I think this tut is for advance users. But others can try
1. Get your "framework-res.apk" in /system/framework
2. Use apktool to decomplie that file. (I recommend apktool becoz I often use it )
- Command to decomplie: apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
3. Download source file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4u6y6udecy60dei
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4. In extracted folder which u get from "framework-res.apk", find "anim" folder in \res
5. Extract source file in step 3, u will get 2 folder:
- anims
- other_files
6. Copy files from both folders in step 5 into "anim" folder in step 4
7. Open "integers.xml" in /res/value and find this line:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then add the following lines after it:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Complie your "framework-res.apk" with command: apktool b framework-res new.apk
9. You will get a file "new.apk" but dont use it. Open extracted folder which u get in step 2, u will find a folder "build" and a file is "resource.arsc" inside
10. Now you need to use 7zip. Right click on that resource file, choose 7zip > add to archive and select original framework-res.apk with type is zip.
11. Open "new.apk" in step 8 and original "framework-res.apk" with 7zip. Drag and drop "anim" and xml folders in "new.apk" to "framework-res.apk"
12. It's finished. U can use the file "framework-res.apk" now and see the transition.
Have fun! If u have question, just ask and I will answer

Actually i have the easier way to apply the animation but it will only work on CyanogenMod... I call this easy patcher by Achep.... For Samsung Stock ROM (Rooted!), please give me ur framework-res.apk as i can work something for the intergers.xml...
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19285951&postcount=41
Use it on the PC!
1. Put ur framework-res.apk to res/framework
2. When ur ready, press Patcher.exe
3. Then press Enter
4. Once done patching, put the patchers (flashable zip) to ur phone and flash it!
Remember this is only for the CyanogenMod 7 or other stock AOSP, for Stock ROMs, please pm me the framework-res.apk...

[DEV] ONLY TO BE USE BY DEV - 2.05.401.2 RUU - System.img

Just sharing the 2.05.401.2 RUU system.img
This is meant for Developpers and cannot be flashed as such.
I have noticed that this system.img has been slightly modify by the source (!?)
(ie it has been "cantonised" + init.d folder has been enabled)
The apk + jars are odexed like the original system.img
Enjoy
MD5Sum: b96f823fd89b5f6372aab8e3dbcbcd6f
Download: HERE

It would be nice to add the Boot.img as well ..

Hi Steve,
Good to see you here!!
Maybe we see you and your team here with an Elegancia Rom? :laugh:

Nice, wish more dev's would share here and there and support each other.
Even if it's only extracting a system dump of a RUU or so.
Hope to read more of you Steve!

Take it it's test keys still?

Since 2.05.401.2 is test ROM and all test/debug roms are coming deodexed In my view this IMG was made by someone and packed in IMG file...Will check that in few hours...

For Sensation, all HTC Roms (test key and release key) come odex.
The source of this system.img has indeed packed "his" Rom into this img file.
But this is very easy now using this image to make "its" own rom based on this system.img even if it is packed by someone (which is the case 100%).

YES MY BEST DEVELOPER IS HERE
I miss your Elegancia Rom in sensation.

I'm running ViperDHD V1.1.0. I've looked in the ROM zip file, but I'm unable to locate the 1st and 3rd files in the /framework folder.
Any ideas on what I can do?

For framework-res.apk u can take it in v1.0 ROM zip,or just use adb pull...
For the third one,it's for touchwiz (samsung), maybe for HTC is use the framework-htc-res.apk in system/framework

Softkeys installation

Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!

Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.

somebody can help please?

Hi, yes we can help, but keep patient ^^
I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

If you upload the zip you are trying to edit then I can take a look to see what's wrong :good:

Thanks for the responses guys!
I'm not insulted I'm just human and I can make mistakes so everything is cool
I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>
<rom>ICS / JB</rom>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
The xml file after the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:
Code:

If I can give any more details please let me know
And thanks a alot for the effort
I appriciate it

Hey mate,
It's not a rom,
It's the stock android that we have on nexus devices ...
What you get from system update through the phone
Over the air android.

Oh I thought the vanilla was the name of a special rom...
Anyway, try the attached file. But make a full non-droit backup, we don't always know what happens...

SystemUI & Sense

Hello everyone,
I'm still newbie with HTC-Sense, Usually all my themes/mods are build from pure android.
But in HTC, Whatever changes i did in SystemUI and after successfully flash the modified one using flashable zip, Nothing is actually changed!
What i know is SystemUI.apk in Vanilla Android goes under System folder and in Sense under Priv-app folder.
So my question is, is there are another Sense-SysytemUI related hiding somewhere? Or i need a special/extra permission in updater-script?
Thanks guys,

I believe recent apps is part of the sense launcher, maybe you find more luck in the prism.apk !
