How to edit LockRing? - HTC EVO 3D

Hi guys i want to know how to edit the Lockring. I have downloaded APK Manager and M10 Tools. Also i have downloaded a LockRing and i have edited to make a different one. But i dont know where to replace or which file to replace. After i load the fusion in M10 Tools and click on decode images and decompile the skins there aren't images to show. All help is greatly appreciated.
This is the edited lockring i want to change:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

^^^ I'd like to know this too, for ics sense 4

I don't know of you have and installed and set up but you need it. In a adb command window, type in
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk.
Next type in
adb pull /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
Put both of these apps I'm the /other/ folder of apkmanager
Ok let's start off with using apkmanager. Open a command prompted in the apkmanager/other/ folder by right clicking the other folder while holding shift. A command window will open.
Type in:
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool if com.htc.resources.apk
After this apkmanager is set up correctly. Now to the theming....
I need to know which sense you want to theme before I continue.
I'm guessing its ics so what I recommend is using a skin rather than using fusion. It is much easier.
Use 7zip to pull shared.m10 from the skin. It is in assets/skinname/.
Open the shared.m10 in m10editor. Select decode images then click decompile and click yes.
To be continued give me a sec...
By the way two other great threads that helped me a lot are knightwolf's and the interactive phone modification threads.

Are you on sense 3.6/4.0?

Sense 3.6. I did it modifying a skin but i can't do it from the fusion.

Yeah m10 tools doesnt work with fusion as far I know. It needs to be updated.

are you trying to pull bluesky or burgandy? or is it a custom skin made for that rom?
if its custom yes if its ics stock skins yes and no(the shared m10 for those are in fusion you can pull it from there and the apk to match but you can't use m10 to mod it(unless you pull the shared m10 from a different skin and swap it out)

It is a custom skin made for the Rom. I tried with the fusion but no images. I had to use a base skin in apk i had but i want to extract and use as a base the custom skin that comes with the ROM

you cant use stock fusion(for anything),now if its a custom skin then you can swap out the shared m10 from any 3.0 theme or skin(you will have to recolor all the pngs in the new skin to match(if need be) but you can change the lockring(one of the two(not the one that shows up when you pull icons that will stay stock)

Could you tell me what i am doing wrong? Always i try to compile the apk i receive this error. I have changed the LockRing and some textures with M10 Tools but i want to change the name and the preview images in APK but always get this:

i cant tell from that screen shot.
1) did you change the name on the assests folder,in values/string and on manifest?(manifest and the folder have to be the same. ie XyZ and XyZ)
2)did you recolor any .9s
3)did you change any other xmls
4)are your apktools,aapt and the 1 and 2 appks up to date

Ps: Even if i decompile the APK and i try to compile again without any changes im getting the error.

You can't change xmls for sense 3.6 skins, or else it won't recompile. Team Elegancia doesn't do that for their skins, they just change picture of the skin, and nothing else. No decompiling is needed to do that. Just signing... That's why they only base their skins on htc skins...

If you don't use APK Manager what do you use? M10 Tools doesn't let to change some things like name or previews. Does it?

Now I've used the kitchen a few times myself to cook up some themes for my Streak7... but what I haven't learned to do is modify the Settings menus and other apps like you do such as Contacts.... is it as simple as unpacking the app, changing the drawables inside and then including it in the zip file created by the kitchen?
I wish I had someone close by to hold my hand while I installed that. I am still trying to get brave enough to root my Streak .. I did it once before but I am now a chicken .. cluck cluck ..

UOT rocks!
Remember to select ammend scripting and edit ZIP/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script to
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
to have recovery over write any files in the structure /system
You can change out ZIP/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script for updater-script and update-binary (from SD 1.9.1 worked for me)
GB requires framework-res.apk AND SystemUI.apk.
If you just want to change PNG files, use 7zip to open the ZIP file and right click the apk file and open inside. Drag and drop auto copies and pastes. When you dir up, 7zip asks to add to the archive. Click yes.
Editing XML requires decompiling and compiling. I use apk_manager_4_9 with varied success. signing is not required for Streak it appears. ChrisRotolo is much better at that.
The signing part will be important if/when I re-port clockwork mod.
I intend to leave signature checks on if possible to make sure noone flashes a corrupted update.zip
If you create any kind of flashable zips you should always make sure they're signed correctly. Even using the generic sdk debug cert is fine. There's tools around to automatically prep/pack/sign update.zips if you dont want to do it manually.
( i think signature checks can be manually turned off, but if it's available it will be on by default)
Regardless it's good practice to have all your releases signed whenever possible. And even better would be to create your own personal cert to verify that it's unmodified. But really the sdk cert is fine enough if you dont do any serious developing

