[R] Transparent Dialer for Stock ICS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I've been searching around for a transparent dialer for the stock Rogers ics rom. I don't want to flash a custom rom at the moment & the dialers on the play store such as exdialer etc don't allow you to clear the recent calls without deleting the logs. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hmmm
I have been using this: m4570d0n
But my device is rooted, and you should run a nandroid backup before you try this, might bork a factory rogers setup like yours.
Hopefully it is what you are looking for.
Good Luck,
Heeter

Thanks. I'm rooted but stock ics, & everything there is only for cm9 roms... I'll keep looking.

What you are looking for is a modded version of the Contacts.apk that has a transparent theme for the phone app. The Contacts.apk is both the "people" app (what you would typically assume is the Contacts app) and the "phone" app (dialer, missed calls log, etc.). The Phone.apk is just just for the in-call stuff only. The only way to do that is to either theme it yourself or find one that has been themed already. However, it also has to be a Contacts.apk that's based on the touchwhiz(stock) framework. Anything AOSP-based (CM9, AOKP, etc) will not work.
I have no idea if this will still work as I believe it was based on a now outdated version of Sky ICS but you can try.

Save it to your sdcard. Then open up a root file browser like Root Explorer or Solid Explorer and move the file to /system/app. Then change permissions on the file to rw-r--r-- and change the owner/group to root. Then reboot and you're good to go.
As always, make a backup of the original Contacts.apk.
edit: made a typo and accidentally deleted the permissions to change. That's what I get for typing this from my phone.

Yeah I can, the thing that I don't understand is why I'd be changing the contact apk, when it's the dialer that I would like to change?
And if I post my contact apk won't all my contacts be made public?

The contact.apk controls the Dailer.
..and no they won't your contacts are not stored in the .apk

Ok, I'll do that.... I copied the contract apk to the external sd, but how can I add it to the post via Tapatalk?
The other thing that I noticed, was my contact is less than 2meg, while the contact apk that silverwrx posted earlier in this thread, is about 3.5meg? Just wondering why there's such a big difference in size?
Edit: would you mind posting a screen shot of your dialer?

Yup I've got both. So just renaming both the existing contact apks & then moving the deodexed contact.apk as is into system apps, I don't have to do anything else with it (I'm asking because I hadn't paid attention to other apks that I moved, that there was also an odex file).

[Theme][EP4D] BioCharge v1 [Debloater][12/01/11]

After an all-nighter, a day, and another all-nighter, I'm proud to present BioCharge; a touch of Bionic for your Charge. This is my first attempt at theming, and an attempt to port the Driod Bionic's UI to the Droid Charge.
NOTE! This theme is anywhere but done, however I consider it full enough to release a copy of it. Very few apps are themed and most apps included are only included for the icon. This theme is still very poopified and will be worked on casually by me over time.
What you need:
dwitherall's flashable EP4D + extras
The latest version of CWM
Bravery and backups
What's included:
A fully themed TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
A handful of icons for stock apps
AOSP Mms.apk (if you want the stock Mms.apk, make a backup of it before flashing)
A debloater in the install script (in case you left the bloat already or are flashing this over a fresh install)
What's to come:
More themed apps
I'll take requests, speak your mind!
Download here!
Screenshots!
Looks very good! Keep up the good work.
Sent from my mobile office.
thank you!
The theme looks great and I look forward to the next release.
Can this be flashed on any ep4 debloated?

I'm not sure. If you're feeling brave, make a backup and try it. I'd probably say no, since they're two different versions.

I just tryed to open my camera and it force closed.
To everyone getting FC's: do a fix permissions and see if that clears it up. The only part of Camera.apk I changed was the icon.
i just fixed permissions and im still getting FC's
could you possibly post a version that does not run the debloat script?
Thanks!
For the problem with the Camera app, you can go into the original zip file for the EP4D update and find the Camera.apk and Camerafirmware.apk and extract them to your SDCard, and then use root explorer to copy and paste both back into your system/app folder. Of course, you should use Titanium backup to uninstall both those files before you copy the new files over. I have both the files on hand, but I don't know if the rules of the forum restrict posting stock apks
Can't wait until this is done. Make Sam look like moto.

