HI
I was running CF-Root-sgs2_XX_OXIKG3-v4.1
then through cwmv4.0.0.2
I have generated a zip file by doing
"Pull /system/framework/framework.jar from your phone and place it in the subfolder framework that you extracted in step 1
If you’re not using a CyanogenMod ROM, then you’ll also need to pull /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from your phone and place it in subfolder libandroid_runtime that you extracted in step 1
Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder generated"
this is for making arabic framework.jar
the files I have pulled were from a super core_1 Kernel with Darkyrom2
then i have changed to CF-Root-sgs2_XX_OXIKG3-v4.1 kernel with cognition_S2-131
I went to cwmv4.0.0.2 and installed the zip file
boot loop happened
how can I fix it
thanks
"1-Download the patch below and extract it to a folder on your computer.
2-Pull /system/framework/framework.jar from your phone and place it in the subfolder framework that you extracted in step 1
3-If you’re not using a CyanogenMod ROM, then you’ll also need to pull /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from your phone and place it in subfolder libandroid_runtime that you extracted in step 1
4-Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder generated
5-Version 0.800 provides a recovery flashable file in folder generated. Place that on your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash it. If the flashing through recovery didn’t work for some reason, you’ll need to do the following manually:
-Put file generated/framework.jar in your phone at /system/framework/
-Put file generated/libandroid_runtime.so in your phone at /system/lib/ (if this file exists, it shouldn’t if you’re arabizing CM6).
-Put file REQUIRED-IMPORTANT/libicuuc-arabic.so in your phone at /system/lib/ This is extremely important, failing to place this file will result in a boot loop of your device"

I have a shutdown sequence and some sounds I would like to turn in to a flashable .zip file. I checked out the CW forums, but that was more painful than informative. I have taken a look at some of the zip files I have found so far, but am not 100% sure about what I'm doing. Can anyone point me to a how-to or even in the general direction of some information to get me started?
Thanks guys!
Edit: Those interested can find all the information needed in the3dman's post and here:

Thanks for the link. I had actually started there, and it's a great template if I just want to throw in my own files, but I was really looking for a how to so that I had more options for customizing, rather than being stuck with only the shutdown / startup sequence.

First you have to have your folder structure like this in the zip:
Main .zip
{
META-INF { com -> google -> android -> update-script } ( <- these are folders inside the META-INF except update-script this is a script file)
app (if the file you want to flash is an app it goes in this folder)
framework (if the file you want to flash is a framework file it goes in this folder)
system (if the file you want to flash is a system file (start up animations) it goes in this folder also make sure you put the correct subfolder inside this folder ie: if your file goes in system -> media make sure you put the file you wish to flash in a correctly named subfolder other wise it will flash into just the system folder and not into the correct folder within the system folder on your phone.)
}
After your folder structure is set up you must tell clockwork which folder or folders in the zip to flash. To do this open the update-script from the zip with a text editor and modify or add these lines with the correct folders.
copy_dir PACKAGE:framework SYSTEM:framework (use this for the framework folder)
copy_dir PACKAGE:app SYSTEM:app (use this for the app folder)
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:system (use this for the system folder)
Then sign your zip and flash.
Below is a picture of an example folder structure so show what I mean. Also I attached a zip with an example update-script in it.

friends
someone could help me or raise the issue with the original purpose of the windows, and not use that brings the theme
and try changing the original XML (xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip), but the keyboard disappeared and I can not connect via USB, restarted
Greetings from Chile
excuse my English. jajjajjaajaaja sucks google translate
thanks
Hi.
Could you elaborate chronologically what happened/what did you do?
Hi
1 GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip extract files
2 Remove the framework-res.apk files
3 delete the files in the folder res / anim
4 Copy the contents of "xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip" folder anim
5 sign "framework" res.apk "
6 compressed "GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip"with the new content "framework" res.apk "
7 signs "GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip"
install the theme with recovery, starts, but see some sort of errors that were closed following
google.process.gapps
com.android.email
com.mobileleader.sync
com.android.deskclock
the keyboard does not start (to write anything, numbers, names, etc)
I can not connect to usb
thank you very much for reading this and help
I hope you did nand backup your phone before installing the theme.
If you did that, do 'Nand restore' in recovery menu, reboot
if you did not do that, you need to reflash void-echo, reboot, install any void's modules such as kernel, a2sd, gapps, etc. that you want.
After making sure your phone is OK, try these steps:
- redownload GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip
- redownload xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip
- extract contents of xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip to a directory in your PC
- copy GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip to a file, say you name it 'temp.zip'
- open temp.zip (just open, not extracting it) with 7-zip
- while opening temp.zip, navigate to directory 'system/framework'
- doubleclick framework-res.apk
- navigate to directory 'res\anim'
- drag-drop previous extracted files from 'xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip' to this directory ('res\anim')
- close 7-zip, answer 'Yes' when asked whether to update contents of framework-res.apk
- sign temp.zip
- copy the signed zip file to sd card and flash it
Hope this solves your problem.
Cheers.

