Hello guys, i cant flash zip files for battery mod on KF2 that used to work on KF7. can anyone tell me why isnt it working on KF2 ? and how to make it work? i have crt effect but i cant get the battery mod working
Hello,
I have the same problem.
To change the CRT animation, you have to modify the framework-res.apk file.
The same file is edited when you change the battery icon, so the former changes are always overwritten.
I don't know how to do. It seems that you can enable the CRT animation just by editing one of the file in the framework-res APK. But I can't find this file in the archive (bools.xml).
If anyone has some tips, please share them.

dude i can upload my framework-res.apk if you want, coz i have the CRT animation on my [email protected]
Thank you, I already have it too. What is missing is the battery mod, because if I flash a zip file then the CRT animation would disappear.

if the CRT animation is the only thing that goes away while the battery mod doesn't work, u r lucky coz for me i get loads of FC's if i do that. and then i have to flash the rom again.. im on stock KF2 btw n u? n by any chance have u tried UOT Kitchen?
I'm on Villain ROM 2.0 with XXKG1. I do not get any FCs, though. The latter modification just cancels the former.
And yes, every battery mod I made was done with UOT.

If you are in Download Mode and getting the Signature related error then you probably didn't flash the ZImage from the rooted kernel after flashing to stock/Samsung signed kernel to get rid of the Yellow triangle. So flash it, the ZImage from SD card.

I have been looking for the last couple days for this...
I want to simply flash a Kernel that will allow me to load my custom "bootanimation.zip" file into system/media and it show on boot-up. The catch is, I don't care to do this by flashing a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the ROM's that these guys have created, I just don't want to go crazy with them. I want to make my own mix of greatness!
I did the update over Kies Mini, but then flashed the deodexed KA7 stock ROM from the Bible (In development). So it's the stock kernel that came with the KA7 build that I'm running.
I need to know what Kernel is compatible with the KA7 ROM
OR
how do i modify the system myself to make it work with custom bootanimation.zip files??
Any help is appreciated!!!

you can use any 2.2. kernel (most, if not all, support bootanimation.zip) with any 2.2 firmware/ROM. just keep a heads up because a lot of kernels flash their own modem. So if you flash a kernel that flashes a modem besides KA7, you would have to reflash KA7 manually if you want to keep it.
I would PERSONALLY recommend Eugene's Dead Horse kernel....just read before you flash!!!

I've flashed the deodexed KB1 ROM as well as the new KB1 Kernel + Voodoo by supercurio. I have his kernel specifically because it says in the main post "Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)"
I love voodoo... but that's beside the point!
I've copied my bootanimation.zip folder (zipped using store mode, uncompressed) into the system/media folder on my phone and deleted the two samsungbootloop files in there. The damn thing still doesn't play the animation! I only have a 'part0' folder which houses all images labeled 'welcomanimation_0000' with progressing numbering. Permissions set are RWXRWXRW- as they are on most the custom ROM bootanimations I see around.
My 'desc' file has EXACTLY THIS in it:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
which was pulled straight from another ROM's bootanimation files!
I don't get it! What in the world am I missing??
It's irritating seeing all of these great boot animations and I can't get my own one working... anyone know what I'm screwing up?
Edit: I'm going to try flashing a custom bootanimation file and simply replacing their file with my file and see if there is something in their script in the flashing process that get's modified that I'm not doing myself through root explorer. Respond and let me know if that is a bad idea... I plan on trying it in about an hour after getting some crap done around the house.
Well... for anyone else that has had this issue...
Downloading an already packaged bootanimation file from one of these lovely moders... replacing their bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and packaging it all back up in a flashable zip folder worked like a charm! Thank you to whomever it was I took the file from... if I knew how to package a file to be flashable, I probably would have done it myself, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of learning.
Problem Solved!
Hello i have the stock 2.3.4 gingerbread installed and tried the crt lock animation tutorial but not working. Does it only with the coderomv1 working because that file isnt avail for download or is there any other way to get that cool animation. i installed the coderomv1_default.zip but nothing has changed i think because i not installed the coderom himself.
Hope to help me out i want that crt lock animation it is really cool.

This will not work by default in stock.You have to change one binary value in bools.xml in framework-res.apk and then edit build.prop.Follow this tutorial and then edit build.prop.

I made all steps but not working on 2.3.4 but i saw something is it normal that when i paste with root explorer the build.prop file to the system folder it shows the old on with old date etc. i have the clue that maybe it doesn´t copy it in the folder??? Dunno but it is always the same date there. My phone is rooted.

Did you use apktool to edit the values,put resources.arsc in the original and then copied modified framework-res.apk into the /system/framework/framework-res.apk ? Was it copied there? If not check that root explorer is mounted in read/write mode.Same for build.prop.I think you didn't copy it.

I made all steps wisely result is a bootloop with white screen
I am sick of it!!
I tried all stuff but that **** animation will not work.
I think it only works if the coderomv1 is flashed with the stock rom there is no way to get that animation working i tried all with the framework-res.apk no success with a theme no success i give up now no crt animation for me because i don´t know what can i do only flashing the coderomv1 but that i wouldn´t do because i not want the coderomv1.