How do I get wallpaper from gtg's Infused rom

Hi everyone. I've been reading around xda for quite a while and would first like to say thanks to all the great devs and others on here who have really helped to make the infuse an even better phone. Ok so this is my first post so I hope I have the right section. My question: is it possible to pull the sgs2 wallpaper pack from gtg's Infused rom? I've searched everywhere and can't find a wallpaper pack like it. I'm trying to complete my sgs2 look on my infuse with CM7 and wizmod2 theme. Thanks for any help!
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Try searching for the wallpapers in the rom zip. Normal locations are the framework apk if its just one. Or a separate folder in the ROM if they are multiple.

Yes, but only selective apps. You may, but should be careful with the android build version. Some apps are compiled from sources, and those might not be compatible when taken from one ROM to another. But others, like add on apps, can be taken.

You can use tw4.5 which is a modded version for any phone but I've found it to be buggy. there is also a framework mod that can be done to get it all working. I'm actually gonna play with that tonight.

I think the tree structure within framework.jar is a bit different but it may still work, I still haven't tested it, I got distracted. you can use apk tool or smali to decompile it, baksmali or apk tool to compiled it.
I don't mess with apk manager because it tries to do to much for you and isn't really useful because the apps don't usually work when you are done, you wind up having to pull files from the Finnished apk and dropping them in a copy of the original because the signing doesn't work with system apps.

Rom with spell checker?

I just got this phone yesterday to discover that the stock rom (rooted) doesn't have the red line show up under a misspelled word. I had this on my evo 4g running cm9 or 10.
Does anyone know of a rom, or roms, that would have this feature.

I installed LantinIME.apk from a rom I extracted for the evo. The keyboard worked but still no spell checker. Did you happen to notice if any of the roms you've flashed had this feature, preferably an ICS rom?

I also think this is a keyboard feature. Try installing one of the different keyboards from the play store.
I'm using swift 3, no red lines on touchwiz, however my galaxy player 5.0 running cm9 w/swift 3 has it (did not on touchwiz). I assume this is a rom feature.

I just got the phone and even though I've been doing a ton of reading, I'm still a noob when it comes to the s3. And the last thing I want to do is mess anything up. Atlest with the evo 4g I didn't have to worry about different carriers and what not.

The changes made should work. So basically if you compared the changes of this to their stock rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825272 and then applied the same changes to our stock rom, it would work. BUT their files as is will not work.
Basically, it would probably take about 15 minutes for someone to do if they knew what they were doing. I however don't have 15 minutes to spend on this so I can't help right now lol.

so what I would do is download their stock deodex and extract the files that are included in the mod.
Then, decompile the .jars and apks that were modded and the stock version
Run winmerge on them to see exactly what they changed
Then make those exact changes to our stock deodex rom. So you will need to decompile 3 sets of files and recompile 1 set.

I got apktool installed and decompiled framework.jar where it creates a folder called smali. The problem is, I can't view any of the contents from within it. If I go to properties it states contents "nothing" yet shows free space as being 66.7 GB. So I know that there's something in there, I'm just not allowed to view the contents. I read somewhere that you need a text editor?
I did all this on a Linux machine (Mint 13.) I'm gonna try it on a windows PC next just to see what happens.
Edit: I found out that by changing .jar to .apk and then decompiling it allowed me to view the contents. Now I'm sitting at trying to open the TextView.smali. lol
Edit 2: for some reason it's not working for the JellyWiz rom. It's still not showing the contents from within the samli folder.

Question about the uot kitchen and framework apk

I'm really confused and hoping someone can help...
I'm on rooted stock ICS... attempted to use the kitchen for some basic changes status bar icons and such.. and flashing the uot file did not work for the battery, wifi icon, or data icon... as I have done before, identify the framework APK, opened it in 7z, and added the images I wanted to use. I used root explorer to push the APK back, mounting the proper folder...
but even after wiping the cache and dalvik, the images refuse to change.
I have since extracted the APK, to verify that the images were there and everything looked right and it does. So where is ics pulling the images from that its using??
Any help would be appreciated.

It's been a while since I've heard anyone talk about the kitchen, and if I remember correctly, the last thing I did hear was that it didn't work/caused problems after we got updated to ICS. So maybe it just won't work at all for us anymore? Can't you just try manually swapping the images in systemUI like you did in framework-res?

Yes I'll have to try that. I guys I didn't think about it, because I did switch the images for the pattern lock screen in the framework apk, and that actually worked.
But yeah I'll give that a try..

If you find the image for the notification dropdown, I'd love to know the name. I've been wanting to make it semi-transparent on whatever ROM I install for quite some time.
Really weird. The wifi icons are in the systemui, along with the battery icons...but I can't get the data icons to change there, nor in the framework..

