1) Is it possible to "tweak" our framework-res.apk with this battery mod.
2) Can I use this method to "tweak my framework-res.apk : http://circle.glx.nl/
3) When I download my new framework-res.apk, how to boot on recover mode on the phone to put the framework-res.apk on the system ?
4) Do you know an other easylier method to tweak icons on the HD2 under android ?

Ok I think I'll answer this, but bear with me as it's NOT easy or for the faint of heart. If you read this and you DO NOT feel comfortable I would recommend you not giving this a go.
Before you start ANY of these steps below, MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE REPLACING THEM. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED FOLLOWING THESE STEPS! You have been warned.
1) Visit the website above and run through the steps to get the battery images you want. For the purposes of this tutorial/howto I am not covering how to change anything else (KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid).
2) The easiest ones to change are the Version A-I ones, just choose which battery set would work best for you on your phone and click "Next"
3) Choose "Do not include icons" and click next. The icons it is talking about here are the signal, wifi, usb etc notification bar icons and as I mentioned I will not cover how to change those here.
4) Leave "Do not change notification status bar" selected and click next. Again I'm not covering that here.
5) You can choose a different boot anim if you want, they are very easy to upload to your phone and you can figure out where they have to be put yourself with no problems. IMPORTANT: If you do change the boot animation, make sure you choose the correct type of rom you have from the dropdown selection.
6) Upload your existing framework-res.apk (using something like DroidExplorer, navigate to /system/framework and paste it onto your desktop, then upload here). This will update the relevant files in your framework-res.apk automatically. (If you cannot obtain your existing framework-res.apk I cannot guarantee method 2 will work, sorry but feel free to try)
7) Replace your framework-res.apk (via DroidExplorer or your chosen ADB browser) on your phone and reboot. Voila!
This worked for me on shubcraft 2.0 drop mode but obviously I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone. Please remember my warnings above that this is not guranteed.
hello, thanks for your quick help, but it doesn't work for hyperdroid rom V1.7
any idea ?

there is another far more complicated way around it, but it really does take about half an hour to work out.
Basically, you need to get your framework-res.apk and extract it with winrar or something similar (an apk is basically just a zip file) and find the folder called res/drawable-HDPI. this is where all the icons for things like your battery icons live.
Copy and paste the new icons from someone elses framework-res or even one you download from the website above into this folder and replace the drawable-HDPI folder into your framework-res.apk, replace it onto your phone and reboot.
Again, this is a quick description of a much lengthier way of doing it but it does work. Also, my disclaimer in the post I made before still stands, do this AT YOUR OWN RISK and do NOT complain to me if something breaks. If you don't fully understand, don't do anything.
I tried the kitchen method, but I receive a huge error log after uploading the framework apk
is the page currently partly down?

It doesn't seem to work all that well with frameworks from our current modded builds. I've tried it with a rooted desire framework (from my gf's desire) and that worked. Evidently all the work that the devs do on our hd2's make them very different to other android builds. the second method I posted (adding the png's to your existing framework) works perfectly.

This method will not work with the battery icons which shows all 100% increments. This method will only work for the standard battery icons, which only involves like 12 battery icons.
In order to add the 1% increment readings in the battery, it involves modifying xml files to read and associate the correct battery icons at each increment.
can you give a tut how to add the version a manually?
nvm, I got it!
I saw this thread and it made me gain interest in this again. I know many do not like three ringtone volume increasing.
If this is possible on the international version, we should be able to do the same right?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759537
This would be great i hate that volume increase in ringtones. Any dev plz port this for Vibrant.
The meat of it
The meat of what they are doing appears to be in >> THIS << post, which I will quote below. If any developer that knows what they are doing wants to attempt this for the Vibrant the quoted post should give them an quick idea of its feasibility. If it looks like it is doable there is more info in the original I9000 thread that is linked in the OP.

Hello,
I've just found a (not easy) way to disable increasing ring.
This involves using Apk Manager to backsmali Phone.apk,
which then have to be replaced by patched version, either by root access or creation of update.zip.
Procedure:
1. Get your Phone.apk (\system\app\Phone.apk) and copy it to computer.
2. Use Apk Manager to decompile it.
3. Open folder with Phone source (<Apk Manager folder>\projects\Phone.apk\smali\com\android\phone).
4. Open file Ringer$1.smali with your favourite text editor.
5. Find line that reads:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v1, v5, v4, v3}, Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V
6. Delete this line, save the file.
7. Compile Phone.apk, put it back to phone.
8. Enjoy constant-volume ringtones.
Side effects:
- currently not known
- if you have problem decompiling Phone.apk, >here< is the solution
Maybe somebody will make pre-patched packages, I'm currently using JM5
so I can only provide one for this firmware.

I will work on this tomorrow after I get off work unless someone beats me to it. This ringer volume issue has been bothering me a lot with this phone.
That would be amazing man. It would have to be incorporated into every rom (as an option)!
This thread should be en dev section.
pretty sure that is where I posted this initially..... must have been a mod moving it.
OK so this fix rrequires that use the .apk's from a deodexed rom which I don't have on hand so I will down download a few and edit the .apk's. Gonna take a bit more time than previously thought but I will get it done soon.

Thank you for this. Please log your work. With a good writeup and good understanding of what is going on it would be nice to see devs put this in as a option on all the deodexed ROMs.
Some good news and some bad for now. I have successfully decompiled and recompile the APK as told but no luck so far in fixing the ringtone. Ran into a similar issue that the i9000 users were with each build being different. I am testing on JL4 first with other builds to follow once I am successful. In my Phone.apk I found two lines similar to the line mentioned in the OP for the i9000 but removing either one or both has has no effect for me so I am digging deeper and trying test builds. Java isn't exactly my thing so if anyone with java know how would like to look at the decompiled script I can forward it to them.
EDIT: added the file for peer review just remove the .txt and open with any text editor.
After reading this last night, seemed easy enough, I was determined to try this. Dl'd the apkmanager, extracted my phone.apk, and began playing. Apparently, this is listed in the About/Tips/Debug (menu selection 23) inside of apk manager, you cannot decompile themed apk's, which is exactly what i was trying to do with my Ginger Clone phone.apk. Oh well, back to the drawing board, or at least something with a stock phone.apk i can play around with. Anyone have one, unthemed, from froyo (preferrably jl4 as thats the basis for the current rom I'm running) they want to post?

Epic Fail. I successfully decompiled, edited, and recompiled the APK. The exact line in the script that was linked instructions from T313C0mun1s7 was removed, script file saved, apk recompiled properly, and pushed to the phone. Rebooted phone, the stock jl4 i just edited actually works and doesn't fc on Ginger Clone R2 Final, but the ascending ringtone is still there. I'll post the edited apk if anyone is interested, but it seems to not work. I see, more research in my near future.
Edited - spoke too soon, fc's on outbound calls. Gonna try again granted I have the time this morning, if not, I might have to wait until I get back in town after the holidays to play around with this.
Edit 2 - No more fc's on outbound calls with the newly edited phone.apk, but also, still having the ascending ringer. I removed both lines in the script that echoed the linked post on page 1, tried with removing one or the other first, then both, and still the ascending ringer persists through all attempts. Hrm.
I see you ran into the exact same problems I did using JL4 stock. I am on JL5 now so I am going to test a few things on this build now in the hopes I can fix this.

First of all I have no idea what I am doing. Second I am not sure of all the issues you guys are having. I am just trying to think outside the box. I found this not sure if it applies or not.
apks can be re-edited a few different ways. The easiest example is by replacing the individual files within the apk by dragging and dropping the files in a program such as 7zip or winrar. In this manner the signature of the apk isnt broken. If you must unpack the apk file then when you pack it back up you must resign the app to have in install successfully. Do a google search for Stericson's apk sign application (its over on xda forums). I usually prefer the first way, but have also done the second method and it works as well.
yetis - yeah, same place you were getting stuck. let me know what your results are for the jl5 attempt. i tried with both the jl4 stock and ginger clone apk's this morning, all with the same results.
nomad - thx for the heads up, i am admittedly a novice in the android world, but have been in IT for years and am a self professed computer geek. With the apkmanager posted earlier in this thread, it will do all of the uncompiling and decompiling for you, as well as signing and a ton of other things written into the script, all based on user choices. it does warn about signing system apps after recompile, unless you want to resign all of the other system apps. Never had a problem with the installing of the modded phone.apk, just push it to the system/app folder and reboot, and the last one i did worked flawlessly without and fc's, but did not fix the problem of the ascending ringer.
Yetis, I was over reading through the thread on this in the i9000 forums, and I dug up some information that might help us here. I'm away from my pc so can't verify any of this right now.
-Make sure the rom is deodexed.
-Delete the line that matches what was posted earlier, I think it was the first one in that script, not the one way down at the bottom, leave that one be.
-When recompiling, set the compression in apk manager to 0 (not sure how to do that without the program in front of me)
When you go to push the file, put your phone in airplane mode first, push, then reboot.
Let me know if any of this helps, good luck.

