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

Odex -> <- Problem / Confusion

I know the technical difference b/w ODex-ed and DeODex-ed
I have an odexed ROM
I simply want some applications (apks) from my Previous ROM, which was deodexed
When I PUT .apk files from My Previous ROMs ZIP to my Device's system/app - I get FC
When I restore apps like Go Launcher Ex, from Titanium Backup, I still get FC for that
Any Info...?
I want to use some apps from my Previous ROM
I want Rotary LockScreen
Also, a Professional Theme, Odexed
As I have seen that odexed ROM are so incredibly smooth in almost every aspect
(Not only 1st boot or initial days)
Help appreciated !!

the anserw is simle if your previous firmware was deodexed:
Youraplicationname.odex is missing

Deleting th old apk & dex file, bfore replacing, should work, then?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

you must either have all files in pairs apk + odex (thats odex)
or apk only (thats deodexed)
when looking at /system/framework/
that would be jar + odex (odex) or jar only (deodexed)

I am talking bout MyFiles.apk
I want new Samsung's MyFiles.apk
So I will delete old apk & dex files
Then put new apk file
Is tht wht u mean?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

if you now have aapk+odex
you have to copy new apk and odex

I'm pretty sure I tried this some time ago and found it will not work. The MyFiles.apk is strictly linked to the ROM you are using, something to do with the framework, so you cannot use one on another ROM version.
As for other apk's, if the file you want to use is deodexed, you simply delete the new apk and odex file and put the old one in its place although be warned, it may cause instability on your ROM if you do this with system apk files

ok whatever if you know better

Yup
Thanks
U got my doubt clear
I was not replacing MyFiles actually
Was just giving an example so that $omator thinks I understood
Also
The irony is most of th times, its th system apks tht have dex files
If its not a system apk, I wud rather download th latest 4m market

[Q]Is there any available sources for GT-S5360 SystemUI?

I dont know if there is sources for the apps of GT-S5360
I need is the sources for apps (SystemUI.apk)
If you have one please post it here
Thanks:victory:
I already looked at
http://opensource.samsung.com
I dont know if the sources of apps is also available there(I cant download at the server)

Decompile SystemUI.apk with apktool - it will give you all the smali files & xml files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206938

i don't understand what you mean,
systemui is literally reverse re-engineerable since it only affects a software point of view not hardware unlike framework,

I dont want to do major edits I just wanna edit the apk to hide it from launcher which is editing the manifest of app
Please help me

You haven't loaded the correct framework into apktool
Make sure you have at least jellybean framework-res.apk and load it into apktool using
If framework-res.apk
Here is cm10 framework

Try using a different apktool version - I would use 1.5.2 unless decompiling kitkat/lollipop apks
Apktool 1.5.2
https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list
Apktool rc4

instead of quote the whole OP have you checked the example.zip?

Do I need to deodex my entire system? I used TMA to make a Deodex .zip but I got a lot of Force Closes after that. I just want the Edge features and nothing more. (Besides root and basic CSC features enabled)

I have a deodexed base on my Sprint N5 but I'm having a problem on 2 different builds: I can't update the Music app, it just force closes so badly; the last time I tried to do a logcat I just had time to take some screenshots, can you help me? I used TMA for deodexing and doing all the mods. I tried with 925 and 928 files but the problem is the same. If the music app gets updated it will force close like every other second. Can you help me? I can send you the screenshots and files if neccesary.

Will there be any s8 edge lighting feature if i flash this?

so the purpose is to teach HOW to make it and by no means to provide a flashable mod.

So will i get the s8 edge lighting feature if i edit the files as instructed? Also by any chance,is there any way that i can do this without a computer?

@Androidwizzard The guide is very detailed, In fact I did it in a few minutes after deodexing my phone but I have a bug: I cannot update the music app because it will force close immediately after updating. Can you help me please? I already did a logcat so I have a log . I'm using SM-G928P files because my Note 5 is a Sprint model and I already did this in 3 different build numbers and every single time I have the same problem.
Thanks.

Solved! I kept the arm folder inside the framework folder, that was causing the issue. After deleting system/framework/arm the music app updated correctly.
