Original Accuweather App

Would somebody please be kind enough to upload the original accuweather widget apk because the rom I'm using doesn't have it and the accuweather app from the market is different. Thanks in advance

Thankyou very much, but I can't get it to work. It won't install, and if I push it to the system/app folder it doesn't come up under widgets. Any way to get it to work?

Ur asking a good question, I extracted it from my original rom with root uninstaller dunno if you can install back by this app??

I suspect you are on Cognition.
If this' the case then you have to go to the Cognition thread and download the removed stuff from the first post and push it to /system/app either with Root Explorer or via adb.
If you take the original Samsung widgets from stock ROMs or even from past versions of Cognition itself they shouldn't work as expected...
A bit weird to me but that's the truth...

[ICS][MOD][CWMR]Long Press volume changes music track

So after desperatley wanting this mod to work on my captivate glide at any cost, i went after it myself. It looked easy at first but turned out to consume a lot of hours figuring out how to compile decompile and understand basics of smali.
What it does ?
As in the title, pressing the volume buttons a little longer (400 ms) will make the stock music player skip to next track (up vol) or previous track (down vol). This only works while the screen is off and phone locked which is basically the purpose . Right now will work on deodexed ROMs only, meaning pepole having "android.policy.odex" file in the system/framewrok folder would not be able to use this mod.
Caution : The mod if goes wrong can/will make your phone stuck at the boot animation unless the mod is removed. Copy both the files so you can restore your original file back in case it doesn't work for you.
How to Install
1) Make sure you are rooted. and boot into CWMR.
2) Flash LongPressVol.zip - Installs the mod and takes backup
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cache partition
4) Reboot and "Upgrading android" screen should show up.
You are done and now test it and let me know if it works for you. Enjoy!!!
Restore original/Remove Mod :
1) Boot into CWMR.
2) Flash LongPressVolRemove.zip - Restores your original android.policy.jar file
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cache partition
4) Reboot
Tested to be working fine on following ROMs
Nardholio's NardROM 0.4
Thegreatergood's LiteROM .4
Credits : Ported with help from the guide posted by jakubklos -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770564
Next update :
CWM flashable zip (will need some time to learn how to do that - Done
Post the Diff and the code to make it easier for other roms to include it if the android.policy.jar changes. - In progress

Awesome, been missing this mod since leaving my DHD
CWM Flashables worked great..... But since I'm using the stock rom which has not been deoxed it did not work.
It booted though didn't notice any adverse affects
Not to put you on the spot but do you think you could use the UCLH2 .jar and make a version that will use odex. not sure if anything would have to be done to the odex file but I have included the non odexed android.policy.jar files if you wouldn't mind taking a stab at it. If you could just modify the .jar file I'll test it. I would be forever in your debt!

Force closes PowerAMP and Nova Launcher.
Tested on ICS Leak.

Just delete the odex file and clear cache and you should be fine. You don't have to deodex the whole ROM.
or for extra points you can reodex, which theoretically will boost speeds a bit (although I'm experiencing wonderful speeds on my ROM). Redodexing is pretty easy (just Google it) and doesn't require him to do his mod again.

Cool thanks for the tip!

Strange works for me. Nova didn't quit at all throughout my testing. I tried Poweramp trial and works fine as well. Did you clear dalvik and cache after flashing in the Mod ?

Tried with no success stuck at boot screen. Thanks for the hint I'll try re odexing it and see if that will work next.
I like all the bloat that the stock has except the att apps, I would love to try your ROM but I would prefer a completely stock version of it with little modification and fixes. I have tried to do it myself with no success and simple don't have the patience for it. As my computer would end up at the muzzle end of a AR15. I really don't want to waste ammo or buy a new computer just yet. LOL ^o^
I'm very happy with the stock rom after applying the keyboard, tethering fix, and sdcard swap. It will be perfect when I get this working on it. And if its true that having it odexed is faster, I don't know but it is very smooth and battery is awesome.

As evident from your last post, it does not work for you on UCLH2. As i said in my OP that i've not tested it on LH2 and it might not work as the android.policy.jar may be different. It should work on the UCLG9 and the ROM's based on it for sure.
I'll see later what i can do for the LH2. Can you post me a link of your whole system/framework folder, so i can download the same ? I'll maybe try later in the day to see the difference.

Thanks you, much appreciated! http://db.tt/0PnPOv4p

Deodexed your files and compared the PhoneWindowManager.smali file with mine, they are binary equals. So technically this mod should work for you. As your ROM is odexed, you need to manually delete the android.policy.odex and android.policy.jar file and then copy the android.policy.jar file from the zip attached to the OP. Remember to clear dalvik and cache partition as the last step before rebooting your phone. As Nardholio suggested this should work and you don't need to deodex the whole ROM.

Updated OP with the name of the ROM's tested to be working fine with this mod. Will try some more and keep adding.

