[MOD]*done* Add reboot,recovery,download mode to power off menu

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for what happens to your phone-use at your own risk. Always do a nandroid backup before using mods
This is a port of untermensch's vibrant mod found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811532
*completed mod now available with aosp lockscreen included*
*note: these mods include framework-res.apk and need to be included in the base of a theme or rom/flashing over the top of one will overwrite previous theming done to framework-res with stock images and break some pre-existing mods*
Thanx and credit to him for getting me this far, I have made a few changes to his instructions to make it work on epic. The below mod only has the reboot option added. I have yet to try his latest instructions to add reboot recovery but it might work too. Just wanted to get this over to the Epic side for discussion and help if it isn't as easy to port the rest of it.
Add reboot option to power off menu http://www.mediafire.com/?hoetfjbq77hm77s flash in clockwork recovery (its only android policy.jar) and make sure your system is deodexed. We can add more things into it to get android policy jar mods to play together later.
Here's a .zip that has both the AOSP lockscreen mod and reboot button mod together: http://www.mediafire.com/?010dchn522nxge9
Complete mod port plus aosp lockscreen click here
Note: this .zip includes framework-res.apk,framework.jar and android.policy. jar. The recovery function gets you to stock recovery but you can still get into clockwork by flashing the update.zip you should have on your sdcard already. If any one knows how to get it to go straight to clockwork like rom manager does I would like to have it do that.
Complete mod port plus aosp lockscreen-no full battery popups click here
All three in one now, this is just like the one above but also has services.jar
Complete mod port only click here
Includes framework-res.apk,framework.jar and android.policy.jar
Complete mod port with no popups click here
Includes framework-res.apk,framework.jar,services.jar and android.policy. jar

Works Perfect.....Ty

The reboot recovery mod looks like it will need framework mods as well if you are interested in trying to get the rest of this going. Care to jumpin?

Has this been tested?
just asking cause yesterday I flashed a normal app! flash 10.1 and my phone was stuck blackscreened lol and had to odin ect AND I am very happy with the phone now so I dont wan't to result to that again

I've been waiting for this to get ported - thank you!

It flashed with no problem, but it replaced my Vanilla lock screen with the TouchWiz one. If I flash the Vanilla lock screen back on, will the reboot option still be there?

Holdin down power+voldown+camera after touching reboot gets you into recovery. I know a software button is better but in the mean time.

The only way for certain is to re-theme this framwork-res with your images. You might try swapping just your drawable-hdpi folder into this one and if there is anything left out track it down and add it back. I am not sure where values folder goes when it re-compiled so you don't want to write over it as it will cause issues.
OP has a new .zip with all three mods in one now, let me know if there are any issues with it.

What xmls did you edit? What I was getting at is use this as a base and re-do the theme to it but if you accidentally over write the values folder it will not work properly. Since I don't know where valuse goes when its been compiled(it only shows when decompiled) you run the risk of breaking the mod. Its certainlgy worth a shot though.

[MOD]Center Clock Mod and More

I am putting this together for anyone interested in having your clock centered and if you are so inclined a bit of advice on how to change out some statusbar icons I will not be providing the actual icons but will explain how to do so if you are interested.
This should work on any one xl using stock deodexed sense but has only been tested on the att version.
First off you must be rooted and have a deodexed rom installed.
You will need some type of file explorer I use root explorer
You will need this app Zip Themer installed on your phone LINK
Once you have Zip Themer installed grab the attached file and place it in the folder on your sd card named zip themer.
Whats inside the zip? It is a compiled status_bar.xml with the center clock mod applied.
Now run zip themer select +theme and then select the zip you just placed in the folder then select build it when complete you will find two zip files on the root of your sd one called update and one called undo take the the one name update and unzip it inside you will find a systemui.apk.
Take the apk and navigate to system app folder and create a folder name temp.
Place the apk inside now fix the permissions to match the existing systemui.apk
Once you have done that move it to the system app folder it will ask you if you wish to overwrite the current apk say yes and reboot phone and you will have your clock centered.
If something goes wrong the undo folder contains a original copy of your systemui.apk so can replace it.
Now if your feeling more adventurous and wish to change out some icons as well you will need a copy of your systemui on your pc unzip it inside navigate to
res drawable-xhdpi folder you will need this as reference to name your new icons. Unzip the file attached to this post on your pc as well.
Find the icons you wish to use and place them in the systemui res drawable-xhdpi folder that is in the zip I provided make sure to name them exactly as they are named in the origional systemui folder when you have all your icons zip the xml file and the folder and follow the instructions above.
Please do this at your own risk I am not responsible if you brick your phone or anything else.
Updated
Statusbar icons that were used in my set up are now attached
For data signal only 4g is themed because that is all I needed I don't get lte and very seldom drop of 4g well actually I have never dropped off 4g since I had the phone. The saturn icons were made by me the other icons were from various sources so credt to those who made them.
Here's a screen shot of mine to show what can be done.
Using nova launcher and stock deodexed sense

