Request: change lockscreen

i love the modaco custom rom but would like to add the lockscreen from drizzys custom rom. (or any plain android looking lockscreen)
is there a way to extract the files i need and simply replacing them in the MRC? i guess its just an html file or something like that to replace, right?

I guess this is the HTCLockScreen.apk and .odex but since it's a system app, it cannot be installed or unistalled, and overwirting the apk in the system/app folder doesn't do anything.
If someone knows how to do it I will be very interested too.

im not sure if it will work but you can download my rom go to
system/framework
grab com.htc.resource.apk
now adb push com.htc.framework.apk /system/framework/
then reboot!
steps:
adb remount
adb push com.htc.framework.apk /system/framework/
adb shell
reboot
then if your phone loops then it didnt work, but if you go straight to you home screen then it should be fine!
good luck

its not in the lockscreen!
its in the framework!

Or you could do what I did, pull com.htc.resources.apk from the phone, extract it with 7zip edit the .png files in res/drawable-land-480x320/ and res/drawable-port-480x320/ then zipped it and built the apk using apkbuilder.
Then push it to the phone, as usual make backups.

Thank you very much.
It works perfectly.
BR. Simemu

Thx it worked perfectly
I just pushed com.htc.resources.apk into the /system/framework folder.
Now is it also possible to change the notification bar with a similar method ?
I love the one from your Rom Drizzy Drake Rogers.

They are in framework-res.apk
A few jpg and png named status* in res/drawable-480x320/
Same method should apply.
As usual, would be smart to back up.
Edit: When I get some time off I may have a day messing with these files see about some different coloured UI's etc.

for me this does not work
what ive done is:
1. get the com.htc.resources.apk
2. extract it with rar
3. changed the mentioned png files
4. then i put them back into the archive (apk file, renamed as a zip file)
5. renamed the zip back to its original name
6. put the file as mentioned to the correct folder
there is no change.. is it a MUST to use apk builder, if yes, how to use that bat?

yes i did that, its not the case..
did you guys do it my way, or did you use adk builder?

Yeah use apk builder. Should work.
Edit: you sure its named right and in the right place?? It should have overwritten your old one.

and how to use apk builder??

okay, i signed the new apk with this http://www.anddev.org/signing_your_apk-application_for_release_keytooljarsigner-t3069.html
but that didnt work (the sign process worked, but then the hero looped)..
can anyone please tell how to sign the apk with apkbuilder??

Did you sign the .apk or the .png ????
Sorry...but i didn´t got a solution...i´m standing in front of the same problem like you

easier method here

no need to bother with apk builder with this method.

also this does not work for me --> phone loop
any idea, what i could do wrong? i am using windows paint (windows 7) to edit the files.. then i put the edited png files back into archive (thus, overwrite the files there) and push that apk file again back to its path.. after phone reboot the phone goes into endless loop

I want to change my lockscreen, it all seems to make sense apart from editing the .png files..
What am I supposed to be changing in the files? Maybe I missed something, but that doesn't seem to have been explained

tha background image of your lockscreen can be changed easily in the phone settings, but if you wanna change the other parts of the lockscreen, then you need to do it like told here ;-)

[Q] Problems with theming Framework

Hi everyone,
I'm having a few questions regarding the theming of framework-res.apk on Android Revolution (No-Sense/Sense)..
After I pull the .apk, and decompile it, I edit the images so that the .9.png files stay intact. Then after that I compile the entire .apk and use WinRar to only push the images to the origional framework-res.apk..
But everytime I flash it I get bootloops and it won't boot into Android, any idea what I do wrong in the proces?
Thanks in advance!

if your using apk manager when you recompile the framework-res.apk it will ask you if its system app click yes then it will ask if you want to keep signature also click yes then you will have to delete the icons you changed in the keep folder then press enter in cmd window
it will compile and be called unsignedframework-res.apk rename to framework-.apk then open the rom using winrar (DO NOT EXTRACT) then just drag and drop the new framework-res.apk into the framework folder click ok let it do its thing then close winrar drop it on sd card and flash

Or do what i do, make a copy of the zip file then extract the files you want to view, put them in a folder, then the icons you wanna swap put straight into the orig zip folder in there place, this method works for me fine & without any bootloops

I find it much easyer this way. Can i ask you a question if you know abit about framework modding can you see were i have gone wrong here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195549
I can live with it but i would rather change it to a light gray or a different color? Any help would be very nice & not had a reply about this yet? Can you help?

i had the same issue and i found it easier to update the old framework and overwrite existing files. once you have completed compiling your new framework APK extract the contents and copy into the old framework... and that seems to work fine

[MOD][THEME][APP]Original Samsung Galaxy S II Boot Animation and Shutdown

This is the boot animation with audio and shutdown with audio from the original samsung galaxy s II. in my opinion they are much cleaner, and classier than some of the others... I like a simple clean look.
Here is the boot animation. I have tested and it works for stock roms, custom roms version was tested and works. SSConceptz zipped it for flashing. Thank Him!

Sorry Guys, I thought they were done uploading, apparently not...
I love the power on and power off animations, clean, simple, and no carrier branding...

Thanks was really looking for a replacement to Sprints splash during shutdown.

Thanks will try these when I get home.

I am running Midnight ROM 2.2, with Kernal that came with it...
What Rom are you on? - I guess I should have been more clear... If you are stock rooted, this may not work, depending on what kernal you are running. the Kernal needs to support boot animation. Unfortunately I dont have the original Galaxy S II qmg files. I am sure they are out there, but the only way to test them is to install the bootsamsung.qmg from a GSII in the same location, and overwrite the existing. do you have cwm on your phone? can you make a backup first? I highly recomend you do that!~
As far as power on, just replace the poweron.ogg file, or you can convert the wav file i included to an ogg file with a converter, I dont think that will matter. the sound should work either way.
as far as the shutdown animation and sound...
I am updating the OP Now~ sorry for the confussion...

Okay, thanks for some clarification. I am on Stock Pulled kernel with CWM5. I was able to get it working with a minor change to your steps.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
1) Download Original SGSII without boot animation support.zip file in OP
2) Unzip contents to location on phone (internal or external is fine)
3) Nandroid backup in CWM5 just in case
4) Using Root Explorer, copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media. Fix permissions to be like other files.
5) Copy PowerOn.wav to system/etc. Fix permissions
6) Copy shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown. Fix permissions
7) Copy PowerOff.wav to system/media/audio/ui (this is different than stated in OP) Fix permissions
8) Reboot and should be good to go.
Also, just a note, the PowerOn.wav file is exactly the same as the one that already exists on the stock rom. It is already the Samsung sound so no need to really copy that file if you are on stock.
Thanks for helping us get rid of the ugly Sprint boot animation!!

Awesome... Glad you got it working!
I wish I knew how to compile a flashable zip for CWM. It would be easier for others if they could just flash the corresponding zip for the ROM they were on...

Thanks for the modified install procedure. Works for me now.
I replaced the PowerOn.wav with a .wav file I found at freesounds.org. It's quite different and fresh/new!
Let me know if you want the file, ahhhh screw it, I included it here for you...
Just rename it PowerOn.wav of course...

That's exactly what I am looking for since wiped rom a long time ago.Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thanks for posting this and working on it! Working great on stock rooted ROM and stock kernel.

Followed these steps, mainly the Audio Shutdown directions and now I have the shutdown audio.

I created a flashable for stock roms and I can post if someone needs it. I can make one for modded roms but I need to know what the difference is and what files aren't required.