Hi to all...
after seraching and reading a looong time now, i am stucked, the only thing i found was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033366
But i own a A500 not a Xoom... so what to do?
Wishlist:
- White Home/Backbuttons (have some, from Dexters Rom)
- white clock
- white Wifi/Battery Icon (at least not this &%$(/& stock blue)
dreaming:
when you scroll through your homescreens, a blue frame appears, how can i change those color into black? would be awesome, let it completly disappear, so transparent maybe?
I know many of you like the Blue Theme from honeycomb, but... i really hat it!!!
So, if anyone could help me... please feel free.
I am using Dexters Iconia P2-2, and dont want to use another. So maybe someone can post a modified systemui.apk ?
I have no idea if such a apk is always compatible to all ROMs from 3.1, so i dont want to test the Xoom one, and in this apk are things i dont want to have (like green google search bar, green glow and so on) modding,opening apk files by myself... i think its easier for me went back in time and kill hitler...
I wonder why there is no real theme mod around here for the Acer A500.
Hope some knowing guys can help, or want the same... let's see
Thank you anyway

thats easy....I can tell you how to do it yourself..
NOTE: an apk is just a zip file, do not decompress these, rather double click them and open them in winrar and you can see the contents.
Download the xoom theme, and there is a folder called "System App" this has the apk you want to play with. inside each apk there is a file called "res" inside this there are a few folders, the ones you are interested in are any named "drawable..." this is where all of the graphics are held.
then open the zip the rom comes in, i.e double click and winrar will open, go to system\app and find the same apk that are contained in the theme, then it is a process of swapping the files from one to the other.
when you are finished making changes, copy your edited apk back into your rom and flash it without wiping data, because it is the same rom nothing will happen apart from th4e new apk will be installed!!
Hope that helps...

yeah, this is what I love about android, you can take someone elses rom, skin the apk to your liking, even add missing applications you use regularly and just flash.
as long as you dont decompress, the signature usually stays intact.
if you need further assistance, pm me
edit : most imagery is in the drawable-mdpi folder
I just skinned the systemui.apk is 10 minutes just so you have an idea of how easy this is!!!!
Good day, all!
I've been working on [my first] ROM for Verizon S5 and everything seems to be going great! I've cleaned out as much Samsung/Verizon/Google trash as I can, applied some tweaks to build.prop, changed some default apps to (IMHO) better replacements, and anything that is left (functions correctly) has been moved to /data/app so they can be Uninstalled fully (not just Turned Off). Just a few quick questions:
1) How can I "bake-in" app data? I have replaced the normal, crap launcher with Holo Launcher and cannot seem to get correct permissions when the ROM is installed thru SS. I believe the issue is permissions for /data/data/ get screwed up or not set correctly. I have looked and looked and tried to determine the correct permissions, but still no joy. I've tried to fix /data/data permissions in the updater-script, but it seems like each subfolder/file has different permissions making me think I'll have to go thru them one-by-one.
I have a work-around in place using a OneTimeInit script that does work, but it seems like that's not really the best approach?
2) Kind of ties into question number 1, I patched the framework-res.apk in to allow WiFiHotspot, but without being able to install the system settings data properly, there is not a "Quick Shortcut". Again, I've resolved the problem using the OneTimeInit to update Sqlite DBs after the system is up.
3) How do I de-odex the stock ROM? Using Android Kitchen doesn't seem to do it right. It works mostly but I still seem to get various FCs. I tend to believe that some things just cannot (should not) be De-Odex'd?
I've also discontinued Zip-Aligning because it sometimes produces errors on my ROM. Is it not advised to use Android Kitchen to do these tasks or is there some trick to getting it to work just right?
Bonus Question) I was going to share my ROM on XDA but it says I'm not allowed to post in Development. I assume because of my low post count. Any way I can get an over-ride or should I just make a few more posts and then do it?
Thanks again guys!
I appreciate all the help as always!

1: All I had to do was place apk in /system/app or /system/priv-app and thats it. Make sure when you add your apks you dont unzip the archive. basically use kitchen and build your base rom then simply open the archive and make your edits. I also used the updater script from beans base build and only edited the ui print.. Messing with the updater script i wouldnt recommend as it could be causing some of your issues.
2: If using beans base theres no reason for you to edit anything as the hotspot is already baked in.. you must have borked it.. If you are not using beans base then maybe you should copy his files for the native hotspot as its already done properly. I wouldnt mess with framework or settings apks unless you know what your doing. Id work on gettin the fcs n other issues sorted first as you might b doin too much too fast.. work on learning how to make your apks work first before making edits to framework n settings apks.
3: The kitchen is best to deodex and zipalign.. also these two things should not cause fcs or errors if done properly. zipalign should help more than anything.. i just like workin with deodex bcuz its easier and only one set of files instead of .apk and .odex for just bout everything..
Again, if you are not using beans bases id recommend to do so.. his bases are already deodexed have hotspot zipaligned read/write to ext sd etc.. so you wouldnt have to do all from scratch and have so many issues..

Thank you for the response!
It seems perhaps I didn't quite make clear what I've done versus what I'm trying to accomplish.
Firstly, I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm "having so many issues". Everything in my ROM is in perfectly fine working order. I just have these few quirks that I would like to address both so I can learn, and to make this and future projects better.
While I appreciate the recommendation to use bean's base, I have taken a look at his and there seems to be nothing in his which copies data into /data/data/com.whatever.package (or at least there's nothing in his zip in the /data/data folder -- not sure if his ROM has the toggle activated?)
I have the Apps working correctly in my ROM -- they just go in /data/apps, /system/app or /system/priv-app, respectively.
What I need, is to get /data/data/com.whatever.package/ copied With Correct Permissions when the ROM is installed; I do not want a second zip to update things after install, especially for a toggle and a couple shortcuts, seems silly.
For instance, when you boot your phone up with the default [stock] samsung launcher, it has a list of default apps and widgets on the first screen you see such as phone, messages, a clock widget, etc, etc. Since I've replaced the stock launcher with Holo Launcher HD and some other default apps have also been replaced, there's very few shortcuts on the main launcher screen.
** Holo Launcher does have a list of default apps it adds to your main page, but many of those have been removed in my rom.
The solution I've come up with basically waits for the system to boot up to the point that Holo Launcher actually creates the default (mostly blank) /data/data/com.mobint.hololauncher.hd/databases/launcher.db and then my script uses sqlite3 to update the DBs with a list of different shortcuts -- ones to apps that actually exist.
The Hotspot Toggle is the same way as above.. Hotspot works fine in my rom if you go through settings!
I just cannot add the notification panel pull-down toggle to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/database/settings.db until after the system boots up at least ONE time, and then update the DB to include WiFiHotspot in notification_panel_active_app_list and notification_panel_active_app_list_for_reset
As for the zipalign and deodexing, I will have to try those again now that I have a fairly stable rom.
****EDIT****
I think I figured it out. I can just use busybox to kill the systemui after I update the databases during the first boot. I also figured out how I can add the SetupWizard without it locking up on activation.
Thanks anyways, guys.
Look for my rom, coming soon!

If you flash your rom again, the edited framework-res.apk will get overwritten, so what's exactly the point of editing it?
And what does this change exactly do?

You decompress your rom and put that file on framework-res/res/xml with winRAR and you repack your rom again. That's all !

This is just plain wrong on so many levels...
1. Don't tinker with an .apk unless you decompiled it. With your way you will inevitable break zipalign, thus slowing everything down.
2. The power_profile.xml you provided is already pre-compiled. Why?
3. You flash the Rom again - This overwrites the changes you made before. Lee me guess, without going back to the original framework you device did not boot? That is because you not only broke zipalign, but also the .apk's signature. So the system refuses to install the vital framework.
I said it before in one of your threads. Be careful on what you upload here, as people usually trust xda and, excuse my language, rubbish like yours is of no use for anyone...
I hope you realize that by now.
So long...

