Can you use ROM kitchen for US GS III? - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps (US Carriers)

Can I use ROM kitchen to change battery icon etc safely? I did it for Galaxy S and wondering if experience will be the same with G III.

Yes, I just did it, but there are a few tweaks/gotchas...
1. You can only do some limited things with the kitchen (I just did battery). The reason is that if you are messing with anything in the twresframework.apk - the ones on our phones are too big (over 3MB) and will be rejected by the kitchen for now. I was only able to update the regular resframework and systemui files.
2. The resulting UOT file will not work as is in CWM (gives the Status 0 error). So I followed their suggested workaround:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
For this, I actually borrowed the CWM script from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732262 and took its update-binary file and copied over into the UOT one.
After that it installed correctly, and I know have a new battery icon!
Please note that doing this changed my status under the download mode to CUSTOM, but it did not increase the Binary Counter. I suspect because when you start mucking with key system files like the framework, it's got to account for this.

Can you share your battery icon?

Sure. This is specifically for the ATT i747 (UCALEM) - and using on other variants is almost guaranteed to be trouble since were dealing with framework files

Excellent works very well, did you do anything else in this mod or only change battery icon?

Can you tell me why framework-res was changed in your patch, because battery icons are in the systemui. Was wondering because I already have a changed framework with tethering and cell standby fix and was going to try only using the systemui. Thanks

To be honest, I'm just used to uploading both frameworks and the systemui whenever using the kitchen. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if just copying over the systemui would do it and the framework is untouched stock.
Whenever I used the kitchen on the past I also would use the latest framework of my phone to preserve any tweaks also made to it. You're more than welcome to try manually patching just the systemui and retain your custom framework.
Each phone I've had seems to move certain components to different files which again is why out of habit I use the frameworks but could just be a placebo.

Just FYI, I'm running DietICS ROM.
I had previously used ROM Toolbox to change to a custom battery icon.
Then I just now flashed your battery icon.
Now I've lost my toggle menu.
Tried a fix-permissions & clear davlick but it didn't help.

If the dev for that ROM made their own customizations to either the framework or systemui flashing this may break them because these are from the stock ROM. To get it back your may need to re flash either the of the original files from the ROM you are on.

Yep.
I was just mentioning it so others on the same ROM wouldn't try to flash the battery and get stuck if they didn't already do a nandroid.

[JB-4.2] GB Theme Remover & Facebook Sync

Hi everyone
I ported two little mods to the latest JB 4.2. They have been tested on the stock odexed ROM but they could work on a deodexed one ^_^
- GB Theme Remover removes the Gingerbread "theme" from all the old apps and displays them with the Holo (4.0+) one. The mod was originally ported by lippol94 to 4.1. Just flash the zip.
- Facebook Sync makes you sync your FB contacts with the built-in People app.
How to:
- Delete the FB account
- Flash the zip
- Go to Settings, Applications, Contacts Storage and delete its data (make sure you have synced your contacts before doing this...)
- Open the Facebook app and as soon as you enter your login, it should ask you to sync.
Hope they are useful ^_^
Not sure what I done wrong when I tried using this on mmuzys 4.2 gave me a boot loop. Had to reflash OS rom.
Would love to try this mod though.

Since the GB remover mod replaces the framework-res.apk in the system
I think you will get boot loops if you flash it

There are no images. Changes are made to XML files.
Well do you know which XML files?
Because those can be replaced with zip themer as well
Its replacing Styles.xml which cannot be zipthemer'd. Framework has to manually be decompiled and modded.
Don't do this if you don't know anything about it.
I did this on my galaxy nexus with xenonhd running on it and it didn't end well. After I rebooted it diden't sync anything anymore now I have to completely reflash everything again

As I said it's just for 4.2 ROMs... and probably as I learned these days, only for the stock ROM because Android checks for the signature of framework-res and a lot of apks in /system/app. They must match or the OS won't even boot. These mods keep Google's signature so the only ROMs which work are Google-signed ones.
I got a boot loop on aosp r5.

Jelly Bean 4.2.1 OTA Launcher with rotation (deodexed apk) flashable

FIXED Flash-able .zip: here
What is fixed:
rotation!
I used sample.zip file that I didn't modify and maybe that's why the launcher didn't work with rotation so I modified files from META-INF folder and now it flashes it correctly and rotates correctly too.
Hope you like this!
You might want to make that file available to the public, unless you want to give permission to bunches of folks.

