Does anyone know the method needed to remove the "Sprint" from the lockscreen on rooted stock? I'm assuming it requires Framework-Res edits but I'm honestly not sure and would rather ask to see if there is a simple solution before I go apk editing.
Thanks!

Hey all I have a few questions.
First off can I remove the dialog that asks me if I am sure I want to shutdown and is there anyway I can have a reboot/restart option?
Im not new to this sort of modding but where would be a good place to start and do I need to do anything to the ODEX file or will that regenerate?
How would I go about modifying the contents of the APK file? I have extracted it, is there anything I should be aware of? What would be the best way of modifying these files?
FYI Im modding an LG GW620
hello guys,
i've been trying to mod my widgetlocker in order to change my lockscreen slider but I don't quite understand what I must do. the thread's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825553. I tried the root explorer method but the files couldn't be copied to the apk. as for the other methods, it contains strange terms that I don't get like "s-off" and "sdk directory." so, if someone could provide me a simple way to mod widgetlocker in hd2, i'll be very happy. thanks.

Hi guys.
I am trying to tweak my phone by my self and was wondering about how to do it.
What I want to do is change the battery icon in the notification bar to show percentages. I know there's already a flashable mod available, but I wanted to use my own icons and to learn how to do the mods my self so that I can modify the phone more to my tastes my self. (You know, since I do own a nexus phone now) (Also, I completely agree with what efrant said in his post about knowing about how to do things yourself, not only how to use 1-click tools and ask people "Help!! I bricked my phone!!" without knowing what I did wrong..)
I used to own a galaxy s and had changed the battery icon there by modifying the framework-res.apk file, but when I downloaded the existing battery percentage mod, I found that the modder actually changed the SystemUI.apk file, so I'm kinda stumped.
The process I used to modify the galaxy s was:
- Uncompile the framework-res.apk using apkmanager
- Edit the /res/drawable/stat_sys_battery.xml and /res/drawable/stat_sys_battery_charge.xml files
- Put the new icons into /res/drawable-hdpi
- Recompile the apk to unsignedframework-res.apk
- Open both the original framework-res.apk and unsignedframework-res.apk and move the edited files and icons from framework-res.apk to unsignedframework-res.apk
- Copy /resources.arsc from unsignedframework-res.apk to framework-res.apk
- Done.
So to summarize, my question is: Is the process I used okay for the Nexus 4? If there are any differences what are they and what do I have to do.
Of course, I would be grateful if I could get a detailed guide to modifying the phone, since I'm kind of a noob when it comes to doing my own modifications.
bef0re y0u d0 that, can y0u share y0ur framework-res and SystemUI?? I want t0 m0d my htc desire....

Sounds like it should still work. The only difference is the nexus uses xhdpi images, but the hdpi will still work as well.

Hi. I'm pretty new to modding APKs so I'm looking for some guidance.
I've followed tutorials to unpack APKs and start modifying them, but am having trouble even unpacking the classes.dex file, let alone finding the correct file to mod. Assuming I can get past the first step, can anyone point me in teh right direction for this specific mod?
Some background: I'm trying to mod the Nova Launcher APK to remove the long-press option to unlock a locked desktop. The reason for this is that I'm creating a fairly locked down tablet for education purposes, and need a way to remove this option.
Has anyone had experience removing functions like this in this apk or others? Any direction you could give would be awesome. :highfive:
Anyone have any suggestions with something like this? Also, if this isn't the correct place to post, please let me know! Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Hello i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me enable spell checker on the s5. (not autocorrect or predictive text on the keyboard).
I know other people have been able to do it on previous versions of the galaxy and also on the note, By editing Secsettings.apk & framework2.jar, such as in this following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34856343
Now i am not sure if it would be as simple as this, but i am sure someone on here would be able to enable the spell checker on our s5. If this is all it involves i am able to compile and decompile these two things and edit them myself, but i am pretty sure these files have changed due to the new 4.4.2 touchwiz on the s5.
If it was possible to create a flashable zip file that would edit the certain files or apps needed, that would be helpful and lot easier for a lot of people out there. But i am not sure if that's possible.
I am sure im not the only out there that would like this feature on our new s5, so you would be helping a few of us out.
anyone that would be able to give me some insight or would be able to do this, it would be much appreciated. cheers.
[SOLVED]
With this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543967&page=4 and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719 I modified framework2.jar (in system/framework folder)
SecSettings.apk is in system/priv-app for S5.
Do not forget to set the correct permissions of files after copy in system memory.
Menu was enabled, but no RED UNDERLINE appear for errors (with google keyboard installed and all options checked).
The Mod is in this way useless!
It fully run only in ART runtime. (Why??)