You had to set permisssions after copying framework-res.apk -rw -r -r.same with build.prop
With CRT animation enabled,you will lose your samsung boot screen in stock kph....I have managed to enable boot screen animation only through cf-root kernel.I don't have coderom but crt is enabled through this method and have brought custom boot animation through cf-root kernel.
So guys did everything and downloaded the UOT I created. When trying to install it as a zip I had an issue. When I went to install zip from sd card it showed the UOT file but when I clicked on it, it just opened up in to 4 further folders. The system and meta and all that. So then I went to install zip from internal sd card and it appeared to work however it said status 0 and installation aborted... Whats going on?
Edit: Saw the workaround where you put the binary file in the UOT Zip, did so and now I get the "Bad error."
Everything is good thanks guys
I don't have any experience with UOT kitchen, but I do know update zips. After you placed the binary in the zip, did you resign it? Not doing so may be your problem.
Resign it? Sorry Im not sure what these means, still kind of amateur? Can you explain hah

By default our recovery doesn't check if the zip is signed, so this probably isn't the problem.
Alright. I pm'd the link to my buddy so he could see if the file is okay, so ill let you guys know if its okay.

What ROM are you running?
I'm having the same issue, what did you do to correct it? I've tried the binary and resigning it.
Anyone else know who to get files cooked from the kitchen scripted for Eclipse v.0.1?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
If you do not know what UOT Kitchen is, just google is... its phuckin awesom, you can change anything on your phone from the boot ani to battery icon, black status bar, noto icons, pull down bars ... tons of crap.... just not sure why the scripts wont work.

It Says At The Kitchen's Website If You Get The "Status 0" Error To Copy The ROMs "update-binary" And Replace Theirs. As The Two Pictures Dictate Where You Can Find The ROMs update-binary To Copy And Replace The Kitchen's. (Your Rom Maybe Different Than Mine. You Need To Find "YourRom'sName.zip")

Yeah thanks guys, sorry I didnt get on to say I fixed it.. But I already installed a new UOT, and Im having another problem! lol. I installed a uot and when I did it just says installing update...and doesnt change.
My ROM does not have an update-binary.....
I have made progress though.. Seems like the battery mod was conflicting with the CRT animation.
I was able to cook a moded black status bar with some tweaks.....
Anyway to remove the "Verizon Wireless" from the stock status bar? it bleeds threw....
Also... have trouble with boot animation..... it will not flash no mater what I try.
Its located in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
the flashable zip from UOT gives an systax error.... can I just manualy delete the old bootain and copy the new one pulled from the UOT Zip?
Can I do this with a root explorer? or do I need to do ADB?
**EDIT** I was able to delete system/media/bootanimation.zip and put the new "Bios Boot" one there... boots up like an old PC... its awesom... now if I can get the status bar overlap fixxed... and icons and battery

Where do I find SystemUI.apk?
EDIT: Durp! Found it...
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the color of the text in pop up menus. It's ruining my theme. Any help?
Hi there! I tried to mod the appearance of my phone using the UOT Kitchen. But am stuck after creating my UOT ZIP file. I assumed we have to flash the UOT Zip file using CWM Recovery mode. I tried that, and it fails to install the zipped files due to a "signature error". Any idea how to fix this?
The UOT Kitchen site does give a workaround to this problem, saying in case of error, we can manually replace the META-INF file zipped inside the UOT file with the Meta-Inf file which can be extracted from the phone's ROM. I am on KF3 Rooted, and extracting the KF3 ROM only gives some Bin files......so my problem is how to find the original META-INF file? Anyone knows this?
So no one has used the UOT Kitchen mods for their SGS II here? No answers?
Do you have a link to the UOT Kitchen thread?
Hi, Johncmolyneux. Thanks for your reply. Yes, now I have it and have posted my question there also. But that thread has 426 pages and am not sure how soon I'll get a reply there. So I'm hoping someone may see my query here also and reply. So waiting for a useful answer on either of these threads now. Thanks.
I installed a UOT Kitchen Mod, my 1st time
I probably did something wrong...unless they just don't work but I doubt that because one or 2 of the options are for SGS2 specific roms
Anyways, I got stuck in boot loop and had to restore everything
I might try again later when I have more info about it
i am using the uot kitchen online without any issues. uploading files that they need. always work like a charm!
I have used uot kitchen with both stock, vr and cm7, almost always worked perfect, had to untick generate preview for theme closer for cm7 though.

do it here mate
http://uot.dakra.lt/
and upload
framework-res.apk
SystemUI.apk
twframework-res.apk
pick what ever u want...if your rom supports costum bootanimation u can do that 2. but the lockscreens aint working anyway enough to make the ROM diferent
as said a few post up; always upload framework-res.apk , systemUI.apk and twframework-res.apk when generating a theme with UOT Kitchen.
Also DO NOT forget to always wipe cache and dalvik-cache in CWM prior to apply the generated zip (wipe cache, dalvik-cache then flash the zip, and after that reboot ).
a few selected set of icons sometimes not apply properly with our SGS2 (kalagas mainly is a bit tricky for that )
if manually correcting the unchanged images is outside of your possibilities, ask in the UOT thread, they are generally really helpfull and Mendozinas respond generally really quickly
as Hunteres said, lockscreen don't work for us, as Quick settings in the notifications tab(that is for Sense Rom) everything else works generally like a charm
All done yesterday itself. There was only a small issue of disabling signature verification and Mendozinas replied pretty quickly. Other than Boot Animation, Lock screen everything else works on a Stock KF3 Kernel. You don't even need to wipe the cache/Dalvik cache before flashing. It's optional & just a precaution.
HI Developer,
Could you tell me how to change animaton when charge while device are switch off ?

Open the zip file of your ROM.
Go to /system/semc/chargemon/data
You should see some .png files.

And always do a nandroid backup before messing with system files
