[MOD REQUEST] Remove Power Off Confirmation Popup

Hi.
Just wondering if it's possible for me to remove the Power Off popup which appears just before the phone restarts, goes into recovery etc.
I'm not shy with having to alter files either, so whatever it takes I'd like to know...
This is for a Deodexed JVT 2.3.5.
Thanks in advance.

are you using an app to get to recovery,download,etc...?

You can get it from my Mod, get stock files and comare the files to see what is changed.
Have fun.

No, I'm actually using the mod by Perka, but it might be an old version.

Cool I'll take a look. If you could tell me the files that are changed that would narrow it down a little for me.

OK I did a file compare and there are WAY too many files which are different (including the framework-res.apk file).
Can you please narrow it down for me.

Worked it out finally.

Can you please explain how did you do it?
Thanks!

I just took Perka's advice and it worked out.
The files that needed editing are in the android.policy.jar file located in /system/framework/
I compared Perka's android.policy.jar file against mine and updated GlobalActions files that are associated with the Reboot, Shutdown etc.
It's not too hard especially if you have some kind of programming background.
My next project is to work on the 10 lockscreen mod.

Recompiling ContactsProvider.apk in order to support Facebook sync again

Hi people,
we all know that since ICS the Facebook app can't sync anymore with Android because Google disabled that feature, and wants Facebook to alter it's app in order to get the sync working again.
Facebook doesn't seem to be working very hard on that, and i really like my FB contacts being synced. So i read a few things on the web, and i saw this: http://android.modaco.com/topic/350037-enabling-facebook-sync-in-ice-cream-sandwich/. That seemed very interesting, but it still worked with some ugly init.d scripts, and his scripts can't be downloaded as Filesonic keeps deleting those files (and he didn't post the source).
But the first step he explained seemed helpful, and a poster who commented on his post gave a solution to get the sync working with only editing the ContactsProvider.apk: http://android.modaco.com/topic/350...-cream-sandwich/page__p__1873845#entry1873845.
So i tried it out. Took my contactsprovider.apk from OneCosmic's ICS (RC 2.11), and decompiled it with the latest apktool. I altered the files as explained in the posts, and tried to recompile.
But that's where i got stuck. It didn't recompile. I can't get it working. Tried different versions of apktool, loaded framework-res.apk, but it keeps giving errors. It really is a bummer, i wanted to try it out and see if i could get the sync working again.
Does anybody have a clue how i can recompile my files again, or does anybody have another solution? Thanks in advance!

I did manage to add arrays.xml file into resources, and patch that smali file (but the spot was @ line 9319!?).
Here's the apk:
http://www.multiupload.com/EJXMTI2G3W
I haven't signed it, cause I don't know if it's needed for system APKs.
Try it, and sign it yourself if needed.
I used apktool to add arrays.xml into resources and baksmali/smali for smali.
And as always I picked the new files (resources.arsc and classes.dex) and replaced them manually into a copy of the original apk.
Hope it helps.
edit: Ahh, forgot to mention.
I took ContactsProvider.apk from Onecosmics 2.1 build but I guess they're the same!
Not running ICS, not using FB sync, so not tested at all.

Errr, no!?
First, you should try the APK I uploaded before, *UNTOUCHED*.
If that doesn't work, try this one which is signed.
Do not modify/touch/change any of them!

[MOD][XPERIA 2012][ICS]InfiniteView mod

Found this mod in the SXS forum.
Modded InfiniteView.apk that allows for full screen contact image in contacts and full (top half) image in dialer.
In contacts infinite view the square image tends to get stretched, but in dialer it shows up correctly.
It's actually pretty nice. This modded app from the S is smaller than our stock version so I'm not sure of the differences in base functions but it seems like everything is there.
The mod is packaged as an install bat for the S. I extracted the apk and installed manually.
Always backup before overwriting. Use at your own risk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919742

Root needed?

Yes, since it's replacing a system app.

Cool, I was disappointed coming from the Vivid which had full image icon. Thanks for the find. It's amazing how much I learned about android system with all the mods cuz not a lot of devs for our device.

Back up your old InfiniteView.
Copy the modded InfiniteView to /system.
Change permissions to rw- r-- r--
Copy/move the modded InfiniteView to /system/apps (this will overwrite your original)
Reboot.

Using your explorer, randomly pick any app and see its permission. Make the permission of the modded InfiniteView app similar to that app.

thanks, I didn't see it, sorry

any reason this would not work with the OC'd 3.7 firmware? I remember this working on 2.68 a couple of months ago, then i reflashed the rom, tried the mod a couple of days ago and there is no change. Checked and rechecked permissions, did everything in these comments..

Thanks for the app
Gonna use it tonight!

Works on CM7 vo-1 flawlessly, I just wanted to see a list of paid apps that aren't installed like there where on older versions.

Thanks, installed without the need to push it to system app on my nexus 7.

Thanks. As said, you can now view the details of an app in My Apps and return to the list without it leaping to the top. I still miss being able to see a list of purchased apps though.

I found that but still can't order the list to show paid apps together. I also wish you could order uninstalled apps alphabetically.

... which kinda doesn't make sense, since this was a feature a few versions ago. Someone even "ported" old market version to workaround that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809215. I hope this will also be useful to others like it was useful to me

Install it ASAP! This update is much better. You can now see you're paid apps in the app list and when you scroll down and click an app you won't go back to the top of the list anymore :good:

Tried to copy paste or install...it worked, but when i reboot play store comes back in the old version.
In my system/app the playstore is named phonesky.apk, not vending.apk (using s'perience rom). What should i do?

Delete the Phonesky.apk and paste the new Vending.apk to /System/app then change the permission to rw-r--r-- or rename the Vending.apk to Phonesky.apk and paste the new Phonesky.apk to /System/app then change the permission to rw-r--r--

Actually you no need to decompile it, just change the .apk to .zip.
The only thing to do is push the OP files into the ".zip".
After that rename .zip to .apk, and push to system.
You're done.
Hit thanks if I helped!
Note: The Z3 framework-res.apk don't have "value" this file. I tried to force push and it give me bootloop.
Note 2: Trying to use another method: compile the .apk by replace the zip.

sorry to bother you again @Pandemic I've just noticed all animations are very smoooth,but i found a small bug with the three-dot-menu animation...this animation is slow. I attached a screenshot so you will know which animation im talking about
