So I'm hoping the community can help me solve a problem I'm having compiling the framework-res.apk. I'm using Apk Manager and am trying to add the power menu options to deodexed JL5. The apk seems to decompile without a problem and I went in and made all the necessary edits and then compiled it. The problem is that after it's done compiling it is significantly smaller in size than it should be. I tested this by decompiling the framework and then immediately compiling it back without making any changes; the result is an almost 1mb smaller file. Any ideas why? Well, here's hoping I have the answer in the morning.
Awww nobody knows? I figure with all the rom devs and themers someone would quickly be able to point me in the right direction. T_T
What are you using to decompile then compile that apk? If using apk manager, be sure you set the compression level (have to set it to 0 when i'm working with the phone apk's to kill the ascending ringer, default is set to 9), and set the max memory size to 512, default there is 64. Thats if using apk manager. If you're using anything else to work with the apk's, sorry, but I wouldn't know. Good luck man.
edited: noticed you are using apk manager. try adjusting the settings i mentioned, hope it helps.

Thank you so much for the tip. I was looking at apk manager's options and JUST noticed the compression level setting. Then checked here and see you mentioned that as well as the memory size. I'll post back and let you know if it worked. Hoping I can get this power menu out to everyone soon. Of course, right when I do another leak will come... lol
God forbid another leak right now, I'm just getting ready to tear apart stock jl5 and take a crack at doing something my own. Hopefully I can at least have a few days with jl5 to learn how to break stuff.
Good luck with the framework, interested to hear your results.

It compiled. Took a few tries though. Found out I had totally botched my resource id's. Got them sorted out though and it worked. The real test will be when I flash this puppy to my phone. Now to fix my resource id's in the android.policy.jar and framework.jar. FUN FUN ...
Well **** it didn't work. It actually booted up this time but shortly after started vibrating and crashed. Well... back to the ol' drawing board....
Edit: My phone only crashes when I try to access the powermenu.
Edit2: *facepalm* when I added in the resource ID's for the additional menu options I had to change others to compensate. Well I forgot to change those ID's in the smali... so I guess that means whenever I hold down the power button it looks in two places for what to do and flips a table. At least I know what the issue is [I think]. Time to fix it!
Just thought I'd say that I FINALLY got it to work. I now have the reboot options on stock JL5. W00t!!1one!
I sad in the mod thread I'd pick your brain in the future, guess I'm impatient. What made it finally work?

I join the question of ldrifta.
It would be so kind to explain where he changed the compression to 0, and expanded memory to 256.
It is that to use the APK Manager 10 option, it does not use 7za, but it uses "java - jar apktool.jar", and not be as remove compression to jar.
Thank you.

What theme are you using... most of them incorporate the reboot option... unless your using a custom theme... Might try flashing something like gingerblur, or one of the other popular themes in this forum. Then you can edit the framework-res.apk to your liking, replace what ever icons you want back, and you'll have the reboot option as well. Sorry, I'm ot sure how to just add the reboot option though... sure it will require the editing of services.jar or the framework-res.apk.
the theme im using doesnt have it. i want to modify the theme and add it but im no sure what i need to do to add that feature.. does anyone know how?
Can anyone help ...

You could use my MotoBlur theme as a base for your theme. Its just the stock theme with 1% battery and reboot added.

The reboot option is added by editing android.policy.jar.

Tried it the other day for 2.3.4... incredibly difficult... well, maybe not so much difficult, as it is trying to find a complete set of directions... Apparently, the devs used a combination of two different threads that were written for different phones... so the code lines don't match up and it was a damn cluster **** to try an figure out, so I gave up... Kenneth said this will be implemented on his next update for 2.3.4.
I wish I still had the pages saved, but I deleted them after trying to do this for a couple of hours, so I wouldn't be tempted to try it again. Ask in the IRC chat, there are a few people there that can direct you to the right place if you want to attempt, and good luck.
Bump, anyone find a good source for how to do this on gb? I'm not having luck finding the info.

No one's been able to do it yet as far as I know. The gingerbread file structure associated with the reboot option has changed so much that it is incredibly difficult. I had heard a report that Designgears may have figured it out, but I think it was probably a false report, as no Atrix Dev has yet to incorporate it into a ROM or theme.

