using apk manager i tried to decompile framework-res.apk to edit the above mentioned file. my goal was to remove the clock/date, and to make the background on the lockscreen transparent instead of just showing the home background image.
i followed all the guides and instructions for how to remove and replace a framework apk, and edit and recompile it with apk manager. here is what i changed.
i removed this line:
Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.DigitalClock android:id="@id/time" android:paddingBottom="8.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="20.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="15.0dip" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceMedium" android:textSize="56.0sp" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/timeDisplay" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="6.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:shadowColor="#c0000000" android:shadowDx="0.0" android:shadowDy="0.0" android:shadowRadius="3.0" />
<TextView android:textAppearance="?textAppearanceMedium" android:textSize="18.0sp" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/am_pm" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip" android:singleLine="true" android:shadowColor="#c0000000" android:shadowDx="0.0" android:shadowDy="0.0" android:shadowRadius="3.0" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/timeDisplay" android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/timeDisplay" />
</com.android.internal.widget.DigitalClock>
and edited this:
Code:
android:background="#70000000"
to:
Code:
android:background="#00000000"
(my understanding is that the first two characters are alpha, and "00" would be transparent.)
after all was edited, recompiled, pushed back to the proper place on the phone, i rebooted the phone.. and it was stuck in a boot loop. the bootanimation would hardly even start before it froze for a few moments and restarted.
i followed all the directions exactly.. i am pretty sure.. i had no errors.. what might have went wrong?
Did you resign the apk before pushing it to your phone?
Yes but the signed apk was named "signedframework-res.apk", so I renamed it.. would that have unsigned it again?

That shouldn't have unsigned it, I've renamed apks and zips with no problem
Framework-res.apk is a system resource. Signing it will corrupt the apk. Recompile and push it back unsigned...

yea no need to resign it
oh btw bro have u ?
If I haven't apologized for this post yet, I'll have to later, I'm sure...
Yeah, there's no need to sign a framework-res.apk file. It seems like you would need to, but no. Good luck and happy editing!

Tired Storeman's Tutorials
Hello, and welcome to my Tutorials thread for JB 4.1.2 Roms
Here i will post tutorials that i think some people might find useful.
I would like to start off by thanking a few people who have given me
some great advice and help along the way.
@Goldieking
@Spannaa
@bombaybadboy
@churapa
@Many40
@_Sale_
And everyone else who has helped me along my XDA journey.
I am using XWLSW NeatROM Lite v4.8 with Blue Ginger Plus theme with 23 toggles whilst making these tutorials.
A big thankyou to @_Sale_ for his great rom,
and @Spannaa for his great theme.
These tutorials assume you know how to decompile/compile apks and push them to your phone.
Please make a backup before you start, just in case.
MY TUTORIALS​
Single Line Notification Date Post #2
Remove Carrier Label Post #5
Centered Settings Headers Post #13
Single Line Notification Date
Single Line Notification Date
Most JB roms display there notification date on 2 lines with fairly small text, making them rather hard to read.
This tutorial will show you how to change the notification date to a single line, change the date format, and increase the font size.
Changing the date to a single line.
Step 1. Decompile SystemUI.apk and open SystemUI/res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml.
Step 2. find the line begining with
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView.....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On the end of this line, there should be
android:maxLines="2"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
android:singleLine="false"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to change them to
android:maxLines="1"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or
android:singleLine="true"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3. Save tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml.
Step 4. Open SystemUI/res/values/strings.xml
and find the following lines
<string name="status_bar_date_formatter">%1$s
%2$s</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to make a single line out of both lines
So you end up with this
<string name="status_bar_date_formatter">%1$s %2$s</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 5. Remove the %1$s so you end up with
<string name="status_bar_date_formatter">"%2$s"</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 6. Save string.xml
Step 7. Compile SystemUI.apk
Step 8. Copy and paste META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file from original SystemUi.apk
to newly compiled SystemUI.apk, replacing existing folder and file,
Step 9.Compile SystemUI.apk again
Step 10. Push SystemUi.apk to phone
Step 11. Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Step 12. Reboot
With a bit of luck, you should end up with something like this.
Change Notification Date Format
Please make a backup before you start, just in case
Which date format you have set on your phone,
will determine which line you need to edit to change the date format
I have this format set, so i will edit the appropriate line in strings.xml
Which is "Day Month Year"
The individual date formats that you can combine to change the overall date format are as follows
d......................Day Of Month Without Leading Zero, 7
dd....................Day Of Month With Leading Zero, 07
EEEE..............Day Of Week (Full) MONDAY
EEE.................Week Day (Short) MON
MMMM..........Month (Full) AUGUST
MMM..............Month (Short) AUG
yyyy................Year (Full) 2013
yy....................Year (Short) 13
Whilst you have your decompiled SystemUi.apk open, go to SystemUi/res/values/strings.xml
and find
<string name="quickpanel_day_month_year">d MMMM. yyyy</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now it is a matter of replacing
d MMMM. yyyy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in the above string with what ever combination you want your date to be.
Once you have finished editing
d MMMM. yyyy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save strings.xml.
If you want to change the size of the date text, open SystemUI/res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml
go to
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView...........
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There should be
android:textSize="22.0dip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If not insert it immediatly after
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to end up with
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date" android:textSize="22.0dip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Change
"22.0dip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To what ever size you want
Save tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml.
Compile SystemUI.apk
Copy and paste META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file from original SystemUi.apk
to newly compiled SystemUI.apk, replacing existing folder and file
Compile SystemUI .apk again
Push SystemUI.apk to phone
Set permissions to rw-r--r--
Reboot
The examples below use "22.0dip"
A few examples of different date formats

