Un so um jesusfreke if I understand all this and I'm not shure I fully do, but if I take out thr framework-res.apk un pack it edit it pack it all back up and sign it with thr sighnapk.jar utility and throw it back on my phone which has been moded with your boot recovery and update it will work....well at least in theory????? What's the worst that could happen at a failed attemtp do ya think?
worst that could happen?
brick phone. and I dont mean zack morris.
But assuming you know what everything you just typed actually does, should be fine.

I think you also have to re-sign all the .apk files in the /system/app folder. I just tried this last night and it all worked. I modified the default background in framework-res.apk. So now my phone is using the default background image with ugly black lines that I painted on it in gimp (see screenshot)
The only caveat is that you may have to reset the phone once you re-sign all the apks (alt+w in recovery mode). You will lose all your installed applications and data, and you'll have to re-enter your google account and password when you boot back up.
Try it without reseting, and if your phone acts weird, then try a reset and it should smooth things back out. After that point, you should be able to modify framework-res.apk without having to reset again.
The worst* that will happen is that you can't boot the phone normally. If that happens, put the modified RC30 update back onto your sd card somehow (external reader, another phone that uses miniSD cards, etc), and then boot into recovery mode and re-apply the modified RC30 update.
*I make no guarantees you won't brick your phone of course . But I can't think of anyway you would by doing this.
This isn't exactly skinning but it might help you start:
I modified the Launcher.apk so I could have my own wallpaper in the wallpaper gallery and take out the ugly stuff. Im sure you could change other resources in this and possibly other apk's as well.
I downloaded the android source from here http://source.android.com/download then slightly changed the source for Launcher.apk and recompiled it (make Launcher). My modified Launcher.apk worked fine on the emulator so I remounted my G1's /system partition as rw and replaced /system/app/Launcher.apk with my version and removed Launcher.odex then rebooted (dont forget to save the originals if you try this). So far its been working great in JesusFreke's modified RC30.
A screenshot of the modified wallpaper gallery is here: http://x8x.us/android/device.png
The signed modified Launcher.apk is here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper.apk
A tarball of the modified source is here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper.tar.gz
You can browse the modified source directory here: http://x8x.us/android/Launcher_modified_wallpaper/
The only changes I made were to src/com/android/launcher/WallpaperChooser.java and the res/drawable/wallpaper_*.jpg files.
Hopefully this will help you make similar changes on your own, at least until Google comes up with an easier method for changing skins and such. And maybe a wallpaper gallery thats not static!
Being able to do things like this are what I was hoping for when I bought the G1, sucks that they won't allow people to choose to enable root.

lol I never ran away with your idea. I acknowledge it as yours and thanked you for the idea in the original post here.
I know we are all trying to get the best out of our G1 and stealing ideas isn't the right way to go about it. Hope I cleared all misunderstandings
I didn't mean that in a bad way I saw your article and was like "oh cool! He got it to work."
just to clarify...
the default wallpapers you see in the Wallpaper Gallery activity are embedded in Launcher.apk?
i always thought it read some directory of images.
i guess that explains why the process for converting images from the Pictures activity requires crop/resizing and the gallery activity doesn't.

yes, it does need to be resigned.
Modifying Wallpaper Gallery
ive been trying to find a way to add my own wallpapers to the gallery and it seems its no easy task, isnt there a way to redirect the path to make it look in a directory? im a linux noob (especially on devices like this) so if im asking a dumb question i dont know that i am
also.. if the only route is to modify the launcher package, is it possible to add as many as you want? or is there a limit to how many you can put in/replace?
best bet is to modify the apk (i think it's launcher but it may be framework-res) but as far as i know you can only replace the wallpapers there unless you wanna try some hex edits

