What files do you have exactly? framework-res.apk? Phonebook.apk? Phone.apk
This thread as given above is taken that you have ADB installed on your computer.

Not sure if ADB is required but thats the only method I know of. A step by step guide (Might want to double check with advanced users)
1) Install ADB and set the environment variables, etc.
2) Go to the folder (Should be c:/android-sdk-windows/tools) and open adb.exe (If it flashes and auto closes, open up cmd [Start>Run>cmd] and drag the adb.exe into the cmd and press enter)
3) Put Phone In Debugging Mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
In ADB, type these commands
*Note that the commands are case sensitive*
Pull the files you are about to replace with the following commands:
cd c:/anrdroid-sdk-windows/tools
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-resk.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
4) Now framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk should be in your tools folder where your adb.exe is. Put these files somewhere safe.
5) Now drag your new framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk into the tools folder.
6) Go back to adb and type the following command:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
7) Now these commands will move your new theme files to the sdcard:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push Phonebook.apk /sdcard/Phonebook.apk
adb push Phone.apk /sdcard/Phone.apk
8) Now these commands will install the new theme files in the sd card from the previous step:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phonebook.apk of=/system/app/Phonebook.apk
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phone.apk of=/system/app/Phone.apk
9) Now your phone will restart (If not, manually restart) and your theme should be installed.

why every time i put the mount command it tells me "the device not found"
and the pull commands don't seems to work
i tried adb devices command but it seems it doesnt found my device

Mmm...maybe its sound dumb, but I'm a noob in this. How do you change the battery icon? Thx

You pull the framework-res.apk file and open it with 7-zip. Inside should be some folders and there should be a folder (forgot which one) with a bunch of pngs. Replace the battery icons with desired ones.

Deodexing I9001

The guide for deodexing SGSII (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113937) works also for SGS+ (rooted of course).
I used xUltimate version v.2.3.1 for successful deodexing of rooted I9001XXKP4 ROM.

Hello
I only know deodexing merge *.apk and *.odex files.. What will i get if i deodex my rom ? Run faster ?

Deodexing actually makes the ROM a bit slower (at least on the first boot). The main advantage is that it makes customization (themes, icons etc.) easier.
The UOT Kitchen claims to support also odexed stock ROMs (and now also TouchWiz ROMs), has anyone tried it with SGS+? (worked fine with my deoxeded ROM).

The phone is connected to PC in mass storage mode? You should see (at least in Windows) internal SD mounted as normal removable disk and then you can just copy & paste those folders from your PC.
If you're satisfied with UOT Kitchen possibilities and have no plans for other customization then you don't gain much by deodexing.

Okey, thanks, but when I write "adb shell" in cmd it returns
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Locate your adb.exe (you did install Android SDK didn't you) and add it to your PATH (or execute <install dir>\abd.exe).

When you enter the 'su' command first time via adb shell, you have to check the phone screen - the Superuser app is requesting permission for the command (and you'll have to grant it of course to continue).

i tried to deodex my device
but somehow i stuck on the last step
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# stop
# mount -o remount rw /system
# rm /system/app/*.odex
# rm /system/framework/*.odex
# cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
# cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
# mount -o remount ro /system
# reboot
when i try to enter " cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/ "
a message shows up: cp: not found
well after that my phone starts into a bootloop
any suggestions how to solve this cp: not found ??

Maybe you have installed it in a way that no symbolic links to commands have not been created? Does "/system/xbin/busybox cp" work?

i installed it like 10 min ago
and this " /system/xbin/busybox cp " works
tomorrow i try it again to deodex my device
edit:
thanks not it worked

[Q] How to deodex my phone?

Hi guys,
i got one question to ask - how to deodex my phone?
I used xUltimate and deodexed the apps but the commands to coppy it to the phone seems not to work at all.
So how to copy done_app and done_framework to phone? I tried to use cmd in windows and adb shell but it says that cd command is not valid.

Deodex
Advantages or disadvantages
- Odexed ROMs are slightly faster, deodexed ROMs are slightly slower
+ You can make custom themes for your ROM
+ Performance los is negligible.
Requirements:
Download XUltimate
Busybox installed
Root
1. Connect phone to computer
2. Start xUltimate, we will now get the required files from our phone to deodex and zipalign it which we will describe in the 3rd step.
3. On the main menu of xUltimate, choose option 5 (Pull and deodex all). Everything will be done for you here. Don't worry. You will see all your finished files in the folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' which are located in the installation directory of xUltimate.
4. move folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' folders to your sdcard, you can find these folders in the directory of xUltimate as described in the previous step.
5. Make sure the sdcard is not mounted to pc anymore
6. Open Windows Command Prompt and type the following commands.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl12 /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
chmod 644 /system/app/*
chmod 644 /system/framework/*
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl12 /system
sync
reboot recovery
7. Now data and cache reset in the recovery menu...
8. reboot
If one of the commands, for example 'cp' is not found, try putting busybox in front of the command:
eg: busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

both ways don't work. The program seems not to recognize this commands. Can i do it via root explorer?

Explain me the exact scenario.
This given method should work by all means. There is no escape.
Check the USB drivers.
Check the connectivity.
Then do it again.

drivers must be right 2 days ago i've flashed the phone. maybe it's adb, i copied it from one click folder.
i will copy the text from cmd as soon as i will be home.
btw, the process is ok till 6th point of the instruction. then it fails at cp command (busybox cp also).

[Emulator][Root] BlueStacks 0.7.7.813

I'm here give full guide for what I was learned from merrickville, codelover, and rocketero so all credits go to all of them either by direct guide and correction or by understanding their modified files. (is it OK codelover :good
To whom who don't know BlueStacks (as me before a week), it's emulated android system to works under windows system. for more info go to company page
A- REMOVE BLUESTACKS
Good tool from "Microsoft Fix it to install/uninstall Programs" thanx Ba7rani123
1- Run command (Win Key + R) -> "%programfiles%\BlueStacks\HD-Quit.exe" (WinX86) "%programfiles(x86)%\BlueStacks\HD-Quit.exe" (WinX64)
2- Open "task manager" by run command "taskmgr" -> "Processes" tab -> "HD-LogRotatorService.exe" -> right click -> "End Process Tree"
3- Open "programs and features" by run command "appwiz.cpl" -> uninstall "BlueStacks App Player" & "Notifications Center"
4- Delete all BS folders
"%userprofile%\AppData\Local\BlueStacksSetup"
"%programfiles%\BlueStacks" (WinX86), "%programfiles(x86)%\BlueStacks" (WinX64),
"%programdata%\BlueStacks"
"%programdata%\BlueStacksSetup"
Setup from Desktop
"%windir%\Installer" -> "View" -> "Details" -> right click on column header (i.e "Name", "Date Modified", "Type") -> "Authors" -> click over column header of "Authors" to sort files according authors -> search for "BlueStacks" and delete.
Note: "%ProgramData%\BlueStacks\Logs\Hypervisor.log" will persist to delete, we will delete it later after restart
5- Download RegScanner v1.95
Install -> open it -> Registry Scan Options (it will open automatic) -> select all keys in option Scan the following base key -> write on Find String "BlueStacks" -> wait till search finish -> select all and delete -> Resisted keys can be deleted manually by open in Regedit (F8)
I can't support this application because I have Windows 7 Manager, with perfect Registry Tools 1.1, it backup & delete all keys automatic
6- Repeat step (5) by searching for "Notification Center"
7- Reboot your devive now.
8- Now you can remove %ProgramData%\BlueStacks\Logs\Hypervisor.log

B- ROOTING BLUESTACKS
B-I- FIRST ROOTING METHOD (Ready made rooted /system)
Download rooted "Root.fs" and modified "initrd.img" for BlueStacks 0.7.7.813:
1- Download "BlueStacks-ThinInstaller_0.7.7.813.exe", "Root_Mod.rar" and "initrd_Mod.rar" from HERE
2- Setup BlueStacks 0.7.7.813 by file "BlueStacks-ThinInstaller_0.7.7.813.exe"
3- After setup finish installing, and BS open, close it (even before click "Got it") then run command (Win key + R) "%ProgramFiles%\BlueStacks\HD-Quit.exe" (WinX86), "%programfiles(x86)%\BlueStacks\HD-Quit.exe" (WinX64).
4- Extract "Root_Mod.rar" and "initrd.rar" into same folder "%programdata%\BlueStacks\Android" (P.S no need to make backup because it's already packed in zip file on "%programdata%\BlueStacksSetup\[xxxxxxxx].zip"
5- Open run command "%programfiles%\BlueStacks\HD-StartLauncher.exe" (WinX86), "%programfiles(x86)%\BlueStacks\HD-StartLauncher.exe" (WinX64)
Now your BlueStacks have root permission (Thanks CodeLover) and google apps (already supported).
OR
Download rocketero's rooted Root.fs & initrd.img from the 3rd post , thanks rocketero

