[REQ] Stock JPY/JS3 AOSP 4 Lockscreen + Extented menu framework.

Can someone please make a "theme" with the stock framework from jpy or js3 that just has the 4 lock screens and extended menu?
Thanks a lot!

You could've just written your wishes here, here or here.
No need for opening new thread really. And there are even more threads, I just browsed through pages, didn't even use the search function.

Thanks, one thread was nice, I missed that one!
I just read them all and nobody was able to make a stock theme with the lockscreens and extended menu. So I'm back to my original request; can someone with more skills please make one and share it?

I can't believe none of the talented modders here can't make a stock theme with 4 lockscreens and extented menu. This could be used as base for many of the less skill-full theme modders such as myself a lot.

Give it a try!
Edit:
I wrote a little guide, it may help you a bit:
4 lockscreen mod
You need to have a deodexed ROM to install the 4 lockscreen mod.
1.
Download
Code:
framework-res.apk
twframework-res.apk
framework.jar
android.policy.jar
Settings.apk
from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844514 ROM. It's not that heavily modified, so it should work quite good with stock icons.
2.
Take
Code:
framework-res.apk
twframework-res.apk
from your stock Samsung-ROM and open
framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi using 7-zip.
3.
Open the modded
framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) using 7.zip.
4.
Copy all ICONS from stock framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi to modded framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi(-v4).
Close framework-res.apk (both)
5.
Open stock
twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi using 7.zip.
6.
Open the modded
twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi(-v4) using 7.zip.
7.
Copy all ICONS from stock twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi to modded twframework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi(-v4).
Close twframework-res.apk (both)
8.
Take all your modded 4 lockscreen files (framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, framework.jar, android.policy.jar and Settings.apk) and build an update.zip.
9.
Make a backup and install your update.zip
You should now have a pretty stock Samsung-theme with working 4 lockscreen mod.
10.
There will be some themed icons left (e.g. charging animation), some xml have to be edited.
I'll help when you need help.

Thanks a lot fo the guide. I will give it a go and maybe share my silly ROM if I'm happy with it.

You've written this guide several times and even for me, I gave up on this coz I never got it to work, boot loops or stuck on the boot logo, are you able to make a 100% stock JS3 theme with the 4 lock screen mod and just post the finished product here, its easier for everyone and for you to just post the finished product.
I would assume you've already tried the method you posted above?

Works fine on JPY. Flash in CWM. Backup first.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5906223/xda/stock_4lockscreen.zip
Not 100% stock, I left some work for you
Battery icons have to be changed, you'll make that.

thx a lot scheichuwe. i've tried on doc rom xwjs3 and the 4 lockscreen works. but i found some bug
- %d%% text appear instead of ongoing in notification bar
- "ongoing" text appear instead of clear button in same place
- when i click on wi fi or bluetooth wrong text appear instead of on/off text
- when empty battery notification appear. again, wrong text appear
so how do i fix that? thx in advance.

id's differ - jpy <-> js3
for simple, just copy decompiled public.xml, strings.xml [cause apktool_dummy..] from stock js3-framework-res.apk (/res/values/)
to decompiled jpy-folder
then just compile and at last change png's within framework-res.apk (/res/drawable-hdpi-v4/)
attached file / stock js3 framework

Any full stock rom deodexed with the extras to download?

I tried this and my icons changed which was nice but I didn't get the lockscreen or extended menu.

I will try and make one theme soon with only 4 lockscreen and extended settings. I have tried a lot of themes now, but stock icons are really fine for me.
One is to green or to blue or whatever....
I just want a "clean" docrom with JS5 and only 4 lockscreen and extended settings. That's all !

Keep an eye on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952579

If someone could instruct me on how to re-archive the factoryfs.rfs file I think I could make a ROM that can be flashed with Odin so its all there from a clean install with all the lock screens and extended menu.
I've extracted the files with MagicISO but if I resave them with it, it doesn't seem to flash properly. I think the file system has changed because I'm using MagicISO.

[Q] Theme errors in apkmanager compile/decompile

I've just tried some of the themes available here against the apkmanager tool - decompiling and then compiling the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and all of the custom themes give tons of errors (sometimes won;t even compile back) .. the only one that goes without troubles is the stock framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
I'm just wondering whether this is correct or not and where is the issue - is it apkmanager or the themes that are wrong ?

I never had much luck with APKManager, that's why I use APKTool.
Try v1.3.1 if you can find it, 1.3.2 has problems.

Apk Manager uses apktool too.
@w83
Take a look at log.txt.
I guess it's due to corrupted .9.png.
Solution:
Replace all modded .9.png with original files, decompile, make your changes, compile.
Then you can put in your modded .9.pngs again...

Is it really a solution ? .. cause it seems like all of the modded .9.pngs are basically broken

You're right, let's say workaround
For fixing your modded .9.png search for xUltimate draw 9 patcher. I don't know what it's called exactly.
But for editing framework-res.apk the workaround should be acceptable.

