[Q] delete/reset softkeys? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello
I've got this really annoying issue. I have omnimetal 4.4.2 ROM and zipthemer would not work but I got it to work finally. But I've already used the app softkeyZ to change my soft keys and they won't get overwritten. I'm stuck with these annoying keys and can't change em unless its with the apps selection. I flashed nexus soft keys from zipthemer and in the softkeyZ app when I hit the reload button it earases the keys I have and shows the nexus ones I flashed for a sec and goes back to these so it like knows its their. But these keys won't go away. Is there a way I can either delete my soft keys completely and flash the other ones or flash a zip that resets it like a stock 4.4.2 systemUI.apk file? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have once and it just gets messed up. Its hard to explain like the gapps needed to run ART don't install properly and every 10 seconds my phone or dialer force closes

Actually I went ahead and tried a dirty flash and its working fine but same prob. My lock ring and glow dots work when I change em in zipthemer but the soft keys just won't change :/ I've used the stock KitKat Edify and my ROM file and both don't work to change the keys

[THEME] Minimal Matte ! FOR GALAXY S!

I have ported the famous theme, Minimal Matte onto our galaxy s.
it is orignally designed for the android 2.2 froyo and have ported it to android 2.1 (near abouts). It isnt exactly the minimal matte but is most like . screens are below.
Orignal Concept by: shiftedx
BUT made by : webstar1
Includes:
*Full Framework
*Launcher Pro (Themed)
*Geniewidget
*Skinned Swype QWERTY Keypad
* and more!
If you like it, please support me by donating below, ill be doing more ports and maybe even a custom rom .
Tested on a European JH1 Firmware with root
Download
Donate
EDIT: Ok so people are having problems flashing this:
The way i did it:
Downloaded Minimal Matte by webstar 1 directly to my phone
booted clockworkmod recovery and chose install zip not apply update.zip
then navigated to download/minimal matte
once its installed rebooted and voila, its worked.
im using a JH1 with root access.
make a nandroid backup before applying.
ive flashed this 5 times now and have had no problems
Just in case, THIS IS FOR ANDROID 2.1 not 2.2
EDIT: I forgot you also need a deodexed rom, here are some to flash:
Doc's RomMod
MoDaCo Custom Rom

Yup, ur free to post themed free apps (unless the developer has issues with it). But paid is always a No.
Btw:
INSTALL PROCEDURE:
just flash it with clockwork mod recovery or rename to update.zip and flash in backup mode (vol up+home+power when phone is turned off)

*strange thing works through clockwork recovery
Black screen when rebooting. Forced to reflash in JM1new through ODIN.
What I do:
Downloaded Minimal-Matte-By_Webstar1.zip
Renamed it update.zip
Placed at the root of the SD
Launched clockwork mod from Rom manager
Apply update.zip
Reboot
Black screen! -> Reflash in JM1new + backup
What I do was the right approach? This is the first time I try to install a theme.

I don't know then whats wrong.I'll flash this on a stock jm1 and see what happens.
Try using theme porter to port the theme.

I know what might of happened, I have removed the bootscreen of samsung galaxy s where the S is made by tiny dots fusing. Basically if you flash this, I think it might wipe the boot screen as well so after flashing this, let the phone work for 10 minuets and the phone should definatley launch. You can get the bootscreen back by installing ryanz one click lag fix and the app had an option to restore bootscreen. Do that then uninstall app.
Try again but give phone time to work

Hi, sorry for my english i'm french
I waited for at least 30 minutes during the black screen but nothing happened. The black screen occurs after the animated galaxy S logo. The menu and return keys are lit during the black screen if I press them.
Has this worked for anyone at all

So was this theory proven correct?
I tried three times but it never worked (black screen). The last time I tried with a fresh installation: install the JM1new, root, installed rom manager, flashed clockwork mod, installed thre theme. Result still the same...
Use theme porter and see if it works
I think u must have a deodexed rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
it worked for me with clockwork recovery
here are the steps i did
1. download I9000TGYJH1
2. download root/busybox @samdroid
3. flash I9000TGYJH1 with repartition
4. apply root
5. install clockwork recovery
6. download this rom
7.flash it with clockwork recovery
so you dont need a deoxed rom...
my guess is that it needs a jh1 rom

[Q] menu unlocks vanilla lockscreen on rooted stock rom

this is frustrating. I have the newest stock HTC rom rooted (3.29.651.5) and i deleted HtcLockScreen.apk so i could go back to AOSP lock screen. now if i hit menu it unlocks the screen. ive searched a lot and there seem to be fixes for 2.1 but i cant really seem to find a recent fix for 2.2. i went through my framework-res.apk and cant find any xml files that i would need to edit. i also have custom icons and other pngs in my framework res that i dont want to lose by flashing a .zip.
does anyone know what xml (where it is located) that i have to edit to disable menu unlock?
i asked in the cyanogenmod irc rooms and they linked me to http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/dc138a8865bd34163cfefd32b1e89c27788e5538/core/res/res/values/config.xml where they told me i had to compile that. im not sure how to, any one have any clues?
Not certain but it seems flipzmode had a method for this or a script maybe.

[Q] Build.prop gone wrong

Hello,
I tried to alter my build.prop so I was able to download incompatible apps, but on reboot, my phone will not turn on. I changed ro.product.model to Galaxy S3, and now my phone will not turn on.
I made a copy of the original build.prop onto my SD card, but have no idea how to put this back into system, to overwrite the one I changed.
Please help,
thanks
Can you get back into recovery?
I apologize if I say anything I don't mean.
Yes, if I hold, volume up, home, and power, i get into the recovery

Nandroid is a backup of your phone. It is something you should do before doing things like changing build.prop and flashing stuff

If you flash the stock rom through Odin....you should be able yo get back to where you were with all your apps and settings in place.....

Reflash your ROM?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Where do I get the stock ROM from to put into ODIN?
Assuming you made a nandroid backup in CWM before changing anything in build.prop (like you always should!), just go in to backup and restore, and hit restore. If not, you have to re-download and reflash your ROM.
EDIT: Here is a stock ROM. Please also read here.
Excellent. That worked.
Do you know how to do what I was originally trying to do? I am unable to download some apps in Google play as they are not compatible with the SGH-I747, and I was trying to change this so Google play seen the phone as a different device allowing me to download the apps.
Thank You for your help
Have you done a search for the apk files? If you can find them you could just side load them.

How did you edit it.. most likely you screwed up the.permissions. you also need to edit more than one entry. Look for the thread on getting Google wallet to work. Use root explorer to edit it.

I followed this. But I didnt change it to Nexus S, I changed it to Galaxy S3, thats where I messed up. I am not sure if changing it to Nexus S will work either though?

[Q] Google Wallet

Hey guys I've tried asking in the threads for these fixes but to no avail so hopefully someone will be able to help me if I make a thread for it. So my issue is that I've been using Google Wallet just fine with no issues using the "build prop edit, reboot recovery and move wallet apk into system/apps" method and it worked until a couple of CM10 updates awhile ago after which it stopped working, I've tried to go back to stock and use the touchwiz fix which also didn't work and currently I'm on the latest AOKP on which I still can't get it to work.
What seems to be happening is that the wallet app is not actually installing in the system, so after I copy the apk and restart, there is still no wallet app or anything in my drawer or if I try the zip file flash method after the restart I'll get a force close for wallet and then the app is gone as well. Not sure why it's happening or what to do, any help is appreciated and hopefully we can get me back on wallet asap, I'm glad I already used the prepaid card up lol.
I'm not sure if you posted in the correct section but here's your problem you need your permissions to be correct. make them match this

Actually now that you mention it I realize it's in the wrong forum as well my bad, and I've tried that as well actually I just neglected to say it. Maybe you can advise me of everything you did and I can try it again I've got my nandroid already ready lol. And did you flash the zips or do the copy of the apk? Thanks again for the quick response.

I'm currently on the latest AOKP, I've tried it on codefirex, CM10 and the jellybean official leak(for the leak I tried the touchwiz fix method) and I've tried r75 and r79 neither are working but the copying the r75 apk into system/app method is what worked before. On the touchwiz fix method I actually was able to get wallet open but then it would say NFC would have to be enabled at which point the whole NFC/S-beam options would mysteriously disappear from the settings screens. There would also be a random vibration for no reason every few seconds.
Here's what I do
First I flash my rom then
I reboot. And with root explorer I put the wallet apk into the /system/app folder
I then change the permissions to the correct type. Then I access my build. Prop and make the three necessary changes. After that I reboot and I am able to use wallet with no problems. Btw I am using aokp and ill post the wallet apk I use in one sec. Are you on a Sammy rom because if you are you will most likely have to flash the new lib files as well

Ok so I used the files provided but now the phone won't boot up at all, it goes as far as the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo and then stops and stays black no bootanimation or anything, I'm gonna restore my nandroid and just see what happens if I use the apk alone and just manually change the build prop values for product device, model and name. Would you recommend the Galaxy Nexus values or the htc jewel? I use to use the Galaxy and it worked fine. I was also using root toolbox pro to edit the build prop which use to work as well,

I was confused about the reset wallet thing, I use to go on the wallet website and disable the app from there, not sure if that was right or not. I have not received any of the broken element msgs, there's just no wallet period lol.
Update, it didn't work. I did the move, edited the build prop but Wallet just won't appear despite being in the system/app folder rw-r-r

(Request) AOSP Lockscreen Pattern

Can someone make (or tell me if its not possible) the AOSP Pattern Lock to be used on stock or deodexed roms? i really dislike this part of the LGUI and hopefully someone out there can change it

Im not sure but I think to get the aosp lockscreen you just have to delete the lg lockscreen. I don't think our lockscreen is that bad I just don't like the shortcuts.

Yeah, if you go in system/app and delete lgelockscreen.apk, you'll have the built-in AOSP lockscreen. It has this annoying ass grey bar at the bottom though that you can't get rid of. Also, you can download Mobint's holo lock screen from the market and paste that into system/app
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk
I had removed the grey bar and tweaked some variables back in December. It works on deodexed or odexed ROMS doesn't matter. It's made for unmodified stock ROMS (I was using with exposed mods ok). Just push the file below (framework-res.apk) to the system/framework directory, set permission, wipe dalvik & cache then reboot. You might want to rename your old one first just in case you have a problem or want to go back.

Did you set the permissions correct? I just usually check other files in the same location and make them the same.
