[App] Battery Icon Mod 1.0

See second post for updates and info about the current status of this project.
Credit for this also goes to a wonderful app developer, appelflap, who wrote the app, provides excellent support and will receive thanks and part of the contributions from the donate version on the market. He is a fantastic developer; I urge everyone who would donate to me to send some his way as well
General Description
Battery Icon Mod is a general app (root required) for turning the standard battery icon into something more useful and more sophisticated.
The (ambitious) goal is to serve mods with this app for as many devices as possible. See second post for the devices/roms that are currently supported.
Important
Make a nandroid backup. I've written a very simple guide how to do this with Rom Manager here. (Really it costs you only a minute or so. Very easy to do)
If you apply a wrong version or you stumble upon a corrupted one (although all versions are tested)... you may ending up with a unbootable device. In that case you have to flash your firmware again... OR just do a simple restore of your backup (I will describe a general restore procedure later on)
Only choose the version that matches your device and rom. Also make sure that the rom version matches your current rom.
Sometimes [/I]mods for a particular rom will also work on another rom. However that's not the rule, more an exception. If you try, make sure you have a backup of your system.
Requests
If your device/rom isn't supported post a request with a copy of your framework-res.apk (it's in the /system/framework directory) with a description of the device and rom you have.
Note: The international Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) will still be supported by this app. Post your requests there. Later these two projects will be merged together.'

Themers and modders
Like to share your modded framework-res.apk? Post it in this thread (with a description of course of the device and rom it is supposed to run on) and we will put a link to it in the app.
Credits
To all modders and to theimpaler747 who made the first steps of this general project possible, and for appelflap, who is an excellent and supportive app developer who does things with apps I cannot . And of course the guys behind UOT Kitchen, who made this work so much more easy. Thanks.
Donations
There's a donation version in the Android Market (search for: Battery Icon Mod). Donations are mainly for paying the server that hosts the mods, and for putting these mods together (theimpaler747). Thanks!

Unfortunately, but needed at this moment:
Two (not tested) restore procedures for if you have a boot loop and didn't make a Nandroid backup.
Both methods require that you have adb installed. If not, download the Android SDK from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and find the adb program in the subdirectory "platform-tools".
Method 1 - update.zip method:
Create your own update.zip with which you install the backup of the modified file back in restore mode.
The instructions for this and the tool needed for it can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17635874/restore.zip
CREDITS: The tool/script that is used to create the update.zip is another brilliant tool of the creator of APK Manager: Daneshm90. The thread of this tool can be found here (another pearl I found on xda-dev lately (I had to repackage it to make the restore procedure simpler)
Method 2 - shell method
Install and run SuperOneClick and choose "Shell Root"
Start ADB, wait for the # prompt and enter the following commands:
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system (or mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system if there's no busybox)
#rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#chown root.root /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#reboot
Again these methods are not fully tested. They "should" work. Feedback is very much appreciated.
(Nevertheless if these methods don't work it should get your guys going in searching in the right direction to get out of a boot looper)

Reserved here from me, thanks appelflap for compiling ours together into a nice application! More phones to come, and please donate to help buy server space if you enjoy this! Thank you

[Bootscreen] Halo Reach Android Edition (Finally)

After almost 4 weeks of putting together storyboards, computer crashes, time constraints with the animation, testing, starting over, finally settling on a storyboard, more testing, editing, a broken car that won't start, being stranded at home for 2 days due to the weather, I am PROUD to give you Halo Reach Android Bootscreen. I hope you all enjoy, I am currently rocking it on my rooted EVO. Be aware the animation is a little longer than what most are used to for a bootscreen.
Major thanks to Rivertamer for his help testing!
IMPORTANT: Tiffany84 has just created flashable files for users, the links are below the animated gif. The original files still attached to the post are not flashable and require adb push or copying from your sdcard to the appropriate system directory.

This is for roms where the bootanimation resides in /system/customize/resource and has the audio.

This one is for roms where bootanimation resides in /system/media and does not include sound since it's not supported.

Here's a flashable zip for the halo bootanimation. The first one is for people that are running a rom with the bootanimation located in system/customize/resource. The second is for people that are running a rom with the bootanimation located in system/media. The first one has the sound included but the second one does not because there is not a way to use sound for the bootanimation on a rom that has the bootanimation located in system/media. Just wipe dalvik/cache and flash.

wow again u should make a thread with all your anims man unless u have one and i missed that ..

