Here is a bit of why I wrote this manual:
Back at December 2010 Paul from modaco found how to enable sip over 3g for the gingerbread native client, his original thread is here:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/327770-using-gingerbread-internet-calling-sip-without-wifi/
For chefs it is probably straight forward how to use this tip, but for me I always begged for cookers to include this in their roms usually they didn't even replay to my request, so I investigated this, and here is very easy way to enable this feature.
This guide assumes you are a little familiar with changing files on your ROM.
*I take no responsibility for this guide, use it at your own risk
So, what we are doing is modifying the framework-res.apk from from our framework directory.
We need:
apktools from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Two files are needed, this: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool1.4.1.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
And this: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
(You can also do this for Linux and Mac, this guide will use windows)
Take the framework-res.apk from your ROMS zip file inside /system/framework directory.
How its done:
Extract both files that you downloaded to c:\apktools (can be any dir...)
You should have 3 files.
Copy the framework-res.apk to the same directory: c:\apktools
start --> run --> cmd
c:
cd \apktools
apktools d framework-res.apk temp
Now a folder named temp will appear named temp
inside temp, edit the file: C:\apktools\temp\res\values\bools.xml
I use notepad++, search for a line:
<bool name="config_sip_wifi_only">true</bool>th
change in the line the "true" into "false"
save the file.
go back to cmd
c:
cd \apktools
apktools b temp temp.apk
Now rename your original framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.zip
open it with winrar/winzip/7zip it will open like regular archive.
take the file that was created by the build process:
C:\apktools\temp\build\apk\resources.arsc
Use this file to replace the file inside the archive of framerwork-res.apk.zip (overwriting the original, inside the zip)
rename the file back to framework-res.apk
And now you have a sip over 3g enabled framework-res.apk.
There are few options to push this file, easiest is just replace it in your ROM zip and flush the ROM, you need to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
There are other ways to push this to your rom but I won't discuss them here.
I used this on stock roms, AOSP roms, MIUI roms and Sense roms, worked for me on all, if you find a roms it doesn't work on please report.
Thats it, its actually quite easy.
You are Awesome! Thank you for posting this. I just setup my phone with this and it works great.
Great Process, a few little remarks
Shalom,
This is a great process tutorial and within 15 minutes I flashed my HTC Sensation to support Internet calls on 3G/4G, while before it was WiFi ONLY.
So now, no need to have any cellular minutes purchased, have DATA have LIFE.
Remarks:
1. Have only 2 files. You mentioned 1 download and then 2 more. The 1st is duplicated withing the 2.
2. The BAT file is apktool.bat and not apktools.bat.
Other then that, SWEEET.
Toda Raba.
Easy

HI
tryed not working stoped at temp file cretion is showing an eror cant go further plz help
Does this change your phone to use 3g to make calls? If so that is excellent.
Sent from my Sabotaged Droid Incredible 2.
Thanks, but why don't we use SIP third-party such as Sipdroid, 3CXPhone...? I think they are easy to use.
Nice work , What about Xperia Lines, will there appear 3G video calling button ?
I tried on Wet Dreams 1.3.0 for Atrig 4G and didn't works (Didn't show SIP Calling option)... maybe my mistake or isn't working with Moto's 2.3.6 build. But I asked to be added by the chef! Thanks for this tip!
If SIP options are not present in your Settings.APK it may have been disabled by the carrier.
The solution is to place the proper permissions file into /system/etc/permissions/ which will enable SIP overall on your device, then of course to this fix as well.
Solution found in various other places, just thought I'd add it to this thread since the thread is linked from the homepage.
Nice, surprisingly easy, almost to much so lol

Thanx.
But it didnt work for me, and still not seeing sip settings.
I plased the attached file in system/etc/permissions, rebooted.
Also tried to fix permissions, and still didnt work.

