[Q/Help]Mix 2 SystemUI.apk - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I almost never ask for help when I can learn myself.
But this time, I really can't found the way to achieve my goal.
I use Gingerbread on my Arc S cause I found ICS too slow for now.
Gingerbread is perfect but I miss two things :
1 - ICS theme
2 - Power widgets
I can found these two things but can't mix theme. I've tried to decompile the Widget SystemUI.apk and put all the code from this to the ThemeSystemUI.apk but I have errors and again, I've tried some methods and tricks but no way...
So if an expert of theming want to help me to mix the content of SystemUI.apk from WidgetsSystemUI into the SystemUI.apk from ThemeSystemUI it'll be awesome.
Like that, we can have a perfect ICS theme for Gingerbread with Power Widgets.
Thanks a million in advance.
Cheers.

Wanted, Clean ginger theme, 5 lock screen, CRT off animation

hi guys, im trying to find (or ask someone to make) a zip file that has only stock battery with percentage (gingerbread green, no colour changes) crt off animation and 5 lock screens for jvb
im happy with the way gingerbread looks from stock, not a fan of themes but would like to be able to just flash one file to get these 3 things.
so far ive found a few themes that come close but changes things i dont like
file must be for cwm3 and deoxed
can someone make that for me, i have no idea how to do this myself
cheers
Have you tried asking this guy?

Yep, he's done a great job with it, way prefer it to stock.
You probably don't need these but I'll put 'em in anyway just in case
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037584
use the ftp site link for the kernel and Voodoo Control Plus https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.controlappdonate&feature=search_result for ext4, that's what I did and I'm loving Gingerbread.
Hit the thanks button of the guys that made these possible too
thanks for all the help
i managed to find a clean rom i like, i added crt off animation myself
now im after 5 lock screen on its own
and extended power menu in colour
im not interested in battery percentage anymore, when ppl theme it the green is different to the standard gingerbread theme and it annoys me
for some reason im not a fan of aosp gingerbread lock but prefer aosp froyo instead, is it possible to have that version?

To be honest, I don't know, guess it depends on the rom, you could ask JKay if he'll make the extended power menu as a zip for you, was thinking of doing that myself, but I asked him to do a mod of one of his current themes this morning and when I got home this evening he had it done! He might try the froyo aosp lockscreen, but if he doesn't, somewhere in that thread is a link to the gingerbread lockscreen, you could always ask the creator of that one if he'd make you a froyo one. As far as I know it just means replacing a couple of .png's
Where did you find the crt off? If it's a flashable zip I wouldn't mind grabbing it as I'll be helping a couple of mate's to customise their look in the future. If you still have the link I'd be grateful.

[REQ] Stock Theme with 8 Lockscreen Mod

8/9/11 - 10 PM: Since the mod itself is very deep in the framework-res code, the request has been changed to a stock theme with ONLY the 8 Lockscreen mod. At least this way, anyone who feels bold enough to overlay their own themes onto this modded base may do so.
I greatly appreciate maddoggin's on the 8 Lockscreen mod, but I just don't want to change the theme settings that I have now (plus piling themes on top of one another gave me phone problems). All I want is the mod itself, no status bars, no themes, no icon changes, just the mod.
That is, unless someone can tell me what do modify from maddoggin's initial theme to leave just the lockscreen mod.

Would do it myself but just not sure enough on what I'm doing.

the mod is baked into framework-res... which would make it impossible to get the mod without changing half of your theme (battery icons, notifications, window frames anything that resides in framework-res) in other words you would need to do it individually for each theme.

Exactly... But if anyone would take the time (not me) it may be possible to do with metamorph.... Maybe not 100% sure tho.

thats true.. if anybody wants to try taking a gingerbread metamorph for framework-res and adding the xmls and required images to it. i got it to work once for froyo with window animations... i dont run ginger so i wont be able to mess around with this one.

Does that mean that it's like the CRT mod or is the appropriate code even deeper than that? Should I just aim my request directly at maddoggin, then?
In that case how about a request for a stock theme with the lock mod, crt and overscroll.

While that solution does work for me, it may not work for someone else who desires a non-stock theme (again, layering multiple themes can cause problems which means a data wipe is needed). Ideally, maddoggin could release the code for modding framework-res so all the themers can successfully integrate it, but if worst comes to worst (and it's programming, so it often does), then I'll change the request to a modded stock theme.

He has man. Not every theme has incorporated it. The easy way to do it is to swap in your preferred images.
Cd's or tapes?
I haven't seen a code release thread anywhere for it. I did a search for it, but all I have seen is various theme threads giving credit.
So if we were to try and "snatch and replace" just the 8 ls mods...inside fr res...what would these 8..be called in the folder becaue i am dying to try...gettin bored with 6 lol?? I been puttin all kinds of themes together to get where i am now..why stop? Thanks in advance..

i dont know why people think there is "code" or "source" to be released! i understand you may want to do this your self and use how ever you want to use i truly understand that! thats how it all started for me i saw other samsung phones with this mod and told my self why doesnt the epic have it andd i requested and requested untill i just said "**** IT" imma do it myself! well you want to know how i did it! theres no damn "source" or speciail magic trick or even a guide on how to do it! i grabbed the mod from 3 different phones dude! the fascinate, galaxy 19000 and the captivate. and i searched the forums and figured out how to make it all work on our phone! thats how it was done! no source no tricks! of course i got help from the guys i dl the mods from but thats it! so im sorry the lock mod isnt exactly to your liking dude and anyone else for that matter. but if you want something done try searching around the forums and figure out how to do it yourself otherwise shut the **** up, quit whinning and be happy that have 8 damn locks to choose from at all!
I can understand your frustation Maddoggin. I don't think he intended to upset you. I think he simply would like someone to teach him what mods were necessary to implement this into a stock theme template. As you described it is a lengthy and arduos task to pull from many sources. I think he simply hopes you will share you modifications to the framework-res that implement this so that he can either create a stock theme template or someone else can. Guys please be sure to not hound our devs. We have seen enough move on to other phones. Maddoggin has every right to say no and someone can do what he did or we can simply try to persuade him to help you learn more.

I am always open to help someone out that's has never been a problem I help those who ask for help! But I won't walk you through the whole process! You WILL learn or you WILL give up! All you have to do is open up my files! You want to know the source is! The source is the s5tock files! That's the damn source! You compare my files with the stock ones and get the difference! That's the mod! What some people are asking for is for me to give them only the files needed for the mod! That's ****ing ridiculouse! That would take me more time to do than it did to make it work on our phone! There are so many files modded it would be almost impossible and in anycase this mod isn't mine to give away it belongs to the man who created it and he will be of less help than me trust me!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
When I update my files to the new leak (when a deodexed rom is posted) I will make a stock version of the mod nothing else no battery % nothing just plain stock version! That's the best I can do! Sorry for getting frustrated! But I put in allot of time making this mod work on each release and I don't get paid for it **** my wife is mad at me cause I spend more time on this mod than I do with her! Lmao! So yeah it gets frustrating when you hear someone isn't happy with your work! Sorry!

Maddoggins right... I respect this guy. He's to the point and does what he wants but he's nice if you need any help... the only reason he's pissed is because people have asked about this thousands of times in his thread and if you want it then make it.

[THEME REQUEST] Honey HD port?

Hi guys,
First post on the SGS2 forum after coming over from the Desire HD section. Got my SGS2 as an upgrade and am pretty impressed so far. Down to business...
I used to use this theme on my DHD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028813
Was wondering if any of the geniuses here could port it over so I can use it on my Galaxy S2?? It's an amazing theme and I'm sure would look great on the SGS2's samoled. Cheers in advance!
Good theme, it would be nice to see it on our SGS2
It would indeed, hoping someone can port it for us all. Have tried another of the Honeycomb styled themes in these forums but found them too overpowering on the blue colour for my liking.
Did you try to just install it? Seems like it has same naming for the graphics as SGS2 themes.
Try to make a back up first though.

I'll do a Nandroid and give it a try. Wouldn't think it'd work though due to it being based on HTC framework and SystemUI, can see this leading to a bootloop.
Yeah I suppose it will. You can port it yourself though, just download stock samsung theme, and this honeycomp and replace all images with same naming on framework-res and systemui. I suppose that would work.
That may be a better option. I'll give that a try later on and see what happens, cheers.
Ok, swapping the PNG's was a no-go - CWM kept telling me there was an error in the zip and refused to flash it :/
Anyone wanna have a go at porting it for me?

this theme is like the @sam´s rom? u can do your own theme based on honecomb doing it with UOT KITCHEN, if u need to deodex first make it with dsixdas kitchen,,, actually its easy to do no command lines, no scripts... only mouse clicks! lol..
if u need some honeycomb icons use....mmm photoshop or similar,,,

mod only for battery icons ICS 4.0.4

Hi, i searched everywhere for many days, and could not find a mod only and only for battery to ICS 4.0.4, now on firmware 587. Someone has just have battery honeycomb style ready to flash? UOT kitchen does not work, not TickleMyAndroid. I do not know where else to look. Sorry the bad english. Thanks to all.
This is the only one that will work at the minute with the honeycomb battery mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845057
I know it's not really what your looking for, but it will work with .587 and quick panel settings. (It's the only one I could find )
A lot of the devs that made just battery mods, seemed to have moved on.....
Edit: you could try to modify the apk yourself and replacing the images. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this.....

[ROM] Stock Deodexed FI27 Customized slightly...

Ok so this is my entrance into trying to develop for android and giving back to the community. :victory:
Since this is my first rom, I left it mostly stock, with a few add ons.
Please forgive any errors, I'm a NOOB! LOL
Included are some of my favorite apps, and a few other things I forgot what they were lol.
Included apps are Titanium Backup, CPU Sleep, Notification Toggles (Adds custom buttons to status bar, negating the need for extended toggles), Root Uninstaller, Root Explorer, Cachemate cache cleaner, A few different Launchers, DX Battery Saver, Drippler ( Keep up to date on tons of stuff E4GT related), TweetLanes (my personal favorite Twitter alternative) and a Sense style clock
I would like to thank everyone that has helped me along the way. :highfive:
Timmetal6669 - Thanks bro, without your guidance, I'd be bricked, no doubt.
Sniper - Your suggestions and help with some of my scripts were a life saver
Kobridge - For your init.d tweaks and scripts
Manufan - For allowing me to pull some apps and ideas from your roms
Rujelus - For your recovery kernel (sorry that you went uncredited for so long, I didn't realize I had done that)
Venum - For bringing that to my attention so that I don't look like a complete **** lol
Agat - For your recovery kernel
Rwilco, crawj, & sextape - for the resources and base rom
IMPORTANT! : REQUIRES A CLEAN INSTALL AND REBOOT AFTER FIRST LOAD! No idea why, but nothing wanted to work on initial boot.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/102533325/Stryke's_FI27_Customized_Stock.zip
Initial Release: FI27 Base, The Kuban Recovery, select included apps
Second Release: Changed to Agats recovery kernel for init.d support, and added kobridges tweaks

FI 27 doesn't seem to like being themed. I think I'm gonna decompile it and try tho figure out what they added to it to make it force close when themed No doubt an xml in colors or something. But I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.
Highly appreciated Tim. I've been researching religiously the last 4 days and have drawn a blank. I'm still very new to this so I figured it was something I'm doing wrong, but I've yet to find any status bar tutorials on tw-based roms so I wasn't sure if it made a difference.

Ok i suggest if you want to play around with ROM building or theming and modding to pick up the team rejectz quick fix. Also make sure you google jdk and java and have both of those up to date to decompile and compile correctly. Also for theming i suggest having adobe fireworks and Photoshop. You can also use gimp . Parts of the status bar are in framework xmls, but most of what you theme is in system ui. The whole tw drop screen (notification menu) is in system ui. Use 7 zip or just decompile and recompile, which ever is easiest for you. I suggest playing with both as they both are handy. Also you might wanna google .9 compiler. And sdk tools for .9pngs. There is plenty in the Android forums on how to decompile and recompile along with theming. Of course as you can see we at team rejects encourage learning how to do this yourself and are willing to help if we can. My email is [email protected] if any one needs help, hit me up on gtalk.

Only thing I don't have is the quick fix I'll check it out. I've got everything set up correct though, I can decompile and compile everything fine except systemui, it fails everytime decompiling. I'm using photoshop cs5 and paint.net to adjust the png's, and draw9patch for .9 files and it works great but I get stuck at systemui. I'm gonna check my log and see what it's giving me the trouble. I appreciate everything man, I know it's hard when people like me have questions, but I've been trying to dev for some time and have been running around in circles.