im trying to create my own Launcher.apk so i can include my own wallpapers into the Wallpaper Gallery. Everytime i type "make Launcher" (im in the /packages/apps/ dir) it just says:
make: Nothing to be done for `Launcher'.
so i figured i would try going into the Launcher dir, then trying it... then i get this:
make: *** No rule to make target `Launcher'. Stop.
how do you compile these things? ive also tried opening it in eclipse with the android plugin but when i try to compile it tells me to fix like 300 something errors first.
Myself and apparently many others like the AOSP apps better than the sense apps. I find the interface for the AOSP messaging, calendar, browser, calculator, and dialer/contacts applications to be more attractive and in some cases more usable. I really liked Bugless Beast 0.4 since it featured these applications, but I have had a hard time with the bug that keeps disk drive from working, and there are various reports of some syncing and battery issues. The EVO-NonSense series has been great too, but I use HDMI out sometimes and like having some of the sense stuff installed. Big thanks to both BuglessPete and tjohnsonjr for their AOSP work.
(7/18/2010) I have attached some of the files I have been using, see descriptions at the bottom of the post.
So since it took a little digging for me to figure out how to do this (even though to advanced users this is easy) I thought it might come in handy for other new users. Additionally I'm hoping by posting this someone can help me figure out how to get the dialer/contacts stuff working, I have the others working fine.
I've done the below on DamageControl, and I think another (baked snack maybe, can't remember). I'll probably throw together an update.zip that can patch these in place later, but I'd rather get the dialer/contacts part figure out first.
Setup:
1. You will need a fully rooted (toast root part 2, NAND unlocked) phone, and adb up and running. There are several explanations for both parts, but the ones listed in the "useful threads" sticky are joeykrim's for adb and toast's part 1 and part 2 for root.
2. I have been using the apk's from BuglessPete's bugless beast 0.4 ROM. The thread for it is available here.
Once you unzip the file, you will find the needed apks in the /system/app folder.
Note: Please donate to pete, he doesn't even have an EVO yet and is doing some great work. Hopefully if he has a phone to work on he can get some of these small bugs squashed and keep the development for BB going.
3. Backup your phone. If you don't know how to reboot into recovery and restore from a nandroid backup, you do not want to do this yet, especially if you want to try help me figure out how to get the dialer running. The idea with the dialer is to try different things until something works. In all likelihood you will hit a point where things are FCing so much you can't do anything. You will almost certainly need to restore from a Nandroid backup at some point.
Important: More than likely anything I list here can't break a phone in a way that a nandroid restore won't fix, but I can not and will not be accountable for any problems with your phone.
Which files:
One nice thing about adding files this way is you can pick and choose what to use. If you like the stock messaging but want the AOSP calendar, you can do just that.
Calculator: Calculator.apk
Calendar: CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk
Default "Navigator" application: CarDock.apk <- you can keep both
Internet: Browser.apk and HTMLViewer.apk <- doesn't show previews of each tab, but allows up to 8 instead of 4. There may be other functionality gained or lost, I dunno.
Clock: DeskClock.apk (can exist beside HTC clock, and can be installed without this procedure)
Messaging (SMS, Text): Mms.apk <- Many people have trouble with this one.
####### Not Working! See post #2 ########
# Phone: Phone.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk
###################################
To install:
I think you can use adb to do this install with the files still on the computer, but I go ahead and throw all the needed apks onto my sdcard, typically in a folder. Also, if you need to be in the Android SDK's /tools directory to use adb (this depends on your configuration) do that. Connect your phone, and make sure it is in "Charge Only" so the sdcard stays mounted. To make sure adb sees the phone properly issue:
Code:
adb devices
and you should get a return listing the device ID. If so we will mount the /system partition as read-write:
Code:
adb remount
Log into the phones local shell:
Code:
adb shell
you are now on the phones command line and file system, not on your local machine. Now we can start installing files. I'll use Calculator in this example, and I have the apk in a folder on the sdcard called AOSP_apks:
Code:
install /sdcard/AOSP_apks/Calculator.apk /system/app
You can do a couple at a time, and you must do more than one at a time when installing a provider like CalendarProvider.apk and Calendar.apk.
Once you are done, exit the phone's shell, and reboot the phone:
Code:
exit
adb reboot
The change may show up immediately, but the phone and applications aren't designed to change these core functions on the fly, so make sure to reboot the phone. Once it reboots you will probably notice the AOSP icon has replaced the former, and you have the AOSP skin and/or functionality.
Post #2 will deal with progress so far on the dialer/contacts.
(added 7/17) Notes on different apks: The BB Launcher2.apk has his skin on the google search widget, or grab the apk from something else like DC for stock. Launcher.apk from BB is the one with the wide drawer and (I think) 9 screens.
Music.apk from DC is the modded music app from Cyanogen. It has some very nice UI tweaks.
Attached:
- Music.apk used in Cyanogenmod from DC
- Calendar, CalendarProvider, Browser and HTMLViewer from BB 0.4
- CarDock, Calculator, and MMS from AOSP EVO-NonSense
Contacts/Dialer Progress: I'm sure some of the more advanced developers know the answer to this, so ideally someone can fill me in. In the meantime I'll report my findings here, and if others can add feedback to the thread on what they have done, I'll update this post. Hopefully in the long run there will be a straightforward explanation for this I can add to the above post.
I have installed the three files listed above (ContactsProvider.apk, Contacts.apk, and Phone.apk) which seems to install the right bits, but I get FCs.
Later on I added Telephony.apk and FutureDialService.apk, which didn't improve anything. Finally I noticed that Bugless Beast didn't have HTCDialer.apk, so I removed that as well. I think this was the point things went from the dialer and contacts applications FCing to non-stop FCs that kept me from doing anything on the phone.
Attached are the three apps I'm sure are involved for the Contacts/Dialer, pulled from tjohnsonjr's AOSP EVO. More files may be needed, but I'm still trying to figure out which.
The Dialer/Contacts apk used to work, I believe on ROMs that are not based off the newest OTA. Since it worked for me, but stopped once I started using ROMs based of the newest OTA. Anyways great post.
I installed the files and I cant see them. They're in the folders but its like they're hidden from the OS.
I tried to do this before since I love BB but the wake bug in v4 was killing me. I always got install errors. Did you delete the Mms.apk first.. THEN install Mms.apk and reboot? Or did you just install over it? I got errors either way. Also it totally disabled texting on my phone even after reinstalling the HTC Mms.apk.
I had to clean cache/reset then reflash my Nand backup and even then my texting was still broken until I sent one to my wife and then magically I got the 10-15 test "texts" I had sent.