Then the options probably just aren't there in your carrier's Rom. They were present in my LG Rom, after I pushed the permissions file. However, when I tried to use SIP, it would force close as soon as the call connected... something else missing.
In my case and yours, the answer is to use SipDroid from the market.
Pls any guide on how to do this in ICC ROMs
Hey Guys,
I am going to explain some of the files in a custom rom,the small and easy to mod files because the aim is to educate newbies and NOT advanced devs.
Ok,So,I have seen a lot of questions being asked nowadays about making custom roms.This guide is NOT about building a custom rom but about editing and modding it.I am doing this guide taking CM7 as base,not stock,so there might be differences between the roms you choose to mod.Also,I am prone to mistakes here and there.If i made any,please comment about it and i will remove it.Also,please feel free to give your suggestions about making this guide better
What you would need:
Notepad++
WinRar or any other zip/rar manager like 7zip or WinZip
If you want go advanced,you would also need these things
Cygwin
Smali/Baksmali
APK Multi tool or anything like that,i dont care
And most importantly,a brain and eyes(So,Dont ask me stupid questions like,how de fuk du i xtarct? and then in brackets,sorry for my english)
GUIDE:
So,first up,download a rom of your choice(Dont forget to get the permissions for modding from the developer) and extract it.When you extract it,you will see 2 folders and 1 file,it varies.It depends on the contents of the rom.
The folders are:
1.META-INF
2.system
The file:
1.boot.img
So,
Open up system and the first folder you are going to see is 'apps'.
As you already see,this is the place where all the apps go,for the history.You might also see some .odex files below the apps.So,if you remove an app,you should delete the odex file too.If you want to add an app,just drag and drop Take care not to delete each and every app you find,because each of them has their own functions.Also,if you delete contact.apk and replace it with a better dialer like Exdialer,you wont be able to add or delete contacts.So,there are some files better left alone.
If you want to know how to merge them,then use google,there are a lot of tutorials on deodexing.If you want to edit an app,then use APK multi tool,again please use google,lots of tuts on this one too.
Also,you will find an app here and its a main one,systemui.apk By editing systemui.apk,you can get transparent status bars,transparent notification bars,centre the clock.Things like that.The idea with which you edit Systemui.apk and framework-res.apk,thats how your rom is going to look like.These files handle the visual things and they are awesome too.For some systemui mods,refer HERE
Now,some apk files are lib-dependent,meaning,they need certain lib files to work,a few examples are,Swype keyboard,now,swype wouldnt work if this lib file is not included in the rom,libswypecore.so,so if you remove swype,remove this lib file also,because its just a wastage of space and it doesnt do anything.Another example is DSP Manager in Froyo,in GB,it works native,no need to add any applications,but in Froyo,if you add DSP Manager,there are a few lib files that you should add to get them to work.
Next,the 'bin' folder,this guide is aimed at the noobs,so nothing about this,this is a bit advanced stuff,so sorry.
Next up,the 'etc' folder.There are a lot of things that go here.I wont be going to full details for the moment because i am having exams,so no time.However,i will be explaining the easy to explain files.
One thing you will notice is the 'init.d' folder.If you want to add any script like LagFree v2,just put the files of the init.d folder in the script's folder here,nothing else.You dont need to copy any other files like META-INF.
Another file,is CHANGELOG-CM,just as the name suggests its a file giving you changelogs
Another file is NOTICE.html..Its just a file showing copyrights and all that stuff.You wouldnt need to edit that,would you?
Will add more about the other files soon
Next,the 'fonts' folder..You guys need an explanation for that??
Next,'framework' folder.Here you will find framework-res.apk(Obviously,duh...).I wont tell about any other file because this is aimed at new users,not advanced guys.Framework-res is where all the icons in notification bar are.The battery icons,they are all in framework.Also,lockscreen icons
go here..Most of the icons.If i have to start on anything.It would take me weeks,theres so much to write about framework.Also take care not to mess up the framework.Because its like the skeleton(thats what i know ) of a rom.If a framework is incorrectly configured,the rom wont boot.So,keep that in your mind always when you edit framework.
Next,the 'libs' folder,This guide is aimed at newbies,so not touching this part.
And comes 'media'..Most probably you will find 2-3 folders here.Audio,bootanimation.zip and wallpapers.
If you want to change the default,its in build.prop,not here,i will explain that later.If you need to add some audio,its just drag and drop,nothing much,just put them in the right folders,like alarms,ringtones and notifications
If you need to add wallpapers,reszie the pictures to 640x480,thats the resolution that works for ace.Also resize it to 107x80 and save it as another pic with a _small at the end.For eg,the default file is defaultwallpaper.jpg,you make another pic with 107x80 called defaultwallper_small.jpg.
Then,theres the bootanimation.zip..However way you change this thing.Always name it bootanimation.If you want to know how to make a boot animation,then refer freeyourandroid.com
Next up is 'tts' folder..Sorry but i dont know much about this folder.I think this folder contains the languages for the tts app but i am not sure about it.Same goes for 'usr' and 'wifi' folders.But since this thread is aimed at newbies,i dont think there wouldnt a point in writing them up anyway
Next up is build.prop file.Open it with notepad++...build.prop file is pretty self explanatory.
Here you can change the most basic things like the android version that setting shows..Wondered how people are making 2.3.4 look like 4.0.3 in settings??Its build.prop.Also,you can change what 'About phone' shows here.
Other things,you can change things like,how long your wifi scans,how much battery your phone saves while in sleep,Dalvik VM heapsize and default ringtones.If you are wondering what # stands for,it signifies that,that particular tweak is not running,so you can take out the # if its a tweak you like.You could also use it say things like,Additional build properties.You could make it #AdditionalBuildProperties and go to the next line and give your tweaks there.Some build.prop tweaks can be found in slaid480's thread in Galaxy Ace S5830 titled "[MOD]Build.prop tweaks for SGA" or you can go to freeyourandroid.com and find some tweaks there,however the tweaks listed there are universal,so practise caution when playing with build.prop
Now to boot.img..Theres an awesome guide about this in freeyourandroid.com Please have a look at it,because there are lots to write about this one.This is where Cygwin comes in,for instructions on unpacking and repacking and commands and info about boot.img,referHERE and HERE.My summarized version,boot.img is where you can replace kernels.This is where you can make those low-level changes
Then,to META-INF folder.You would find lots of folders here but the file that you would edit consistently is update script.Find it and open it with Notepad++..Unless you edited xbin and bin files,this is not hard to do..Just change around ui_print to what you like.Dont touch anything else if you dont know what you are doing.If you DID edit xbin or bin files,you would need to touch advanced things like symlink tagged ones(I had to give them some sort of a tag)
Updater-Script References and notes:
Now,the updater-script is not something that you should mess around with,a single line of error in the script could get you in trouble.You might also have heard these words,Amend and Edify and wondered what they are,well Edify is the language with which Updater-script is written,while Amend is the language with which Update-Script is written.Now,As far as i know,Ace does NOT support Update script,it just supports Updater-script,so if you are working with kitchen,dont forget to swap the files in META-INF with the the updater-script provided by ketut.kumajaya in Blackhawk thread.So,you should learn to study updater-script of roms and patches before you mess around with them,especially patches here...Now,for example,I made a GPS patch that replaces hw folder in CyanogenMod with my patch.Now,i tell the updater script to delete the hw folder in lib and make another one and put my files in there,you,a normal user will flash it and it would work,but a rom maker without seeing that i have told the updater script to delete hw folder,adds my lib files to the existing lib files,which causes the rom not to boot.So,study the updater-script of patches and see what they do before you jump in and start doing things your own way and mess things up.I will write down a few updater-script commands here and what they do for your convenience now.Here you guys go with it:
mount-mounts a filesystem
is_mounted-checks if a filesystem is mounted
unmount-Unmounts a filesystem
format-format a filesystem (duh..)
delete-Deletes a single file
delete_recursive-Deletes a folder and all of its contents
show_progress-Display flash progress
package_extract_dir-Extract all the files present in a directory to a specified directory
package_extract_file-Extract single file from directory to specified target
file_getprop-dont know much about this one
symlink-Unlinks any existing symbolic links before creating the new symbolic links.
set_perm-Sets permissions for a file,note you dont write rw-r-r here.Its the numbers,for example,for root access,you write 777(right?),not anything else
set_perm_recursive-Sets permissions for a full directory,for example,if you specified a folder,permissions for the folder and all files in it will be set.
getprop-This function returns the value of the property specified. This is used to query platform information from the build.props file.
write_raw_image-Writes a raw image into a partition
apply_patch-Applies patches to a directory -_- (dont you guys understand it just by reading that? )
apply_patch_check-Checks if a file can be patched or if they have been patched
apply_patch_space-Checks if there is enough space to apply a patch
read_file-Reads contents of a file
sha1check-If only data is specified, then the function returns the sha1_hex string of the data. The optional parameters are used if you want to verify that the file you are checking for is one of a list of hashes. It reutrns the hash it matches, or returns nothing if it doesn't match any of the mentioned hashses.
ui_print-It outputs a message to the users while flashing.So,if you see something like 'This is so awesome',know that its not such a big deal and that its just a line of editing here
run_program-Runs a program
ifelse-This is the if-then construct of the Edify scripting language. The truecondition or falsecondition arguments can be a single edify command or a script block. Script blocks can be formed by enclosing the parameter with parenthesis, and seperating the commands with semicolons
abort-duh..it aborts script execution
assert-If condition evaluates to false, stops script execution, otherwise continues processing.
Thats it,dont worry after seeing all these commands.You wont see them all in most of the roms.Here is a list of commands that you usually see in a updater-script.
ui_print
mount
unmount
delete
delete_recursive
package_extract_directory
symlink
show_progress
set_perm
set_progress
set_perm_recursive
getprop
run_program
assert
Now on making it a flashable zip,archive them to a zip file.Get a signer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6050996&postcount=2
NOTE:Signing is not necessary
The instructions on using that are given with it.Just rename it back to the name you like after signing it.
Thanks to everyone.Especially,freeyourandroid,XDA and TeamCooper and all members of XDA developers and to me (well,you are the one who does that,remember that button Jk )
Hope this helped you guys..Again,this is a thread aimed at educating the new members,not advanced guys.Sorry if i missed anything or made a mistake..Please give me suggestions on this too.Will add more info to this thread when i have the time[/SIZE]

i got what he is trying to say.
he is saying that due to rom building guides noobs will also learn how to build custom rom but they may not have that knowledge skills to make a distinguished ROMS they will be building common roms with little or no difference, difference will be only that different people will release rest things will be kind of same only no drastic changes.
hope i am right

Nice work, thank you
If you have time, can you please post a guide on how to sign APK files?
For example, if i want to edit an icon of an app, i change the icon in the .apk but then i have to sign it, how can i do it?
On the net i found lots of guides and programs but none of them worked for me...
Anyway good work
I figured this would be a good time to learn instead of always relaying on the devs. Does anyone know how to create a script to remove bloatware that is flashable in recovery or executable in terminal?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370164
I know it's not gonna be the same as the note3, but it gives you an idea as how others have done it.
And this one is an aroma package, so it cannot be simply edited. This is more of an example for how to proceed.

I've been searching around but I can't find a system that work. There's a rom on the Sprint Note 3 forum and the Dev posted a super simple script to run in terminal using
mount -o rw,remout /system
rm /system/app/Accuweatherphone2013.apk
reboot.
to execute in terminal sh/ sdcard/*filename*.sh (file has to be on root of internal memory)
for whatever reason it's not working,
Try making a flashable zip to delete a specific app you don't want and see if that works. If it does then that should be the direction to take.
It should work... should.

As I was implying before, there is another way besides scripts in a terminal emulator...
Make a zip you can flash in safestrap. I've made you one that you can expand on.
This zip will remove a font apk file. I chose this in particular, because it's benign and won't mess up any functionality of anyone's system.
Here is the file I chose to delete:
View attachment 2460606
Using Notepad++ (available free, just google notepad plus plus) I put together this updater-script:
View attachment 2460610
Then created a zip using 7zip (also available free, use google again).
Booted into safestrap recovery and installed it.
Rebooted system and file is now gone:
View attachment 2460614
The highlighted section inside updater-script would need to have a line in it for each apk you want to delete. If it has an .odex file associated with it, you need to also include a line to delete that as well.
Try it out!

I remember that mikeyxda, he had the brilliant instant wake feature on his rom!!! I figured out how to run it using a zip. I think I would prefer that method so I don't have to run terminal every time I flash a rom. Thanks for looking out though, I will also create a script for terminal in case any one wants it.
Ah ... gotcha. I just remembered he had some kind of debloat

Just installed multirom and have a question. When you download a new rom zip, which folder are you supposed to put it in .
I assumed it would be the multirom folder, but I cannot find any way to move the zip from my download folder to the multirom one.
I have tried moving, copy and paste and about any way I could think of to move a file, but no go.It seems like for some reason access to the multirom folder is denied. I am sure it is something I am doing wrong and someone that's a lot smarter than me will clue me in.
Thanks

You can have it in whatever folder you want, when you go to flash the zip file in TWRP it will ask you to select the folder that the zip is stored in.
The multirom folder isn't accessible normally for performance reasons (Android's media scanner would spend a lot of time scanning the files in there, wasting CPU cycles and battery). If you really do need to access that folder though, there are other ways to do so.

Right you are.For some strange reason when when I tried this before there was no file tree when I clicked on choose rom , just a blank page.
That's what really had me stumped.
Tried again after reading your post and and installed a rom no problem.
Again many thanks

- Unzip and copy this file (power_profile.xml) with winRAR to your current framework-res.apk (res/xml)
- Flash your rom again
- wipe cache and dalvik
(decompiling and recompiling not needed !)
- Unzip and copy this file (power_profile.xml) with winRAR to your current framework-res.apk (res/xml)
- Flash your rom again

If you flash your rom again, the edited framework-res.apk will get overwritten, so what's exactly the point of editing it?
And what does this change exactly do?

You decompress your rom and put that file on framework-res/res/xml with winRAR and you repack your rom again. That's all !

This is just plain wrong on so many levels...
1. Don't tinker with an .apk unless you decompiled it. With your way you will inevitable break zipalign, thus slowing everything down.
2. The power_profile.xml you provided is already pre-compiled. Why?
3. You flash the Rom again - This overwrites the changes you made before. Lee me guess, without going back to the original framework you device did not boot? That is because you not only broke zipalign, but also the .apk's signature. So the system refuses to install the vital framework.
I said it before in one of your threads. Be careful on what you upload here, as people usually trust xda and, excuse my language, rubbish like yours is of no use for anyone...
I hope you realize that by now.
So long...

I said it before in one of your threads. Be careful on what you upload here, as people usually trust xda and, excuse my language, rubbish like yours is of no use for anyone...
I hope you realize that by now.
So long...

you can verify it by decompiling your new framework-res.apk and compare it with stock one.
just for sharing with people
if you don't like it so it's not for you and don't use it. it's simple

If you upload something that is wrong, than I think it is fair enough if I say something. It seems you find stuff on the internet and just upload it as 'new' here.
Anyway best of luck with your endeavors. I'm out...

who told you that ??? give me the link where you found my work !
i think you are a little bit paranoid. don't use anything from me or talk to the moderator or specialist, he can verify my files !
please leave this thread alone
if someone want to verify. see these two files and compare them

Ok I said I'm out, but you are pushing it...
Do you have any idea what the power_profile.xml actually does?
It provides consumption values to the framework, so that this may properly calculate the battery consumption. Changing values in there won't change anything else then the readings in the battery report or apps that call upon that data.
It will in no way affect the actual energy consumption, so I stand by what I said before.
You provide a not working thing, period!
If you don't believe me read more about it over
here...
Anyway that's it from me, good luck...

u're wrong. it works for me :good:
there are many errors when compiling roms from cyanogenmod and stock rom by sony and samsung and others. see my sound fix thread for example you will see the difference ! cyanogenmod didn't fix that sound problem yet !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/cm11-sound-fix-ultimate-t2861135
And as you can see on stock rom or cm11 give a high value (for radio, BT,GPS, screen-on or cpu idle) will drain battery fast !
compare the two files decompiled !
So what is about with this mod? What are the benefits of using this? Can someone confirm working this? I read this discusion and i dont know its safe or i brick my device?
it really works for me. i never upload that never works or never tested. i got a great battery life after found this solution : two days with heavy usage. believe it or not ! make a backup and test. better you decompile and modify the values like uploaded here. :good:
ok so can you adviced me what i need to do?
im using stsock kk russian second edition 108.
what i need to change or is any option to create flashable zip file to instal it via recovery or i need to push it manually? why i need to flash new firmware after this operation? after flashing i understand that all of my data will erased with all settings and all my file will be cleaned ? i dont udnerstand why it wouldnt works after flashing? maybe you could post some instructions step by step to clean up everything im a little bit scared that i can brick my phone or something.
cheers
I see that it was mentioned before, but it seems it went unheard.
This mod will not work because of the simple reason that the second step overwrites the change!
Flashing the ROM again will remove the modified framework-res.apk file.
You can try and see for yourself. after doing the steps, unpack the apk again and see which power_profiles.xml is there.
I'm pretty sure you'll find the default one.
Also, the file has nothing to do with actual power consumption, as is mentioned in the Android documentation.
I hate to say it but the battery improvement you noticed is just a placebo
If you really want us to believe it works, then at least show us what you got. A screenshot of battery usage and screen time are a good proof

I think he means open the ZIP of your Rom on PC, put that file in and then put the Rom to phone again and flash it over your current Rom.
And yes, a proof would be good
Is there any way to fix/improve battery life on CM11? Z1C with the same usage on stock rom gets over 2.5x longer battery life.

- Unzip and copy this file (power_profile.xml) with winRAR to your current framework-res.apk (res/xml)
- Flash your rom again
- wipe cache and dalvik
(decompiling and recompiling not needed !)

Well, I replaced in the archive file, but how to pack in the APK?
P.S Understood with the help of Root Explorer

you got a bad or an oudated apktool. i don't have any error after decompiling. try it by yourself !
it's not a placebo. it's my work

sorry but you must have some basic knowledge on decompiling to make the change. if you don't know what is decomiling/compiling, juste take the file and put it like in OP. thanx

Yes, but it was very simple) I just renamed the Root Explorer in zip archive, there has replaced the file, and then simply copied the zip on the apk, it works)
but how does it affect the battery, I still do not understand