Remove Carrier Label
Make a backup of your SystemUI, just in case.
To remove the carrier label from the status bar close/drop down handle
it is simply a matter of changing the text color to transparent.
Step 1. Decompile SystemUI.
Step 2. Open tw_status_bar_expanded.xml.
Step 3. Towards the bottom you will find the following line.
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Network" android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@id/carrier_label" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/tw_close_handle_height" android:layout_marginBottom="10.0dip" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Add the following
android:textColor="#00000000"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Immediatly after
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Network"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So you end up with
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Network" android:textColor="#00000000"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4.Save tw_status_bar_expanded.xml.
Step 5. Recompile SystemUI.
Step 6. Copy and paste META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file from original SystemUi.apk
to newly compiled SystemUI.apk, replacing existing folder and file.
Step 7. Compile SystemUI apk again.
Step 8. Push SystemUI.apk to phone.
Step 9. Reboot.

If i had to have a guess, i would say it is probably because it is not a Samsung Galaxy s2 Rom.
My tutorials are generally for Samsung Galaxy s2 users, as that is the type of phone i have
sir
Oh I see. Is this excluive only for Samsung? I think Im on a wrong thread. Sorry sir. Newbie here.
Centered Settings Headers
PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU START
I made this tutorial for Alliance Rom users a few months back, but should work on any JB 4.1.2 rom.
Step 1. On your phone, in system/framework make a new folder and name it Frame.
Step 2. On your desktop make a new folder and name it Center,open it and leave open
Step 3. Obtain framework-res.apk from your phone, NOT FROM UNZIPED ROM ON YOU COMPUTER by ether pulling with adb or copy from system/framework with Root Explorer to your desktop
Step 4. Decompile framework-res.apk
Step 5. Open the decompiled framework-res folder
Step 6. Open the res folder
Step 7. Open the values folder
Step 8. Open the styles xml file with what ever you use to open xml files (I use Notepad++)
Step 9. Search for
Code:
<style name="Widget.DeviceDefault.TextView.ListSeparator" parent="@style/Widget.Holo.TextView.ListSeparator">
You need to edit the folowing
Code:
<style name="Widget.DeviceDefault.TextView.ListSeparator" parent="@style/Widget.Holo.TextView.ListSeparator">
<item name="textSize">17.0dip</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">#ffd2d2d2</item>
<item name="background">@drawable/tw_list_section_divider_holo_dark</item>
<item name="paddingLeft">16.0dip</item>
<item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
Your file might look slightly different, i have changed the text color.
Step 10. Add .
<item name="gravity">center</item>
After
<item name="textColor">#ffd2d2d2</item>
Ending up with
Code:
<style name="Widget.DeviceDefault.TextView.ListSeparator" parent="@style/Widget.Holo.TextView.ListSeparator">
<item name="textSize">17.0dip</item>
<item name="textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="textColor">#ffd2d2d2</item>
[COLOR=Red]<item name="gravity">center</item>[/COLOR]
<item name="background">@drawable/tw_list_section_divider_holo_dark</item>
<item name="paddingLeft">16.0dip</item>
<item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
</style>
Here you can also change the text color and size if you want,
You can also change the textStyle from normal to bold, if you want bold text
or change textAllCaps from false to true if you want All Capital text.
Step 11. Save changes.
Step 12. Compile framework-res.apk. (you should not recieve any errors)
Step 13. Open the folder where it was compiled to (in Apktool it is the build/apk folder).
