4 Lockscreens for SGS tried but failed

Hi,
I kno I've posted this in Q&A but maybe there is one super developer who can help the community getting there 4 lockscreens?!
Currently there only exist two types of lockscreen for the sgs i9000. AOSP or samsung glass.
For the Vibrant on the other hand, some people (untermensch ) have managed to get 4 lockscreen types:
AOSP lockscreen
Glass lockscreen
Puzzle lockscreen
Epic lockscreen
More info in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838260
It must definitly be possible to port this to a froyo rom on our SGS but it has taken me a lot of time allready and have not progressed one bit.
Frustrating indeed.
I managed to decompile the android.policy.jar using the command: java -jar baksmali.jar -x android.policy.jar -o android.policy
I added the epic classes from the source zip file in the earlier mentioned post.
I recompiled ((java -jar smali.jar android.policy -o classes.dex) it again and at least no errors at this stage.
Next I tried to decompile the framework-res.apk.
Got errors from apktool, saying that it can't decompile a nine patch image. The nine patch image does not contain a nine patch chunk (so not really a nine patch but png with .0.png extension?)
Tried a lot of things, options, google, this forum but failed to find a solution.
The same thing with the Settings.apk, same kind of error, no solution.
I must be doing something wrong here and have come to a point that I cant figure it out anymore.
I believe that a lot of people would be interested in this kind of thing and this is something achievable.
If somebody could take a shot at this modification please, it would be so awesome to have this for Darkys rom or Docrom v9.
ps.i do remember that some id's of resources need to change cause there are some duplicates somewhere but don't remember which one where.

The source codes that untenmensch provided contain all the information. Though haven't tried it, but it is comprehensive enough.
Try using apk manager to decompile the framework-res.apk, and you use baksmali and smali for the settings apk.
Use stock apk, instead of modded ones.

to decompile framework-res use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745189
I use it for my personal rom and works better.
apktool or apkmanager don't work better with samsung framework-res,because Samsung don't respect the standard image and there are a lot of errors that can you correct using draw9patch from SDK,but in this way must edit all pngs...and they are a lot.

doesnt really help as it still uses apktool. I tried to build the lockscreen mod for my ROM with it

just delete them.nothing will be happened

Decompiling Honeycomb apps

Hi,
Anyone know if this is at all possible? No apk program does it; not apkmanager, nothing. Surely there must be something in the SDK which will allow us to do this? Or will we be able to do this when Honeycomb's source is released?
Thanks,
redbullcat

Surely youre joking? Apkmanager doesnt decompile it... They just modify it.

I think that's what he means. I think he's asking if there are any apps that can decompile .apk files.
Well, no, not fully. For obvious reasons (decompiling paid apps and compiling your own version).
When the honeycomb source is released it might be possible, depending on how heavily it relies on the framework, i guess.

APK manager can decompile, of sorts...that's what I want for Honeycomb apps.
Thanks anyway!

I don't know if it's working on Honeycomb, but you can decompress the apk and use dex2jar to decompile it. After that u can use any java decompiler to have the source

Apk manager is dependent on apktool, which in turn is partially dependent on smali/baksmali.
So it all comes down to waiting for jf to update his sources

OK, thanks!

HC Theme for ICS: Protips?

I'm currently working on a Honeycomb theme for ICS. I really prefer HC's UI style but I still want the features of ICS. I'm running into some obstacles though.
I'm directly modifying SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. Is there a better way than this?
9-patch PNGs are giving me issues. I've figured out how to use draw9patch but I can't get the PNGs to compile properly. I need one for the notification clock panel but I can't figure out how the 9-patch should be because I can't decompile either.
I've searched for about 3 days but I can't find help on how to decomiple and then recompile ICS APKs with apktool. Does anyone have a good source?
Would anyone else be interested in this mod? I'll try to figure out how to make a CWM ZIP if there's demand.

Pm me , I can give you my work shop that I setup for Ics.
And there is a better draw 9 patch tool , but it is not free.
But I gotta tell you now, I can help but I won't hold your hand with every step.
Don't have the time and the time I got goes to the theme building for flexreaper.

[GUIDE] [MOD] Disable Ongoing IME Switcher Notification

Hello everyone my name is Jon Wesley Tranchida (Tran-Chee-Da) is how my last name sounds. Today I will be showing you this very simple mod that you all can implement into your current running rom. This guide and mod should work for all Tab 3 models but I have only tested it on the SM-T210R Model. Please see the requirements below in order for you to fully understand how to make this mod work!
What is this mod?
This mod will allow you to remove that annoying ongoing Keyboard (IME Switcher) notification from your notication panel. For example when you try to type an email this annoying notification pops up in your notification panel and it can get annoying. Here I will show you how to disable this annoying problem!
Requirements:
You need Java JDK 7 or later and you must have some sort of android program that recompiles and decompiles apk files. For example I use Ticklemyandroid. You will need also Notepad++ so you can edit text files. You also must have some knowledge of decompiling and recompiling apk files. You will also need to have and be on a deodexed ROM!
Okay let's get started!
1. First decompile your framework-res.apk
2. You should have all your decompiled files into a working folder, you will need to go to res/values-sw600dp and open up bools.xml with notepad++
3. Here is the code we will need to change. Look closely at the before code and after code. You will need to change the true to false
Before:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]<bool name="show_ongoing_ime_switcher">true</bool>[/COLOR]
Now change to false as shown below
After:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]<bool name="show_ongoing_ime_switcher">false</bool>[/COLOR]
4. Save text file and then recompile framework-res.apk
5. Now copy it to your tablets root system/framework folder and enjoy
6. That's it wasn't that easy?
Hope you all enjoy what I found!

Some time ago there was a better and more noob friendly method invented, called Xposed Framework it makes everything easier and if you've got Wanam MOD it makes your ROM much more customizable

Yes you are right mate
But I like mods like these better because you do not need xposed framework and it makes things a lot better for some people
Also wanam xposed really isn't supposed to be used on this tablet as it's only been tested on the Sammy GS3 and GS4. You could potentially just soft brick your tablet for no reason at all

But Xposed is next framework in system and it's almost impossible to brick Tab 3 and there's a zip that deletes framework so it's safe at least for me
