i plan on uplading one tonight

Great looking, I'll try it out later. I was looking through the TOOLS folder and noticed the older PagePool app was still used... You might want to update the kitchen to this one so everything is newer

I think the problem is that you don't have .net framework installed, try installing the latest version then reboot, then try again

[HOW TO] Create custom hboot-flashable SPLASH1 images

This is a quick tutorial on creating your own custom splash1 image along with a flashable hboot package.
**Remember, in order to flash custom splash1 screens via hboot, you must have s-off via unrevoked forever.
***I take no responsibility for any damage you cause by performing any of these steps. They are for educational purposes only.
Before:

"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"
}
After:
Tools You Need:
Image Manipulation Tool (Photoshop, Gimp, MSPaint, anything that can save bmp files really.
NBIMG command-line splash<-->image converter tool [Windows Download] or [Linux Download] (Original Dev Thread)
Zipping tool (7zip, winzip, anything that can put files in a .zip)
This file (android-info.txt)
How-To:
Download and extract the files linked above and place them somewhere familiar to you.
In your image creation/manipulation tool, create a new image. Set the image size to 480x800. (If you already have an image in mind, open that and resize it)
Create/modify/customize the image however you like.
Save the image as splash1.bmp file. Ensure that you are saving the file as a 24bit RGB color bitmap. To make things easy, save the image in the same folder where you extracted the nbimg tool.
Open a command or terminal window and CD to your nbimg folder.
Type in the following command: nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800
If successful, nbimg should have created an nb file called 'splash1.bmp.nb'.
Rename 'splash1.bmp.nb' to 'splash1.img'.
Take your newly created splash1.img file and the 'android-info.txt' that you downloaded earlier, and place it in a new ZIP file called 'PB31IMG.zip'.
Place your newly created PB31IMG.zip on the root of your SD card, and reboot to hboot. (adb reboot oem-42)
If everything went smoothly, you should be prompted to install your custom splash1.
Enjoy!
PS: Here is the STOCK splash1, if you feel the need to revert back.

Thanks for posting this today! Exactly what I was hoping for.

Thank you for this, I tried to find this and found many alternatives but all were unsuccessful.

The app crashed for me on XP and Win7. The original thread states we have to have the -D switch which is the device id. Is this true? If so, what is the incredibles id?
Code:
NBH arguments: (only when converting from BMP to NBH)
-D <model_id> Generate NBH with specified Model ID (mandatory)
-S <chunksize> NBH SignMaxChunkSize (64 or 1024)
-T <type> NBH header type, this is typically 0x600 or 0x601

No you do not need that. I created at least a dozen splash1's before posting this how-to. Never had to enter any switches, with the exception of -w -h.

nbimg keeps crashing on me .. Win7 and also in XP Mode I will try on my laptop and see if it works there.
Photoshop CS5 wouldn't make my file 256 color so I saved it in 16bit mode then took it into paint and saved it as 256 color. Not sure if this is what is causing the problems or not.
Can this have images or just text maybe thats my problem.
Edit: same on my laptop Win7 and in XP mode on that too, I tried it with the -F switch and left off the -w and -h switches and had the same problem.
here is a link to my image

No man i think hes on to something. I had the same problem. opened up command, pasted the exact command, pressed enter. The program began, things were working, and then a small pop-up window comes up saying program not responding, then it waits, and then it says "Program stopped working" and gives you a button to close.

Do me a favor. Download the inverted unrevoked splash1 I posted earlier. See if your OS will let you extract the image out of it. (Rename the .img to .nb and run the same argument you were using to create the splash1) See if you can do that.

For everyone having problems like I did
I just changed it from 256 bit bmg to 24 or 16 bit bmg....
Then the error didn't come up and zip the file and txt only and not in a folder like I did
I used ms paint and I have win7 ultimate and didn't do compatibility mode

[GUIDE] How to decompile an apk <updated w/ guide><updated with compiling>

[GUIDE] How to decompile an apk <updated w/ guide><updated with compiling>
How to decompile an .APK:​
Step 1:
Download >>This<< this is a tool for decompiling an .apk (i take no credit for this tool i did not make it i cant remember where i got it but the credit goes to the maker)
Step 2:
Now go to your C:\ directory create a new folder (doesnt matter what you name it) now extract the apk_manager to the folder that you created.
Step 3:
Download: >>This<< and also >>This<<
(whatever you are using 7zip or winrar, go into settings and integration and check the .BZ2 file extension)
Step 4:
Extract both files to the other folder in apk_manager
Step 5:
Plug your phone into your computer and pull framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from your /system/framework/ directory and place both files in the other folder
Step 6:
open up command prompt and enter
cd/
cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)
cd other
apktool if framework-res.apk
Step 7:
cd/
cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)
cd other
apktool if twframework-res.apk
Step 8:
now grab the apk that you want to decompile and place it in the place-apk-here-for-modding folder
Step 9:
open script now enter 22 into command press enter, press corresponding number for your apk for ex. 1 then press enter, now press 9 then enter... APK should now be decompiling (decompiled apk should be in the projects folder)
[size=+2]Compiling[/size]
You do nearly the same thing for compiling an apk press 22 and enter to select what project you want to do, then 11; your apk should be compiled
Let me know if anyone has any problems with this

I like how you were excited enough to post about making a post later.

Lol I was going to do it then but I got sidetracked...

ok....updated post w/ the guide

Going to try this method...
I did my framework-res.apk last night, font color changed for the pop-up windows. seemed to work fine, but then once it booted, i noticed that my volume bar was showing the loading spinner instead of the slider (whoops) and I was unable to get to the volume controls due to FC'ing.

Lol lmao,hope this works for you
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

alos note you will have to delete the resourace arsc out of the apk u decompled and let the apk tool recompile a new one.. espcaly so if using a apk from a diffrent phone

Yeah I replaced the res directory, the manifest and the resources file with the one that apk tool compiled... I hadn't seen this post until I had already tried another method... Wife sprained her ankle so I won't have the time to try it for a couple of days.
Can I add a color to the colors.xml file the point to it in the styles.xml item?

how do I get the xml to stick when changing colors.xml in the value folder? When you get to the step to delete from the "keep" folder the value folders aren't there, they are hidden.

Could you point me in any direction how to get rid of this error?
Like I said everything seems to decompile correctly but still I don't like errors
EDIT:
In the end I downloaded apktool by itself and it ran without any errors. Don't know what happened there..

when trying to preform step 6 i get the msg " 'java' not recognized as and internal or external command operable program or batch file."
read on a post in a diff forum that java2sdk was needed so i installed this and still getting the same command error...
what am i doing wrong?

Can this be used to translate system menus?

I use apk multi tool, myself, but whichever tool you use just be sure to have the latest adb and Java sdk installed.

You realize, Java has to be in your path. Also, you should also install twframework.
Apktool if ~pathtotwframework-res.apk
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I use apktool. It works on all platforms and it it uses a later bug free version. Apk manager is a big batch file that uses an old extremely buggy edition of apktool Yes all decompile tools are based on smali, baksmali, and apktool. In fact apktool requires Smali and baksmali to decompile classes.dex and odex files.
The steps to use apktool are.
1. Download apktool(Google it)
2. palace it in an apktool folder on your desktop or somewhere.
3. Download any thing else on the website.for your OS.
4. Unzip everything and add them to your folder. Add the folder to your path or CD to it every time
5. Run terminal or CMD
6.TYPE
apktool if (path to framework Res.apk)
Apktool if (path to twframework Res.apk)
(Now you never will have to worry about dependencies unless you have a new from)
Apktool d apkorjarfile output folder
(Example....
.. apktool d /users/airfluip/desktop/Settings.apk /users/airfluip/desktop/decompiledsettings )
Now it shows progress. It may take some time.
If you get PNG errors, it will still decompile, but copy the original drawable-hdpi folder Into the decompiled one after decompile
Next make changes
Next
Apktool b /foldertodecompiled.
You should have the apk in the "apk" folder in the decompile folder

This is a problem with your system and java not getting along. ensure you have the latest edition of java installed. If so uninstall it and get a fresh download from the java Website
If the problem persists...um ahhhhh back up your important data and do a system restore? or ask someone else I'm not an i.t. Expert but a fresh start is always nice....

[GUIDE] Activate the rotation of the lockscreen

Hello,
I searched a lot how to enable the rotation of the lockscreen without third-party application, and I finally found.
I share this change with you.
This operation works with all phones that work with GG / ICS (I have not tested on Cupcake / Donut. / Froyo / Honeycomb).
This tutorial seems very long, but this is explained in great detail for better understanding and to be accessible to all.
First and foremost: I am not responsible if you break, or if others problems occur on your phone. You and only you are responsible. Thank you
You must be root to apply the changes. Here's what happens on my Nexus S:
{
"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"
}
For this we will use apktool which will allow us to uncompil the framework-res.apk of your ROM and adb to replace the original framework.
Note: I see throughout this tutorial as well as adb and java (to run apktool) are already installed on your computer and the drivers too of your phone to work with adb.
Due to a bug in the framework of apktool ICS we are obliged to decompile the framework-res.apk with apktool 4.2 and recompile with apktool 4.3.
Download: apktool 4.2
Download: apktool 4.3
Note: Download in the same folder as adb, it's will simplify the task later.
In our case, we will consider that our working folder is: C:\android_debug
I recommend doing the same to be simpler.
apktool and adb only work with the command prompt, so it must be run.
To do this:
Windows XP: Start -> Run -> cmd.exe
Windows Vista / Seven: -> Start -> in the search bar type cmd.exe and press Enter
This window is displayed (a few lines of text can change, as the first of which is that your version of Windows):
We see that the command prompt is placed directly into your default user folder (here C:\Users\Thomas), so you have to stand in our working folder:
cd c:\android_debug
We will have to decompile framework-res.apk, if you have the rom zip place it in the same directory, otherwise it must be extracted from your phone.
Connect your phone to your computer and then, still in the command prompt (cmd) write:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Note: if say toyou it can not find adb ... it's either you have him not placed in C:\android_debug where or that you should write its extension: adb.exe
The command will be this: adb.exe pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Will be the same for the rest of the tutorial, write adb.exe rather than adb.
The framework-res.apk is now in your working folder.
We will "install" the framework-res.apk to let apktool use it then:
java -jar apktool43.jar if framework-res.apk
There will now be extracted with apktool 4.2
java -jar apktool42.jar d framework-res.apk
If all goes well you usually this:
We must update the necessary files to activate rotation on the lockscreen.
Go to the following folder: C:\android_debug\framework-res\res\values ​​and open this file with your favorite files editor: bools.xml
Search config_enableLockScreenRotation value and change the false to true:
Save and close the file.
All changes are made, we will be able to recompile the framework
So back to the command prompt (yes the window of the 1970s )
Type this to run compiling the new framework-res.apk:
java -jar apktool43.jar b framework-res framework-res-new.zip
If all goes well the last message from the command prompt is this:
If you get errors like these:
Nothing serious! apktool just tells you it can not find default translations of some words, but he found in French / Or else.
Note: If you have other errors and framework-res-new.zip is not created is that you made a editing error or that you have the wrong version of apktool.
Now, everything is well and the framework-res-new.zip is created in your working directory (which I recall is C:\android_debug)
The purpose of the step is to replace the file resources.asrc in the original framework-res.apk by the new one placed in framework-res-new.zip
You should open it with your management software zip archives (WinRar here) and then extract the file resources.arsc:
Once the extracted file you can close the archive.
You must rename the file framework-res.apk in framework-res.apk.zip:
When this file is renamed you must open it with your management software archive and then delete the file ressources.arsc:
Leave open the archive and return to your working folder. You must drag the file resources.arsc previously extracted from the archive:
Commit the changes in your management software archive. Rename the file framework-res.apk.zip in framework-res.apk
So we are almost done, this last step is to replace the framework-res.apk in your phone. We will use adb, so back to the command prompt in order to type this:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell reboot
Explanations:
adb remount: allows you to have root privileges on the phone
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk: sends the new framework-res.apk on the phone and replaces the existing one
adb shell reboot: reboot the phone
I hope this tutorial is clear enough and that helped you
For any spelling mistakes thank you for let me know by PM (I'm a french teenager).

Getting error at compile
Hi,
i was following your guide for the ICSSGS 4.2 ROM. when compiling i got a load of errors like:
Exeption in thread "main" brut.Androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutExeption.........
Have you had any experience with this kind of error and do you know how to fix it?
thanks!

Hi,
Have you uncompiled the framework-res.apk with apktool42 ? Then re-compiled with apktool43? Your rom is deodex?

maybe he recompile "apktool d framework-res.apk",instead of framework-res..

I have not got the line "enable lock screen rotation"
I have" bool name="lockscreen_isPortrait">true</bool>"
and changed it to false
EDIT: It didnt' work

Running an HTC Explorer gingerbread 2.3.5

Thanks for your replies, I will try again tonight and let you know if it works. i did in fact recompile to the framework-res.apk . maybe thats the problem.
EDIT: thanks for the tips guys, the problem was the .apk extension when recompiling!

I am very thankful for this. I've wanted this for a long time since my phone is docked horizontal all the time. I even tried reinstalling widget locker to do this, but just never like any of the non stock lock screens as much.
Tip: when doing build to new file named framework-res-new.zip like in instructions, instead build to same file name framework-res.zip
Also need to have aapt.exe in the folder as apktool.
Otherwise I would always get errors otherwise using apktool.

Hello,
It doesn't work on my sgs2 ICS 4.0.3 XWLPG deodex with the Jkay mod.
Edit : I have also tried to modify the line "lockscreen_isPortrait" = true
Still not work

Works very nice with Defy+ and Quarx JB-Rom!
But I have an additional question: Could the notifications while lockscreen be disabled this way too?

great tut
can you tell any way to enable hold back to kill forground app option

Files can't be deleted any more

Hi,
I hope it is o.k. to post this question in the Xoom forum!?
In the download folder of my Motorola Xoom there are several files that I can't delete any more.
These files are pdf- and/or mp3-files that originally had a German umlaut in their file name. By copying/pasting these files into the download directory, they were somehow damaged. Now, the filenames are showing some strange characters and the file sizes are 0 kB.
As soon as I try to delete one of those files, my Xoom shows a message, that the file can't be deleted.
I already tried out to use several different file explorers which didn't work.
Unfortunately, even "MyPhoneExplorer" can't delete the files by connecting the Xoom to the PC. There, the files don't show up.
Renaming of the files doesn't work either and overwriting the files using a new file with the same name also doesn't work.
Can somebody of you help me with this problem?
How can I get rid of these 0kB files?
Thanks a lot!

Its perfectly OK to ask questions, no problem this is to be a source of information. It should however be in the Q&A section. That said
You can try to delete the file using "android terminal emulator" app
In there enter the following command substituting the file name for whatever u r trying to delete
Code:
rm /sdcard/yourfilename.whatever
If that does not work and u r rooted you can try the same command after have superuser permission. Do this
Open terminal and enter
Code:
su
Press enter after that and allow superuser, then enter the same command above.
Attached is a screen shot of what it should look like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Thanks for your idea! ...unfortunately it doesn't work
Problem seems to be the filename. It was corrupted while unpacking files from a packed archive. The original filename contained several so called"umlaute" (German special characters) which the system on the Xoom obviously can't handle correctly. These "umlaute" characters were replaced by some other curious characters during extraction.
Example: "11. ڵoԠ(ڢer-unter-ober-Գterreicher).mp3" is the filename after unpacking the file. Before, it was " 11. Üuoö (Über-unter-ober-österreicher).mp3"
As soon as I try to remove the file, a message appears, telling me that there is no such file. At the same time, the terminal shows the corrupted filename, but suppressing the corrupted characters.
No chance to delete :crying:
I hope, I could explain it so that you can understand what happens (or what doesn't happen). Any further ideas?
Thanks a lot!
PS: corrupted files are not only mp3 but also some pdf and doc files. All of them show up with a size of 0Byte on the Xoom, while the original file size is shown as soon as I connect the Xoom to my PC using MyPhoneExplorer (which, btw, also isn't able to delete)

Are the files located in a directory by them selves? If so u can try to remove the directory itself

Some of them are, others not. It makes no difference. If I try to delete an entire directory, containing one of those corrupted files, the whole directory can't be deleted. Anyway, "normal" files (uncorrupted) in the relevant directory can be removed individually... except those 0-Byte-files

No more ideas? ....anyone?
I can't believe, that it should really be impossible to delete corrupted files

Are u rooted? I just had the same problem. Simple boot into twrp and delete thru the built in file manager

Yes, I am rooted. but I have CWM on my Xoom. I found the thread about TWRP in the Nexus section. will it also work for the Motorola Xoom?
Can I install it instead of CWM without loosing all my apps and data?
Thanks!

when using the terminal rm command you need to escape special characters ( i.e spaces, parenthese etc ) with a backslash or put the file name in quotes. so you file name in question can be removed by
Code:
rm 11.\ Üuoö\ \(Über-unter-ober-österreicher\).mp3
or
Code:
rm "11. Üuoö (Über-unter-ober-österreicher).mp3"
you can also do wildcard deletion based on fragements of the file name i.e
Code:
rm 11*.mp3
will delete all files that start with 11 with the mp3 externsion or you could start with a wildcard so a named example_file_name.txt can be deleted using
Code:
rm *file*.txt
obviously that will delete ALL files that have the word file in the filename and an extension of .txt so BE CAREFUL WHEN USING WILDCARDS but you get the idea ( hopefully )
If that doesn't delete them then you've got problems.

A little tip, If you're not from the old school you won't know that it best to avoid spaces and special characters in filenames especially as your transferring between different filesystem types, obviously unicode characters are kinda inevitable if that's you native language but a demestorated here there's not 100% support for it, mostly due to westernized developers not taking into account internationalization!
TRIVIA: Early versions of MSDOS only allowed eight characters for a filename with a 3 characters extension. Imagine working with those constraints!

I had the same problem. The only solution is:
Install TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782235
Reboot in recovery. Explore the files and delete whatever you want..

Thanks, but it doesn't work. No matter if I use the backslash- or the paranthesis method, the emulator always tells me that it could not deleze as there is no such file or directory.

Finally, I gathered all my courage and installed TWRP over my old CWM Recovery without doing any backups
And...yes, it did the trick!!
I was able to delete all the corrupted files and folders and everything else is still in place :good:
Thanks for your good help!

Oups! :cyclops:
Thanks, that was really a good hint! Didn't know that and will do it at once after coming home this evening
Will it be difficult, to go back to CWM? ...just in case...