and replace the META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml file from this folder with the META-INF folder and the AndroidManifest.xml file
from the original framework-res.apk, that you placed on your desktop.
Step 14. Compile framework-res.apk again. (again you should not recieve any errors)
You need to do the following steps to avoid bootloop
Step 15. Open the compiled framework-res.apk DO NOT UNZIP IT. (in Apktool.it is in the dist folder)
Drag the
assets
META-INF
res
AndroidManifest.xml
resources.arsc
folders and files into the previously opened Center folder which you created on your desktop.
Step 16. If it is not already opened, open the Center folder
Step 17. Highlight all of the folders and files in the Center folder and right click on them(if using windows) and click add to archive (i am using Winrar)
In the window that pops up for Archive Format use Zip
and compression method use Store
Change Archive name to framework-res.apk
and hit ok.
Step 18. Once framework-res.apk has been made, push to phone
Step 19. Set permissions to rw-r--r--
If phone bootloops, restore backup and try again
The above steps will have no effect on the ported S4 Tabbed Settings.
Screenshot 1 Centered text normal
Screenshot 2 Centered text bold
Screenshot 3 Centered text All Capitals

the tw_... files are for touchwiz roms, these mods should work on the same xml files but without tw_ (instead of tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml you need to mod status_bar_expanded_header.xml)
As i have updated to an S3, i will no longer be monitoring this thread, but i will leave it up for reference.

Hey all, thanks for looking. I'm rooted on the latest JB ota and every time I try to install KK it stops about halfway through and boots back up notifying me it failed. I don't have any custom ROM installed. In fact, I would prefer to return to complete stock and then do KK but I can't get find an answer as to whether I can fastboot with the latest JB ota. Thanks for any advice in advance.

You can flash a stock ROM through RSD or FastBoot on any version of xt907. Just turn it off, hold volume down and tap the power button and fastboot will appear. Flash using your favorite method. If you're locked, you can flash an update or the same version of your ROM, but you cannot downgrade.
I did that, and I still can't get the update to work.
root had my update failing too. i just did a restore with RSD and stock JB firmware. took the KK update fine after that.

did you modify the XML file? read this. you have extract the firmware contents. then modify the XML file. save it (as XML not TXT) and then use that file in RSD.

thank youu sooooo much!!!! MAN !! you saved me ok the mistake what i was doing was that i was editng the XML file and was puting it in the zip again i wasnt extracting it
let me clear for the folks who are doing mistakes just like me
download your sbf first
extract it in C (prefer C drive always for sbfing)
edit the xml file in the extracted folder
go to rsd lite and load the exact xml file that you extracted earlier (no need to zip it back!!)
and voila
special thanks to Chuck Solid made my concept clear
i used this XML its working like a charm

sounds like the 'motorola services' isn't running. try this: do a 'factory reset' inside 'settings'. when the phone restarts DO NOT set up your google account. agree to the motorola crap but SKIP google sign in. this will make sure nothing is loaded from the playstore. not even your contacts. skip over the verizon contact restore and accounts. then try the update again. that's what i did after RSD. give it a shot.

keep checking. my kid lost his update notification yesterday. he saw it at school but waited to download it till he got home and on wifi. when he got home it kept saying "no updates available" until about 9 o'clock last night. if you can't wait, these guys are playing with a download of the OTA:

Hey guys, thanks so much for your responses. I was just unaware that I could RSD, I felt like I read somewhere that once I took the latest JB ota I couldn't RSD at all. Thank you again, I'll report back my findings.

Hello All,
recently Im working on my own project to add characters to the LG G2 default phone dialer (I know I can download other dialers), i spilited this project in to two parts 1.source code handling 2.GUI handling
currently I am still working on the first part and I hope I will have some breakthrough soon.
now regarding the second part.
I used ADB in order to pull out the LGcontacts.apk file, after I opened it I found that all dialpad related png files are located under "res\drawable-xxhdpi" folder.
I went to the following XML files located in the following paths
1.res\layout-land
2.res\layout-ldpi
3.res\layout
and changed the following lines from this:
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/two" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_2_wht" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_two" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/three" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_3_wht" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_three" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
To this:
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/two" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_2_wht_il" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_two" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
<View android:layout_width="@dimen/dialer_dialpad_col_interval" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<com.android.contacts.dialpad.DialpadImageButton android:id="@id/three" android:background="@drawable/btn_dial" android:src="@drawable/dial_num_3_wht_il" android:contentDescription="@string/description_image_button_three" style="@style/DialtactsDialpadButtonStyle" />
After the changes done I saved the files rebuilt the APK using APK Studio and pushed the apk file to /system/priv-app using ADB.
after reboot to the device the APK was installed however after opening the APP i noticed that nothing has changed.
honestly i dont know why nothing was changed, does anyone know what did I do wrong?
Thank you for your help in advanced.
Hello everyone!
Ever noticed some of the emoji on your Android device displaying a black version of the emoji instead of the better colored one (for example the red heart or the peace emoji)?
I found a very simple fix, but it requires root and changing some xml files in your system partition.
So basically, find the fonts.xml file in the /system/etc/ directory and open it with a text editor.
Almost at the bottom of the file, you'll find a line which contains "NotoColorEmoji.ttf". This is the colored emoji font (as you might have guessed).
Notice how it is positioned below "NotoSansSymbols-Regular-Subsetted.ttf", this means that, when a symbol is rerquested, Android first checks the NotoSansSymbols font, and only if it is not found in there, it looks for it in the NotoColorEmoji font.
Guess where those ugly black versions of the emoji are stored... Yup, in the NotoSansSymbols font!
So, how do we make Android always use the colored emoji? Just cut
Code:
<family>
<font weight="400" style="normal">NotoColorEmoji.ttf</font>
</family>
and paste it above
Code:
<family>
<font weight="400" style="normal">NotoSansSymbols-Regular-Subsetted.ttf</font>
</family>
Pretty simple, right? You now have to do a very similar thing in the fallback_fonts.xml file in the same directory. I'm sure you guys can figure that one out on your own
And that's it! Reboot your phone, and no more black versions of emoji!
Enjoy!
Note: If someone could push this fix into CyanogenMod or make a flashable zip or make an app that does this, I would be very grateful, cause it's really annoying to have to do this after each ROM flash!
Hi!
I recently flash the Android N emojis onto my LG G3( fulmics 5.3)
When I had previously flashed this pack onto my stock LG Rom (5.0 Lollipop), all emojis were normal in appearance.
After I flashed fulmics and flashed this pack, I have been getting these black and white emojis for some of them( crossbones, writing hand, etc)
What should I do? When I go to edit fonts.xml I cant save my changes
Thanks LanderN, really good guide
some of the emoji which where black before are fine now, but I still have got some that are still black&white. I even tried to move the font entry up but it either didn't change a thing or resulted in bootloop. Anyone with the same problem or even a solution? I'm on latest CM for jactivelte.
Hello! This worked for me the first time I tried it, but as I was updating my emoji, the black and white emojis are back. I tried again this method but the NotoColorEmoji is still above the NotoSansSymbols-Regular-Subsetted. I tried everything, I tried using the backup and then tried this method again, no luck.

Wow dude, you really helped me a lot, Thanks?????
Okay, so I downloaded a file text editor and found what you were talking about, so let me get this straight.(I'm pretty dumb sorry) you want me to cut the code, "<family>
<font weight="400" style="normal">NotoColorEmoji.ttf</font>
</family>." As in delete that section of the code and then paste the replacement code, " <family>
<font weight="400" style="normal">NotoSansSymbols-Regular-Subsetted.ttf</font>
</family>?"
