dont know if this has been up, but i just last night was going through som forums and got the knowledge of that u can use custom animation transitions,
i couldnt realy find anything that was cool but i searched around anyways.
got a hold of this site
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/226604-how-mod-custom-transition-animations.html
where u can watch vids of some transitions.. and at the bottom u can download them.
i just downloaded the gingerbread theme i use and made copys of it
and open those in winrar and put the anim folder in the rar files in the res folder of the files and used CWM to apply those.. and all of the transitions seems to work on my galaxy s. i use the "Fly In and Flip Mix (from Fab's Apex)" on my phone right now and it rocks with darkys 5.2 rom, no lags or anything.. rly awesome.
so yeah thought it would be cool for people that do custom themes and roms and such to have som cool transitions

pull framework-res.apk from your phone, open it in winrar, put the anim folder from the rar files u download into the res folder in the framework-res.apk or if its just files in the rar put those in res/anim then push the framework-res.apk back and resrat your phone
Just created one for RSJP5. Need a deodexed rom based on RSJP5.
Fold effect + custom icon

Ok erm.. silly question but how was i supposed to pull the framework-res from /system?
Cus i pulled it using root explorer n i erm.. effed it up n gona have to flash a new rom cus nothin shows up after the splash screen when rebooting.
Nice !! gonna be very usefull
Tried on JPU?
Anyone tried this for DOC XXJPU UltraSlim V3.0.1?
Tried it but no success so far. It boots but gets black and vibrates ever so often. Guess they might be ROM Specific? ( I added a lot of extra stuff so I just want to verify if it might be the animation)
Edit: Still error even without the animation so i probably FUBAR somewhere else.

i copy the framework-res with root explorer and apply the files the just copy it back and restart and it should work.
but how i also did was taking the captivate gingerbread theme wich works on my i9000 an add the animations in the theme framework before i apply it through CWM recovery

i use it with the darkys gingebread jpu rom and it works great for me.
perhaps u did something wrong?
as far as i got it those animations should work with any 2.2 rom for any phone if u make it right.

I moved the framework-res.apk to sd-card so that i could connect phone to compter and and complete the process but once i moved the apk to sd card, i started getting force closes and eventually the screen went black (im not using a custom rom)
Should i have copied it instead of moving?
Im about to flash JPA with odin unless there's a fix?

ofcours u should have copied it since its a file for all the resources in your rom!
u can use adb to put the framework-res back again just do some google-foo
try out "how to adb framework-res" or something. should work.

Hello XDA,
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change the status bar notification icon for a new sms from the standard Samsung closed envelope icon to the stock AOSP ICS square smiley face with the little tail. I have already got the icon and it is the correct size and file type (.png) and name (stat_notify_message.png) and I have tried a few ways of adding it into Mms.apk such as simply using 7Zip and decompiling & recompiling numerous times but the end result is always that the Messaging app is being removed completely and I'm having to restore a nandroid backup to get it back.
I have been looking all over XDA and have used trusty old Google to find solutions to my problem. Both come up with lots of different ways to theme, but none that solve my problem (as far as I can see anyway). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the guide on how to do it/explain to me how to do it successfully?
I am on a stock odexed XWLPG rom which is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If I remember correctly, its in SystemUI.apk

Really? Any idea what the file is called and where it is? I have gone through all of the drawable folders in SystemUI.apk and there is not one in there. The only place I could find it was in Mms.apk and it was called stat_notify_message.png

What I have done in the past is put the mms.apk on your pc. Use 7zip to OPEN ARCHIVE (NOT EXTRACT), then put the NEW .png file with the correct name on your pc. Now without unzipping the mms.apk just use 7zip to find the location of the file you want to replace. Now just hold down on the new .png file and drag it into the corrext location. Then 7zip will ask if you are sure you want to replace it. Hit ok or yes or whatever it says. Now move the mms.apk back onto your phone. Use root explorer and move it to /system. Then long press on it and choose permissions. Change it to rw,r,r. Then long press again and select MOVE. Then navigate to /system/app and paste. Reboot phone. It will work.
For some .apk they are picky like mms.apk dont like being extracted and zipped back up for some reason while others have NO issues when you extract them and rezip and rename then place them in.

Is that "stat_notify_email_generic.png" in the .apk, res, drawable-hdpi, by any chance?
Although, I think RockRatt may be on the ball. He posted while I was writing this.
:silly: me, too slow...

If you copy the drawable-hdpi folder somewhere outside the zip, look at the 'stat_notify_blahblah.png' then you can see what ones you want to change over

Thank you so much RockRatt, you have solved my problem. Words cannot express my relief, thanks & gratitude for your sound advice. I had tried what you said to do previously, but never with the permission changes. Is that something that needs to be done for every apk or just some? Thanks once again, I am so happy! What an easy was to change the icon. It looks great. See screenshots.
So anyone out there in XDA land that is looking for a quick, easy mod (provided you're rooted) then simply follow RockRatt's easy to follow guide and you will never go wrong. And give him a thanks if his guide helped you in any way!!

What's the mod and how is it installed? Does it have to be flashed by CWM? A little more info on the problem would probably help.

You can clear the cache & dalvik-cache either before or after flashing the battery mod. I'd probably try it before and see how you go.
You know how to clear the dalvik-cache, yes??
I think the problem with the VK battery files is they are from a pre jkay release. Now the Rom is using jkay framework I don't think you can flash them. It could be possible to swap the icons like the OP did though using 7zip?

I installed the stock ICS gallery as I much prefer it over the 3D gallery that comes with the Galaxy S2 and I stupidly deleted the 3D Gallery from my system apps.
I would normally make a back up but I wasn't thinking I would ever need this again, I was wrong. I can no longer have picture frames on my homescreens or set my lock screen wallpaper! I had no idea that all this would be effected.
If someone could help me out with reinstalling it I would be very much grateful. Im running Stock XWLP7
I have a CWM back up but don't want to back up the whole system folder as I have modded other things since such as Framework files.
Can I find the Gallery3D.APK and Gallery3D.odex file and simply copy and paste them back to my system/app folder and change permissions?
Any help would would be much appreciated
Thank you
As long as the pics gallery and the 3d gallery are named differently and u set the permissions correctly you should be able to. I have had both on one from before.

You can extract the apk from the system zip inside the cwm backup file using root explorer...
Thank you for your help guys.
I managed to extract the apk and odex file from Cwm back up, set permissions and it worked
Lesson learnt never delete things if it might interfere with others.
Who'd of thought that removing the gallery would mean I couldn't set lock screen wallpaper!

Another method
-Take the apk from a rom with that gallery included (e.g. villainrom) and install it asyou normally would
-open titanium backup and long tap on the gallery, then select "convert to system app"

Hey guys,
I was hoping to be able to install the JB clock app/widget on an ICS ROM, but I haven’t been able to locate the right thing to download/install. Is what I want even possible, and if so, can anyone provide a link?
TIA
Heres the DeskClock apk i just pulled from my rom: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p8waf6k78vmnflv/DeskClock.apk
Try putting it into system/app and changing the permissions to rw-r-r using a file explorer with root access. Then reboot and see if it appears in your app drawer.

I've mounted the system/app from R/O to R/W before copying. Do I have to do more than this? I've edited a lot of apps in my phone and they worked with just mount R/W+copying directly

Use cm10-10.2 and flash s4 accuweather & launcher by linqz girls chinese(or smth like that, i forgot the order of the name)
