PLEASE READ OP​
This is the work of @gharrington and the 3Minit Team, please see the original thread HERE, or HERE, I only compiled for users that are unfamiliar with the use of apktool, head over to his thread and thank him if you haven't already!
This will give you the option of choosing between over 1100 different battery images on the FLY without a Reboot!!!​
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Screenshots - Informational, Tips, and Tricks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take Full Advantage of 3Minit. You can adjust the size of the battery in the settings menu by changing the offset. Experiment and have fun!!
---------------------------------
How To Install:
---------------------------------
Method 1 :
1. Download the free or paid version zip file for your specific ROM
2. Reboot phone into TWRP
3. Wipe Dalvick Cache / Cache
4. Go To Install
5. Flash Zip
6. Reboot and Enjoy
Method 2 :
1. Download the zip file for your ROM in download section
2. Extract the LGSystemUI.apk and MinitBatteryResources.apk from the zip
3. Copy these 2 files to your phone
4. Navigate to /system/app with Root Explorer
5. Create a folder named MinitBatteryResources and set folder permissions to rwxr-xr-x or 0755
6. Copy MinitBatteryResources.apk inside of that folder

8. Navigate to /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI
9. Copy the modded LGSystemUI.apk attached to this post
10. Set permissions to rw-r-r or 0644 (If it reboots before you can do that, just set permissions after pgone reboots)
11. Reboot phone and hopefully you are good to go!
-----------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION: USEFUL INFO - DON'T IGNORE - (KEEP IN MIND I USE THE PAID VERSION SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT FREE ONE DOESN'T HAVE
If the battery seems small, you can change the offset to make it larger so it's not so tiny you can't see it. The Offline batteries that are included, they seem to be perfect size all together. Just tinker around with it, that's just the size I use
For Batteries that you download by Colourable, You have to move the slider down to zero on Battery Text Colour or a percentage will be over top of that battery. Additionally, the mid level color I set to zero or else it will turn yellow at 50%. I turn it to zero and I actually use the 25% slider. You can put them all to zero if you like and the battery will do what it is meant to do. This only applies to the Colourable one's. The slider will not even adjust for different Batteries. See the Screenshot below
**Please report any issues you have...in a kindly manner

---------------------------------
HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF
---------------------------------
If you want to do this yourself, you will need to have a deodexed ROM that you are working with. If you know how to deoedex that's good for you, but if you are not able to do that, and the ROM is not deodexed, then you are out of luck. There are smali files that you need to add to the system ui which are only found in deodexed APKs
Recommended Tools: Notepad ++, Advanced APK Tool, 7zip
1. You need to download the Smali FIles for APK Tool 2.x.x which can be found at http://www.3minit.com/
2. From Root Explorer - Copy Your LGSystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and lge-res.apk to your SD Card
3. Pull LGSystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and lge-res.apk off your phone and on your Computer
Extremely Important (Note: Use 7zip to extract META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml to Desktop before you decompile)
4. Install the Framework and decompile your LGSystemUI.apk (This requires Decompile knowledge - You should know what I am talking about)
5. Once decompiled, navigate to res/layout/system_icons.xml and open with notepad ++
6. Find:
Code:
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
and
Code:
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Note: These values may not be an exact match, doesn't matter
Change both values to
Code:
android:layout_width="[COLOR="Red"]0.0dip[/COLOR]"
and
Code:
android:layout_height="[COLOR="red"]0.0dip[/COLOR]"
7. Hit enter and directly underneath that line add:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.MinitBattery android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Code:
[COLOR="red"][/COLOR]
8. Save your work and close notepad ++
9. You now to need to navigate to smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy folder
10. Copy the 4 smali files into that policy folder
11. Time to recompile the LGSystemUI.apk
12. Once Compiling of LGSystemUI.apk is complete, open archive with 7zip (DON'T EXTRACT)
13. Delete META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from newly compiled LGSystemUI.apk
14. Add the originals from Step 3
15. Download the 3Minit_Battery_free_Insert_ROM_NAME_HERE.zip or 3Minit_Battery_paid_Insert_ROM_NAME_HERE.zip (This will be your Flashable Zip)
16. Use 7zip to open ROM_NAME_HERE.zip and navigate to system/priv-app/LGSystemUI
17. Drag the Newly Compiled Completed SystemUI.apk into system/priv-app/LGSystemUI
18. Your Zip can now be flashed... Name the Zip whatever You want!!
Don't worry, if you need help because you are having issues, post your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and give me the exact ROM and version you are running so we can help. I make no promises.
I am also not teaching how to Deodex or Decompile an APK....You must have knowledge in that area to do this...Good luck

Good work! :thumbsup:

Hey I Wanted To See If U Could Do The Mod For THe Deodexed 6.0 rom We Have This Is The Link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/rom-v10h901v20estock-customized-t3360240
I Tried Doing It My Self But Not Too Much Experience In Compiling And Decompiling

Can work on V10_H901_V20J_Stock_Custom_2e ????

