Hello Guys
I have designed a glow circle battery for my own use, but I decided to post it here so you may use it in case you like it
The battery was developed on a i9000, but I analyzed the framework from captivate and it seems that this procedure will work on captivate also. Please try and feedback.
If you like my work, please consider a small donation to help me continue developing.
Change log:
17.03.2011
-Reorganized the threat so everyone could easily mod his own framework. Follow the new installation instructions
-Added CWM file only with script so you can use it with your framework file safely.
-Uploaded new reorganized image packages.
14.03.2011
-added new charger images. -- Beams -- ( i might rework them in the next days) --
-added missing images for full charge and so on...
-I will modify tomorrow morning the threat, with new reorganised files cause it became a little confusing
03.02.2011
CAUTION:
Flash only if you have DOC's ROm, because some users stated that on Darky they had problems. Not sure why, because it should work - they're both deodexed roms. Do a BACKUP
-Added CWM files for V1, V2 - with percentage and clear at charging
-Working to a new animation for charging, a lot better than this one, but I can;t tell you when it will be ready because I have a lot to work for my school
02.02.2011
Finished creating charging icons and XML editing for animation. I Added two versions of the framework:
-Version 1 : loops the circle animation continuous, without showing the current amount of battery after each loop
-Version 2 : Shows after each loop the amount of battery
01.03.2011
I just created another battery with life indicators on the margins
INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS

wrong. using that you will need to reflash as you will keep getting FC errors on every app.
What have you not understood?
WHOA WHOA WHOA.
What rom is this?
that looks jizzingly beautiful!
I don't even understand these instructions:
1. Download 3 packs: one with images of the battery (batt1 or batt2), one of the chargers (Glow, or BEAMS) and one of the charging animation images (with percentage and without).

the batteries are organized in image packs, so you can form different combinations. the packs are available in the download links, and the CWM_update is the file that will help you update your systems framework without breaking your system. sorry, but if you don't have some basic knowledge about this I don't recommend to do any modification, as you might brick your phone.
I think the instructions are clear enough... I can't explain better than that

