Hi all,
This is the stock JVH framework with SIP over 3G and CRT-OFF animations.
I post it for all I9000 owners who want to keep the stock application and to be able to do VOIP call on the go.
CRT-OFF is a bonus, keep in mind that you have to activate animations in Setting/display to use it.
Do not forget to press the thank button on this page if you like my mod.
See my post [MOD] XXJVH unlimited Browser Tabs to enhance the usage of the browser on your device.
To install :
-copy the apk to your sdcard
-Delete the old Browser.apk in /system/framework
-Place the new apk in /system/framework
Note:
Don't forget to be superuser and to mount the partition as read-write :
for stock kernel :
$su
#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
#cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#exit
$exit
Restart...
for CF-ROOT kernel, (thanks to ramad)
su
stop (phone will freeze, that's OK just move on)
busybox mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot

Question
Hi Eric,
Thanks for this app.
I have rooted xwjvh rom.
I've done steps under adb and crt off is working but SIP settings does not appeared!
SIP is the only reason why I changed to 2.3.3
Can you help me?
Regards, Robert
Hi Robert,
I guess that you did not make a change to /system/permission.
Am i right ?
Is it late on the night here in Sri lanka, i will come back to you shortly.
Cheers,
Eric
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the answer.
Nop i did steps only what you wrote.
Now I went to Gingerreal and SIP is working fine. So I lost my interest... Sorry...
Thanks again for your help.

I've made this thread to show you how to fix this frustrating bug. After few steps you'll get working light sensor better than in previous GB versions
Files need to be replaced or edited:
- services.jar
- framework-res.apk
- sensors.default.so
Recommended kernel:
- Galaxian*
Based on original Samsung sources
All Voodoo addictions (color fix, sound V9)
CPU frequencies: 100MHz, 200MHz, 400MHz, 800MHz, 1000MHz, 1200MHz, 1300MHz, 1400MHz.
CONFIG_HZ=500
CWM 3.0.0.5 based on, and fully compatible with CF-ROOT
Light sensor polling 1s instead of 2s
Compatible with RFS and EXT4
Much more I can't remember
What needs to be done:
framework-res.apk edit
1. Get apk manager (attached)
2. Put framework-res.apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder
3. Run apk manager, decompile with dependancy (option 10)
4. Drag twframework-res.apk from your ROM into the script, or extract it somewhere and type path to it
5. Go into projects\framework-res\res\values\arrays.xml
6. Replace two sections:
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">
<item>30</item>
<item>300</item>
<item>600</item>
<item>1500</item>
<item>1500</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>80</item>
<item>150</item>
<item>200</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>

7. Delete .bak file if you got one after changes
8. Go back to script and select compile
9. Say y
10. Say y
11. Delete resources.arsc from keep folder
12. Enter in script
13. U'll find unsignedframework-res.apk in "modding" folder
14. Use ADB
Code:
adb push unsignedframework-res.apk /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk
reboot
services.jar replace/edit
Attached services.jar should be compatible with all JVP releases as long as author didn't modified it. If you are not sure you can always edit your own version by doing:
1. Get apk manager (attached)
2. Put services.jar in "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder
3. Rename it to services.apk
4. Run apk manager, decompile (option 9)
5. Go into projects\services.apk\smali\com\android\server\
6. Replace PowerManagerService.smali file with the one from my services.jar
7. Delete .bak file if you got one after changes
8. Go back to script and select compile
9. Say n
13. U'll find unsignedservices.apk in "modding" folder
14. Rename it to services.jar
14. Use ADB
Code:
adb push services.jar /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/framework/services.jar
cp /data/local/tmp/services.jar /system/framework/
rm /data/local/tmp/services.jar
reboot
sensors.default.so replace
1. Use ADB
Code:
adb push sensors.default.so /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
stop
rm /system/lib/hw/sensors.default.so
cp /data/local/tmp/sensors.default.so /system/lib/hw/
chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/sensors.default.so
rm /data/local/tmp/sensors.default.so
reboot
GALAXIAN KERNEL:
1. Go to the Market place
2. Install SGS kernel flasher
3. Extract zImage.7z to your internal SD card
4. Select zImage and flash
5. Be happy
New version of sensors.default.so! Now all 4 steps are working!
BTW. With those files you will now loose BLN!
Thank you very much in providing this fix.

It fixes the Auto brightness issue in some kernels.
i guess when auto brightness is checkedit is not reacting or reacting wrong?
Im guessing this only works on deodexed?
This is a fix of the moth !
THANK YOU SIR !
btw., what kernel is this? your own ?
Simce I can't find Galaxian anywhere on the forum.
Btw. where are the attached binaries from? Extract from original JVP kernel ?

