Can someone post stock, odex versions of the FF18 systemui.apk and systemui.odex files? I seem to have lost mine. Or if there's a way to grab these from one of the stock, odex ROMs through Odin, please let me know.
Thanks for any help you guys can give.

Oh that's easy, just download the stock ff18 rom and take the zip file off your sd card and put it on your pc desktop. Put it in a folder and UN zip the file. Open the system folder and find the app folder. The system ui will be inside. Put that on your sd card and and push back to system/app on your phone with root explorer or ES file explorer. Reboot and you have the stock ui.

Hi All,
I was wondering if I could put out a request for some APKs. I would like to have live wallpapers on Bonsai and have tried putting livewallpaper.apk and the picker into my Epic but I don't have Root Explorer and I can't seem to change the permissions on those files. Right now all of the APKs I found have Read Yes Write Yes and the other one No. All of the APKs in my app directory have Read Yes Write No and other one No. Could someone post those APKs with permissions set like that? I don't know if that is my exact problem or if it is worth it to buy RE for only that purpose.
TIA,
DD
I believe its been mentioned before that ES File Explorer brings most of the Root Explorer functionality for free. I could be wrong though since ive never tried it myself. Worth a shot though if its just a permissions issue.

U can also use sdx stock app removal app, just put the apk in the adx folder on the SD card and go Into the app then to manage backups and got restore
Set From My 3.0.1 Bonsai Epic 4g
Thanks. I have tried everything. I could not change the permissions using sdx or ES File manager. All I could do with those programs was access the system directories. Unless I am doing something wrong, I will either need to get Root Explorer and change the permissions or get altered livewallpaper apks.
I think the frankenstine rom thread has a flashable zip for live wallpapers

OK. I think I may be confusing some people.
I would like to have Live Wallpapers in Bonsai since it's been removed. I did some research and found that you need to install the livewallpaper apks into the system/app directory. I did that using ES File Manager and rebooted. It didn't work. I did some more research and a few people had the same issue. The solution was to make sure the permissions in the livewallpaper apks was exactly the same as the permissions as the other apks in the apps directory. The apks in the directory all have Read Yes, Write No and Hidden No. All of the livewallpaper apks I found had permissions set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No. I figure if I change the Write from Yes to No, it might work. I'm not 100% positive which is why I don't know if it's worth it to buy Root Explorer just to experiment. I'm hoping someone can provide me with the livewallpaper and livewallpaperspicker apks with altered permissions that have those settings.
Estewa_619, I will try that ROM. Thanks!
Tried the Frankenstein ROM livewallpaper apks and it still didn't work. The permissions are still set up as Read Yes, Write Yes and Hidden No.

This is very easy to solve. Go to midnight rom and download it to computer. Open up the midnight extras folder and you will find lots of zip files in there that are all flashable in CWM. Just extract the folder, then copy the live wallpaper zips you want onto your sd card, then flash in CWM.
Alternatively, what I normally do is download the rom you want to flash (Bonsai). Open it up on your pc. Navigate to system/apps. Paste the livewallper apks into that directory. Then flash normally. This will include any files you want in the system/app folder.

7zip (windows) is what u want to use 2 open the zip but DO NOT EXTRACT it!!! Well in 7zip paste the apks u want into system/apps. Then close 7zip. Move the rom 2 ur sdcard and flash as u would normaly. U can also replace the boot/shutdown animation and a few other parts of the rom that you can add or subtract stuff from. I hope this help as not to sound offensive but u seem a bit newbish and 7zip isa great tool for viewing zip files w/o extracting them took me a good deal of time 2 find this handy tool, hope this helps ya out...

I tried all of the cut and pasting techniques. None of them worked. I came across this online:
Code:
adb push LiveWallpapersPicker.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
Code:
su
remount rw
cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
exit
exit
I went into the dos shell and sure enough it worked!
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Here are the .zips from the midNIGHT ROM extras folder... Flash one of these, should work.
But the adb method works just as well... Maybe even faster.
Moved to Q&A.
I am at lost on how to put the crt tv animation for when i turn my phone off into sleep mode
Flash the file in this thread with CWM.
If you don't have cwm or want to do it manually extract the libsurfaceflinger.so from the zip (its in the system/lib folder).
Using a root explorer, copy this file to system on your phone, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move this file to system/lib, replacing the original file when asked. It may be a good idea to copy the original file as a backup before trying any of this.

i did this to my r800x which is 2.3.3, and its in a boot loop now. Is there a different version for 2.3.3? Or should that one work for every version?
I'm not sure, but i think it may not work on lower than 2.3.4. Also no idea about r800x support. Try posting on that thread itself, you may get more replies than here.
Can someone please upload a stock libsurfaceflinger.so file from their 2.3.3 phone?
I made some mods in my framework-res.apk using apk-manager.
now I have the framework-res.apk file on my PC, and I'd like to know how can I turn it into a .zip file which I could flash using CWM.
Thanks in advance!

Ummmm....you don't have to.
Just make a backup of your phone with CWM and then use something like Root Explorer and then go to the system folder, scroll down to the framework folder and paste your new framework-res there and wait for your phone to auto reboot. Then your done.
My laptop broke,i usually mod my roms using 7zip,i remove or add apk files and more.
Is there any way to do this on the phone?I dont know of any compression apps in the market that will let me add or delete files while leaving the rom intact.
If i just unzip the rom,mod it and rezip it,will it work?Or it needs to be a certain zip format?
Use any file explorer that allows you to unzip/rezip
As long as you navigate back to the original file structure (usually /system, META-INF folders and boot.img) and zip up those three you'll be fine and be able to flash your modified zip in a custom recovery
I'm not familiar with any program able to properly decompile an apk or jar by using JUST the phone but if your just adding/deleting apk's you'll be good with just about any file explorer

What about the compression method?Should i choose High,Low or Medium?
And are you sure it doesnt have to have some special zip method?Dont want to brick,lol.
Thats what i was thinking just to use ES File Explore because it has built in zipl.

I use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx
Download the added root apk from the developers website. Extract the ROM you wanna modify, navigate to the extracted ROM and do whatever, then navigate to the original file structure and zip up those contents to flash in recovery
If there are different options for zip just use the defaults

Thanx a lot man,it worked!ES Explorer can only compress folders but FX Explorer can compress saperate files.I used higest compression.
Now i feel like i dont need windows or osx anymore,i can do just about everything on android.Oh and FX Explorer is definetly nice,i might use it instead of ES now,to bad they make you pay for it.
I rooted my phone following this thread for 4.04 successfully, but I accidentally deleted the system clock app while trying to get rid of the bloatwares. (I think it's called clock 1.0 in root uninstaller)
I checked the system/app folder and I have a file called "clockPackage,odex", but I don't have the "clockPackage.apk" file. Is that the file I need to get the default system clock app back? If yes can someone please upload it for me? otherwise what do I need to do to get it back?
Thanks in advance!
Just open up the rom you have wherever its saved extract the clock.apk. Then copy and paste it to system/app with the same permissions as the other apps r-w-r-r or 644 and root. Then reboot when it boots back up go to app drawer and you will see the clock app again.

thanks for the reply! sorry for my noobiness, but which file is the rom and how do I extract it? I looked through the unzipped files I used for rooting and didn't find any apk files
If you are rooted get root explorer to open the zipped rom then extract it to sd card then copy and paste like i said.
