[APP]hero lock screen wallpaper (updated-22/06/09) - now easier to change

made it easier to change the lockscreen wallpaper for you lot
image has to be 320x480 for it to look normal and has to be a .jpg
you have to have adb set up
instructions:
1. download and unzip the lock screen folder to anywhere you want
2. place your desired image into the lockscreen folder (make sure theres only one image here)
3. double click lockscreen.bat
4. wait for your phone to reboot with your new lockscreen image

this WORKS
my steps were:
1. download the file... unzip and open lockscreen folder
2. place an image 320x480 in this folder (The name does not matter, will be renamed in process)
3. Connect phone (ADB is required)
4. Run .bat file (ADB remount, rename, and cp to default_lockscreen land/port)
5. It will reboot on its own
6. SEE ATACHMENT.. Youre all done..

Is this a straight rip of it? Meaning it displays calendar, music and message notifications while locked?

this is for the hero rom only, as when you try and change your lock screen wallpaper the gallerly crashes. the only way to do it is through adb or terminal
i just made this to make things easier when i wanted to change my wallpaper and id thought i share it

That's what I figured, just wasn't clear. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

How exactly do you change the wallpaper manually? I have a 320x480 jpg that I want to use for my lockscreen wallpaper and named it Default_lockscreen.jpg and put it on the root of my sd. This is what I did:
Code:
# rm -r /system/etc/lockscreen/port/Default_lockscreen.jpg
# cp /sdcard/Default_lockscreen.jpg /system/etc/lockscreen/port/Default_lockscreen.jpg
Then rebooted. But it didn't work, it just shows no wallpaper when it should show the lockscreen wallpaper. What do I need to do?

just use the bat file i posted its quicker, if you want to do it manually you need to add the lock screen image to the landscape folder in /system/etc aswel

damn so easy, love it, good work...

hmmmmmmmm....
this is not working for me,,,,,,
damn idk....

I dont know if I did it correctly... the cmd prompt only popped up for a split second it renamed the picture but did not reboot the phone...
Yes I have adb installed correctly. I use it all the time.
Does it matter where I extract the lockscreen folder? edit: ANSWER: it can be extracted anywhere. I have it on my desktop.
EDIT:
Fixed... for people with the same problem try rebooting your phone before you try this process. It works.

i posted how to fix this a few days ago...

Bumped for everyone using SuperHERO rom and complaining about Lockscreen wallpaper.

I've searched and i cant find a way to switch the hero lock screen through terminal emu. I know that for the method posted on the OP u need ADB but is there a way to do it on terminal? and if so could some one post the coding...
Thanks in advanced..

There's a way but I'm not too sure of the codes. If you have ADB working for you on your pc this would be easiest. It runs all the commands for you then reboots your phone.

Hey, can someone post a nice little image so I don't have to go about making my own? Thanks!

Here is the lock-screen from the 1st 'superhero' build..as well as others. I will update as I get time and also I do not take any credit for these as they are not my creations.

what i did is made a folder named (bootanimation) and drop the one i like into it and zip it with winzip and now have a zip file called bootanimation.zip
and push it with adb. like this:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip hit enter your all done. make sur you put the zip file into the tools folder in you androidsdk folder

this would be awesome for 1.6 roms, is there anyway to do it?

I was trying to get Splash loaded up. I made sure that it was in /system/media/, but my bootanimation didn't change. I've got a blue Droid bootanimation that works just fine.

Good work. It works and my phone boots up fine. But the animation doesn't loop, it just plays it a single time and stops at the last image. Anyone has the same 'problem'?

How will this work with CM6? Since it is newer than Eclair can it also run these without problems?

[MOD] Rotating Phone.apk for XWKE2 XWKE7

Hello everyone
I present you a modified Phone.apk that features auto-rotation not just in the dialpad, but also in the Phone application itself while in call.
Ruksak - Maybe this one helps you feel better?
All the coding/modification work here was done by pawitp.
What is it:
Based on XWKE2/7 Phone.apk (original attached).
Adds autorotation to Phone.apk
Tested on rooted SGS II with KE2/7
All the work was done by pawitp, I only supplied the original files and tested.
Sources : Smali diff can be found here : http://sprunge.us/hPSK?diff and also attached as text file incase link goes down.
Enjoy.
Prerequisites :
XWKE2/7 Rom
Rooted
Busybox
ADB access to your phone via WIRE incase something goes wrong.
You need to understand that if anything goes wrong, You might need to restore the Original (attached) Phone.apk and Phone.odex files, if you fail doing that, you will have to reflash the PDA file of your firmware.
Myself or Pawitp will not take any responsibility of the results of what might happen to your phone while using this MOD.
Install Guide With ADB : (Or if you have Root explorer, you can do this)
Copy Phone - KEX - Modified.apk to your SDCARD, and rename it to Phone.apk (KEX should be replaced with your version, either KE2 or KE7)
Using ADB shell (or any other way) do the following :
Mount system as RW (busybox mount -o remount,rw /system)
Delete Phone.odex from /system/app (rm /system/app/Phone.odex)
copy over the modified Phone.apk to /system/app (cp /sdcard/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk)
sync
reboot
enjoy.

This is very cool; but I'm not comfortable doing the command line stuff
Any chance someone can create an installer for this?

Can OP make the Dialer MultiDPI similar to the below thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10179367
Thanks

That actually looks awesome. Nice work!

Pawitp said he will be very busy, and won't have time for special features.
It is what it is, About installer, there is still no CWM for SGS II, So you will have to use the specified method. Sorry guys.
Maybe ask Pulsar to integrate this into his app

I guess doing it via Root Explorer will work just fine?

Can confirm works perfectly via Root Explorer, so simple, just copy the modded apk first, browse to system/app and mount as R/W then delete phone.odex and paste phone.apk overwriting the exiting one. Set the permissions to match the original and mount as R/O again and reboot.
Excellent mod thanks, this will be very handy when in the car

Great
Added your post as reference to 1st post.

KE7 version was added (OP), Enjoy
As always, Credits are due to Pawitp.

I just used the KE2 version on KE7 allt his time, looks like the sizes are different so I wonder what the changes are between the versions!
Anyway, updated cheers

Thanks! Just what I was looking for for when I'm driving and my phone is docked
Tested it on "Lite'ning Rom v1.0" (KE7) with RTL fix for Hebrew and can confirm that it's working great!

Very nice work
thank very much

Same here. Literally only the dialer screen rotates, not the screen where you answer/call somebody.
Maybe this can be fixed because it's quite a shame indeed!

Anyone can confirm this??

THANKS, perfect apk

Works great! phone.apk was the last app that didn't run in landscape. Handy for in my car.. (I used the method with root explorer) Thanks a lot!

[APP] Mms.apk with different colors

Hi all,
I thought I'd share my modded Mms.apk with you. This was pulled from Calk's latest ROM. It should, however, work with any EL29 ROM. The only modifications are colors of the message bubbles, pulled from this MMS app. I tried using the app, but I was getting file compression errors when sending images, so I just modded the original Mms.apk slightly.
AS ALWAYS - YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Install via adb (Windows):
1. Connect your phone to PC
2. Make sure USB debugging is enabled
3. open command prompt in the same folder as Android SDK or make sure you have PATH specified to it; place Mms.apk in the same folder
4. Type adb start-server at command prompt
5. Type adb remount
6. Type adb push Mms.apk /system/app
7. Type adb reboot
Once your phone reboots, you will have the new MMS.apk fully functional. You may have to re-add the Messaging link to the bottom bar.
If you have ROOT EXPLORER, you can simply copy Mms.apk into your /system/app folder replacing the original file. Back it up first, though, if you want to revert back to it.
Enjoy.

Cant you just drop it on your SD card then navigate your phone using ES file explorer or root explorer and copy and paste it into the system/app folder replacing the one thats in there, then reboot to get it to work?
If I am incorrect please let me know before I make a fatal error.... lol

I can't speak for THIS apk, however I just took a mms.apk from another rom, did exactly as you described but also changed the permissions, and it works fine. Why don't you make a back up and give it a go.

You can certainly install it using ROOT explorer. Works either way.

If I want to change the colors for the conversation list would the images be in the hdpi folder and the lines and stuff in the xml?
Sent from my Epic™ 4G Touch

Anybody got a pic of the conversation list?

looks good , its just what i was looking for

Honestly, I have no idea. This was a simple PNG swap from another Mms.apk.

I would also like to have this for Calks ICS ROM. Any chance one could modify that for us?

This is funny I made one just like this a long time ago. It came from sensation rom if I remember correctly. Looks good.

or anyone know of one that could just replace the mms.apk and still work.

I'd like to be able to do this with MIUI's MMS application and their phone app. I tried on THE GOODNESS ICS but the app just force closes. Anybody know a way to do this?

anyone know how?

You can get your own colors. For that you have to edit the message_bubble_xxx_.9.png files located in the res/drawable-hdpi directory inside the Mms.apk. These .9.png files are system-resizable PNGs that have to be edited with a special tool, like Draw9patch. If you google "how to edit .9.png files" you will find all sorts of tutorials and explanations.
Good luck.

[SCRIPT] shellpaste v0.4

This is a handy little shell script I wrote today that I used to copy files to /system/app folder. This is the first thing I ever wrote for Android so I don't know if anyone has any use for this but there ya go.

To use simply download the shellpaste.txt from below and rename it to shellpaste.sh. Put the file in the root of your SD card then go to android terminal and type the following:
Code:
sh /sdcard/shellpaste.sh
Changelog:
Code:
shellpaste v0.4
-now supports all folders not just /system.
-added chmod to actually make it useful. Thanks Tigger31337.

-first release.

Thanks man this is very helpful for the things I do. Cheers.

Awesome! Hope it serves you well.

small scripts, medium tricks, big handy

Does this address permissioning after the file(s) are copied?
No offense, but yours seems like a rather convoluted method when you've got things like adb push or just drag and drop from the PC. If the apk is already on your phone, then you need only do a cut and paste to /system (with, say, Root Explorer) and then set permissions. Done.
Also, it's not very flexible. What if I want to copy to /data? Another script??

None taken. The script changes the permissions to r/w, copies the file, then changes it back to read-only. As I said, this was just a script I wrote to help me with what I needed to do at the time. Maybe I'll write a new version that supports any folder the user chooses.. I agree, it's not exactly an elegant solution but I'm a complete noob at this. You gotta start somewhere, right?
Edit: Also, I am completely open to feature suggestions. So if there's anything more advanced you guys would like to see in newer versions feel free to post. I'm using this as a tool to learn as much as possible.
Sent from my htc wildfire s a510e using XDA

I don't mean permissions at the f/s mount level, I mean permissions at the file level (i.e. chmod).
If you're copying an apk to /system/app, then eventually you'll need to chmod it to 644 before it will execute properly. Maybe I'm missing something, but copying an apk from SD card to /system isn't going to do this for you automatically.

I have a suggestion to your script
Example: I pushed a systemUI.apk in system/app folder through adb now when you look at your phone the statusbar dissappears, of course because of push, now can you make a script to rerun the apk or execute it, like mounting it dunno the exact word, so that you won't have to reboot your phone to see your statusbar again, instead just run it like windows run. This is usefull if your modding the APK.

Gotcha. Completely forgot about chmod.
I'll try to make it reinstall the systemui.apk without rebooting but could use some pointers on how to achieve this.
Edit:
Made a new version that supports mounting of all folders and added chmod into the mix. Should work properly now.

I've never used android scripts before but I'm guessing you could just do
exec /system/app/whatever.apk
But idk on that one.

I do exactly this on the WildChild ROM, using pm disable/enable.
It's a method I came up with by myself (so, it's not very elegant but it gets the job done ). There might be other ways of doing it, but I haven't seen any yet.
