Open Cramfs image for JF1.51 CRB43-US using Cygwin

OPEN CRAMFS WITH

}
SHELL...
I have finally figured out how to open or make Cramfs images using Cygwin. And it is much more easier to use then my previous thread on How to Theme JF1.51 CRB43-US using Ubuntu. If you don't believe me, take a crack at it. Themers get on your grind. Your going to laugh when you see how easy it is to do. I would have not continued to explore Cygwin option for Cramfs if it wasn't for Binary100 100 and the others that had problems with the Ubuntu way, like bboy_201. I didn't forget about you...
I hope that all of you guy/gals that were having trouble with the Ubuntu way, suceed with this method.
Complete Setup in 7 steps
1)Download and install Cygwin.
2)When you reach the select package menu open Devel.
3)Scroll down to the Cramfs and select 1.1-1 26k.
4)Click next to finish the setup.
5)Right click on the Cygwin icon on your desktop and click on Open file location.
6)Open the home folder. You will see your name there. Make a shortcut of your name and place it on your desktop.
**Everytime you open Cygwin, this will be your default folder**. This is why we placed it on our desktop.
7)Open the shortcut folder and hide the .bash_profile, .bashrc,and .inputrc folders(right click-->properties-->click Hidden). This is so that you have a clean folder to work with. You can rename this folder to help you identify it later.
Your setup is completed!!!
Now what???
Download the Theme template !!!
You MUST use the ORIGINAL files from the framework and app's folders of CRB43-US to prevent problems/foreclosers!!!
To easily open an image, you:
Place the framework.cramfs from the template in your shortcut folder.
Run Cygwin Shell and simply type:
Code:
cramfsck -x framework framework.cramfs
Now look in your shortcut folder, you will see a folder called "open" with all the framework folder files inside.
Now you can edit the framework-res.apk, Xml's, jar,etc...
Making your custom image is just as simple, when your finished modifying ,type:
Code:
mkcramfs framework framework.cramfs
Your new custom cramfs image is in the shortcut folder ready to be placed in the Update.zip
RichieDaze you are the man, now working on Windows Server 2003!
Great tutorial now I can port my theme for more users thanks!
What a wonderful tool you have discovered! Finally I can edit the ROM I want to use.
I prefer to use the "Tmobile" stuff just in case problems arise. Have been using ADP.
Thanks again for the super info and tut!

Cleanly edited and formatted for a more professional & minimal presentation of your mockup.
User-friendly, does not require much knowledge of Photoshop, works well enough in GIMP and other comaptible softwares.
PM me if you have any difficulties with the PSD or with any graphical problem, i'll reply asap. Make sure you check out the FAQ.
FAQs will be updated on the basis of problems users come across. I worked really hard on this, hope you guys like it.

FAQ:
1. Question: What is a PSD File?
Did you find a PSD file on your computer and wonder what program should open it? Maybe someone emailed you a PSD file but you're not sure how to use it. Perhaps you tried to open the PSD file but Windows told you that it could not open it.
Before you can open a PSD file (assuming it's even a file format that's intended to be viewed or edited), you'll need to determine what kind of file the .PSD file extension refers to.
Answer: A file with the PSD file extension is an Adobe Photoshop Document file.
Other types of files may also use the PSD file extension. If you know of any additional file formats that use the .PSD extension, please let me know so I can update this information.
2. Question : How To Open a PSD File ?
Answer : The easiest way to open a PSD file is to double-click on it and let your PC decide which default application should open the file. If no program opens the PSD file then you probably don't have an application installed that can view and/or edit PSD files.

[Q] [REQUEST] How to apply a different navbar to a CM11 theme engine?

You see, I am now using an android L theme on the new theme engine on PA BETA 1 but these navbar playstation icons bother me quite a bit. I much prefer the ones I use with softkeyz (no it doesn't work changing with it), the so called alternate android L's navbar.
Can it be themed manually or something? These ones to be more precise:
{
"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"
}
Anyone has a clue? Someone with experience on themes or knows how to do it.
I was exactly searching for this !
I got it! Had to edit the theme by decompiling and recompiling it back with the navbar icons I wanted. It is not that hard though.

so easy...change your theme apk file to zip format by renaming it.open with win rar and unzip it.you have some extracted folders and follow this:
assets<overlays<com.android.systemui<res<drawable-xxhdpi.in this folder looking for these PNG files like ic_sysbar_home,ic_sysbar_menu and etc. these are the themed ones for soft keyz.change them as you wish and remember your modification should respect the orginal png file size.anfter that surf back to the root of themed folders and rezip and sign it with some thing like signer app. done!:good:
