i am in the process of cooking up a rom but wanted to know the file that its located in so that i could place a wallpaper pic so when the rom is flashed that image could appear on the phone
I think in either the framwork-res.apk or within the launcher.apk I might be wrong, good chance of it, but gonna try and help anyways.
where is the launcher.apk located?

Depends on the rom, but should be in /system/app what ever the launchers name is.

In touchwiz its SecLauncher2.apk, and if you're doing a CM ROM its trebuchet.apk. You will find them in /system/app/.

i saw somewhere once on an Epic that the stock Samsung lock screen slider was a red circle and red arrow up with the lock in the middle. I can't seem to find the thread in order to do more research or get what i am looking for.
so does anyone know how i can get my slider icon to be red instead of the greyish black it is now?
Flash a theme, or if you only want the lockscreen then delete all the images except the lock.

The images you are looking for are found in the framework-res.apk file.
Specifically i think you might be looking for /res/drawable-hdpi/
zz_unlock_arrow.png
zz_unlock_arrow_msg.png
maybe even
zz_unlock_lockbg.png
zz_unlock_lockbg_press.png

using Root Explorer i can get to /res/....but there is not a folder for drawable-hdpi
anymore thoughts on places to check?
Nope, that's where it is for moi. Weird. Try unzipping the whole folder then look on /sdcard/extracted/ and see if it shows up there.
If not maybe post your framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk here and i can take a look.
edit: Maybe mine's different since technically we don't have the stock TW Launcher. We have a slightly modified one on Bonsai.

Apk's are just archives. You can use your favorite archiving application to modify the APK ( i like WinRAR ). All I normally have to do is open the APK with WinRAR and take the modified PNG's (not .9.pngs - these have to be run through eclipse first) and drop em in to the folder you want. Boosh! Done.
I'm seeing the files right where we said they'd be. you still don't have 'em? /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Inside framework-red.apk is a folder called res. Inside that is drawable-hdpi, all the way at the bottom of that.

Its in framework res.apk too look for status bar background. There are two one is a bigger png which is for when you pull it down and that's a dummy file because on the epic its inside twframework-res but the other is a small box and a .9.png so if you don't know how to edit them borrow one from a working theme.

People are using different rom's , some other are asking for specific mod etc
Could someone write some guide how to do it, to enlight those who are not aware ?
Take the framework-res.apk from your current rom and upload it to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen
Once uploaded go to battery mod and select the battery style u want and cook it.
When its cooked extract the framework-res.apk from the downloaded file and either replace it with root explorer or push it with adb back into the phone.

Depends of which rom you are running but if you use VillainRom I think you need to open your modded framework with 7-zip and replace "META-INF" directory with the one found in the original framework of your rom. This is needed to sign the file.
However I'm not sure you use VillainRom (where files must be signed) and I didn't use yet the kitchen ... but your feedback is usefull if you want to try ...

Ok so ignore what I said upper ... should be only for signature of the rom (not needed in stock roms).
Anyway ... if someone has the solution ...
I always made that on my own...
Open the decompiled .xml in the framework-res.apk, edit those lines, add my own battery.pngs and that was all...
I didnt test it on my sgs2... But it should be the same way to get it...

could you tell which .xml to edit and what to add within the file?
I juz grab one of the batt mod out there and replace the .png files under /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 with the ones I want. guess its kind of a lazy way to do it=)
I have KE2 and get a "signature verification failed" error when trying to apply the UOT.zip file :-(
Anyone some idea how to get this applied?
Also my original framework-res.apk file doesn't have any folder called "/res/drawable-hdpi-v4" but the UOT file has!?

If somebody wants No home button lag upload here the android.policy.jar file from framework folder and i will modify the file for you. The original thread is HERE.
This thread is for helping people who can`t decompile/compile files.
I would appreciate if you can modify my android.policy.jar file. I'm using stock lsd rom. Can I copy the modified file with root explorer straight over the old one? Thanks in advance
Something is wrong with your android.policy.jar file. upload it again pls.

I copied the file with root explorer from system/framework or is it wrong way to handle the file?
Still something wrong with it.
What rom do you have? odexed or deodexed?

I think it is odexed (stock nordic LSD downloaded from sammobile and flashed with odin)
edit. Maybe we should forget whole thing if that file doesn't work. I can live with that lag and don't wanna bother you if my file is incompatible and can't get it work
To modify your file i would have to deodex-it/modify/odex-it back and i dont have time for that. If you want you can install a stock doedex lsd rom

Oh right. The settings back ground in JB i think is Framework related. it doesn't lies in the Theme folder any more. You can check this thread. May be this will help.

Hi all! Here I have posted the Sprint Spark bootanimation used on the new ZVA update . You can download it here. AOSP ROMs: You can use it on your LG G2 or other devices running an AOSP ROM by downloading Root Browser (or some equivalent) and going into system then media and then placing the bootanimation_sprint.zip in there. Then rename the bootanimation.zip file already in there to something like bootanimation_old.zip and rename the new bootanimation_sprint.zip to bootanimation.zip. Then reboot, and if done correctly you should see the sprint spark boot logo Good luck! Comment if you need any help or if I confused you in any way
Also, on CM 10.2 when you update it would change back the boot animation to the stock one. Not sure if it still does this, but let me know if it does .
Youdug's directions for ZVA/ZV8/ZV7: Name bootanimation_sprint.zip, push to system/media, rw-r-r permissions
I like switching those sometimes

Yeah. The Google Edition S4 bootlogo I used to use on my S4 before getting the G2. This bootlogo just looks really nice and all of the old Sprint bootlogos really sucked haha. If you're interested I can add some other bootlogos I have saved from some ROMs, they look pretty cool.

You can also install it using romtoolbox by going to boot animations and selecting it from "local" this way it changes the permissions for you, took me like 2 seconds to install this way, worked perfectly!
I actually used rom toolbox pro... not sure if that makes a difference.
I'm not using an AOSP based ROM, but I'd really like to have a more stock boot animation. Can anyone provide the directions for using this with a stock based ROM?
It still should be in system/media and the directions will be the same(just rename to whatever the rom has the bootani named

ROM toolbox didn't work for me because it looks like it couldn't overwrite the file that was there.
The directions didn't work either until I figured out how to change the permissions using ES File Explorer. Got it working. Beautiful work people.
Now, my only question is... I've found a bunch of cool looking generic animations. They all have different sizes/resolutions. Which one does the LG G2 use?

Theoretically a 1080p+ boot logo should be fine, however, it varies. So the best thing to do is try the one you like and see if it looks right. At worst it'll just look out of res and you could replace it.
