SGS Battery Icon Mod
(Update Fixed root checking r/w bug... Enlarged the font of percentage numbers in theme 1 - version 1 )
EDIT: Although I made this app as save as possible, **** can always happen. Of course, a nadroid backup is adviced as always But... there's another method to get you out of trouble, when you have booting problems. Look for it at the end of this post. (For this to work it is essential that you have turned on USB Debugging is the settings-application menu)
----
I decided to create a (Android) app to change the battery icon for the new Froyo versions (JPM and JP6). The app is based on the knowledge and work collected in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419 (maintained by kalpik).
I have three versions to offer
a version with several themes to choose from (Only for JP6 Froyo Firmware). Current, there are only 3 themes but I will add themes in the future (have to create a client server construction first. 3 themes is the limit as far as the size of the app is concerned).
A version with just one theme for JP6 (added this because this one is "only" 7 Mb, while the first one is 22 Mb ).
And a version for JPM and JP6 with only one theme
** JP6 Version: 3 themes
Credits
First theme is by yours truly. Just the standard Froyo battery icon with a percentage in it (the battery status bar will jump with discontinuous steps of 20 - like the default froyo battery icon)
Second theme is by Fightspit
Third theme is by rom-g
Requirements
* JP6 Froyo version
* Root with r/w access (A SuperOneClick root will do because the app requires no busybox)
Installation
A) Dowload link (apk file, 22 Mb): http://www.4shared.com/file/tvTun0q9/SGS_Battery_Icon_Mod_-_Pro_2.html
(Two themed version: first two themes (apk file, 14mb): http://www.4shared.com/file/xXvZm6iD/SGS_Battery_Icon_Mod_-_Pro.html
B) A donation version of the most up to date version (€0.50) is available on the Android Market - Search for "Galaxy S Battery Icon Pro" or any creative combination of these words)
** JP6 version: 1 theme (C version from the battery mod repository thread)
Requirements
* JP6 Froyo version
* Root with r/w access (A SuperOneClick root will do because the app requires no busybox)
Installation
À) Get it from the Android Market - free (search for Galaxy S Battery Icon Mod - or any combination of these words), or
B) Download the attached SGS Battery Icon Mod.apk to your phone and click on it to install.
** JPM & JP6 version
Requirements
* JPM or JP6 Froyo version
* Root (A SuperOneClick root will do because the app requires no busybox)
* I tested only the JP6 version on my SGS i9000 so a bit of luck is also needed for the other version
Installation
Download the attached Battery_Mod.7z. Unzip the file and copy the unzipped apk file to your device. Click to install
A recovery procedure (from the battery mod repository thread)
A prerequisite is that you have USB Debugging turned on before you got into trouble. So if you read this before you are going to use the tool, now it's a good time to turn on USB Debugging under Settings->Applications
First download this file. That's the file (framework-res.apk) we are going to restore.
Then download this tool: http://www.mediafire.com/?wuzy9iss3k43v4h
Then follow these descriptions:
kalpik said:
Extract the tool.
Extract framework-res.apk from the downloaded file and copy it into the extracted tool dir.
Run Change Framework.bat
Accept the Superuser Permission prompt on the phone.
The script will reboot when it's done
Minor bug... You will need to set your wallpaper and google accounts again

great one!
I guess what it does is just to switch the framework file?

Great work! Thanks
jp6 version worked for me

Way cool!
Maybe you could have split the two versions (because of size), or better (?): let people download their desired mod and dump it in your application's map on the sd? This would reduce the size of your application drastically (and offer genormous flexibility). Just meant as a suggestion...
Is it possible to download this application on the sgs directly? (i.e. is there a "7z" decompression application on the sgs?)

Yep! Maybe I'll dump a bunch of framework files on a site somewhere so the app can download a framework-res file on the demand.

Yep thought of that also. I first wanted to see if such an app is needed and which battery mod version people prefer. If there are a lot of different preferences I maybe create a download-on-demand app. If there are just a few I'll split the app in several apps (don't like the idea to maintain those apps though )

Funny to talk to Dutch speaking people in English...
You could make it a "dumb" application where people do the downloading of the mod themselves, and if easily technically feasible somehow, check if the file matches the current firmware. The question then would be: is there something in the framework-res.apk itself to identify the firmware? If so, your application doesn't need too many updates.
edit: ah, there maybe could be some identifying thing, if you match it with the current one..
edit 2: since this is a battery mod application only you could check if the rest of the file remains the same as the current one. If some other mod is already present in the current framework-res.apk a user might not even want to apply it, so you could make this application really stern and static and (if necessary) add flexibility later on.

I have uploaded a new version only for JP6. This is an apk file that can be downloaded directly to a device.
In this version I check a build property and see if it contains the string "JP6"... If not the app will be closed. (I also assume that only Samsung Galaxy S devices have a build version that contains the string "JP6"... Maybe a bit too pragmatic)
Users can always revert to the old setting by clicking on Restore. It should be noticed that the settings that will be backed up (for informed users the framework-res.apk) are the settings before applying the battery icon modification.
BTW the framework-res.apk will be backed up to /sdcard (in case you have your own backup there.... please move it)

I'm not sure how this is easier than just downloading the zip and flashing through recovery, and if it's really worth the effort to maintain such an app! But if the people want it, they get it!
That's the power of open source

And.. with your method users have much more choices.. I only offer the C version
But I think that the direct downloadable apk version is easier. (No hassle of installing 2e recovery, uploading zip, going into recovery mode etc. etc.)
But to make sure: the credits go to you for preparing the res file(s)! I only "app-ed" it up.

I'm not sure if it's of any interest to you but I sat down last night and added colour to dani31's stock battery mod, I've attached the pngs below.
Sadly I don't posses the necessary black magic skills to put them into a flashable form

Great work mate

This is buggy as hell. I installed it on my JPM SGS, and it rebooted. But then it messed up some of the text, like the unlock screen says "Sending..." instead of "Sweep to unlock". I went to restore it, and now the app just closes because I "don't seem to have a Samsung Galaxy S with a JP6 FROYO version". I can't hit the restore button! Please fix.

Lol, why are you installing the JP6 version on a JPM version.... I've uploaded this app to the market, gave it the title "galaxy S battery mod", wrote in a description that it's only for the Samsung Galaxy S (several times) and I got comment that it crashes on a HTC EVO ...
But you're right there's something wrong with the test procedure. It doesn't run the first time but it does run the second and following times. Will certainly fix this. For now just copy the framework-res.apk file on your sdcard back to your /system/framework directory
I'm going to write a app to check how well one can read. I upload a app to the market that crashes the device and in the description i'm going to write don't download this app it will crash your device. To make it easy I'm going to give it the title Crashes your device - without exceptions. Let's see what the comments are LOL

Ah, didn't realize you made two different versions, my bad

Great, worked without problems on JP6 installed by KIES

No problem ... But hey, thanks for noticing that the test procedure isn't working the first time! I was notified about this this morning when I noticed that someone had managed to run the app on a HTC EVO.

Can you run it again, just to check if you pass the test ? Just fire it up. You don't have to change anything.