Is there anyway you could do this for the latest stock 20L? I understand the process, but in years past could never successfully deodex a whole Rom .

Sweet! Got this to work on my rooted LG V10 Verizon VS990, LMY47V, VS99011B. ?

After a long hard battle with Deodexing the odex file, I finally got it set. If anyone needs the zip to flash LGSystemUI for the latest version of 20L let me know. I am planning on uploading it and posting the link here. The instructions for this thread were great! I am just glad after 2 days of struggling with Odex file I am done!
The work was worth the payoff!!!

That's all ! You have a stock customROM fully deodexed, signed and zipaligned
PS : You should change the Kernel for the CF-Root Kernel (CWM Manager ...) changing the zImage with the zImage from ChainFire CF-Root
PS 2 : You can add some apps (like Titanium backup) in the /data/app folder of your customROM
EDIT 1 : The deodexed browser.apk obtained will be bugy : Lag scrolling
Since pulser_g2 found the FIX, DEVs used an old deodexed browser.apk (from KE2 ROM for example).
So pulser_g2 foung the FIX, in order to avoid this Lag trouble using the last deodexed browser.apk (KF2 for example). You can see the How To FIX yourself the laggy browser.apk following advices from pulser_g2 in the changeLog of 07/03/2011.
EDIT 2 : just added a zip of an META_INF folder witch can be used for update over a previous deodexed customROM with same signature (a previous ROM built with the same script).
With this META_INF, you will not loose any data/cache
Credits :
Thanks to drphrozen for sgs2toext4.jar and sgs2converter.jar tools
Thanks to xeudoxus for his custom java.awt.jar (deodexing some apks without errors)
Thanks to Okarin for his Deodex script
Thanks to Pulser-g2 for the laggy Browser Fix
Thanks to omrij for showing us an alternative to _Kit_Deodexage : AutoDeoTool (see below)

Click to collapse
ChangeLog of the HOW TO :
07/04/2011 :
* Switch bugy sgs2converter.jar to new sgs2toext4.jar from drphrozen
* Re-Add the Convert_sgs2img.exe tool to extract .img to .ext4.img (end of post)
CMD command :
Code:
Convert_sgs2img.exe factoryfs.img factoryfs_ext4.img
07/02/2011 :
Modification of _Kit_deodexage.zip in order to add the custom java.awt.jar from xeudoxus
07/01/2011 :
Add the new version of drphrozen sgs2converter.jar, available HERE
Now you just need to double click on the sgs2converter.jar, without opening any CMD promt command.
You drag and drop your stock .img file and the tool will convert it in <inputname>.ext4.img in the same folder

[/QUOTE]
BONUS :
To personalise your customROM, you can change the name of the ROM shown in Parameters > Version number :
with Notepad++, open the file "\Custom_ROM GS2 by sicOpaT\system\build.prop" and look for the line beginning with : "ro.build.display.id=" (often the 4th). Example : ro.build.display.id=GINGERBREAD.XXKF2
Replace everything after the "=" with what you want. Example : ro.build.display.id=SicOpaT's ROM KF2
Then save the file

Thanks for the infor .. but what does the " - CWM GS2 Skeleton ROM (wype script) : Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT.zip" do ??
anyway of getting a step by step guide.
Thanks

I've used Ubuntu until now... Testing this one

got the same problem, i took deodexed ones from other deodexedROM

Couldn't flash using cwm (maybe battery low, don't know)
better luck tomorrow I guess

How does the script take care of the Linux file permissions in Windows?

Thanks for the info.

That was some info which i was looking for the last few weeks, but mostly ended in apps that didn't work for everything.
Gonna give it a shot tomorrow.
Thnx for the info.

very well defined and this will sure help some newcomers to build thier own custom roms. you deserve a star from me !!

Thanks for this Guide!
1.) The last step would be to put the new CustomRom Folder to a Zip and flash via CWM?
...or is it a problem with signing then?
EDIT: you have to put the files back into the original ZIP!
2.) why do we have to put cache.img and modem.bin to the customrom root folder?
Thanks

Flashed via cwm 4.0.2 -> Bootloop :/
No modifications done at the moment

Yes you have to create an update.zip archive with all in your CustomROM root folder

No you have to put :
- zImage (your kernel)
- modem.bin (phone part in ODIN)

I have forgotten wype.sh in the /system folder of the skeleton customROM.
The wype.sh will wype everything in the /data folder in order to prevent bootloops
I reuploaded the CustomROM GS2 with the wipe.sh

Thanks! Works now

i am running per instructions, trying to deodex KF2 rom. but i face problem at the deodex/sign/zipalign. after running the script file, there are still a lot of files in the "app" and "frameworks" directory. what am i doing wrong?
edit: 2nd round works, no idea why?? but left email and mobileprint, and as per you suggestion get it from another deodex rom.

