After going through many of the different lock ring tutorials, I have noticed that they all have something in common: They are too user intensive and prone to user-error. Sure, once you have it down, it's easy. But it can be daunting to start out.
All I have done here is make it EXTREMELY user friendly.
No more copying and pasting into ZIPs and APKs!!
No more fishing around the Templates tree in M10 Tools!!!
Simply run the BATCH file, get a cup of coffee, and then flash!
Here are the detailed instructions... (also in the Read-Me)
0. Make sure you have installed Microsoft .net 4 framework on your machine.
http://www.microsoft.com/net
1. Unpack User_Friendly_Lock_Screen_Kit_v1.04.zip (Where you put the file does not matter anymore!!!! For example purposes, I will use C:\Lock_Ring_Kit)
2. Copy your image into C:\Lock_Ring_Kit and name it LockRing.png
Image requirements:
a. Must be a PNG file
b. Image must be 271 x 270 pixels (If it is not the right size, it will come out looking funny (270x271 WILL NOT WORK)
c. The image must be rotated 180 degrees and reflected horizontally.
3. Double-click "LockRingCreator.bat" and let it do its thing.
4. Flashable.zip was just created for you. Rename it whatever you wish.
5. Copy it to the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, and flash
The BATCH file cleans up after itself. You don't have to go through and delete any of the old files. If you want to make another one, just change out the PNG and run it again. My desktop is pretty old, and the BATCH takes about 2 minutes to run.
I have only tested this on Synergy, but I assume that it will work on similar ROMs. I also believe that it will work on the Thunderbolt (can someone confirm that?)
All files are included in the ZIP.
User_Friendly_Lock_Ring_Kit_v1.05.zip
Error Reporting
This is a work in progress. If you have an issue, please post it on the thread. Also, please copy and paste the output from the command prompt so we can get to the bottom of it. (Right click on command prompt, Select All, the then press ENTER. It is now ready to paste.)
Acknowledgments:
jmaher1023 - I used his process as a template. All that my BATCH file does is automate his process
Flemmard and DiamondBack2010- I have no idea what M10 Tools does or how much trouble they had to go through to make it, but I do know that it is the heart and soul of this whole operation.
Confirmed ROMS
Gingeritis3d
Synergy RLS 1
InCompatible ROMS
Kinged Shooter RLS 2.3
I'll try this out, thanks alot dude.
One thing you didn't mention is that the images still need to be 271 X 270 or they won't look right. Other than that this works on Gingeritis3d. (And if I want to say I was the one to create the lock ring I might edit the script) lol. Very good work though man. Very useful tool. Have you been able to find where the images are located for the Amazing sense skin? I haven't found those yet and want to use that semi transparent tool bar at the bottom but dont want to use a different launcher
somehow i cant get it to work ive followed every step but when i run the
"LockRingCreator.bat" it just goes into cmd really fast and nothing happens

Navigate to C:\Lock_Ring_KitTemplate\META-INF\com\google\android
There is a file named "updater-script" Rename it updater-script.txt, and open it for editing. Just look for my name and replace it with yours. Make sure you take the .txt off after saving

What operating system are you running? Do you have Microsoft .net 4 framework installed on your system?
When it is working properly, after you run the BATCH file you should see a command window running various commands for a little while.

did you make sure the file was named LockRing and was a png format? Something else to consider is that if you named a png image lockring.png then when it looks for the file it will see lockring.png.png so make sure it is a png format image but only name it LockRing.Hope this helps

Thanks brudda. I was only kidding about renaming the script. I knew where to find it. I can run a couple other ROMS if you want. I got nothing better to do tonight. Let me know which ones you want to add to your list and i'll do a couple.
just downloaded will test in a minute on mik3d beta1, but in the read me file, no sizes for pic you intend to use (just a heads up).
Forgot to mention I am running Gingeritis 3D Beta VIII. And I do have .net 4 installed. Maybe thats why i didn't have any issues. Also I didn't even read the read me file. oops.

Love my DropBox. Tried a few other apps like Minus and another but they are just not so user friendly and helpful. Although a couple have more GB.

dropbox has been the easiest, havent hit a limit yet, except storage space..... which i upgraded to eliminate that problem, all the others i have tried i cant upload anything because they limit file sizes that you can upload, where as dropbox just syncs with your desktop, takes awhile but works.
just tried it to make a flashable zip and it did the same thing as other guy, flashed the cmd prompt super quick, no zip created.....
edit:
wait i just checked windows update and it has 2 updates for net framework 4 lol
nice i was using the copy paste way. i use one like this for the 3d(that was made by triscuit1983.
still didnt work for me, oh well back to m10 editor... thanx anyways
did you put it on your c drive i had that problem on the one for the 3d
I will try again tomorrow, work in the morning

Make sure that you unzip the files to C:\Lock_Ring_Kit. When I install them somewhere else ("C:\Lock_Ring_Kit______"), I get the same error you do. However, the BATCH file did what it was supposed to do. Since C:\Lock_Ring_Kit did not exist, it created it, and there is a "Working" folder as well as a "Flashable.zip" there. But, since the original files were not in the right place, it is useless.
When the command prompt just flashes, what that means is that M10Tools are not having a chance to run. The only explanation I have for that as of right now is that the files are not in the right location. Also make sure that you named the image LockRing.png.
I'll see about making the batch file spit out an error code, but it might be a few days before I can get around to it. I'll keep yall posted.
First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.
Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.
Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.
Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.
Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.
And re-boot! Enjoy...
hah great tip for us
thanks
Has the OP tested this trick?
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! :^)

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.
Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

afaik, it's all or nothing. if you resign one system apk, you have to do for all system apk with the same key.

Thats the reason I prefer flashing instead of manually replacing the files cuz then you dont need to set the permissions. Its good for lazy people like me

The easiest and foolproof method is to use Ninjamorph or metamorph app from market.I've modified tones of .pngs with them.
First open the apk with the app
Exit the app
Go to myfiles/Androidthemes/workspace/name-of-apk/res/
Then go to drawable ldpi
Take a look at all of the .png files
Find which .png you want to replace.
You should make your own pic with photoshop or anything to replace it with exact resolution and name
Store it in the sd-card
Open the app again
Go to Existing project/name-of-apk/res/drawable ldpi
Click on the .png you want to replace
App will ask you to replace it with some other .png
Navigate to the modified pic
It'll replace the .png
Then go back to homepage of app
Then click finish project
Tap on the apk name
App will ask you whether you want to replace the original apk
Do as you want
Reboot phone
Make a nandroid backup before everything. cheers

yea metamorph/ninjamorph is great but i'd prefer to do it in PC and just push it via adb cuz i use photoshop and i find it a hassle to use my phone to edit apk's
It's for those guys who dont know how to decompile/compile apk files with their pc.But I agree with you, pc is the best way to go.

May be you should try it out first.Replacing system apps with root explorer is a very dangerous business.I'm familiar with that.My phone started to do endless boot loops which even a nandroid restore failed to fix and ended up in flashing a new stock rom.

agree
pushing it using adb is a more safer way, because if something goes wrong with forcing it to system then you can just repush the original system apk
you was replacing a running apk. there's no doubt it will give you FC message (lol). try your method to replace framework-res.apk or any system app/framework. b16h22 is right. your method is dangerous.
I modify my systemui.apk but signapktic give

HI All, this is my first post and I made my first boot animation and splash page for Evo 4G.
hope you all like it, Enjoy!
***ROOT ONLY***
please make backup of phone before replaces files.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
please follow instructions.
BOOTANIMATION: the file name is hTC_bootanimation.zip, you place this in your sdcard / data / local /
Every rom has it's own boot animation, so whatever the name of the .zip file is in that folder, change the downloaded file to that exact name.
SPLASH SCREEN: the file name is PC36IMG.zip, place this in the root of your sdcard, and reboot to bootloader (not recovery). Once in bootloader, press power button, and the bootloader will load the .zip file. Then press power button again for yes.
then reboot, and hope you like it.
Remember, I'm new to this, If I am not clear on anything, please let me know.

Hi
i would like to change/replace the emoticons on my phone. the emoticons that comes with the ROM i flashed looks pretty bad (for me personally) so i would like to change them. i have done a little bit of searching in the forums and i came across some threads which i dont quite understand. i am hoping some one with more experience and expert in this area can help me out
Phone: HTC Sensation XE
ROM: Darkforest Sensation XE 7.2.0
i realized that i need to set up ADB . then i further read that there are multitool for apk or something that i can use for manipulating the apk in my phone. there a a few different threads talking about all these
So my questions now are
Q: Is setting up ADB enough for my purpose (just replace the emoticons). i wouldnt want to "overkill" (as in install too many tools/applications) just to have my emoticons replaced.
Q: -removed- found my answer for this question thank you
Q: i found some threads saying it i can also flash the zip they created and require a specific ROM does that mean with the ROM i have on my phone i cant run their zip through CWM recovery?
Sorry for so many question and pardon me if some of the questions i ask don't make sense.
Thank you!!
it's simple

make a copy of your framework-res.apk from system/framework using es file explorer or any other tool you prefer
put it on your desktop
right click on it,then open it,DO NOT EXTRACT IT
double click on res,then drawable hdpi and the files are in there,there's normally 18
the 1st one starts off emo_im_angel.png
delete these,add your new ones by dragging & dropping the icons in,making sure they are named the same & are same size
click yes you want to add files
press X(close apk)
then how you put it back is up to u
adb,flashable zip or if your not to sure,place it on your sd card & copy over origional,set permissions to rw-r-r

Hello people,
I've been changing a few things here on my Xperia J and after a few changes, I managed to stay with different fonts, which did not mean to ... I also forgot to make backup. I've done reset the phone but did not work with the folder, so I come to ask someone who has a Xperia J can send me the fonts folder located in system / fonts
Edit-Somone who has the original folder witout changes

Suppose if nobody sends you the fonts, you can use your ftf and deodex it and take the fonts out!
This way you will get the official fonts and you won't have any doubts in your head !
If you are unsure what I am talking about, quote me and I will explain further. Search the forum please because many answers are already in it!

to fix the problem via method one, do you have all drivers installed with USB debugging on in settings ?

Use the second method, I just remembered that Xperia J was released in 2013. This tool works till 2012 devices! As devices from 2013 uses ext4 rather than old yaffs!
Second method should work!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/tut-how-to-extract-ftf-file-to-make-t2060508
1. Open .ftf with WinRAR/any zip archiver.
2. Extract system.sin.
3. Open Flashtool, and go to tools>sin editor. Select your extracted system.sin.
3. Click "dump header"
4. Wait for it to finish, the output is a system.ext4 file.
5. Use a Linux archiver tool(Google, many programmes available), to extract the fonts folder.

1. Open .ftf with WinRAR/any zip archiver.
2. Extract system.sin.
3. Open Flashtool, and go to tools>sin editor. Select your extracted system.sin.
3. Click "dump header"
4. Wait for it to finish, the output is a system.ext4 file.
5. Use a Linux archiver tool(Google, many programmes available), to extract the fonts folder.

Edit- Before I could see emoji in sms (as in the picture), but now I can not see and I thought the problem was with the fonts folder, because he had made some alterations. There are solution?