IT works like a charm on JP6 via KIES.
Thanks bro

Guide & Info
Guide For ROM Cleaner and Additional Tools!​
We did make an effort to make it as clear as possible on each AROMA screen. However it's always nice to know what the scripts do and when to use them...
So let's start!
Main Menu​
In our main menu you will find:
* Backup Tool
* ROM Cleaner
--- ROM Cleaner (Sense)
--- ROM Cleaner (NO-Sense)
--- Skip cleaning step
* Additional Scripts
--- Settings Restorer
--- Setup Wizard Remover
--- Apps & Mods Installer
--- Run all scripts in one GO!
* Logs collection
* Advanced Power Menu​
Backup Tool​
Will backup:
-*- Applications (Not app data)
-*- Accounts (Settings - Accounts)
-*- Bluetooth pairings
-*- HTC Sense launcher settings (and 3rd party widgets)
-*- HTC Mail accounts (including Inbox)
-*- WiFi keys
Important Note: Use this before flashing a new ROM flash with full wipe
How to apply:
--- Open ROM Cleaner AROMA and press "Backup Tool"
--- When done, press "Power Menu" and "Exit" .... or whatever you want...​
ROM Cleaner​
Flashing procedure for pure ROM Cleaner users!
-*- Flash a ROM with full wipe
-*- Start ROM Cleaner AROMA and pick "ROM Cleaner"
-*- Pick "Sense" or "NO-Sense" script, press Next
-*- "NO-Sense" users will get a launcher menu and the option to use HTC lockscreen or AOSP lockscreen
-*- Next menu is optional (should be pretty clear)
-*- Press Next again and wait until ROM Cleaner is done
-*- Press Reboot and use your phone like normal
Skip cleaning step
If you use this option, nothing will be removed and you will still be able to restore your apps.​
Additional Scripts​
Important Note: Use this menu only after a full boot!
* Settings Restorer > This script will restore data already saved with Backup Tool
* HTC Setup Wizard Remover > This script will remove the HTC Setup Wizard. IT's pointless to have once your phone is set up
* Apps & Mods Installer > This is a batch install script. Apps, mods, files in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/SecondBoot will be installed when you use this script
* Run All scripts in one GO! > This is a batch install for all scripts in this menu​
Logs Collection​
Use this option when we request logs from you.
This script will collect all needed logs + "*user.txt" and create "RC_LogCollector.tar" in ROMCleaner folder. Upload this file and send it to us on XDA or IRC.​
Advanced Power Menu​
In this menu you will find the following options:
* Reboot your device
* Exit to Recovery
* Reboot to Bootloader
* Enable Mobile Network​
How To Edit Your Personal User.txt​
Steps you need to do:
--- Windows users, download Notepad++ and install it.
--- Download "ROMCleaner_user.txt" or "NO-Sense_user.txt" from the firstpost
--- Open the text file with Notepad++
In the text file you will find two columns with app names and a description in this guide we use AdobeReader.apk as an example.
To Remove a file with ROMCleaner
Code:
AdobeReader.apk Adobe Reader PDF reader
In the case above "AdobeReader.apk" will be removed.
To keep a file with ROMCleaner If you decide to keep it, add a "#" at the beginning of the line:
Code:
[COLOR=Red]#[/COLOR]AdobeReader.apk Adobe Reader PDF reader
Let's say we are done with the edits. To continue just complete next list:
--- Press the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen to save the changes.
--- Copy the file onto your sdcard. The file must be located in "/sdcard/ROMCleaner" folder.
Now ROM Cleaner script will always read that file!​
Easy?
Yes? Good because this is and should be easy ​

Hi thanks for the work. This tool sounds very interesting and would like to try it out. Does this mean I do not need to be rooted or have the s-off to try this? Apologies for the noobish questions. Still learning and all new coming from the s2 forums

I tried v.1.0 with ARHD 1.2 and after flashing it I got (Nothing was removed by Rom cleaner.
When the Rom first boot I found that some apps have gone and other not.
Here are the apps that still installed:
Facebook
Twitter
Google maps

Requirements: 4EXT or CWM Recovery
Deodexed ROM. We are working on a version that will handle *.odex files as well.
If you use a Stock ROM that means you have odexed ROM.
ROM Cleaner will only remove apk files and not odex files at the moment.
You need a custom recovery installed so you will be able to flash ROM Cleaner.
I do recommend you to flash a custom ROM before using any of these tools.

If that is true, I would like to have some logs from you located in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/logs, make a zip of all logs and upload them here.
But most likely this happened.
The apps you are mentioning is not removed by default ROM Cleaner, you need to download ROMCleaner_user.txt and remove "#" in front of those apps, and then just make sure you have copied ROMCleaner_user.txt to /sdcard/ROMCleaner before you flash ROM Cleaner v1.0
Just let me know if you encounter any issues.

You should never open the zip, this might end up in many strange issues. And we don't support that kind of edits since we can't control the outcome and it makes it much harder to track issues etc etc
For example if you by any chance is using wrong text editor (notepad++ is recommended) you might lose unix code and ROM Cleaner script won't be able to read the txt file.
How ever if you lose unix on ROMCleaner_user.txt the script will convert it to unix again.
ROMCleaner_user.txt is a big part of the script idea, and you will understand it better when we start to push updates.
Sorry if my post was complex
Every donation is much appreciated!!