First of all thanks for this mod, but I'm facing a problem when screen is rotated. Toggles are messed up in Xylon ROM 0081 (s. Screens / attachment).
Also the flashable ZIP did not work. CWM 6.0.1.9 flashed it successfully but it was still the original launcher2.apk, even when I renamed the original one to .apkold, the modded apk wasn't there when I flashed the zip. So I installed ithe apk to data first, copied it to system and adjusted permissions.
I just wonder if Xylon is Odexed... Gonna check that next. If it is, is there a way to make it work?

I don't know nothing about the custom ROM "Xylon" the launcher is for stock ROMs and for ROMs what does not have modified system apps and modified framework-res.apk....
You can try to flash it by wiping cache and dalvik cache and then flash the launcher.
You can also try the ADB way if that works better.
I messed my nexus up by trying to theme framework-res.apk and when I flashed my ROM again and this launcher then now it does not rotate... I don't know why.. but before it worked..
flash-able zip is fixed now..
Works good with MMuzzys Toroplus ROM
The new ZIP is working now and on Paranoid Android launcher rotation is working thanks to you. Toggles not messed up beyond repair. Still wondering about issue with Xylon rom, as it uses the stock launcher by default... But I still don't know if and how much it was modded.

Hi, thanks so much for this, I needed it because of a custom car dock and I don't want to install car dock apps when they're just unnecessary bloatware.
Is there any way to rotate the lock screen, too, or is that something entirely different? It would be most helpful. Not a fan of pattern lock sideways (but obviously, I can make do!).
Thanks again!

To enable lock screen rotation you must modify framework-res.apk

Getting AOSP/CM10 Dialer & Contacts to work on Samsung Rom

Hi Guys,
Losing my patient on laggy Samsung Dialer and Contacts, so I decided to replace it with AOSP dialer and contacts. It didn't work out 100%, but it works to some extend
Contacts - so far all working as it should.
Dialer - in call screen doesn't work. It will use Samsung in call screen instead. Well, is good too because I can use call recording feature
Missed called - show in lockscreen but only open to contacts instead of the one who had called.
If you wish to install AOSP Dialer & Contacts, here's how:
1) Samsung mms.apk won't work with AOSP contacts. So you will need to replace the SecMms.apk with AOSP mms.apk. You can do that from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36617379
2) Next, download the zip file below. Then navigate to system/app. Find SecContacts.apk and rename it to SecContacts.apk.bak (do not delete)
3) Reboot into recovery and flash the zip file you just downloaded. All contacts will be cleared. So make sure you have backup.
4) Reboot your phone. Navigate to system/app. Find ContactsProvider.apk (not SecContactsProvider.apk) and rename it (do not delete) to ContactsProvider.apk.bak
That's it. If you found any bug, please let me know. Or if you have other method to get AOSP/CM10 Dialer and Contacts to work with Samsung based rom, please share.
Thanks.
Do this at your own risk.

Yeah, hopefully some great developers can help to merge the apks into Samsung framework. In the meantime, this is a workaround.

or you can use Ex Dialer with the ICS theme. No lag, and it's somewhat better than AOSP/CM dialers. It has lots of options to chose from, it's free and has an option to be kept in memory

Contact.apk required the file to be present. Deleting it caused FC. Since we already have SecContactsProvider.apk running, there is no point leaving ContactsProvider.apk running too. Is fine though if you do not want to rename it.

[MOD] Remove Location Icon ( UPDATE: 12/17/2013)

Since there was not one posted i decided to post a Remove Location Icon flashable zip file for those who just decide to stay stock de-bloated.
The update script is by andybones, and i modified the apk.
This will work with stock,and deodex, roms as long as you have no other modifications are made in the systemUI.apk
I also included the stock file as well.
Flash in recovery and wipe the dalvik-cache, reboot, SUCCESS !
There are Three files. The Remove_Location.zip will work for both odex and deodex roms.
For odex roms it deletes the odex file and replaced it with a deodex version. It will work just fine don't stress out about it....
The other two are stock deodex and stock odex. If you want to go back make sure you use the right one!
UPDATE(12/17/2013): I added the 2.10.605.1 update mod..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48592241&postcount=31
UPDATE(11/21/2013): I added the .15 update mod as the systemUI.apk is not the same for that update .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47683138&postcount=28

I corrected this problem, and the code is now fixed !
Is it still a blank icon that just now AFTER the Beats icon, or is it really space freed up for other notifications?
I don't have that behavior myself on my device after flashing as seen in the posted screenshot. Anyone else ?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
Edit:
Note that even though the modification to the systemUI.apk smali code should set the icon to a with of zero, the actual location of those icons are in the same file
Those were technically removed on my first attempt, which yielded the blank space between the beats icon and 4G symbol or whatever else. That b/c I didn't take into account the smali code in systemUI.apk
Now on my device theI just applied the systemUI.apk modification which just set the width of the ' clear ' location icon to zero which made the space disappear. I have tested this several times by replacing the original systemUI.apk and systemUI.odex files and then re-flashing the modified one and it functions as shown in the OP screenshot.
I also compared the MD5 checksum with the one I flashed vs the one I downloaded from here in case i accidentally messed up and they are identical.