I have already made a mod for the carrier labels in the fi27 update. The new carrier label says team rejectz. If you would like to make your own carrier label(s) for fh23 for your own personal use, here's how...
What you will need:
-Pc/laptop updated with the latest java /sdk/jdk. (google it)
-Team Rejectz quick fix. (xda-dev section)
-Root file explorer such as : root explorer or ES file explorer OR adb shell on your pc to pull/push files from your pc to your phone.
-Notepad++ (google it)
-7 zip (google it)
- rooted e4gt and a NANDROID BACKUP!
1. Pull the framework res from your phone. Make a copy and save it. (system/framework)
2. Use the quick fix to decompile the framework res apk. The quick fix will make a framework res folder.
3. Go to res/values/strings.xml and open it with NotePad ++
4. At the top of NotePad ++ you will see an icon that looks like a pair of binoculars. That's the search icon.
Search for "Sprint". You should get 3 instances.
5 edit "Sprint" to say Black or Team Rejectz, your name or whatever you like. Just make sure its not too big or it won't work.
6. Recompile. After quick fix is done recompiling, there will be 2 new folders in the framework res folder; build, and dist. Go into the dist folder and you will see your new framework res apk.
7. Open the archive (don't extract, just open archive) of both the original copy of the framework res and the new one you edited from the dist folder. Drag and drop the META inf folder from the original to the modded apk. Now double click on the res folder in both archives. Drag and drop the drawable hdpi folder from the original to the modded archive.
Close out the archives and push your new framework res to system/app on your phone with either adb or your rooted file explorer. If you use the file explorer to push the framework res make sure you set the permissions the same as the rest of the system apks first. Push, reboot, enjoy.

Thanks

-Pc/laptop updated with the latest java /sdk/jdk. (google it)
-Team Rejectz quick fix. (xda-dev section)
-Root file explorer such as : root explorer or ES file explorer OR adb shell on your pc to pull/push files from your pc to your phone.
-Notepad++ (google it)
-7 zip (google it)
- rooted e4gt and a NANDROID BACKUP!
1. Pull the framework res from your phone. Make a copy and save it. (system/framework)
2. Use the quick fix to decompile the framework res apk. The quick fix will make a framework res folder.
3. Go to res/values/strings.xml and open it with NotePad ++
4. At the top of NotePad ++ you will see an icon that looks like a pair of binoculars. That's the search icon.
Search for "Sprint". You should get 3 instances.
5 edit "Sprint" to say Black or Team Rejectz, your name or whatever you like. Just make sure its not too big or it won't work.
6. Recompile. After quick fix is done recompiling, there will be 2 new folders in the framework res folder; build, and dist. Go into the dist folder and you will see your new framework res apk.
7. Open the archive (don't extract, just open archive) of both the original copy of the framework res and the new one you edited from the dist folder. Drag and drop the META inf folder from the original to the modded apk. Now double click on the res folder in both archives. Drag and drop the drawable hdpi folder from the original to the modded archive.
Close out the archives and push your new framework res to system/app on your phone with either adb or your rooted file explorer. If you use the file explorer to push the framework res make sure you set the permissions the same as the rest of the system apks first. Push, reboot, enjoy.

Yea. Tried this today. I ran into a couple problems. The last step you say to push the framework-res file to "system/app" is that correct cause there is no room in there. I only have like a couple megs in there. I would have thought that it replaces the original file in "system/framework". I copied it there and over wrote the original and set permissions . The phone restarted by it self when I did that and got stuck on the boot animation. I force restarted the phone again and it still gets stuck on the boot animation. I restored my nandroid. I followed your instructions to a T. With the exception of where the framework-res file should go:crying: My carrier label has the same amount of characters as "Team Rejectz".

Ok, first yes that should go to framework, system/app must have been a typo. Second, the getting stuck on boot could be a number of things, you'll have to get a logcat to find the specific cause. When this happened to me it was an improper edit that caused the xml to fail although it recompiled fine. Hope that helps.

Ok, so I can start attempting to make my own carrier label, and I want my clock on status bar in the center

Privacy Guard Notifications

I am on CM11 nightlies for SGS4 mini. Can you disable Privacy Guard notifications as the icon/notification is very annoying and persistent. It only goes if phone is rebooted. Will be back again if app with revoked permissions is launched again. Thanks.

Hi not sure if you solved this, here is solution that worked for me:
1. Copy framework-res.apk from system/framework folder (keep a backup for any case).
2. Open apk with Zarchiver (pick option View), and look for icon stat_notify_privacy_guard.png.
3. Delete icon, and let Zarchiver to save the file.
4. Overwrite the original framework-res file, and correct permissions (I use Aroma Explorer in revovery for all sensitive file ops).
Cheers

Thanks mate, had to install the modded framework-res.apk by unzipping the original rom and re flashing but worked all the same thanks a bunch for taking the time to write that it would have drove me insane haha.
