Does anyone know what files in the framework (I'm guessing) need to be edited to adjust the auto brightness settings?

values/arrays.xml in framework-res.apk. you'll see the brightness levels towards the bottom of the xml
Thanks, but I don't see a values folder. Or even an arrays.xml in any folder.

you have to decompile the apk first. You have to use apktool to decompile it. It is a process. http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
Once you decompile the apk.. you'll see the Values folder with the xml files.
follow the instructions from the above link. After installing the required tool files, install the framework file (there is instructions on how to do that in the link).. and then decompile the framework-res.apk file.
or use apk manager
Ok, I'll try that, I can pretty much only use my computer at work for internet so I'll have to do that when I get home. I have both of those on my computer already. Thanks.
More info here, but for a different phone.
Alright, so I've found and edited the file. But when I try to put back on the framework my phone won't boot. I've never really had good luck with these apk programs. I've tried it with and without signing. I've tried it with and without deleting the resources.arsc file. And I've tried adb pushing and trying it in a zip file. Anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Should I maybe use a different compression level? I'm out of ideas. Thanks.
BAMF roms have auto brightness tweaked.
Keep in mind though, it does have some side effects, such as slow to resume to correct brightness if you tap the screen when it dims, just before shutting off.

Yeah, your ROMs and and Perfect Storm ROMs is where I got the idea. I'm trying to learn about these things. I have my framework set up in a way that I really like it for now, on your Stripped ROM. I've been trying to get this thing set up exactly how I like it. For now I just want to adjust that and then figure out 1 or 2 other things, then I think I'm set. The only other thing I can think of right now is the text color in the pulldown menu.
Hey adrynalyne. I'm sorry for being an ass over on the GPS thread. Will you please come back.
I just have the stomach flue and I was wrong to be so dismissive. If you can help us, please come back. I'll answer all the questions you want to ask without being a smartass.
It looks like the app you recommended worked for some already, and if you know how to sort though a logcat for android, you are much better suited to help than anyone so far (including myself by far..)

Do not resign the apk. Instead copy the android manifest and META-INF folder from the original apk. Then push in adb.
That should work.

Ok, so I spent all day researching this and didn't get a clear answer so I figured I just bring it to you guys. What I'm trying to do is edit some of the battery xml files in the framework-res.apk. I tried using apktool to decompile the apk, edit the file and then recompile the apk, but I always get an error. Read some stuff on that sdk might do it, but I could never get it to run (wore out when I tried lol). So now I'm stuck. Spent all day writting the exstensive xml file but can't do anything with it. This is my new hurrdle in theming and would really appreciate some help from you great people
Thanks in advance.

A lot of themes/rom frameworks won't recompile after decompiling them due to funky .9 pngs.
What I do is just take Stock KB1 (for instance) frameworks, and decompile/compile them with changes I made and just take the changes from the compiled one and add them to my working one. Did that make sense?
So. Decompile KB1, make changes, compile it back. Open it up, take your new files & put them in your framework you're working on.
The above method is a little trickier when dealing with things in the values folder, but you can still apply it with some logic
Let me know if you need me to clear anything up
Yeah, when I recompile I leave it all in the project folder in apktool. Select the xml I'm editing from there as well and save it there too.

No I get it. Use stock to let recompile the xml to binary. Pull it from there and then add it to the framework I actually want to change correct?

hmm, when you copied to folders did it ask to replace existing? I pulled that out of Gassadena I think, standby I'll post Glasstopia, see if that works
I tried ones from both Glassadena and Glasstopia. I am overwriting the old and have tried both of these twice. Last shot - I wiped Dalvik to see if that would make a differance. I also used root explorer and searched for all instances of MMS on my phone and didnt find anything hiding anywhere else Damn this MMS it is hard to work with!
Yeah i don't know what to tell you, never had that much trouble. This might eork might not, go into glassadena or glasstopia zip and see if there is a copy in data and one in system, if so maybe move both to your corresponding folder? long shot but at least then you'll know if you need a copy in both, because if it has one in both then you know you do too
Hi all,
did some searching but couldn't find any info on this pertaining specifically to the att version of the gs2.
i've tried nearly all the ROMs in the android development section and found that there's always one or two things in each of them that drive me nuts. i've been running unnamed for the past month or so and that's been by far the best of them but there's a couple things that drive me crazy about it.
so i'm planning on returning to stock 2.3.4 using entropy's 1/2 experimental kernel because i think that is what works best for me.
however, i really like how all of the custom ROMs disable the battery full notification which used to wake me up every night. is there any way to disable this notification without turning off vibrate or running a custom ROM? again, just to re-iterate i plan on using a rooted version of the stock 2.3.4 with entropy's dd. thanks!
Yup decompile systemui.apk and edit statusbarpolicy.smali just delete the line that reads:
invoke-direct*{p0},*Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy;->addFullChargeNotification()V
Recompile the apk. Push the file to system/app, reboot and you'll be good to go

You have to be rooted. Use root explorer and go to system/app/SystemUI.apk and extract it. After you do that go to where you extracted it and go into the folder then go to res/drawable-hdpi and find the two icons with the gps icon ( stat_sys_location_e911_2.png and stat_sys_location_on_2.png). Rename both of those to .bak and then back out of those folders back to SytemUI and rezip it. Then copy it to system/app and change the permissions to the screenshot I have. Change the permissions quickly because systemui.apk will crash. If it does just do a battery pull and restart your phone. You'll be good to go then. If you get lost anywhere let me know of any questions.

I got all the way until the end, and when I paste the zip file in system/app, I changed permissions, but it just shows up as a zip file, not an apk. I see both SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.zip in the same file. Both permissions are the same. Rebooted and the icon is still there. Where did I go wrong?
Edit: It looks as though it's recreating the .png's in addition to the .bak files I made. Not sure if it's because of the odex'd SystemUI file that's also in there?
I'd post a screenshot but for some reason I can't post them. It's saying "image upload is no longer working" and to update the app, even though I already have xda premium.

The file you edited is a zip. The instructions he made were a little confusing for people that don't know about apks. You need to change the file extension from .zip to .apk and then push it. This will replace the current apk.

After a reboot, I got no wallpaper and no notification shade at all...I must have messed something up. I tried using ES File Manager with root enabled. Is the unzipping and zipping different between ES and "Root File Explorer"?
I am just familiar with ES and like the way it handles most things, it would be good to know in the future. Thanks!
There's always been problems with ES. Root Explorer is kind of the standard.

I did the whole process using root explorer, and I also had my wall paper reset back to the default. My notifications seem to be fine.
Also worth mentioning, I first copied the file as a .ZIP into the proper location, then changed the permissions, then renamed the original as a .Bak, then renamed the new one from .ZIP to .APK, then rebooted. I'm not sure if doing it that way made a difference or not.

Push meaning replace it with the original file, right?
I never made a backup of my original systemUI apk, although i got one from another thread where the wifi toggle icon is added to the notification shade screen. Are all the systemUI's teh same, or is there something in there unique to the device?
I will be doing this later today, too. That icon annoys me, but I need the alarm one.
