Drizzy's Blur some changes NOW WITH BLUE!

Big ups to Drizzy for making such an awesome ROm.
Here are 3 modified apk's; framework-res, Rosie, and HtcClockWidget.
I didn't change all the pictures just the status bar, Rosie Bar and WeatherClock Background. If people like my work I might just start posting more visuals on the demand of what people would like changed. Font color is going to stay because I can't edit the xml files.
To Install:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push Rosie.apk /data/app_s/Rosie.apk
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /data/app_s/HtcClockWidget.apk
adb shell reboot

Now with BlUE accents/highlights! (I think, I'm color blind so blue and purple look the almost the same, either way I think it looks nice.)

on your computer put them in your working path so that you can do adb push whatever.apk /data/app_s/whatever.apk
or if you don't have adb do this with them on the root of your sdcard
Code:
mount /system
mount /data
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework-res.apk
cp /sdcard/Rosie.apk /data/app_s/Rosie.apk
cp /sdcard/HtcClockWidget.apk /data/app_s/HtcClockWidget.apk
(use the mv command it cp doesn't work)
reboot

If you have adb then put the apks in you're sdk/tools folder or where ever you're adb is located

Use the commands David gave you in the terminal or recovery, doesn't matter.

actually it would be the recovery console because i do not believe that you can type "mount data" or "mount system" in the terminal and have it work, it will tell you the device or resource is busy.
also i use windows and i have adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll in my system32 folder so i can use adb from any directory on my computer.
the working path is what appears by default when you open up command prompt (which for me is C:\users\david\ i use for adb commands do adb push desktop/what.ever [dir on phone] or adb push downloads/what.ever [dir on phone])
but as stated before drop the files into your tools folder and cd to your tools folder then adb push from there.

Rosie for some reason isn't working for me... adb or console, going to try root explorer and see if it works, good work regardless

Will this work for other Hero roms?

Thanks appreciate it!

cp: cannot create /data/app_s/Rosie.apk (or any other file) : Path does not exist.
i also made sure those files were there

have any idea on how to get Plurk onto blur?

full lockscreen? Thanks.

Now has blue selection highlights!
I think if you wanted plurk you would need to find a non-odex plurk apk and push it to you data/app_s/ folder. I don't know if drizzy put out a build with plurk so look at some of the other hero roms.

[Q] ADB Push/Install Cyanogenmod 6 settings.apk

Would this work? Would it give us the ability to change the clock and notification text to white so that we can use black metamorph themes?

cant install via app manager. i dunno if it would work thru a adb push.

adb install fails: file already exists. Do I need to chmod the existing file in a shell first?

could work.

okay, I've mounted system as rw and chmodded Settings.apk as 04775, but I keep getting permission denied. How do I kill running apps in adb shell?

doubt you'll be able to do the customizations but you can use the stop and start commands in adb shell.

Tried it, nothing worked after issuing the stop command in adb shell. Had to battery pull.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

adb shell
$ su
# stop
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
# mv /system/app/settings.apk /system/app/settings.bak
# cp /sdcard/settings.apk /system/app
# start
assuming you've put the new settings.apk in your /sdcard folder.

That worked, it did push the new settings.apk. It even changed the icon when I click menu from the home screen. But when I click on settings, nothing happened . Oh well, Enomthr updated his rom so I'm happy again!

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure the cyan settings are involved with the custom framework on cyan roms. Because the xml in order to edit things such as clock color are located in the framework-res.apk. if some of you guys are new to android or have never reallly messed areoud with apks or ne thing here's something fun to try while waiting for root. Take the framework res apk from a rom and put it on ur computer and rename it to .zip instead of .apk. and you can see you things work visually wise on your phone. This will help you a ton if you ever want to get into themeing to make custom themes when we have root.

I have actually the same question. Does it work if a push a Setting.apk into my ROM, or there are something related in framework?