This looks pretty sweet.
One thing though, for those with roms using the system/media folder. You can add any boot sound you like, just make or get your mp3 file.
Using Root explorer
Rename the file to android_audio.mp3
Then copy the file to the system/media folder.

i Love it and i'm not even a Halo fan but i want this Boot animation

I just tried renaming and moving the audio like u said and it did not work. I've been looking for awhile to find a way to add the audio on roms that store the bootanimation in system/media but haven't had any luck so I was really hoping this would be the answer. Question, I take it u have done this and it worked so can u tell me what rom u are currently running that u were able to do this. Just curious to see if its a sense rom or aosp. Thanks.

First I would like to say thank you for creating that. It looks pretty awesome.
Also, I have an HTC Evo with MikFroyo 4.4 Which one would I use for my setup? I have not done any custom bootscreens or anything like that, so this is new to me.
And lastly, do you have any other animations out there? If your work here is any sign, I would like to see what else you have come up with.
Thank you,

thanks for this, its like u read my mind ive been trying the last few days to port a rom and i didnt do alot of the things listed and couldnt get it to boot
but also theres something u should add to the post, u have to change the mount points in the updater script to your devices (only have xp with evo and evo shift but i think its different alot of phones, can the points in an updater script in a zip for your device)
also ive been told the system/etc/firmware is something that should be added too, sorry not trying to criticize im just trying to get all the info i can and put it all together to hopefully get a working rom and thought id share

Looks great!

i just tried it and got error 7 which means somethings wrong with the META-INF folder and i swapped the update-binary and it didnt give me any problems (on evo shift)

Very cool. I will definitely play with this later.

I did your porting steps, didn't test yet cuz of no phone. but lets say everything went fine, after How would I be able to tweak the new rom(which I created, Thnx to you) for more stability, smoothness, and performance, aside from the graphic glitches.
I have A Hd2, and I ported from Sergio76 CoreDroid V1.6 the files you have in the Tutorial to His work on the Sensation V2.0.

You are a boss Samuel! I got it booting!

It is needed, Recovery acts pretty retarted when it's using the wrong update-binary, it's needed
But, OMG THANKS A LOT There's so much I missed when I ported other ROMs... I didn't do 3/4 of this

Mine won't even boot. Logcat doesn't even show anything going on Just says Waiting for Device.

Q/A
I HATE YOU MAN THIS IS TO COMPLICATED FOR ME
Nothing is complicated is just that you must read and read to learn and being a pro:victory:
I WANT "X" GUIDE FOR DEVELOP "X" STUFF FOR THE PHONE
Of course I will update this thread each time you want any guide you only have to write a comment and I will use my magic crystal ball ....GOOGLE:laugh:
MAN I LOVE YOU THANKS FOR YOUR AWESOME THREAD WILL YOU MERRY ME?
Ahh NOOO! with just saying thanks you just make my day better
CAN I DONATED YOU?
No=I'm just 13 years old an I live on Venezuela and more important I don't have credit card LOL
DOES THIS WORKS FOR OTHER DEVICES?
Of course yes but only the bootanimations (check if your device is HDPI),the NOT galaxy s 4g guides threads and the build.pro
TEST MY KERNEL OR TEST MY ROM
No I will help you with logcats but no testing your roms or kernels (I don't want an expensive paperweight.. and being grounded)
CAN I TROLL YOU?
NO!!!!!!!
WHERE'S THE THANKS BOTTOM I CAN FIND IT?
This question doesn't deserve a respectful answer
HAA YOU BRICKED MY PHONE YOU [email protected]&*@
Has the op says be careful with your messing up THATS WY I LEAVE YOU THE UN-BRICKEABLE MOD FOR ONLY HARD BRICKS
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED!!:good:
ON NEXT UPDATE
PICS PERSONALLY TAKEN BY ME OF EVERY ROM
YOU TELL ME....

Thanks! I like how the first link is interactive, and showing you how to code little by little. I'll have to check these out more in detail sometime. Should be very helpful for people wanting to get their feet wet in doing their own development.
The 2 other links you posted have an extra "http://" at the beginning which gives an invalid link. I took one of them out and got to the right page, but wanted to let you know so you can edit the OP.
I would say if anyone else has any other helpful links, post them up!

Links now working sorry about that!! ( I didnt checked before because i was studing for the final exams )

thread updated with more fun:victory::victory::victory:

like a machine more cool stuff added

Solrac, it might be better if you would concentrate your efforts on updating our wiki since some information has already been repeated a few times, particularly the roms list. If you wind up putting them in the wiki then other users can edit it once you decide to not update this thread. I've seen it happen to at least two other threads already which is why team acid have moved some of our instructions to the wiki.

I agree with fb most people *we hope* would read the wiki and find all this awesome info
and if you do update the wiki update the way java6 is installed because unless i did it wrong i could get it working with this:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Looks like the package isn't in the archive anymore. I had to do this to install java6 jdk.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository [B]ppa:ferramroberto/java[/B]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

Ok tomorrow is THE BIG WIKI'S DAY....on small step for the developers on big step for noobs and users EDIT: Don't worry erikmm I will do all the dirty job tomorrow cuz' is Friday for the love of GOD finally!!!