Hi Nick,
1st of all, this theme looks pretty slick. But can you cook a blue version of this?
I do have something with blue (I think it really suits my eye candy needs), so that is why I was asking that.

[UPDATE-3.0][THEME] iJimaniac's B&B Theme!

UPDATE: DEODEXED VERSION AVAILABLE.
UPDATE; 3.0
Changelog:
NOW ONLY DRAWABLE-HDPI FOLDER, COPY PNGS YOU WANT INTO YOUR OWN APK USING WINRAR. DON'T FLASH!
Themed headers, tabs, wifi signal, battery, status bar, buttons, loading bar, etc, etc.
UPDATE; 2.1
Changelog:
5.0 version available for testing
Finished theming the pattern unlock screen
Fixed bad stretching of "YP-G1" in status bar while in landscape mode
Various improvements
UPDATE; 2.0
Changelog:
Deodexed version available for testing
Themed the music controls in status bar and lockscreen
Themed dialog boxes (ie the volume box)
Themed "clear" box in status bar
Themed the pattern unlock screen (will add more to this next update)
Fixed bug when the old divider would show under the new one in popups
many more little tweeks
UPDATE; 1.1
Changelog: replaced "Jim's 4.0" with "YP-G1", Should be flashable with cwm.
Here is my B&B (Black & Blue) theme for the YP-G1 U.S.
Features:
Themed volume/download bars
Themed popup windows
Themed status bar and notifications
Themed over scroll glow (only on supported apps like zeam)
Ics window animations
Themed music controls
Themed Google search
Themed pattern lockscreen (WIP, I will theme the red and green circles later)
Some other small things.
To do list:
Finish lockscreen
Any other ideas?
List of Widgets:
Homescreen clock: make your own clock widget pro
Toggles: widgetsoid
Music: poweramp
My icons for my dock are from the adw theme glow legacy pro that I extracted to use the icons with desktop Visualizer, but will not share as it is a paid app. The other icons are from the launcher pro website (free).
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
Easy way: flash via cwm. (Should work, untested)
Slow, safer way:
1. Download and extract zip.
2. Make sure you have a way to recover from bootloops.
3. Using root explorer or equivalent, copy systemUI.apk in the extracted app folder to /system/app/ and overwrite the old one (make a backup of it first). Change the permissions to rw-r--r-
You will now get FC errors and might even crash, this is normal! Reboot.
4. Do the same with framework-Res.apk and twframework-Res.apk into the /system/framework/ folder. You will crash after doing framework-res.apk, that is normal. Now download the music player.apk and googlequicksearchbox.apk and put them in system/apps/ like you did with systemUI.apk. These two are only needed if you want the themed music controls and search widget.
DO NOT FLASH 3.0, EXTRACT AND MANUALLY COPY PNGS INTO YOUR APK!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKS/BOOT LOOPS! I am not sure if it will work on the international 4.0, try at your own risk.
Enjoy!

I tried to flash it using CWM, but unfortunately it didn't work. It booted, then asked me which launcher I wanted to use. But it didn't respond, and after like 10 secs of freezing it goes ack to the bootanimation at startup, then again asks me which launcher I want to start, then again bootanimation showup, etc etc etc.

Hmm, I just thought of a possible reason of this not working: I am still odexed, meaning I still have a systemUI.odex instead of it being built into the apk. Now, if someone was deodexed, that would mean they wouldn't have the systemUI.odex, hence a problem, correct?