Well, used rom-cleaner when updating to ARHD 1.2.1. Everything runs smoothly. Have edited romcleaner-user.txt to my needs and freed more than 190 MB.
So, great work

A Complete Noobs Guide​​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
​​
I cant make this any simpler for you.
TO HAVE A CLEAN ROM = JUST FLASH THE ZIP
TO USE YOUR OWN LIST PUT ROMCleaner_User.txt ON YOUR SDCARD IN
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner
Steps:
-Nandroid Backup
-Superwipe
-Flash Rom
-Without Rebooting Flash ROM Cleaner
-Reboot
Quick Start Guide
Ok, this is a quick start guide for those user who just want to flash and go.
The cleaner uses one of two text files located in the ROMCleaner folder on your SD card.
ROMCleaner.txt - This is the default cleaner list that the script will read from. This list will be placed on your card on the first run of the cleaner. It will be overwritten each time the cleaner is run to ensure the latest updates are applied.
OR
ROMCleaner_User.txt - This is your custom cleaner list. You can create this file at any time and the cleaner will automatically read from it.
File Locations:
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner.txt <--- This is the default list and will be created automatically
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner_User.txt <--- This is your personal list which you create.
Summary
In short, all you have to do is add text to a file and put apks into a folder.
Yes yes that simple.
You can even edit the text files and copy apks using just your device.
While we still recommend you use http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ to edit your list on a PC to maintain the UNIX encoding the cleaner will also double check and convert the file if it finds it has been converted to a windows format.
Folder Creator​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
We have created this small flashable zip to aid you in getting the cleaners directory structure setup.
It should only need to be run once before using but can be run at any time to completely recreate the structure. Any files or folders in place will not be harmed if flashing again.
The script contains a small reboot to workround a very small bug in some recoveries. This bug will not update the sdcards file view to show new folders.
This is to help us avoid the obligatory "I flashed the zip but it didnt create the folders" posts.
Creating Your Own List​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While the default list should be enough for most users, we have included the ability to define your own custom list for the cleaner to remove.
Creating your own list is as simple as adding files to a text file! This can be done a variety of ways, from an editor on your PC or via an editor on your Phone!
The easiest way to start your own list is to use the one attached to the first post.
Run the folder creator or create the following structure on you sdcard
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner_User.txt
As long as this file is present, the cleaner will read from it instead of the default ROMCleaner.txt.
To add to it all you have to do is add the apk file or folder you would like removed during cleaning.
Single apk files should just be listed while folders should be encased in quotes (" ")
Any item with a # in front of it will be ignored by the cleaner.
The cleaner will check BOTH the /system and /data partitions for any apk file named in the list and remove it if it finds it
Examples:
To add files:
Code:
UselessApp.apk
Simple as that
To add folders:
Code:
"/system/app/UselessFolder"
Ignored example:
Here, both the empty folder and UselessApp2 will be deleted while UselessApp1 will be ignored.
Code:
"/system/app/EmptyFolder"
#UselessApp1.apk
UselessApp2.apk
We have also included the ability to batch delete a certain filetype by using the following syntax -
Code:
"/path/to/folder/*.fileextension"
Heres an example from the default list to remove all .png images from the resources folder:
Code:
"/system/customize/resource/*.png"
The default ROMCleaner.txt also includes these instructions to help you start your own list.

Before ROM Cleaner(On Desire HD Running Sense 2.1)
After ROM Cleaner
As you can see, the default ROM cleaner script was able to save about 25 mb of RAM. The amount of RAM saved could be greater depending on what your remove. And remember that the Desire Z only has 512 mb of RAM so 25 mb is a substantial amount. Have Fun

i never get it how to remove or not some htc widgets with rom cleaner. i always use titaniun for unistalling. now im reading carefully to learn how to use it. thank you for your time!

