Enable electronBeam Animation

Hey,
This recent leak of "gingerbread" from samsung does not have animation enabled by default. The code is there, they've just disabled it from the xml.
So here are the steps :
For developers :
1. Get apk manager
2. Put framework-res.apk in "modding" folder
3. Run apk manager, decompile with dependancy (option 10)
4. Drag twframework-res.apk into the script.
5. Go into projects\framework-res\res\values\bool.xml
6. Make config_animateScreenLights to false
7. Go back to script and select compile.
8. Say y
9. Say y
10. Delete resources.arsc from keep folder
11. Enter in script
12. U'll find unsignedframework-res.apk in "modding" folder
For users :
Code:
adb push unsignedframework-res.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot
Make sure settings -> display -> animation isnt set to none.

Hi Daneshm90,
Did you manage to decompile Settings.apk for GB? Funny thing now is that there is an additional apk in the /userprofile/apktool/ folder. There are now 3 apks (resoures.arsc):
1.apk
2.apk
127.apk
This is something new. Is it now the apks are tri-dependency instead of co-dependency for GB Galaxy s?

Nope these steps are standard. So you can pull your framework-res and undergo these exact modifications

You guys are using gingerbread leaked rom? Iirc it should be a prerequisite for this mod.

This will come in handy.
Thx.

Worked on JVK, thanks for this
EDIT: Added the resulting framework-res.apk
EDIT2: Complied wrong, all pngs are duplicated, taking up a lot of space. Please do not use this one. Use either danesh's or the one in perka's stash should be updated soon
EDIT3: The fixed framework-res.apk is in perka's stash here http://goo.gl/Lf7LF

Its a framework installation.
Just follow the adb instructions in OP. This is a framework apk, not a user apk.

U can use ones i posted. Click my.profile n search my posts. I posted it in jvk thread

I tent to get a lot of bootloops when i try to push the unsigned framework that i compiled. Adding the resources.asc manually (first take it out the framework and manually add it again with no compression) resolved that.
Is that extra step not nessecary anymore ?

[REQ][HOWTO] Making your own battery mod?

People are using different rom's , some other are asking for specific mod etc
Could someone write some guide how to do it, to enlight those who are not aware ?

Take the framework-res.apk from your current rom and upload it to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen
Once uploaded go to battery mod and select the battery style u want and cook it.
When its cooked extract the framework-res.apk from the downloaded file and either replace it with root explorer or push it with adb back into the phone.

Depends of which rom you are running but if you use VillainRom I think you need to open your modded framework with 7-zip and replace "META-INF" directory with the one found in the original framework of your rom. This is needed to sign the file.
However I'm not sure you use VillainRom (where files must be signed) and I didn't use yet the kitchen ... but your feedback is usefull if you want to try ...

Ok so ignore what I said upper ... should be only for signature of the rom (not needed in stock roms).
Anyway ... if someone has the solution ...

I always made that on my own...
Open the decompiled .xml in the framework-res.apk, edit those lines, add my own battery.pngs and that was all...
I didnt test it on my sgs2... But it should be the same way to get it...

could you tell which .xml to edit and what to add within the file?

I juz grab one of the batt mod out there and replace the .png files under /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 with the ones I want. guess its kind of a lazy way to do it=)

I have KE2 and get a "signature verification failed" error when trying to apply the UOT.zip file :-(
Anyone some idea how to get this applied?
Also my original framework-res.apk file doesn't have any folder called "/res/drawable-hdpi-v4" but the UOT file has!?

Softkeys installation

Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!

Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.

somebody can help please?

Hi, yes we can help, but keep patient ^^
I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

If you upload the zip you are trying to edit then I can take a look to see what's wrong :good:

Thanks for the responses guys!
I'm not insulted I'm just human and I can make mistakes so everything is cool
I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>
<rom>ICS / JB</rom>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
The xml file after the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:
Code:
http://speedyshare.com/TVepR/MMZT-softkeys-stockreflect.rar
If I can give any more details please let me know
And thanks a alot for the effort
I appriciate it

Hey mate,
It's not a rom,
It's the stock android that we have on nexus devices ...

Anyway, try the attached file. But make a full non-droit backup, we don't always know what happens...

did you mount system before you flashed the zip?
in cwm goto mounts and storage and mount system (if system is mounted it will display "unmount system")
remember if you are using a cm kernel like biels kernel you have to unmount system and remount it so its best to just unmount it and remount anyway just to make sure

Actually you no need to decompile it, just change the .apk to .zip.
The only thing to do is push the OP files into the ".zip".
After that rename .zip to .apk, and push to system.
You're done.
Hit thanks if I helped!
Note: The Z3 framework-res.apk don't have "value" this file. I tried to force push and it give me bootloop.
Note 2: Trying to use another method: compile the .apk by replace the zip.

sorry to bother you again @Pandemic I've just noticed all animations are very smoooth,but i found a small bug with the three-dot-menu animation...this animation is slow. I attached a screenshot so you will know which animation im talking about

2.Recompile and push to phone
