ok
Guyz and devs Good day to all..
I was going throught the files in systemui's layout folder
There we have files like status_bar.xml and another as gemini_status_bar.xml
I want to know what is the dfference between the two files
Also someone ported serajr power toggles for our device and i found tht he did modification to the gemini file and not the other one......
The guides we see generally require changing the other one and not the gemini one...can someone plxx tell me the difference between the two?

Gemini_status_bar.xml in layout folder is for us xperia c users because we have dual sim icons and they are colored...
soo basically gemini is for colored dual sim icons./.....that's why U have to make changes in gemini statusbar..
Whereas normal status_bar.cml is for single sim phones

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:
http://android.modaco.com/content-p...your-homescreen-usable-and-eye-candy/page/40/
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.
This thread is about my soon to come app called RootSuite.
What does this app do:
* It allows you to modify and optimize your phone/ROM without having to learn
how to use adb, shell scripts and programs.
Just choose whatever app you want to optimize, remove or
what extensions you want on your phone.
Just click your setup together... on your phone.
* It allows ROM developers to make a preset of scripts (clicked together or written
in RootSuite's own, easy scripting language) and let users choose whatever
modification they want.
ROM developers could package different themes into their ROMs and let people choose whatever theme they want.
How does this work:
Since every phone and ROM is different, giving users shell scripts to modify their
ROMs in just one way may work for some people but not for others.
Odexing for example requires a variable called $BOOTCLASSPATH
to define which framework files have to be loaded and optimized.
But the framework files are different for most ROMs you can find, wether it be Sense or non-Sense ROMs.
RootSuite just takes the scripts you made, takes the right $BOOTCLASSPATH,
converts the script to a runnable shell script and runs it.
That way it allows you to optimize your phone with a script made for your phone.
Another example: If you want to move an app from one directory to another,
you could have some small problems because when installing the apps,
Android renames the .apk file stored on the phone and adds an "-1.apk", "-2.apk" etc.
to its file name. So it's hard to use one script with a hardcoded path.
RootSuite finds the right directory + file name according to the package name it
was given in the script and allows you to use and modify the specified app however you want.
If you have questions about the app or have got some ideas for functions I should add, just post it in this thread.
And also, if you want to help me, please show some love and donate.
As I'm just an 18 year old student (and I'm writing this app in my spare time)
a donation would be a nice present. The donate button is in my signature.

Why not use DSIXDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
and APK Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701 ?
No more forks are needed, only do better the existing solutions.
RootSuite is something very different.
My app basically allows modifications directly on the phone.
Why have to use a PC for some small changes a phone could handle itself too?
It also allows ROM devs to make some kind of settings app for closed source ROMs.
It really is something thousands of "noobs" could make use of too.
Think about it.
Yes please. Bring this on :d
great work..I wonder it...good job

THREAD CLOSED on behalf of OP!
I see all themes ive wanted required "deodexed", but yet I cant find any information on how to "deodexed" lease.link.me.to.solution:
Thanks
allow me to assist you in your search:
http://tinyurl.com/27q5ml8
...wise guy huh
"De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. "
I understand this aspect...but is there like a guide for (apparently) noobs? As that is what I can seem to find....
perhaps you should read a little in the dev forum??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162764
found it all the way on page 3...and i also found it by.... GOOGLING: deodex atrix
i also found it using the XDA SEARCH feature...remarkable thing it is: deodex atrix
sorry if you find these responses sarcastic, but for pete's sake...i had to do a SEARCH to find it....and find it I did. i cant imagine your search would be that different.
also, this should have been posted in Q&A, and any custom rom you are on is probably ALREADY deodexed...as its basically a standard that everyone does when building a rom.......
...must be my browser results thats failing No worries man, I reply the same way on other msg.brds that I have been on for since 2002 (other topics apparently LOL). Thanks alot.
As I have seen in many custom roms! In the framework folder like in hyperion has hyperion-res.apk.... What are the uses of keeping this file and How to use them... I am developing a rom thats why I am asking these questions... Like in a Lockscreen mod or a Statusbar mod its provided with the hyperion-res.apk but why... How does a rom simply usethat ap? Pls. someone pls. Guide me through this stuff so that I can improve my rom!
My main question is where are these resource apk's defined? Like isit namedin the framework-res.apk or twframework-res.apk? Pls. This Answer shouldbe withtechnosavie, Ganesh A, yash989, CarlDeanCatabay or someone else who knows this stuff And if like someone made a status bar mod for hyperion it contains hyperion-res.apk if I rename it to "rom-res.apk" Will it work? Pls. Provide me an answer!

rom-res file is the toggle file.Whenever you change the the rom-res,you just replace the toggles file with a new one.

They are used to store res files like icons drawables etc for the rom's toolbox were you customize the rom...
They basically have the lockscreen and quick toggle data.. resources nd layouts
depends on what it is declared,
i can make a lozer.apk and it is a interface pack for the whole android system,
depends on how it is declared in the xmls

You rename apps you need to edit smali files. I also didnt know how to rename my launcher but i searched a lot. To change color you need to edit xml files in res/layout or res/values.

Press Thanx if I helped u...!!
2. The App Name is defined in the strings.xml in the res folder... But usually I get errors while compiling it back.. I dont know if this works for you
I dont know the rest... D-3V!L already gave you the tutorial about Rom name and dev name thingy
Changing text color http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151075
-respect older people-
To rename apps open androidmanifest . You might find something like 'android:label="@string/app_name" if u see some thing like this search for "app_name" (in this case ) and you will find the name of app in the strings.xml
if i hav accidently helped u, u can press that button,
colors are located in colors folder,
specifically
primary_text_****.xml
secondary_text_****.xml
etc. etc.
declared as hex codes,
please research the proper hex codes for your desired color,
and compile the apk properly to get best results,
preferably you could replace classes.dex with the previous unedited apk incase it does not install