I don't think JavaScript and Java is the same. Or am I mistaken that Android reads JavaScript and not Java?

MORE COOL EXTRA
Some cool bootanimations just for you guys the easiest way to install this is to use Root Explorer. Download the file and rename to bootanimation.zip. Copy the file and navigate to system/media change the permissions to R/W (read/write) by clicking the button in the top right. Rename the existing bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. Then paste the file in this directory. Change permission back to R/O (read only). Reboot and enjoy the show.
ICS BOOTANIMATION NOT ICS !!! Do you want an ICS experience in gingerbread then check the ICS bootanimation http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/bootanimation/800x480/ICS/bootanimation.zip
I WANNA MAKE A COOL BOOTANIMATION AN CHANGING THE BOOTLOADER GRAPHIC
OK first making a bootanimation not risky follow this guide http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-d...ry-create-preview-manage-boot-animations.html Now making a bootloader graphic is dangerous (i'm not the kind of guy who says this "weird word") but anyway here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493466
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm confused and lost and scared. What is the difference between changing the bootanimation and bootloader graphic?

bootloader graphic is the second animation but if you are scared dont change that animation and the bootanimation you dont have to worry you only have to check if the bootanimation is HDPI
EDIT: java and javascript is not the same ( java is for ui and javascript is for web pages and other stuff)

Ok thanks I was a bit paranoid. If the phone fails to load the bootanimation it falls back to a "Android" logo correct? Cause that's what happened to me

in theory yes if you still scared bootloader graphic then dont play with that I am warning you because im not going to be responsible of bricks

[MOD/Fix]Re-enable back button menu

Hello! As of the review device of HTC One has a back button to map the menu key and remove the ugly black menu bar on the bottom of the screen. But the retail devices(at least on the germany variant) got that removed or broken. I have modded the Settings.apk of the HTC One to reenable back that option.
Please test as I don't have the device to test it on my own. A feedback would be great

Instructions:
1. Overwrite the old Settings.apk on /system/app.
2. Delete the dex file located on /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
3. Reboot device.
4. Check if it shows up on the "Display, gestures & buttons" menu on the settings.
Blinkfeed mod to disable/enable blinkfeed coming soon once I get my device.
*Waiting for handtec*

I've tested the replacement method and it doesn't work for me (O2 Germany Device).

Hi! When did you test it? I just made this awhile ago. The old version didnt work.

this morning. But i test the new version asap and give you feedback.

Make sure to backup then delete the original Settings.apk and yeah delete the dex file.
Almost forgot you need to reboot after.

No, didn't work. After replace and delete dex the settings didn't work complete. After reboot the settings are back without the back button option. hmm

Hello guys! Thanks for testing! And glad it worked lol! I decompiled again tried looking why it didn't work on Swoosh82 so I didn't get to see the replies at once. Anyways thanks @deagleone for confirming that it's working Was about to pull my hair off looking for the problem
And to those who are interested in using this to include in their ROM or whatever just go ahead no need to ask permission to me

Hi Riyal...
i think the Problem is the Kernel, if u replace sys apps using RootExplorer etc. after reboot they are replaced with the old ones...
Flash in recovery did the trick (systemui, framework, etc)
And once more thanks for spending your Hair :fingers-crossed:

Good job, very well done. Funny enough HTC has changed the method from 1.26 to 1.27, but old method did not work (but did on full 1.26 ROM). So they obviously had a different approach, before they ultimately removed it. So thx for bringing it back.

A kernel couldn't do that. And that's weird looks like HTC One has some rollback function on system apps? @[email protected]

I am not sure about the different versions. What I did was just download mike's ARHD and checked what things I can tinker with it.

Hi Guys
i've installed the mod in the recovery with the zip file.
Now i can't enter the setting anymore. Tried to push the apk manually, no success.
Maybe the problem is, that i use the original O2 firmware.
Hope you can help.
sry for my english

I am not sure about the firmware versions yet. But the Settings.apk came from mike's ARHD ROM. Perhaps if you guys can provide me with a O2 Settings.apk then I think I can make one for you devices.

It is the kernel, it was this way with my one x
Basically the kernel implements write protection on the system partition, so you write to it and nothing ever sticks. There are work arounds but one is a little risky and the other we just have to wait for kernel source

Ohh ok sorry never had a One Series device yet Wonder how they do that. For it to become replaceable but get's restored on boot it needs to store files on ram. But that's not the case. Hmmm HTC One got my interest more Can't wait to tinker with it's kernel :victory:
