[Q] [Xperia J] How to change apk in rom stock? - Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E

Hello, Well I am new to modifying roms and I have a big doubt.
Now I'm using the stock rom JB .31 on my xperia J, however I want to change what is the notification area to put clear, but I'm not sure modify the framework-res.apk or the systemui.apk, fearing rom being that stock, this has a brick.
I would also like to modify other apps to set background transparent, like Gmail, Youtube, etc. ..
If someone could advise me on this, I would greatly appreciate.

Notification area is is SysteUI.apk and for Gmail and YouTube I don't know. Search for BlackOut team they have modified some aps.

[ICON&UI] ARC Icon and UI for some apps for your custom rom!

I thought some of you might like to have the ARC look on your custom rom (like me) and i just feel like sharing something to the community.
so i've managed to edit some apk files and here you go.
This should work on any CM 6 rom and freex10 rom.
just flash this file with xRecovery and enjoy! ( I hope)
http://www.mediafire.com/?8zvb17gcmbsrqev
This will affect:
browser.apk - The exact same look as the ARC browser
calculator.apk - icon only
calendar.apk - The exact same look (not sure)
camera.apk - icon only
contacts.apk - credit to Wolfbreak, I only changed the contact picture (android) to ARC contact picture
deskclock.apk - The round clock widget. The exact same look.
email.apk - Everything except for the background, I will be really appreciated if some-one will tell me how to change it.
gallery3d.apk - the exact same look.
mms.apk - messaging, i only changed contact pic and icon, credit goes to Wolfbreak
music.apk - icon and widget, ARC style
settings.apk - power control widget has the exact same look as ARC. However, i didnt change settings icons because i don't have Cyanogen Setting Icon that looks "ARC" enough
cheers!
For anyone using Wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 V05 don't download this just yet. I'm gonna update my post and upload a new file.
Good work! I like it. Will include it in new Version of my ROM if you dont mind.
Great mode buddy, cheers!

Quick question bud, Im using CM 6.1.3 right now, when your new version is available, will it be a completely new ROM or just an update that we could flash with xRec?

hmmm...
have you tried to remove gallery3d.apk from your: system\app\ (using "RootExplorer") and tried flashing the gallery again?
That might work
If you haven't and want to try this it's better if you back up the original file first.
hope this helps =]
Yeah most of them work great on my FreeX10 Beta4!
Just some minor problems don't if it is my problem.
calendar - turn white and show nothing (see attachement)
setting - when pressing CyanogenMod settings, face (The application Setting (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly.) Is it because I havn't install CyanogenMod Setting?
It's because the files are for CM 6.1.3 ROM. FreeX10 doesn't have CM settings as it's AOSP built.
i flashed it on my wolfbreak rom (newest version) but now my settings menu is black and the camera app is still the same, only the icons changed
Thanks mate! Great work!

The camara app only has the ARC camera icon, nothing so fancy about that.
Have you managed to fix that problem? The power control widget really has a nice ARC look.
Have you tried flashing only settings.apk again?
how do you get the arc status bar? mine is only the stock white 2.2 look

in case that doesn't work just open Freex10 framework-res.apk with winrar or sth
look for folder "drawable-hdpi" and "drawable-land-hdpi" u need to replace these two folders with Wolfbreak's framework.
Thanks, Will try this.
Edit: After Installing this, the Contacts are modified, Now I'm not getting (A,B,C...) buttons in the Contacts for Search and also the Interface of Contacts has gone back to default froyo 2.2 screen (Like 4.5 version of wolfbreak rom).

I don't get it why do you request when you are building/porting a rom? To my understanding rom consists of the sense system apps. Sms e.t.c its not that easy to port but framework settings e.t.c should be done easily because its just. Pngs and xmls. If no one reply to you maybe i could help you with framework
No I am not porting. It is based on a 2.3 rom. I have the framework from a galaxy theme and when I build the framework-res.apk the rom does not boot.
I made sure all the folders were the same and everything.
Another thing I have to figure out is galaxy s livewallpapers not working with the rom. If I install the apks after the rom has booted it use any other rom, they work.
Thanks a lot for your input. I appreciate it.

Hi, for making theme for Stock ROMs might take some times including editing background theme, apps icon and so on. But some functions will not be supported like Xperia S. Why don't give X10S ROM by championswimmer-Tof37, a try? i tried X10S v8.2 Locked Bootloader before and it's gorgeous It's ported from Xperia S, works for both Locked and Unlocked Bootloaders, and supports different feature too The thread link right here You may need to not flash wifi module first, check your WiFi whether works after reboot phone. If not, only flash that via xrecovery. Hope helps and enjoy
sincerely,
whitefang
im sorry but i tried acotjan's rom and i actually want the theme not features as i play games and those apps are ram eaters

[REQ] SystemUI for Xperia E

Hi, everyone! I don't know if I am doing this right but here it goes...
I have a Xperia E, and I am so, but so done of that green battery that is useless and even don't tell me the percentage of remaining battery!
I flashed to ICS and modded the SystemUI, it was an awesome mod, with transparency and battery's percentage.
Why I changed again to JB? Because of better compatibility with apps (more recent) and a sudden hope that Sony will launch a new update.
So recently I had an idea, but my knowledge about apks is very low and I don't know how to program Java and XML languages.
I installed an app, GravityBox, that do the job, but it occupy RAM and CPU time.
If there is someone interested on this and want to do, teach or help, please tell because it will benefit everyone and maybe people will understand how Android works and maybe it will work like an introduction to modding.
First of all is the percentage, if possible I wanted to look like the screenshot.
I'm interested 2 if someone can teach or guide,refer.

there's no risk anyways...since your just editing the apk's ....(worst that could happen is 'no system ui ')
if you were tweaking kernels and that sort of stuff it would be risky...
OK good luck!
Begining SystemUI
So I started doing the battery icons, more like the screenshots, but now I have a doubt, if someone knows this please reply.
When I installed GravityBox the percentage does not change size, I mean the font size, and for this the icons should be bigger that the actual 21x18 pixels.
Now I am at the 36% icon, possibly I can do all icons today and compile to .apk again.
I'll do the tests to not endanger other equipments.
SystemUI testing
I have good and bad news.
The good is it worked once but with fails, don't ask me why because I don't know, I just followed the TUT.
The bad is that I got this "New Android Interface".

Well since I can't use ClockworkMod properly because I can't unlock the damn bootloader, I have an odexed ROM, but when I had ICS it wasn't deodexed and installed the mod simply by removing the .odex file, I think it would be the same procedure.
The SystemUI I modded is from my actual ROM, simply and for now I just made new SystemUI icons and changed the respective .xml files.
I don't know what I did wrong and why it only worked when I put the modded SystemUI on the system/app folder.

talk to nsdcars5 or matspunt about it.....
but first ...your bootloader...do something about it
I'll see what can I do, I have to call my carrier to see how much it costs to enable bootloader unlock.
I'll also contact these users you indicated me, maybe my problem is very small. :thumbup:

Unlocking the boot loader is different from carrier unlocking! If your status says yes it's completely free.
Please Google for guides, because right now I'm on my phone.

No! Don't do that! You'll just have to flash the thing again.
@Grimlock007 Just asking, since when do I have experience in SystemUI mods? Only time I did one was for my last phone, for which GravityBox didn't exist (*cough* Gingerbread *cough* 256 MB RAM *cough*).
New Idea
I got an idea, when I had ICS it was also odexed and I could mod.
So the steps for me were:
1 - Copy the original SystemUI into a folder (backup)
2 - Copy modded SystemUI to the app folder
3 - Reboot
4 - Delete odex file
5 - Reboot
6 - Done
I was thinking in a person who has deodexed SystemUI and if this person transfer to me.
I think it would work, basically I think it's the same process, even for modding.

i was talking about the .odex delete part (i think)
Hi everyone, again!
Finally I found something interesting with gravitybox.
The screenshot without the status bar is like the expanded desktop from gravitybox.
I'll take a look again on my systemui configurations and soon will dispose to everyone to use, see and modify freely and at own risk even if it is incomplete by my side. I want this to be a community project for xperia e and by xperia e users.
I still have two questions...
How do I make not expanded desktop?
Why nobody sent me an Deodexed SystemUI?...