Click to collapse
B-II- SECOND ROOTING METHOD (Custom made rooted /system)
Rooting your "Root.fs" by your self, this method allow you root any versions of BlueStacks. it need to download "Portable Ubuntu Remix", [INFO: it's a portable Linux Ubuntu 10.4 LTS emulator that works under windows environment. for more information see PROJECT.
1- Download "Portable Ubuntu Remix" from HERE
2- Download "BlueStacks" from HERE
3- Run "Portable Ubuntu Remix" and change the path to "%programfiles%\" (WinX86) "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\" (WinX64)
4- Setup "BlueStacks" until it open -> close it.
5- Open run command (win key + R) "%ProgramFiles%\BlueStacks\HD-Quit.exe" (WinX86), "%programfiles(x86)%\BlueStacks\HD-Quit.exe" (WinX64).
6- Make RAR backup of your original "%programdata%\BlueStacks\Android\Data.sparsefs" in case of any errors may happen later.
7- Follow steps of F- MOD LATEST "SUPERUSER.APK", EXTRACTED "SU" BINARY, BUSYBOX FILES .
8- Follow steps of H- EDITING INITRD.IMG and place it in "%ProgramData%\BlueStacks\Android" (P.S: don't worry about original "initrd.img" because it is packed in zip file @ "%ProgramData%\BlueStacksSetup\[xxxxxxx].zip".
9- Open run command "%programfiles%\Portable_Ubuntu_V4_slim2\pubuntu.exe" (WinX86), "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Portable_Ubuntu_V4_slim2\pubuntu.exe" (WinX64) and wait till it fully loaded (i.e top toolbar).
10- From the top toolbar select Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal.
11- Write the following commands (P.S: # means a note for you, it's not a command):
Code:
# Take a root permission
sudo su
# It will ask you for a root password: 123456
# Create a working folders
mkdir /b
mkdir /b/root
mkdir /b/system_sfs
mkdir /b/system_img

# Extract system.img to /b folder
cp /b/system_sfs/system.img /b/root/android
# Resize system.img
e2fsck -f -y /b/root/android/system.img
resize2fs -f /b/root/android/system.img 480M
# Unmount system_sfs and delete it (make sure the command not unmount)
umount /b/system_sfs
rm /b/root/android/system.sfs
rmdir /b/system_sfs
# Mount system.img into system_img
mount -o loop /b/root/android/system.img /b/system_img
# Copy MOD "Superuser" & extracted "su" binary, busybox files (which you already did in step 7)
cp "/media/cofs2/pubuntu/Superuser.apk" /b/system_img/app
cp "/media/cofs2/pubuntu/su" /b/system_img/bin
cp "/media/cofs2/pubuntu/su" /b/system_img/xbin
cp "/media/cofs2/pubuntu/busybox" /b/system_img/xbin
chmod 6755 /b/system_img/bin/su

4- Open 7-zip -> Tools -> Options -> Editor -> put the path of installed "NotePad++" ["%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"]
5- Extract "initrd.img" via 7-zip -> open extracted file "initrd" via 7-zip -> right click "initrd" -> Edit
6- Search for:
Code:
[B]try_mount [COLOR="red"]ro[/COLOR] "$device /mnt || continue[/B]
(It should be after "for device in /dev/sr* /dev/sd.....")
and replaced with
[B]"try_mount [COLOR="red"]rw[/COLOR] $device /mnt || continue[/B]
7- Close it and save the file -> accept replacing of the file -> close 7-zip
8- Open "initrd.img" via 7-zip and replace "initrd"
9- Now you have your edited initrd.img -> copy back to "%programdata%\BlueStacks\Android"

"E=mohazia;33618109]I'm here give full guide for what I was learned from mammadkhata and merrickville so all credits go to both of them.

I have a Root.fs rooted (& Initrd.img Edited) with system.img (/system partition) resized to 500MB that is working fine with BS07.7.813.
you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdf35z9cupl5xnb/Root-fs_and_Initrd-img-bs077813.rar
it's MD5(sum) is: FFA77658EF35AACDDA06B379CBF52CB8
it contains Root.fs and Initrd.img, this still can follow your method # 1 to root BS 077813.
A few notes:
- system partition resized to 500MB
- su version 3.2 x86-RC3-signed was added not only to /system/xbin but also to /system/bin as well as busybox to keep a fallback when updating the su binary.
- binary /system/bin/ls was symlinked to busybox instead of toolbox to get nice color file listings in a terminal
- superuser4BS.apk (moded by @codelover) was added to /system/app"

Does your first method contain a Root.fs with /system resized to let's say 300MB or more?

