[MOD] CM7 Battery % mod Honeycomb style

I cooked up a little battery % mod for CM7 on the MT4GS just now in the UOT kitchen. Very easy to do in case you don't like mine and want to customize your own. Here's a pic of what it looks like (only the battery portion):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And here's the link:
http://www.multiupload.com/A03A3LYUKF
Instructions:
1. download zip
2. reboot into recovery
3. make nandroid backup just in case
4. wipe dalvik/cache
5. install zip from sdcard
6. reboot
7. enjoy
I'm not responsible for people ruining their devices because they didn't make a nandroid or tried to flash this on a ROM other than CM7.1 for the MT4GS. That's what this battery mod is made for and I'm not going to guarantee results of any kind.

Will this work on the Virtuous rom as well?

Just pull the files that it asks for, our phone is not on the list. You are rooted right? Use a file explorer to find the files
framework-res.apk
com.htc.resources.apk these are located in /system/framework
and also get
SystemUI.apk
Which is located in /system/app
Then select upload system files instead of choosing from the list, and up load the files. It works great, I themed my whole phone last night.

I'm a rookie, would you please give details explanation how to do this
, yes my phone is rooted hboot unlocked with s-on.

Get a root explorer, I use Root Explorer, it is a paid app, and totally worth it if you are rooted. I am not sure what free options are good, so ask around. My boyfriend was using File Expert, but it did not work very well, he finally bought Root Explorer, and he hasn't had a problem since.
Open the root explorer or file manager that you have, make sure you have R/W (read/write) privileges. Then look for the folder named system, in that folder you will find another folder named framework, inside that folder you will find a file named framework-res.apk , and another file named com.htc.resources.apk. When you see one of those files you long press on it, and a menu will pop up asking what you want to do with the file. You can choose copy, and then paste in on the root of your sd card, but I choose the option to send, and I send it to my dropbox. Then go to the system folder again, and look for a folder named app, inside that folder you will find SystemUI.apk , also copy that one to your sd card, or send it to your dropbox. Once you have those 3 files on your sd card, or in your dropbox, move them to your computer. Open the UOT Kitchen, make your modifications, then click on the tab that says file upload. On the right of the page there will be some options to "Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files" Choose upload system files. 4 boxes to upload files will pop up, only use the top 3. Click the select file button, and find the file that they are asking for by that button, then upload it. When all 3 files are uploaded, and you have made the modifications that you want then click the summary tab, it will have a summary of what you did, and a button at the bottom to submit your work. After you press it it will give you an order number, copy that down. Under your order number there will be a link to go to the pick up page, click it, and wait for your order to show up. Then download your order, and it will be a flashable zip, flash it and enjoy.

[JB APPS]Google Earth,Email,Play Store with Voice Search

So after deodexing the nexus 4 system dump(which i grabbed from androidtaskforce) and trying various combinations of apps to work on our device(was really a tiresome job).
I present the following:
1.Google Earth
2.Email(not gmail)
3.Play Store
4.Voice Search for Play Store
So to get this fun on your phone
1.Download and extract this zip.
Note: This is not a flashable zip so don't go flashing this in any recovery.Just extract this zip.I'll upload a flashable zip later.
2.Copy all the files in app folder to system/app folder and set the permission to 644(rw-r--r--)
3.Similarly Copy all files in lib folder to system/lib folder and set the permission to 644(rw-r--r--)
4.Simply install the GoogleEarth.apk and Phonesky.apk( don't copy them to system/app just click on them and install normally).
5.Reboot your phone and enjoy!!!!!
Note: If you get some error in these do a cache+dalvic wipe.That should fix it.
Njoy!!!!

Well first you've to be rooted to do that.Then you must have some file explorer that allows you access to root(Root Explorer,ES File Explorer)
Then when you've copied the file in proper place (assuming you're using root explorer)touch and hold on that file name a menu will pop up.Select set permission from there and then set the permission to 644(rx-r--r--)
In short your permission window should look like this
**-
*--
*--
* denotes tick
- denotes untick..
Hope that gets it cleared for everyone!!!!

+1 for solid explorer. Its nice with the dark theme, and I like the interface compared to root explorer.
Also can someone put GoogleEarth.apk link up. I won't be around a computer to extract the zip and get the apk for a while. Would be appreciated..

Interface is really nice, I have both but I prefer solid explorer cause of the dual browsers in landscape mode, makes copy pasting and editing very simple.. also you can click on the file icons for multi select, no long pressing needed !

Only 6mb space left in system/lib and the file to be moved is around 17mb.wat to do?

Clear some bloatware.but take a backup of what you delete first so that you can put them back if you want.
You can remove the apps from system/apps that you don't use.the most safe one's are facebook,google plus,talk,play music,play movies etc you get the jist.don't remove any app whose function you don't know.
You can use any method to do so however i personally recommend titanium backup to do so.I've installed many apps using it after taking backup.

Guys with help from 'Ani' here's how I solved it :
Install apk & then the earth lib file in sys/lib & set permission 644.

Heads up for users on JB 4.1.2!
If you're to install Google earth in 4.1 leak, please copy only the lib file libearthmobile.so, set permissions and install Googleearth.apk provided inside the zip. Google ears.apk contained in system/app dir inside the zip is for voice activated play store search and does not concern Google earth.
Presence of Google ears.apk breaks google talk and it FCs every time.

After going in to settings I see :
1) Under Databases it just shows Default? Are there supposed to be more databases available for choosing?
2) When Maps Engine is clicked, just the header Maps Engine is shown but nothing below that - is this correct?
3) Main issue is I don't see the "Look Around" icon to Pan & scan my view - how to resolve this?

bug: when i try to choose a file for an app using simple explorer, it does not send the file link to the app. instead it will try to open the file as it does when opening the file directly via simple explorer. e.g. when selecting a zip file for zipinstaller, simple explorer gives the option to extract it. or when choosing a keepass database for keepassdroid simple explorer brings up the app picker.

Thanks for the bug fixes but it looks like I was a little misunderstood with the first bug I posted. Install this version of Zipinstaller:
http://goo.im/devs/beerbong/apps/ZipInstaller/ZipInstaller-3.3.7.apk
It's an app that installs zips through recovery. When opened select the "Add zip/sh to list" option.
Select Simple Explorer if u have another file explorer installed. Then try to select a zip file. It doesn't send the file link to Zipinstaller. It works with OI File Manager from the play store.

Other apps that use this feature like Zipinstaller.

Keepass2Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=keepass2android.keepass2android
Cryptonite
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=csh.cryptonite
Also you should add an "About" opition where you have your "App Manager" & "Settings" options after pressing the 3 dot menu button. That when pressed it will show your name, version number, a link to this thread and a link to the source.
I wish i could code java now to help out more planning to learn it in the future.

Thanks dude for this..
I was stuck with a ASOP rom with no file manager and as the touch screen has a large chunk not working I have wiped the internals of it and sending it off for repair. but as its a 3rd party repair shop here in China there is no way i was going to send it out with my Google account details in it..
So since yours is at the top of the list and is a direct download..
I thank you very much..

Get forward DELETE on Asus keyboard

Just thought I'd share this because the inability to forward delete has been bugging me forever!
All credit go to @IPDunwell - thanks man!
You can easily remap the LOCK key to be your forward delete.
Obviously you need root for this and mount system as writable.
Go to /system/usr/keylayout/asusdec.kl
Make a backup copy, open it in a text editor and look for line 142
Replace "SLEEP" with "FORWARD_DEL"
Save the file, reboot
Hallelujah!

Shift + Backspace never worked for me... Not in Tapatalk, not in proOffice Suite, neither in the stock rowser I am using right now to write this...
That's why I was so thrilled to find this. :good:

Looking for assistance
I have copied and then modified the copied file and saved but when I try to replace the file in the keylayout folder ES Text Editor won't replace the file. I have also tried to edit the asusdec.kl file while still in the keylayout folder but ES Text Editor won't save it. Do I need to change the permissions of that folder? If so how?

You have to mount system as writeable so that you can make changes to system files.
To tell you the truth: I hate ES File Explorer. Never liked the UI and I wasted the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how you do it in ES, but it won't let me change permissions on files and folders although it has root rights. :banghead:
Download File Manager HD, go to settings, check: mount system folder. That's how easy it can be....

Just found it
[You have to long press Root explorer to get the option to mount system files as RW.
Thanks Ken

After editing the asusdec.kl file line 142 from SLEEP to FORWARD_DEL the lock key did not function at all. After changing back to SLEEP it acted like a lock key again. Am I using the correct syntax? Checked it with Polaris Office, stock and boat browser, thekey did not function at all.