thats what i thought when i saw it..damm
I have some experience but i'm by no means advanced. I also don't have DOC's rom, whatever rom that is. I'm using Bionix 1.3.1, can I still flash this battery file?
Let me go step by step on this so maybe i'll understand what your saying with ease...
1. Download 3 packs: one with images of the battery (batt1 or batt2), one of the chargers (Glow, or BEAMS) and one of the charging animation images (with percentage and without).
2. Download CWM_update.zip
3. Place the files from the battery pack and charger inside your framework-res.apk file, in /res/drawable-hdpi.
4. Place the file from charging script inside your framework-res.apk file, in /res/drawable
5. put the modified framework-res.apk file inside the framework folder, of the CWM_update.zip.
6. Reboot in CWM.
7. Clear cache.
8. Clear Dalvik.
9. Flash the file.
10 Reboot and enjoy
Ok, so I downloaded the 3 files... Glow Charger, New Evolution battery, and Charging with %. Then I downloaded CWM_update.zip
Now I went ahead and unrar'ed the 3 zip files, which are obviously full of images.
Now the next 3 steps are what confuse the living hell out of me:
3. Place the files from the battery pack and charger inside your framework-res.apk file, in /res/drawable-hdpi.
4. Place the file from charging script inside your framework-res.apk file, in /res/drawable
5. put the modified framework-res.apk file inside the framework folder, of the CWM_update.zip.
What exactly are you telling me to do here?
I'm not the most advanced, but i'm also not challenged so if you could just break it down a little bit more maybe i'd understand it better.
Sorry I didn't mean to come off like a prick in the last post, i really would like to try these battery mods out, they look nifty.
And also i'm with these guys, what theme/rom are you running... looks like everything on your phone is transparent?
Looks pretty awesome! I'm content with my current battery, but this is quite cool....
If you don't mind though, what font is that? It looks awesome!
Crysis21 said:
no man, not that;s what i mean. the battery, the charger, and the XML for making the animation are put in separate packages. all these packages must be combined, at your preference, in your framework-res.apk file. (you open the framework-res.apk with WINRAR and then you put the images in the folder drawable-res-hdpi and the xml in drawable. TAKE CARE to save the file with no compression!!! after that, put the file in CWM_updater, in framework folder. THIS FILE (cwm_updater) you will flash with CWM. Got it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this is what i explained on captivate forum. I hope is clear enough
Ok, so I tried to follow your guide.
Using QtADB I went ahead and found the framework-res.apk file. I then copied it to my PC and unrar'ed it. Then I went to drawable-hdpi (I didn't have a drawable-res-hdpi.... but I found the images in drawable-hdpi so I replaced them there)
I then went ahead and make the file and APK again through winrar. Made sure I didn't compress it.
I then went and opened the CWM_Update.zip folder, went into the the framework folder, and copied the framework-res.apk inside of it.
I then copied the CWM_Update.zip to my SD card, went into CWM and tried to install it. When I try to install the zip I get the following:
E:Can't open /sdcard/romstuff/CWM_Update_evolution_battery.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted
I renamed CWM_Update the CWM_Update_Evolution_battery so I knew what the file was for since I have alot of stuff in my rom folder.
I'm assuming changing the name shouldn't do anything since anything else i've ever renamed is fine.
I'm running Bionix 1.3.1, could that have something to do with it???
This really sucks I wanted to try the battery, and i'm really sure I did this right... i'm not an idiot with a computer so I'm lost on where I went wrong possibly?
I just found your post in the captivate forum, and also checked that I used "STORE" on winrar for both repacking the .apk file and for the .zip file. The whole update.zip file ended up being a little more than 11mb... does that sound right? The APK file itself is 6.6mb in size.
It's still giving me the (bad) file error in CWM.
I have followed each step, copied the files to the apk, put the apk into the CWM_update zip and flashed with clockwork. For some reason it is not working/showing up. Still has the default battery icons and animations. I am running Axura 2.3.1.3. No problems with Clockwork flashing, no error or stuck on boot animations. Don't know what else to do. Really like this battery mod.
Do you have to delete the original Battery png's and charging icons from the Framework folder to make this work? I also am trying to follow your instructions and trying to make sense of it.

Hey Guys,
This mod will remove the time from the notification bar on your Atrix. You will need to install the Java SE JDK in order to perform this mod.
You Must Be Deodexed to Perform this Mod!
Instructions:
1) First download smali-1.2.6.jar and baksmali-1.2.6.jar from here http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list. Rename them to just smali.jar and baksmali.jar.
2) You'll need to pull the services.jar from the /system/framework/ directory on your phone to your PC. Open the services.jar file for example with winzip, 7z, winRar, or whatever. Unzip the classes.dex file to a new folder and place the baksmali and smali file there too. After that open a new command window within that folder and run following line:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o out/ classes.dex
3) You'll have a new folder now called "out". Browse to "out/com/android/server/status" and open the file called StatusBarPolicy.smali with a text editor. I personally prefer "Notepad++".
4) Search for:
Code:
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->updateClock()V
5) It should be under ".line 592". Now add this line underneath the line you just searched for from above:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p2, v3, v6}, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarService;->setIconVisibility(Landroid/os/IBinder;Z)V
6) Save the file.
7) Open a new command window within the folder you created before or maximize the same command window you used before and run this:
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out/ -o edited-classes.dex
8) Now you'll have a new dex file called "edited-classes.dex". Rename the old dex file to classes_old.dex and rename the new file to "classes.dex".
9) Open again the services.jar file with any zip tool and overwrite the classes.dex file with the one just created.
10) Push the updated services.jar back to the /system/framework/ directory on your phone and set the file permissions to rw-r--r--. Reboot!
That's it! Now you have more room for icons...