This is EXACTLY the thing i was looking for since getting my SGS2 this week.
Wanted this since the Hebrew/RTL routine fixing i did on other devices needed deodexed ROMs to work (modifies framework.jar/libwebcore.so).
I'll give it a shot today or tomorrow and report back.
Either way, THANK YOU very much for the effort!

I know this is a stupid question, but where can i find my factoryfs_out.img iv done the cmd bit but cannot find the factoryfs_out.img to mount??

Ok guys , as we all know we have 16 bit color display , and that is our "big" problem.I decide do something with this , and i trie to correct saturation in pictures ,and i understand - "this is it" .
After a 2 week hard coding i proudly present : SATURATOR.
What is it?
This app resaturate png\jpg pictures:
Resaturate png\jpg pictures in apk.
Resaturate your favorite wallpaper.
Resaturate your favorite cyanogen mod 7 themes (apk).
Resaturate your favorite MIUI themes (mtz).
Resaturate ROM!
How to use:
You must install java!!!
i recomended use jre 6.27 x86.
Download "Saturator".Extract "Saturator" folder to root of your hard drive (of course you can try another path BUT I STRONGLY RECOMMENDED PLACE SATURATOR FOLDER TO ROOT OF YOUR HARD DRIVE).Inside saturator folder you can find some files and folders, But we will use:
rom-apk folder - there we will place our files for processing.
iconer folder - you can place your templates for Iconer here.
saturator.ini - there you can change some information.
saturator.exe - it is app itself.
DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING IN THE SATURATOR FOLDER!!!
GUI Interface:
Elements:
Modes - apktool - this mode use apktool for reenginering apk files.
Modes - zip - this mode use rar for unpacking ,and 7zip for packing apk.
Saturation - there you can choose your saturation - use values from 0 to ...what you want.Type your value here and press enter.You will see changes on the picture with "HTC" label
IconerN - use iconer feature in "detect by name" mode.
IconerWH - use iconer feature in "detect by widht and height" mode.
prop-on - this is a proportion for iconer.Change this value and press enter.You will see the chages on picture above.Do not remember choose a template first from list below.
Modes
APKTOOL - apktool will be used for reenginering apk.This mode more accurate then zip mode,BUT in this mode NOT ALL APK CAN BE PROCESSED.So use it ONLY when zip mode fails.
ZIP - rar and zip will be used for reenginering apk.I recommended use this mode.
Iconer
This feature allows you modify icons while processing pictures.See this post for screens.
There is a 2 modes for file processing:
IconerN - Icons will be detected by names in 2 values (by default defined 1 value - icon).You can change values in the saturator.ini, there is a 2 parameters:
icname - icon name variant 1
icname2 - icon name variant 2
By default icname=icon.That means when pictures are processing and file name contain "icon" - iconer will be used.So if you change this value to...browser, for example, the name of file that contain word "browser" will be processed by iconer.
If you also define the icname2 , both of them will be used.Example:
icname=icon
icname2=ic_launcher
files that contain "icon" and "ic_launcher" will be processed by iconer:
.....\com_android_camera_ic_launcher_gallery.png - this file will be processed, because it contain ic_launcher.
.....\com_android_camera_icon_gallery.png - this file will be processed, because it contain icon.
.....\com_android_camera_ic_gallery.png - this file will be not processed, because it not contain ic_launcher and icon.
IconerWH - Icons will be detected by width and height.There is a 2 values for that in saturator.ini (if icwh1 and icwh2 are defined,both of them will be used ):
icwh1 - by default this parameter is defined =48
icwh2 - by default this parameter is defined =72
That means when files are processing and the width and height of picture equal icwh1 or icwh2 - iconer will be used.
I recommended to you use this mode,because almost icons are 48x48 on hdpi,and 72x72 ldpi.
If you want to use your own template for iconer:
Place your templates in iconer folder.The file MUST BE IN PNG FORMAT.height and width of your choice,there is no restriction, but in reasonable aisles.
Saturator.ini
The file in the saturator folder , and you can change (if you want and when you know what are you doing ) this parameters:
icname
icname2
icwh1
icwh2
do not touch anything else!!!!because all other parameters change automatically from the GUI.
restrictions
Restriction by paths:
For APKTOOL mode:
YOU MUST PLACE YOUR APK FILES IN ROM-APK FOLDER WITHOUT SUBFOLDERS:
rom-apk\myapp.apk - OK.
rom-apk\ANYfolder\myapp.apk - wrong.
For ZIP mode:
NONE
Restriction by names of files:
NON ENGLISH SYMBOLS:
rom-apk\com.android.myapp_v1.2.3-1.apk - OK
rom-apk\программа.apk - WRONG.
Apk files CAN CONTAIN ANY SYMBOLS.
Apk files CAN CONTAIN SPACES - They will be renamed automatically:
rom-apk\my app.apk will be renamed to rom-apk\myapp.apk.
PLACE AND GRAB YOUR FILES ONLY TO\FROM ROM-APK FOLDER!!!SATURATED FOLDER - IS A TEMP FOLDER!!!THAT FOLDER AUTOMATICALLY DELITING ON PROGRAMM START.SO AFTER PROCESSING ARE FINISHED YOU CAN SEE THE CHANGES IN THIS FOLDER.BUT THE FILES YOU NEEDED - IN THE ROM-APK FOLDER!!!!!
soon I'll make FAQ with examples.....
Download v1.2
http://www.multiupload.com/J5D0RVSNHK
You also can try my own resaturated version of Typhoon 3.6.8/3.6.9 rom.See details here.
Please feedback to me how it works for you.
OLD VERSION
for easy understanding how it works see video tutorial:
http://www.multiupload.com/VKC3ZHAWW5
Video tut on youtube (thanks to sajin1):
Small explanations:
All files you want to processed you must place in rom-apk dir,and grab it back from that dir.
Saturated folder - is a temp folder for processing pics ,this folder automaticaly deliting on program starts.
saturator.ini - this is a configuration file for saturator, in there you can change saturation 0 - colorless, 0 -... i don`t no limitation, i allways use 1.6
saturatorAmode - in this mode apktool uses for repacking apk - this mode needed in some cases when zip mode not work,in this mode more accurate and safely,but NOT ALL apk can be processed.And there is a limitation in path to apk:you need to place apk files in rom-apk dir WITHOUT subfolders , example - if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\app\xy.apk - YOU get NOTHING, but if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\xy.apk - it should be fine.
saturatorZmode - use zip\rar for repacking apk,in this mode you can processed ALL APK,MTZ....and everything is packed with zip , and there is NO limitation in path to apk.
Download V1.0
http://www.multiupload.com/FNF7W4ALWY
Download v1.1
http://www.multiupload.com/ZQ4CNZMDCY
I hope our devs use this app !!!
I realy never go back on non resaturated rom - because it looks great!.You can trie it by yourself and see how much diferent between non and resaturated roms,apps,pics.If you don`t see a diferent - you are blind!!!
Will be force with you.
Enjoy!
Sorry for my bad english.
For moders - because this app is relevant to nand rom`s ,i decide to create thread in nand section.Please don`t move it.

