[HOWTO] Gingerbread Theme + Ext Pwr Menu + % Battery + Custom Anims on JPU (any rom)

Adding Ext Power as well as % Battery Mod is very easy thanks to Jim Panses super Arbeit
Many thanks also to Dena and whiskeybro for their Theme as well as vukandric for the Gingerbread theme.
This is how I did it on Darky's Rom, but it should theoretically work for any Rom based on JPU.
Possibly the Rom needs to be deodexed what most custom roms are anyway.
You will possibly lose animations but there is an easy way to get them back!
Read end of post for this!
Ok let's get started with the simple (but limited) method.
Step 1:
Download the theme from Dena, the Gingerbread Theme as well as the framework-res.apk attached to this post. Put them on your SD card.
Step 2:
Install Dena's Theme with extended Power Menu
Step 3:
Install Gingerbread Theme
Step 4:
With Root Explorer copy the framework-res.apk file out of this thread to /system/framework
Your system will most likely crash after that and reboot with the new framework-res.apk active. Then change the permissions to 644 meaning all boxes in the first column selected as well as the topmost row of the second column selected. All else unselected.
Done!
This should work for any rom, but I can't confirm it yet.
For anyone interested in making their own themes compatible with ext pwr + % battery here is the more complicated way to do this and the way I actually did it:
Step 1:
You will need Dena's Theme again as a base as well as a another theme that already has the % battery but lacks the power menu. (It work too if you don't have % battery yet, but then only for the ext Power Menu)
Step 2:
Extract the framework-res.apk of each theme.
Step 3:
copy everything from framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi of the theme you want to use into the same (sometimes also called "...\drawable-hdpi-v4") folder within the framework-res.apk of Dena's Theme.
Do not extract the framework-res-apk files. Use 7-zip to open them and do the copying!
Step 4:
Do the steps from the "simple" guide but instead of gingerbread theme you use your theme of choice and the framework-res.apk you use is the one you created.
Animations:
Many Themes use custom animations now.
The most common is the fly-in animation.
These animations might be lost with this method.
To get them back simply download the "Animations.zip" from this thread. Extract and move to /sdcard/AndroidThemes and then install with Metamorph (app can be found on market)
Here is another way provided by kenkiller

That was intentional

Very useful, someone should try this on Darkyy's 5.2

I AM on Darky 5.2!

Were you able to retain all of Darkyy's animations after doing this?

No it doesn't. Not all rom can use it. Each rom framework-res.apk is different.

differently themed maybe, but it should still work as they are all based on the same framework-res.apk (that of JPU)
Animations are gone, but I have a good idea how to fix this

Animations are what puts Darkyy's ROM apart. Apart from his very good themed colors & graphics.

Thank you for the credits!

The fly in animations are exactly the ones used in darkyy's rom,or at least similar enough that I didn't notice a difference yet.

If you used my files as the base for this, its only a little part of the fly in animation, because i dont liked the whole package!

What Dena theme do you mean? That link is to the captivate forums?

After installing the Gingerbread Theme all transitions are lost. I used the ones from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774738
If you want to add your own animation set I would gladly upload it here, too

My mistake, fixed it!
Thx for the info

Giving it a 5-star. Helpful.

it's pretty easy to regain the animations if u prefer the original.
Just extract the anim folder inside darkky's framework-res.apk with 7zip, and then overwrite the same folder and contents with the framework-res.apk you intend to copy to ur phone. But in the case of animations, it's needed to clear dalvik cache in CWM.

This actually does work on most custom roms, as long as they are deodexed.. Great work though..
Is it also possible to only add ext menu and keep glass window lock screen? I like the instant sms reader

[MOD] Electron Beam / CRT screen off animation for JVP + PNGs optimization

CRT screen off animation for JVP for odexed (stock) and deodexed ROM's.
UPDATE 14.06.2011:
- /framework-res.apk/resources.arsc file isn't compressed (like in stock Samsung ROM's)
- optimized all framework PNGs (with optipng) in framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk (lower memory footprint, maybe slightly faster)
- autofixing /system/framework permissions in CWM package
10.06.2011:
- fixed CWM package
- enabled animation in /framework-res.apk/res/values/bools.xml
All .apk files all zipaligned, like in stock ROM
Installation:
Download zip and apply via CWM:
CRT_screen_off-optimized-JVP-CWM3-proper.zip (5.71 MB)
OR (if you don't have CWM):
Download framework-res.apk and replace it in /system/framework/ directory by Root Explorer or adb shell. You should have ~6MB free space on /system partition before operation (delete some unneeded apps from system using Root Explorer or nitrality).
framework-res.apk (7.95 MB)
After installation you have to open Settings => Display => Animations and turn them ON to get it working Also don't change speed of animations by Spare Parts or nitrality - it will disable CRT screen off.

thank you so much that was prety fast
BTW what is electron beam ?
can you provide pics pls?

does not work, says installation aborted.