Ill look at this properly, but couldn't you put this in a CWM flashable package? Thanks if you can.
Sent from my ever changing Galaxy S
CWM flashable package, please
The biggest "problem" is that you need to change values in the framework.
And that one is connected to the theme you use.
Battery color / lockscreens stuff like that.
So making 1 general CWM is a problem....
If you encounter brightness problems, like not responding to changes or bright light in the dark (when it should be darker)
Then but only then consider this mod, if you do not know how to do it, then ask the theme maker.
ill rephrase my question =)
why those fixes (left stock, right this fix/tweak)
ALL_BRIGHT from 15 to 255
ANIM_STEPS from 10 to 50
AUTOBRIGHTNESS_ANIM_STEPS from 10 to 50
LIGHT_SENSOR_DELAY from 2000 to 1000
@$omator: it`s working! i think this is the only relevant answer!
you know a better way? then do it and start your own thread!
I'd like to try this fix but I can't because each time >compile< gets me an error in APK Manager! Something like "unknown source" and "could not exec command". Does anyone here have any success with this fix and Bezke JVP-ROM?
Hey,
I've been Modding my Nexus all day long (despite the strong possibility of failing my next exam ) Whatever, anyway... Is there a possibility of making a MOD that would prevent the stock SMS/MMS app from auto-converting SMS's to MMS? i have no plan for MMS with my carrier so when i convert to MMS it's never sent... and i HATE using third party apps when the stock has everything i want..
So, Please Devs, take that into consideration, i've seen it done on Galaxy Note development so i still have hope for it to be done on the awesome developers phone ( the developers are the awesome.... and the phone )
Just noticed this tonight... awful feature for me as well as like you I have no MMS in my contract.
Please someone create an option to turn this off.
+1
I like using the stock messaging app too and would like an option to turn this off if possible.
Just one pump post if there is a developer that might be interested!
(Not gonna raise this post again, it's just this once, don't rage )
I'd love this too, this is my main gripe coming to this phone. I'd of hoped one of the many custom roms would've picked this up and changed it.
I don't see why google can't just give you the option to change it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Maybe use a third party app to split the messages. Or idk if stock can do that

This is the solution:
- decompile Mms.apk
- change value for "smsToMmsTextThreshold" in mms_config.xml inside res/xml/ folder. 4 to 100 for example...
- compile
The big problem is I can't compile after... I have problem with apktools/dependency: framework-res.apk and/or systemUI.apk won't work for now. And I have no time to find what is the problem... If a great master could find this post it will be very good for us!

It will take a longer amount of time depending on how long your message is, the one I sent myself was 12 "parts", and took 4 minutes. It will auto convert at 20 parts now. Will work on adding splitting option, but not going to be any time soon.
Figured this was for GSM, tested on LTE fine, but let me know if it doesn't work.
Just used adb to push it over the stock Mms.

This is exactly what im looking for. The only problem is that in still a noob when it cones to android and modifying it.
So I dont know where to copy the file to/ install it.
Ive got adb and my phone (Galaxy Nexus) is rooted.
So i need some more detailed instructions.
The answer is probably not too hard to find in these forums,
But i also wanted to ask what other mods etc you would suggest/ have done for your galaxy nexus/ android phone.
All my googleing seems to find is that i can get free wifi tethering or similat things that my phone can already do.
Ive got lots of tweaks that i use on my ipod touch that i would like to find for my phone .
Eg.
Activator
Sbsettings
XBMC -> xbmc . org it's awesome
Etc

Sounds like you're on Linux? When you get the permission denied, it's usually if you're running adb without root. Kill the adb server, adb kill-server, then run it again with root permission. If it wasn't mounting it properly, it would give you something about being a read-only system.
I only have the NEW Nexus 7 and Nexus 4, so I am relying on you all to test...
Although it should work swimmingly!

LG Nexus 4 and the 2013 Asus Nexus 7 and there ain't
much bloatware... But, all AOSP ROMs tend to come with
at least one or two apps that I can do without (and
sometimes a lot more). Nightly Updater is a simple
tool that allows users to remove unwanted system
applications in an easy manner. NU also allows users
to customize which apps are removed.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Nightly Updater works by relying on scripts that
read txt files. When customizing your script, the
installer looks for junk.txt in the "NU" folder of
your virtual (i.e. internal) SD card. Each line that
has not been "commented out" (i.e. does not have a
"#" at the front of it) or any terms (i.e. app
descriptions) that follow a "#" are removed from the
script. This leaves Nightly Updater with a clean text
file that only has the applications you want to remove.
Review:
Custom Script is called: junk.txt
Custom Script goes here: /sdcard/NU/junk.txt
#Chrome.apk -- NOT DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk -- DELETED FROM DEVICE
Chrome.apk #Google Browser -- AFTER "#" IGNORED
HOW DO I ADD MY OWN APPS
You can add your own apps in three ways: [1] name (without
apk), [2] name (with apk), or [3] file path.
[1] Name (without ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome
The installer will automatically know it is looking for an apk and
delete Chrome.apk.
[2] Name (with ".apk")... Just type:
Code:
Chrome.apk
I think you know what it does.
[3] Full File Path... Now, you can get a little funkier and do the entire
file path like:
Code:
/data/app/Chrome.apk
This comes in
handy for files like pre-loaded wallpapers and
ringtones you may want to remove. Be cognizant of
where the files you are removing are located! This
will become very important when telling Nightly
Updater where to scan.
By the way, Nightly Updater also recognizes wildcards.
This is great for those user apps that end up having
unpredictable file names. For example:
Code:
/data/app/com.google.android.youtub*.apk
com.google.android.youtube*
These are both ways of erasing YouTube regardless of
the "-X" at the end of the file name.
WHAT'S UP WITH SCANNING
When using a Custom Script, Nightly Updater asks
where you would like to scan for apps. By default,
Nightly Updater recommends you only scan in the
System/App folder - which is where (shocker) system
apps are located. Remember, most junk apps are located
in System/App. However, Nightly Updater has also given
the option to scan Data/App. Some developers will put
apps in the Data/App folder, so it may be useful to
remove apps from there. But NORMALLY, these are only
the apps you chose to install. The final option is
to scan EVERYWHERE. Be very cautious with this command!
Remember that it is matching what you write in
junk.txt with the scan parameter. If you accidentally
wrote "system" as an app you wanted to remove instead
of SystemTuner.apk (with full scan on)... you would
erase your system folder... that's REALLY BAD!!!
Now, if you only check this option when you are using
full path and double check your junk.txt file so that
you did not make any mistakes... YOU ARE GOOD!!!
When in doubt, post your junk.txt here and I will
check it over for you
WHAT'S THE DEFAULT SCRIPT
If you download junk.txt from the OP at XDA, then
you have seen the Default Script. The Default
Script is meant to remove apps that MOST people
would consider expendable. If you are nervous to
tinker with your own Custom Script, try running
the Default Script first. If the script deleted
an app you need or did not delete at app you want
to destroy - hit me up and I will walk you
through the steps.

This is a great idea! I've been doing this with shell scripts for the last few months, something I run after installing a new ROM.
One question, does the app work with system apps? The example showed /data/app/*. Is it the scam that does /data/app/* and /system/app?
Also - a nice enhancement would be able to delete an app's data/cache (but not the app) after installing a ROM.
Here's a sample from my script:
Spoiler
#!/system/bin/sh
# Mount /system rw
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
# Variables to common directories
ei=/system/etc/init.d
tw=/sdcard/_Backup/Tweaks
sa=/system/app
# Copy bootanimation
cp $tw/../bootanimations/bootanimation-GooglePlay.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
chmod 755 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
# Setup init.d if needed
mkdir $ei
chmod 755 $ei
# Copy over useful scripts
cp $tw/02log $ei
chmod 755 $ei/02log
# Change build.prop to support TWC streaming app
sed -i 's/release-keys/Nexus 10/' /system/build.prop
sed -i 's/test-keys/Nexus 10/' /system/build.prop
# Remove data for problematic apps
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.media/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.deskclock/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.tmobile.thememanager/*
# Remove unwanted apps
rm $sa/Accuweather*.apk
rm $sa/Apollo.apk
rm $sa/BlueBalls.apk
rm $sa/Books.apk

Most definitely works with system apps. Just add "Apollo" and scan system... /system/app/Apollo.apk is deleted! I really like your script too! Smart idea to back up init.d and boot animation!

Question for you… I want to delete all the folders under a certain folder, the OS command would be like this:
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/*
rm -rf /data/data/com.android.providers.media/*
Looking at the help in the junk.txt file, I'm not sure how to do this, seems I can do one file or one folder, not multiple folders?
# /path/to/file/file.txt > Deletes file.txt
# /path/to/folder/ > Deletes folder ... REMEMBER the trailing "/"

Code:

Should do the trick. Still the same scripting you used to use, just easier The script does rm -rf already.

Sorry, it only does rm -f currently. So for now add the "*" and it will delete everything in the folder for ya! If it doesn't break anything I will add the recursive command for folders.
Hey y'all! Working on a sizable update that is trying include several things requested from different devices. Looking for a little help on the testing side. First few that hit me up will get it.

BIG WARNING! DO NOT use the Data Wipe in version 1.5 and below. The script does not exclude the "media" folder... As some of you know... That's the SD CARD! I just did it and it SUCKED lol It will be fixed in the next version along with many new updates

If you have TWRP in your Kernel then it wont be replaced, as this is not kernel based. For that you need to flash stock kernel then use this mod. you will get Dual recovery.
Zorbeyd Can you add new cwm recovery 6.0.3.2 -Mod crazy_doze v2.5? .
On twrp usb mount storage works ?.
This is twrp recovery from this topic: [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49014840 ? :what:
