[Guide][DDKQ8] Remove "Swipe screen to unlock" | Center lockscreen Clock | more...
No guide can explain every bit of information a beginner needs to know to achieve the wanted results. You need to make an effort and have patience to learn what you need.
This guide assumes that you have some basic knowledge like managing files on your phone, setting permissions, using command prompt on your computer. I will not explain what is ADB or Root Explorer or how to use them. google can help with that.
The steps described here are the steps i did on my computer (windows) and my rom (rooted, deodexed). i cannot promise to offer support, i'm a semi-noob myself.
standard disclaimer applies: Do it at your own risk & Backup your system before trying any of this.
What you will need:
• apk file compiler/decompiler: i will use apktool
• archive manager: winrar, 7zip
• Text editor : Notepad++ is recommended
• A way to manage files on the phone: ADB, Android Commander, Root Explorer
• an image editor (for some parts): Photoshop, Gimp, Paint.NET...
Part I. Decompiling
1. First you need to download and install apktool which allows you to decompile apk files and rebuild them. some people prefer APK Manager but i find apktool simpler to use.
Download these two files and export them to your Windows directory.
apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2
apktool1.4.3.tar.bz2
2. Pull the file framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ on your phone and place it on your computer. for exemple under C:\lockscreen\
3. Now open a command prompt window and change the current directory to C:\lockscreen\ by entering the command
Code:
cd c:\lockscreen
Then decompile your apk file by entering the following command
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
This will create a new folder named framework-res within it are the decompiled contents of framework-res.apk
Part II. Editing files
Remove "Swipe screen to unlock"
1. Open \framework-res\res\values\strings.xml
2. Find lockscreen_unlock_guide_text
3. In that line, delete Swipe screen to unlock
Note: \res\values\strings.xml is for English language. if you're using a differnet language on your phone then you have to edit the corresponding strings.xml file in the proper values directory. for exemple if you're using French then you'll have to edit the strings.xml file under values-fr
Change the date format on the lock screen
1. Open \framework-res\res\values\strings.xml
2. Find mid_month_day_mid_wday_no_year
3. Replace E. d MMM. with the format you want.
Reference:
d numeric Day of the Month (1)
dd numeric Day of the Month (01)
EEE short Day of the week (Mon)
EEEE long Day of the week (Monday)
M numeric Month (1)
MM numeric Month (01)
MMM short Month (Jan)
MMMM long Month (January)
yy short year (09)
yyyy long year (2009)
exemple: yyyy MMMM d, EEEE to display 2012 March 12, Monday
Center the lockscreen clock and date
Explaining this mod step by step would take too long. All the editing is done in a single file \res\layout\zzz_keyguard_screen_clockwidget.xml
I uploaded the edited file (not compiled). All you have to do is replace you original file under framework-res\res\layout\ with this one before you compile. Advanced users can take a look at it, compare it with the original and edit it if they want/can.
I also replaced the charging icon that appears on the lockscreen. The png file is inluded with the xml file. To apply it, after you're done with Part III of this guide, open your modded apk file with winrar/7zip, browse to \res\drawable-mdpi\ then drag the png and drop it in the apk.
Part III. Creating the modded file
After we're done editing the xml files, we will recompile them and update the original apk with the modded ones.
1. Go back to that command prompt window and enter the following command to recompile the files
Code:
apktool b framework-res
(no .apk at the end)
when it's done, you will find a new folder under framework-res named build where the compiled files are placed.
2. Go to framework-res\build\apk\ copy the resources.arsc file
3. Open your original framework-res.apk file with an archive manager like winrar or 7zip (do not extratct, open with) and paste resources.arsc inside it.
4. If you used the edited zzz_keyguard_screen_clockwidget.xml file, then you have also to copy the compiled version from \buid\apk\layout\ and paste it under the same path inside your apk file.
Now your framework-res.apk is modded and ready to be installed.
5. Place the apk in your phone under /system/framework/ and set its permissions to rw-r--r--
Note: Some may prefer to copy the file to /system/ first, set the permissions and then move it to /system/framework
6. Reboot
Changing the font of the clock:
For some reason, this clock is not actual text, it does not use a font. Instead, the numbers are png files placed under /res/drawable-mdpi/
So to change the font, you will have to make new png files for each number, plus one for the column )
I uploaded the ones i made. you can take a look at them to note the dimensions and names of the files. you have to use those same names. also notice that there are two different files for the number one.
After you're done modding your framework-res.apk and just before you send it your phone, open it with winrar and browse to /res/drawable-mdpi/ then drag the png files you made and drop them inside the apk.

how do you mean acceptable?
i can only make a flashable zip for specific roms and themes. maybe i will see what roms out there are based on DDKQ8 and make a couple of zips.
i usually prefer making guides than making falashable zips so anyone can apply the mod on it's own specific system.

the lockscreen it hard coded un the framework, maybe also some other files. i personally cnt do it. if you want to try to port it i can provide you with any files you need from stock DDKQ8

not really. not all frameworks are compatible with all roms. it probably will not work. it needs to be ported. but you can try of you want. just make a backup of your system before.

in that line, change E. d MMM. into yyyy. MMMM d., EEEEE
re-build and replace resources.arsc in original apk
posibilities
is it possible to move the framework thing to another stock rom using maybe titanium back up?

not sure what "thing" you mean. but no. Titanium Backup backs up apps and settings. the lockscreen is neither an app nor a setting.

Hello dear Forum...
First off I have to apologize if I missed something in a sticky,
since I'm new to the forum and the hole rooting/customizing on my GT I-9000.
I've successfully rooted my phone and I'm running Darky_v10_RC5_Final now.
Could anyone provide a link or an explanation how to:
# set own icons for apps
# set lockscreen (as its said there are 4 different ones on this ROM; plus changing the lockscreen image in the settings is not quite working for me)
# setting another theme - if not too complicated.
many thanks in advance - seems to be a truly nice community!

To change the icon in an apk, you need to get the apk, open it with winrar and go to drawable-hdpi
There are pngs there. Normally, the icon one is called icon.png, but on some apps, it has a different name, for example ic_launcher_phone.png
You edit it and substitute it.
Then you push the apk back into your phone into /system/app in case it's a system app or you just copy the apk to your sdcard and install it.
Lockscreen background may not work with some specific lockscreens.
For a theme, to make one you'd need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi (opening it with winrar) and then push it back. That's for changing icons and part of the appearance, but to change text colours and other things you'd need to decompile the apk and edit some xml's.
To apply a theme you just need the zip of the theme, copy it into your sdcard and install it through cwm.

thank you for the answer!
Is there no way to change the icons of stock applications?
And how may I change the lockscreen?
could you please give me a link, or something how to apply themes via cwm - to be honest I don't even know what cwm is.
sorry for all the questions - many thanks in advance!

Sorry, had lost track of this thread.
You can change the icon of stock applications in same way, but you must be rooted since they are located in system/app
For the lockscreen, to theme the glass lockscreen, you need to edit the pngs in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi named zzz_unlock_arrow_0000.png up to zzz_unlock_arrow_0009.png and the zzz_unlock_blackbg.9.png and zzz_blackbg_dual.9.png
To theme puzzle lockscreen:
edit zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock and zzz_unlock_puzzle_noti_icon_unlock_fit
For android lockscreen (in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-land-hdpi):
ic_jog_dial_unlock
ic_jog_dial_sound on
ic_jog_dial_sound off
For epic unlock on framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
mod zz_unlock_lockbg_press
In case you want to get a stock framework and get aosp lockscreen:
To get aosp lockscreen you'd need to decompile classes.dex in android.policy.jar and edit a few files.
For that, i use ubuntu.
You open android.policy.jar and extract classes.dex
Then get baksmali and smali and place them in the same location as classes.dex
Open up a terminal and type cd and the location
Example:
cd /home/coldflid/Desktop
Then type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex
(if you've got another version of bajsmali change the 1.2.5 for the version you have).
You can type java -jar baksmali-1.2.5.jar classes.dex -o *
Where * is the name of the folder where you want classes.dex to be decompiled
Then you'd need to mod LockPatternKeyGuardView.smali or replace it with a modded one.
Then type in terminal
Then type java -jar smali-1.2.5.jar *
Where * is the name of the folder where classes.dex was decompiled
out.dex should be generated, rename it to classes.dex and copy it to android.policy.jar (replace the old one).
Then use root explorer to copy it to system/framework

I'm currently using LockBot Pro to change the locksreen and its background, works fine for me.
I'll try to change the stock app icons as soon as I have time. Thanks!

if you have apkmanager, u will need to install the proper frameworks for sense with apktool (i use linux apktool exclusively at home...when forced to use windows i use apkmanager but put apktool if my sdk/tools folder for installation)
in the scenario where u have an apktool.jar in ur sdk/tools folder (doesnt matter where apkmanager is)
pull framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from the rom.zip and put them in ur tools folder
cd ur tools folder
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
(this will install the proper frameworks for decompile/recompile)
now pull systemui.apk and rosie.apk from the rom.zip
decompile both
go into projects folder for apkmanager
*to edit the pulldown from VivoW
-go into framework-res.apk folder in projects
-res folder -> values folder > strings.xml
change the "VivoW" in this at the bottom:
Code:
<string name="custom_status_banner">VivoW</string>
to whatever u want less than 16 characters (iirc)
*to edit TeamSbrissenMod from Rosie app drawer header
-go into rosie.apk folder in projects
-res folder _>values folder -> strings.xml
change the "TeamSbrissenMod" near the bottom in this:
Code:
<string name="all_apps_tab_all_apps">TeamSbrissenmod</string>
to whatever u want
*edit: if using sense 3 patch, must do the above edit to that rosie as well (systemUI isnt changed so theres no additional one to edit for VivoW)
any sense 2.1 rom rosie can be edited like that, the sys ui edit doesnt exist in other roms though, i added it to the xml and methods in smali
wow......just had a brain meltdown....i dont know how you guys do it...writing code,roms and such...i read thru your directions on how to change those 2 files..and i'm stunned at how much work goes into it...i give you alot of credit man..i really do....ok then...i'm a noob with apk tools...i'll tinker with it...but if your still up to it i really could use the zip update after the weekend,,when you have time....i'm running your gingerbangsense 2.01 with the sense 3 patch also with the clock removed on pulldown and the transparent zip.just want to say thanks in advance for this and again..THANKS for all your great roms !!!...damn..after reading those directions again...i have a hangover type headache...!!

It looks like all the mods I've seen are speific to certain ROMs. It's not just the version numbers (4.0.1, 4.0.2, etc.), but different ROMs built from different sources seem not to be compatible with each other as far as the mods go.
I'd like to have permanent Menu buttons and a search button in the bottom nav bar, but because of all the incompatibilities, I'm having a hard time finding the correct modded versions (I'm using P3Drod's 4.0.3 Tranquilice right now). So, I would like to be able to make my own softkey mod for whichever ROM I happen to be running. It looks like it's controlled by the SystemUI.apk file in /system/apps, and I tried decompiling it using APK Tool, making some changes to the XML files inside, and then recompiling it. But when I push it back ot the phone and reboot, the nav bar disappears altogether (along with the wallpaper), so I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong.
So, is there guide anywhere for modding SystemUI.apk to change the softkeys?
there's a few threads around here about that, use search.

Just so you don't have to search here's a guide.
Grab the SystemUI.apk from the ROM you are currently on. Using WinRAR open the SystemUI.apk and drag the "res" folder out of it (Put it on the Desktop or something). Go into the res folder, then go into Drawable-XHDPI and the 2 things you need to modding the softbuttons are the following images:
"ic_sysbar_highlight.png"
"ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png".
Edit them 2 to what color you want, put the res folder back into the systemUI.apk and flash it.
Done.
Actually that doesn't help me -- I don't want to change the graphics, I want to change the behavior actual softkeys. I want to add a search key, and make the settins keys permantnely displayed. Tere are alreday a few mods like that available, but no for all the ROMs, so I'd like to be able to do one myself.
i'm curious of this too, because theres nothing made for what i specifically want my keys to be.
i've been desperately asking for a version with menu on both sides that only shows up when needed and then back, home, recent, search. and i've gotten ignored everywhere i've requested it.
and just as you, i can't find any guide to do it myself.
+3, there are no guides available I'd like to add the search as I am on tranq v5. I have figured out other systemui mods but I cannot takle this one

Sry to interupt. So if i want to change the graphics of the ROM I am currently on, I just need to open the zip file of my ROM in winrar, extract the systemui.apk and open that in winrar, too. Then I can replace the images in the res-> drawable HDPI folder by simply dragging my icons in there using winrar. Then just close Winrar and put the whole thing on my device ( the whole rom or just the systemui.apk? )
After that all I have to do is flash it using cwm? apply update from sd card or what?
Sry that i ask for detailed steps, but i am new to costumizing android -.-

This is for changing the background highlight.
There are also files in the drawable xhdpi that corresponding to the actual symbols. Replace these and flash the rom
-So..find prefered symbols(.png files called ic_sysbar_back) there will be nine of them
-grab a rom you want to flash( can be the same rom you are on.)
-use winrar or 7zip to get into the rom and go to systemui.apk/re/drwablexhdpi
-drag and drop new symbols file in( it will replace)...if you dont believe me you can organize the file by date an there will now be 9 folders with current date.
close it up and flash the rom via your favorite way.
this is how i did it. and there is at one guide out there...I used it.
have fun

Why has xda gotten so hostile? Because you aren't newbs anymore? I guarantee at one point you were. Just love when people use their knowledge just to look down at people...

P3Droid said that he'll include the modded keys in Tranq v6. But I'd still like to know how I can do it myself.
as would i. i've searched and there is no guide anywhere in this forum about how to modify the soft keys.
only guides are for skinning. But if you want to make your own setup your screwed or have to figure it out on your own from scratch.

I as well would love to be able to add extra buttons to the soft key bar. I truly think this is where the Galaxy Nexus will shine.
Personally, I think that Back -- Home -- Search is the best implementation. Then long press on home for the MultiTasking/Recent menu, and long press on search for voice actions. But like the OP, I haven't found this implementation for AX10M ROM (Only AOKP) so I'm just sitting, waiting, wishing for a dev to pick it up. It doesn't seem too hard, so I don't think I'll be waiting long.. Just wish I could help in some way...

You'll have to place your original apk back. UOT isn't currently compatible with ICS. It will build a zip for you, but is based on gingerbread

Is it even possible to remove default wallpaper? Sorry for the stupid question.
If what you mean is to change the default wallpaper, I think you could modify the framework-res.apk file. There's a resource file called default_wallpaper.png (or close to that, I forget ) change it with an image you want, I believe there's a tutorial about that in XDA
If you want to change your current wallpaper, you could do a long press at your homescreen and select wallpaper
Hope this helps,

This is how I did it :
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. Install "root explorer" or such application (I assume you know how to use it, if not, google it, it's not hard,really)
3. Copy the original framework-res.apk (in /system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your SD card, copy it to your PC.
4. Use 7-zip to open the framework-res.apk from your phone
5. Move to "\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\" (see screenshot)
6. Look for "default_wallpaper.jpg" (see screenshot again)
7. Now, you could just change that file with another file, choose the wallpaper of your choice, and resize it to match the resolution of the "default_wallpaper.jpg" (if it's 400x800, your new file SHOULD have the same resolution, to prevent... I don't know, just to be on the safe side )
8. Rename your new file to Default_wallpaper.jpg, and drag it to the 7-zip window with the original default_wallpaper.jpg, overwrite it
9. Push the new framework-res.apk to your phone (use root explorer or adb, I used the root explorer)
10. Reboot phone
NOTE!!
I haven't tried to change the default wallpaper, but I do change many parts of the framework-res.apk, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Step 4 is not that clear Reidzeibel, you mean open it on my phone or PC?
Oh sorry, I mean, open the file on your PC (it's the one that you modify, and later push it to overwrite the original framework-res.apk)
And before doing anything to your handheld, prepare a nandroid backup just in case. I did a nandroid backup everytime I modify the Android system files.

Dude :
-I extracted framework-res.apk using 7zip on my PC.
-I replaced the default wallpaper with my desired wallpaper.
-Now, i do not know how to compressed it back to .apk file.
No, don't extract it, just open it in 7-zip and leave it opened, don't extract, don't do anything, just find the image file you want to change, resize it to match the resolution of "default_wallpaper.jpg".
I've attached two more screenshots to show you, hope it helps
Regards,
Reidzeibel
P.S:
-In the "drag" screenshot, I replaced three files, those with entries on the "created" and "accessed" field are the ones I replaced, the files I edit are shown in the explorer window behind the 7-zip window

Uh, I had no reboot while doing the push, I rebooted manually after having several force close windows popped up (in my case), but then after reboot, it works normally. Is the default wallpaper changed?
No, Lockscreen wallpaper have it's own option in the settings->display
And for the transition, no I didn't have time to try it yet. But I do want to learn how to change my phone lockscreen transition into ICS manually (without theme) <--- this, or your question is about the crt-animation when screen turns off (locking phone)?

1. My phone rebooted itself and then there were some FC's with the launcher. I clicked on Force Close and it is back to normal. My default wallpaper changed as i desired as well! Thanks to you Reidzeibel!
2. For lockscreen wallpaper, there's nothing related to modifying the framework, is it?
3. Due to lockscreen transition, i meant that by changing the transition into ICS manually because i LOVE the old-tv-like transition!

1. Mine was : Force close ALL THE WAY =___=, then the notification bar screwed up, all applications icon turned to default, the phone became laggy, then I rebooted manually. There's the thanks button, click it, LOL
2. As far as I know, All theme-related files are :
-Framework-res.apk
-SystemUI.apk
-Settings.apk
These three files have some connection to the theme, I themed my notification bar as in the first post by modifying Framework-res and SystemUI. The ICS theme file in the Theme Thread has the three files included inside it. Thus to edit the lockscreen transition, I believe you have to edit the three files, in a more complicated way (might have to deodex, decompile, recompile, smali-ing, and so on)
3. Actually you could just apply the ICS theme, and then modify the framework-res.apk to enable the CRT-animation, it is easier than porting the ICS theme to your own framework-res.apk

No worries about the excessive "?"
Actually I have a thread in another forum that explains about the CRT-animations and modifying SystemUI & Framework-res.apk, read it somewhere in XDA.

Hi all, I'm newbie, and I want to share you guys the guide to make our status bar look like the Galaxy S4 (Specialy it has s4 white icon) .
-First you need to download the attachment, then extracted it
-Now you have to decompile ( or change extension to .zip and extracted it i guess) the systemUI.apk
-Next, find the drawable-hdpi folder in your systemUI.apk and replace it which the one you extracted in the attachment
-Recompile ( or compress by zip and change to .apk )
-Copy systemUI.apk mod to system/app ( remember to BACKUP your original apk)
-Use Xposed Tweakbox to make status bar full transparent and the clock to white, reboot and enjoyed

Read first Post on Page 2
The reply up there I ask you becos' it's wrong, You can do this: Multi Select all the file > compress by zip > change to .apk. That done You need to decompile/recompile when customize the code, but now no need
Never unpack apks! This way you will lose signature.
Just take your apk,open it with WinRAR/7zip without changing the extension,go to res/drawable-hdpi and drag the files there. Then push your SystemUI again to your phone and it should work
If in the drawable-hdpi package there are also .9 pngs decompiling the apk may be necessary
If no one manages to get it working I will make a flashable zip
I think decompile is also necessary if xml Files are changed

mission accomplished for me
i was looking for this mod and i followed instructions on first post, but it doesn't work, because the new compiled systemUI.apk is not recognized by the phone (you can notice it when you see a different icon instead the red one).
The key is DO NOT ESTRACT any file, but only open systemUI.apk with 7zip, go to drawable-hdpi folder and drag files into it, images will be overwritten (i used only 2 files for this test, notification header and panel), then you can close 7zip.
Dariolob suggest is correct, do not extract files from systemUI.
For xposed tweak i followed instructions from youtube, search for "Make Galaxy Note look like the Galaxy S4"
sorry i cant post outside links
