your best bet would be to grab the drawables from teds theme and copy them to the launcher from jacxrom ... ill try and make one and then post it if i get it ... i wont be able to test it so try at your own risk (just make a backup and you wont have anything to worry about)
EDIT: here it is ... its not an update.zip ... gotta push it or throw it into your own update.zip

thanks bro ill test it out tonight.
Sweet- got it installed. didnt even have to apply as update.zip
i took the same steps as installing the advanced launcher...
Installation
- Plug your USB cable into the phone and your computer
- Make a backup of your original launcher: "adb pull /system/app/Launcher.apk LauncherBAK.apk"
- Remount the /system filesystem: "adb remount"
- Unzip the advanced launcher "unzip Launcher_update_x.zip"
- Push the advanced launcher "adb push Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.apk"
- Remove the odex file "adb rm /system/app/Launcher.odex" - I DID THIS BUT IT SAYS NO SUCH DIRECTORY SO I JUST MOVED ON
- adb shell reboot.
i hope it is ok with you if i post this in the JACXROM thread.
Here is a screen showing what it looks like.

[MOD][KE7] Gingerbread Stock 1% Battery - May 22nd

Opening this new thread, because the other one got way too crowded with many different files and modifications.
It's only a small mod and is based on pendos gingerbread battery modification, which he posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13659496&postcount=71
Thanks for providing them.
So this is basically a stock-battery-indicator with the percentage numbers added and the charging animation being smoother. No CRT effect, no other icons changed.

Install instructions
with ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell start
with root explorer:
Code:
1. copy new framework-res.apk to /system/
2. change file permissions to rw-r--r-- (should be the same as for all files in system/framework -> check it!)
3. move new framework-res.apk to /system/framework/ and replace the old one
4. reboot
Copy your old framework-res.apk before doing anything, so you can go back if something goes wrong. You might encounter 2 or 3 force closes when replacing the framework. Click them away, finish the process (if you havn't already) and reboot the device. Everything should be fine from there on.

For me it works. Thank you!!

did not work on me,could not install it,got KE7

possible to integrate the crt effect as well? Thanks..

Thanks man it worked for me

How to install it???
I run it from "Root Explorer" and it says "application not installed"...
Do i have to copy it over the original "framework-res"???

Great thread, the other one "Greener SystemUI.apk" got way too messy. This could be a lot easier thread to look out for, given that people keep this strictly for the battery mods.
Any chance we could get a step by step guide for installing these mods in the first post?

I use Root Explorer to do all of this. Make sure you give yourself R/W to /system/framework & don't use the " "'s.
1. Copy Chalid's file to MicroSD card (you don't have to copy to your MicroSD, you can copy to sdcard if you want)
2. go to /system/framework & rename "framework-res.apk" to "framework-res.apk.old" (don't panic if you get some FC for some running apps)
3. go to /sdcard/eternal_sd & move "framework-res.apk" to /system/framework (don't panic if you get some FC's .......)
4. reboot
5. enjoy
remember to change the permission's to mimic the original "framework-res.apk".

Hi, worked for me but lost all my contacts. It seems that this process removes the Google sync account. After re-syncing all is well. Thanks!

Can this also been made for KE2?

I wanted to try pendos tutorial using adb on my pc:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell start
I've already copied my original framework-res.apk to sd card as backup. When I type adb devices it gives my serial number as expected, but when I type in adb remount it says operation not permitted.
I've already flashed ke7 and rooted using chainfires kernel which is all working without any problems. Any suggestions?

Without a valid framework-res.apk in /system/framework/, even for a couple of seconds you spend renaming the files, the google account syncs will be deleted. So better replace the file right from the beginning and backing up the old before that, instead of renaming it.

1) I suggest renaming der new one in .new first.
2) copy to /system/framework.
3) check/change permissions of .new
4) rename old one in .old
5) rename .new
ALexander

that way, the google account information will be deleted.

Works good. Thanks.

Please help ...
First of all: I am totally new in the world of Andriod.
I have not followed the instructions and now my SGS2 doesn't reboot. It got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen.
What have I done:
renamed original framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak
(I FORGOT to copy the new framework-res.apk to /system/framework )
reboot SGS2
it got stuck on first screen
What can I do now??? Can someone please help me out? Thx

Decided to buy root explorer and it worked perfectly! Thanks

[SCRIPT] shellpaste v0.4

This is a handy little shell script I wrote today that I used to copy files to /system/app folder. This is the first thing I ever wrote for Android so I don't know if anyone has any use for this but there ya go.

}
To use simply download the shellpaste.txt from below and rename it to shellpaste.sh. Put the file in the root of your SD card then go to android terminal and type the following:
Code:
sh /sdcard/shellpaste.sh
Changelog:
Code:
shellpaste v0.4
-now supports all folders not just /system.
-added chmod to actually make it useful. Thanks Tigger31337.
shellpaste v0.3
-cleaned up the code a bit.
shellpaste v0.2
-first release.

Thanks man this is very helpful for the things I do. Cheers.

Awesome! Hope it serves you well.

small scripts, medium tricks, big handy

Does this address permissioning after the file(s) are copied?
No offense, but yours seems like a rather convoluted method when you've got things like adb push or just drag and drop from the PC. If the apk is already on your phone, then you need only do a cut and paste to /system (with, say, Root Explorer) and then set permissions. Done.
Also, it's not very flexible. What if I want to copy to /data? Another script??

