[TOOL][PORT] Autodeodexer 2.3a for the Epic 4G Froyo - Windows

Honestly, I do not know how much interest there will be in this, but throughout my own exploration and experimentation with Android and the Epic 4G I feel like sharing my finds with the community.
I kanged this tool from HERE so thanks to Daneshm90 among other people who are thanked in the tool itself. All I really did was add a few BOOTCLASSPATHS to the *APK.bat files to get it to deodex all the apks, and update smali/baksmali to version 1.2.6 (newest as of 3/25/11).
Basically this is a one click tool to deodex stock, odexed system/framework and system/app folders on a windows machine. I tested on the ACS Untouched Stock EC05 ROM and got clean runs where everything became deodexed.
Tips: I found it best to do system/framework first in one run, then leave the output in deodexed_JAR, and THEN process system/app as many of the files in the app folder have dependencies on the jars.
After processing system/framework you will have framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk which do not need deodexing.
In early testing, I found certain files leftover after a run processed on the next run. This stopped after updating smali/baksmali. I doubt I'll be of much help if you run into problems, you are doing EVERYTHING at your own risk. I barely understand the details here, I just ported it to work on our phone, so good luck!

Just take an odexed frame work, put it in the folder and run deoall.bat, then repeat for app. Pretty much it, if you don't know the point then you probably don't need it, lol

Yea I tried using it to deodex my eco5 stock rom, and it ran clean and gave output, but the output wouldn't boot.. I ended up going a diff route which included using a tool made for another phone and doing some by hand...

Decompiler

Hello, I want to decompile my framework-res apk so I can possibly add a battery that displays percentages. Is there any program out that will let me do this?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Your looking for Smali/BakSmali.
No offense intended here, but the fact that you are asking tells me that you are going to need a lot of research in doing this. It's not necessarily decompiled into the most readable source code. But it's that way with most decompiling, and you probably realize that.
Also, since we don't have source code for HoneyComb, the current Smali/Baksmali implementation doesn't work well/at all for some files.
Good Luck.

Thank you, I have previously viewed that thread. There aren't really any clear cut instructions on setting it up properly. Are you able to edit the XML files contained in the drawable folder? That is all I'm interested in. I can't seem to successfully decompile the framework-res apk. Thanks again
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I will offer to help you out.
1. Install latest SDK from http://Developer.google.com & Eclipse.
2. Search for apktool and unzip files into the SDK folder under platform_a DB
3. Buddy fix apktool with attached files. You will need to rename these files to Apktool, etc..
4. Copy framework-res.apk, systemui.apk, settings.apk, and launcher2.apk from \system + copy the odex
5. Run apktool d framework-res.apk (do this for each apk)
6. Look in the Res/drawing folders for images to mod.
Now you have the .9.png files with marks & the decompiled XML for reference.
Use Photoshop to modify the files.
Use draw9patch to compile any .9.png files
This is really important. Use 7zip or any other zip app that allows you to open and view an apk as a zip without actually unzipping it. Just copy the new photo files in and add them to an update.zip (you can download this from XDA Xoom Development thread) or use a DB to push the updated files to the Xoom.
Theaming is a subject but that's the basics. I can't upload files for newapktools.zip right now but will edit this when I get home later. Alternativly, maybe someone can post the patched up Xoom compatible apktool files. They are also in XDA theaming thread if you search.

Yes I can you need Java JDK installed:

Eventually you will need Eclipse and I use Gimp because its free and doesn't break any .png files.

Theme making

I was wandering if any could help me with theme making. I would like to create a theme for my thunderbolt and than share it woyld the xda community. Just need the basics such as programs and ill be on my way.thankx
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Alright I am going to try and keep this short.
Basically find the ROM you want to theme (Wait for AOSP as sense has way too many elements to make theming easy for a beginner)
Extract the ROM (Should be a .zip) with your favorite unzipper. Then go to /system/Framework/ Then extract framework-res.apk
Once you extract Framework-res.apk the files you want to edit are in /res/drawable-hdpi
In the Framework-res.apk is where you will find all of the system images. Just replace them with whatever you want just don't change the name. There is more to it than just this but this is a great starting place. Work with this for a while then if you want to theme the status bar and other stuff you get into programming which is outta my league.

[Q] Framework-res.apk

I'm somewhat new to hacking and modding. And I'm reading a lot, as well as playing with my phone a lot. I happened to extract the framework-res file to my sd card.
What are all the things I could customize with playing with that file?

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.

So is that how themeing works?

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

You could upload the file you extracted to the uot kitchen (google it, i cannot provide links).
The site allows to create a theme for your phone and to package it in a flashable .zip

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

Stock Sidekick 4G "ThemeChooser" Themes

At the bottom of this post you will find a download link to a zip containing all the themes that the sidekick came with.
Some people may be on a custom ROM like Smooth Maximus and dont have the themes, or just removed them and want them back.
This is just so no one has to go through the trouble of downloading a stock ROM the searching through all the system apps to find the themes themselves . So i've decided to package em together for ya.
This is not flashable so you have to unzip them and use a root file manager (root explorer, super manager ect.) and push them to System/app. You Need to be rooted or it wont push the apps.

Anyone figure out how to customize these themes? (especially the colors schemes)
I can easily change the wallpaper with Android wallpaper options, but the color schemes can be difficult to read with some color combos (like black text on dark green background).

Thanks for posting these!
I'm excited to download it once they're uploaded. My phone is so lost without the themes.

Hey i pulled these directly from ayoteddy's stock deodexed rom. All you have to do is push them to your system apps directory and restart your phone. Tested on my phone. Also sorry i had computer problems so had to upload them to my 4shared on my phone. http://www.4shared.com/zip/7Hu9zeYZ/sidekick_4g_themes.html
