* It is adviced to do a nandroid backup. (My opinion: if you root your device always do a nandroid backup of your system files )
* If you didn't make a nandroid backup and you had *USB Debugging* turned on, try the method described at the end of this post if you are running into troubles.
Recovery Procedure
In case you didn't make a nandroid backup and you can't reboot your device because you applied a mod for a wrong version, here's a simple way out: (Thanks to boisrobe!)
Open SuperOneClick and choose "Shell Root"
Start ADB, wait for the # prompt and enter the following commands:
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system (or mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system ... if there's no busybox)
#rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#chown root.root /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#reboot
Changelog:
v1.1.2:
v1.1.1: Mandatory Update! (changed the way icons are fetched
v1.1: added icon preview
v1.0: release

There is certainly no need for reflash after bad framework-res.apk copy.
What an user needs to do is to backup original file and then use ULK kernel's feature -> Modified CWM. U can adb push the old file to system/framework from there. (just first solution which crossed my mind)

GREAT! When the user runs the app for the first time, a backup of the original framework-res.apk is made in the root of the sdcard.
Note for users who are currently running a mod. Restore the original file before you are going to run this version. (Or get a original framework-res.apk for your rom in kalpik's thread)

If there is a backup on the root of the sdcard and u have ULK kernel installed, and user has a ADB connection available:
- boot into CWM recovery,
- select "mounts and storage",
- select "mount /mnt/sdcard",
- connect the USB cable,
- open adb shell connection
- type "cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk" (the second argument is backup file)
- reboot, should be fixed.

At the moment the app replaces the current framework-res.apk?
What about opening the .apk and just replace the few icons you want to change, so you will be able to combine many mods. Would be awesome.

Yep, I agree. But on the other hand, there's so much work done already on this by modders, that I don't see the point of reinventing the wheel. I think it's better this way. Modders can work independently and if they wish they can make their modded framework-res.apk available for this app in a fairly easy way.
It's a more pragmatic.
BTW one can make all kinds of modded framework-res.apk's available this way.

Feedback
I see that there are many downloads yet, but I don't see any reports. May I infer from this that the app is working without any problems? Or are you guys still figuring out how to get your device working again

Works great on JPM. The only thing is if you change portrait to landscape then the download dialog dissapear.
Thx for the tool.

works great on jpo. Even mods for jpa works flawlessly on jpo. Thanks a lot

Could someone do a mod based on the battery icon used by the OP?
Or a version with the percentage included.

Thanks for testing!! I couldn't test the app myself all the way, because, like I said, I've sold my SGS. Although I really did like this phone, I had a unexplainable urge to go for the newest, hottest kid on the block, the Desire HD.
I based the code on the other app I made and that was tested to run without any problems, but yeah, you never know. I guess I can reduce all the warning signs in the first post a bit then

It's the battery icon of the Desire HD. The battery color fits with the other colors used by the DHD (selection color, color of for example checkboxes etc.) I don't know if it matches also with the blue theme of the Galaxy S. Anyway I can extract the battery icons and post them here. Maybe others can mod them for the SGS.

Great Work
It's work very well on JPO (CSC XEU)
Thanks

The colors don't fit well on SGS' original theme, but there's a lot of people using moded ROM's with grey themes. Also, most of the battery mods available look like a rainbow, to many colors.
I was looking around on the Desire forums and noticed that those icons are from the original ROM, and I remembered sawing a grey version of that.

It's from the Captivate forums, and I think it could add a good mod to the ones available

Going to test with JPA, THANKS FOR THE EFFORT!

As promissed now with icon preview
updated files on the server. Some more mods... I will add more files to the list the coming days. Check with the app if there are new mods online.
Are there requests for Eclair mods?

Great app, nice work.

Any chance we can see some more battery mods for JPO? Ta.

[MOD] 1% battery, no carrier, CRT off, no wasted space around clock

This mod will add the following features:
battery % numbers with step of 1 instead of 5 as by default
battery charging icon displays %
no carrier text
no wastes space around clock (especially noticeable with 24H clock)
CRT off effect (it's an animation when screen gets turned off)
The battery icons were taken from [KITCHEN][12/20] UOT Kitchen (Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen) version 4.0
Created from and tested on Nitro HD P930 (AT&T) with stock rom.
Disclamer: as usual you are the one who is responsible if you brick you phone
The attached files can be flashed with CWM. In my tests I had to install package twice without reboot, otherwise it would either get stuck at LG logo or boot loop.
Make sure create a backup with CWM before installing this!
If you don't want use CWM you can install it manually:
backup /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/app/SystemUI.apk
copy framework\framework-res.apk and app\SystemUI.apk from package to sd card on your phone
a) using Root Explorer (DO NOT USE ES FILE EXPLORER OR YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE!) copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from sd card to /system/.
Change permissions to:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
move /system/framework-res.apk to /system/framework/
and /system/SystemUI.apk to /system/app/
reboot (don't worry about force closes, it's normal)
b) using adb from your computer, make sure phone is set to debug mode.
open cmd window on your computer and type (each line is separate command):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/
chmod 0644 /system/framework-res.apk
chown root.root /system/framework-res.apk
cp /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/
chmod 0644 /system/SystemUI.apk
chown root.root /system/SystemUI.apk
mv /system/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
mv /system/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
mount -oremount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
adb reboot

It'd be really cool to figure out how to manually cook an apk like itiskonrad did, but with percentage text in 1% increments on top of the blue battery he created.

Awesome! Thanks, [email protected]! Yeah, Malnilion, if it's okay with [email protected], maybe I can take a look at it and try to group it with the blue icons/blue battery/no carrier stuff if he's cool with that?

absolutely!
And by the way, after seeing the vertical icon I noticed that we have so much wasted space between battery icon and clock, never noticed it before, now it bothers me...do you think there is a way remove that space?

Hmm, one question though. If I apply the % to the stock battery, what color do I choose for the number? =) As the battery drains, it has a white background, so I guess no white. So just black?

Quick question for [email protected]! I decompiled the framework-res.apk that you got from UOT Kitchen, and noticed that all the battery icons normally used by the phone (typically stored in framework-res/res/drawable-xhdpi) are missing. The battery icons being used in this theme are being stored in framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi, the folder designated for lower-resolution icons for lower res phones. My question is did you delete the battery icons from xhdpi? Or did UOT kitchen do it automatically?

No, I did not touch the .apk files. Must be UOT kitchen itself...
I wonder when/where these xhdpi images are being used?

In the nitro, xhdpi images include pretty much all the icons, battery, buttons used. All modifications I made were to copies of the icons used in xhdpi. UOT kitchen can't handle xhdpi yet. It's only designed for phones up to qHD, which still use images in hdpi. So when UOT kitchen made the phone use 1% battery increments, the only way it knew how was to direct the framework to use hdpi images of the battery, since it doesn't understand how to modify xhdpi yet. This is fine, but I'm wondering if since it's directing the battery icons to hdpi (these are about half the resolution of the xhdpi icons) if it's also directing ALL the other icons to hdpi. Did you notice any drop in quality (or size) of the other icons unrelated to the battery when installing this apk, in particular the install icon (the arrow with the horizontal green line going through it that pops up when you're downloading/installing an app)? If nothing else changed, then it's good. Then the only things that have been modified are the battery icons, and I can see if I can just swap them out with higher res originals with added percent values....

looks cool, about to do this but re: step 3b
could you clarify what adb is?
thanks in advance!

hey cool, thanks! firing up the superoneclick here in a bit.

You know, now I do see the battery icon is a bit fuzzy, but it really, really barely visible...we are talking about 24% difference, 38x38 vs 50x50

if others are afraid of bricking their phone.
i can confirm that this mod DOES WORK! (i use the 1%_battery_horizontal.zip)
thanks [email protected] !

I think it's due to Domination is deodexed rom, this mod is not dedexed.
I don't know if there is a way use dedexed SystemUI.apk on stock rom or not...
I'm in process of testing phone with no CWM installed, so I don't want risk it soft brick
I've attached SystemUI.odex file, try put it in /system/app/ using the manual method above.
If it works, perhaps deodex version could possibly make it work on stock rom as well.

Deodexed SystemUI.apk works fine on non-deodexed stock rom. I'm using it now in order to get the transparent notification bar on my otherwise stock rom.

Did you have to delete SystemUI.odex ?

Yup, deleted the odex after putting in the deodexed apk. Works fine as far as I can tell. Been using it this way for a month or so and no signs of anything weird. And I think since only SystemUI.apk is deodexed, it didn't seem to change my boot time when turning on my phone. Still right around 55 seconds.

How would I add just the CRT effect?

[AOSP/SAMMY]Change the background of your settings Dialer/Contacts[updated 9/12/12]

TIme to update this
Older data on howto change manually is in the spoiler below
Hi all,
This guide is split into two parts as of now , part 1 is for changing the settings menu background and part 2 is for changing the backgground for dialer and contacts.
Part -1
may be this method is known to few but im posting this to people who dont know how to change the background image of the settings menu and other few.
Sample screenshots
{
"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_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Like it?
here is the method to do proceed with.
Software needed :
1.7zip (to replace the image)
2.android sdk(to use adb commands to push/pull the files)
How it works:
We are modifying/replacing an image called "background_holo_dark.png" in the "framework-res.apk" which is responsible for displaying background images in menu.
Step 1:
Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Code:
adb pull system/framework/framework-res.apk
Step 2:
Open the framework-res.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Preparing your own image:
Now use any png image you want to set as background , resize it to 512 x 512 via mspaint or any other image editing software and rename the file to "background_holo_dark.png".
Drag the newly created image file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push the file back to mobile, type the following command in the same command prompt
Code:
adb remount
now type the following
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk system/framework
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Part-2
Wanna change the background of the dialer and contacts?? well read below,
Step 1:
Use the adb command (or u can use root explorer) to pull the "Contacts.apk" from your mobile to pc.
Step 2:
Open the Contacts.apk via 7zip and navigate to the following directory
"Contacts.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\", you will see a file called "background_dial_holo_dark.png". Delete the image and dont close the 7zip.
Drag the image (similar to the one created in part 1 of the guide) file back to 7zip(to the same directory where the old file is deleted) and close the 7 zip .
Step 3:
Now its time to push/copy back the file back to mobile. Copy back the file to the same directory from where it is copied.
Step 4:
Now reboot your mobile, you will have the new background image enabled
Your dialer and contacts shortcut may be missing from your launcher, just drag it back to the homescreen from the app drawer.
Step:5
This step is optional!!! If you do not get those shortcuts, enter cwm and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Note:
For users who know how to use root explorer (or other file managers) can use the same to copy/paste the framework-res.apk before and after editing.
Sample images are taken with multi dpi, this mod will work with all dpi.
Instructions:
1. Download the zip from the download section below and open it in 7zip.
2. Navigate to the following directory "\mode\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-nodpi\".(Sample images on post 2)
3. Change the images "background_holo_dark.png" and "background_holo_dark.png" as per your wish.
4. Flash it

works fully with cm9 and aokp roms. works partially with samsung roms where standard android framework is used.

when you say 'Use the following adb command below to pull the "framework-res.apk" from your mobile to pc' the phone must be connected with the PC?Im mean can't we pull it out with root explorer?

I have the stock rom on my device and tried it on your description to replace the background, but the black background is always shown. The background i added to the "framework-res.apk" will be not shown in the settings.
Is there another way or another kind of doing this for stock roms user?
Or should i install CM9?

[Guide][MOD] Make your own multi-dpi stock dialer

How to create a dialer for stock Samsung roms:
Requirements:
- Modded APKTool for ICS
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558171)
- Java JDK
- Windows 7 (I used it in a VM)
- A rooted phone
- Root Explorer
- Notepad++
- 7zip
Setting up:
- Install Java JDK, once that is done extract the contents of APK tools. Place them as close to the root folder as possible, I had them in C:\Android.
- Go to your phone, open up Root Explorer and navigate to /System/Framework and copy framework-res.apk to your SD Card
- Plug your phone in via mass storage mode/mtp and pull the app to the folder you created earlier (C:\Android).
- Open up CMD (command prompt) and type the following:
cd..
cd..
cd Android/
Making sure you use the ".."!
Next type the following command:
apktool if framework-res.apk
This will not decompile the framework-res apk, it is installing the current framework of your rom as they're all different. You will need to repeat this step every time you flash a new rom.
- Back on your phone, navigate to /System/app and copy Contacts.app to your SD Card
- Plug your phone in again and move it to the folder (C:\Android)
Decompiling:
Open terminal up again and type the following:
apktool d Contacts.apk
I'm guessing the d stands for decompile :good:
Editing:
Seeing as we're only editing XML's this isn't going to be that hard, I learnt how to do this in about 10 minutes. In the root folder you should now see a folder called "Contacts". Open that and navigate to /res/layout/ and scroller down to D. There will be several XML's starting with the word dialpad- we want all of those. Open those up in Notepad++.
The Maths:
You'll notice most of the figures are measured in DIP, this stands for density independent pixels, so we need to work out how much to multiply the values by so they look the same on your chosen DPI.
Take the stock density that the dialer works correctly at - 240dpi and divide it by your new density (for me it was 180).
240 / 180 = 1.3
The tedious bit:
Unfortunately you need to change every figure in the XML's starting with the word dialpad, this took me about and hour to do this but it was well worth it. This includes values not ending in DIP such as pp and px. To work out the new figure you need to do the following:
Take the value in the XML, for example 50
Multiply it by the value you got from dividing the old density by the new, mine was 1.3 to get the new value
50 * 1.3 = 65
*EVERY VALUE IN THESE XML's NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!*
Several hours later....:
Once you've done that we need to recompile everything.
- Open up CMD again and type in apktool b Contacts ContactsNew.apk
The b might stand for build, I have no idea, but depending on the speed of your computer/laptop this may take a few seconds/minutes. It took my macbook around 15 seconds to do it. You may get some small error messages, you can also use this to find any problems you made whilst editing.
Assuming it all went well you will see the new apk underneath your old one in the root folder. We can't use this as it doesn't have the proper signature that is needed for it to work. Therefore we will use 7zip to take the new files and drop them into the old apk.
- Open up 7zip and locate ContactsNew.apk (the one we just recompiled)
- Navigate to res/layout/ and drag all the files starting with dialler to a safe location, such as the desktop
- Go back to and open up Contacts.apk (the old one you pulled from your phone)
- Navigate to res/layout/ and drop all the files you just removed in here
- Close down everything as we don't really need it anymore
Installing:
Copy Contacts.apk to your SD Card overwriting the old one if it's still there and disconnect your phone safely. Open up root explorer and navigate to your SD card, copy Contacts.apk to /System/
*DO NOT COPY IT INTO SYSTEM/APP JUST YET*
Long press the apk and select permissions, they need to look like this:
{
"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"
}
Once you've done that long press and move it to /System/app overwriting the old one.
Reboot!
The dialer should now be the correct size, hoped this helped!

Awesome
Thank You very much,
Would u please be kind enough to make S3 dailer for S2? (because I'm a noob)

thanks to share this !
As you says, changing every dpi values is a big job, so I mad a little tool to do it :
http://www.mediafire.com/?39olh233z2gj9n2
It's a Windows application that take all xml file of a directory and change all xml values with 'px' at the end and change the value using a given ration. Two checkbox options : replace existing files (or create new ones in a 'Done' subdirectory) and subdirectory (recursive dir process).
If it can be useful for someone ...

When i used the sign option in advanced apktool, it didn't work but when i used auto sign, it worked very well. By the way, did you try it? And if you did, are there any problems?
Thanks

Give it a go. Im 99.99%sure it will work. Just make a backup of you original settings.apk. If the new one that you make doesn't work, you can just replace it with the original one. There is no risk involved here.

Nice tuts bro, one question though... what image format supported for the banner? Also, can we put animated gif image on it?
Thanks,

As step 8 in the before we start section says, the image must be a png and not any other format. I really doubt a gif would work. But if you are willing to experiment, you can go ahead and try, there is no risk involved, just make a backup of your original settings.apk and you are good to go.
By the way, i noticed the step 34 was not complete, so i edited it.