Tested? I Made the same and gives me a bootloop
Edit : cwm3 package Not working.

Thanks for doing this so quickly

I'll have to try this later

Download apk_manager 5.0 beta (somewhere in apk_manager thread).
Download apktool 1.4.1 (or newer), extract it, replace apktool.jar in apk_manager/other folder with downloaded version.
Pull framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from /system/framework/ and put them in apk_manager (modding folder).
Open apk_manager, choose framework-res.apk as project, decompile it with dependency, as dependency give twframework-res.apk.
After decompile go to projects/framework-res.apk/res/values/.
Open bools.xml in notepad, change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false' and save it.
Go to apk_manager, compile, answer Yes for question about system file, answer Yes in next question, go to keep folder, remove resources.arsc, then hit enter in apk_manager.
After successful compile you can choose zipalign options.
You will find unsignedframework-res.apk in modding folder, rename it to framework-res.apk and put in /system/framework/.
Pretty easy

WOW!! very useful and nice step by step.
Thanks Mr. Bo$s I will use your guide after I receive my SGS from repair in Sunday, I will tell you if I successful in this

no I haven't successful it's keep restart on boot animation:confused

I KNOW it says 'CWM3', but will it work with the 'CWM2.5' that comes with speedmod's new kernel?
thx for the response...

WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!
I ended up using "Super Manager" (free) from the market to install the apk file instead of messing with CWM.
Thanks a lot for that!!

after all that make reboot intio cwm recovery and take fix permissions
most of bt wifi drain or any problems come from noobish copying over files via adb, root explorer, cwm flashables that are not setting proper permisions and owners for files... fix permisions should be used 'just in case' after such interference with system

Thanks, works like a charm!

works like a charm, thanks.

Anyone notice that the weather detail view crashes when "force GPU rendering" is turned on in developer settings?

@OP: Thanks a lot for this useful app, Iv'e been missing during my review of the SGS3 on my portal.
Is there any chance you can port it over to non-root user? And if not, please specify why that would not be possible (need it for my article).
Thank you very much in advance and for your contribution to the Android society and other users as myself

thanks a lot it's look great

It's not in the OP but did you remember to fix permissions to rw-r-r? At least I thought you had to do this for any app you put into the /system/app folder. I always do and this works fine on my EVO LTE.

I can confirm this works on my Rezound.

Hum, i've just download and installed the htcmania's version (last post from Armin van buuren) and it's working in a stock and un-rooted galaxy s3.

Just installed this on my Skyrocket using the Dragon stripped rom - worked great!

Are there different versions (there was one that came with TeamDRH's ICS for the gtablet, but it seems to be an older version)?
I tried to replace the one that was already there, but it won't let me change the permissions.

Not works on omega 9.0. Put the file in system/app, fixed permission and rebooted, but no widget.....
Edit: found, it was called "news and meteo", i was searching for Geniewidget......:-D

Won't install on Razr. Why does it need root?

1. Download the attachmented APK.
2. Open your favorite root file explorer -as RootExplorer-
3. Make a backup of /system/app/SecLauncher2.apk.
2. Move the 'modded SecLauncher2.apk' into /system folder.
3. Set rw-r--r-- and change owner to ROOT.
4. Move into /system/app folder and replace the original.

Doesn't work on my Note 2. I was using 240DPI modded launcher and it worked fine. Installing this does the same effect as if I applied 200DPI using exposed app settings module, just compresses.

When I made this mod, I had a SII but now I've got a Note II too! .
I was studying the concept of multi-DPI on Android and I've discovered that DPI's size are 180/240/320. You shouldn't use others sizes.
I've tried this mod on my Note2 and it doesn't work.
Give me a couple of days and I will make one version that works on 200DPI.

Thanks
it works for galaxy s2 i9100, using fusion rom 1.5 ota 1 (s5 look like)
first replace seclauncher2.apk as the guide from the top,
reboot, if the icons doesnt fit the screen you do it right, then edit system/build.prop lcd density from 240 to 200 as we know reboot again and should work, some apps force close just clean cache or data in appmanager
Thanks again

gran trabajo
@sikamikanico great job
would be nice if you could continue to make things how are you to this great community