what rom are you running?

Any chance you could upload the Icons you're using there?

[Q] Will Themes from the International One X work for us?

Shouldn't the themes for the International One X work for us as well? Especially since there's a new way of theming that just replaces the graphical stuff and not the actual apk. They say it should work on most devices with same sense versions. We have the same sense version, same resolution same buttons etc. I've tried a few but the developers have a model check and they abort. The one that i found over there that did not do a model check worked fine. Could someone with experience with themes chime in please? thanks!
EDIT. I'm only talking about themes With the villain theming system. It does not replace the apks, only mods them.

VillainTheme System 0.4.0
As a user, you don't need to know much - just flash this zip like a regular zip, and you'll get your theme running. But you should be able to apply themes to any device, ROM, and version of the ROM, without it causing adverse effects. That means less time spent by themers making the original theme, and less time spent modifying it constantly for new versions of ROMs.
Features..
Will modify APKs in a ROM, without changing signatures, and can be used on any ROM where the filenames of themed files is the same.
Should not need updated between versions of a ROM
Zipaligns all APKs before installation
Stores a backup of all files being modified in /cache/vrtheme-backup/
Requires no coding abilities or editing of files - just drag and drop
Can copy "raw" files, though at risk of not working on other devices

What "new theming method" are you talking about?
The only type of themeing I've seen is replacing system files, like SystemUI.apk and stuff.
It that's the case, then no it won't work.

I installed this theme without issues. Was made using villain theme system for the International one X
Quote from changelog of this theme
UPDATE 21 May: After a lot of tweaking and tinkering, have managed to make the theme work with the VillainTheme system. This means that it should now work with any ROM, and shouldn't affect any of the ROM dev's individual tweaks.
The theme modifies the following system apks:
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
fusion.apk

Sense 4 is sense 4 as far as I know. I'm sure you can remove the model check form the update script. link one you'd like to install and I'll check it out

That's definitely not a good idea. Most Sense themes contain the SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. So if the rom your using on your AT&T One X has any mods done to any of those apk's you will loose them and if the rom that the theme was built for has any mods done to those apk's you will more than likely have issues. If there is a specific theme you like, get me the link and I will try to port it over.

No you're right, not a noob. Tiff didn't realize I was talking about the villain theming system.. This system only replaces graphics, not the entire apk. Unfortunately she said she wasn't familiar ( hasn't used it) so that reply is a little misleading. I'll get you that theme I was talking about to try and change the model.

Ok I've found the model check lines in the aroma installer but I have no idea how to disable them.
It LOOKS like if you unzip the theme you can push the vrtheme folder to your sd card on your phone and then run the installtheme.sh from adb shell.

Wouldn't it be a little hard to install a theme while the rom is running? Just thinking it would be A mess changing graphics while active. Unless I misunderstood yooz.
Maybe I could swap the vrtheme folder in the theme that does work, doesn't check the model. That cream theme I posted earlier..mwhat a horrible name lol

For the Gingerbread ROM's i always did em myself using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24370886#post24370886
But since ICS came its harder because if you only modify the framework.res.apk file you end up with CRT effect and straight after it the screen blinks and then goes off.
For ICS you also need to mod some other files but my android skills are like zero so im stuck too....

Most of the crt-off mods will make your screen flicker right when turning it off(i.e. the screen will turn on for a split second after locking/turning off the device)hope it doesn't happen on this one

If you could upload your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework,I would make one for you When I'm free.I ask you to upload your frameworks because to keep your theme the same.

