
Follow the remount command above, then copy it to system, don't install
cp /sdcard/whateverFolder/blah.apk /system/app/
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
IT LIVES!!! Thank you very much.
I understand the the copy command that I did through terminal emulator, but what is the first command? I can at least figure out that i'm telling the emulator to mount the phone as r/w, then remounting it for edit i think, but i'm not sure what the "ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk3p26 /system" part means. Could someone explain that? I really want to get more involved in my phone, so i'm trying to learn all I can.
I'll walk you through it.
mount = the base command
-o = with options
rw, remount = add the read/write option, and remount
-t = using file system type
ext3 = the file system type
/dev/block/mmcblk0p26 = the absolute path to the special device file that points to that partition
/system = when you mount that partition call it /system (which it already was, hence the remount option earlier)

Awesome, thank you very much.
Where did you find the mikshift folder you are talking about on here? I would like to install Sprint TV as well. Thanks.

Sorry about that wished I'd seen this post earlier. Was busy most of the morning . But if your on MikShifted and want the Stock Sprint apps, go HERE. The thread should have the ones your looking for .
Ok everyone. Here is the lockscreen mod, power menu AND additional clock options for KC1. This will NOT work on Krylon's stock build but ONLY my deodexed one. Since there is no cwm yet you will need to push the files manually with adb or use root explorer to drop them in. Root Explorer is the easiest method. Just be sure to set permissions on all the files to rw-r--r-- after you copy them in.
Lockscreens are Rotary (default), Puzzle, Android, Glass, Epic and Star Wars (Settings > Display > Unlock Screen)(Please be aware - Lockscreen wallpapers are not supported on any of these)
Power Menu (no header) - Reboot, Recovery, Download mode
Clock Options - Hide Clock, Hide am/pm (Settings > Date and Time)
Added "Stay Awake" option (Settings > Applications > Development)
Pretty sure I killed the "battery full" pop-up as well
DOWNLOAD <<<<< KC1 Lockscreens / Power Menu / Clock Options
If using adb here is what to do...
Place the files in the zip in your adb tools folder. Navigate to your tools folder in your cmd prompt and perform these commands
First, mount your system as r/w
Code:
adb shell
su (will need to accept root access on phone)
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Your system is now mounted as read/write. Now remove the original files from your phone.
Code:
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
rm /system/framework/framework.jar
rm /system/framework/android.policy.jar
rm /system/framework/services.jar
rm /system/app/Settings.apk
exit
exit
Now push the new files into place.
framework files to framework folder
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb push framework.jar /system/framework
adb push android.policy.jar /system/framework
adb push services.jar /system/framework
Settings to app folder
Code:
adb push Settings.apk /system/app
Now the files are all in place, but you need to set the correct permission on them.
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework.jar
chmod 644 /system/framework/android.policy.jar
chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
chmod 644 /system/app/Settings.apk
DONE. Now reboot your phone. It will take about 5 minutes to reboot.
Again, you can use Root Explorer to move these files into place manually. Just be sure to set the permissions of all of them to rw-r--r-- after you do.

I would honestly learn the basics before you try any of this.
i allready flashed stock deodexed kc1 rom onto my phone in hopes of putting on the lockscreens but i just wanted to know if the root explorer method was easier like he stated up there
I really want these....but its quite painful setting up all my sync'ed accounts again after flashing. I went from Deodexed to Krylon's Odexed Stock, to go back to Deodexed would be a painful process again to get all my accounts set back up and app's loaded + moved to SD. Also fixing the camera/mms/phone issue with the Deodexed ROM on top of that.
Anybody else have any thoughts? Just do it? Haha

I used ES File Explorer, go into settings, and check the two boxes in Root setting.
Then go to the directory where the zip is saved, extract and copy paste to the right directories. Once that was done I rebooted. It took 5 min or so to boot but It came up. Once done go into settings and change lockscreen.
Worked like a charm for me. Thanks!!!

Oh boy, so I was able to do this via ADB.
But thought I would also try and do it with Root Explorer. I am bored at my job today.
I copied the files to the sdcard. Then opened Root explorer, located the files, using multi- select I selected all but the settings file that goes into the system/app.
I then hit copy/ then tried to paste the four files to system/framework
I get an error that says there isn't enough space. Then I get all sorts of force closes, and have to re-odin the deodexed KC1.
What the hell am I doing wrong? I am sure I am just having a brain fart but its becoming irritating.

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.

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.

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:

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.
@bburke88 where did you go to find theme settings and change the text 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.
Hello all,
I have a Rogers Xperia play, 2.3.3. (UK firmware, already rooted).
Locked bootloader, and sim lock, so I can't use the SE website to unlock. Hence I can't get to fastboot, and use any kind of clockwork mod recovery etc..
I made a theme in the UOT kitchen. I provided my framwork-res, and SystemUI files to the site.
How the F#$% do I install this theme? I've read some instructions on using ADB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065789), but last time I tried that (ADB itself works correctly and sees my phone) using a theme on the Xperia Play forum, my phone went in a reboot loop.
I'd like to avoid having to reinstall my apps again, yes I know I can get a backup application, but that's not the point of this thread
Any advice on how to install this would be appreciated.
Same here but with sim unlocked, Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Rooted 2.3.3 bootloader locked ,i tried 6 times ,3 times without changing permissions ,3 with changing permissions and no result i only managed to change the SystemUI.apk to work and not get in the bootloop and the framework-res.apk makes the phone get in the bootloop
same problem here.......Waiting for a newbie tutorial
Have to tried using root explorer to install your theme? It's really easy to do I had a hard time using adb to install my theme too I kept going into bootloop but once I used root explorer got it installed in a few minutes

just copy the .apk's to the platform-tools folder, fire up adb and type in
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb push systemui.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Done

You will get a bootloop, if the theme you are tying to install, has an incompatible framework.... You should always make sure the theme is made for your firmware version, as for the permissions, its only if you use root explorer, if you use adb the correct permissions will already be set

I'm on 2.3.3 UK with Rogers Xperia Play.
I'm using root explorer because I'm lost with ADB
If that's the case the make sure you set permissions rw-r--r-- before you move them into the proper folders. Have fun dude

Just to ad to @thatsupnow's post, move them to /system first and then set permissions there and then move to the correct folder as he said. That should keep you out of bootloop as long as you use compatible themes or your own cooked framework/systemUI as @androhero also mentioned

I JUST MANAGED TO INSTALL A THEME WOOhOO
now how to do it:
1.copy the SystemUi.apk,framework-res.apk etc. on you SD Card
2.Use a File Explorer that can change permissions (I used Root Explorer from market,pm me for a link if you don't have money to buy it)
3.Copy SystemUi.apk to /System not /system/app and there change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (Be carefull , i accidentaly left rw-r--r-x and it didn't work)
4.Now replace the SystemUi.apk from system/app/ with the one from /system/
5.You will need to restart the phone (i couldn't because many Force Closes so i removed the battery then placed back) and now you have the new Notification Bar
6.Now do the 2-3-4-5 steps with framework-res.apk and this time the phone will restart itself after you copy it.
Where SystemUi.apk and Framework-res.apk go:
SystemUi.apk => /system/app
Framework-res.apk => /system/framework

On a side note to this I had a little fun with ninjamorph and changed colors on some .png's in both systemui and framework-res and ended up with nearly all my apps fc'ing. Couldn't get adb to remount and got a permissions denied error. Then did a adb shell instaed and that worked. Check link for command's:
