Modify Image - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Can i modify the background image of a Recovery??

Possibly if you make the recovery yourself, but no recoveries have option for background image.

Look at this: http://www.mytrendingtopics.info/wp...cache/689ed_clockworkmod_recovery_nexus_s.jpg
Here's the screenshot of CWM, with a background image...

Yes, it's the default background image. But there is no option for changing in cwm, the only thing i can imagine you can do to get custom image is to manually insert it somewhere in the .zip, but i don't recommend you doing that!

I was asking for it, to insert it in the zip... why dont you recommend it??

Because i don't know how and you probably don't do either.... just leave it as it is for now......

How to unpack
recovery
-----------Step 1--------------------------
Extract recovery's ramdisk
./split_bootimg.pl recovery.img
~~~ALTERNATE~~~ Please use the method above but if you cannot use the one below
First, Extract the contents of the ramdisk with:
./unpack-bootimg.pl recovery.img
----------Step 2---------------------------
Edit the Ramdisk:
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gzip -dc ../recovery.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
cd ..
------------Step 3-------------------------
Pack-up Ramdisk
./mkbootfs ./ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-new.gz
--------------Step 4--------------------------------------------------------------------
Repack to IMG
./mkbootimg --base 0x13600000 --pagesize 4096 --kernel recovery.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz -o recovery-new.img

repack recovery.img
and u'll see image on there
or, u can use my recovery (px-recovery). but for now its only can customizing color.
actually, latest px-recovery can also change background. but i dont want to share it yet.
it still have seriuos bug with changing backgroud sometime

[Q] Kernel Problem

Hello there,
I am trying to put new kerenel in rom zip(i mean that the rom will include the kernel without flashing it[zip with rom+kernel]).
I tried to take the system/lib folder&files and put it in the zip, and when i flash the rom i get the WiFi error. how do i put new kernel in rom(zip file).
thx and sorry for my bad english :X
Edit:
I extracted the boot.img in linux ubontu but i dont know how to edit the kernel. i tried to extract the gz file but linux says: not in gz format.
what to do?
help me pls
the kernel itself shuld be a zip file
I know that but i want to change the kernel in a ready rom(zip file). I need that it will be ready to install(the rom with the new zip) how do i do this.?
help me plsss
Just take the boot.img and bcm4328.ko from the /system/lib/modules/ folder in the kernel zip and drop them into the Rom in the same folders. Simpuls
dude
thx for posting,
but how to do that?
i have only the rom boot.img and the kernel files&moduls. i dont have new boot.img. how can i create one?
thx!!!!!

Upload you boot.img & kernel files, il pack them for you
you could try dsixda kitchen if you have cygwin or a linux distro
after you do it for me can you teach me pls how do u do this?
Thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(You king!!)
i must know how to that
ty man!
download:
http://rapidshare.com/files/450368403/kernel_boot.rar
Edit:
I have already extracted the boot.img.
I tried to put the zImage in boot.img-ramdisk forder and pack it again- but the device stuck at splash screen. i tried to gunzip the kernel gz but linux says that the file not in gz format.
how do i change the kernel? pls guide me
ty
Only you have to move files included in this rar I made 4 u to rom zip you like to use the new kernel (only for sense&HD roms)
Edit: But be careful with this CFS's .28 kernels because sometimes doesn't boot
First Neo, thank you very much i will try it.
Second, how did you do it? i must know. i unpacked the boot.img. then what?
And which kernel is better CFS or BFS?
Thank you!
Unpacked the rom boot.img, renamed zImage to boot.img-kernel and repack boot.img.
All done with Kitchen of dsixda
A second option is; install kernel zip, do a nandroid, catch boot.img from sdcard nandroid (it will have a strong size), go to kitchen, unpack and repack to get the real size (because the size of boot.img extracted with nandroid is bad for people who have bad sectors in boot)
I like more CFS, is depending of tastes, but in .28 CFS doesn't work as good it should. Try all and your taste will decide.
Neo, thank you very very much!!
You and Lee helped me a lot! Thank you!!!

How to create flasher to replace fonts?

Is there a simple way to create a flashable zip that will run these commands :
remount
cp /mnt/sdcard/fonts/HelveticaNeueCondensed/DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/
cp /mnt/sdcard/fonts/HelveticaNeueCondensed/DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/
Not sure about the remount ... is that enough to overwrite a ssystem file?
Thanks!

Not sure if this is what you mean but I would open up any of the font zip in this thread and change the update-script to suit your needs...

Good idea!
But what does the update-binary do?
[ Evo / SalvageMod ]
Great question, unfortunately not 100% sure, I believe it has something to with edify and clockwork...I used RA recovery and have flashed zip w just update scripts and they work just fine. Hopefully someone w more knowledge will chime in and explain.
Also I'm sure we can google it...

Hmmm.... so does the presence of the binary mean that it's Amend? Or edify?
[ Evo / SavagedZen ]
Edify...not sure how to make those scripts yet. Good luck! Find an old zip which doesn't have binary and you should be good to go; as long as you're using a recovery that still does amend.
I always just rename the fonts I want to use and paste them into one of the flashable zips in the 300 fonts thread using Astro.

[TUT] ICS transition animation for SGA

Original thread here: (thank to capez
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342117
Click to expand...

I think this tut is for advance users. But others can try
1. Get your "framework-res.apk" in /system/framework
2. Use apktool to decomplie that file. (I recommend apktool becoz I often use it )
- Command to decomplie: apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
3. Download source file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4u6y6udecy60dei
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. In extracted folder which u get from "framework-res.apk", find "anim" folder in \res
5. Extract source file in step 3, u will get 2 folder:
- anims
- other_files
6. Copy files from both folders in step 5 into "anim" folder in step 4
7. Open "integers.xml" in /res/value and find this line:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then add the following lines after it:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Complie your "framework-res.apk" with command: apktool b framework-res new.apk
9. You will get a file "new.apk" but dont use it. Open extracted folder which u get in step 2, u will find a folder "build" and a file is "resource.arsc" inside
10. Now you need to use 7zip. Right click on that resource file, choose 7zip > add to archive and select original framework-res.apk with type is zip.
11. Open "new.apk" in step 8 and original "framework-res.apk" with 7zip. Drag and drop "anim" and xml folders in "new.apk" to "framework-res.apk"
12. It's finished. U can use the file "framework-res.apk" now and see the transition.
Have fun! If u have question, just ask and I will answer

there is a method
it includes decompiling the framework-res.apk from /system/framework and then there is a xml file in /framework/values/bool.xml
you can open with notepad ++ and edit it..
there is a line animatesomething somthing i dont remember.. (m not teaching you how to m just telling the way , if you interested in doing then lemme know i will pm you the procedure but its way to complicated (for you) and you will have to setup adb tools and all decompiler) so just tell me what rom you using .. if you have sense then tell me i will give you my framework-res.apk you will get it disabled.. if you have cm7 then you gimme your framework-res.apk i will edit it and give you back

ohk .. just backup your rom from cwm and flash the framework.zip i have attached its flashable zip so you can flash it ..
still you can search on google for that.. (i had done that decompiling and changed the thing and was unsucessful for doing the COMPILINg with my tools which i use currently .. ) so you better take my framework-res.apk .. and i dont garrantee it will work .. if it dont work you will have to use the recovery ..
and in case it didnt work i dont want you to wait for other reply of mine. so here it goes incase it doesnt work..
find the tools and all
and you need JDK tools and jre tools.. which version idk but it is version specific and do not use the latest version.. just google which to use (me doing the same if i get to know i will update the post here)
find the tools set it up
decompile the framework-res.apk
and then go to the folder .. in framework folder go to /res/values/bools.xml
open xml file with NOTEPAD++ (google it and downlaod it.. )
you wil find a line
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">flase</bool>
change the false to true and you will be done..
compile it back and flash it
Perfect, i will try it now and i comment the results. Thanks. Im going to do the backup

Download the attached zip, navigate to the system folder so you see the 3 folders I've mentioned, then drag and drop the same 3 folders from the ROM into it (don't change any compression settings) then flash.