I was going to say, that those status bar mods are not stock
The SystemUI.apk holds some of the icons for the statusbar, and the systemUI.apk hold the codes that control the blank space between the 4G icon and the beats icon that is where the blank space was.
Those are the files that were modified by me, the first being accidental leaving the space between the beats icon and the 4G symbol, and the later resolved the space
Either way, I had the space previously with your first mod and flashed the updated zip and the space is gone. Thanks for the fix!

I like the clcok and battery mods there. I wish there was an easy way to do that while keeping the stock ROM. there's no custom ROMs for this phone yet that I've fallen in love with. Bone Stock was good for a While, but even that one I found myself going back to true stock ROM and just debloating it myself.

Has anyone managed to get a hotspot workaround running for 4.3 yet?
I'm liking the ROM on now, but I really need hotspot and it doesn't seem to work on any of the posted stock 4.3 ROMs out of the box.

Thank you! I'll check around for that then. Much appreciated!
On Jovys rom I posted a link with modified framework and files that will allow tethering if you are using the MK2 modems.
Tether/hotspot only seems to work on 4.2 roms tried 4.3 and 4.4 none works or seems to have no support at least nobody answer to this kind of issue

That is good to know. I will migrate my way over there and look for that. Now all I have to do is get smart on how to modify framework.

They go under /system/csc folder
You should be able to just overwrite the two that are there.
I typically delete thme out and then write the new ones and change permissions.
Reboot and it will read the new files.
Thank u, using without a problem in Jovys23 4.3 stock rom

where's the link to those files?
does anyone have a link to those framework files for hotspot tethering with the mk2 baseband?
Framework Files
Hello Agelistus,
the files you can find them on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47983804&highlight=tether#post47983804
It will be Post #225
I didn't copy the direct URL as I don't own the link of files. Would be glad to post them here if TheArtiszan is ok with that or re-upload them to make them available in more than one spot.

Much obliged!!
Hey southsidexz, thanks a million!! xda is an entire universe of information and I would have truly burned the midnight oil looking for this to no avail. Gonna try it out now. So far that's my only issue with infamous 9, it seemed that wifi tethering worked natively on 8.0. Again, many many thanks!
Your welcome
Your welcome. Always glad to help people around.
On another note I was dumb enough to rename the framework to old before I replaced it so my Phone got killed..... However thanks to cabloomi and his Recovery Image to .tar.md5 odin flash, I was able to flash CWM latest recovery so it could read my MicroSD card and then flash the zip I created that flashed the framework file. (Thanks to ScatteredHell)
If in case someone else does it... and doesn't want to re-flash the rom or restore old backup.
You can flash Framework via recovery, following this thread instrucitons to get the framework apk into a flashable format for recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840098
If in case you have a recovery that won't read your external SD card (like I did) you can use this link to flash any recovery via ODIN.

(Side Note: if you get errors, please see post #23 on the link above, it provides the solution if you get errors)

I follow the steps above and got back up running.

Just to make this easy I had the same problem on replacing framework, too. Then I searched on some other forums here and found out you can copy or move the framework apk into system folder and fix permissions then move that framework I to the framework folder to replace over the existing apk and just reboot. Just make sure to make a nandroid before doing anything just incase something goes wrong.
Thanks
Thanks Carlos2200,
I would've taken that route but sadly I couldn't get into the system folder. I wasn't able to do a nandroid restore as my SD card got messed up and the backup was gone.
Definitely for anyone, make sure you have a good Nandroid before anything.
I will update that the method I mention above does remove all your accounts only. So you will have to re-add them.

An alternative....
For those who don't care to bother with the framework files in the event that 3minit is updated to work with 4.3, I came across an app on the play store called "wi-fi tether router" that seems to work, though I haven't a clue why it does. Changing the user agent on the browser renders it successful it seems. Good luck to all!