Just another update... DG said to me a while back that he was able to add the options, but they screwed up the current options so none of them worked. He did not get it working for the Cognition beta.
I tried my hand as well, but couldn't figure it out.
I used gscript and just made a shortcut on my desktop. Works great.
Is it adding the button to the menu that breaks it?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I tried as well, and all I got was me turning my power button into a reset button, options wouldn't show up.. so there was no way to turn it off, it would just reset my phone when ever I tried to pull up the Phone options..
I was working on this a little bit once I got GB update. I am like 80% the way through it. I can link to what I am going off of-
From the Vibrant Forums
I had all the files edited and ready to rock, the problem I was at was the RECOMPILING. I think I was missing some dependencies.
I got all the way up to that point and had to go home for the day at work- never picked it back up. If I get some time at work today I'll give it another crack.
If I get anywhere I'll post my framework-res.apk.
I followed the steps from that thread too and while I could build/compile everything fine and get the options to show in the menu none of the reboot options would work. Seems we're all having similar issues with this.

I was following that thread as well, and my issue was stated above, then I saw this from the DX2 forum, which has GB and on his change log, he stated he added reboot options.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198857
I grabbed his theme, compared the framework.jar, framework-res.apk, and android.policy.jar files.. they pretty much match up with ours. So, using Notepad++, I did a compare between the files, added what he added, basically looks like the same things from the vibrant how-to. This time around, when I press for the power options, it comes up normal, but the link to the 'reboot' does not show up... I might try this without the battery %, as that takes up alot of the hex id....
I'm thinking we might need to add that line from DG that he did a while back for the first reboot options on froyo...
I also have no problems with recompile... I'll mess around with it some more when I have free time.. I don't spend much time inside during the summers..
has anyone decompiled the framework-res from the g2x's gb build or maybe even CM? Not USE the framework of course, but maybe see what flags that policy uses for a reboot?
edit* seems like previous posted may have tried what I asked. back to the digi drawing board...
Heey there
I was searching a while for a transparent settings app (I like transparent apps so )
Since no theme porter or dev was answering the Q for transparent settings app
I tried to customize the settings app myself i tried different things but unsuccessful (maybe because of my limited skills )
After some more trying it almost works
So thought I'll post it here so everyone can enjoy a transparent settings app
Since I'm not a dev or theme porter and I was just trying something out
There are some bugs in it but I don't have the required skills to fix them all
so if there is any dev or theme porter that could give me some tips PM PLEAS I really want this done
Extra options that work
Build in font changer in settings app itself so no need for Third party app
G-sensor calibration option
This need to be "fixed"
Wireless and network menu
Bluetooth switch on the check-box in the settings menu doesn't work (when you enable bleutooth in the statusbar the settings can be changed in the bleutooth menu)
Call settings menu
The call settings menu should be expanded (now there is only a voice-mail setting option so nothing like hide numer callsettings etc.)
Sound settings menu
There is an option for video-call ringtone (need to be removed but doesn't give FC so not urgent )
Display settings menu
Brightness setting doesn't work (if you use the Power control widget you can change the brightness)
There are options for
- White colour density
- Black colour density
- Saturation
- TV out
All FC, whether they should be removed or fixed, if someone can make these option working that would be super
The horizontal calibration must be edit because the roll indicator is not one the right scale
Location and security menu
The option for aiding sensors is missing
Application menu
in the menu "manage applications the size for each app is on the big side not verry handy if you have a lot of apps but its just for the looks so not verry urgent
SD-card and memory menu
There is an option for formatting internal memory haven't tried it yet but if someone has enough courage to try this option we will know if it works
For the rest everything is working perfect

I'll reupload my previous one so some people can try it out and maybe fix the bugs
After trying my first attempt again i discovered that the build in font changer in the settings app works so you can apply new fonts in the settings app itself so no need to install any third party apps
Also the option for G-sensor calibration works!!!
Well. The main difference you will find in styles.xml when you decompile this Settings.apk and the one from our phone. There are some lines that have to be added to it. And then you will have to define them in Public.xml also. And then again you will have to declare them in the classes.dex file. i.e. in the smali files.
Its tedious. Smali/baksmali.