Your link was added, thanx

it's not exactly that you need 500M on /system partition, as the size will just increase as you add files to /system, if you don't add any files the partition will stay the size it was originally, it works as the sparcefs file sistem does, it will show only what you have added from the total. Let's say you have grown the /system parttition to 300MB, that's what it will show when you do a 'df -h /system' command.

aha, thanks.
The image u just share didn't had google account, right.
I had now data.fs and sdcard.fs, which I extracted from BS 0.7.2... and already integrated into my BS 0.7.7.813, the advantages of .fs that I can resize it very easy. Do u advice me to share it?
actually, rooting and make some customization, was attractive, now joy was solved, it's boring
I can't even play where's my water? on BS, is for me only or with all?

I do have a sdcard.fs of 8GB working with v0.7.7.813, but even that I have not much in it the size would be huge to share it which makes it almost impossible to upload to any file-sharing site like dropox or box.net. I saw in an old post a shared sdcard 2GB in size but that's the default size when installing BS older than 0.7.3.x I believe. The Data.fs it has been always 2GB in size.
The good thing from updating BS from older versions to the new ones is that it will carry out the old Data.fs and Sdcard.fs and it will incorporate them into Data.sparsefs and SDcard.sparcefs
About the apps/games that run in BS it's just trial an error, sometimes very disappointing that it doesn't run the one's preferred apps.

It says that "Blue stack player app download in progress" and says its "already installed", error. idk what happens

You'll get more responses if you post on the official BS thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33701742#post33701742

Code:
11- Open Superuser -> Settings -> Automatic Response -> Allow
Now your BlueStacks have root permission and google apps.
you mean that now i don't need anymore google play store because the Google apps are integrated in my bluestacks market?
thanks

no what I actually meant is that ur system now have google permission, you can now install google play and it will works.
OK, when I did this guide, I did not differentiate between apps that set on /system/app and /data/app.
I will attach google play now to installed as com.nosh*.apk, just download it and double click to install

UOT Kitchen

i want to make a theme for my stock 2.3.6 DDKT3 thru UOT kitchen
will i be able to flash it thru stock recovery or i have to have CWM?

you will have to manually replace the apks in the output zip file you get from uot kitchen
I don't think stock recovery will work

go to recovery connect your phone to computer mount /system and with adb push command, push previous framework-res.apk in /system/framwork/ and using adb shell set permissions to 0644

yep adb best way
adb rocks :thumbup::

as you don't have CWM i think it's the only way! so here is step by step instruction:
1- copy your old (And healthy) framework-res.apk and adb files(two files that i attached to this post extract zip file ) in root of your C drive.
2- open command prompt program on your windows.
3- power on your phone and connect it to PC(make sure you already installed Gfit Drivers)
4- in command prompt type this commands:
Code:
cd c:
cd /
adb shell
wait to see # in command Prompt and type this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
exit
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell
chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot
if you have disabled USB Debuging all of this things are useless

by old framework-res.apk do u mean the modified one?
if no where shall i keep the modified one?
and do u know any similar method to enable crt off animation?
thnx a lot man

i mean stock framework of your rom.
if you want modified framework you can try this:
1- copy adb files(two files that i attached to this post extract zip file ) in root of your C drive.
2- open command prompt program on your windows.
3- power on your phone and connect it to PC(make sure you already installed Gfit Drivers)
4- in command prompt type this commands:
Code:
cd c:
cd /
adb shell
wait to see # in command Prompt and type this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system
chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
reboot
see if it works or not.

i didnt get u
where shall i place the modified framework?
and can i use rajrocks' ics theme on my stock DDKT3 rom?

i don't know about rajrocks' ics theme .
but if you allready installed your modified framework just do what i said in second post. and if you don't know you have installed it or not , place modified framework on root of C: Hard drive in your PC and do what i said in my first post

and what about the systemUI.apk?

When i try opening adb through cmd i get an error saying AdbWinApi.dll is missing

oh sorry i foget about that
i attached that file to this post.
about systemUI.apk just replace it like framework... just change adresses...
and always keep orginal file just in case! maybe you did something wrong and end in bootloop

yeah thnx
and u have any idea of how to enable crt off animation?
thnx man
