If your BL is locked, use the repair function in PCC.
Before you try some MODs you should always do a backup in CWM.
And if you copy and paste some files into /system folder, you've always to set the right permissions.

to change "swipe to unlock" you have to decompile framework-res.apk, and then in res\values-es\strings.xml replace the lockscreen_unlock_guide_text string "Arrastre el dedo por la pantalla para desbloquear" with whatever you want. I assume you use spanish, even if you're catalan.
then recompile and you're done.
How do I install framework-res.apk? Push it with root explorer?

you can do battery % by yourself once you have the modded framework-res.apk with uot kitchen (google for it).

yes replace the original with root explorer by far the easiest way, then check permissions to be the same as the other files in the same folder (with root explorer as well)
the phone will soft reboot.
ok. thanks u very.
wait for u.
crt off, no "swipe to unlock" (english only), battery %.
change % icons in res/drawable-hdpi according to your tastes if you do not like them. No need to decompile, just replace icons.
let me know if everything is ok, and backup the original framework-res.apk file just in case.
flash with cmw in recovery.
EDIT do not flash this zip it deletes systemui and you'll lose notification bar

My bad. The script from uot kitchen deletes systemui.apk from system/app but I removed it from zip because it was unchanged. So you need to restore it. I am on my way to the workplace so I cannot upload a new zip... Sorry my bad
Email me and I'll send the file or wait half and hour so I can upload the complete zip.
Inviato dal mio GT-I9000 con Tapatalk 2
complete zip.
you can either flash it via cmw (connect phone via usb > turn on phone in recovery > mounts and storage > mount USB storage > [copy file from pc] > go back > install zip from card) or extract the files and push them with adb command line.
sorry again.
Thanks for the tips.
just to resume, so everyone can do it and I do not upload any other fake file
1 - download and install apk tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310151
2 - put framework-res.apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder in windows, then start apktool and decompile it with option 9 in apktool prompt
3 - in "project" folder, mod framework-res:
3.1 - crt-off: in res/values/bools.xml "config_animateScreenLights" from true to false
3.2.1 - "swipe to unlock", for english locales, mod the corresponding string in res/values/strings.xml to whatever you want
3.2.2 - "swipe to unlock", for other locales, mod the corresponding string in res/values-xx/strings.xml to whatever you want, xx=your country code.
4 - back to apktool promtp, recompile (option 11), answer "yes" twice (system file=yes, signature=yes)
5 - when it prompts to delete some files and "press to continue", go to "keep" folder in windows file explorer and delete resources.ascr, then back to apktool prompt press any key to let apktool complete the recompiling.
6 - you end up with a unsignedframework-res.apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding" directory. rename it and replace the original framework-res.apk in your phone, apply same permissions as the other system files with root manager.
7 - battery %, go to uot kichten (google for it) and follow instructions. use your modded framework-res.apk when asked to upload it. at the end you'll be able to download a zip file to be flashed in recovery.

[Q] Phone won't boot all the way. buildprop modified

I wanted to get a 50GB box account. So I downloaded device spoofer 1.4.1 from the web. Stupidly I didn't back of data myself first.
Things I did
1. I let device spoofer backup the build.prop.
2. I selected a Sony device from the list. Had to reboot phone.
3. Phone turned back on, I installed Box from the market and got the 50GB.
4. Had device spoofer restore the build.prop. Had to reboot.
5. Device shows Samsung logo and just sits at a black screen.
I have done some searching and found some info. I can post the links to the several threads I read. I didn't really think those applied to this situation/ I didn't know what the outcome would be. I'm running a stock rom rooted and can get to CWMR and Download mode. I don't think I had usb debugging on because it doesn't show up on adb devices when I have it in recovery. Is it possible to have an update.zip with a good build.prop flashed in recovery to fix this?
What I want to be able to do is just find a way to replace the build.prop with the right info so I can continue to still use my phone as is. I still have text messages I want to back up and backup tasker profiles and data to still backup.
sites I looked at

Grab a copy of the rom you were on and reflash. As long as you didnt make any modifications to system files, you wont lose any data

galaxy note II boot fails
Dear all
i had problem with screen mirroring in my Samsung galaxy Note 2, rooted
replaced some files in the folder system/lib, as it was described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542509
im not sure what happened exactly, maybe deleted 1 file in lib folder by mistake, or the reason was - replacing the original file.
In anyway, after restart, my phone is not opening, is shows SAMSUNG, after loading, and that is all.
Can you please help me restore it somehow and put original files back, i believe only files which start with libWFD* need to be replaces.
Or to copy the whole folder.
How can i do it, without loosing all the data, since i dont have backup.
Please help me.
please help me
where can i find original files from folder System/Lib and how to put them into phone.
I installed Unified_Android_ToolKit, can backup emulated card, installed custom recovery, but not sure if it will backup everything, and then how to restore without system errors.
Please advise me how to restore system files, without loosing any information or how to find and copy original LIB folder into phone.
Thank you.
i managed to put the original file back by downloading firmware and extracting a file from there. Then used custom recovery to copy file from external card into system/lib.
But this didnt help me. Maybe the problem related to changed file/folder permissions.
Can anybody advise me what to do please, im becoming desperate because of this problem.
Thank you.
---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
i luckily had back up of original file , just renamed it, and i renamed it back, fixed permissions from recovery, and phone finally loaded. Means the file from another downloaded firmware didnt work.
Now i see my phone working, all applications there, but it can not connect to wifi, and can not register in network. So it is not working still
What i have done wrong, or what else i can do now to solve this new issue. There is a chance that some permissions are still incorrect.
Just i checked the file itself and changed its permissions as described here
How to:
Extract and replace the file libWFD_ENGINE.so with root explorer
in this folder: /system/lib
and give it the right permitions: rw-r--r-- then restart

How can i restore network connection?
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------
one more update .. it looks like phone is registering in network, and can connect to 3g, but network connection is unstable and keep disappearing...
And it takes longer than usual to connect after reboot , maybe 5 mins to wait.
Wi-fi still not working, even it is impossible to put it on. Screen mirroring now even doesnt find any device (( before it could see my tv
can anyone reply me here, please

Only flashing zip file from recovery did a trick for me. Thanks for solution.

root access worked properly. :good:
now my problem is xposed installer.. how to install?
tried flashing zip, but device won't boot.
Xposed is not not available for our device yet...Wait until it fixed for our device. .. You can delete all xposed files to get rid on bootloop.
Solution
1. Flash recovery kernel from #1 post
2. Get rid on Xposed bootloop HERE manually : no flash required
I am not being harsh
I am just letting know what is happening, sorry if I sound harsh
already uninstalled xposed.
ok, so finally I manage to get it working,
1st performed clean installation of 5.0.2 ftf
then followed steps 1 to 9
then deleted the "prepared" folder under the folder "firmwares", (If existed).
then followed step 10 & 11.
started device & updated everything.
I got proper root access & everything is working fine :good:
Thank you :good:
Only problem is, cant boot in Recovery now, after everything is done successfully.

my girl rooted my phone

HTC desire HD I am not sure of configuration I can not look at anything or even change or delete anything I did not even know she did it till I tried to root it myself I looked at the my app in play store and chainDD is instaled as well as hide my root, along with busy box, cryomods,rom manager anyway i want control back and to see what she is doing. I can not do a factory rest all that does is reset the APN all the apps and setting are the same. Neither does booting in recovery it shows me there is a image but when I try to load it it says there is no file or cant access the file. I tried flashing a new rom today it says need root access or root access denied. as well as hiding the su and binaries the are several other apps that are hidden. I tried that show or find hidden admin apps it scanned for all of about half a second and came back no hidden apps. some of my apps do not even do what they are supposed to. I am a noob all I know is what I have learned because of this. Please help!!!!
If your recovery gives you those messages I think you have a stock recovery.If she has root your phone by unlocking your bootloader she should have use a custom recovery to flash a superuser app.This means she could have restore the stock recovery on purpose or she has use some exploit to get the root.
Shutdown you phone and press (power button)+(vol- button) [Do not let them untill you see your bootloader]
Download ace tools from here.
Make sure you have HTC drivers installed.
After that open a cmd prompt and go to the folder you extracted the ace tools.(If you are using windows7 or later press shift+right click-->open with cmd)
Then give the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And copy-paste the results here (except your IMEI number).

If your bootloader is unlocked with HTC_DEVs way you should see in your bootloader screen an ***Unlocked*** status.
(Your bootloader status could be locked/relocked/unlocked)

As long as she has root your device without you know about that she could spying all your messages,calls and all your personal stuff you have inside.She could also take control of your device and even if you find what she is doing to remotly erase all the important clues from an other device.Be carefull.