Do not delete the odex file... in an odex ROM all the code, java and smali are located in the odex class until you deodex which pulls the classes out and compresses them into a classes.dex into the particular apk and/ or jar file. So, if you delete the odex file the jar or apk is useless as you just deleted all the java and smali code it uses to communicate with the DVM..

Deodexing is all clear and i know the procedure, but can you let me know some link or tutorial to follow to odex it back again ? I think it needs the whole rom and needs some more files like framework etc. to be odexed again ?
Note: still learning and long way to go

In my trying to learn all of this too, seems you can re-odex a rom. But everything I found has to be done on the phone it self with terminal and a odex wrapper script. Haven't found a way of doing it on a computer yet.

I've read some tutorials as well, but lemme know if you find a easier way to do this. I'm almost certain that the odex files are specific to a specific rom, but i can be wrong as well. That's the reason i believe that the generic mods are only for the deodexed ROMs.

Yes the odex file is specific per app so if any changes were made, the odex file which contains most of the data for each app would also have to reflect those changes. As the changes you made were part of .smali which is part of the dex file. So on a stock rom the odex file is loaded into the Dalvik machine during boot. This is why when flashed on a odexed rom the mod does not take, because the non modded odex file was already loaded. I gave up as I'm happy using literom4 with your mod.
Edit: Ok here is why it has to be done using the phone, all has to do with BOOTCLASSPATH http://classictomatoe.net/dexo-universal-odex-tool/
If you wanted to make this mod for folks still using the stock rom. All that needs to be done is decompile the .odex file using baksmali make the changes to the necessary files and then smali ?I think? don't quote me on that.

Can you share the how to four this? I'm setting up a rom and would like to add this

Would you use the new uclj3 ? Send me the androidpolicy jar from your rom and hopefully it should be the same. I've not upgraded to .8 literom yet so not sure if it will work as .8 is based on the newer uclj3 released by samsung.

HTC Sense battery mod

Looking for the HTC battery mod. I had it on LJC then I odin'ed back to stock to do the MA7 update and lost it I didn't save it on my hard drive either. Searched and searched and now I can't find it. Hoping someone has it saved and can link me/upload it!!
**EDIT**
Found all the .png files necessary to do the mod by searching the GS3 forums. Open SystemUI.apk and place them in the res/drawable-xhdpi folder.

Haven't looked too much at morphology but I don't want to download an entire theming mod.. all I want is the Sense battery.
I found all the correct .png images from the S3 forums, but MA7 doesn't seem to work the same way as LJC did.. in LJC(unless I'm mistaken) you could just decompile SystemUI.apk, replace the battery .png files in the res/drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi folder with the modded battery images, recompile, and you'd be good to go. Now that doesn't seem to work. SystemUI reloads as if no changes were made.

How to extract Wallpapers out of a ROM
I did this a while ago while trying to help someone out. It was a really good exercise in learning some basics about apks and such.
First off, read through this thread. In my last post, post #7, I show where I found some wallpapers in the Freeza's stock Rom. I would assume that they would be in the same locations for a different Rom.
The procedure in pulling wallpapers out of a rom is outlined in this post.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, my current Rom (Liquidsmooth) didn't come with any "built-in" wallpapers, so I can't show you how to do it through there, but that methodology should work for you.

Isn't it interesting how apks work? I found it quite amazing how simple everything was inside. It makes the idea of modding an app (by changing the various images in the apk) less daunting... Although, I know some apks need to be signed, and that can (sometimes) be an issue. I obviously haven't looked too much into it, but I had a good time searching through the apks when I did that exercise.

There are also wallpapers in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, probably never the current one, but wallpapers that come built in as well. That's how I extracted one from the S4 dump and set it as my wallpaper on my shift (see attached screenie)
@topherk - it's actually really simple to preserve the signature (when modifying an app that's not yours) once you know how to do it. What you do is, let's say you modified the apk by inserting your own modified images. To preserve the signature, you get a copy of the original apk (let's say framework-res.apk) and then open it in an archive viewer like 7Zip, then you compile the apk with your modified images and also open it as an archive next to the original. Then you copy the "res" folder from the modified apk into the "res" folder of the original, and BAM. Modified apk with the manufacturers signature

[MOD]4.1.2[Transparent weather widget. S4 Icons

Hello peeps I bring you a transparent Accuweather widget today.
prereqs
device must be stock based deodexed rom that isnt chopped up too much =]
what chopped up means is the other weather apps need to be in the ROM too. no odexed roms unless you delete the odexed part lol not to complicated then reboot.
INSTALLATION
make a back up and flash it.
Also for it to show up you need the touchwiz launcher enabled.
remember a deodexed rom is important unless you take apart the zip and use root explorer to delete the odexed part then add the transparent widget to system app and say yes to overwrite. reboot .. done

Screenshots?
