Hi everyone,
can anybody tell me how I can change the font of the stock SE lockscreen? I don't want to use an app for this (lockbot, etc). Just want to change the font or the images the clock uses. Help me please!
G.
The font is in the framework-res in the assets folder.
And how can I edit that? It is in the framework, extract is ok, but how can create an .apk after change font? Thanks for help anyway.

By pulling the contents, modding, then pushing them back. Read the theme reference thread for tips.
Great! Thanks again!!!
And if i'm ready (change font, rename as an apk), should I paste over the original apk by RE for example? Is that all?

No need to be renaming anything. Just open the apk as you would any other zip and pull the files, after modding them just drag and drop them back into the framework.apk. Some say you can use RootExplorer to overwrite the original but I've done it twice in the past and both times the phone stuck at boot, so recommend using adb to push back to the phone and install.
That's why I asked, cuz last two times the same happened to me, device frozen in boot. May I use QtADB? It looks working easier for me.

You can use whatever, so long as you can push and install files, like MrRusch's Mod Tool
Do you use it anyway? (x10ModTool)

No, I prefer using adb directly.
qtADB should be ADB with a GUI, an user friendly version of it. Thanks.
done, but nothing changed. Is it sure those fonts to be changed? Is it possible to create a kind of a zip able to flash by x-rec?
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!

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.

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!!!

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!!

Let me start off by saying that I have a condition known as "Sausage Fingers"...I am pretty much unable to use any keyboard I've come across due to the tiny letter keys...Luckily the stock blur keyboard suits my stubby little appendages.
My question is: Is there a way to get this keyboard to work on other ROMS as I have tried and it won't work. I'm experienced in phone development and have done all the things necessary to get an installed keyboard to work...to no avail. Must the APK be modified in some way?
Maybe...

You need a deodexed version of latinime.apk from blur and that needs to go into /system/app with the proper permissions.
Then you need libjni_latinime.so from blur and that needs to be put in /system/lib with the proper permissions.
Reboot and see if it works. Either way you need more than an apk, you need a matching lib.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to add the 1% battery mod to a stock odex ics rom? I have a moto razr maxx. Is there a way i can mod this myself? I tried uot kitchen but it only shows increments of 10% on my phone.
Thanks!
Yes, it can be done. My phone's ROM is the stock odexed ROM and I have 1% battery increments. You need to edit framework-res.apk, you can use apktool or APK Multi Tool or whatever to unpack the APK, and rebuild it afterwards. To get 1% battery, you need to edit/replace some XMLs.
I'll try find a link to show how the XMLs should be and some commonly used icons.
EDIT: Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778
Find a style you like, download it and copy the two folders from inside into the "res" folder in your unpacked APK, overwriting any existing files (you may need to rename the drawable-hdpi-v4 folder depending on your phones resolution)
But UOT should work. Make sure in the "battery" section you changed at the top from "Custom battery" to "SCB with %" and then selected the style you want.

what phone do you have? i already tried the uot and it will not work. from what im understanding you would need to edit the systemUI.odex file to allow for battery % but i have no clue how to do it.

I have an HTC Explorer. But I believe the battery icon is stored in framework-res.apk, and not SystemUI.apk, so SystemUI.odex shouldn't be a problem (SystemUI.odex is the odex file of SystemUI.apk - you can't edit odexed apps, you would have to deodex SystemUI.apk first; this means combining the SystemUI.odex and SystemUI.apk files into one, deodexed SystemUI.apk, which can then be edited).
Although UOT may require you to upload a deodexed SystemUI.apk along with framework-res.apk, because some theme mods required SystemUI.apk. So you might need to get a deodexed SystemUI.apk. There's a guide to deodexing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208320
It is a slightly complicated process, but it's not impossible to figure out I don't know for sure if this is what you need to do to make it work though. Make sure you have a nandroid backup before you flash the theme
i guess ill wait for a dev to deodex the stock rom then. the uot kitchen states it can work on odex roms but in my case it does not.

Anything's possible... See HERE, HERE, and a mini re-odex tutorial HERE.
And, I believe there were some major framework/system changes in the transition from GB to ICS - so, the battery files may have moved to SystemUI from framework-res..

You'd also need to upload all the .jar and .odex files from /system/framework I think to make it possible to deodex systemUI.apk.
EDIT: If you do that, I should probably be able to deodex it for you. (Assuming that process hasn't changed for ICS, which I don't think it has). Once you have this file deodexed, you should be able to use UOT, it supports ICS battery mods.

Sorry, but I'm not too familiar with ICS yet... eagerly waiting Q3 for my phone.
Plus, I ported the battery from a deodexed set so I don't know all of the smali/xml edits involved if I were to do it from scratch...
You could still upload a whole system dump or cwm backup for me to look at ...if you wanted to. It'll let me get familiar with Moto's ICS..

Downloading now, provided it works I should have it up in 15 - 20 mins
EDIT: Appears it's a bit different, trying another approach now which will take a bit longer, but seems to be working for now at least (doing it this way means deodexing all the files).
EDIT: I'll try and get SystemUI.apk uploaded tonight, the rest will have to wait to tomorrow if you want them.
EDIT: There is a possibility I will need "init.rc" from the root of your device (i.e. not inside any folders like "system" or "data") to properly deodex all the files. A few seem to be giving errors and stuff.
Here's the (hopefully) deodexed SystemUI.apk [well, it IS deodexed, the "hopefully" refers to hopefully it's done right]. Try this with UOT (along with framework-res.apk, which isn't odexed in the first place), and as I said before, be sure to make a nandroid backup before hand.
You may also need to delete the SystemUI.odex file from your phone after applying the theme, I am not completely sure. If after applying the theme it has not worked, try doing so - worst case scenario you should be able to restore your nandroid backup if deleting the .odex file breaks something.

used uot with the modded systemUI and it didn't work, still only getting 10% increments. i think the entire system/app & framework needs to be deodexed.

Just found this HERE - looks like a good 1% battery tutorial...
But, from the look of your system, you have battery files (images/xmls) in BOTH the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk - how's that?
I don't think I'll be able to upload the deodexed files. It'd be a large file, and I don't really want to waste the bandwidth I'm afraid.
It's not a hard process for you to do though. There are two main options. Either buy Titanium Backup Pro for your phone, and then load it up and press menu, then "more" and then "Undo sys Dalvik integration..." which will deodex everything in /system/app (but not /system/framework), or else download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=972719&d=1333088601 (I'd strongly recommend this second method)
Extract the ZIP, and place everything from /system/app in "_app" and everything from /system/framework in "_framework". Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat. Select option 2, then paste in this as the custom BootClassPath:
Code:
core.jar:core-junit.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:framework-ext.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:apache-xml.jar:filterfw.jar:com.motorola.android.frameworks.jar:com.motorola.android.widget.jar:com.motorola.frameworks.core.addon.jar
Let it run, and all the deodexed files will be in the deodexed folders. Any files that weren't deodexed will be in the original folders.
This is really quite an easy process, so I'm sure you could achieve it yourself.
EDIT: There still seem to be a couple of errors with the above BootClassPath, the following two JARs seem to be missing: /system/framework/kafdex.jar and /system/framework/com.motorola.orange.simauth.jar (I removed them from the BootClassPath because the JARs were missing, if you can find these two JARs add :kafdex.jar:com.motorola.orange.simauth.jar to the end of the above BootClassPath and put the two JARs in "_framework". Then I think you will be able to deodex every JAR and APK. Without them, most still seem to work though. (A number of the APKs in /system/app do not deodex properly. A little googling has shown me that motorola often neglect to include com.motorola.orange.simauth.jar on their phones [probably to try and stop deodexing] and this is the main problem)
EDIT: Try using this tool to mod your battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434061
Use the deodexed SystemUI.apk along with the standard framework-res.apk, and download one of the 1% battery mods from that thread. I really don't think the rest of the system apps being odexed should cause an issue.

[FONT="]Other Galaxy Mega Variants[/FONT][FONT="] - [/FONT][FONT="]Disclaimer[/FONT][FONT="]:[/FONT]
[FONT="]I do not know if this will work on other carriers/models as they all are different and can or will have different permissions/policies set forth so you will be trying at your own risk. The .apk files are easily modified and the required files are easily found by searching the forums as I have. If these .apk file worked for a different Samsung Galaxy Mega devise then please advise me and give proper credit. Use, extract, exhume, etc the files as you choose or please.

If anyone can test the flashable zip and/or check the updater-script to make sure it will back up the apk's and write the values in for you please do so and check back please.

I don't remember having the ability to turn it on or off in my settings with KitKat 4.4. The only way I knew was to use Xposed App to do so. I rather use an actual Toggle built in the stock System located in the Pull Down section.

What type of update error? Also did or did not flash? Thanks.
May end up just making this as a manual push mod instead of flashing.

Oh nice. Was it the same as the Note 2 or Galaxy S4/5? Also was this on KK NE4 and do you mind sharing the services.jar file from your Mega?
The HotSpot Mod should not affect the flashlight quick toggle. You did also edit the setting.db file as well correct and add Flashlight; to the line right?

Thank you sir. I will look into modding the services.jar for this. Also there should not be a problem for you to push these to your system, set permission to the files and then reboot. Also have to make sure you modify your settings.db file so it will show up in your toggles.