Yea, when i first used this script a long time ago, i was really confused on how it all worked but i figured it out after some help on xda Basically it all comes down to customizing the script yourself on notepad+ and choosing what you want to remove and what you want to keep. It takes some trial and error but in the end its worth it

Hi there dcpathak!
If you look at the original thread HERE, you can find this in the ABOUT section:
* Fully compatible with Sense 3.0, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0 and AOSP ROMs with ICS
So I would suggest you go for the latest release of ROMCleaner v5.0r3. If you used it please report back. It would be highly appreciated

}
------------------------------------- UPDATE 2 -------------------------------------
hey guys this seems to be harder than I thought, but till now I manged to create a solid code to base my work on
and I'm thinking of "HOX-BOX" as a name for my baby, what do you think?
Done since Update 1
- ADDED: dynamic shell (context) menu for faster flashing .. including the choice to enable/disable it
- ADDED: an advanced detection system, far better then the simple "devices" known command, this tool will be able to detect a 100% accurate state of the device including (adb/mtp - mass storage/camera p2p - fastboot - connected with no drivers - current drivers version - the path for the mass storage)
This toke me 2 days of hard work and it's based on the detection of system Drivers/Vendor ID status, so it can't go wrong
- ADDED: advanced model detection command before flashing to prevent wrong flashes
- IMPROVED: Interface and logging
- INCLUDED: HTC Drivers 32 and 64-bit adb/fastboot
- INCLUDED: USBDeview (helps with retrieving HTC's vendor IDs and Product IDs)
- IMPROVED: data size by removing unnecessary platform tools
Still Struggling with
- Live Stats
Normal stats are OK and ready but keeping the CPU stats alive is making the software unstable, I'm still working on this
- Drag n' Drop handlers
- Flashing a ROM through PC
haven't really gave it the time yet, i'll be looking into it as soon as I stabilize other current commands.
------------------------------------- UPDATE 1 -------------------------------------
The Tool Is now under construction
I Finished the following so far
- UI main Menu
- INCLUDED: platform-tools_r16.0.1-windows
- INCLUDED: 7z.exe and 7z.dll (to flash boot.img without user interference)
- One Click Flasher for kernels and recoveries is now ready (CWM, TWRP and BOOT)
- Logging system that creates user-friendly (humand readable) logs and Advanced Log that lists command and their returns
Now Working on
- Live stats about battery and processor
- a 100% PC based flash code you just plug in your HOX, select a ROM , and the tool will transfer it to the SD, flash it in recovery, erase cache and delvik, do selected wipes and flash the boot.img
this is a tricky process but I have all the info I need , and now I'm on it
------------------------------------- OP -------------------------------------
Hey Guys
Lately I've been thinking of Creating a Tool that works with PC to make common tasks easier
I have a good experience in programming/ui/animation/batches
The Tool is basically an AIO TOOLBOX for our One X (for now)
I have some Ideas , but I need some feedback before Starting
it will be User-Friendly.. Noob proof and really well themed
WHAT I HAVE IN MIND
• basic functions
- mode detection
- get device props (CID, Mainver, Current ROM, Free Space, Model and so)
• Includes
- fastboot environment
- latest drivers
- SU flashables
- recovery Images
• Commands
- help connecting your device by installing the drivers automatically, detect the current mode (and enable/disable options based on the mode)
- help with the bootloader unlock
- flash boot.img (even if not extracted) you can just select the ROM zip and the tool will extract the boot and flash it automatically
- flash recoveries
- push (transfer) files using adb (even if stuck in recovery) without writing any code (WYSIWYG), just choose files and click push
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
(Done!) 1. should I do this? .... does it worth the time, or there is similar tools
2. if you think I should do it, should it have more features (than the mentioned above) , and please name them with details if possible
3. suggest a name for the tool
I have the ability to integrate any fastboot/adb command you can think of into the UI, with a nice animated design
but I can't do miracles such as unlocking the phone without the help of (HTCdev) or S-OFF your device, so please don't request such things

Re: I need your thoughts - The Ultimate HOX ToolBox
1. Definitely you should do it! (although there is toolkit which can unlock bootloader and flash a recovery already) More advanced features would be welcome!
2. A few things:
Maybe fetch a RUU automatically based on main version from
BugsyLawson's server
or
ruu.androidfiles.org and automatically install it.
A tool that fetches a firmware zip based on cid and flashes it.
Adb shell
Boot repacker
3. NoobKit-9000