I can manage to decompile the theme (usually with some patched pngs messed up) but when I try to compile it (even without any changes) I end up with tons of errors in the form:
apktools/vagreen_frame/res/values/public.xml:3760: error: Public symbol drawable/zzzzz_tw_quickcontact_top_frame declared here is not defined.
(lots of these ones)
any idea what's wrong ?

Once your 9.pngs are poorly done, errors such as the above would appear. There were only 6 9.png errors and the log generated a loh file size of 130+kb. But once solved, all errors were eliminated.

I'm either using the android sdk draw9patch to generate the pngs or even GIMP to do it. Just make sure the first and last row/column must be either alpha or black. No other colours are allowed there.

Ok so ur saying that after I should correct the patch 9 pngs in the framework and it should compile correctly ? .. so two options: [1] decompile, replace the pngs with correct ones, compile ? .. or .. [2] correct pngs, compile in eclipse, replace in framework, decompile, compile ?
I am pretty sure that I've already tried correcting them using [1] and it didn't help at all .. I was still flooded with errors ..
I guess I'll try to modify things from the bottom up .. take the stock theme with extended menu and play around with it .. are there any significant changes in the .jars inside the /system/framework in most of current themes ?
but still it would be way nicer if I could decompile and compile one of current themes without errors .. I'm so curious how the theme gurus are doing it .. I envy their knowledge

Replace all modded .9.png with original files, decompile, make your changes, compile.

The person who made the theme did it lazily and incorrectly. The first couple versions of my ROM had this problem. Did some research into how .9 PNGs work.
If you want to fix them, I can tell you how. It's a bit tedious.

Spent a couple days fixing every .9 PNG one at a time. All you have to do is:
Decompile the unthemed .apk
Copy the broken PNG equivalents from the unthemed .apk
Decompile the themed .apk
Delete the broken .9 PNGs
APK Manager will rename the broken xxxxx.9.png to xxxxx.png
Open the non-broken PNGs in your favorite image editor
Delete everything but the 1 pixel border
Paste the edited PNG over it, without touching the 1 pixel border
Save
Recompile the themed.apk

You can just edit the broken png in draw9patch (or gimp or whatever) but sticking to the patch 9 png rules
Thanks for sharing !

Could you briefly explain how the editing in draw9patch is done, please.

But lets say I want to change the default blue of 'statusbar_background.9.png' to full plain black. If I leave the 1 pixel border and fill the rest to black, wouldn't I have a blue border in the status bar?

No, there's a special one pixel border that has black and transparent pixels that tell the system how to stretch the image without making it look stretched.
That's why you'll note that .9 PNG files are buttons and other things that are used to make different sized objects.

[Q] THEMES

Hello everyone.I would like to ask something and i hope someone will answer.
I'm fan of some themes.But in one theme i like that and in the other i like that.
Is there a way to make a mix of them and how?
Thanks in advance!!!

Yes, it is possible.

Thanks a lot.Now i need a lot of study to accomplise that!!!

you can easily change the png files in the framework-res.apk and the twframework-res.apk of any theme's zip.just take any theme as a base and change the pngs within opening the theme and then the apks by winrar or something like it.the pngs are stored in the drawable-hdpi and/or drawable-hdpi-v4 folders.

Whenever I try to change framework res, and replace the old edited frameworkres I get bootloops. After that I have to flash a stock rom with odin and then flash my cooked rom. Even if I push the original framework res.apk, that doesn't solve the problem. No issue with twframework res.apk. I can edit twframework res .APK and works fine.
Please help.

try using 7zip instead, its better at replacing files

reflashing a whole rom shouldn't be necessary
first of all, you should make a backup of your system, just in case
and you should always keep a working theme on your phone so that if you get stuck at boot, you just boot into CWM and flash the working one and everything should be fine again
and for your basic problem of editing themes, have a look at R64s guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10383323&postcount=577
explains all the basic stuff and works great for me

Customize your phone (theme/icons/locksreen)

Hello dear Forum...
First off I have to apologize if I missed something in a sticky,
since I'm new to the forum and the hole rooting/customizing on my GT I-9000.
I've successfully rooted my phone and I'm running Darky_v10_RC5_Final now.
Could anyone provide a link or an explanation how to:
# set own icons for apps
# set lockscreen (as its said there are 4 different ones on this ROM; plus changing the lockscreen image in the settings is not quite working for me)
# setting another theme - if not too complicated.
many thanks in advance - seems to be a truly nice community!

To change the icon in an apk, you need to get the apk, open it with winrar and go to drawable-hdpi
There are pngs there. Normally, the icon one is called icon.png, but on some apps, it has a different name, for example ic_launcher_phone.png
You edit it and substitute it.
Then you push the apk back into your phone into /system/app in case it's a system app or you just copy the apk to your sdcard and install it.
Lockscreen background may not work with some specific lockscreens.
For a theme, to make one you'd need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi (opening it with winrar) and then push it back. That's for changing icons and part of the appearance, but to change text colours and other things you'd need to decompile the apk and edit some xml's.
To apply a theme you just need the zip of the theme, copy it into your sdcard and install it through cwm.

Sorry, had lost track of this thread.
You can change the icon of stock applications in same way, but you must be rooted since they are located in system/app
For the lockscreen, to theme the glass lockscreen, you need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi named zzz_unlock_arrow_0000.png up to zzz_unlock_arrow_0009.png and the zzz_unlock_blackbg.9.png and zzz_blackbg_dual.9.png
To theme puzzle lockscreen:
edit zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock and zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock_fit
For android lockscreen (in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-land-hdpi):
ic_jog_dial_unlock
ic_jog_dial_sound on
ic_jog_dial_sound off
For epic unlock on framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
In case you want to get a stock framework and get aosp lockscreen:
To get aosp lockscreen you'd need to decompile classes.dex in android.policy.jar and edit a few files.
For that, i use ubuntu.
You open android.policy.jar and extract classes.dex
Then get baksmali and smali and place them in the same location as classes.dex
Open up a terminal and type cd and the location
Example:
cd /home/coldflid/Desktop
Then type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex
(if you've got another version of bajsmali change the 1.2.5 for the version you have).
You can type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex -o *
Where * is the name of the folder where you want classes.dex to be decompiled
Then you'd need to mod LockPatternKeyGuardView.smali or replace it with a modded one.
Then type in terminal
Then type java -jar smali-1.2.5.jar *
Where * is the name of the folder where classes.dex was decompiled
out.dex should be generated, rename it to classes.dex and copy it to android.policy.jar (replace the old one).
Then use root explorer to copy it to system/framework

How to build my own theme?

Hello, I am looking forward on creating my own them for Galaxy S2, so I suppose I need to find where all the icons are located.
I will probably open the stock samsung theme graphics in photoshop and edit them, so any idea where they are located?
Is this the correct way of doing it?

Easy and beginers way:
Start with UOT kitchen: http://uot.dakra.lt/
Get the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from the rom which you want to theme. Upload it to the kitchen and edit what you want.
Cook the theme and flash it with CWM as an update.
More advanced:
Get the toucwiz's framework and Settings.apk, you can edit png's of settings menu and touchwiz launcher. (you can not do this with UOT kitchen)

Get the toucwiz's framework and Settings.apk, you can edit png's of settings menu and touchwiz launcher. (you can not do this with UOT kitchen)

Thank you, what about the Notification bar power controls? Where can these be found?

In the UOT kitchen: go to icons (check "Use this mod"), scroll down and check "Notification Power Buttons" and just choose any icon set you want. You can choose between 8 types of icons.

No I meant, in which apk are they found, so I can replace them with my own.
Is it on the framework-res.apk or systemUI.apk ?
/edit: Found them, on SystemUI.apk -> res folder
But it seems they are indexed png images, so can't edit them in photoshop. I suppose I will have to replace them.

Ok one more question would be, is it possible to change the color of the White popup windows?(like the one that popus when you long press the power button).
I know it's possible to edit the background color, but what about the font color? I suppose it's found on the xml.
Here's how the popup is displayed on kitchen:

Sorry man but I don't know answer to that question.

Well I found that the font colors may exist on framework-res\res\values\colors.xml if you decompile framework-res.apk
But after changing a color value, I then compiled the apk, replaced the new on on my phone and got boot loop so I had to re-flash a different theme to unstuck.
If anyone got any idea on how to change the font colors let me know!

If you have a search in the "how to theme" thread (link already posted) I put up a zip that I had lying on my desk top that tells you where to find a lot of the text colours.
The only problem with editing these is some apps will still use their own colour code and could cause problems like readability.
Hope this helps.
Edit: I had them on my sd card, credit to the creator!!!

I've posted them in my last post m8

Oh now I see it, so the one I am looking for is bright_foreground_light color. I want that in white, so the hex would be this one right? #ffffffff
Well that's what I did, then compiled the framework-res and replaced it on the Systems folder, then rebooted the phone but I got a reboot loop.
Any suggestions?

What did you use apkmanager?
If so did you answer yes and yes then delete what you modified from the keep folder

I used apktool:
apktool b framework-res(folder)
but as I can see now, the new apk compiled it's missing the META-INF folder, maybe that's why?
/edit:
So I just tried with apk-manager, I used the same method then compiled (answered yes/yes) now I have this:
unsignedframework-res.apk
But getting an error when trying to sign it.

Don't sign it, you don't sign system apks.
Just delete the "unsigned" part or rename to framework-res.apk and push or flash and it should work.

Ok thanks.
I just replaced it but no go, the font is still black(atleast there is no boot loop this time).
I suppose I messed up the part on apk_manager where it says to delete any files you modified on the "keep" folder.
On keep folder there was no value/colors.xml(colors.xml is the one I edited the bright_foreground_light).
Cheers

Did you delete resources.arsc?

No, let me try again.
Success! Dude you rock! Thanks a lot, for providing lot's of great info about this, here it is: blue font and full black pop-up menus.
Also attached two more shots of the theme I am making:

Basically resources.arsc is the"hidden" xml folders that become visible when you decompile.
