How to configure
The program is easily to configure.
in your rom you need only a file named update_me.xml in the system folder.
The file must be like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RomConfig>
<RomName>Name rom</RomName>
<RomVersion>0.1.0</RomVersion>
<RomCheckUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_ckeck.xml</RomCheckUrl>
<RomElemUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_parts</RomElemUrl>
<CheckMD5>0</CheckMD5>
<RebootRecovery>0</RebootRecovery>
</RomConfig>
and 2 other file must to be placed online:
- a file with rom info for check new rom availability
- a file with element for rom.
ATTENTION
When the rom is update, the new rom MUST contains a modified update_me.xml with new version,otherwise the app show always the message "new rom available"
an example config is available here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3681387/config_example.zip
the pack of available icon for tabs can download here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3681387/icons.zip
in the pack icon named icon_0.png is the number 0 of the config ;D
Supported file host
direct download file host
public folder on dropbox, box.net, etc
goo.im
xdafileserver.nl
androidfilehost.com
How check md5 work
if check md5 is enabled for a file, the program check for a file name with the same name of file plus .md5sum like: app.zip and app.zip.md5sum
with contains md5 plus filename.
if the host is goo.im the md5 is read directly from page

for those that like to add this to their Rom its easy all you do is add the update_me.xml file to your system folder.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RomConfig>
<RomName>Name rom</RomName>
<RomVersion>0.1.0</RomVersion>
<RomCheckUrl>http://www.me.com/update_me_ckeck.xml</RomCheckUrl>
<RomElemUrl>http://www.me.com/common_update_me.xml</RomElemUrl>
<RomElemUrl>http://www.me.com/transformer_update_me_parts.xml</RomElemUrl>
<RebootType>1</RebootType><!-- 0 no install,1 install on cwm, 2 install openrecoveryscript -->
<FilterName>transformer</FilterName> <!-- Filter for element,if you don't need not insert-->
</RomConfig>
then the file
update_me_ckeck.xm you edit and add it to your files location
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Is there any way to update an existing XDA user account, such as change user e-mail address, or change or add an im'age? I've made several attempts, but haven't been able to find the method for accomplishing this.

[GUIDE][MOD] Theme your "Tap to add widgets" Area through Text, Image, and Function

[GUIDE][MOD] Theme your "Tap to add widgets" Area through Text, Image, and Function
THIS GUIDE ASSUMES YOU KNOW HOW TO DECOMPILE AND RECOMPILE APKs.
This is a very simple mod that will help you change the text "Tap to add widgets", the default "plus" image that is tapped in order to add widgets, and turn off its function (if desired), on the LG G2.
General Instructions
1) Take the LGLockScreen.apk from your stock ROM.
2) Decompile the APK into a folder and call it something like LGLockScreen.
Instructions - Change Text
3) Go to LGLockScreen>res>Values>strings.xml
4) Look for:
Code:
<string name="keyguard_tap_to_add_widget_NORMAL">Tap to add widgets</string>
5) Replace "Tap to add widgets" with the writing you want people to see on the lock screen.
6) Recompile the APK.
Instructions - Change "Plus" Image
NOTE: There is no need to decompile the APK if only performing this mod. Just use 7z or Winrar to replace the files.
3) Create a PNG image that you wish to use in two sizes: 234x305 & 70x91
4) Make three copies of each size and name one of each size the following:
lockscreen_widget_add_disable
lockscreen_widget_add_normal
lockscreen_widget_add_pressed
5) Go to LGLockScreen>res>drawable
6) Place the three 70x91 images into the drawable folder overwriting the existing images.
7) Go to LGLockScreen>res>drawable-xxhdpi
8) Place the three 234x305 images into the drawable folder overwriting the existing images.
9) Recompile the APK.
Instructions - Turn Off Function to Add Widget
3) Go to LGLockScreen>res>Values>ids.xml
4) Look for:
Code:
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget">false</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_view">false</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_guide_text">false</item>
5) Change to:
Code:
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget">true</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_view">true</item>
<item type="id" name="keyguard_add_widget_guide_text">true</item>
6) Recompile the APK.
Enjoy!

[TUT] Changing Lockscreen Clock Hour style to blod

Hi
As promise to @tromine this is simple tutorial that change lockscreen Hour style to bold
What You Need:
1. APK Tool for decompiling (i use TMA and Thanks go to Ticklefish)
2. Stock Sony 18.6.A.0.175 rom installed and odex
3. Patience & Time
Lets Start.
First pull: SystemUI, framework-res and SemcGenericUxpRes ( Res are needed so you can properly decompile SystemUI)
Decompile SystemUI and go to SystemUI.apk\res\values folder open styles.xml
Find:
Code:
<style name="somc_sony_clock_hour_style" parent="@style/SonyClockBaseStyle">
<item name="android:textSize">@dimen/somc_sony_clock_hour_digit_size</item>
<item name="android:maxLines">1</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">x-sst</item>
</style>
<style name="somc_sony_clock_minute_style" parent="@style/SonyClockBaseStyle">
<item name="android:textSize">@dimen/somc_sony_clock_minute_digit_size</item>
<item name="android:maxLines">1</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">x-sst</item>
"somc_sony_clock_hour_style" controls Hour numbers
"somc_sony_clock_minute_style" control Min numbers
Add this line:
At "clock_hour_style"
Code:
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
under
Code:
<item name="android:textSize">@dimen/somc_sony_clock_hour_digit_size</item>
At "clock_minute_style" change:
Code:
<item name="android:fontFamily">x-sst</item>
To
Code:
<item name="android:fontFamily">x-sst-light</item>
Now save and you can recompile.
If you want to change size of clock go to SystemUI.apk\res\values open dimens.xml
This are sizes for clock:
Code:
<dimen name="somc_sony_clock_hour_digit_size">114.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="somc_sony_clock_minute_digit_size">108.0dip</dimen>
I changed my like this:
Code:
<dimen name="somc_sony_clock_hour_digit_size">94.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="somc_sony_clock_minute_digit_size">94.0dip</dimen>
So it look smaller
@psichokillah want to get rid of the clock on the lockscreen. Is it possible?
The Answer is Yes.
Go to SystemUI.apk\res\layout\somc_sony_clock_view.xml
On First line:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.sonymobile.keyguard.plugin.sonyclock.SonyClock android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/sony_clock_root" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Add (android:visibility="invisible") after android:id="@id/sony_clock_root" so it look like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.sonymobile.keyguard.plugin.sonyclock.SonyClock android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/sony_clock_root" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Save, recompile Push apk to system.
P.S. zips are NOT flashable copy/push them your choice.
How to Install:
1. Copy moded SysteUI to sd_card
2. Reboot to PhilZ_Touch recovery
3. Go to "Mounts and Storage

The zips for d2303?

I have installed the recoveries, but I can't enter since no cyan led appears. It's impossible to change the SystemUI

Yap, it's from D2303. But you can change it on any SystemUI from M2 variants and maybe more, as long it have those lines in styles.

Believe me I tried, but it doesn;t work. The phone boots and it appears the green LED color then the screen goes blank and that's it.

Thanks for the release

It works! But it seems tight between hour and minutes. How can I fix this ?

@tromine
It looks like you need to lower dimensions of minute numbers. Go to values/dimensions.xml and see what's best for you.
You have which dimensions are responsible for what in OP.

Enabling Vulkan for vernee mix 2

you may have noticed this post at the modding thread (and maybe the Q&A thread), the reason im double posting is so others could see this one visibly, while the other is just a substitute to get the 10 post requirement (sorry to add the unnecessary spam / post)
requirements:
Rooted phone
file manager
some patience
and a healthy working mind
and twrp (in case of bootloop)
now anything you do below here is considered "DIY" if your device gets f***ed dont blame me
1. open your file manager
go to : /system/etc/permissions
make 2 new files
android.hardware.vulkan.level.xml
android.hardware.vulkan.version.xml
2.
open android.hardware.vulkan.level.xml
add this :
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.vulkan.level" version="0" />
</permissions>
save & close
open android.hardware.vulkan.version.xml
Add this:
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.vulkan.version" version="4194307" />
</permissions>
save & exit
3. Now the fun bit
go to /system/vendor
open lib/egl
copy libGLES_mali.so & paste it to lib/hw
rename libGLES_mali.so at the lib/hw folder to vulkan.mt6757.so
next
open lib64/egl
copy libGLES_mali.so & paste it to lib64/hw
rename libGLES_mali.so at the lib/hw folder to vulkan.mt6757.so
4. reboot and hope it doesnt bootloop
tadah, you're ready to game hard! , open aida64 and the devices tab, you will see "Vulkan Device - Mali-T880"
if you think this helps, do press the thank button