Okay. So I just pulled the updater script out of my failed theme. I see a umount instead of unmount. Is it supposed to be umount? Or is that a typo that could possibly be causing a failed issue?
Possible Fix
Ok, I finally had time to sit down and try to figure this out. I did get it to successfully flash. Here is a run down. I hope this helps.
1) Framwork-res.apk and SystemUI.apk came from skinney ROM (this souldn't matter but just throwing it out there).
2) I only did a battery mod (save time on cooking theme.
OK here we go:
1) under File Upload tab I did the following:
a) Edify scripting
-update-binary = Optimus
2) framework-res.apk = /system/framework
3) SystemUI.apk = /system/app
4) Patch9 autofix = checked
5) ThemeChooser review = unchecked
6) Kitchen setting (optional) = skipped
7) Select your rom from kitchen's list, or upload your own files
a) check system files
b) upload your framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
8) Click on summarry and now cook theme
9) place theme on internal memory and flash in CWM
Hope this makes sense. I am going to try and make a full theme to see if the whole thing takes Like I said I only did the battery mod to save time in cooking the theme. Let me know if this helps and if it does work for you.
Cool Man. You saved my phone from being hurled at the wall. haha. I'm gonna give this a shot and see what happens.

you tryng to port using UTO? I have no clue there...will have to play around.
Haha, nah Man. I got over that. I'm "porting" via unzipping files, pulling **** out, putting it here, rezipping it then flashing it and hoping it works. But thus far, I'm not having great luck. I got everything working, no FC's on the dialer or anything. But the status bar/lockscreen aren't changing to the Alien theme.
got ya...lol...your way a head of me in the theme game. I am trying to just get UTO to work so I can get a few themes to hopefully tide people over and to get me a few to work off of (i.e. adding themed apks). I can get HxD to view the coding but after that I can't get the code to appear to make the color code changes I want to. I am making progress but slowly. When you said about phone going into the wall...I am past that...I am even past fist in the wall....I am up to the bang head here. Ibuprofen and coffee has been my friend. Not to mention working 12 and 24 hour shifts. The only thing that does give me time is the fact that when the family sleeps I am up all night then sleep all day. So that does help to get things done.
Wow that was a full circle ramble...lmao...maybe to much coffee....lmao
I have been tweaking the SystemUI application, changing the way a few things work.
Installation Instructions
Download View attachment SystemUI.apk
Make sure /system is remounted R/W. This can be done with Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. If you get a "Read-only filesystem" error this is the step you missed.
Replace /system/app/SystemUI.apk with the downloaded one.
At this point it is normal for the status bar to disappear. If it starts Force Closing repeatedly, pasting again should stop it so that you can continue to fix the permissions.
Make sure the file is owned by the root user and group.
Make sure the permissions of the file are 644, or read, write for user and read for group and other.
Reboot and enjoy!
I plan on adding killing the current application by long-tapping the back button like CyanogenMod. I can probably add other tweaks if requested.
Changelog
Version 2:
No more QuickNav bar when you press the n button
n button acts like a standard Home button
Version 1:
Permanent back and menu buttons
Hm.. seems to be an early beta... we're trying to work the kinks out of it... but it seems to have some problems right now. (When does anyone release anything right the first time?)
----
I've got it, and it all works as advertised now. I'm rolling it into my update-package, and yay. ... I really need to find a way to get this package out there...
Whoops, forgot Certs the first time around. Download the attachment again, this new one should work great!
Thanks for that. I tested it in settings and no back button! (permissions changed)
Edit: Now it works. This is great! Thanks
Great idea! Have you though about changing the default icons for the status bar?
That is extremely easy to do, but I don't have much artistic talent, so I'm not going to make them from scratch. What would you like to see replaced?

I've had lots of fun in the past replacing most icons with those like the Suave HD Redone pack on my Epic 4g. I'll probably wind up doing the same on here.
Here's a link to the forum post. He originally did it for MIUI but you can rip out the icons and put them in any ROM/Launcher.

