OK, second try, (please ignore all posts up to number 17)
Here are some Swype Layouts that i collected over the past few feeks, most of them are not done by me but it is hard for me to give the right people credits cause most of the Swype threads were deleted. So please let me know if you'll find "your" png's here.
QWERTZ AND QWERTY Keyboards are modified. Currently there is no Swype Beta version out there for QWERTZ, but maybe in the future (or someone has a "modified" version already).
Compatible with all Roms and all WVGA (800x480) Swype Versions!
What you need:
- Metamorph (root, busybox...)
Instructions:
- go to data/app/ and search for com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk (or ...inputmethod-1.apk ...inputmethod-2.apk)
- move the file to system/app/ (MOVE! not Copy)
- be sure the file is called exactly com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk .. if there is a -1.apk or -2.apk rename it!
- reboot your phone! check if swype is still working properly
- copy the desired layout (the complete zip file attached, do not unzip!) to /sdcard/AndroidThemes
- open Metamorph and click Unzip/Extract new theme
- choose the desired theme
- klick Apply all
- REBOOT!
- choose swype as input method again (long click in empty input field -> input method -> swype)
- should be done now
Please report back if this works for you, this is my first Morph.
If you do not want to move your apk from data/app to system/app you might use Daneshm90 great script which pulls the swype.apk from the phone, copies the keyboard files in it, signs it and pushes it back. To get the right Keyboard files please extract them from my Morph themes (they are located in assets/keyboards) and copy them into the images folder of the script. The script backups your Swype settings and dictionary!
You can find his Script here .
Thanks Daneshm90 for the script and his kind help and Formel-LMS for his private message support!
original Style if you want to undo the changes.
Im confused, how is metamorph capable of modifying apps in /data/app ??? Those apks require resigning which metamorph doesnt do.
blah you are right, works for me cause i signed the swype apk for myself...
so cut/paste to system/app should be fine?
Thanks for the hint.. my first morph obv.
Well yea but u gotta then provide the apk which the forum frowns upon
Heres an alternative i created for another swype themer.

sorry, had a "typo" in my reply. wrote data instead of system first.
what about cut/paste from data/app to system/app and then morph. Might that work?
edit: wow, awesome script!
so can i just replace your png with mine and upload the modified script? downside is that people are loosing their dictionary and have to start from "swype-scratch"

Yes, that should theoretically work. So this is wht would need to happen:
User with swype already installed will have to backup that apk.
Uninstall swype
Push to /system/app/
Then apply ur morph
Restart phone.
Or u cud use my script where all it does is :
Pulls the apk from ur phone
Extracts it
Replaces the images with urs
Repacks it
Signs it
Uninstalls swype from ur phone
Installs this modded one

Hmm k. Didnt realize that. That should be an easy fix just gotta backup the /data/data folder for swype. K while im modifying the script, want me to change anything else ? such as more folders than assets ???

i just moved my com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk from data/app to system/app and it still works? Is this cause i have my "special" version or is an uninstall really necessary? -> edit: puh, ok.. now it is gone lol... move does not really work lol
edit: no, just assets is fine!

Hmm try restarting and see if it causes any issues, if it doesnt then try applying a morph and see if that causes any issues. If both dont then i guess ur fine
issues here lol, swype is gone hehe. trying to reinstall... confused right now a bit hehe
ok had to reinstall after moving from data to system.
can you adopt your script and implement my files (or i can do the copy/paste work for myself..)
here are my files (or morphs for system/app instead of data app)

That'll be generic, so once i just change something in my script and upload it, u just gotta place one of ur themes png's inside the pics folder and run the script.
great thanks, please let me know as soon as you are done.
thanks again for your kind help.
K so im done the script. It now backs up swype data and restores after. One thing though, it seems as though the filename convention is different for the pngs inside assets/keyboards. Im using swype 1.56.30.7625.t100 and when i replace ur pngs inside that folder it still shows default. Is it version dependent ?
Any way, heres the script. The script version u downloaded, notice in the pics folder the filenames are:
SwypeRef_LS_Blue_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Blue_Shifted_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_Jump_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_Jump_Select_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_Select_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Numeric_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Standard_CapsLock_wBlue_HVGA.png

SwypeRef_PT_Standard_CapsLock_wBlue_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_PT_Standard_Shifted_wBlue_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_PT_Standard_wBlue_HVGA.png
Those seemed to work for my swype. Once again it could be version specific.

Thanks, i will try this later!
No not version depended, but you're using HVGA and my files are for WVGA
Moving from data/app/ to system/app/ works now, i forgot to reboot to check it.
I followed the steps as outlined in the first post. After that swype was gone...reinstalled it via android commander...et voila: swype is back with the HTC theme (that I wanted to try out).
Thanks for the theme!!
Confused
Hey thanks for the info. I was wondering, does the swype apk have to be a "working" one? I tried may apks and all of them were out of beta. I also tried your steps and they didn't work for me. I'm just a little confused, sorry for the dumb questions.
is this for the newest version of swype? 1.60.36.8214?
First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.
Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.
Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.
Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.
Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.
And re-boot! Enjoy...
hah great tip for us
thanks

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.
Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

afaik, it's all or nothing. if you resign one system apk, you have to do for all system apk with the same key.

Thats the reason I prefer flashing instead of manually replacing the files cuz then you dont need to set the permissions. Its good for lazy people like me

The easiest and foolproof method is to use Ninjamorph or metamorph app from market.I've modified tones of .pngs with them.
First open the apk with the app
Exit the app
Go to myfiles/Androidthemes/workspace/name-of-apk/res/
Then go to drawable ldpi
Take a look at all of the .png files
Find which .png you want to replace.
You should make your own pic with photoshop or anything to replace it with exact resolution and name
Store it in the sd-card
Open the app again
Go to Existing project/name-of-apk/res/drawable ldpi
Click on the .png you want to replace
App will ask you to replace it with some other .png
Navigate to the modified pic
It'll replace the .png
Then go back to homepage of app
Then click finish project
Tap on the apk name
App will ask you whether you want to replace the original apk
Do as you want
Reboot phone
Make a nandroid backup before everything. cheers

yea metamorph/ninjamorph is great but i'd prefer to do it in PC and just push it via adb cuz i use photoshop and i find it a hassle to use my phone to edit apk's
It's for those guys who dont know how to decompile/compile apk files with their pc.But I agree with you, pc is the best way to go.

May be you should try it out first.Replacing system apps with root explorer is a very dangerous business.I'm familiar with that.My phone started to do endless boot loops which even a nandroid restore failed to fix and ended up in flashing a new stock rom.

agree
pushing it using adb is a more safer way, because if something goes wrong with forcing it to system then you can just repush the original system apk
you was replacing a running apk. there's no doubt it will give you FC message (lol). try your method to replace framework-res.apk or any system app/framework. b16h22 is right. your method is dangerous.

If you want to do it yourself, all you have to do is pull framework-res.apk off your phone (from /system/framework; you can copy it with a root file explorer and then copy it off the SD card onto your computer), decompile with apktool, then open /res/values/bools.xml and look for this line:
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
Change the "false" to "true", recompile the apk with apktool and replace it back on your device. (It may be safer to take the "resources.arsc" from the new APK, and copy it into the original APK using something like 7zip, rather than putting the new APK straight onto the device, but in theory either should work fine).
Otherwise, just wait for hsn97's upload.

If you do the reverse of my post above (i.e. change "true" to "false"), that should enable the CRT animation I believe.

May as well learn. And it takes only a few seconds to decompile it; I'd say the entire process of pulling the APK, decompiling, editing, recompiling, pushing APK back and waiting for phone to reboot could probably be done in under 5 minutes. Compared to potentially waiting days/weeks for someone else to upload a flashable ZIP to do it, I'd say that's fair enough
i dont know what i did the first time , it worked only once , then i tried to decompile the apk file ,when i made the changes and tried to recompile it again , it didnt work , for many apk files ... does anyone know the solution ?

Are you just modifying framework-res.apk, or are you trying to do app APKs (I'm not sure because of the "for many apk files")? If you're trying to do apps, they need to be resigned after modding, or else they won't install. If it's framework-res.apk, I don't know what's wrong. More detail would be helpful; what exactly did you do, at what point does it fail, is there some error message etc.

Sounds like apktool.yml is missing. Maybe you deleted it by accident or something. Try decompiling the APK again into a different folder, and then copy apktool.yml from the newly decompiled one into your existing modified one, and retry rebuilding it.
EDIT: Wait, scratch that. Your command is wrong. It should be "apktool b systemui SystemUI.apk" where "systemui" is the name of the folder the APK was unpacked to.

I dont know how.. I did 2 clean installs of CM 9.1 and CM10... But the Old TV anim remained for both.. and it sortof got mixed with the existing ROM anims.. Can I flash the " TO REMOVE CRT ANIM " directly to remove that OLD TV anim remaining from JaggyROM 3.x.x ??

I just was searching for a way to remove CRT from a 4.2 ROM and this thread came up. Just as an FYI for anyone else that has this come up in a search, right now the apktool doesn't work on the 4.2 framework. I'm sure this will work once the tool gets updated.
i am currently using a unlocked s-off rooted 4ext recovery set up device, i found i enjoy using this rom called midnight rom, it is wonderfula dn suits my needs perfect, but....atfe rhours and hours of searching i am unable to find a guide on how to do this myself, and that is why i am posting here. i would like to flash a CRT lock animation, and perhaps unlock animation (but not needed ofcourse). Ive searched high and low, but it seems i cant find any way of doing this myself without having to use a rom like CM10 that has it built in etc etc, the objective here guys is to flahs this onto my phone myself, without needing to change my rom, either by installable zip someone may have laying aorund, or a quick description of how i could add this into my current rom and reflash it maybe. than ks for all the help in advance. talk to you soon

this is what you do..
use option 11..compile system apk..
go through the guide again, it specifically gives info about editing framework-res.apk
now since u have edited an .xml file, therefore you will have to delete resources.arsc
now again i'm saying see the guide, it tells u step by step along with pictures
after compiling apk, there are two options!
1. rename the compile apk as framework-res.apk and push it to system/framework and replace the old one!!
Note: If you do this you will face lot of force close errors, and screen might go black too...but this is normal..all you have to do is reboot and you'll be good again!:good:
OR
2. Create a flashable zip for cwm

P.P.S- If you have committed any mistake in editing or compiling or even there is an software error in APK Multi tool which produced a bad .apk your phone will go into bootloop, hence make a backup with cwm!!
andddd im now bootlooping, i am on the third recompile, and pushing from recovery to /system/framework/framework-res.apk and i deleted the resources.asrc ill try recomiling a few more times just to make sure its not apk mutitool messing up

ok..so i assume u are following the guide correctly and since u have tried three time hence i believe there is no mistake on editing part..following are scenarios:
1. APK Multi Tool is not compiling apk properly, in such case use other apk tools and then check ur results.
2. the problem might be with your phone/OS, i cannot predict what might be the problem, it's best to ask this thing in ur device's section!
I assume you are on deodexed ROM, if u want to check how then-
decompile your systemui.apk and go to folder project and there will be a folder "systemui". Open it and check if there is a folder named "smali" in it! If yes then ur rom is deodexed and if not ur ROM is odexed. I cannot guarantee the working of above method on odexed ROMs.!
Workaround
1. Get CM
2. There's an app called Screen Off and Lock. It gives CRT animation but not by power button press. It creates a shortcut on homescreen, by pressing which u lock ur phone with CRT animation:good:. But again it does not provide aniamtion on screen unlock!
Hi guys, someday ago i tried to decompile the SystemUI.apk. The modded version is named : SystemUI_mod.apk and the original is SystemUI.apk. I've done the copy procedure of META-INF folder, but every time i tried to push it to my phone, it cause my phone to get a bootlop. Is there any guide on how to decompile, editing, or something that is safe for my phone? And is there any way to mod my font colour to red, blue, or anything? Because my phone background is white, so i cant see anything Thanks for your help :highfive: Sorry if i posted it in the wrong section