I was just going to try this out but discovered the following problem:
I've pushed the whole system/apps/ folder to rom-apk dir and executed SaturatorZmode.
The .apk files now in "saturated" folder arent .apk files anymore, but folders named as XYZ.apk see here:

you want example? ok.
I do not have permissions from langtang , but i think he will be not gainst about this (if so i remove it ):
This rom MIUI v27.1 from langtang
I`ve do not any changes in this rom, i`am use z mode on this rom with saturation=1.6 ONLY.
ok.here we go:

you need grab apk files back from rom-apk dir and replace it in original rom.if you do all exactly how on video tutorial you have no problem with this.
If you want resaturate some cm7 theme:
place your apk theme file in rom-apk dir, next start saturatoramode (apktool) and wait untill its finished.grab your new theme from rom-apk dir.install.enjoy.
for example:
this is a mixer theme you can find original thread in android themes forum, it is sense like theme.
download
http://www.multiupload.com/R6IZA40LT4
again - i do not any changes in this apk , there is only resaturated images.
it is working great! trie it.

What mode do you use? If you use saturatorAmode you need to place apk files in rom-apk dir WITHOUT subfolders , example - if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\app\xy.apk - YOU get NOTHING, but if you put xy.apk in ...rom-apk\xy.apk - it should be fine.
saturatorZmode do not have this limitation, you can place your files with subfolders like a ..rom-apk\app\xy.apk.

What version of windows? Are you have java sdk installed?
Oh....i think i know what is the problem(maybe),on your screenshot you have path this contain 2 saturator folder,just place saturator folder on root of your hard drive and that`s it.

First of thanks for your contribution and making our lives easier.
I have tried to use your app without succes, as mentioned in previous posts all seems to go well but just like others i end up with all apk`s extracted in the saturated folder and the rom-apk folder is empty. Would it be possible this is because of Windows 7 64?
Edit: in SaturatorAmode things seem to work, however when i repack the build with changed apk`s i start missing a lot of apps in the build. The SaturatorZmode doesn't seem to work at all leaving extracted apk files in the saturated folder.

Any way to resaturate a NAND backup that we can then restore so we don't need to reinstall everything?

my wallpaper before and after
thanks a lot! Flashing tytungs nexus rom saturated ;D hope it works
Edit:
Bootloop, damn it

Saturatorzmode... Doesn't do another ng it just stays a extracting for hours.... And when I use SaturatorAmode each and every of my all file goes missing.... What am I doing wrong please help me out?? ... Only way to enhance my pics is to copy the pics it self

I made this guide because I've found that a lot of us doesn't satisfied with our current custom ROM. Please don't bully the dev to make a rom with our personal preference. You may follow this guide instead to modify the custom rom to suit with your personal taste. I hope I could make it as simple as possible so all of us so even a new android user could understand. Please make sure you've read this guide throughly before make any modification.
Please note that this is just a simple guide. You won't find any guide about theming a rom here. Please refer to another guide about uot kitchen or apk modification.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tools:
1. a custom rom (to be customized) or stock rom.
2. 7zip or another similar program
3. apk files
4. dsixda kitchen (not mandatory)
5. apktools (not mandatory)
6. titanium backup (not mandatory)
7. CWM.
First of all, extract your custom rom. You'll see that the custom rom's zip file contain several files and folders. Some of them are common and could be find in almost all custom rom. The files and folders are:
1. meta-inf : contain the script needed to install the rom (don't touch it if you don't understand about scripting nor dsixdia kitchen).
2. system : contain the system files and folder of the custom rom
3. boot.img : the kernel used in the custom rom
4. additional file : (eg:install-busybox, check-data and bmlunlock) additional file contain scripts needed to install additional feature (eg: busybox, additional app in data/app, and install custom kernel) in the custom rom.
NOTE: you can start from either stock or custom rom. If you start from stock rom, use CWM to make nandroid backup, then extract the system.rfs.tar. That's the system folder that we need later. You'll need installer script from other custom rom to make your rom installable to other device. In my past experience, the script form hybrid 2.1 or myss 3.4 is easy to use. I'd like suggest use them if you only want a light customization (without custom kernel, init.d script, or a2sd support.)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you don't know much about them, don't touch anything but system folder. now, open the the system folder. You'll see a lot of folders and some common files. Leave CSC files and SWconfiguration intact if you don't know about them. You can edit build.prop to insert more build.prop setting or modify the content if you understand how to do it. To change the rom's name, edit the value for 'ro.build.display.id'. You may also change the value for 'ro.build.version.release' to any number like 9.9.9 if you want to show off your modified custom rom
I'll give a quick explanation about the folders in /system.
1. app : contain all the system's app
2. bin : contain the command and bin files for the rom (don't touch it)
3. cameradata : camera files
4. csc : csc files. contain dictionary for the keyboard
5. etc : additional setting and files for the rom
6. font : the fonts
7. framework : system's framework
8. lib : drivers, modules, kernel related files for the rom
9. media : media files-ringtones, notification
10. sd : folder created by a2sd darktremor. (don't touch it)
11. usr : files needed for keyboard, bluetooth, etc.
12. xbin : additional command and bin files (busybox is normally installed here)(don't touch it)
13. T9DB: dictionary and language database for swype and stock keyboard
NOTE: if you start from stock rom, copy all the files under /system folder (the one from system.rfs.tar) except /system/bin and system/xbin. don't touch them.

now, you're ready to customize the rom. I'll divide the guide into several section. pass the section if you don't want to modify it.
>>> SYSTEM APP-CUSTOMIZATION <<<
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DEODEX VS ODEXED ROM. Most of custom rom available is deodexed rom while our stock rom is half deodexed rom. I'll try to explain it in most simple way. First of all, we should understand that mostly every app in android consist of three part, *apk files, *dex/odex files, and lib files.
ODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in same folder with the apk files (/system/app). the positive side, it consume less internal memory and a execute faster. the negative side, it makes the app uncostumizable (cannot apply custom themes) and need more space in system partition.
DEODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in /data/dalvik-cache. the positive side, the app can be themed (full customizable) and consume less system partition. we could put more app in /system/app in deodexed rom. the negative side, it consume a lot of internal memory. please be cautious with the internal memory space if you use deodexed rom. (NOTE: if you start from stock rom, you may use dsixdia to convert odexed to deodexed rom).
system app customization is easy. you can add or remove any app in /system/app folder as long as it fit with the space in sistem partition (220MB). if you start from stock rom, please be cautious to not remove essential app from the folder. you may see the app in hybrid rom v.2.1 to see which app is safe to remove or not (the spreadsheet document in this forum is gone. sorry). having ~20mb free space in system partition is a good thing if you want to make the rom more customizable.
NOTE:
1. not all apk could be placed in /system/app (especially keyboard app)
2. tw launcher file is named tw'xxxxx'launcher.apk. you may remove it if you have another launcher.
3. not all custom launcerh could be placed in /system/app. you may put the launcher from other custom rom to minimalize the risk.
4. for the app info reference, please refer to this link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AulpDQBL_oTOdDRIbnV5b0UyQTd0TDNZSFBKYXJ1blE&output=html
if anyone want to edit it please contact me.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
>>> THEME-CUSTOMIZATION <<<
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basicly, theme is easily changed by replacing systemUI.apk in /system/app and framework-res.apk in /system/framework. You may put theme from another custom rom or make for yourself from uot kitchen or make it by yourself with apktool. A high modified theme like dysmenorrhea is also modify some part in setting.apk and jobmanager.apk. and another app. Don't forget to delete the *odex file (for all changed app only)from /system/app if you start from stock rom.
NOTE: please be aware with the base firmware of the rom. make sure that systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files are from exact firmware version. I've found that theme for DXLA, DXLB, DXLC are exchangeable but you can't put theme from DXKL2 to DXLA or the reverse. to minimize any risk, please use themes only from exact same firmware.
>>> PERFORMANCE-TUNING <<<
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Performance tuning could be done in several ways. the easiest (proven works but risky) method is by edit build.prop file. I won't give you all the script. Feel free to search and apply the script with your personal preference. you can found in this forum or just copy from another rom. these script below is used to increase gprs/hsxdpa speed. this script is a common script and proven to be works in a lot of device. (I forgot the original source. sorry)
Code:
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
there are also some common tweaks for build.prop file. these are the one I always using in my rom.
Code:
#mod battery kats
debug.performance.tuning=1
pm.sleep_mode=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150
#mod performance
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
video.accelerate.hw=1
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
======
the second way, (little bit harder, but its still proven works) by create or modify some file in /system/etc. I'll give you some of them.
1. sysctl script-to increase internet speed.
make a new file in system/etc, name it 'sysctl.conf' (or edit if it already exist). put this script inside.
Code:
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 187000 187000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1
net.ipv4.route.flush = 1
net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0
net.core.rmem_default = 524288
net.core.rmem_max = 524288
net.core.wmem_default = 524288
net.core.wmem_max = 524288
its a common sysctl mod for linux based OS (I found it in another mod for another device but I forgot the source). you'll need busybox, and terminal emulator. to run it, type:
'su
'sysctl -p
in your terminal emulator (without ' symbol).
2. GPS mod-to make the GPS lock faster
this mod is based on zeusseuz's guide. please see this page for further information (the script is quite long) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552076
======
the last way...by init.d script. it only works in custom kernel. I won't put any script here. you should find by yourself. you can use make a file in init.d with there script to check if your kernel support init.d script.
Code:
#!system/bin/sh
touch data/kurotsugi_test.txt
set the both init.d folder and the file's permission to rwxrwxrwx (777)
if the script work, you'll find kurotsugi_test.txt in /data.

I'll only put the one I've tested and proven to be works.
1. beats audio
this is the old version but doesn't have FC issue. get the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526643
unzip. copy all the files into their respective folder
2. bravia engine
put be_photo and be_movie in system/etc folder then edit the build.prop file doesn't seems work. The real bravia engine mod is consist of
- be_photo, be_movie in /system/etc
- com.sonyericsson.android.SwIqiBmp.xml in /system/etc/permission
- com.sonyericsson.android.SwIqiBmp.jar in /system/framework
my megabassbeat mod contain these files. you can get it from there.
3. boot animation
download or get custom boot animation file from another custom rom or another source. rename it to bootanimation.zip, put it on /system/media.
you may check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548479
please note that DXLB rom doesn't support bootanimation. you need to put bootanimation and samsungani files from another rom (like hybrid) in /system/bin and replace all file in /system/lib with lib files from older firmware (DXLA or older)
4. boot sound
make or download boot sound. please make sure the format is *ogg. rename it to poweron.ogg then put it in /system/etc.
5. custom ringtones, notification,
make or download the sound file (in ogg format). put it in /system/media/audio/(respective folder)
6. disable boot animation (for quick boot)
put 'debug.sf.nobootanimation=1' in build.prop.
7. megabassbeats (better than beat bass)
you can get the file from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646406. you'll need to copy the files into its respective folder.
If you've done with the customization, enter the custom rom folder. select all the files then create zip file. to install the rom, copy to your sdcard, flash it either by stock recovery or CWM after wipe /data. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE FILES DOESN'T EXCEED THE LIMIT 220MB BEFORE ZIPPED.
This guide can be used if you want to make your own rom. if you start from stock rom, you may use this script (its from myss v.3.4) to install the rom. please make note that it will only install the rom, not the kernel. you'll still need the bin and xbin folder from custom roms in order to make it work.

DISCLAIMER:
1. do it with your own risk
2. please note that NOT ALL YOUR MODIFICATION WILL WORK. ROM modification is seriously hard thing. its not easy. thats why we should give the dev proper respect to them. you'll need a lot of research to make it work.
3. this guide is made for personal use only. don't publish the customized rom without permission from the original dev.

good work dude
have done a lot of homework lol

excellent work bro !!
very informative.....really appreciate your work
thanks alot .

Wonderful thread. Can you give tutorials on how to recompile framework-res.apk with apktools? I always end up with lots of warnings regarding translations and end up with an apk which is about half the size as the original. And lots of force closes once it is pushed

Sorry...I'm just a chemistry student and consider my self as a noob here. I never use apktool before and only use 7zip, notepadd++ and simpel graphic editor program to modify an apk files (only light theming). its a lot of simpler and easy for a mid user like me.

Very useful thread.Thanks
How can i confirm my init.d is working?is there any specific command for terminal emu :
su
init.d check (myb?) or with init.rc etc installed would be enough to prove it is working?
previously i tried init d-autorun-stock to my stock rom but not confident with tht method.Found [Script] init.d for STOCK ROM thread n member report its worked.
Thanks in adv.

thats a good question. please note that some of init.d script doesn't work in our device even if the script is running. stamatis's battery n performance script is one example. because of some script in init.rc (in kernel) it never change the value for RAM setting. to check the init.d script you may make a new file in init.d script. name it stest, put these script
\system\etc\init.d\99test
#!/system/bin/sh
touch /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
echo "done" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
these script is made by doky73. if the init.d script works, you'll find 'init.d_log_test.txt' file in /data/local/tmp/ . init.d scipts need busybox don't forget to install it in your device

Kurotsugi
What is the correct permission for 99test?is it same like the others=777?
no problem if i change through root explore right?my device deny the latest version
of busybox 19.4 is this due to old su binary?19.3 will do right?

yup...thats fine. as long as the system could read it, the script will run at boot (if only it really support init.d scipt). any busybox version is OK as long as you have the binary files needed (in this case echo and touch). in my past experience, only vivek's kernel proved to support init.d script. I forgot the version. but its the last version without CWM integration.

well...thanks for everyone here and this forum which help me learned a lot of stuff about android much faster. sgy is my first android device and I've only been using it for three months. with everyone help and information here I could make my own custom rom about one month ago. it sure nice to share about our sgy here :3

Wow! This seems really helpful and very useful thread. It gives me an eye opener.. Thanks!

The Goods​
About My Script:
I have been using and working on this script for sometime now, I started back when ICS first came out and we where no longer able to decompile apks in 1 step. All of the mods and things that I have posted on xda in the last year, have been made with this script. This script allows for editing those apks with a few buttons clicks. It can edit apks from any version of android. It has been posted on the Team Venum Forum and has been working for many of the Team Venum members.
With this script you will be able to:
Compile/decompile (Odexed and Deodexed) apks and jars
Make CWM zips of your projects
Flash and Push things to the phone
Make and install signed apk projects
Search decompiled apks
and much much more...
Sections:
Header bar: This displays the script info and current project.
AIO Tool: These are all options that you can use to mod. They will all be highlighted if they are available, otherwise they will be grayed out and have a short description why it’s not available.
Mid Section: 11 and 100 will always available. 11 allows you to choose your project from the “place-here-for-modding” folder. 100 will refresh the menu (usually for connecting/dis your phone).
Odex Section: These options will only be enabled if a phone is plugged in. The phone you are working with is needed for odexing and deodexing.
- 20 Deodex the entire ROM on your phone
- 21 Deodex just one apk or jar file
- 22 Odex the entire ROM on your phone
- 23 Odex a single file
Special Items section: These are portable apps and options.
- 91 Open Color edit. Allows you to visually view and change the color.xml file
- 92 Compile all .9 images inside the dot9 folder
- 93 MD5 Checker – Seldom used, handy to double-check MD5 to verify good file downloads.
- 94 Phone/Emulator – menu for phone and emulator choices.
- 95 Search tools – app to search inside smali or res files (ie textColor="#ffc0c0c0"). (Must have C++ runtime or PRGrep installed)
- 96 Open Notepad++ – best Windows/Android editor that has smali and log syntax highlighting tweek.
- 97 Color Wheel – color wheel with cool color drag and drop from anything feature.
- 98 Color Change – for smali only. Converts from hex to smali.
- 99 Options & Misc – set Header Bar options, clean folders and check logs, Sounds, and color theme for the Script.
- ** Exit the App – usually a better option for closing the Script because it closes the ADB running in the background.
I tried to designed this to make editing apks and doing things with your phone as easy as possible.

So please forgive the noobish question, but I've been doing some reading in preparation of trying to learn how to theme.
Could I literally create a theme for a TW Rom using this tool? I say SystemUI mentioned but not Framework, so I wasn't sure if I could create an entire theme using this tool or not.

You sir are the man! Thank you for such a great tool. :thumbup::beer:

Thanks for all your work to make it easier for us. Great Tools. :victory:

Working on a new version the last few days that will have the ability to, work with odexed ROMs. It will be able to make a flashable zip to deodex and odex the ROM. It will also be able to pull a file deodex it, then you can mod it. Then it will compile it, reodex it and push it back to the phone.
Still got a bit of work to do on it, but I wanted to see if there was interest in this, or if there was something else in regards to odexing that you would like to see added.

Yes you can mod any apk or jar with this. The only other thing you would need is some sort of image editor. Like photoshop or paint.net

Great concept. Are you sticking strictly with the apk's or will this script be able to deal the jar files as well for odex/deodexing?

Thanks, I'm going to use this as my starting point for making themes!

So the new AIO is almost ready. I have some people testing it out. What is everyone's thoughts about a free and a pro version for $1. The pro version would allow for batch odexing and deodexing of a rom in minutes with one click. The free version would still allow for editing and modding odexed files the same way we do deodexed now.
With this it will make it so there is no reason to have a deodexed ROM.
New things that have been added are
-odexing full ROMs
-deodexing full ROMs
-odexing and deodexing single files
-editing of odexed apks and jars with no extra steps
-making/restoring/deleting/and fixing md5 mismatch for nands
-Tons of optimized code
-Redone most menus for easier viewing
-More I am sure I am forgetting
Let mess know what you think. I would definitely like some opinions.

