I want to make metamorph work on my device without givving me fcs after i reboot. This happns when i try to change the boot animation by writing to framework-res.apk. i have a working busybox and nandroid backups so i am willing to try anything...please help.
i have tried running fix_permissions which didnt help
i have tried the linking solution
the process works fine because u can see the new boot animation load up fine but the phone gets a billions force closes for almost everything as soo as i unlock.
please help me out because i have searched the very depths of the internet onl to come out empty handed. i know many people are facing this issue so it would be nice to give them a step by step fix.
stericson did a good job with the app from wat i hear and once working is supposed to be an essential app.

Mine does too.
ahhhhhhhhhhh
What build are you using?
You gotta be careful with what build you are using and what you are changing.
Don't boot animations usually go into /system/media?
1.6 use shine and mask logos
2.x use Boot animations
They are different so...yeah...be careful.

This is true, but! Also their are two Apk's that always give problems when themed (Wrong). MetaMorph doesn't replace files that don't exist, meaning, if the two different roms have two different locations for boot files example: System/media or framework-res.apk/assets/images/ and neither are present. It will skip over both and not copy. So conclusions state that maybe one or more of the images are not accepted by the Android System.
These two apk's, my friends, are the framework-res.apk and the Launcher.apk...
Many of failed themes from the past proves this theory accurate, ask any old skool themer...
Worse case scenario, check the pictures with the (.9.png) extentions.
wow sorry i really lost rack of this thread sorry
i know specifically that the problem is cause by framework.apk and when i said boot animations i meant mask and shine.
p.s also im using latest build available in market

What Rom are you using? Cyan?
Who's MetaMorph theme are you using? Enoch?
Have you tried installing all of themes EXCEPT framework-res.apk to see if you still have the forecloses, or one by one to see which ones are causing the forecloses?
Some Homework:
If you want to test framework, try to remove all the foldes from the theme (make backups first). Add 1 folder back to theme, then run the MetaMorph cycle. Leave the png folders for last. When you reach a folder containing png's, add 3 png's at a time to each MetaMorph cycle. So now you narrow down the culprit(s) faster.
Example:
I am trying to MetaMorph my Zelda theme. My framework-res folder change, for some reason shuts down my Market on TheOfficial TMO rom. I can download, but when its about to install the apk it forecloses. But it works accurately on TheOfficial AOSP. (???) So, I am thinking that maybe it the way some roms are built.
im using cyan 4.2.15.1 with ebi1 port and im trying to metamorph the mask and shine at startup that writes to framework-res.apk

Would you be willing to flash my Zelda boot screen as a test to see if it is the theme. It might be the rom?
Here it is if you want to try:
i will flash yours and tell u the results and im currently on cyan 4.2.15.1 with bcrook's ebi1 port and enoch installed (via flashable zip)
edit: i cant even metamorph yours it says there isnt a valid thm file found? what does that mean?
edit2: nvm i figured it out u had an extra directory in the zip but i fixed
btw these themes do they have to be signed in a special way somehow like the zips or no
ps ur boot looks really nice
edit3 : still getting a million force closs after unlock so i wiped and restored

5 Lockscreen MOD for XWJVB - Updated
I have been working on the Lockscreen MOD ever since I finished my work on Overscroll Glow MOD. However, Rimmer1966 has successfully ported the 5 lockscreens to Gingerbread, and his share was very helpful to finish my work faster. I have decided to share my work too, so here it goes.
Features:
1. Includes 5 Lockscreens - Android, Glass, Puzzle, Epic, Rotary
2. Built on Stock Framework and Stock Settings App.
3. Puzzles are now working on the Glass Lockscreen.
4. Lockscreen Wallpaper now works on ALL Lockscreens!!
5. Puzzle Lockscreen is modified to show glow effect when the Puzzles are touched. (Thanks to Crysis21 for fixing the bg image)
6. Fixed few Force Close issues on Rimmer1966 lockscreens.
7. Framework Includes CRT Off Animation, Extended Power Menu, Overscroll Glow and Battery Percentage mod.

Nice work dhiru.
By the way can you make an update file just for the 5 lockscreens only?
I do like the icons here than the original and I already have a modded battery icons and other stuff.
Or maybe you can teach me how to mod it by myself.
Thanks!

This mod includes edits for framework-res.apk too. Hence, if you omit that, you will get FCs on boot due to missing resources.
I suggest you to decompile the provided framework-res.apk and make your required theme edits and recompile it back, or you can do it vise versa. Decompile your theme, copy the files from the source code and recompile it

Just decompiled framework-res.apk. No errors. Tried decompiling Settings.apk, error.
I will work on it tonight as I have an errand to do.
This would be my first try on modding. Thanks for putting me on the right track!

can i add it later tomorow your lockscreens to my tiny mods?
This is a mod for deodexed JPJV6 roms only.
it will add battery percentage,overscroll glow,CRT effect and Extended power menu to your deodexed rom.
I wish this MOD will open the door to Gingerbread Farsi/arabic custom roms.
Credits:
dhiru1602 for the source files
untermensch for providing the tutorial on extended power menu
Installation:
copy the file into your SDcard and install via recovery (both cwm2 and cwm3 compatible files provided)
Downloads:
1-Battery percentage+Extended power menu+CRT
CWM2
CWM3
2-Battery percentage+Extended power menu+CRT+overscroll glow

3-Battery percentage+Extended power menu+CRT+overscroll glow+5 Lockscreens
CWM2

There is a small bug in puzzle lock which has some misarrangement in puzzle in case of incoming messages or missed calls. wish you forgive me
Source files:
the source files have been attached. If you want to complete the MOD you may add the arabic/urdu values for framework-res.apk and settings.apk
I already add farsi string values for reboot,recovery,download in framework-res and also lockscreen string values in settings.apk. (sorry I can not speak arabic or urdu)
There is also one small bug in farsi values which I have edit
It was
Code:
<string name="full_wday_month_day_no_year">E d LLLL</string>
which I changed to
Code:
<string name="full_wday_month_day_no_year">E d MMMM</string>

Lots of errors using this method!
Tried even the crt.zip with CWM but nothing happens.
Well, the only errors I get was force close, after I rebooted my phone, it works normally and the CRT animation is applied.
Did you follow the steps exactly? Do not move the recompiled apk, use the modified original apk.

Dude,
I have attached the screenshot regarding my problems with the framework-re.apk.
Note :
-There's ONLY "build" folder but no "dist" folder.
Ahh, I see, the problem is that your current framework-res.apk isn't original anymore, that error in the "2.jpg" tells everything, the png files replaced by the theme maker isn't 9-patched (what is 9-patch? here, and here )
Basically, 9-patch allows the image to be stretched by redrawing some parts of the image. if the image isn't 9-patched, it will still displayed correctly on your Phone, but when recompiling the apk files, you'll encounter problems.
I tried decompiling and recompiling the ported ICS theme in the Theme section, all went well, but when I tried to insert a non-9patched png files to the apk, the error shows up.
Thus, in order to enable CRT animations for your phone, the png files on the "2.jpg" screenshot must be 9-patched :
- menu_background.9.png
- status_bar_header_background.9.png
and so on
Hope this helps,
Reidzeibel

Ohh no wonder it was always error! Ahaa. So what should i do now? I should do a NinePatch using the Draw-9 patch tool like in the links you gave me? Sorry bro, i am a TOTAL noob.
Yeah, if you want to do decompiling and recompiling your apk files (and modify the png files), you should start learning to draw the 9-patches, it'll be a little complicated though
Hope this helps ,

The lidroid apk has not an ordinary way to decompile/compile so you need to do some minor changes to your compilator tool to do yours modifications on it. This is happening since ics times, is not a new thing.