Bricked my phone after LCD Density Modder

Hi, First I'm not a clever man, nor do I know what I did to brick it but, I used
"LCD Density Modder" on the market and bricked my phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi&hl=en
My phone is bricked, it won't load anything past "Google", I've taken out the battery and put it back in MULTIPLE times, I've tried to reboot into Recovery Mode and get a red Triangle with an error.
I'm on 4.1.1 GSM model, Rooted and Stock ROM.
Is there anyway to fix this issue without completely wiping out my phone? The last backup I did was a week ago by hand, with click and drag.
Thanks for any help, I would appreciate it.

That's not bricking. And the red android is the stock recovery. Your going to need to flash a recovery and flash another ROM.

First off, your device is not bricked. Bricked means it is irreparable.
Second, all you have to do is get a hold of the stock build.prop file for your ROM build and replace what you currently have with it.

I'm asking because I can't transfer files via USB to my Galaxy Nexus, nor does my computer detect it.

Download CWM, rename it to cwm.img and place it in the same directory as your fastboot.exe file on your PC
Boot your device into the bootloader
Type: fastboot boot cwm.img
In the CWM menu on your device, navigate the mounts menu and click mount /system
Type: adb pull /system/build.prop
Open it up in a text editor, change the value in the ro.sf.lcd_density to 320 and save it.
Type: adb push build.prop /system/
Type: adb shell chmod 0644 /system/build.prop
Type: adb reboot

Ignore the post I just made,
I found it manually, and rebooted the phone but it's still black screen when I pushe d it to the phone.
"build.prop /system/" sounds wrong though...but I am still shocked I was able to pull it.

I hate double bumping but "efrant" instructions, I pushed it via your manner, which still boots into the black screen via build.prop /system" and it goes to black screen...and I tried pushing to "/system/build.prop" still doesn't work.
Any assistance?

So what did you do exactly? Did you pull the file from your ROM first, modify it, and then push it back?

So, I'm not using ADB kit, I'm using Galaxy Nexus Tookit v 7.4. I pull it through there, and modify it from 241 to 320 by hand. Save the file. Push it back up using the toolkit, and it's not sticking to the ROM.
I push it up, reboot, and check it by re-pulling it making sure it stucks but I keep seeing the 241 density not the corrected 320.
Should, I be pushing to /system/build.prop or "build.prop /system/" ?
Both methods aren't sticking to /system/build.prop

I don't provide support for toolkit use. Either do it the way I mentioned or ask in the toolkit thread for support if you want to use a toolkit.

It's to do with the permissions that get set on the file when you push it back to the device. it needs to be read only for the group and world
It baffled me for a good while. After pushing the file, do the following.
Code:
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/build.prop
Hope that helps

I had a feeling it was a permissions issue, but wasn't sure how to fix it.
I'll start pulling up the command prompts...wish me luck, thanks for all the help so far guys. I'll do two backup a week from now on, instead of weekly.

Finally got adb in cmd setup, I get a "failed to copy 'build.prop' to '/system/build.prop': Read-Only file system
I'll try it again, I'm pretty sure I forgot a step.

LOL, yeah I did, got that, did everything from scratch per your instructions, got up to the lovely adb reboot...and nothing, at all, black screen.
I re-pulled it, to make sure the DPI was changed to 320...and it was, and still black screen...=[ I'm really sad now.

Did you change the permissions like trevd suggested?
While booted in CWM with /system mounted:
adb shell chmod 0644 /system/build.prop
If that still doesn't work after a reboot, I suggest you re-flash grab the system image for 4.1.1 from Google's site, extract the system.img, reboot your device into the bootloader, and type: fastboot flash system system.img. It won't wipe your device, but it should fix anything that was messed up. (It will also remove root and busybox and whatever else you have installed on the system partition.
)

FINALLY! SUCCESS! I forgot the permission like you mentioned, but it didn't work the first two times, guess I mistyped something, it worked the third time.
I honestly appreciate all the help, and all the inputs. My phone is at 100%, and I'm doing a backup as we speak now.

[Q] replace framework-res.apk?

Was just wondering if there is a way to replace the framework with just using root without a custom recovery for the stock Rom?
On my s3 I couldn't do it with just root don't know if that would work on this or if I might have missed something.

All you need is to be rooted, it does not matter if you have custom recovery or not.
You can install any apk's since you do not need to go into recovery to install apks.

When I tried with root only before on a different phone I used root explorer to replace.
But when I went to paste it in the folder the phone locked up and rebooted.
Was that not the right way to do it?
Maybe using adb terminal would be better and not cause it to lock and reboot when I paste over the existing framework-res.apk.
Being in the system directory causes some issue with being that is also a constant used file.

The framework-res.apk should be installed like any other app
unless the OP of wherever you got it from gives instructions
to "copy" it to the /system/app folder.
Why not do it the default normal way? just double click on it
when you are in root explorer and it should install like any
other app. If it gives an error, then you can copy it.
If you "copy" it you have to fix permissions and you have to
change the attributes of the /system/app folder so it's "read and write".
NOTE: if there is an existing framework-res-apk in /system/app
delete it with root explorer before doing any of the above.

Framework-Res.apk must reside in system directory. /system/framework to be exact.
Easiest way to do it without locking up is with adb.
You were right OP that it locks up because it's consistently being used. When I make my mods and such to the framework, this is how I quickly get it to the device.
adb remount (if the kernel supports it in other words, anything but stock)
Turn phone screen on
Adb shell stop (your phone should now have a black screen. This command stops all running threads except the one for adb)
Adb push framework-Res.apk /system/framework
Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell start
You should now see the boot animation then the prompt "android is upgrading"
If you do not have adb remount option (it returns with permission denied)
Copy new framework Res apk to root of internal sd card.
Adb shell stop
Adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
Adb shell cp /sdcard/framework-Res.apk /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-Res.apk
Adb shell start
Just a pointer, disregard my capitalization. Only capitalize when needed.
This method should get everything copied successfully. Any issues just post back!

Oh thank you very much.
I will give that a try and sounds exactly like what I was looking for.
Sent using xda premium.

Not sure if this is really relevant but...
When I had the samsung vibrant, I used root explorer to make a copy of my framework-res.apk. I extracted the entire thing, found my battery icon files, replaced them with different images given the same name, then repacked the file. Then I copied it back to the original folder to replace the original apk and my phone immediately shut off and rebooted. When it came back I had my new battery icon working just as I had hoped. I was rooted running stock.

Wait... Are you saying that I can simply copy the framework-res.apk from SlimKat and use it on a Google Play Edition ROM?
I'm going to try it!

[Q] Accidentally modified Framework

Like a dummy I tried to rename framework-res while using my nexus so I could replace it with an edited one (deb rooted, stock 4.4.4 rom, franco -17 kernel)
Now Im trying to ADB in to rename the original file so it will boot again.
I'm connected to the nexus in ADB but when I try to pull or rename the file I always get some sort of error.
I was able to adb push a framwork file I downloaded on my computer but it still wouldnt boot. Im assuming it was bad.
Any help is much appreciated!
thanks!

The reason it would not boot with the one you pushed to the device is probably because you have to set permissions correctly after the push. Framework res should probably be set to rw-r--r--
Run this after the push, or if the file is still on the phone, run it now.
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Yes, most of the time, pushed files will copy with bad permissions. Every time I've ever edited a system APK, I've had to subsequently set permissions before it would act correctly. Might not be 100% your issue, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Well now Ive run into a new problem. When I SU to get root access it tells me that /sbin/sh isnt found.
I rooted the n7 with cf autoroot.
this would be a whole lot easier if twrp would mount the tablet so I could just upload and flash a zip to update it.

Well I was able to sideload the boot animation herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591471 just to confirm that sideload was working. I rebooted and it worked but still will not get past the boot animation.
The framework file simply needs to be put in /system right? so the command would look like
abd sideload framework-res.apk /system
Is that right?

You need to fix the framework file before you can boot. Try running the permission command without su first.