Since we don't have the newer FM Radio App in lineage-16 and because I don't like the "old" FM2, I recolored it for my needs
I made two flashable packages, one is the new themed FM2 and the other is the Stock FM2, if You don't like it.
INSTALLATION:
Reboot to installed TWRP
Mount ---> Select System
Install package
Reboot
Tested on my lineage-16 (20190530), might work on other AOSP Pie Roms with FM2.

It's the older FM Radio APP used in CM11/CM12 too, I never had RDS with it.
I guess the newer lineage/CyanogenMod FMRadio APP since CM13 has RDS?

Is it works with stock oreo?
I have TWRP installed on my phone...

No, I don't think so. These is for Pie Roms and fmradio lib should be enabled in kernel and "libqcomfm_jni.so" should be in /system/lib64. But it's always worth a try remember to backup files, that will be overwritten, "libqcomfm_jni.so" is attached, extract from zip file (rw-r-r in /system/lib64)

I use apktool:
extract FM2 and framework-res.apk from Your rom
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d FM2.apk
Important files are /res/values/color.xml and some in /res/drawable
Color is written in hex color code with transparency ahead: #ff000000 is black #ffffffff is white for example.
You can decompile my file and for Your needs it will be enough to edit /res/values/color.xml
Recompile: apktool b FM2 and don't forget to put Original META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml back in new compiled FM2.apk in /dist folder (I use 7zip Archive Manager to do that)
I'm actually on latest Stock Rom, but I can try later to make a dark version.

Wow, It is perfect!! I like your color idea!!
I did try to follow your way to change the color file with notepad .... but i think i did a mistake when i have to zip together with Androidmanifest and the folder META-INF ( which have inside 3 files: CERT.RSA , CERT.FS, MANIFEST.MF) instead of your version That have a folder META-INF --> com-->google-->android-->and here 2 files : updater-script and update-binary).
Then i miss also the folder named system--> app -->FM2 with apk inside. <--- But i think this folders i have to create.
I made a try but doesnt work.... and i see my radio.zip ( i made so many try) is too small compared with yours.... ( more than 1mb, mine about 650kb)
So im sure i did miss some step or i did something wrong....
Thanks again to helping me :fingers-crossed:

The files from /original in decompiled FM2 folder have to be added to the new FM2.apk in /dist folder. You can open .apk files with 7zip too, because it's an advanced .zip file. The META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml are necessary files in .apks.
The META-INF folder in flashing .zip files contains flashing script and binary to flash to correct directory for example.
You can use my FMRadio-themed.zip file as a template, if You want to. Just replace the FM2.apk in /system/FM2 folder.
I made a dark version, but it's a blind edition, could not test it on stock ROM, but it should work.
Structure of the .zip file for flashing:
/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
/system/app/FM2/FM2.apk
Structure of FM2.apk:
/META-INF/CERT.RSA

Good luck

The files from /original in decompiled FM2 folder have to be added to the new FM2.apk in /dist folder. You can open .apk files with 7zip too, because it's an advanced .zip file. The META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml are necessary files in .apks.
The META-INF folder in flashing .zip files contains flashing script and binary to flash to correct directory for example.
You can use my FMRadio-themed.zip file as a template, if You want to. Just replace the FM2.apk in /system/FM2 folder.
I made a dark version, but it's a blind edition, could not test it on stock ROM, but it should work.
Structure of the .zip file for flashing:
/META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
/system/app/FM2/FM2.apk
Structure of FM2.apk:
/META-INF/CERT.RSA
/META-INF/CERT.SF
/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
/res/...
AndroidManifest.xml
classes.dex
resources.arsc
Good luck

Thanks so much zitronenmelissa, i really appreciate your time for helping me, even if i could not see any changes. I tryed to flash using twrp, with original app, but no luck, then i tried hibernate ( deactivating) the original radio app and installing the zip, but nothing changed. In the end i uninstalled the original radio app and flash again your .zip but once again no luck.
Its strange, because im on Pixel experience now but before i was on RR Rom....
At least you helped me learning a little more about this apktool.
Thanks

Did You mount System first via twrp? In twrp ---> Mount ---> check on System? Otherwise it won't install to system ....

Sure, I can also post "my version" where i inverted your color theme.... the rds info are pretty easy to be readed . ( if you want i can post my .zip file)
This is your version:
This is my version:
I was wondering if were possible to change the white text radio info, into for example green.... I coded the color.xml and the station_info.xml, but i got an error if i only change the string white into green :
TextView android:textSize="16.0sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:textColor="@android:color/green" <-- instead of white

Works on LG G2 D802 with LineageOS 18.1? Thk

When I installed it through TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy S N7000 with Lineage OS 16 - there is no any icon for this radio, but in system\system I see FM2.apk
Why?