[Q] 1% Battery Icon Help

I'm on stock 4.0.4, rooted... UOT Kitchen isn't working for me, as my phone uses SystemUI.apk instead of the framework for my statusbar icons. So what I did was I went through the steps at the Kitchen to get my UOT zip, unzipped and pulled the images and xml files. I then added the 200+ battery icons to my drawable-hdpi folder from systemui (using 7zip), and then added the xml files to the drawable folder.
I did this once before, and after clearing the dalvik, battery stats and cache, it worked...but this time my battery icon has disappeared altogether.
I put the images and xml files in the framework as well just to be sure...but no go. I've tried a couple different attempts from UOT but nothing. I even tried rom toolbox, but apparently it doesn't replace the xml files.
I read something about the kernel maybe affecting this...Is that true?
Is there a Kernel that is stable that I can use on stock ICS?
I have searched and searched, but cannot find a good answer to this, so please don't go off about the search button. The kernels all seem to be older, and the last one I tried to flash that was supposed to work left me with a reflash.
Oh, and the stock rom I'm on has been deodexed and zip aligned..
Thanks in advance!
PS.. I have been researching kernels, but they list things that I am unfamiliar with, or don't know if I want...etc...but I want this to work, and I would love for custom boot animations to work through rom toolbox and such. Also I know I could decompile the xml's to fix the battery, but I'm having trouble with Java on my laptop at the moment. If anyone is on stock with 1% battery icons, if you could extract and post the xml's that would be great...!
UOT kitchen supports GB/ICS ROMs, including TouchWiz ones. You just need to upload SystemUI.apk, framework.res and twframework.res - and you'll get a flashable ZIP.
I was under impression it's very clearly stated there.
It is, but I always get the stf....something..error when I include my systemui.APK...
In any case the xml files the kitchen gives me should still work..because the folder hierarchy is the same as the framework-res.APK...

Every APK has the same folder structure. It doesn't mean that the files from one will work on another.
You might have taken one XML too many. Battery icons don't hurt anything, wrong XMLs can.
Also you need to be deodexed for it to have any effect, so I'm assuming you're running deodexed stock root?
Battery icons, I think, are in the twframework_res.apk, not in Systemui.apk
Also, on a tw rom a lot of the default images have a tw_ prefix.

Yes, correct.
@liquidzoo In my case they are in fact in the systemui.apk..the new icons showed up before I switched the xml...

So then why did you switch the XML? If the images have the exact same names as the old ones, you shouldn't need to touch the XML.

Because it didn't show the 1% increments...only the several that are default.
I went and reflashed a uot zip I had previously, and it seems to have corrected the xml...works again. Not sure why flashing it worked but not manually replacing the xml..

Ok so I decided to get off the stock rom and this morning flashed to Vincom's Superlite CM10 JB rom..
And I'll be darned if I'm back to square one with this..
I have searched and searched for hours and cannot find a legitimate 1% battery mod that works for Skyrocket and this Rom...Yet there does seem to be a plethora out there for other phones..
Does anyone have a clear-cut solution for this, aside from manually compiling/decompiling? Anyone? Is there a mod that would work for this phone?
CM10 includes a circle mod 1% battery mod already.
System (or Rom Control, whatever it's called) > Status Bar > Battery Icon
Choose CircleMOD.

Yeah that's what I was hoping for, but apparently in vincoms version it doesn't have that option.. only regular, percentage number, or nothing at all..
Other than that it's a sick Rom for the record..

What's wrong with just the percentage battery? Are you strictly looking for a circle? He probably just hasn't updated his base build since the circle mod was a fairly recent addition to CM10. You could always just flash CM10. But in all reality there are a ton of battery mods out there, all of which are 1%. I duno why you can't find any.

It's not really about which icons.. it's about the capability to have them..
The are a ton of mods, that's for sure... but none for this phone that still work.. because the ics folders apparently changed..
Not to say they would not work with jb, but I can't find a clear answer to that..
I think I'm going to try using the same xml files and cross my fingers.

CM10 (any recently nightly/stable)
AOKP
LiquidSmooth
Any PA/PAC variant
Slim Bean
Orthus
All of those have the circle mod. Probably a lot more that I don't know about do too.

Yeah.. that's why I can't believe there isn't more info floating around..
I did discover the wonder of themes today.. so I can at least have the battery with those while I learn how to edit the xmls..

Yea I can't really figure this out either. Every time I turn my head I see a battery mod.