Hey Tone... thought I would post it here.. just in case people don't want or don't know how to do this.. I created the CWM install version for them... credit goes to you for the MOD...
I also attached a 1% services.jar from Gingerblur v3.5 with the no clock mod... I don't use the 1% MOD... but you can give it a try...

Huummm, battery level seems to be stuck @ 100% now... let me try erasing battery data via CWM
Well, I don't know??? Wiped battery status and dalvik cache with CWM and battery status still shows 100%... Going to restore to the backup I made before flashing this, and confirm that this was indeed the problem.

Hmm.. this is just for the default status bar.. this might not work with the 1% battery mod that also requires the services.jar editing.... let me see if I can edit that and you can give that a try...

Think I got it... just edited my services.jar from gingerblur v3.5... going to flash and test. If it works, I'll post it.
Should probably note for windows users that "text editor" doesn't mean notepad It'll prolly screw up the line endings and cause problems.
Thanks for the guide though! Good work
This worked great and thanks for the zip file above thumbs up guys

You can give it a try, just use the stock one and not the 1% one.
Make sure you make a backup of your stock setup in CWM first before doing this just in case it doesn't work...

Can someone please edit the services.jar for greyblur so theres no clock in the notification bar? AND IF possible, can you add the 1% battery mod? TIA

Make a backup and then try it... I moved away from Greyblur a while ago and don't want to flash that on my device to see if it works, it should though... but I've only tested these on 1.83...

Yeah, i flashed it a while ago while on greyblur and everything works fine, except the notification pulldown isnt transparent like how greyblurs pull down normally is. The .zip posted is from gingerblur's services.jar i think..

Standing battery without much headache by editing Horizontal icons
Well may not be new but PNGs are always doubtful how they behave...
What I wanted is Standing style battery and I was have very nice battery icons set that was in horizontal style.
I simply opened all of them in a picture manager and Rotated then Clockwise. Done..
and Its working fine with the statusbar and looks good without any loss of png quality.
I liked it..
---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------
In open status bar my Device Shows Date as well (left end of status bar)
Any guide of method to remove that ??
Thankx in advance.
Since tinkering with things is a hobby of mine coupled with an ongoing infatuation with Blender3d I decided I'd spend some time working on a few new boot animations.
Admittedly I only have a basic understanding of the boot animation format but I'm going to render some frames out and see what I can do. Neat stuff is neat.
Here's a few frames from my first test animation..

I've started with a new CM7 boot animation since I use CM7+DalOC+SDcard boot on my own Nook Color.
If anyone has any other ideas or a wishlist drop it in here and I'll see what I can come up with. We are limited by only our imagination.
looks good!
Good job and good luck.
Mmm looks like a green lantern android. Moar plz!
Looks like it's gonna be an awesome boot animation, I've always loved trying out new one, and it looks like this ones gonna be amazing! Awesome work so far, and good luck finishing it off.
I like! Nice start

Hey guys,
First bootanimation is ready to go. This is the full screen .png version. Runs fine on my nook. I tested a smaller res version on my nook and it didn't make much of a difference so I ended up just leaving it full screen.
Quality on the nook is much nicer of course...

part2
Download bootanimation.zip :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SPBBE750
Instructions for installation:
1) Download and install the free E S File explorer on your nook
2) In the settings menu enable all the root options
3) Connect your nook to your computer USB and transfer the bootanimation to a spot you know where to look from E S File explorer
4) On your Nook use E S File explorer to copy the bootanimation.zip from that drop folder to the /data/local directory. You can delete the other bootanimation.zip that is there if you are replacing something.
5) Done. Reboot. Rejoice.
There may be other ways to accomplish the same thing but this is the method I used for my SDcard install.
Hmm, my bootanimation.zip stays in the /system/media folder... Not sure if mines different for some reason, but I've never heard of putting it in the /data/local directory...
Must be different on an SD card install, I'm running off of eMMC.
Oh, and holy crap, that animation is huge! Can't wait to try it out, but my Nook is out of commission at the moment, got it taken by my parents
I'm going to render out a red and cyan version of this same animation since I already have the models, lighting and effects in place. After that I'll probably switch it up with something different.

Sounds great, always loved cyan myself. Wish I could try it out right now!
Edit: hmm, when I go to the download link it tells me the file is temporarily unavailable... Anyone else have it? Could you attach it or post another mirror of it?

My pleasure, it's fun making things like this because it keeps my skills sharp and serves a purpose.
The cyan version is incoming in a day or 2 I just got busy with some other stuff.
I am downloading the red one. My sister and I will love this! Thank you!
OK, now where do I copy this file?
I am running CM7 N107 from SD & don't find any of the folders mentioned. Do I need to be looking at the "Boot" partition? If so, that is only available to me if I put the SD card in my PC. Am I replacing a zip file, or installing this zip via booting into recovery? Please expand on the installation steps.
Thanks,
kev
installation
I didn't install this particular boot animation yet (but Dling ).
The way I accomplished this was to rename original bootanimation.zip to st else (old.bootanimation.zip).
Then copy new animation to the same folder as older one was. Reboot .
I found mine in root-system-media
/system/media
Hope this helps .
P.S. connect NC to PC via cable (or wifi), copy zip file to SD card. Disconnect, open file browser, copy or move zip file to the folder above to replace bootanimation.zip.
Oh one important thing - you need to have rooted NC and have root access - your file browser must have root privileges. I used ES explorer if I rememeber correctly.
Do not unzip or alter the .zip file.

Hi bug,
1) open E S File Explorer
2) set all the root options to enabled and press the home button upper left
it will show a little house when you are in the correct mode
3) scroll till you find the data folder and click on it
4) inside this first data folder will be a Local folder .. click on that to open (not the data folder within the data folder if you have one)
5) insert or copy the new bootanimation.zip over the old one
It's only a few clicks to get this done on a SDcard CM7 install. I'm not sure of the installation of custom boots on the other installs since I haven't used any of those yet.
How bout a cwm flashable zip? Would make the process of installing your boot animations a breeze. Ill try and prep one tomorrow mornning. Unless someone beats me to it. I hope someone does.

Thanks for your response. On my system, the bootanimation.zip is located in system/media.
Problem is when I try to rename the file or paste the new file in the folder I get " Sorry, operation failed."
I get a "failed to mount" when I select "mount File System" under settings.
At launch I saw a message that ES File Explorer had been granted SU Permissions. I am at a loss for what to do now.

At launch I saw a message that ES File Explorer had been granted SU Permissions. I am at a loss for what to do now.

I created this in the Sensation forum. I have spent 1 and a half days creating, coding and running batch files in command prompt to ensure this will work for anyone AND ENSURE IT IS NOOBPROOF FOR EVERYONE.
UPDATE: V2 below, see below for details on changes.
The Lockring kit below is Unique to me and there isnt anything like it out there.
Here is my detailed guide to Modding your own lockscreen. LockRing kit i created is attached below and is COMPATIBLE WITH ANY SENSE 3 ROM OR Sense 3 THEME .

THERE IS VERY LITTLE WORK and NO CODING INVOLVED FOR YOU. ALL YOU DO IS
You put your ROM zip in the place ROM Folder - No need to rename
Place your lockring in lockring folder - No need to rename, just make sure its a PNG file not JPG
then collect the finished file in collect recovery zip folder.
See the video guide in post 2 for how to extract lockring and how to use a new lockring
Batch files in the kit will do all the work for you.
Requirements
-Java (Java Runtime Environment) - You need this otherwise your lockring APK will not be signed and prevent installation in recovery.
-271 x 270 Lockring in PNG File Format - Easiest way to get a lockring is to google a PNG image of what you want as. e.g search for Assassins Creed PNG. Quite alot of PNGs come with a transparent background which is what u need.
1st TIME SET UP
Create a New Folder in C:\ called "Lock_Ring_Kit"
Open the lock ring kit zip file and copy all the files and folders into the folder you just created.
Guide to extract a lockring
To extract a theme and/or lockring from another ROM
IF you have seen A lockring on EVO 3d FORUM
IF you have a really cool ROM or theme and you want to take the lockscreen ring out of it.
STEP 1. Place Your ROM or THEME you want to take lockscreen from Place_ROM_ZIP_HERE
STEP 2. Click 1. Extract APKs_FROM_ROM.bat. This will automatically run 2._decode_from_APK
Step 3. Click 3. Extract lockrings (OPTIONAL).bat.
This will put lockrings from the Rom or theme into the extract_lockscreen folder. you can now use this lockring.
And the rest of the files will be placed in Mod_files_here Folder (more about this below)
Guide to mod your own LockRing
STEP 1. Delete any existing files in Place_ROM_ZIP_HERE and Place Your ROM or THEME in the folder. This will be used as a base.
STEP 2. Click 1. Extract APKs_FROM_ROM.bat. .
Once the APKs have been extracted This will automatically run 2._decode_from_APK
*If you have the apks you want to use as a base then just place them in the Place_APKs_FILE_here Folder and click Decode from APK *
STEP 3. Get your Lockring you want and put it in the Place_Lockring_here folder. Make sure your lockscreen image is flipped vertically(mirror upside down image). e.g
Sense uses upside down lockrings to display them right side up. use the 3.0.1 Flip Lockring with FSResizer.exe to flip it upside down if it isnt already.
STEP 4. Click 3.1 Replace Lockrings.bat. This is to replace the existing lockrings with your lockring
Step 5. Click 4. Encode and create recovery zip.bat.
This will Re-encode your lock ring into the APKs, sign them then produce a signed zip file you can flash in recovery
Step 6. Flash your File in clockwork and enjoy.
Additional Features
Mod_Files_Here Folder you can go into this folder and into the default folder or other skins In this folder you can replace the navigation bar in Sense homescreen, also background for widgets and clock numbers etc. care should be taken u replace pngs with the another of the same dimensions.
Backup and Restore allows u to back up 4 different lock rings + Fusion files and restore them anytime so u can work on different ones at different times,
FS resize will allow u to resize your lock ring to 271x270 and also flip it upside down if it isnt upside down. Make sure you flip not rotate!
Download Lock_Ring_Kit or click the attachment below
BUG FIXED in v2 -->WHEN DRAGGING AN APP TO THE LOCK RING IT WOULD SHOW THE PREVIOUS RING!
Added option to rename lockring zip to whatever you want before it is put in collect here folder
If you get system could not find file error on some occasions, its normal, as i have either asked for it to delete something but the files already deleted
just make sure u follow the process.
Downloading now..thanks for makin this,
Should work well! Good job!

Hey man, thanks for the tool! I cant seem to be able to successfully create a working zip
I am using HighROM as a base as it is a GSM ROM.
I have create a .png image and i'm following the steps but after successful install,
the lockring is the same!!
I must be missing something obviously, I have tried reversing the process, using the xl_viper_lx_Mods.zip and decompiling to check the contents. what I have is
Bluesky, Burgundy, Default are all empty but I have 0x00000d89.dat(showing as my lockring) in the Lock_ring_motion folder
please can you point me in the right direction, cos I can crack this one..
I am not a nooob honest (feelin like one tho!)
Thanks
are you sure you are putting your whole ROM in to the place rom folder.
when u decompile viper mods it should only have two apks.

yeah i'm puting the whole ROM .zip into the place ROM folder,
I have just been reading the sensation thread to see if there are any clues there....
the folders I was talking about are left in the Lockscreen extract after i have decompiled with the tool using the first set of instructions, just to test..If I look in the archive of the .zip I do have just the 2 .apk's in the system\app folder as I should have.
* I have just re-downloaded the tool from the sensation thread and i will try from fresh just run it again from a clean set of tools
come see me

thanks for the post.
will try this tonight when I get home. already have a sweet lockscreen wallpaper, now to change that pesky ring.
Awesome Thanks Viper!
I was having some trouble with extracting the apk's from gsm ROMs, I'm now using the attached base files which work fine.
Viper helped me to work it out on IRC, thanks mate, and we found the tool wasn't extracting the apk's for some reason??
use the files below and it couldn't be easier!!

Another note on the bug: if you have flashed a lockring made using the original lock ring kit, you will have to delete Idlescreen_base.apk (lower case b) from /system/app using root explorer.
Hi there!
I've tried multiple times and also used the base lock ring, combined with the .dat files of my custom lock ring but I can't get it to work. I followed all the steps and all I get errors and no flashable zip.
The only thing I want to change is a simple custom lock ring. There are a zillion different lock rings out there and I can't seem to even get one working. Am I the only one with this problem??
Could someone with the skills please assist me with this as I don´t have the knowledge to see what I am doing wrong.
Please help as I am out of options.. Any tips will be very, very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I've followed the steps more carefully and made the conclusion that I did'nt put the right lockscreen file in the designated folder. Now I've used the right (horizontally 180 and mirrored) png file along with the Orighinal Rom and also with the Base Lock Ring. Now I don't get any errors and everything seems successfull. After completing step 4 there should be a flashable zip in the 'Collect recovery zip here' folder, but this folder stays empty. So maybe someone could point me in the right direction as I am following these steps completely, but no flashable zip is created...
Look in your Mod_files_here folder. Do you have 4 folders with a bunch of png and dat files inside?
Bramgg, I sent you a pm.
Everything seems to go fine until in bat 4. when I get to the part where it is looking for *.apk in Lock_Ring_Kit\M10_Tools\EXTRACTED_APK\Fusion\ It says can't find and that is true when I look it is not there????
It also looks for the *.apk in \Idlescreen_Base\ which is not there either???
The bat then continues merrily along "adding" stuff until it gets to "Signing APKs and then it says that " 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. In the next line it says "The System cannot find the file specified."
It then goes back to the fact that it can't find the two original files and then says "0 files copied."
Then back to building the flash zip and adding files coming then to signing the flash zip and then the same comment about 'java".
It then asks for the name of the Lockring Mod Zip file and that is about the end of the process. Even if you provide a name for the file it doesn't work and there is no zip file to retreive.
I have Java 6, build 29 on my Windows 7 home premium machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This is an excellent guide, thanks for this!
How To Implement 1% Battery Mod On Your Rom
What is 1% Battery Mod
1% battery mod allows your battery % icon to decrease in 1% increments
Stock roms and some custom roms dont have this so the battery % icon jumps from 100% to 79% then 64% 49% 34% 19% and 4%
So this mod allows your rom to display 100% 99% 98% 97% and so on down to 1% with pngs that look as follows

Did you decompile framework-res.apk with apktool? you cant just unzip a file to replace xml files you must decompile
how did you flash it?
did you put it in a flashable zip and flash it in cwm with system mounted?
no reason why you would loose your statusbar
if you just replaced framework-res.apk with a root browser its not a good idea to do that - if you did that did you set the correct permissions rw-r-r
either flash your origional framework-res.apk back
or restore your nandroid backup
then try again
remember framework-res.apk goes in system/framework in the flashable zip folder - give me a min and I will upload a flashable zip and instructions on the op
update - template added to op for flashable zip

Its always better to flash the files in cwm with system mounted
Also if you push manually you need to set the permission of the apk to rw-r-r
You also need to use the pngs in the zip provided or another pack that contain the exact same number of pngs with the exact same file names - these filenames match the path in the xml files
Your rom may also have other framework mods which are pointing to different locations for the pngs