- Communicating with servers and downloading is a tricky thing, they would have to work with me for this
if I get enough help from them , I Would deferentially do it.
but at the very least I will include a guide that will tell you the exact name of the RUU/Firmware that needs to be downloaded (maybe even search for it)
- adb shell .... Will Do :good:
- boot Repacker ... I have to do some more reading about this, but I think I can do it :good:

Re: I need your thoughts - The Ultimate HOX ToolBox
Like the idea of a nice clean tool.
I haven't felt the need to root or flash yet, but as there is no s-off yet the process seems slightly more involved than it was for my old Desire, so it is a bit off putting. If there are tools that can help - will use them.
I know that sounds noobish - and it is

Re: I need your thoughts - The Ultimate HOX ToolBox
Great idea, I initially used a toolkit when first flashing mine but it's nice to know what your actually doing to your phone and I have since learnt all the commands. So my request is to somehow show the user what your automating so they understand what's going on with their phone. Maybe like a log/command type window that can be shown or hidden for those that want to see what's happening.
Cheers

[TOOL][Windows/Theming] BatchAPKTool

As seen on the front page: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/streamline-your-app-theming-with-batchapktool/ (Thanks nikwen and Will!)
I never was overly happy with available solutions/tools/scripts for theming. So, over time my collection of homegrown batch scripts grew... and now I made a menu interface for them to collect them in a (for me, at least) logical manner. I'm gonna put them up here, maybe some people might find them useful.
BatchAPKTool differs from other Apktool/Smali-manager scripts in a few ways. It doesn't do everything everybody might find useful in a script, but it gets basic things done really fast and really neat. Where it makes sense, several working steps are combined into one command. BatchAPKTool is not a monolithic script. You can use the main menu script (!0-batchapktool-menu.bat), or you can simply click the various single scripts to get stuff done, which is usually the fastest option. There aren't a lot of folders to keep track of - everything is basically done in the root folder of the script. Just drop some APKs there and get going. BatchAPKTool automatically makes backups of the original files. And, of course, the name of the script comes from the fact that you don't select a single APK file to work with, but everything is done in batch (it's the user's responsibility to not mix system and user apps when signing/pushing/installing APKs).
On first startup the script checks if Java is installed on the computer, and sends you to the Java website if not. It also pulls the framework from your device and installs it for Apktool. After that you're good to go. The frameworks are tagged, so one can easily switch when developing for different devices.
The main menu (orange font) shows everything in order that's needed for theming system APKs. Basically, just go from option 1 to option 6 (or 7) and be done. The additional options (red font) contain features one might need as well - options 1 to 3 for non-system apps - but not as often as the main menu ones. Options 4 to 6 are just some 'internals'. It's all pretty self-explanatory, methinks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Prerequisites are - besides Java - a custom recovery like TWRP that can mount partitions (for pushing system apps), and of course USB debugging enabled, ie. a working ADB connection.
I probably packed some safety checks in the scripts that might break operation on certain systems. Bug reports are welcome.
Tools included:
7za v9.20
aapt v0.2
adb v1.0.31
apktool v1.5.2
DeflOpt v2.07
jpegoptim v1.2.2
OptiPNG v0.7.4
signapk [?]
Stripper v1.5.5.60
zipalign
(I didn't include PNGOut for optimizing images, since it is extremely demanding, even on modern hardware... but one can easily add it to the toolchain.)
Changelog:
v1.01 Streamlined some functions, more (in)sanity checks, better integration of framework switching function
v1.00 Initial release

Yeah, that's a dilemma - the URL for the JRE direct download link is dynamic (the "1880261" part), changes with each new version. So the script would have to be constantly updated (or some really sophisticated URL crawler implemented). The lazy-but-safe way of linking to the index page is probably the best I can offer. Or maybe it's safe to link to the root JDK/JRE download page (which seems to have a fixed URL), and tell people that the JRE is enough, no need to get the JDK.

THANK YOU
Great tool. Im currently working on my dialpad theme. Great find! :good:
