[MOD] Change Glass-Lockscreen to Android with a script

Hello!
So, some guys tested my bat-script and they reported that it works! So i create a new thread..
All you need is a java installation (i think jdk, becuase you need the jar binary) and adb! You have to edit the bat file and
set the 2 variables to the directory.
The other variables (sed, smali, baksmali, dexopt-wrapper) are in the package, so you shouldnt change it.
If anything necessary is not found, the script will not start!!
Attention: If you run the bat file, be sure your mobile is NOT IN STANDBY!! You have to be in normal mode (not recovery or sth) and the screen turned on!
So not in lockscreen/standby mode, because otherwhise SuperUser does not popup and ask for root-rights.
When you dont allow root-rights you will see a permission error during the script and this is bad (it will ask you 2-3 times for root rights).
I made this script, so everyone can look at the commands (not hiding inside an exe file which could do anything).
Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/420586328/install_lockscreen.zip
Windows verion needs to be on rapidshare/filehoster, because i have put the sed binary + dll into it (you need it for windows and autopatching the .smali file)
Just download the bat script and edit it with an editor (notepad++ or jedit or just notepad) and set the ADB variable to adb.exe and JAVA_DIR to the JDK-directory (not including \bin - just the main-directory).
Tested successfully on my JM5 and some other user with JM8 and someone with JH2!
4 things todo (not for running the script, just for the future ):
1. create script for linux/mac os usage (shouldnt be so hard, but i have not so much time currently..)
2. auto-create an update.zip with the original android.policy.odex/.jar file for errors (because you cannot change this file if the phone cannot boot - su segmentation fault)
3. if /system/xbin/dd is not here or if it is missing the "conv=notrunc" option, the script should abort
4. create a version for deodexed mobiles/firmwares.
I dont have a clue, how to create an update.zip, so if anyone of you could give me a little help, i would be very happy
And i dont have a deodexed mobile, so someone should tell me the difference, so i can make a different script or the script should autodetect it.
Big thanx to Ateisti for found this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779803
If you like my work you can buy me a beer (but you dont have to ): Beer via paypal

menu button fix included or not?

When someone would tell me what this is, then i can insert it in the script

Ateisti talk about it at the end of the first post of his thread

Found it
- By default, the menu button will also unlock the screen. To disable this behavior, you have to modify /res/values-hdpi-v4/bools.xml in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, and change the value of <bool name="config_disableMenuKeyInLockScreen">false</bool> to true. Can also be done by modifying code.
But, i have disabled WidgetLocker and just the AndroidLockscreen now..
I can hit so many times i want the menu button, the lockscreen will never be released..
I have JM5 (2.1). Maybe this is there different?
I will make on the weekend a linux version of the script and then i will also enable this feature..

There is also a way to do this from the android.policy smali files. I did it on my UGJH2.
go into "android.policy\com\android\internal\policy\impl\LockScreen.smali"...
Do a search for "return v4" and change it to "return v6" (this should be within the method ".method private shouldEnableMenuKey()Z", closer to the ".end method" line.)
To add it to your script, have it change this at the same time as the other file you edit and bingo, no more menu button unlock....

didn't work here.
thank god you made a backup folder

[MOD][XXKI3] Remove VIBRATE icon from status bar

Hi,
Here's a patch for stock odexed XXKI3 to remove vibrate icon from status bar. I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature but I hated it and removed according to instructions from this thread
Thanks to tripc1 for instructions.
RAWI.NO_VIBRATE_ICON.MOD.zip
This one is with:
- CRT Effect
- % Circle Battery mod
RAWI.NO_VIBRATE_ICON.MOD_2.zip
If the first doesn't work then try the second file. I removed the icon having already crt and battery mode applied, so SystemUI.apk was different than stock.
PLEASE DO BACKUP PRIOR TO INSTALLING!
As I can't post in Android Development section (I haven't made 10 posts requirement) I'm posting it here.
This Mod is by vintozver
Removing vibrator icon on ODEXED roms. If you have deodexed one - you will not need to odex the apk again, you will need to sign the apk instead.
The method works for ANY android version actually. You SHOULD backup your device prior doing this. You SHOULD think what you do.
Patch may not work for your device. I did this for SGS2 2.3.6 KI4 (stock).
===
We need:
0. jre/jdk
1. adb
2. apktool (for looking for resources if they differ in your version).
3. smali/baksmali tools
4. dexopt-wrapper (on Device)
Process:
1. Download SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex on your computer.
2. Download /system/framework to your computer (framework folder for clarity).
3. BOOTCLASSPATH=framework /opt/smali/baksmali -d framework/ -o dx_obj --api-level 9 -x SystemUI.odex
You'll have dx_obj folder filled with dalvik VM source code (dex-source).
4. Apply patch (see below), which strips out unnecessary code and icon updates.
5. /opt/smali/smali dx_obj/
6. Rename out.dex to classes.dex
7. Put classes.dex to SystemUI.apk file
8. copy updated SystemUI.apk to temporary folder on your device like: adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk
9. adb shell
# cd /sdcard
# dexopt-wrapper SystemUI.apk SystemUI.odex
# cp SystemUI.odex /system/app/SystemUI.odex
# sync
10. reboot the device (you may issue "reboot" command in the shell as well).
Enjoy!
Patch may be different for some roms and some android versions. The best method of searching the code has been explained in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18033801 (unpacking apk within apktool and looking for identifiers). PM me for further help.

You haven't packed the apk mate.

Hm, it's not necessary, the change is only in .odex file....
The solution is based not on removing the actual vibrate icon from apk file but on removing lines of code that shows the icon in status bar.

did NOT work ! :s

Ok, I posted the second file. Now it's with SystemUI.apk but also with other tweaks.
The second file works for sure.
Appologise for inconvenience.

Can you tell us what tweaks please? I'd like to know what I'm doing to my device before making any changes.

Tweaks for batt circle mod and crt effects comes from this thread and this.
After that I patched against vibrate icon according to the instructions.

Strange, I'm on KI3 and don't have the issue with the vibrate icon when vibrate is set to always on.

gr8 second file made me lose notification bar ...

Have you installed any other themes/mods that also modifiy SystemUI.apk?
The file I posted works perfect on pure stock xxki3 from samfirmware.com...

I have KI3... dont have the vibrate icon aftet i set it to NEVER in settings->sound->vibration...
is it the same thing we are talking here? why do we needed a modified app to do the same ?

Yes, but the problem occurs when you want to set the option to ALWAYS and you DONT want to see the vibrate icon all the time

You can upload ONLY remove Vibrate MOD without CRT Effect and % Circle Battery mod, cause I don't want change it.

JKay Settings app has a lot of tweaks, including removal of vibro-icon and it works on any rom.
Thanks for trying anyway.

Is this in the Android market? Can't find it.

Sorry, I didn't read carefully. After installing the file from the first link, everything is in ok! Thanks guys.

You must install the file from the first link by CFW.

There is also a free app "Contact Vibrate". You can set all calls to vibrate even though you don't have it on "Always Vibrate" under general setting.
With the app, you can even customize the vibration pattern for each contact (if you wish to). If not, it will use a master pattern (your choice) for all.
This is good for unrooted users, or those that don't want to mess with the ROM anymore.

It is possible for KI4?

[NST] HELP IN PATCHING framework.jar

HI EVERY BODY, I REALLY NEED HELP IN PATCHING this files to get Arabic support. I am not an expert with patching and code stuffs . Last days i was trying to root my nook. First i rooted with Slasicha but i was not able to run android market,
then restored and rooted again with minimal touch. i was afraid of it because it involves installing cwm which i don't know any thing about it, but with following steps and instructions, It worked . also Google apps and market
files that i need to try patching it
framework.jar
libwebcore.so
framework.jar takes care of shaping texts in android on all texts except Gmail and the browser, while libwebcore.so takes care of shaping texts in the default Browser and Gmail app.
This patcher will attempt to get you Arabic support in both of these files.
This should work with all Android phones sporting Android
these steps taken from here :
http://blog.devasque.com/?page_id=11
by madmack member
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1436971
Requirements:
Your device needs to be rooted.
Your Android version is 2.1 or newer
Your ROM needs to be deodexed. To find out if your installed ROM is deodexed, navigate to /system/framework on your phone. If you see a file called framework.odex then this patch will NOT work for you.
Your rom is not based on MIUI.
Steps to apply the patch:
Download the patch below and extract it to a folder on your computer.
Pull /system/framework/framework.jar from your phone and place it in the subfolder input that you extracted in step 1
If you’re not using a CyanogenMod ROM, then you’ll also need to pull /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from your phone and place it in subfolder input that you extracted in step 1
If you’re interested in getting arabic shaping in the Browser, pull file /system/lib/libwebcore.so from your phone and place it in subfolder input as well.
Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder output
Version 0.800 provides a recovery flashable file in folder output. Place that on your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash it. If the flashing through recovery didn’t work for some reason, you’ll need to do the following manually:
Put file output/framework.jar in your phone at /system/framework/
Put file output/libandroid_runtime.so in your phone at /system/lib/ (if this file exists, it shouldn’t if you’re arabizing CM6).
Put file output/libicuuc-arabic.so in your phone at /system/lib/ This is extremely important, failing to place this file will result in a boot loop of your deivce
If file exists: Place file output/libwebcore.so in your phone at /system/lib/
If file exists: Place file output/lib__bcore.so in your phone at /system/lib/
I’ve also included the Aljazeera fonts in fonts. You can place these in /system/fonts and reboot
Sometimes permissions and xml data doesn’t get updated correctly resulting in corrupted data entries. If you receive a bunch of Force Closes after a reboot, you’ll need to Factory Reset.

As for how to add Arabic, I'll add a guide soon, it involves patching the Framework.jar only, as I found that patching the lib files causes crashes in the anything related to the stock browser , like gmail and such. But all in all, You'll have Arabic in everything else.

[MOD] Batch to modify MMS.apk for softbank users [v0.2]

Hello everyone !
As some of you probably know, to be able to send and receive mms in japan (sms are not used most of the time, lots of phone are not even able to use them), you need to modify the mms.apk, to make your phone a fake iphone.
After some research and tests, I have been able to find a way to modify any mms.apk of any rom, as long as the phone is rooted.
But as I update my phone really often with CM, I didn't wanted to do the all process over and over again.
Then I created some little batch files, which I share to you now, for the ones who want the same things.
Those batch files should work on any rom and phones, as long as they are rooted, with adb right.
I have no credit for the tools used by those scripts, I only created the batch files which use them.
And I am not responsible of any damage those scripts could do to your phone !!
/!\ This script is available for windows only /!\
Installation process :
1.unzip the file somewhere (if updating, delete everything and unzip again)
2.connect your phone to your computer and check if you can access to your phone in adb root mode. For JB roms, I saw that changing the usb mode to PTP helps sometime.
3.launch "mms_mod.bat" in admin mode
4.if at the end of the process your phone doesn't reboot and you sms icon doesn't disappear from your android home, which happens most of the time, launch the "put_mms_again.bat" in admin mode.
5(a).if everything work, your phone should reboot, and your sms icon should disappear from your android home. It is normal, don't panic, just take it back from your applications launcher.
5(b).if everything work except pushing the file inside your phone (inside /system/app), do it manually with root explorer for example (don't forget to change the Mms.apk file permission after copying it), you can find the modded Mms.apk in "Output\[device model]\[date&time]\Modded_file\". Then reboot your phone.
Now it's ok, your phone should now works on softbank network!!
Don't forget to use mms mode when you want to send something to a japanese phone!
Please note that if anything goes wrong, you can find a backup of your Mms.apk in "Output\[device model]\[date&time]\Backup_file\"
Oh, and if it is not done already, don't forget to setup the softbank's APN.
For that, just download the program named "Tweakker" on google play, it is perfect for that. But be careful, the default APN to use depends of your phone plan.
Tell me if you have any suggestion or bug !

Change log :
2013/09/20 - release 0.2
- cleaning code and adding a backup feature which keeps the original and modded Mms.apk for each operation
2013/09/20 - initial release

this is because your rom doesn't allow adb to run in root mode
was the Mms-signed.apk created successfully inside the script folder ?
if there was no error before, it should be the case.
in that case, rename Mms-signed.apk to Mms.apk, and put it manually to your /system/app/ phone folder.
Don't forget to save your Mms.apk before, and to change the access rights of Mms.apk after copying it to system folder.

No error and the file shows up, but is very small only 1.69kb. Shouldn't the file be closer to the original which is 8.56mb? I have s Samsung GS4 and the original file is SecMms.apk. I noticed the twframework-res did not run on the script just framework-res does this matter?
After messing with this for sometime I can see where the script is looking for Mmm.apk, but since I have a Samsung phone the file is SecMms.apk, so this is the problem I believe. Looks like you would need to have additional script just for Samsung to include twframework-res and framework-res, also to look for SecMms.apk. This is a nice script you built, BTW.

Be careful, if your GS4 use a special samsung mms program, this script will not work with it anyway, because the script modify some file inside the Mm.apk, which are probably not the same inside your SecMms.apk.

How to install Xposed Framework on the Huawei GX8/G8.

I was curious to know to how xposed framework can be installed on the Huawei GX8 so I went through different sites to find at least an easy way to do that but honestly i didn't find any easy steps. They are more or less complicated depending on the individual attempting the procedure. ok
It is advised to take complete backup before deodexing so that you can replace the deodexed apps with the odexed backups in case you face some Apps crashing. Deodexing is important in order to make xposed framework install successfully and use some modules as well.
Warning: You attempt this procedure at your own risk, bare in mind that I will not be held responsible if you brick your device for attempting this procedure.
Prerequisites:
Rooted device.
Fully functional TWRP recovery or any other recovery with File manager support.
Backup all your data & apps.
Download this APP for deodexing:https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BwSanb5zBfFiaHN5MGV2ZnFqcVU&export=download
Deodexing the ROM:
Step 1: Extract the BatchAPKTool to your preferred location.
Step 2: Open BatchAPKTool.exe. Set Language to English when prompted.
Step 3: The tool will now ask you to chose task.
Step 4: Type 83 and set smali version to smali-2.1.2.jar by entering 2. Now type 84 and set Android API level to 21 (Android 5.0), 22 (Android 5.1.1) or 23 (Android 6.0). This value must match with the firmware you have currently installed on your device.
Step 5: Now connect your device to PC. Make sure USB Debugging Mode is enabled and necessary Huawei Drivers are installed.
Step 6: In BatchAPKTool window, type 13 and then enter 4. This will pull all files from /system/app , /system/framework , /system/priv-app from your device. This may take some time so wait patiently. (You might also do it manually using Root Explorer)
Step 7: Once it’s done press Enter to return to main BatchAPKTool Menu.
Step 8: We’ll now deodex the apps. Enter 01 in the tool. It will now ask you for your ARM version. Enter “arm” and press Enter. Wait for the process to be completed.
Step 9: In the directory where you have extracted BatchAPKTool, you’ll find three folders named _priv-app, _app and _framework. Remove the underscore from the folder names so that they are now priv-app, app and framework respectively.
Step 10: Create a new SYSTEM FOLDER and name it DEODEXED SYSTEM and copy those three folders inside it. Now copy the System folder to your SD card or Internal Memory.
Replacing Odexed Apps with Deodexed Apps:
1: Boot your device into recovery and backup System partition
2: Using the built in file manager in recovery, delete the app, framework and priv-app folders from your system partition.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure that in twrp in the "Mount" section the "Only mount system read-only" is unchecked in order to copy the files to system.
3: Now copy the app, framework and priv-app folders from system folder (which we copied to SD card or Internal) and paste them to the SYSTEM partition i.e. /system/
4: When done, reboot your device. First boot will be extremely long. Might take 20-30 minutes so be patient.
ALTERNATE METHOD:
NOTE: It may not be possible to copy files from one folder to another in recovery mode, so this is what i did...
1. Create a NEW FOLDER in your internal memory and name it ORIGINAL SYSTEM.
2. Copy PRIV-APP, APP and FRAMEWORK from the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER and paste it in the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER in the memory of your device.
3. Now copy the THREE files in the DEODEXED SYSTEM FOLDER to the ORIGINAL SYSTEM FOLDER in the root of your device.
4. Your device will reboot immediately the files are copied. The boot may take 20-30 minutes so be PATIENT..
Installing Xposed Framework.
1. Go to the official thread and download the latest version(xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64) for Marshmallow
2. Download the apk and the uninstaller arm zip just in case anything goes sideways you can flash the uninstaller to unistall xposed framework.
3. Install the apk file and flash the v80-sdk23-arm zip in recovery. Again device might take 20-30 minutes to boot.
4. For Android 6.0:
Open build.prop
add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0
ro.config.hw_theme=0
For Android 5.0-5.1.1:
Open local.prop (in system/emui/base/prop/local.prop)
add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0
ro.config.hw_theme=0
The commands is to ACTIVATE the framework.
