Came across this post in the CM7 forums, thought you'd all want to take a look.
WARNING/DISCLAIMER : By applying this mod, you are going against the contract you signed when you purchased the device. I, akuria, nor anyone of the XDA or CM7 forums will be held responsible for any repercussions you may be hit with by T-Mobile, or any service provider you have chosen for not honoring your contract.
Layman's terms: your fault, not ours. Good luck.
Note: Apply this BEFORE being throttled! Do NOT Flash another ROM while over the limit, or you will be throttled! (Unless you edit the classes.dex BEFORE flashing the ROM. )
Step One:
Okay, find your current rom on your pc (the zip file) and open it with your favorite extractor (winrar is nice)(dictionary - I think 7zip is the best)
Step Two:
Go to the system/framework folder and extract services.jar file onto your desktop.
Step Three:
Now open services.jar and extract classes.dex to the desktop. Cut and paste classes.dex to your sdk/tools folder.
Step Four:
Now, download smali and baksmali.jar from link. Rename them smali.jar and baksmail.jar for easier typing later. Cut and paste those two into the SDK/tools folder also.
Step Five:
Open your command prompt and cd (change directory) to sdk/tools folder. Then type this exactly (without the quotes: "java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex". Look at your sdk/tool folder... that should have created a folder called classout. Open it until you find your files.
Step Six:
Locate the 7 files with "throttleservices" in the title. Delete them! Now type this into command prompt: "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex". That should repack your edited files and create a file called new-classes.dex...
Step Seven:
Cut and paste the new-classes.dex to your desktop and rename it classes.dex.
Step Eight:
Open your services.jar (that should be on the desktop) with winrar (or whatever)(dictionary - again, try/use 7zip) and click add file. Add the classes.dex file from your desktop. It might ask you to replace it or save or not (it will depend on your extractor).
Step Nine:
After you edited your services.jar, copy and paste it to your tools folder. Connect your phone via usb cable to the pc.
Step Ten:
Boot into clockwork recovery. In the clockwork menu, make sure you go to mounts and storage and click mount /system before this next step.
Step Eleven:
Now, open the command prompt from your pc again, and cd to sdk/tools folder (if you are already there, you can skip this step! Good for you).
Step Twelve:
Now type "adb push services.jar /system/framework/". Reboot your phone and enjoy!

Thought this was already covered to not work for throttling data because its not controlled by the phone?

The Desire Z seemed to have a similar method that worked out for them.. so this is tryable.
If it works, great. i dont see how it could though. For throttling to be phone controlled like this, I dont think it would be in AOSP roms, only the t-mo stock rom.
Holy hell I haven't seen you in forever gonna take a crack at this anyway.. got throttled last night and its not fun

That would be awesome if it did work though, tmobile would start sending out nasty messages like I hear at&t does if you use too much data.

Try it. Worse case is you waste a few minutes. Best case - it works. Just doesn't make sense to me. That doesn't mean it wont work.
If someone can incorporate this into a rom update it would be the ****

It is controlled by the phone...
It is not service driven. It is sim driven at the tower level.
I spoke with a tech who works and owns a tower in Allen, TX. He stated it is done by software at the tower level that gets uploaded every 12 hours to your account. Some towers go quicker than others but that hacking your phone that way will not work.

no way around this. it was a g1 thing and a g2 thing. it was fixed on their side long ago. Sorry to disappoint
i have a good friend of mine that works for tmobile and he's not a salesman either... he says theres no way around the throttle from the phones end.. it has more to do with the network_towers_etc.. than it does the phone... yea i know it sucks i think i get throttled every damn month... n e ways... never hurts to try..
This should be removed. We figured this out long ago. There is no patch no mod no thing. Sorry guy.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
i havent tried this method, but i can def tell u that taking off the throttle works from first hand, CK had the mod incorporated into his older rom, the only reason he didnt keep it was cause it caused force closes on the network setting. i was at 7 gigs and wasnt throttled, its never guaranteed but it doesnt hurt to try, theres actually an easier way of changing the setting, i dont remember how tho, but theres an older thread somewhere in here that talks about it, or if your still interested in it, hit him up. his name is ckisgen, that guy is a beast when it comes to roms and knows about the throttling. bottom line, just like some of u have been sayin. "never hurts to try." hope this helps.
ps. if he doesnt respond(cause he's always busy, pm me or somethin, and ill be happy to help u try n find the other way. )
Just talked to him:
didn't seem like it for most .. but i couldnt' use it cos you have to apply it before you get throttled
27:44
is only supposedly keeps your phone from reporting to the tmob servers that your device needs to be throttled
27:44
the actual throttling happens server side
27:44

Well I have a couple apps that I am modding to my liking. I'm modding the actual apk file itself. Is it ok to post them when finished, or could that be an issue
If they are free I don't see why not.
Free does not always equal open source or give you the right to distribute.
You should email the developer to make sure.
I just figured it would get deleted by a Mod due to the fact it wasn't my work originally. I got a couple I know people will like.
Fancy Widget, working on a clear Pandora (couple versions actually), and Some more that I come across.

Wonder how Pandora would respond to a bad grammer, spelling, and sounding email? Hey look at this email this no body actually thinks we will give him permission to distribute our program, just changed to his liking. haha

Haha, post it here and I'm sure we can proof read it for you.
Pandora was only a small start-up not too long ago. Although I think your chances are VERY slim on getting them to give you permission to redistribute their APK. Think about it, what if you started putting in a virus and everyone blames it on Pandora?
If you have a clear theme you want people to use, you're probably better off packaging something yourself that requires users to download the official APK for Pandora and modify the contents themselves.
What I just described is pretty common practice as it puts the modification of the content in the end users hands which is (arguably) within their rights.
So posting a zip of some original images (not modified versions of theirs) and instructions on downloading their APK and making the modifications is the safest way to do it.

All I wanted was a transparent Pandora. I made every widget 50% transparent. I know there is metamorph and there is a theme/skin floating around that will do it. But, I dont like having to go through the process of downloading Metamorph, download this, download that. Just wanted to have it as a apk. I haven't used Metamorph since nexus one sold it 2 months after buying it. Might have changed since then, but it used to fail on doing some skins.
you should just make the theme, and let people morph it themselves. a theme is not the same as distributing the application.
First off, I take no credit in doing this, this is meant to help people if they want to try it. And I am only making thread at request of others members.
If you break your phone I am not responsible, if you have questions though I am more than willing to help as much as I can but this was the first project I did.
There may be easier ways to do this but this is how I did it. If there is, feel free to comment the other ways!
I would like to say thanks to maddoggin and illinois08 for there help in getting mine figured out!
Requirements:
winrar (this is what I prefer but you can use any of your choice)
Original Swype.apk (included in thread and swype needs to be already installed)
image editing software (I personally used gimp and coreldraw) and experience in them.
common sense
What you are actually changing:
To change the look of swype is fairly simple, meaning all you are changing is some .png files in the apk itself to whatever you want them to be.
The only downside is trying to make sure the letter spacing is correct. That is the reason I used coreldraw first to do the spacing and then the background with my flames was in gimp.
First Step:
Using winrar (7zip, etc) open up Swype.apk (I placed on desktop for easier use).
The first folder should say assets. Open up assets. After you open assets, there should be a folder named keyboards. Drag the keyboards folder to desktop.
Once you open the keyboards folder, you will see multiple image files. You have found the files we need to edit! Make sure every png stays in there even if you decided not to edit one of them.
Files SwypeRef_LS_Blue_Shifted_WVGA.png (LS is landscape keyboard) through SwypeRef_PT_Standard_wBlue_VGA.png (PT is portrait, most important for me)
I only edited 4 of the images because these are the main 4 I use and don't use landscape. If you wish you can edit all of them or just 1 .
Second Step:
Using Gimp/or CorelDRAW, you will need to make new images that are 480x320 pixels. At this point, it is totally up to you to get the placements correct and make the image how you want it displayed.
I personally imported the images I was editing to Corel, and basically started a fresh one on top of it so I could get the letter placements correct. You need to make sure when you are done that the image is still 480x320 with the letters not being the end of the size. I made an outline that was 480x320 and placed the letters inside and exported the image that way so it stayed the right size. I would also try to keep the images around 50 kb because mine are around 90 and you noticed some lag when it switched between pngs...
As you are exporting your images, make sure to name them their appropriate names (shifted, capitals, lower case, etc.) which makes it easier to rename them after wards.
Third Step
Once you have all of your images done how you want, I would place them all in their own separate folder.
Now, you will need to open the keyboards folder from earlier and match the images you edited to where they go in "keyboards" and rename your files to the appropriate name and delete its' counter part. Meaning make sure only your image is in keyboards with it renamed to what mode your png represents. And make sure the folder contains every png it did before. They all serve a purpose.
After you have removed all the old pngs and replaced with your renamed images, you will need to open Swype.apk back up and go to assets-> and delete the original keyboards folder. After deleting, move your keyboards folder with your images under assets.
Swype is now edited with your keyboards how you want them!!
Fourth Step:
The only thing left is either adb push Swype.apk to system/app or place on sd card and install with astro,ez,etc.
Another way that is very easy and the way I do it. If you are using a theme, open up on your desktop with winrar. Go to folder system/app and place Swype.apk in app folder. Now flash from recovery and your new and improved swype is ready for action.
I have attached what I made mine look like. Some people may not like how basic it looks and how some of the things are not sized or off correctly but I like it and it works!!
I also added a picture of my custom dropdown which I made in Gimp. If you would like to know how to do one like this send me a PM.
And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I may not be the best at explaining things thoroughly !
I have been getting a lot of PM asking how to edit swype ...
Are my instructions to complicated? If so, let me know and I will try to revise them a bit and sorry!
Nah it's cool man. I mean i get it. idk about everyone else. I haven't got around to trying it yet but this lets me know what to expect.
Ok well that is good! Thanks for the reply...
I hope that post didn't come off as rude, if you sent me a PM I more than willing to help everyone! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't bad instructions ...
Dude this is really nice, I like how you changed the letters to diferent font. Nice job! You should make some more!

Thanks man! Like I said since this was my personal one I didn't go all out and it was kind of sloppy but it suits me fine.
I was thinking about it but not sure what people would want! If some people gave me some ideas of what kind of background or font, I would have no problem making it for them.
Now that I know how to do it (with your help) it won't be as painful as before, just time consuming.
I'm not a user of Swype but I certainly commend the effort that you put into this. It came out great.

Just so everyone is clear, the Swype.apk attached to post is the original swype, not my customized one . Because that is what you have to edit.
Just so no one gets confused.
Thank you for this help. I've wanted to be able to change the way mine looked but have been stuck trying to find someone else's work that suited. I've just started modifying mine and what I've got looks awful but that's because I need to learn how to utilize the imaging programs better. I'm sure I can get it and thank you again for the starter.

Thanks to the hard work of Kalico from the #xoom irc channel, she has deciphered how to create writable images to the elusive logo.bin partition!
Here is a linux script with resource package. Requires having ImageMagick, which most distros have out the box. Read the readme.
Download Splash Maker for Linux
Kalico's Windows Script Here
Eos Motorola Xoom Boot Splash App ( Market Link )
Note: The Linux script is being released as is likely without further support. I got too much ICS stuff to do. Feel free to edit, modify, do as you wish. Just be sure to give some credits. thx
(supposed to be) SECOND!!
EDIT: Somehow got FIRST despite forgetting to sign in. Huge props to Kalico! Be sure to bug her until she puts up a donate link.
With help from me.
So, yeah, I'm slow and I just got this app together.
A few things are assumed:
You know how to operate your computer.
You have the Android Platform Tools installed and adb sees your Xoom
You have ImageMagick installed.
You have the .NET 4.0 Client Profile installed (sue me, it's all I can use)
Your Xoom is plugged in and ADB sees the device.
You assume any responsibility for your hankering with your device.
First things first:
In the folder you run the app from, it will make a config file, and 3 directories where it will store the original image, the raw image, and the flashable bin.
On first run, click on the Options tab and set the location of your adb.exe from the Platform Tools and convert.exe from ImageMagick.
Just run the app, drop your 256x320 image (jpg, gif, bmp, png or tif) and hit the Raw button, then the Bin button, then the Flash button.
I have a VBScript that can be used in the interim, as I am not home and can't get a pretty packaged app together to do this.
It needs to be edited for the paths to adb.exe and ImageMagick's convert.exe (set variables in the file), then your image formatted to 256x320, drag n' dropped onto the .vbs, it will convert the file, and do some adb magic to push and flash it.
Otherwise, wait a week, and I'll have a little app to do it for you.

this is fantastic!
Read my erlier post on this for more info on how I found it, but heres my new commands I have found. I have tried them and they seem to work for me. I want someone else to try them also and see if they work for them.
Commands:
1. %systemroot%\system32\wpd_ci.dll,-100
Im looking into more and I will post when I get them. Let me know what you see if/when you try this commands! Also go into the phones Browser to do this.
whats this supposed to do?
Honestly I am not sure Im going to do a further search and test of commands like this. The string though and the fact that when you put it in your browser it actually pulls something up that isnt a webpage is rather puzzeling because I get a blank screen.
hmm... yeah it's a little strange that it doesn't bing it like it does other stuff. my first thought was that the string was too long or had invalid characters but it just bings everything else.
how exactly did you find this?
Here's step by step:
1.Plug in kin to a windows 7 PC.
2.open devices and printers.
3.open kin properties.
4.open advanced.
5.scroll down the list of info and file pathes.
gr8t
I approve this stuff.
Unfortunately, i have not my kin beside me atm, so i cannot have a peek right now (doh!).
Hoping that we would be able to figure out new stuff.
I would want to read from the samsung memory chip too, but that's outta my reach for now hehehehe.

I have been looking for more in the windows device center without much luck I have a couple other ideas since this things commands seem to be like windows. im going to try %appdata% and others like it when i can.
It isnt a command, sillies.
%systemroot%\system32\wpd_ci.dll,-100 is not a command.
its an icon file path.
%systemroot% looks in the system root folder (Windows)
system32 looks in the folder "system32"
wpd_ci.dll is the dll containing the icon and when you add ,-100
wpd_ci.dll,-100 tells it to grab the icon id-ed as 100 from the dll file wpd_ci.dll
also, just because it has 100 does not mean there are 100 icons in the file. 100 is the icon ID.
example: %SystemRoot%\system32\wpdshext.dll,-701
in wpdshext.dll there is not 701 icons, but only about 9 or 10. BUT, the 701 reffers to a specific icon id-ed as 701 in that file.
UPDATE:
here are images that demonstrate my point. (must rebuild links)
this shows that in wpd_ci.dll there is only 1 icon, so we can assume its id is 100 as referred to by the ,-100.
i.imgur com/7UtnG.jpg
this second image shows that the icon it referred to is used for the device icon with device manager, because, as you can see in the image, my kin shows up in device manager with the icon.

This is old. So old it was from when I was still a semi-noob on XDA. I haven't even been on the Kin forums in over a year. We arent getting anywhere with this phone unfortunately. I'm just watching and waiting for a breakthrough, then I might get back in on this.

Hi
This is my first post and I hope that I have posted to the write forum!
I have a rooted Note II phone and I pulled the Candy crush APK down to my PC.
I have decompiled the APK and compiled the APK and signed the APK. I have copied the new APK down to the phone, installs OK but runs it stays on the Home Page and crashes.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I have not change anything just decompiling and compiling /signing and testing.
This is what I have done so far:
1. APKTOOL d Candy.apk
2. APKTOOL b Candy Candy2.apk
3. java -jar SignApk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 Candy2.apk Clash2Signed.apk
4. Copied to phone, installed OK but stays on the home page.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

if it is an app with online functions, may be failing a signature check since the original developers signature is replaced.
What are you trying to do? Hack it for 1000 lives, 200 moves, no tickets and slow timer?

Yes thank you.
I think I have found the problem but still seeking a solution, looking at the log file I am seeing the following error:
E/FictionFactory( 9936): Trying to seek in a file which probably is compressed! This is not possible. Either remove the seeking or add the file to the list of extensions which should not be compressed.
Any ideas?

Look at the original apk and your new one, and make sure anything that isn't compressed in the original is not compressed in the new one as well. I've seen issues like this come up w/ .ogg files in the /res/raw/ directory, but it could exist anywhere really.

Thank you finally got it to work!!!
The issue was pretty straight forward, all the tutorials that I have seen have always steered me decompile, compile and sign which has not worked for me so far.
The way I got around this was to add my changes to the original APK file, resign it and hey it worked.