Check the first post again. The n button acts like the Home button now.
after using your SystemUI.apk, my n button has completely stopped working. i simply just did as you said in your post "replace the SystemUI.apk". I am now stuck with not being able to use the n button for anything. Any ideas on how to get it to work correctly? are there any permissions or anything that i need to set?
That usually happens when it's initially replaced. Have you tried rebooting? How are you replacing it?
All the apk's in that directory are chmod 644, but it works for me 666. They also should be owned by root.
Please add a version number or a date on thread header text. So we can better see when an update is available.

yea i rebooted a few times and it still didn't work. my last attempt seems to have solved the problem i was having, i had to change permission for owner all three of them needed to be checked (read, write, and execute). Seems to be working now but I'll have to test it a bit more. Thanks for the reply.
I actually backed up the original one anyways so I could have simply just replaced it again to revert back, but it seems to be working for the time being
Well, seems like everything is working like it should for the time being...
Which buttons are the menu and back permanent buttons? are you talking about the ones on the status bar? I don't really see any changes because they were always there to begin with...
works great thanks! Nook tablet keeps getting better and better!
would love a permanent active apps button a la honeycomb (w/o having to use the honeycomb launcher)

i second this... is there a way to go to a list of running apps in go launcher ex?
set the permissions to
Code:
Read, Write, Nothing
Read, nothing, nothing
Read, nothing, nothing
in otherwords, 644
Enjoy..

i didnt backup my systemUI my mistake very noobish
can you upload your old one if you dont mind
EDIT
Nevermind i got it off the 1.4.0
acclaim update
Also, thankyou Indirect for all your hardwork!
for some reason, ever since replacing the systemui.apk, my nt sometimes blacks out, as in its still on but i am just left with a black screen. anyone else encounter this? i am going to change my permissions to what indirect posted and see if that changes anything.
and @promek: i guess i can upload my original systemui.apk when i figure out how to upload stuff and post it here on xda...
@revcompgeek What did you use for apk editing, metamorph, ninjamorph or another?

No Need, I have replaced it and reverted back with the one from the acclaim update for 1.4.0
it was just my preference with the default N... No disrespect to Indirect of course.
thanks again
Hey Guys!
I've been trying to find a way to keep the softkey light on S2 on MIUI turned off (COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0) but there really isn't a way...
I've noticed in CM7 there is a Galaxy SII settings app that can be found independently in Titanium Backup. That app has the option to turn off the softkey backlight completely.
Do you think it's possible to drag that app from CM7 and Install it on MIUI to turn off the keylight? Considering from what I've read MIUI is based partly on CM right?
Go to display setting. Turn on auto brightness and beneath it will be advanced settings or something. Then there should be automatic backlight tab or Light Levels. Click on Edit Other levels.. Underneath button, make the value(should be 225 or 250) go to 0. You're good to go. You can turn off auto brightness then.
Pretty sure the OP said "COMPLETELY, not auto brightness values for button to 0"...Wait...He did
OP - there are various scripts around the place which claim to achieve this. I also use Miui & setting the auto brightness to zero used to work. This stopped working early in the the new year so something has obviously changed in Miui's builds.
I can't vouch for the usefulness of these scripts as I've learned to live with this issue, and I don't have a link for same. Try a Google search & append XDA to your search terms. This should yield something for you.
Edit to add - With regard to pulling over an app from CM7, obviously Miui is CM based so it might work. I guess you can only try it & find out. Can't see how it could do any harm given it's only an app.
@Mistah Thanks loads dude, I've tried some of the scripts from some of the searches I did and nothing seems to work you're right.
I'll give it a shot and see how it goes, but I don't think if i get the APK out i can just install it normally right? I'd have to put it in system>app then do a reboot for it to go in nicely?
I'll test it and report it back here tmrw thanks!
No worries
Yeah I'm not surprised the scripts don't work. Yeah give it a try, put it in /system/app & also might wanna mount /system rw before you install it (if you need to, use an app like Remount to do this). Yeah do a reboot after you've installed it & cross your fingers.
Will be awaiting your report with baited breath

Pm-ed! Thanks!
Replied. Doesn't work & I doubt it will.
I wrote a script which works for me on all kernels with init.d support, here's a link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27703769/Permanently Disable Softkey Backlight.zip
If the flashable zip doesnt work just copy the script and set correct permissions (755). Please report back, because I haven't used the script for a while now...
BLN doesn't work on the script, though. I have located the file which contains the value for the backlight and changed its permissions, this disables the phone to change this value and thus keeping it off. This file is on a different location on almost every phone, so most scripts work on only one particular device.

Hey Joop!
Tested the zip and it flashed but it just seems to force the softkey light on. Doesn't go off at all after that. Thanks for the help though!