Thanks and thanks. This is interesting. Of course BB is based on the older ROM, so maybe that is why BB works but this doesn't. I'll have to grab an older ROM and try that. It may be an issue of grabbing a newer build of the dialer or something.

BBv3 and yes the remount worked.. I am currently in my 84th hour of a long battery duration test so I can't plug it in and try it right now since it will wipe my stats. However it would give some "parse" error and then fail to install. If I forced it by just cp'ing the apk and chmod'ing the exec permissions it would fail horribly.
84th hour of a battery duration test? details please?

Hmmm maybe I did and didn't notice it.. I am down to 8% right now so by mid day my battery will probably die. I am hoping to make the 100Hr on one charge mark, after that I will try again and note any errors.

ok so I just redid your steps and I didn't get the error code this time (maybe my remount didn't work the last time I tried it). But now I get FC everytime I try and launch the text app. I installed over the Htc mms.apk =(

NVM I extracted it from an old nand backup. So, for me at least the Mms.apk from AOSP causes FCs and won't run at all . Put the HTC Mms.apk back and it works fine. =( Urgh any hints?

Interesting that you say that, since I had some MMS texts in my cache. Wondering if when the AOSP version couldn't deal with them so it just FC'ed instead.
So I tried that, deleting ALL my texts so it wouldn't have some MMS collision or something. But that didn't work either, HTC Mms.apk works fine.. the AOSP.apk FC's. Could the OP or something with a working AOSP Mms.apk post it maybe it's my copy. Mine has an MD5 of : 441e3b8863bc3ab88ce6ad9bc1671f22
I have mms messages in my cache too. The AOSP apk shows them fine, just can't send new mms messages. Maybe your file is corrupt?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I going to upload all the AOSP apks that I include in my ROMs when I get home tonight.
Can you tell us how you got contacts.apk to work? I'm trying with FreshRom and I pulled the Contacts.apk from your Rom and it won't recognize the file when I push it using adbshell. The file is in the app folder but android ignores it.

I don't remember me see a thread fore the original slider (every Stock Rom have it, and everyone will have something els)
But when you say you have install a other Slider, but you aren't satisfied. Was it a cab file? If it is a cab file, just removed it; and it will bring you back to the original slider.
I't just a Idea; maybe it can be useful fore you.
Kurt thanks but i tried removing it then i get a services.exe error when i restart the device..

So you installed a cab and it won't uninstall? What cab was it? Try to reinstall it. If you have an error uninstalling, trying to reinstall the cab will usually complete the uninstall. If that doesn't work, if I know what cab it was I can figure out what files to extract to post them.
paten thanks but i think you misunderstood ..i have succesfully removed the unwanted cab but when i restart my device i have a system32.exe error(not services) so basically its missing a slider
It sounds like you have other problems then. When you uninstalled the cab successfully, your original slider should have returned. I would try to reinstall that cab again and then uninstall it to see if that fixed the problem. If that didn't work I would do a hard reset.
EDIT: Due to the lack of interest in this, there isn't any reason for me to put anymore time into this, unless there are requests.
this is for metamorph use only!

download for hdpi-v4 folder (SK2.5) : http://www.multiupload.com/TZ6EFRIEDM
Just because yoi have Skyraider I guess sometimes the first link will work, and for others link two so try the first one, then the second if need be. OR just check your framework-res folder and see if you have the folder drawable-hdpi, OR drawable-hpdi-V4
Looks great on vanilla Skyraider 2.5
Thanks
getting boot loop after applying in metamorph on skyraider 2.5 vanilla
Sorry Idk how to help with that tho cos I tried to install 2.5 but it wouldn't load, this worked fine for me on SR2.2V, and CM6test8, so i can't see why it would be any diff. for SR2.5, but I could be wrong.
Not too mention the post before says that i looks great on SR2.5 so you must have dont something wrong, but if I an ever get 2.5 loaded ill look into, i really don't see how it wouldnt work tho.

Actually now that I think about it, is it a boot loop, or does MM reboot when applying, if the second option, MM has options within the program to lower the settings to help with that.
first it was bootlooping, then i restored and went to try and apply again, and every time it said reboot, it wouldnt reboot, just kept saying the message i needed to reboot in order for the settings to show up. So i used QuickBoot to reboot and the theme isnt showing up, just the normal lockscreen.
I also have blue circle battery, hide location icon and black bar installed for skyraider 2.5
If you can, adb pull your framework-res folder from SR2.5 ROM that you are trying this on, I will compile that up into a MM and send it to you and that will work.
i pushed my framework-res.apk and manually added the files into the apk and pushed it back and got it working. thanks.
i noticed that my framework-res didnt have drawable-hdpi, but drawable-hdpi-v4 ... maybe that was the problem
Ahhh that's exactly what it was, good catch man, thank you. first post updated with new link.
im sure its not you but maybe you can fix it... why is the bar thinner than the tab? shouldnt they be even?
I'm running Skyraider 2.5 and when I click on Metamorph it does it check and then reboots everytime. Am I doing something wrong?
I just updated the first post, did you download the file that says hdpi-v2?

I guess I'll make sure I don't lose the current .zip file then
This isnt working for me on the lastest skyraider vanilla i am getting boot loops
I finally got this to work. Just pulled the framework, copied and pasted from the droid2 zip to the stock framework and pushed it back. Excellent, thanks all.
is it possible to get this working on skyraider 2.5 sense ??
Not that I would pay for Hulu, but I watch their free content sometimes. This is a travesty.
yea I noticed this yesterday too...disappointing.
HULU works on the skyrocket........
just use one of the deodexed roms(like this one-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341616), which will let you edit the libs of the Flashplayer. use the Libflashplayer.so hack that is on xda replace it and give it the proper premission and BAM!!!! you got hulu
have been watching hulu on my phone since melvin dropped his first rom.
if for some reason you just cant manage to find the Hack i will post it up for you and give credit to the Dev.

