[REQ] Droid 2 Lockscreen

Big Thanks to TouchPro and BlazedOne for attempting this!!
Has anyone tried getting the droid 2 lockscreen images onto the incredible (with vanilla lock obviously)? is it just as easy as swapping files in the droid 2 framework? and if it is does anyone have the framework-res.apk from the droid 2?
so looking in teh Droid 2 Framework-res.apk i see 2 sets of lockscreen icons first set is stock vanilla (same as droid x) second is the ones we see in image below, They have a diff naming scheme for the Droid 2 ones, so i assume it will take some xml or jar editing to make this work. (a little over my head).
edit 2: upon further investigaion i now see theres a bunch of new xml files in the droid 2 framework-res.apk that inclue things like zz_moto_keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml
i have attached the Droid 2 STOCK framework-res file.... that i pulled from the dump from LegionTHEFecalExcretion D2 sys dump located HERE for those who want to have a look
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!
Update.... created a video of the droid 2 lockscreen so you can see how it works

I would like this as well, looks awesome.

Easy enough; just flash the vanilla 2.2 lock screen and skin it using images from the Droid 2's framework-res.apk.

i thought it was that easy, but it seems like there is more than image swapping involved

Which files did you remove? I may just do that and what did it affect if anything? Was it just the htclockscreen.apk?

Your using framework that has been modded, so you need to make a copy of the pngs you want from the droid2 framework. Then rename the pngs to the pngs that your framework is using for the lockscreen. For the droid2 lockscreen to look real complete you should make new pngs that replace the answer call/end call pngs, etc...

thanks.
I appreciate your willing to help me, Touchpro247. Shows a lot about your character. I started doing the morph and once I started I HAD to finish, You probably know something about that, haha.

ooo ok so u did just end up renaming etc, i guess that woulda been far easier... ill play some more and see what i can get done. i was doing to much (over thinking as i usually do) guess i need to stay away from the xml files after all
is there a way to get rid of the grey in the bg? and have the bar continue to be blue across the screen?

how to add status bar transparencies in gingerbread :P

Tools you will need
-the original apk u want to modify +plus backup of it (framework apk & system ui.apk)
-system ui.apk located in system/app folder of any gb rom!!!!
-framework apk located in /system/framework folder any rom including cm7 -froyo miui ics so on lol...
-you will also need this zip which will be attached to the bottem of the post.
-also java sdk- properly setup will not go into this on this thread as it goes over -the scope of what im trying to show this is for people that already know and or -have some understanding of how to thme / modify a rom
-notepad++ for windows users
First off yor going to want to copy the contents of said zip into your framework apk
the location they need to be copied is /res/drawable-hdpi
all 3 files this will give u a transparent glass effect which will be what we are using
second off you will need apktool or equivalent but for this guide ill be going over how to use apktool to decompile and recompile it
copy your system ui to your apktool directory then open a command prompt in windows and navigate to that directory please refer to windows if you do not know how to change directories
apktool d systemui.apk ./systemui
you will see the progress
baslmaking.... copying resources xmls smali etc
you may get some ping 9 errors thats ok as we wont be using the modified apk just some of the files out of it once done
ok now you have your new shinny folder
navigate to res/layout
the file that needs modification is
status_bar.xml---OPEN THIS IN NOTEPAD++ OR YA MANY SPECIAL THINGS WILL HAPPEN
the second line should read or something similar
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#F0000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
you need to change it to this
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#77000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
most notably the #77000000
that will make your statusbar transparent
save your work!!!!!
take your systemui.apk and make a copy of it somewhere just in case
actually make 2
then rename the systemui.apk thats in the apkfolder to systemui.bak so it does not get overwritten!!!
then from your command prompt type this:
apktool b ./systemui systemui.apk
hit enter
it should now say smaling... rebuilding resources bla bla bla
and then after you have a shinny new apk
adb push that back to your device or flash via cwm
wala!!! if you loose your status bar after this happens lol it can happen
take the status_bar.xml out of the new systemui.apk and copy it into res/layout on one of the backups (hence why i said make a backup lol and flash that!!!
wala you should now have transparent status bar in your rom once its booted
(also note you may not see it if your launcher does NOT SUPPORT transparent status bars!!!!!) ADW IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS....
win!!!

the nice advange is i have a new method of doing it which will be added to the new update.... so long as yuor launcher supports
let launcher handle background images check box if you un check it the status bar is half transparent..
if you get tired of it check the box that says let the launcher handle it it goes back to being black so now u get the best of both worlds no need to re theme the rom

hey raver is there an easier way to do this or is this the only way i want to do this to my status bar but i dont know how to use apktool tried looking it up on the web still couldnt figure it out.

Just do it on UOT. it workd

oh for people that it dont work for if you ever used uot kitcen on ur system ui
You need to decompile your system ui
navigate to
systemui/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar
ticker smali
status bar smali
Look for const v4 it will have 0x03
those need to be cahanged to -0x3
also uot has a nasty habbit of addng new values in so if you see Const v0 0x03
change those to -0x03
recompile enjoy

hey raver have u done this to the roms u added status bar transparencies too. if so could i just take the ticker smali and statusbar smali out of your systemui and just use it in my systemui. will that work

hey im trying uot but it keeps giving me security error can anyone help..

It has nothing to do with smali. I will send them to you when I have my home computer

[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.

Only changes the Banner Text. Lockbar will not be included.

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.

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...

Im proud to present to you: Matted Blues for CM_Merged! And for our Sidekick 4Gs

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. ....

[Mod] Themed Dialers

Nothing fancy. Just some simple colored dialers. These will work on deodexed and odexed roms. Made from an OE2 SecContacts apk but might work on OC3 as well. If on an odexed rom, after flashing, you will need to go to system/priv-app/SecContacts_L_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk/arm folder and delete the two odex files. Make a backup first. This is a work in progress.
If you are running a custom theme but want to use one of these dialers you will need to remove the phone, contacts, and common folders for that theme from the root folder data/app and reboot. I recommend copy/moving them to your SD card in case you decide to use them later. Flash these via Flashfire.

Hello Tulsadiver
I'm still new to the Mod scene. Would you tell me exactly where you can change in the APK file the color values. I've already tinkered together a Theme by my preference and would like to customize my Dialpad yet for me.
Would be really nice of you if you could pass on your knowledge to me.

I didn't find my notes but this is what I did. I took the colors.xml from the stock SecContacts_L_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk and made notes as to what all i changed to get my red dialer. Lots of these are kind of intuitive. Here is a list of the hex color codes I used.
FFEE0000. RED
FF000000. BLACK
FFFFFFFF. WHITE
These are all the colors I used for my red dialer. Here is the color.xml with my notes. There are several. I hope this helps you out. Feel free to ask any specific questions that might come up. I had to change it to a text file in order to get it to load on xda.

First, many thanks for your efforts. I'll look at me once and if I have any questions I would be in touch with you again.
Great big thanks to you

Sorry, just saw your question. ff009fff

Thank you very much. Have it now hinbekommen almost everything on issues. Few things I still need in the SecContacts_L.apk

As always I'm a big fan of your work. I downloaded and applied the blue and black dialer and love the way it looks. The only problem is when I type a name in the dialer, I can't see the full name of options provided because it's all black, if you get what I mean. Would you be able to fix that? Here is an example: https://drive.google.com/a/bernardltd.com/file/d/0B3fIceeoMIn8UkZ4RkhOb1hjTGc/view?usp=docslist_api

Here is an example: https://drive.google.com/a/bernardltd.com/file/d/0B3fIceeoMIn8UkZ4RkhOb1hjTGc/view?usp=docslist_api

I didn't find my notes but this is what I did. I took the colors.xml from the stock SecContacts_L_Phone_FLAGSHIP_USA.apk and made notes as to what all i changed to get my red dialer. Lots of these are kind of intuitive. Here is a list of the hex color codes I used.
FFEE0000. RED
FF000000. BLACK
FFFFFFFF. WHITE
These are all the colors I used for my red dialer. Here is the color.xml with my notes. There are several. I hope this helps you out. Feel free to ask any specific questions that might come up. I had to change it to a text file in order to get it to load on xda.

The txt file you posted, are those colors all located in one XML or did you place them all in one xml for simplification? When I decompile app I find some colors in one xml and some in different xmls. I'm on aoe2 based rom on Verizon. Thank you in advanced

Those should all be in the res/values folder, in the colors.xml

User error on my part. I was in res/color. Thank you

So I'm just messing around by changing only a few colors to get my feet wet. I'm not using any theme besides default. Upon making changes and copying res folder back to original apk and deleting dalvick cache the app will still FC.
Should i still remove phone,contacts, and common folders?

I don't delete dalvick cache. How are you decompiling/recompiling? Are you signing it?

Using apktool and no I'm not signing it. Should I be? I did notice that after building apk it's res folder is missing folders that are in original apk res folder.

Yes, I believe this apk has to be signed.
I'm not sure about the coping you were referring to earlier. After decompiling the apk, open the xml's you want to edit, edit in notepad++, and save. Recompile, then sign.
Xml's have to be recompiled after editing.

Ok, thank you very much. How do you know when an app should be signed. Until now every edit I've done had been smali edits and after compiling I'd just copy the classes.dex file from new app to orig and then push apk back to phone.

Framework-res and SystemUI are different because they are system apk's. I had to sign the dialer apk to get it to work.
