[Q] What apk's are not pngopt safe?

I tried to run pngopt on the latest froyo release and after flashing the ROM, the HTC_IME.apk continually force closes.
I ran the pngopt on the entire /system/app dir before flashing and now I recall reading from Fresh's release notes that through experience he knew what apk's did not pngopt well.
Can anyone give me a list of apk's I shouldn't touch with pngopt?

Since I'm sure not a lot of people know the answer to this I will just post my findings so far.
It looks like HTC_IME.apk is the only apk that doesn't like png optimization. I have been running my ROM for several hours and no problems so far after replacing HTC_IME with the original untouched version.
I removed all of the Sprintware first, so there may be problems with those apk's and pngopt, I have no dersire to install those and find out

I've been searching this forum and google. What is pngopt?

I'm an idiot. You guys are just talking about generic png optimization aren't you? So you just unzip the apk, optimize it and re-zip? Is there a "favorite" optimizer for linux?

[MOD][Froyo JP6, JPA Repository] Reboot, Recovery, Download on Shutdown menu

I take credit for nothing here except adapting it for rom im currently running (Docs JP6 v1).
It should work for any deodexed unthemed jp6 (used Docs update.zip script to remove theme as he uses some heavily modified stuff in his words 'optimised' framework that renders it useless for unpacking, repacking) so framework is stock except battery and i did it only to test if it will pack properly.
IMO this should be on every custom rom from now on.
Credits: lol almost everyone but ill try to be fair.
DocRambone- (actually requested this few days back but you prolly too busy lol) most prolific and my favorite moder here just hope he stays modest. wish you would do theme templates with your releases kinda like @enomther from Nexus does since you like tinkering with frameworks so much.
Tayutama- for bringing it to i9000 (M,T) although i think you credited wrong guy for this as well as being up there with Doc (wish you only released untehemed rom and theme as add-on).
LOL it seems that im paying homage and making requests at the same time
untermensch- who brought it to galaxy S (vibrant guy) for wonderfull instructions HERE
true credit of this mod concept is lost in history as most others have it for ages
sztupy- for being my favourite Hungarian
RyanZa- for being part of every important discussion
Supercurio-for always being open to suggestions no matter how popular you get
Kalpik- for popularizing battery mod and is gaining momentum in rom cooking fast
Without you guys this forum would be dead.
That is not to say that other less known guys are any less important so big credit for all rest.
feel free to make any changes and improvements on this and really hope it becomes standard for cooked roms.
install with CWM or rename update.zip and use 2e recovery or unzip and manually copy to system/framework:
framework-res.apk
framework.jar
android.policy.jar
your phone dies. NMF i tested it on mine

USEFUL feature for compulsive flashers. I remember your request on the doc's post and did +1 to it. Can I apply this on the Doc's ROM (themed)?

you will lose theme as i have no idea of the extent the doc customized framework folder and his framework-res does no compile properly and he does not provide template with latest changes (see my request above).
thats why i added circle battery so now you can edit the rest without having to use apk manager, you can use winrar or winzip since its only pictures now.

Alright - will give it a shot and let you know. Thanks!

OK tried it and:
Recovery -> Works
Reboot -> Works
Download mode -> Works
I get the feeling its slower shutting down/booting up though - not sure if its related.
If I wanted the doc's battery, can I copy it over to your theme? Can you point me what needs to change?
Would be good if you can post this on the doc's thread so maybe he will port it into his ROM

not my theme. default froyo jp6 theme with circle battery mod.
first boot slow due to generic lockscreen (another credit to doc for providing deodexed jp6 lockscreen mod android.policy.jar as my base)
its not slower or faster its the proper slow shutdown. the shutdown should be slow so the rom has time to save info. any other way is just like yanking the battery out with big possibility of data corruption.
heres a quick Docs themed framework-res.apk and androdena themed twframework-res.apk i think they go good together.
framework-res.apk is optimised .
just replace them in original zip script and update via CWM or manually copy via root to system/framework
hope doc does not take offense but i posted separately to gain visibility so i can get my dream of standardizing this thing and it should not be turned into repository either). i just happen to like this rom and use it so thats why it was made in docs jp6, if i was on tayutama lol than i would not have to do it.

I would like this in a JPA version if possible.

it would have to be by someone else (again: preferably integrated in rom by rom makers like tayutama did) or if i switch to jpa (which i dont plan at the moment).
believe me i have no idea what I'm doing lol. was just tinkering and since i have no idea, it is a painstaking work.

very useful , I'm love it.

Have noticed that with other shutdown utilities too... adb reboot recovery does seem to be the fastest off the blocks.

If you can supply me with framework.jar, framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar i can make it for JPA but they need to be deodexed meaning there can't be any .odex files.
Btw reason i credited designgears is because i took it from his rom
But i'm working on another version that puts the 3 options into a little window by itself so you will have a button saying "Reboot" and pressing on that will bring another window with those 3 options to reboot, recovery and download in them.
Will also see about getting Hot Reboot to work.
Hot Reboot is a reboot that doesn't reboot the phone meaning it kills all services and then starts those up that are needed when you boot the phone... It's faster then a normal reboot
Also have been in the plan to make a unthemed version of my rom but been thinking that if i do that there won't really be a reason to release a rom as it will pretty much be like Doc's that you can just apply a theme to it since there won't be much of a difference between his and mine if i release unthemed... Well other then i implement some stuff before he does ^^

@Tayutama : can you please make for JPA
They have battery mod version d integrated

Reg. Hot Reboot - does adb reboot recovery use Hot Reboot? It is pretty fast.

Saw the popup mod on nexus and sense roms. LIKE THIS neat. hope when you do you make instructions as well
Hot reboot would be amazing provided it does not kill my phone.
Trust me theres plenty of things to differentiate you guys. you just have different styles and priorities but its the theme flexibility that gives us users a way to differentiate ourselves not just from each other but from day to day moods and activities.
anyways just got Doc on board for theme templates current with the changes in latest rom releases for easy themeing. Are you in. it would really simplify making themes compatible with latest roms.
right now we barely have themes section for fingers of one hand which is sad.
keep up the good work.

First off sorry it's Hot Restart not Hot Reboot
Hot Restart: a new option ('hot restart') has been added that will allow you to respawn android's system server process, thereby starting with a "clean system" w/o actually rebooting the device
My current problem is getting that Window to work...
Reason is those pictures you linked to are on Sense frameworks so it takes abit to look through it and figure it out.
Also about the theme templates and that... PM me about it and we can talk.

Working great on Doc_Kalpik Froyo JP6/JPM V5.1.
Hope this becomes standard on cooked roms. Much more convenient.

Will This work on my captivate running cognition UCJI6 (2.2 2.6.32.9 kernel) and it cannot manually get into downloadload mode. Only with ADB!!

Great idea!
How about for those who want to use the AOSP lockscreen?
It also depends on android.policy.jar

Make themes for kitchen

I have trying to get themes to run in the Doc and Stefunel kitchen.
This is a pretty demanding task. Many (almost all) themes can not be used as is due to a non standard resources.arsc and 9.png errors.
There is some theme pro's here.
We like to find a some kind of way to enable any theme inserted in a rom.
Any ideas to make this in a easy way?
/Doc

No one here any ideas? I already proposed someone make a theme kitchen and integrate it with Doc's rom kitchen but apparently all the smart guys that got time and would know how to do that bought a Desire.
Which takes us back at doc's original question someone knows a fail-proof way to integrate themes into roms without having to flash a post-install zip?

Hi Doc,
i know this isnt way you want, but probably it can work:
What about make some script, witch will do:
1) after flashing ROM and start android - reboot android to recovery
2) (i dont know if it is possible) make script for CWM witch will automaticaly flash theme and reboot to system
If Im wrong .. ignore this

I've never need a post-install script to put a theme into a ROM.
Except for the JPY Gingerbread, but me and XGX got that hammered out in the thread in the Captivate forum and it works just fine without a second .zip.

Hi, any link to point in right direction is most welcome

I've merely dropped the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk into the /system/framework. And any other files like android.policy.jar that goes with it.
For JPY, I had to take a few extra steps:

[REQ] Stock EB13 Deodex Template with Power Mod, 1% battery, No Pop Up.

I am far from knowing how to get this going myself so I hope that one of the themers on here might oblige me by making this possibe. I like running stock for a bit since I am new to the Epic. But I would like the ability to have Reboot and Recovery from the Power Menu as well as the 1% battery option as well as No battery pop up from a stock deodexed template. I would still like all stock apps to remain in place as I remove those at my own leisure via root explorer or 7-zip prior to applying the zip. I am rooted and have no worries there but I have no idea how to get the .xml files edited or add any of these features. Especially on Froyo. Thanks in advance for the read and hopefully assistance! I am all for testing as well so...

I am really surprised that no one else seems to want this. If someone is able to do it can you include the camera fix and call log fix unless those are kernel issues which a kernel is taking care of it already. Please someone help us out!

Here is one link to a rooted deodexed stock install and there are a few others in Android Developement. Then you can add battery mods to that.

[MOD][XXJVQ][ODEX] and that is not lag internal browser base

Hello everyone,
after passing through the deodex JVQ, I come back to the Odex basic lag and too much waiting in use, for lack of cons with hacks
So I share with you two things for the JVQ Odex
- Touchwiz 4 with a apps Phone, Sms and Contacts (based on "SGS2-AOSP Icons / TW4 / Hacked Apps" of Switchrock)
http://www.multiupload.com/4JD1YICWYP
- A mod (still for JVQ Odex) LockScreen AOSP, Effect CRT,% round, green battery, power Extended menu icons radio green house icons "scedric57"
based on a mix of Bo$s & Pomdeter, and that is not lag internal browser base http://www.multiupload.com/AUZHISIHLM (updated ok, version 1.2)
ATTENTION Extended power menu not work !
the same with the original lockscreen: http://www.multiupload.com/ACBYCGY222
the same, reviewed by Pomdeter, with the green battery in percentage: http://www.multiupload.com/5SQZ0MK75O
version for the restoration Stock in if Odex JVQ: http://www.multiupload.com/RVNP3WPM0Q
Installation under SpeedMod Gingerbread [K15H CWM-T22 EXT4 STABLE] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519
and on the basis JVQ via odin in 3 files ODEX
good flash at all if you do not mind the flash-test:

ps : escuse me for my bad english

Hi there, you're excused for your English no problem! but I have to say I have no clue what you mean with this
'after passing through the deodex JVQ, I come back to the Odex basic lag and too much waiting in use, for lack of cons with hacks'
Can you give us some instructions on how to install?
-Do we run them from the recovery menu?
-Do we replace apk and/or .odex files manually?
I'm very interested cause I'd like to keep my JVQ odex as stock as possible but with your mods it would be perfect!

These are flashable with CMW3 and do seam to work and do not lag the browser which is great.

Great job.

Don't hesitate to do more mods to the stock rom

One comment, you said that the extended power menu doesn't work.
True.
What now also doesn't work anymore is Quickboot (from the market).
That doesn't do anything anymore after installing JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2.zip
After restoring JVQ_odex_Restore.zip it still doesn't work, also similar apps like AnReboot stopped working altogether.
I think the problem has to do with root permissions somehow being withdrawn or deleted cause all my apps that require root access have stopped working to. They start/run but don't execute their function (e.g. droidwall complains it no longer has root access).
Can you please look into this?
Update:
Fixing root permissions in cwm recovery solves the above problem but is persistant (also happened after a second install of the mods).
The Extended Power Menu options result in the GUI being restarted.

i lost root.

Reapplied it easily as I'm on tegrak kernel. Tried reinstalling superuser. Doesn't work.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I reinstalled root from within the Speedmod kernel, that worked without a problem (just took me some time to figure out loosing my root was the problem).
The good thing is I have the nice circle mod and some graphics tweaks plus the browser still rocks!
But I would consider this still a beta that needs some more work.

So If I understand it correctly, this fixes the browser on a deodexed JVQ rom, but it will cost you root and the extended power menu? Great work! I hope you can fix those issues, I don't know I can easily re-root my phone (running on darkcore 2.8) and I like the extended power menu too much to give it up
Again, great work. You've made a lot of people happy!

It doesn't fix the browser cause it ain't broken.
It also doesn't cost you root if you're on speedmod.
And I guess the extended menu is something being worked on so it looks good from my pov, at least I have a great stock slightly themed JVQ!

Okay, make it useable then. Calling the stock browser laggy on a deodexed JVQ is an understatement.

Great TW4 stef !
Just upload .zip in CWM and you have a new phone !
Thanks

The point I made was that the stock browser is not broken on the odexed version and we run these theme mods on the odexed stock JVQ so the browser is not fixed.

Which one shall I install TW4_JVQ_ODEX_V1 or JVQ_Mod_Odex_SLD_V1.2 or both since the contents of the two are different? Is there any bugs after installing this mod? Kindly please explain between the two version what's the difference. These are just my questions on this mod.

TW4 is the one that should contain touchwiz 4.
The other one contains the mods like green battery, etc...
I've just installed the TW4 mod on my odex JVQ running speedmod.
But the boot took 2 minutes, while it normaly takes about 25 seconds.
Will this happen on future boots too?
EDIT:
This doesn't contain TW4, just the icons.
It's still the old, ugly TW3.
EDIT2:
the restoration file doesn't convert the tw4 icons (contacts+messages) back to old school TW3.
Please fix this, cause i don't want to flash JVQ again.

So basically this doesn't make it like TW4 only the icons even if I install both mods. It will just look like TW4 but the way it works will still be TW3. Is this correct?

Not sure what you flashed but this is definately TW4
Transparent dock, semi transparent background in app drawer, page numbers at bottom in app drawer and homescreens and of course icons have been changed.
Works like a charm, thank you very much!