I know that but what I consider stock is a ROM that hasn't been messed with at all.
I normally run Cyanogen Mod 7 but it's not available yet.
No, I don't like the crap bloatware apps.
Thing is, I will not die without Hulu and it's not enough reason for me to grab the first thing that comes along and install it.
I am actually enjoying the stock rom on this phone. Can't do everything I am used to but, I have to say that it's been pretty nice.
I will likely consider Cyanogen when it comes out for this phone but I am going to have to think pretty hard at this point. That rom has caused nothing but issues for me on multiple phones in regards to GPS which I rely on quite a bit. I know there are fixes and I got my GPS working after a lot of hassle on my Evo but never had success fixing it on my Inspire. Been nice having my GPS working without an issue on my Skyrocket. So... At this point, I just don't want to mess with the stock rom until I have a chance to evaluate it more.
My phone is rooted and that seemed to be all I needed to edit the needed files in the past but I guess not in this case.
Didn't Hulu come out recently and say they are supporting all Android devices now or was that Netflix?

I know that but what I consider stock is a ROM that hasn't been messed with at all.
I normally run Cyanogen Mod 7 but it's not available yet.
No, I don't like the crap bloatware apps.
Thing is, I will not die without Hulu and it's not enough reason for me to grab the first thing that comes along and install it.
I am actually enjoying the stock rom on this phone. Can't do everything I am used to but, I have to say that it's been pretty nice.
I will likely consider Cyanogen when it comes out for this phone but I am going to have to think pretty hard at this point.

I agree the Stock rom on the SR is great thats why im not even worried about not having 5 or 6 roms to choose from. i thinks its pretty nice as is. but i like to be able to edit certain files. and i think all you need it root explorer and you CAN edit pretty much everything on the phone.
but i didnt notice that you cant edit the build.prop, or the libs. i had to pull the build prop and edit on my comp and push it back.
and CM7 is a buggy nice little rom one of those things were you deal with the problems cuz its so damn nice. same with miui.

What did you change in the build.prop? The manufacturer, the model screen settings? I have done this on multiple devices including my Honeycomb tablet. My HoneyComb tablet (Acer A100) is running stock rom and I know I was able to edit the build.prop on that just using ES Explorer.
Let me know what to change and I will give it a whack, after backing up the build.prop file and making a nandroid

I've been looking all over for the Libflashplayer.so Hack... I can't find one that applies to Flash 11.
Anyone find the link?

here is a full thread about how to use it......just ignore the apk and stage fight.
all you need to do is grab the .so file and insert into the data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib and change the permissions
and your done

I did that, no luck. I double and triple checked the instructions. I did not do the stagefright thing or use the APK available.

I have it permissions specified in the post.
Yes, I am on Stock but I didn't see that running a custom ROM was required.
Thanks for the help.

It shouldnt be......
may i ask what files you are seeing in the Lib folder on the com.adaobe.flashplayer.
you shouuld have four files in there already right? i have seen it where it is empty sometimes and that means this wont work. ALSO if you unistall flash and reinstall flash 11 it repopulate the lib folder and i have had luck with this as well. once you get it will stick though. you wont have to this every reboot or anything.

thats the Internal SD....you have to go through Data/Data/Com.adobeflashplayer.lib/Lib<<<<you will find it in there.
but i believe you have to be on a DEODEXED rom....not the stock unless you know how to pull a lib file from the phone extract and edit. then push it back(this meathod is harder)

You also need root access. I used root explorer (from the market) to access the appropriate folder on my phone.

this is true, but even with root on the stock rom(odexed) i dont think you can edit the lib files.
im pretty sure.