Yeah. I have the complete pngs of battery icons that i would like to replace, my only problem is on the xml's when I will just use the xml's of Hyperion9 there would be no problem but the battery is draining by 100-90-80-70% and so on, then I would like to apply your xml's attached to be able to implement the 1% battery draining.
I can attach my framework-res.apk in here just to be able to fix about the xml's problem. :3
can you help me figure it out? if you only have time, but if you're busy its okay. Thank you.

like I said - the names of the pngs must match exactly
use the pngs provided - if they work your pngs or named wrong
also galaxy y is ldpi so you should place these pngs in the res-ldpi folder or create it - also copy them into the other res folders just to make sure - android will choose the correct folder for you

Yeah. they say but why our's is on hdpi? haha tss! so can I erase all the battery icons on hdpi and changed it to ldpi?
wait I'm just editing it on phone using Ninjamorph is it advisable? because I heard it on recompiling xml script should turn into alien binary script language. XD

you need to use apktool to decompile the apk and recompile the apk as written in my instructions
Im guessing when you are using ninjamorph you are simply replacing the xml - you cannot do this - the apk need properly decompiling and recompiling
I cannot support any other method other than using apktool

This tutorial is for lock screen modification to Nabi 2 NABI2-NV7A US or UK version although only confirmed working with US version. Although the steps would be identical for either version, just don’t have a UK Nabi 2 to test my theory.
I created this thread in hope that if anyone use this tutorial they will provide a picture of lock screen and also share their flashable zip file for the entire Nabi community. If sharing flashable zip files the naming convention has to match the firmware version as I have done below.
A couple of tools & files will be required first and I have provided links to downloads.
• 7-zip
• apkmultitool
• nabi_circle.png
• empty_framework.zip
I will start with the apk multi tool, I have to give kudos to the developer of this tool, super easy to use; if possible consider making a donation and continue supporting the development of this tool. Currently using Windows 7 64 OS so all instructions will be for Window users.
1) After download of tool, extract to the root of C:\
2) Make sure you have USB debugging checked in Nabi found in Settings\Developers options
3) Connect tablet and go C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\setup.bat and follow instruction 1 thru 3
4) After the 3 steps go to C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\other you will find the framework-res.apk & SystemUI.apk
5) Copy and paste framework-res.apk to C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding now click the Scipt.bat hit enter; then option 9 Decompile apk
6) Then you will find the decompiled apk in C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\projects
The files to edit with your pictures are found here, go and replace the png files listed below.
C:\APK-Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw600dp-mdpi
A. fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png
B. fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png
C. nabi_circle.png
D. unlock_directions.png (Optional)
The fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png & fuhu_ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png have to be 1024 x 552 px. and they both have to be the same picture.The nabi_circle.png 184 x 238 has to be replaced with a transparent.png for simplicity I have provided a download link to one. Also the unlock_directions.png is optional that file is 120 x 120 px by replacing all these files you can create your own custom lock screen mod. What I did is I renamed all my png files to default names.
If you want to change default wallpaper, which is 1536 x 1024 px
C:\APK-Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-sw600dp-nodpi
1. After you have edited your files; then enter the cmd and choose option 11 Compile system apk files. Then it will ask if you would like to copy additional files that you didn’t modify from the original apk in order to ensure least # of errors (y/n)
2. Enter y
3. Now go back to C:\APK-Multi-Tool\keep and delete the files you have modified then hit enter
4. You will now find a unsignedframework-res.apk file in C:\ APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding
5. Place this file in different folder (example minions) rename to framework-res.apk
6. Grab the empty_framework.zip open this with 7-zip without unzipping and drag the framework-res.apk in emty_framework.zip\system\framework\drag here.
If your emty_framework.zip is only showing META-INF folder just click file top left of 7-zip and then "create folder" system repeat again and create framework folder, then open that folder and drag framework-res.apk there. 7-zip will ask are you sure you want to copy file just click yes.
If you want to modify the updater script you can extract into your computer and modify it with notepad and change the name of the lockscreen, this will be able to be read in recovery. If you don’t take this last step it will say “Installing custom lockscreen”. The updater script can be found in
empty_framework.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
Here are a few lockscreens that are only for firmware 2.3.11 enjoy

Hi.
I had posted this in one of the general forums since I didn't have access at the time to post in the development forums.. I'll post this here as well now that I can..
Question on the process to change the default kids mode wallpaper in the lockscreen process on the Nabi2's since moving to Jellybean.
katinatez's excellent process for the lock screen portion works fine (THANK YOU for sharing this, BTW)
End result:
I am trying to add a custom wallpaper into the apk when I change the lockscreen.
The file I am targeting is called default_wallpaper_kid.png and it is 1024x552.
The file is located in 2 folders:
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
and
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi
I change these 2 files, recompile and follow the rest of the process as normal. Flash install onto the Nabi2 in TWRP and reboot. I still get the same default blue block kids mode wallpaper.
I've gone back and pulled the framework back off of the Nabi once I did the install and the changed wallpapers are in fact there. I can't figure out where the Nabi is pulling the standard blue block default wallpaper from since I verified that I replaced the files that I thought it should be.
I should note that I had previously changed the wallpaper during another lock screen install, so I'm stumped as to why I'm not able to change it now. And yes, I could just simply copy the wallpaper over to the Nabi and set it as wallpaper from there but it's bugging me as to why the process isn't working.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi.
I had posted this in one of the general forums since I didn't have access at the time to post in the development forums.. I'll post this here as well now that I can..
Question on the process to change the default kids mode wallpaper in the lockscreen process on the Nabi2's since moving to Jellybean.
katinatez's excellent process for the lock screen portion works fine (THANK YOU for sharing this, BTW)
End result:
I am trying to add a custom wallpaper into the apk when I change the lockscreen.
The file I am targeting is called default_wallpaper_kid.png and it is 1024x552.
The file is located in 2 folders:
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi
and
framework-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi

Someone else asked this question a long time ago. I can't find that answer searching(can't remember enough words from that post), it seems something like it was already cached since it was the apk, so it didn't pick up the change. I can't remember if the solution was to wipe caches or something like that or clear some data in an app in settings. Or maybe neither and I remember nothing..... LOL.
I believe the blue block wallpaper you are talking about, is in fact the NabiMode.apk default wallpaper.
Take the NabiMode.apk decompile & go thru steps replacing with whatever wallpaper you want for kids launcher wallpaper.
You will also find Madagascar wallpaper inside the NabiMode.apk
Good luck
Thanks guys -- I'll try to poke around with it later tonight when I get home.
Appreciate the info.

Remember to make backup with twrp before you start making changes.

Yeah, I've learned to do that the hard way..
Thanks!
Well, I pulled NabiMode.apk and decompiled it and found where the kids mode wallpaper is kept. I don't know about tinkering with the apk though as the data/addon_res folders are read only and I'm not sure that I want to get into playing around with figuring out how to push to a read only folder at this point - MUCH easier to just copy the wallpaper over to the Nabi and set it.
Thx guys!
My Little Pony Lockscreen
My daughter is in a new phase, she just turned 4 years old and absolutely loves My Little Pony, so I created a new lockscreen mod.

Same steps outlined in guide, just no time. It's up to you.
I don't think this member can post here yet but take a look at some 2.4 lockscreens

Hi
BIt out of my depth with this but in updating the nabi2 from Jellybean to KitKat the lockscreen changed and it will upset my boy as he has autism. So planning to do this.
FIrstly, the apkmultitool ink seems broken does anyone have it please?
Secondly, I got the original lockscreen download as a zip in another thread from SMcC2 does that mean I can avoid a big bit of this tutorial??
Thank you for any help please.
Alex
Edit: Does me being on kitkat mean none of this will work ?