2. The power_profile.xml you provided is already pre-compiled. Why?
3. You flash the Rom again - This overwrites the changes you made before. Lee me guess, without going back to the original framework you device did not boot? That is because you not only broke zipalign, but also the .apk's signature. So the system refuses to install the vital framework.
I said it before in one of your threads. Be careful on what you upload here, as people usually trust xda and, excuse my language, rubbish like yours is of no use for anyone...
I hope you realize that by now.
So long...

you can verify it by decompiling your new framework-res.apk and compare it with stock one.
just for sharing with people
if you don't like it so it's not for you and don't use it. it's simple

If you upload something that is wrong, than I think it is fair enough if I say something. It seems you find stuff on the internet and just upload it as 'new' here.
Anyway best of luck with your endeavors. I'm out...

who told you that ??? give me the link where you found my work !
i think you are a little bit paranoid. don't use anything from me or talk to the moderator or specialist, he can verify my files !
please leave this thread alone
if someone want to verify. see these two files and compare them

Ok I said I'm out, but you are pushing it...
Do you have any idea what the power_profile.xml actually does?
It provides consumption values to the framework, so that this may properly calculate the battery consumption. Changing values in there won't change anything else then the readings in the battery report or apps that call upon that data.
It will in no way affect the actual energy consumption, so I stand by what I said before.
You provide a not working thing, period!
If you don't believe me read more about it over
here...
Anyway that's it from me, good luck...

u're wrong. it works for me :good:
there are many errors when compiling roms from cyanogenmod and stock rom by sony and samsung and others. see my sound fix thread for example you will see the difference ! cyanogenmod didn't fix that sound problem yet !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/cm11-sound-fix-ultimate-t2861135
And as you can see on stock rom or cm11 give a high value (for radio, BT,GPS, screen-on or cpu idle) will drain battery fast !
compare the two files decompiled !
So what is about with this mod? What are the benefits of using this? Can someone confirm working this? I read this discusion and i dont know its safe or i brick my device?
it really works for me. i never upload that never works or never tested. i got a great battery life after found this solution : two days with heavy usage. believe it or not ! make a backup and test. better you decompile and modify the values like uploaded here. :good:
ok so can you adviced me what i need to do?
im using stsock kk russian second edition 108.
what i need to change or is any option to create flashable zip file to instal it via recovery or i need to push it manually? why i need to flash new firmware after this operation? after flashing i understand that all of my data will erased with all settings and all my file will be cleaned ? i dont udnerstand why it wouldnt works after flashing? maybe you could post some instructions step by step to clean up everything im a little bit scared that i can brick my phone or something.
cheers
I see that it was mentioned before, but it seems it went unheard.
This mod will not work because of the simple reason that the second step overwrites the change!
Flashing the ROM again will remove the modified framework-res.apk file.
You can try and see for yourself. after doing the steps, unpack the apk again and see which power_profiles.xml is there.
I'm pretty sure you'll find the default one.
Also, the file has nothing to do with actual power consumption, as is mentioned in the Android documentation.
I hate to say it but the battery improvement you noticed is just a placebo
If you really want us to believe it works, then at least show us what you got. A screenshot of battery usage and screen time are a good proof

I think he means open the ZIP of your Rom on PC, put that file in and then put the Rom to phone again and flash it over your current Rom.
And yes, a proof would be good
Is there any way to fix/improve battery life on CM11? Z1C with the same usage on stock rom gets over 2.5x longer battery life.

- Unzip and copy this file (power_profile.xml) with winRAR to your current framework-res.apk (res/xml)
- Flash your rom again
- wipe cache and dalvik
(decompiling and recompiling not needed !)

Well, I replaced in the archive file, but how to pack in the APK?
P.S Understood with the help of Root Explorer

you got a bad or an oudated apktool. i don't have any error after decompiling. try it by yourself !
it's not a placebo. it's my work

sorry but you must have some basic knowledge on decompiling to make the change. if you don't know what is decomiling/compiling, juste take the file and put it like in OP. thanx

Yes, but it was very simple) I just renamed the Root Explorer in zip archive, there has replaced the file, and then simply copied the zip on the apk, it works)
but how does it affect the battery, I still do not understand