That is what he did wrong? no idea what the problem xD
Muchas gracias amigo!!
hello everyone
I have updated to kennethpenn's 4.5.91 Gingerbread Beta 4 (must say, it is truly a phenomally put together build !)
I have also noticed that many of the mods that i had applied to 1.8.3 have not been updated for 4.5.91, so i decided to make the changes myself.
Now, I have a pretty decent knowledge of Unix-based operating systems ( I have used Red Hat Linux, Ubuntu, SUSe Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, and now OS X) however, I would like to expand my knowledge to include Android.
The first one I attempted to do myself was the Wake on Volume Keys mod.
This is a very simple change to the android.policy.jar file, as you all well know.
For this, I used Windows XP, simply for the fact that I have 7zip and PeaZip installed on it. However, I can do all of this on OS X as well. The file archiver applications I have on OS X are:
1. The Unarchiver
2. Keka
I am going to list my method of applying this edit, and i would ask that someone with solid knowledge on this subject give me their feedback and guidance.
---------------------------------------------------------
My Method of editing android.policy.jar
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Using Root Explorer, I made a copy of /system/framework on my External SD Card
2. Mounting the Phone for USB Mass Storage on Windows XP that I have running in VirtualBox on my Macbook Pro, I moved the copy of the /system/framework directory to my Desktop
3. I downloaded smali-1.2.6.jar and baksmali-1.2.6.jar from code.google.com/p/smali/
4. I placed both of these .jar files in the copy of the framework-edited directory that I created on my Desktop
5. I renamed smali-1.2.6.jar to smali.jar and baksmali-1.2.6.jar to baksmali.jar for simplicity's sake
6. I moved the android.policy.jar file to /framework-edited directory on my Desktop
7. Using 7zip (I also have PeaZip, but for this, I used 7zip, if you think I should use PeaZip, please tell me) I extracted the files from android.policy.jar to end up with classes.dex and META-INF. I then moved classes.dex to /framework-edited so it is in the same directory as smali.jar and baksmali.jar
8. In Command Prompt, I entered:
Code:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\framework-edited
in order to be working from the proper location where my files are located
9. Now, having Command Prompt working in the proper location, I entered the following commands:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
to create a new directory within /framework-edited called /framework-edited/classout
10. I then opened the /classout directory, and navigated to /classout/com/android/internal/policy/impl/ and opened the file KeyguardViewMediator.smali with Notepad
11. I used [Ctrl] + [F] to locate the line:
private isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing(I)Z
12. I then looked at the lines DIRECTLY below the above line, and following the Original Post on how to manually apply this modification, I removed lines:
0x18
0x19
13. Upon removing these lines, I simply did a File -> Save As -> KeyguardViewMediator.smali and saved the file to my desktop
14. I [Cut] + [Pasted] the edited KeyguardViewMediator.smali file back to /classout/com/android/internal/policy/impl/ and replaced the original KeyguardViewMediator.smali file
15. With the edited KeyguardViewMediator.smali file in place, I went back to Command Prompt and entered the following commands:
Code:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
To create a new file called new-classes.dex
16. Changing the name of new-classes.dex to classes.dex, I took the original META-INF file, and my newly created classes.dex files, and, using 7zip, created a new android.policy.zip archive
17. I renamed my newly created android.policy.zip to android.policy.jar, and transferred it to my External SD Card
18. Using Root Explorer, I navigated to /system/framework on my phone, and renamed android.policy.jar to 1122android.policy.jar.bac and [Copy] + [Pasted] my edited android.policy.jar to /system/framework
19. I then immediately powered off my phone, and rebooted into CWM Recovery, and cleared my Dalvik Cache, then rebooted the phone normally through CWM Recovery.
At this point, to my knowledge, I had successfully edited my android.policy.jar file and had manually added the Wake on Volume Keys modification, however, once the phone was fully booted and showing my lockscreen, I unlocked the phone as normal by sliding the slider to the right. As soon as the phone unlocked, I saw pop-ups for processes that had failed and were terminated. I'm not sure what the exact message the pop-ups had, but it was the normal pop-up message you get when a process force-closes. My only option was to click "Ok" so I clicked it, only to have another force-close pop-up.
Apparently, every single process on the phone had force-closed, BUT, the phone was waking when I press a volume key while the screen was off. I had no choice but to pull the battery out.
I decided to reboot into CWM Recovery and "install .zip from SD Card", Nottach's 1% Battery Mod / No Carrier Mod Uninstall Script
I installed Nottach's uninstall script because I hoped that it had an unmodified copy of android.policy.zip in it.
After installing the uninstall script, and rebooting the phone once again, I got to the lock screen, unlocked the phone, and found everything to be in perfect working order, just as before I edited anything,
But the Wake on Volume Keys mod was still applied!
So now, my questions / requests to all of you are:
1. Explain to me what I missed or did wrong that resulted in the force-closure of every single process on the phone prior to installing Nottach's Uninstall script
and
2. Educate me on the proper process that you developers use to apply small modifications such as this one to the android.policy.jar file, or any other related file on the phone for that matter.
My plan is now to change the color of the text on my lock screen (Clock, Date, and possibly Carrier) following this [Guide]
Any and all feedback is welcomed and greatly appreciated, as you will be helping me learn the beginnings of modding and developing
bump . . . . .
Perhaps this may help

