ICS On-Screen Buttons (APK + INSTRUCTIONS)

Hi!
Here I have modified the CM9 Beta 7 framework-res.apk to have on screen buttons.
It looks really nice!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING:
1. COPY DOWNLOADED FILE TO /SYSTEM USING ROOT EXPLORER
2. LONG PRESS framework-res.apk AND CLICK PERMISSIONS
3. SET PERMISSIONS AS:
[x] [x] [ ]
[x] [ ] [ ]
[x] [ ] [ ]
4. MOVE framework-res.apk TO /SYSTEM/FRAMEWORK
5. REBOOT
TO CHANGE BACK JUST FLASH CM9 AGAIN
DON'T WIPE, DATA WILL BE SAFE
MORE MODS COMING, DON'T FORGET TO THANK IF IT WORKED!
If anyone can turn this into a flashable ZIP that would be greatly appreciated!

using root explorer go to /system/framework, mount R/W, replace the original one with the modified one, then change the permission rw-r--r--, mount R/O
then reboot
make sure you know what are you doing and do backup first, if you mess up

very good thank you

Main question remains - what for? You waste a strip of your screen and gain nothing new.

I can't replace framework-res via Root Explorer, becouse when i copy file to /system/framework, my phone automattically restarts into bootloop, and then i have to reflash CM9 again.

Backup in recovery, as the instruction quoted tells. You really need to set permissions right, and need to overwrite it...
You can also rename it to framework2 , move to system/framework , set permissions and rename reboot

Here is what I did. Copy the moded framework to system, give it the right permissions and only then copy it to system/framework replacing the old one. Reboot, Enjoy!

extract rom from phone for Dsixda kitchen

I am trying to Deodex my rom in my phone. I've customized it and i want to extract it to the PC. Then I will deodex it with the DSIDXA Kitchen and then I will put it back.
How can i extract the rom in a form that the kitchen can use.
I tried CWM Touch 6.0.1.2 backup, export and image. The backup as both normal and tar.
None of them were compatible with the kitchen.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance....

Hmm. I thought it could use the nandroid img.
Did you rename the extension to.img?
Otherwise just grab the firmware for the build you want and use it instead.
Stickies in development.

No it should be something like .ext4.cwm
I know in twrp its .ext4.win
Dont know if itll work but u can try.
Why not just use the original fw?

Because I have made several mods to the stock roms on the phone already (beats, using supersu, pimp my room, debloating, etc). And I don't feel like having to redo all of that.
There must be a simple way to do this. This is at least one of the ways that stock rom images are acquired so they can get posted.
In ClockWorkMod i have tried all of the following:
from the backup and restore menu
Create image.zip
Backup to external sdcard dup format
Backup to external sedcard tar format
None of them worked.
For image.zipo I copied the image.zip file and tried it zipped and unzipped and neither way worked.
For backup I copied all of the files from the /mnt/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup/<DateOfTheBackup> directory.
I must be missing something stupid here
Thanks again...

Ok. Lets try something entirely different. Find a tool called Apk Manager, (google wanam apk manager ics).
Now extract all your files into a folder, or if you prefer you can plug into the computer and do adb pull /system.
Install/set up apk manager per instructions you should see where you download it. Then basically follow instructions to deodex the app and framework folders.

thanks for your help. That will deodex my rom but not let me load it into the kitchen.
deodexing is just step one towards my attempts at themeing.
how can i download the rom from my phone so i can use it in the kitchen.
Thanks again...

Well, it not only would deodex, but you can also use apk mgr to decompile, mod/theme, recompile....pretty much do everything you want to do.
But if you are insistent on the kitchen, use tge stock fw to get started, then adb pull your system and plug your files in place of the ones from the stock fw.

Thank you again...

Ill look over dsixdas instructions to see. I know it should be possible to do, I just havent used it that way.
Itll be a bit later before I can look though.
Have you read through his threads here and the one he links to. Hes got pretty detailed instructions.

Thank you for your time and effort. I did wade through some of them but most of them seem to assume that you already have the rom image. I guess I'm just trying to do thinks backwards. I get like that sometimes, just ask my wife
I really appreciate your help. It's really difficult to not be a newb but trying to learn something new when you know half of what you are doing.
Please there's no real rush my phone is up and running fine just trying to tweak it a bit more.
Thanks....

Hi, did you manage to get an image of your current ROM?
The easiest way is to use Root Explorer and the "Zip this folder" option, by long-pressing on the system folder.
Another way is to use ADB:
e.g. #1 (Copy all files and folders to your PC)
Type on your PC:
Code:
mkdir my_system_dir
adb pull /system my_system_dir
e.g. #2 (Pull all files into an image file)
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/system.img
Likewise, I believe you could do the same for the boot.img (mmcblk0p7).

Volume button music control on stock rom

Would anyone have any leads how to get volume button music control going on stock ROM? I miss it alot from my evo with tommytomatoe's classic ROM. Any leads or help are greatly appreciated.
I know its in the framework, and by poking around I found that its a smali edit that needs to happen, but after that I'm clueless.

i know im replying to myself, but i found a solution for this (for which i take no credit for, just happy to have it)
go here, and first things first thank this guy: nikhil007mmus in his rom thread below
he has a flashable zip link in his second post for his rom thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748974
which when clicked leads you to his dropbox.
download the file that says Enable_skip_tracks_mod.zip and unzip it to the root of your sdcard (or wherever, you just need easy access)
copy the contents of the zip file (android.policy.jar) to /system/framework, (making sure to take a backup of your original for good measure) using a root explorer, i recommend es file explorer.
and finally, bask in the warm shiny glow that is lockscreen volume button music control.

Mixing frameworks like this should be done with caution. Just throwing this warning out for extremely new to android users

I know its not exactly an elegant solution, but it worked ok for me, if I feel froggy I might see if I can't just port a stock Rom from another phone with all the goodies baked in already. Viper Rom from the incredible s has all of it and shouldn't be hard to port.

Its our primo stock ROM with all their custom tweaks. Lol I've been around the block a few times, thanks for your concern though.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

so i found a better cleaner way to do this, dl the zip attached to this post, and decompile android.policy.jar from your favorite sense rom and add these 45 files inside the zip to it. then recompile, and use adb or a root explorer to push it back to /system/framework. its nice to have a stock sense rom with volume button music controls now, that doesnt mess up after using it a few times.
once again, credit goes to nikhil007mmus
only hitch is long press down volume button pauses the music for now, im working on getting it to properly skip back a song or repeat the current one from the beginning.
took me a long time, but i figured it out finally lol.
pull classes.dex from android.policy.jar from your sense rom and put it in the same folder as smali and baksmali (use google to find and dl them)
issue these commands to decompile and then recompile:
java -jar baksmali.jar -x android.policy.jar -o classout
stick the files from the zip in com/android/internal/policy/impl and after you are done:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex
then use 7zip or something like it to put classes.dex back into android.policy.jar and push android.policy.jar back to your phone however you prefer to do so
note: this only works on deodexed roms, but htc should have included this to begin with, would have saved alot of headache.
and finally, enjoy.

Xposed Installer + Xposed Tweak Box works. just don't select any other options besides the volume button skip mod or else you will get a bootloop

Thanks for your input, I've never heard of that.

[GUIDE] Get ANY 4.2.2 PrimoC ROM Working on Cricket

I've decided to make a solution for primoc users who are on the Cricket network and want to have working Mms on a custom ROM due to requests.
EXPERIMENT:
Nestoh has included my patch and added his own Virgin Mobile carrier text mod to it in a flashable zip. Try it and report if it works for you please!!! (Recommended to try on RhythmicRom!)
DOWNLOAD
Okay so this is quite simple.
Step 1: Download this and copy to your SD Card.
Step 2: Flash the VMtoCricket.zip in recovery
Step 3: Wipe Cache & Davlik then reboot into your ROM
Okay, now the easy part is done. Now we will change your APN settings to get your phone up and running on Cricket.
Now Follow These Steps:
-Open voice dialer
-Say Open Apn's
-Open Spint APN
-Hit Menu then Delete Sprint APN
-Hit menu then New APN
-Input the APN settings for cricket
APN Settings:
Code:
Carrier=Cricket
Apn=Cricket
Proxy=wap.mycricket.com
Port=8080
[email protected]
Password=cricket
MMSC=http://mms.mycricket.com/mycricket/mms.php
Hopefully this works for you! Fяy has verified for me it has worked.

This works fully now i finally have working mms on my rom

Just installed this, but I haven't tried to send any mms. Just wanted to add this onto it. Since it still says the carrier name is Virgin Mobile, here's a quick fix for that.
1. Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?lul47jcyj52t49c
2. Copy and paste it into your /system/framework
3. Set the permissions to -rw-r--r--
4. Reboot
Note- Make a backup before installing just in case. Because I know some people will forget to set the permissions or will set them wrong. Also, try pushing it through ADB, it's much easier.
Edit: By the way, this is for the Rhytmic Rom

ok... I just installed Rhythmic on my wife's phone... flawless! and flashed the cricket mms fix... working!! I just wanted to drop by an tell you THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No? Its the framework-res.apk its in your /system/framework folder. Do this step by step. Make a backup first tho.
1. The apk you downloaded (which is the framework-res.apk) rename it to 1framework-res.apk
2. Copy and paste it to the folder /system/framework
3. Set the permissions to -rw-r--r--
4. Delete the other framework-res.apk
5. Rename the '1framework-res.apk' to just 'framework-res.apk'
6. Reboot your phone.
