[GUIDE] Porting Android 3.0 Honeycomb Lockscreen Digital Clock to any Android Phone

Porting Android 3.0 Honeycomb Lockscreen Digital Clock
I think you all are aware of the new Honeycomb Lockscreen Digital Clock that has 2 colors. It adds a funky look and is pretty cool and nice on the Lockscreen. I have decided to port it from Honeycomb SDK to other Android Devices.
I have tested it and it works well on Galaxy S XWJVB Android 2.3.3. I suppose it should work fine for other devices too.
What's so special in this Digital Clock?
This is an obvious question. Why to port the digital clock when a simple TTF font file replacement could do the job? Hmm.. Have you noticed that the Clock uses 2 font colors? A TTF file generally contains the font, but the color attribute is specified in the XML file. Hence, the Digits in the clock can only carry one color attribute. The Digital Clock in Honeycomb uses special rendering to display 2 font colors. Its relatively simple.
There are 2 TTF file which contain distinct digits. Hence 2 types of Clock Text with 2 different font faces are rendered. They are overlapped on each other and using XML attributes each "Textview" is assigned a different text color. This is what creates the funky looking digits. Pretty Cool eh?
Instructions for developers.
1. Download the attached Source.
2. Decompile the framework-res.apk with APK Manager and make the required changes that are provided in the Source. You need to add a new ID in ids.xml "timeDisplayForeground" and make the appropriate addition in the public.xml too. Recompile when done.
3. Decompile the classes.dex from framework.jar to .smali files using baksmali utility.
5. Open the public.xml in framework-res.apk that you have edited previously.
6. Open DigitalClock.smali provided in the Source with a Text Editor and Search for "onFinishInflate", and change the 2 ID references to "timeDisplay" and "timeDisplayForeground" reference codes present in public.xml respectively.
7. Open DigitalClock$AmPm.smali and change the resource id under .line 103 to "am_pm" reference code present in public.xml
8. Replace the smali files that you have edited along with the other files and copy them to your decompiled framework. You need to replace them in com/android/internal/widget/
9. Recompile the framework.
10. Copy both the framework files to the framework folder in the device and copy the 2 font files provided to the fonts folder.
11. Reboot the device. If everything is done properly, you will see the magic

For users
I have decided not to make a version exclusive for the mod due to compatibility issues with other ROMs, hence I have applied this mod to my 5 lockscreen mod for Galaxy S JVB.

Good stuff,
Get some screenshots up of what you've managed so far, and I'll get to work on getting you the APK's

If you want screens, click on my sig, its basicly the theme from my rom, but without AOSP, Extended power and overscroll. Some things may turn out different, still making some stuff

Theme is up, ENJOY!!

Please could you also share your wallpaper?
Is it possible to use the UOT Kitchen with the SGS II by removing the framework and systemUI apks from the system dump in the development section?

You can use UOT, I used it for a couple of the mods on this, only reccomendation is to pull the apk's from your phone as the system dump is from an older pre-release software

Nice work

Alright DOC! I know its off topic, but please tell me you are bringing rom kitchen to SGS II I love it
EDIT: Just looked at the site
And as for transparent statusbar, my flawless technique for getting it working is UOT kitchen. it just works! I tried manually and failed, but it is transparent, well translucent if u wanna be picky

Would be good to have the old TV box effect on lock - i thought I saw it in an earlier version. Has it been removed from this one?

Adding CRT Off anim now, sry bout that, totaly forgot

Ermm.. thats how I did it so i dunno.
try using this theme and editing the png's. I dont care if you use it ;P

How easy is it to go back to original from this theme???
Also whay do you do with the framework-res_0.zip - just rename it to framework-res.apk ????

how does this work becuase the system apps have .odex files.. dont you have to remove this first.. adb push will not remove them?

[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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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)

Added CRT off effect

I am running Domination HD rom, flashed with CMW, boots fine but i have no notification bar at all.
Any ideas or is it maybe only compatible with stock roms?

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?

You need root to do this. If you are using ES file explorer you need to edit settings in order to edit files in /system. Menu - Settings - check "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System".

sorry but there is a bug
i am using this
when battery is charged fully. the number 99 increases to 100 and then in a tick tock it backs to 99 and again increases to 100 in a tick tock
99, 100, 99, 100, 99, 100 continously

These look really nice, are they mods you did of the Xperia S ICS stock SystemUI.apk file or from a different firmware?

There should be no problems with it, working fine for me and others.. You can try with Androxyde's kernel and follow these instructions to push the SystemUI.apk through adb:
Open cmd in same folder as the .apk

1. Using Photoshop or similar create a trasparent image (% as you wish) and save it as .png. If you insert a texture or image, use your device resolution for better results. Make two copies and rename its as "background_holo_dark.png" and "background_dial_holo_dark.png"
2. Decompile framework-res.apk. You can follow this great guide
3. Browse to res/values and open styles.xml. Search code for "<style name="Theme.Holo" parent="@style/Theme">"
4. On it, search this line "<item name="windowShowWallpaper">false</item>" (using Komodo is line 1006) and replace values with true. Save and close.
5. Browse to res/drawable-nodpi and replace existing background_holo_dark.png with your image
6. Recompile framework-res. You may refer to guide posted above
7. Using winrar or similar browse into Contacs.apk to res/drawable-nodpi and replace existing background_dial_holo_dark.png with your image (simply drag&drop, be careful to set compression to Store)
8. Replace framework-res and Contacts.apk on your device (Root explorer, adb, flash through recovery). Personally I also clear cache and dalvik cache
9. Enjoy your modded apks!
After the editing of framework-res.apk you may visit this thread to download also my transparent calendar and mms apks!
Remeber: always perform backup before replace any system file! Also, I'm no responsible for any problems that may occure on your phone
Attached you can find two transparent background 480x800
Here some screenshots (second one from esk02k)
{
"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_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. Of course, this method allows you to change backgroung also with any non transparent image. You simply have to rename your two image copies as reported in point 1. Then replace the original file using winrar or similar as in point 7. You don't need to decompile framework-res.apk in this case!

Thanks but can I use 7zip
I don't like to Decompile and decompile process I think it's hard

You can use 7zip to replace image on Contacts.apk, but you need to decompile framework-res.apk to modify styles.xml.
If you follow the linked guide you will see that compile/decompile apks is not so difficult!

Sorry
What link do you mean ?

nice, thanx.
But one question, do you know how to change the color of font in contacts? ie. from black to white? like how it is in dial...

Hi is it possible for you to make the stock calendar background transparent??? I hate the stock look!!.

can we use VRT universal theme flasher for CM9 Roms?
replacing framework-res usually deletes every account registered on the device. I used vrt zips on stock-based Roms easilly. but when I was trying to use it on a CM9 Rom iit just crashed everything.

During last days I've replaced framework-res about one hundred of times I think, and I never lost any account. Don't know what VRT is, I usually flash new framework-res with recovery.

Yea you can. Im using a zip I posted here. Its by Villain team and JRsoft. I haven't had any problems with it. This ones set up to replace the whole framework though so dont flash it on anything other than paranoid 1.6.

Hi,
This material is gold, my friend, thank very much.
But, i followed every single step on this, but i can't get transparency in contacts, only in phone application, and all the rom...very cool.
But my contacts background it's completely dark.
I also changed framework, inside res/drawable-nodpi, background_holo_light.png to a transparent png file with the same name....but didn't worked also...
So, what to do?

use the contacts.apk I posted in the zip above. Backup yours first of course, it can be found in the extras/system/app folder of the zip.

Many thanks, esk02k, it worked like a charm...
But, what's the difference between this one and the one i used? (F1 rom, from faryaab) Did you change anything else on this?
Cheers

Hi,
Here' the good MOD : ww.phonandroid.com/forum/rom-andyx-4-0-4-v5-t16615-1490.html#p297978
It's is normal you've only phone.apk transparent.
Having contacts.apk too, you need edit xml and compile it.

I didn't find any "how to" about transparency on that thread...just a guy who post some pics of transparency and said it was very easy.....
So, everyone is telling "need to edit xml on contacts.apk and compile"...i'm tired of know that...it would be more useful say which files, where and what to do.
Cheers

The easiest way is taking my files.
Compiling AOKP contacts.apk gives a lot of problem. It's a know bug and any tools can compile it correctly.
(excuse me for my bad english, I'm french)

The rest is the framework See the title, you're in the right thred !
Yes, MMS.apk is transparent too.
If you don't want it, remove it from the zip.