Well, thanks for that! How intuitive.... My statement about ES still stands
Don't know what you did, it works fine for me. Just flashed CROMi-X 5.2.3 so I had to edit that file again, did it in ES and it works.
You replaced just the word SLEEP with FORWARD_DEL? Absolutely nothing else?
You saved the file and rebooted?

After editing and saving asusdec.kl the lock key no lnger functioned at all. I changed it bac to SLEEP and the key began acting as a lock key again. The syntax was FORWARD_DEL is this correct?

Seems the problem was with how I was testing.
Thanks Ken

Forgot to add this to 5.2.3 someone remind for the next release.
I might make a flashable zip when I get home to make it easy to install as the lock key is all but useless.

just "DEL" not "FORWARD_DEL"
On my TF700T the suggested change to "asusdec.kl" as "FORWARD_DEL" did not work for me. But I am running 4.3.1, actually Pacman---a CM 10.2 -AOKP hybrid.
I used "DEL" on the key 142 as suggested elsewhere on this forum....seems to work like the backspace key...
still looking

I doubt pacman understands the keyboard for Asus properly. You'll have to look for which layout file it is using but you may be out of luck. On Asus 4.3 is is called asuspec.kl

Thanks for replying! I thought I was on to something until further research revealed AOSP does not have some missing "driver" files for the hardware kb. Therefore some of the Asus
keyboard dock keys (top row, WLAN, BT toggle, etc will not work).

This post refers to the tf300 but its probably similar to the 700 in this respect.
Thanks for your lead, I will check it out!!!

After downloading the file, unzip it using a program such 7zip or Rar. Some file explorers like ES Explorer give you an option to long-press the file and choose the ''extract'' option.

No, you don't flash these. You copy them over to your system folder, after setting the appropriate write permissions via an app like ES Explorer.

Could you give us more detailed instructions?

You don't have to copy the files to your system folder in order for you to use the S5 ringtones, alarms, and notifications. Just like for any other ringtones or notification sound files, one can browse to those sound files from within an app (e.g. Phone App for CallerID).
But if you want to replace your existing S4 UI sounds, then you'll have to modify folder permissions.
Let's suppose you want to replace the startup sound, which is found at system -> media -> audio -> ui -> PowerOn.ogg.
If you try to copy over the S5 PowerOn.ogg file to directory, you'll get a failed operation. To copy over it, you first have to use a root file explorer like Root Browser.
From within Root Browser, you long-press the system folder & change permissions so that it reads as: 0777 (rwx rwx rwx).
Now copy over the S5 PowerOn.ogg file into the ui directory. The file operation will now succeed.
Now reboot your phone for the change to take effect.
At reboot, you'll now hear the Galaxy S5 startup sound.

Much tks for these op!! I just swapped all mine out with these via root explorer and set permissions, rebooted..Haven't decided yet if I'm gonna grab the S5, thinking I'm gonna wait and see what's up with the next Nexi. Love my S4 though!!

I debated too whether to upgrade to the S5 but I decided to pass. The only 2 things I like more about the S5 over my S4 are the ISOCELL camera and IP67 rating, which isn't enough for me to upgrade for. Even the Snapdragon 801 is too minor for me as I have the Snapdragon 800 via my Nexus 5 and Note 3.
I'm gonna wait for either the S5 "Prime" or Galaxy S6.

[Sorry For Bump!]
Thanks for the files but I think I just ruined my phone.
I replaced the Effect_tick.ogg and now the sound isn't playing. What should I do to restore the sound back other than factory reset?

Did you see if permissions are correct? rw-r-r and still no sound on reboot? You could always extract the rom you are on and push the Effect_tick.ogg make sure permissions are rw-r-r, reboot and should work normal again

Hmm I already flashed my phone to a stock rom. So everything is back to normal. Thnx for reply anyways

Changing Permissions
When I long press on any of the folders/files it bring up a little check box on each file and the option to select each or all items. Along the bottom of the screen I then have: copy, cut, delete, rename and more... in the more menu I can look at properties and see if the file's Readable, Writable, or Hidden but I have no ability to change this or the permissions on any of the files. can someone tell me why I can't edit permissions?
I'm using ES File Explorer v. 3.2.1.2

Open ES back up and hit your menu key then tap Tools and turn on Root Explorer grant super user permission and you'll be good to go
