Any here that can pull the framework-res.apk from their phone and post it here? I wanna chamge some color tones on my missy's phone in the weekend here where she is gone, and offcause she took the phone with her before i had a chance to pull the file myself..
Any that can help?
For the mini or the mini pro?
Here's at least the one for Mini Pro: mediafire.com/?48w5y9d7sj2pxa8
Would be really nice if you could share the result with us as well (or at least let us know if it worked).
It is actually for the X10 Mini, not the pro i need, but ill look into the file and see if they are compatible..
Basicly, the easy way to get the blue menu away is simply make a script in Photoshop that desaturate the pictures. They will get a nice gray look with a simple click.. Ill try making that and repost the file.
What ive been reading, but not tested myself yet, is that you edit the pictures to what ever you feel they should look without changing size X by Y and merge them back into the apk with winzip, winrar, b2z or whatever you are using to look into the apk with. Then you don't need to sign the file again and you can push it back to your phone..
Ill keep you posted.. Thanks again for the file..
Meep meep..
You must have root on your phone and you use this at your own risk. The file is for X10 Mini Pro. No idea if it works on non pro...
So, i pulled the blue colors from all the pictures.
Make a backup of the /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your device first..
The files are back in the apk and should be uploaded to your /system/framework folder on your phone.
Change permissions on the file to 755 and reboot your device.
Sould now all be gray instead of blue..

Here it is, firmware is E10i 1.6 1.0.A.1.37 (X10 mini black)
Could you port the linked theme I mentioned in gray theme thread ?
I can upload rest of themed files i.e. Contacts,Calendar,Messaging etc.
P.S. not much reason backing up original file if you gonna try changing it. If file won't work you will end up with sony-ericsson white writting on the screen and you should flash with Windows SE Update Service (press home+back together, than power button when asked to connect phone). Titanium backup is the way to restore settings.
Changing file back won't be possible cause "su" crashes in this mode, so /system is not re-mountable and thus u can't copy original file back.
Still, flashing takes less than a minute, and its quite safe to try themes.

But if it works and you still want to change back it would probably be nice to have the original file.
Ok I've done a little research on this but can't find what I'm looking for exactly.
I really don't like the Blur Contacts app. I have figured out how to filter things correctly so I only get my usual Google contacts but I'd still like to get one feature back that I had on CM - direct dial and direct text message shortcuts. They were supported through the AOSP Contacts app from what I can figure out. The Blur Contacts app has something similar but it doesn't work consistently. Does anyone know if it's possible to install the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk extracted from CM 6.1.1 (what I had on my EVO) and bring them over to my rooted Atrix?
I'd like a different contacts manager as well. This one combines services which is not what I want/need. Any suggestions that are similar to CM contacts on N1 would be appreciated!
+1 more here for a different contacts app.

I'd also love the AOSP dialer

I tired this few days ago, nothing worked. =/
Click install throws an error and says it can't be installed. Pushing the apk to /system just has no result.
Moto's contacts are terrible.
How to Install Android AOSP Apk, in any system.
Find the AOSP apps from a CM6 build by unzipping and pulling the .apk file like browser.apk. Install "File Expert" (Free and amazing file browser with full root access and alteration capabilities application)
Copy the .apk you wish to have on to your phones SD Card
Run File Expert,
hit menu/more/File Explorer settings. Then check "Root Explorer" on the bottom.
hit menu/more/mount/Mount As Read Write
Browse to /System/Apps Find the App you wish to replace with the AOSP version.
Hold Down on the App and when the options come up choose file operations and rename to something like application name.apk.bak
Browse to your SD Card find your app. hold down to choose file operation then choose copy.
Go back to /System/Apps then hit Menu button and choose paste.
Locate the app you just pasted and hold down on it and in file operations choose "permissions" Check Everything and exit out of File Expert
Note: You may need to redo the shortcuts for the app on your desktop and or launcher.
Note: Must have a rooted phone.
Note: 2.3.3 apps may or may not work on 2.2 Android Roms and vice versa.
Note: if this causes errors or failures delete the new apk and rename the old apk to its original name.
Good luck!!
can someone upload the contacts apks?

Download the latest Cyanogen mod for your phone or any. Unzip on your pc and go to the folder labeled system/apps. Get the apps you want from there and pass them to your phone via USB to your phone then follow my previous instructions.
I have already tried to install a different dialer/contacts app. I had no luck, I think that the stock dialer/contacts are to deeply tied into motoblur and the phone system. It won't break your system but you just will not have a dialer or contacts.
Did you try it to my exact instructions. Making sure to you the cyanogen mod that corresponds to your version of android? If it didnt show up on your list you may have tried the 2.3.3 instead of s2.2 dialer.
Oh, I would love to hear the solution to this. I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. I pulled Contacts.apk from a Liberty backup I have and have been trying to replace BlurContacts.apk with it to no avail. I believe someone above may have touched on it. Possibly to change when other things look for BlurContacts, and instead refer to Contacts.apk?
I have tried several different contact apps. None work I think that the blur apps are to deeply tied into the system to allow a change.
Bump
any progress ??

I've actually been using GoContacts. It seems to work like how I want my contacts to work(I.E like ASOP) plus allows for a little bit more tweakability.
Discontinued. The latest versions of all previously supported ROMs have this functionality built in.
This gives you an over-scroll glow when you reach the end of a list.
I really hope you knew that before clicking on this thread.
Example if you don't know what I'm talking about
It's just a modified framework.jar with modified files allowing the over-scroll to work and the correct glow images assigned to it. Theming is very easy, just colorize the over-scroll glow pngs in framework-res.apk. The default is orange.
What I want to do with this thread is sort of have a place where you can find the over-scroll enabling mod for every popular ROM for our phones. If you think I should support a ROM that I currently don't, then please post in the forums because I read every post! Ask to put a ROM on the wishlist. Upload the ROM's framework-res.apk and framework.jar files and I'll work on it when I'm not busy with school.
Currently, the wish list is:
Stock KH7
[Update on 10/15/11] UnNamed v1.0.1 compatible files uploaded. Give them a try. Honorable mention to quarlow
Installation:
BACK UP YOUR OLD FRAMEWORK.JAR
Because I'll just laugh at you if you complain that your phone won't boot up.
>>>ADB:
Code:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/framework/
cp framework.jar framework.jar.backup
exit
exit
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
>>>ROOT EXPLORER:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
Okay, now you can theoretically do this, but why would you want to? You'll get lots of crashes and might mess something important up.
Go to: /system/framework/ and rename framework.jar to something else. Go back to where-ever you saved my modified framework.jar and copy it over to /system/framework/ and change the permissions of the new framework.jar to match the old one. I'm pretty sure it's rw-r--r--, but don't quote me on that. + Restart your phone.
Simba501 has a more indepth tutorial on how to install this mod through Root Explorer here
>>>RECOVERY (preferred):
Flash the one specific to the ROM you're running
Whatever method you choose, know that it will take a stupidly long time for your phone to boot-up. Don't worry though, it'll be worth the wait.
Yoderk created some cool themes for the over-scroll glow for Cognition Beta-4 which you can find HERE.
UnNamed 1.0.1 works with 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 as well.
Also, please remember to say THANKS if I helped you!
cwm please!!

It's there if you REALLY need it. I haven't tested it and to be honest, it's been a very very long time since I made my last CWM compatible file. Maybe it works though, try it out. If not, then use one of the other methods.
Fine work sir! Works well on Cog Beta 4.

That's awesome! Someone test it on stock w/ root, because if it works there, I'll be amazed.
Confirming that the cwm flashable zip works on cog beta 3!
Working fine here. I'm technically on Beta 1, but I've manually added the components I wanted from each Beta update because there were things I didn't want.
I have a suggestion. I don't know why everyone repeats that method for using root explorer. That's a terrible way to do it. I always use root explorer to manually replace my files and have never experienced any issues. Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing modded files:
1. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (in this case, system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. In this case, the permissions are RW-R-R, which in root explorer, means that the first two boxes on the first line are checked and only the first box on the next two lines are checked.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and that the permissions also match what it is replacing.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .
Cwm file worked great on cog beta 4. Thnkz!!

Thanks! I added your tutorial to the OP.
Well if your like me and hate orange! Then here are two framework-res.apk with a blue and green overscroll color. Just rename them to framework-res.apk and overwrite the original file in system/framework.
Do not forget to back up original file! I claim no responsibility to problems.
Very subtle but a very nice touch...kudos...came zip worked great!!!

Alright this may be Cog4 only... if you want, upload your framework.jar and framework-res.apk and I'll mod it for you and let me know if that works.

Yes. Those need the tw-framework to be modified and I haven't taken a look at those yet since I'm trying out Perception for a couple of days and that already has it coded in? But it isn't a problem per-say, it's just how Samsung decided to code those specific apps and there isn't a way to implement them in 2.3.4 without breaking the slide left to call, slide right to message, feature. 2.3.5 Roms have that built in on Samsung apps.
Problem probably isn't the best word.
Thanks for answering though. I always wanted the overscroll but having mixed bothered me.

There's a leaked 2.3.5 ROM for the i777 but personally I'm using designgear's Perception which is a port of a i9100 ROM and it works perfectly. I'd recommend the latter since leaked ROMs tend to have problems.

could you modify the framework.jar for UnNamed v1.0.1 - First ever well documented and open source stock derived rom? It has the extended power menu and if I overwrite the framework.jar using this it will break that extended power menu. Much thanks for getting the overscroll glow!!

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have ICS browser on Froyo? I've heard alot of good things about ICS browser, hence I was wondering.
Thanks
Hold on, I'm going to see if I can get it to work on my phone even though I'm 2.3.7 (Gingerbread)....
Load it up here (I don't have the APK) and I'll give it a shot on Froyo tonight and let you now.
Doesn't work (at least on 2.3.7 Firmware), it won't even show up on the home screen. Although I didn't expect it to work, I'm kind of disappointed...
I've uploaded the .apk, and "phrozenflame" if you want to try it yourself this is what you do...
1. Download the browser.apk and put it in somewhere
2. Open the app Root Explorer (if you don't have it download it for 3.99$ from the AM)
3. Follow this directory "/System/App" then copy the "browser.apk" in this folder and back it up to somewhere on your SD card (Directory: "/sdcard").
4. Copy the newly downloaded "browser.apk" and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
5. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
6. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read (See attached image for visual)
7. Click Okay
8. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.
By the way, if you want ICS there is an ICS ROM in development. So far it's coming together nicely (but until they fix video recording I'm not trying it). Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961
Cheers, many thanks guys!
would flash be broken if it did work?
I'm pretty sure all the improvements are under the hood and in framework

Hi,
since my last Nightly Update, i get weird slide effect when i close the apps with home or back button. Normally the apps just decrease their size until i see my homescreen, but now they "slide" to the homescreen... sorry i dont know how to describe it hopefully anyone can understand me
push
Check out the theme section, there is some transition MODs.
Also, I don't know what ROM you use,
Extract a /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your system and the ROM you used before or some "normal "ROM
Open it up by winRAR or anything similar
Go to /Res/animation of normal ROM , extract all XML files and replace it into the framework-Res.apk that you are currently using, and then put it back into system, remember to set permission properly or use flashable zip via recovery.
Do backup first before you do anything