Why should we put it in the internal SD? I keep all my flashables on the external SD (Serioux 16GB class 6) and never had any troubles...
Some people also recommended using the internal to flash from rather than external, on the Motorola ATRIX.
Any particular reason why? Scientific explanation

Just as I said,did it in hurry so might have something wrong but there is nothing to do I fear.just a change of bool to trigger crt.Just try to remove the lib file from /system/lib in the zip and flash.Lets see if It has caused the problem.

As far as I know, that libsurfaceflinger is required, otherwise you get the flicker...

So there will never be a working crt for 4.0.4 LR6?
Can't really understand why they changed so much in updates

So Sammy puts so much work in the frameworks for every (small, I'd say) update? CRT animation was flickering even on 4.0.3 (XXLQ3 - RocketROM) and 4.0.4 LRK and LR6. I know CRT is tricky on ICS in general or so devs say?

MOD) animation lag fix?

i privately mod - theme all of my android devices. both the s4 and the optimus g pro lags like hell as we all know. we can either blame hardware or the software. im going with the software. the permanent fix will be custom roms and kernels but until then i was digging through the systemUI and framework-res and i think i found the source of some of the lag.
it's in the framework-res / animations folder. in here you can see standard animation xml's but also touchwiz ones that were added by samsung for all of the new gimmicky features and gestures. so i performed an experiment. i opened up my framework and added aosp animations from a cm10.1 rom, added the res back to the apk and pushed it to my device. BOOM, lag gone for the most part and smoother animations. before this i tried everything including deodexing, debloating and turning off all features.
i just thought i post my findings for the devs and anyone who feels like getting their hands a bit dirty.
enjoy! :good:
EDIT:

here is the modded framework-res. push via adb to system/framework and restart your device. this is a stock, unmodded framework other than what i replaced with the animations. this is a deodexed apk, so don't try on any odexed rom. THIS IS FOR AT&T ONLY!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BLOW UP YOUR DEVICE. BACKUP YOUR CURRENT FRAMEWORK-RES BEFORE PUSHING THE NEW ONE IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES.
IF this works the mods can move this to the dev section.

i don't think what im seeing is a placebo either, the window animation and close animations are really smooth now.

Sounds great. I have added a couple systemui.apk's but the jerky hesitation at times is really agrevating.

as long as its deodexed, a at&t rom and no existing mods it should work.

I dont want to be the first to try it lol...wanna wait until its tested and moved.

working fine on my device but to each their own. i will ask for this to be moved when more people comment.

So I'd have to Odin a deoxed version of the stock ROM then flash this over correct?

Yes you must be deodexed. Been testing, the lag is much better but not totally gone. I'm going to do more searching tomorrow.

You can't Odin a deodexed ROM. And there's no flashing. You just deodex your current ROM, then copy and paste his framework-res.apk into /system/framework/.

Wish I had better news, I tried it and got stuck at the at&t boot screen. I had a deodexed rom. Not sure what went wrong using odin to go back to stock for now. Thanks for the mod. I just had to be the one to try it...lol...:crying:

Were you on the newest ota? And are you sure you were deodexed? If anybody else reports it I'll take it down. Weird as it pushed and works fine on my device.

Did your check permissions before replacing the framework?

Yeah it sounds like he didn't set the permissions on the .apk before booting.
For anyone else who wants to try this, copy the framework-res.apk to your /sdcard (if you're using adb and the framework-res.apk is on your C:\ drive, use the following adb command without the quotes: "adb push C:\framework-res.apk /sdcard") and then use the following adb commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk.bak
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
rm data/dalvik-cache/*
reboot
This saves a copy of your original framework-res.apk as "framework-res.apk.bak", in the event that it goes wrong it's just a simple adb command away to revert back to your old version.
I added the animations from the OP's mod to the framework that I use, which comes from DocBarebones' theme add-on for the i9505/i9500 S4 variant. Everything has a dark/gray tint, as I always like to black out my phone as much as possible.
Here is the file, just push it using the same method(s) above. Works great for me!

so over 600 views on the thread. can anybody confirm it at least pushed and worked correctly without bootlooping? i just want to make sure its ok to keep the download link up.