I think you should have posted this in themes and apps section but nevertheless this is your answer-
You will need-
a)APK Manager from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
b) .zip manager (I suggest 7-zip or winrar for windows and archive manager for linux)
c) text editor ( Notepad++ in windows or gedit/write in linux )
d) framework-res.apk from /system/framework that you want to modify and build.prop from /system.
e)Root explorer/Fileexpert or adb to pull framework-res.apk and build.prop
First thing using root explorer or adb pull the above files to your computer.Then do the following..
1) Once you extract APKManager you should have a folder called "APKManager," somewhere.
2) Within that folder there's another folder called "place-apk-here-for-modding". Place you desired framework-res.apk into that folder.
3) Navigate back to the root of "APKManager", and double-click "Script.bat"in windows or "Script.sh" in linux
4) Press option 9 to decompile the apk. (It may take some time)
5) Once finished, navigate to "APKManager\projects\framework-res.apk\res\values".
6) Inside look for a file called "bool.xml". Open it using your notepad++ or gedit
and find and change the
"<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
7) Remember to save! Not "save as," but save.
8) Doubl-click "Script.bat" or "Script.sh"again, and choose option 11 to sign the apk
9) Say "y" to first option.
10) When that is done, a new folder called "keep" will be created. Open that folder, and delete resource.arsc.
11) Say "y" to the last option.
12) It will ask you to press any key, do that, and it will finish.
13) Navigate to the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder, and you'll see a new file called, "unsignedframework-res.apk" open it with a .zip manager, and take the resource.arsc file from it, and transfer it to your original framework-res.apk (Which should be in the same folder)
14) Now push the modified original framework-res.apk(with new resource.arsc) onto your phone /system/framework using adb or copy by root explorer/fileexpert, and set permissions using root explorer to -rw -r -r or use chmod 644 framework-res.apk using adb. There wil be force-closes using root explorer when copying..just ignore that and set permissions and reboot.
15) Now pull build.prop from /system to your computer
16) Open build.prop and modify the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #
17) Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer and set permssions similarly as in above.
18)Reboot and go to settings>>display>>animations and choose all animations. Enjoy your crt screenoff animation.
Added the guide in themes section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15976400
did as told but no luck. I'm using S5830XEKPH 2.3.4 firmware (Booted)
I have just noted that root explorer is not replacing framework file with the new one.
