[PC-APP] X10 Mod Tool - De/Recompile APK/JAR, Pull/Push files, Install/Remove Apps

I'm working on a tool that I hope will make life a little easier when modifying files on the X10. It uses ADB to pull and push files, so users don't need to remember long command prompt/terminal emulator commands anymore. It also has a nifty little application manager, which allows for quick installation, backup, and removal of both pre and self -installed software.

Instructions:
1. Extract archive.
2. Run X10ModTool.jar
Note: Make sure your phone is connected in debug mode, you have root privileges, and unsecured your device's shell.
For those of you who didn't use the backup feature before replacing files, here are the most common original framework files (android.policy.jar, framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and services.jar).
Please do NOT mirror my work!

nice work dude.Makes things a lot easier

Wow, lots of great stuff from you lately!
Thanks will have a look

Hmm.. Device connected in debug mode? Unsecured shell? Made sure ADB has had time to start?

Nice work man.
Now I know why you shifted to adb

thx for the tool MrRusch hopefully be easy to mod for now with adb

Glad you guys like it. There is only so much one can do with ADB, but let me know if there is something you think I should include.
Version 0.2 is up now, and I'm off to bed. Happy modding!

@ MrRusch
u r great!!!

This looks very good and useful.
One quick think that you could add is maybe a feature the unsecures the shell on startup of the program to save you doing it before, and resecures it when closed maybe??
Cheers

How can I push an apk with this???

Great program, however the "Refresh Directories" button does not seem to work.
I can add a directory with "manage directories", but when I refresh nothing happens.
When I exit the program and start it again, then the diretory is there.

Hehe yeah actually it just refreshs the files that are already in existing directories, e.g. if you add a file to the directory while the app is running. But I will make it reload the available directories as well Good catch.
EDIT: v0.2.1 includes this feature.

1. Select the APK locally, in your left-side list. (Psst! Click the grayed out location field to browse your hard drive)
2. In the list on your right, select where you want to push the APK to - e.g. /system/framework/.
3. Hit the Push button and wait for the process to complete.
PS. It's often useful to back up originals before you replace them with modified ones. Select the file(s) you want to back up in the list on your right, and hit the Pull button. This creates a backup folder in the application's directory.

Yeah, sorry it's my bad. I messed up in the UI change from v0.1 to v0.2.x. I've uploaded v0.3 now, and the issue should be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
EDIT: Well, at least I hope this was your problem. Not quite sure, judging by your last response - you dont even get a "Push completed!" message? In that case it might be something else, and I need more information to understand what is happening. E.e. what is the filename you are pushing, what is the directory name you are pushing to, do other functions such as Pull work, etc..?

Missing Autocomplete Dictionary

If you are like me, one of the first things you noticed when typing was the lack dictionary on the stock Android keyboard. Here's what worked for me. I grabbed the stock 2.2 keyboard file off my Intercept and put it on my Triumph. Works great. No clue why they didn't do this to begin with. The file is located "/system/app/LatinIME.apk". I backup up my old one to sd card and moved the intercept file in its place.
I attached the file. Obviously you modify your phone at your own risk and be sure to back up before making any changes. If you repost this elsewhere please give me some credit, huh? If you have trouble, double check the file permissions. A few people at Howardforums had to change it before it worked. Should be Owner: Read/Write, Group: Read, and All: Read.

Alternatively, if you don't want to root your phone there is "Keyboard from Android 2.3" by developer Steven Lin from the market. Works great, autocorrect and all.

You don't even need root for some of them, e.g. swype beta installs fine and also has a dictionary.

Thanks for the info!

I tried this but now my Android Keyboard won't show up at all. I set those permissions and everything, did a reboot too. All other keyboards work fine I just don't know why this one won't show. Any help?

The keyboard needs to be enabled from "Language/keyboard" section of the settings menu...HOWEVER...Enabling that keyboard pops up a message that says:
"ATTENTION - This input method may be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers. It comes from the application Gingerbread keyboard. Use this input method?"
Ummm...I think not...

Yeah I know to do that...thing is it doesn't appear anywhere. Not in the keyboard and language settings, or selecting input method, anywhere at all. It's in the system/app folder, of course I'm rooted. I set those permissions and tried other ones, but it just won't appear. I gave installing the .apk a shot (doesn't install) and I tried rebooting of course. I'm not sure what the problem could be.

Finally! If anyone has troubles like I did this should fix it. The problem was permissions after all. Certain file managers won't tell you the permission change failed. I tried with root explorer and it said you can't change permissions on anything in the sd. So I moved the LatinIME.apk to the root of the phone and changed the permissions, then into the system/app folder and rebooted, now it works.

I'm a noob.
I'm using ASTRO file manager. When trying to paste the file into the app folder it doesn't give me an option to. all the options are greyed out.
What is it im doing wrong? should i use a different file manager? any suggestions? thanks

Your device is rooted, right? Once you are rooted, I used "ES File Explorer". I have the setting checked that it's a rooted device and to make everything writable checked. Either rename the old one with ".old" at the end or cut and paste the old file to sd card just in case. Cut and paste the new file where the old one was. Hold your finder down and go to properties. Make sure the permissions are rw- r-- r-- on it.

[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_next": "Next",

"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

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.

Not sure if others are seeing this, but I cannot move/copy those two files into /System/App as we are using a secured kernel.
I tried using ADB Shell Mount, but refuses to let me mount the /system as RW. I tried Root Explorer to copy the files into the /System/App even after setting it to RW but it never copies the files into that directory.
Has anyone sucessfully got this to work? Seems like needs to be injected through a zip file via CWM.

I ran into the same problem.
Tried re-rooting, but no dice.
So I started from a fresh install, One click ICS, odin CWM, CWM root, then load deodexed system files.
For some reason we can touch the /System/App right after install, but then it stops working after a couple of reboots.
I'm using Romracer's deoedexed ICS files.

Alright well I managed to get them in there. I just booted into recovery, then in CWM mounted the /system. Then I used ADB to push the two files into the System/App and it took it without an issue. Then Just renamed the LatinIME.apk to LatinIME.apk.bak using ADB as well (didnt want to delete it just incase this didnt work) and then just rebooted and the dictionary definitely works now.

Thanks soo much! I thought i was losing my mind. But i did it a different way instead of ADB.
For those who (like myself) who are not familiar with ADB, download ES File Explorer.
Go into the settings on the app
Go into file settings and enable "show hidden files"
Go back and Enable "Up to Root"
Scroll farther down and enable "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System"
Then Rename the existing copy of "latinme" to "latinme.apk.bak" (just use .bak ; like someone mentioned already) in the /system/app directory
Then copy the two files to this /system/app folder
You may have to (for some reason i did) rename the two folders that you pasted due to them being named as "._latin..."
Just delete the "._"
Then re-enable the keyboard in settings
Hope that helps for people who dont use ADB or know how for that matter.

I also had to restart the phone to get it to work.

I followed your steps and it didnt work for me, I tried to rename it and it said operation failed.
ETA: Ended up doing via ADB and it worked.

I guess i was lucky. I was able to make the changes with root explorer. Good fix by the way.

Its definitely a good thing ADB exists then. Some got it to work which is great, others i guess will have to use ADB.
I will say the first time i did this, after i renamed the two files because they had hidden names, it failed for me. Those files were corrupt or something. So i re downloaded them and redid the steps with ES and it worked fine.
Another thing, do you have busybox and all that fun stuff installed too(ROM Manager)?

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