Okay, posting the systemUI.odex, will look into deodexing it later.
The only thing I don't know about is if the odex will work for a deodexed rom, or if it needs to be deodexed. For now, I would maybe stay away from this if you are deodexed, unless you are willing to go through bootloops, etc.
Here is the systemUI.odex, if anyone wants to deodex, or test something. http://db.tt/dlbsDhv8
Sent using Tapatalk
Alright, after looking into deodexing it, I have decided that I really don't have time to work on it now, as I need to get ready to go on a 2 week trip this Sunday. So, the theme is there, it should work on a stock, odexed rom, and if anyone wants, they can deodex it. If not, I will work on it when I get back. I might be able to remove the "Jim's 4.0" this evening, and make it flashable with cwm.

I believe the updated version should flash correctly using cwm as I simply sent the files through uot kitchen. And, yes, you can just install it manually, which is what I recommend. I have instructions to do so in the op.

Download the ICS Fusion Rom , Open with WinRAR extract SystemUI.apk from System/App . Open the SystemUI.apk with WinRAR and extract LDPI folder. Then extract the themed icons and pics you want. Take the SystemUI from the rom you are on and extract the LDPI folder. Replace the ICS themed status bar stuff from the ICS LDPI to your Roms. Put the Modified LDPI into the SystemUI.apk and then put that SystemUI.apk on your phone. Download SignAPKTic from the Google Play Store or APKTops and Re-Sign the SystemUI.apk you just edited by choosing the modified SystemUI.apk then choose test sign then click sign and choose output file SystemUI.apk and sign it. It takes around 3 minutes tops!
Then set the Root Permissions etc. and replace the Original with the modified one! Then Re-Boot and Clear Dalvik,Battery Stats,Cache. Hope this worked for you!!

yup, just make sure that when you are replacing the icons in your original systemUI.apk, you should retain the original names of the files
it's a simple procedure (use winrar or other extracting programs you like)
things you might do:
(1) replacing icons
(2) re-sizing the icons (if needed)
(3) checking the names of files
(4) pushing and setting the correct permissions
goodluck

it's in the framework-res apk
Hmm..How can we make the systemUI folder into an apk after replacing the icons? Just add to zip/rar? Do we have to compress and which format zip/rar? Thanks

no need to make it hard bro
just make a copy of the apk file that you want to edit
and using winrar, just overwrite the files with the edited version that you made (should have the same name)
then push + restart

[How-To] Compile Framework on last Sony ICS update

The latest firmware update from Sony on the ICS Xperia 2012 brought improvements except one unpleasant moment: bootlup after editing framework-res.apk
This method only works. It told me the user with 4pda.ru sk0t. And for that, he thanks a lot.
So, the tutorial will be small. I use ApkTools150.
1. Decompiled framework as usual, using files from your firmware.
2. Make the necessary changes.
3. Now go to the folder with the decompiled framework and open the file in a text editor apktool.iml
4. Remove these lines and save.
Code:
usesFramework:
ids:
- 2
5. Go to framework-res\res\values\ and open styles.xml. Locate and delete the highlighted in red in the two lines:
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg_bright</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Compile you framework-res.apk
After installing the framework you will experience the background application will no longer be subject to change depending on the theme. I have the problem solved by adding transparency: [Sola\Go\U?\P?] Reboot&Transparent mode [Test] But this compromise.
If someone has a different way, without errors, please let me know )
Do not say thanks, press thanks:angel:
If i do not want the transperency effect will it still work? I am fine with not being able to change the background.

Transparency is not an end, and correction of errors. If left as it is your background in applications is static, background image is stored in the framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi\semc_bg.png and semc_bg_bright.png.
I repeat, this is a compromise.
Thank u this will definitely help!

From SemcGenericUxpRes.apk extract the two pngs and copy it to drawables.hdpi of framework-res.apk. Now compile the framework-res.
It should solve the problem.

When I bring the applications to foreground after applying theme, the theme elements are applied to it too.
So Yes!
Good work mate.

It will not work.
1. If you do not delete the line about "com.sonyericsson.uxp" framework that will not compile \ work.
2. If they delete and copy two pictures of SemcGenericUxpRes.apk-then the background will be static, it will not change when you change themes. The background is taken from the framework, of those pictures, which we copied. Choosing a theme is not working 100%.

1. Lines Deleted as per your post.
2. Copied those two pngs into framwork-res. It compiled and is working.
Can you be more specific as to what did not work on the theme. May be I am missing something here. For me it seems to be Ok. May be I am not seeing what you see.

This is exactly what I'm talking about background applications does not change. On the green theme should be a green background.

Ok i thought i'll do a little more,i moved the two pngs with an additional "_uxp" tag to their name and followed the changes in the file as per post,
Also i declared the 2png files in public.xml
Now next thing in my mind would be decompiling SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Changing the drawable smali which finds this variable and declare it as part of framework-res.apk
now the question is what is the framework-res.apk file according to system?
Any solution to keep theme background?
Now this is an interesting workaround. Very clever.
However..
With Sony's ICS roms, you need to install SemcGenericUxpRes.apk with apktool before you decompile framework-res.apk. This will give the program all the resources it needs to fully decompile the apk.
Otherwise you will have a partially decompiled apk that will always give you a bootloop unless you do something like the op.
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk...give it a try!

HOW TO
Add ICS/Jellybean look alike task switcher​
Removed previous update due to some problem in MOD-without-buttom.zip :- please use the new one
and for
[UPDATE] 18 aug- - MOD-without button.zip: without task manager button [fixed[
TO USE THIS MOD ON OTHER DEVICES GO TO THIS POST
and dont forget my name when writing Credits part....
Tools Required:
1. APKTOOL:: for decompiling/compiling
(u can use any decompiler as long as it compiles without any error)
2. JAVA runtime environment-- jre installed on windows
3. 7 ZIP
4. WinRAR
5. MOD.ZIP or MOD without button.zip (attached below)
MOD.zip includes "task manager" button at the bottom
MOD without button.zip obviously doesnt...
Procedure:
Setting up apktool
1. Unzip downloaded APKTOOL.zip to c:/apk (or any other convenient location)
2. copy ur rom's framework-res.apk to c:/apk/ and rename it as framework-stock.apk (dont delete this file neither modify it at any point)
3.open cmd and navigate to c:/apk/ and type command as
Code:
C:\apk>apktool if framework-stock.apk
Now you are all set to decompile framework-res.apk
DECOMPILING framework-res.apk
In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool d framework-res.apk frame
this will put all decompiled files in a folder named "frame"
EDITING decompiled framework-res.apk
1. open "c:/apk/frame/res" in explorer
2. extract all folders in the MOD.zip file to "c:/apk/frame/res/" and replace the files if asked
RECOMPILING framework-res.apk
1. In cmd type
Code:
C:\apk>apktool b frame framework.apk
if all goes well it will create an UNSIGNED framework.apk (u cant push it right now)
SIGNING framework-res.apk
1. open c:/apk/framework-res.apk in 7-ZIP not Winrar
2. open c:/apk/framework.apk in WINRAR and drag all the contents to the 7-zip window
and click "yes" in dialog when asked to copy files into framework-res.zip
DONE!!​
c:/apk/framework-res.apk is the signed apk which you can push to system/framework/ using any method adb, CWM
or u can even use Miui file explorer to push framework-res.apk without any bootloops.....
if u get stuck in bootloop just flash ur stock framework-res.apk and then report here....
DO give proper credits if you are using this in your rom....
go here to see if it has been added to ur rom already or not....

OR you can install this task killer. ICS Task Manager from market that is "ALMOST" look like a recent task/apps of ICS/JB.
This is not yet confirmed to be working for I can't do it on my own device Xperia X10 minipro running GingerDXv029 on top of nAa-14.
It is because of having 3 recent_apps_dialog.xml namely:
recent_apps_dialog.xml
recent_apps_dialog_12.xml
recent_apps_dialog_15.xml
this traits from GDX framework is same on ARCmini NXT6 and MiniCM7-2.2.1
IF ANYONE can do this, PLEASE provide a tutorial. It will be much appreciated.

It doesn't look good to our small devices. It's devs doesn't include LDPI sources on it's apps. SO OBVIOUSLY it's too big. the screen image of the app almost 3/4 of our screen. It doesn't look good. tried it. However if you want an app. I include the link of the Ics Task Manager. It's available on free and paid versions. and It looks good on small devices.
