Need help to add % on services.jar

guys , is there anyone who can help me and write a guide or point me to one on how to add the % overlay for the battery? Cant find what damn smali file to edit.

Piter1225 posted this on a MoDaCo thread:

In services.jar edit IconData.smali, StatusBarIcon.smali, StatusBarPolicy.smali
The best way is to find two services.jar from same ROM - one with, and one without percentage batt and compare them.
Good apps for comparing two files are in my opinion: ExamDiff for Windows and xxdiff for Linux

BTW, if you are making one for the latest FroYo leak, can you please share it?

thanks a lot. Apparently LSteam already did the editing of the services.jar so he saved me a lot of work. you should probably try pushing his services.jar. it might add the % overlay.

nevermind what i said. He went the easy way and did the changes on the framework. I guess ill have to do the whole editing thing.

Confused about 9.png files

Ok, first sorry for posting this question, and I did search and found that the information is some what broken up and it confused me. Sorry I'm not a developer so the lingo is way far advanced.
But this is what I've gathered and done.
-I took an app that I wanted to edit. I got the images and did my PS CS4 editing to my liking and saved them.
-I did the draw9patch and manage to save them in a folder and then I put the correct names on the pngs with the 9 still at the end of the file name.
-I got lost with step no.6 of one of the threads talks about "eclipse" and thats where I'm lost.
I don't know what the heck its talking about workspace. I don't know what to do from here. Can somebody please explain it to me in laymans term. thank you.

You need to load up the sdk, eclipse is part of that.

I have the SDK installed but do I go to the SDK Manager or to the tools? if I go to the tools which app do I open? this is where I'm stuck at

Did you try this?

@johnny quest: forget about that outdated method. Use apktool or ApkManager instead.

hey brut is there a video or post relating to the steps on editing .9.png's using apkmanager or apktool? ive been looking into the draw9patch thing but everything i run into is an old post and i guess thats what you saying here. i was a total noob and now ive got down using theme porter, update.zip maker for modding stuff but ive only taken the png plunge seeing that most people are saying you gota be a pro to edit .9's and xml and all that. im fully capable of getting it im just not finding the right tutorial and info. any direction would be much appreciated
also im trying to mod my phone dialer (attached) is that something a semi-new modder can handle. eg-changing the background from black to white...the orange numbers from orange to white? just a shot in the dark you know

[Q] Can I delete odexed framework-res.apk and replace it with deodexed framework-res?

I want to go back to stock odexed DI18 in order to use MobileAP.But I want to use my personal theme,can I just delete framework-res.apk and framework-res.odex and replace them with deodexed framework-res.apk?Or there is more to it?

umm I don't think its that simple I think there is a post in the themes and appear section that somehow puts your odex files into your apks... lemme look for it ill see if I can find it.

The odexing app doesnt work from what I read on there.

Without that script it can't be done. Some roms are having adn parasite with it you should be fine on the stock rom. But deleting the framework and adding stock files and odex, even if you did under system folder as well wouldn't work.

Modifying musicplayer.apk & other doubts regarding unpacking & packing apk!!

I like the option to change music from anywhere via notification but i hate the cheap default album art in it!! So I like to extract the apk remove those pictures!! Does removing those pictures alone will cause any problems?? If the answer is yes I ll replace those images with my own images!!
So now regarding extracting :
Does extracting by zip & repacking again with zip & changing name as .apk is enough or do I want to extract using apk extractor/manager found in this forum (forgot its name) & repack & sign it with the same??
Regarding .odex file :
I have a rough idea about odex & deodexed files!! Stock application is usually odexed!!
Now my doubt is what I have to do with the .Odex file near the music??
Help me out soon
Sorry for my bad English & unframed question!! Cz am posting via mobile!!

Don't ever remove stuff, depending on how they are loaded / how well coded the app is, it will most likely cause null pointers and so force close.
If you mod an apk, replace stuff but don't remove or rename.
P.S. you could deodex the app, to make your life simpler, but deodexing is no simple task for system apps if you are not familiar with the process.
Maybe the solution, if you want to mod, is to get a deodexed rom and mod away.

Frameworks are not applications. But yeah, Musicplayer.apk is an application apk.
As for the Odex file... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Odex+file

i need to replace default album art with this png's !! for 400x400 i need that thumb_00.png !! please help me !!
also please teach me how to modify/edit/customise/repack/sign apk's !!!

1) Reflash your current rom (look for stock roms topic in Original Android Development forum)
2) ALWAYS do a backup of your files before messing with them, especially when you don't know how to recover them -.-'
3) Asked like this, nobody will do that for you. Moreover, that's iTunes, and we, as loyal Android users, won't take any of these into our droids.
4) To modify/edit/repack/sign APK, there's Google for that. It has tons of resources if you only take a second to type in your search, and one other to look at the links.

Jeeeeeeeeeezzzz....
If you don't know what a .sh is, then you shouldn't be doing what you're trying to do.
P.S. you could deodex the app, to make your life simpler, but deodexing is no simple task for system apps if you are not familiar with the process.

As said in the first reply.
And yes, framework-res and twframeword-res.apk should be enough.

Your question is too vague - state exactly what you want to do if you want support from members
There is lots of things you can edit in framework-res and android.policy
Best to type into Google what you want to do and search for a guide
It looks from your pics you have just created a working folder in kitchen
You need to decompile the apk you want to edit with apktool then edit xmls smalis and pngs - again search for a guide for exactly what you want to do

i replace the framework, and the systemUI dont think how to edit all, im very noob

again too vague - you cant just say you want to replace the SystemUI - that is an entire apk - Unless you are just going to replace it with a SystemUI.apk from another rom but I would not recommend that as if you are going to release the rom you wouldn't have permission to do so plus the apk may have dependences of other apks and mods that you would also need to include
You need to know exactly what you want to mod
If you want to mod the SystemUI.apk you would need to decompile the apk with apktool and edit what you want - You will find guides to do this if you search google - You will find a guide to decompiling apks in my signature which has all my threads.
If you want to add lidroid toogles for example search for galaxy y xda how to add lidroid toggles in google
Same if you want to edit the framework to add extended power menu search for that
You cant just say I want to replace this and that apk
Also calling yourself a noob is no excuse - You have to learn how to use google and how to use the search feature to find what you want to do and then read everything - Once you have understood the basics and you know what you want to achieve only then if after trying you can post in the respective threads for any support relating to the thread
