[Mod][How-To] Change Sense 1.0 Lockscreen Sprint Banner

Hey gang. I know a lot of people know of JsChiSurf. You should. That man is one of the main reasons I do what I do today. Buy him some beers or fund his retirement
Anyways. He came up with a mod that can change the Sprint Banner in the Sense Lockscreen. The hack is pretty straightforward yet awesome. I based this mod off of his. Check it out here
His goal was to use a hex editor to modify the text, but I am taking a different approach. We have so many tools available now. Apktool, apk manager, and of course, Android Utility. This is for Sense 1.0 ota 4.54 Evo 4g.
This mod is easy to do.
Tools: Android-Utility, or apktool, Java
Download the attached files below: HtcLockScreen.apk and Testsign.jar
1. Have com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk from your rom ready
2. Decode the apk like this if using apktool, run in command prompt or terminal:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
apktool d HtcLockScreen.apk out
3. Now, you should have a folder called "out"
4. Open the folder and look for res/layout/lock_screen_bar.xml
5. Open the xml in Notepad ++ or Gedit
6. Search for where it says "EVO Classic"
7. Change it to your desired text
8. Save and exit
9. Now, we compile the apk
Code:
apktool b out HtcLockScreen-new.apk
10. Now, we resign the apk.
Code:
Method A:
Open the original apk with 7-zip.
Take out the entire "META-INF" folder.
Open new apk with 7-zip.
Put in META-INF folder.
Method B: (only works on Evo Classic and other roms with signature verification off)
type in this command:
java -jar testsign.jar HtcLockScreen-new.apk HtcLockScreen-signed.apk
11. Download the sample Update.zip Found here, attached at bottom
12. Put the apk (renamed to HtcLockScreen.apk) inside the zip under system/app/
13. Flash and enjoy!
Sorry if this isn't noob-friendly enough. I tried to come up with a different way but this is all I got. The details are all there.
Please try it first.
But if you really can't get it, feel free to request a specific word or banner. I can upload them for you.

Sprint Banner

I'm guessing we can still use sprint apps, because this only changes the banner. Would I be correct?

The command:

Doesn't seem to work. I am using the most recent version of apktool on a Windows machine.

Whoops.
apktool d HtcLockScreen.apk out
Typo corrected.
all you need is a lovely signature.

Tommy you are a beast! You write these guides like you wrote the code or something. Do you know of a guide somewhere that breaks down smali code? That's where I need to be lol

i got it all working except building the new .apk
it builds but instead of an .apk its a folder...

Hi All......
In this short youtube video I will guide you how to change the color of
full signal barindicator directly on your phone. After getting the idea
you can use your imagination & creativity through this super tool
"Ninjamorph". ​
​
Features:
1. No PC or programming required. Change the theme directly on phone with easy steps.
2. Inbuilt APK archiver and image editor.
3. Ability to replace files from external sources/pc.
4. Free and small size.
Watch Video Tutorial on Youtube
Quick review of steps taken in above Video:
1. Open Ninjamorph after installing from Android Market.
2. Click on New Project and open System\App\SystemUI.apk (It will extract the SystemUI.Apk automatically).
3. Then open res\drawable-hdpi\stat_sys_signal_5.png (long press on image file then select Edit Image).
4. Edit the image and select Save by pressing menu softkey.
5. Do the same with image file stat_sys_signal_5_fully.png
6. Click on back button and hit the Finish Button.
7. Select SystemUIapk to apply the project. (This will create the package automatically)
8. Hit the Yes on popup menu (3 times)
9. At last "All Done" will appear.
10. Reboot your phone ("Force Close" popup menu will appear, all will settle after reboot).

Download:
Download free version from Android Market (same was used in video).
You can also support the developer by purchasing this Pro Version.
Important Notes
1. Editing system files involves risk. If you are not sure what are you doing please don't do anything then.
2. Always create backup of Apk file before editing. Use Root explorer to replace the same if changes are not upto mark.
3. This App seems incompatible with framework-res.apk.
DISCLAIMER
If something wrong happen please don't blame me or developer for the same. Use this tool at your own responsibility.
Please Share your creative work with screenshots/file source in this thread

Congratulations on your one-hundredth post. Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely give it a try.
Do you have any screen shots you can share with us?

If it's froyo then you can change clock font colors in services.jar file..
/system/framework/services.jar
FOR Gingerbread,
Files that have to be edited:
1) /system/app/SystemUI.apk
2) DECOMPILED_DIR/res/layout/status_bar.xml
For Clock
Search for a line that begins with "<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock". You now have two ways for changing the font-style and color:
Adding android:textColor="TEXTCOLOR" and/or android:textStyle="TEXTSTYLE", where TEXTCOLOR can be a HTML color (#TTRRGGBB - TT means transparency) and TEXTSTYLE can be "bold", "bold|italic", "italic" or ""
Changing the style of android:textAppearance. This can be easier but keep in mind that this style could be used somewhere else.

The clock is still in the smali code bubonic, its represented by a hexidecimal number.
This wouldnt work unless it can edit decompiled smali code. But the clock is not an image, which is what this looks like it edits.

Thats the CM7 Theme Chooser one.

Your going to port the CM7 Theme Chooser one?

If worse comes to worse im gonna have to, but seeing as RubiX is gonna be based off of CM6 (If im not mistaken?), i probably wont even need to use that.

The theme looks sexy as hell.

once the status bar mads are done, if at all possible im all in i hate the tw status bar

I love the theme!Looks pretty cool to me..

Hahah, same here man.
On another note, i got my Thrill that has the CM7 Theme Engine. More icons to port over and whatever. New RC coming out soon.

Hmm... when i edit XML files, when i recompile them they revert back to whatever was on them before... i cant edit anything put the PNGs then. If APK Tool keeps doing this and magically changing files that shouldnt exist, then theres not much i can do.

Have you tried compiling them directly from the command prompt? Apktool used to give me s**t when I would recompile the themed works and I just did it from the cmd prompt ad it would work... other then that I have no other ideas

Naaah, not yet hahah. Gonna try doing that tonight, will post back with results. If it works, i can add the Accurate Battery and fix everything that needs to be doneeeee.
EDIT: No avail, tried everything. When i get off my laptop to my tower ill try everything again. If not, im stumped and this is just about as far as this port goes.

Hoping you can figure it out. Love what you've done so far

I'd love this fixed up too, I use it on CM Merged and it's quite nice, though I'd like a battery mod with better accuracy and a few little tweaks here and there, but overall I like Blue and white much more then Green and black

I'm looking for ways to get around having to decompile the apk, maybe finding already-compiled XMLs from another ROM and replacing those. Hopefully. I find it odd that recompiling gives me errors even if I do nothing to the APK. Do you need the Android SDK installed to use apktool or whatever?

i ran into that i believe

Making progress, it actually compiles an APK now. But for some reason, dosent create a "keep" folder, so when it recompiles i dont even think it does anything to the framework. Still blank battery icons, but I guess im getting somewhere if the APK is actually making itself.
EDIT: Ran into another problem. Now whenever i try to start the APK Multi-Tool script, i get "Please wait while we CHECK FOR UPDATES", then the program closes itself. ....

[App] Wallpaper Chooser - Free to the public, artists, and themers

Hey gang!
This is a super simple app that I threw together. First, source code for the app provided by AOSP, modified by Code Aurora Forums, and adapted by yours truly, tommytomatoe.

*/
Now to the goodies.
The purpose of this app is for the themers and artists that come up with awesome wallpapers or include wallpapers in their themes. Now they can simply and professionally package the wallpaper within an apk!
Instructions to use are super simple.
1. Download apk
2. Use apktool to decode the apk (ie, apktool d WallpaperChooser.apk)
3. Add your wallpaper to res/drawable-hdpi (or -xhdpi, depending on your target device)
4. Make a smaller copy of your wallpaper, 170x142 works nicely
5. If your wallpaper is called "sample_13.jpg", then the small wallpaper should be named "sample_13_small.jpg"
6. Navigate to res/values/arrays.xml. It looks like this:
Code:
wallpaper_1
wallpaper_2
wallpaper_3
7. For each wallpaper you want to add, just add an "item". Leave out the extension, and also, the app will automatically account for the "small" wallpaper. I included three wallpapers just for example purposes. They don't need to be named "wallpaper_#". It can be ANYTHING you want, but in arrays.xml the name must be reflected.
8. Build the apk (ie, apktool b WallpaperChooser WallpaperChooser-new.apk)
9. Sign the apk!
10. Include in ROM, theme, or post a thread so people can install!
Optionally, you can change the app name. Just go to res/values/strings.xml.
That's it!

Yeah it is all about the package name.
First you need to modify the name in the android manifest. The one I sent you is net.classic.wallpaper.dfuse
Just change any part of it to make it a different app. Then, go to the smali folder and change the folder to the name that you changed. Then in the smali file itself, change the reference from net.classic.wallpaper.dfuse to whatever you changed it to in android manifest.

Hello,
I followed the instructions, I only changed the wallpapers, I left the same names, I wanted to see if it would work.
I got no errors on decode and got no errors in build.
Copied the apk on my phone and tried to install.... "APP WAS NOT INSTALLED"
What seems to be the problem?
Thanks!

[Q] How to modified SystemUI.apk

Dear all master in here,
I wanna ask something, I wanted to make small modification to my systemui.apk.. I saw my friend running his phone (thunderbolt) changing the signal icon from 1x into 4G.. I wanted to do it on my shift, so I can bragged around even I didn't have a 4G access.. just for fun you know..
I tried to only rename the icon name but it seems too much to rename and I can't pick it up one by one..
If the only way is to rename it one by one, can somebody tell me which file I need to change..?
I wanted my wifi signal symbol became 4G signal symbol..
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk 2

Try this if you use 7zip. copy your apk into an empty folder. right click it and chose "extract here". When it opens up go into res/drawable-hdpi. In here you can change the icons but don't change the names. Give the one you want to use the name of the one in use and delete the old one. You might have to do this in the framework-res apk too. And the com.htc.resources apk if on sense. To zip it back up, highlight the parts of the apk you want to zip and right click. Using 7zip, left click "add to archive..." then rename it systemUI.apk instead of systemUI.zip and click ok.

Ok, then the only way is to change it manually,
Could you tell me sir which file i should replace inside the systemui.apk..? I wanted to use newRunny for this, as I found out it quiet stable for me, beside the calendar widget and 4G..

There are so many ways to do this. Here is another
Basically all you have to do is open the apk with 7zip and drag the res folder to desktop, look for what the image name of the wifi indicators are. already have all your 4G images on the desktop and rename them to what the wifi images are, drag them back into the res folder you pulled from the apk. Overwrite the wifi images and drag it back into the apk.
Or another
Decompile the apk. Find images you would like to replace and name the new images the same as the ones you want to replac, put the new images in the decompiled apk. Then recompile and resign if needed.

Ok then.. I thought there is another way to do it. My friends told me some site that can manipulate systemui.apk,, but there is no choice to edit systemui.apk for evo shift.. only for some newer device like thunderbolt, sensation, evo lte..
BTW I'll try your way sir.. I'll posted the result.. thanks

Can the 7zip trick be applied to a framework-res.apk file?
I tried once...through apkmulti tool..it ruined the framework...after pushing device didnt boot...
Just renaming .zip to .apk makes it installable ?

Apk is just an extension that android recognizes....you could name it .docx and not actually change the file in any way

System apk's & jar's need to preserve the signatures they have on them(or have signatures that match the rest of the system), that is more then likely why you had trouble before with framework-res.
Some of the methods mentioned above are ways to add the files you changed back into the original apks/jars, which keeps the signatures in tact.

So simple opening(not exrtacting) framework-res.apk through 7zip...replacing images and flashing is quite valid and expected to work?

Yes sir that should work for images only

Yup, because essentially its just a zip file, and like was said when you extract it you lose the "signature" that was placed on the original signed one

Can you also help me with making update-scripts for flashables?
Coz after editing the problem i faced was,flashable was not proper..installation would abort...i tried searching but we have apps for making flashables of those apps already present on your system..
Do we also have other tools?
Updater-binary also needs to be updated along with update-script?
How?
Sorry too many questions..