None taken. The script changes the permissions to r/w, copies the file, then changes it back to read-only. As I said, this was just a script I wrote to help me with what I needed to do at the time. Maybe I'll write a new version that supports any folder the user chooses.. I agree, it's not exactly an elegant solution but I'm a complete noob at this. You gotta start somewhere, right?
Edit: Also, I am completely open to feature suggestions. So if there's anything more advanced you guys would like to see in newer versions feel free to post. I'm using this as a tool to learn as much as possible.

I don't mean permissions at the f/s mount level, I mean permissions at the file level (i.e. chmod).
If you're copying an apk to /system/app, then eventually you'll need to chmod it to 644 before it will execute properly. Maybe I'm missing something, but copying an apk from SD card to /system isn't going to do this for you automatically.

I have a suggestion to your script
Example: I pushed a systemUI.apk in system/app folder through adb now when you look at your phone the statusbar dissappears, of course because of push, now can you make a script to rerun the apk or execute it, like mounting it dunno the exact word, so that you won't have to reboot your phone to see your statusbar again, instead just run it like windows run. This is usefull if your modding the APK.

Gotcha. Completely forgot about chmod.
I'll try to make it reinstall the systemui.apk without rebooting but could use some pointers on how to achieve this.
Edit:
Made a new version that supports mounting of all folders and added chmod into the mix. Should work properly now.

I've never used android scripts before but I'm guessing you could just do
exec /system/app/whatever.apk
But idk on that one.

I do exactly this on the WildChild ROM, using pm disable/enable.
It's a method I came up with by myself (so, it's not very elegant but it gets the job done ). There might be other ways of doing it, but I haven't seen any yet.

Launcher3 to Trebuchet? [Solved]

Hi there,
I was wondering where I can get the original Launcher3 from Cyanogenmod 11? For some reason, the new version for this month remove Launcher3 and replace it with their Trebuchet launcher, with is just horrible as you can't customized rows and columns and so forth.
I see other Launchers, it might be free, but there is a paid function. The Launcher3 does the job, but losing it on the new update kinda sucks...

if it's in your down Android installer should pick it up, if it's not there use a file explorer like CM Manager, Astro or something else find it and open it and Android install will start.

Adb, very simple (you must have the driver installed). Just activare USB debugging and connect the phone.
Open START.bat and write adb devices to check if your phone is recognized. Then, adb install Launcher3.apk and that's it. (it will install in /data not in /system).. few more commands if you want as system app.

Hi there,
I managed to get it to work, but it keeps posted "[INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]". That didn't work...

Means that you've already install it, go to Setting / Home and chose it as default.

Hi there,
I did, all it shows is the "Google Now" and "Trebucet". Maybe it was left from the previous install?

Maybe.. First try to completly uninstall it from Settings, then open again adb and try to install as system app.
adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb push Launcher3.apk /system/app
adb reboot
Hope this time works properly.

Uninstalling it from the app section?

Try unistalling from adb then.
adb uninstall Launcher3.apk
And then follow previous commands to install it as system app.

Hi there,
Nope, that didn't work. *lol* Got a Read-only error. Blah, I'll revert it back. *lol* Too complicated for me...

Hi there,
Ah, I finally found a solution. I uploaded the Launcher3.apk into the zip folder in the system/priv-app then install the zip file via bootloader and it works. *lol* It was a flute.

FireTV boot animation replacement

Here is a replacement for the Amazon FireTV bootanimation. With the new root available for the Amazon FireTV2, I decided to make a new boot animiation for it.

Here is a 1920x1080 version of the bootanimation.zip.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ciybr59yw5sjgrn/bootanimation_-_freedom1_-_1920_30fps.zip/file
(fixed zip file. was zipped with wrong compression. bootanimation files need to be zipped using compression method as 'store', not 'normal'.)
If there is any desire for a lower res bootanimation, let me know.
Here are the basic Windows steps to replace the bootanimation per
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-customize-the-boot-animation-on-a-rooted-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/
adb connect 192.168.xx.xxx (your ip)
adb push c:\'directory'\bootanimation.zip /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm -f /system/media/bootanimation.zip
cd /system/media
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
chmod 0644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
exit
exit
reboot FireTV
If you don't see an animation during boot up, the bootanimation file is not supported.

Or another one.

try to delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip an check if it now boots

stick boots, by displaying "android"

Ok than there is a problem with the zip.
try with my bootanimation

works, it's the nice "ATV11", the zip-file seems to be defect! I will try again with a new download.

Fire TV Boot Lite New Interface

works fine on my firestik4k, THX

Thanks bro .

Used to work before but with newest firmware it seems something has changed. Did anyone got theese working again on stick 4k yet?
Okay i got it working again.
For anyone else:
If you have some magisk modules active check the file in the directory:
/data/adb/modules/"your module"/system/media/bootanimation.zip
and
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
you need to replace both zip-files in order to get the custom boot animation to work again.
If you often update and test your new bootanimation.zip then you may want to check my update script. Will be improving it from time to time to get a more fluid and fast way to update.
