[REQ] Soft Key Mod help - Motorola Droid X2

I am running CM9 Alpha 3 and I have always wanted soft keys on my X2 because I just do not like the hard buttons. I found the thread about how to enable them on ICS Roms and it is fairly simple to do. I contacted DK on twitter to see if he may add them in a later update and he said he was not going to add them. I tried to do it last night and I just could not get APKTool to re-compile the Framework-res.apk.
Could someone who is able to re-compile an .apk possibly try this for me, it is only 2 edits to a couple of .xml files inside of the Framework-res.apk and adding 4 .png files to the SystemUI.apk. I only need the Framework-res.apk as I have already added the .png's to my SystemUI.apk. Here is the link to the mod and thank you to whoever will do it for me.
How to enable soft keys

Or you could download Button Savior and save yourself the headache.

Thanks but its not the same and it gets in the way. The mod is very easy to do, I just cannot get APKTool to re-compile. The whole mod takes less than ten minutes.

I heard if you used 7-Zip, you can take files out and put them in without extracting and messing with the APKs signature. Maybe you can just use it to take out the XML file and edit it and put it back in with the images too. Then replace the file on your phone.

Thanks but, you have to edit the bool.xml inside the framework-res.apk/res/values and the only way to get to it is to de-compile it.

Ah. Well Id help if I knew how to decompile and recompile. But I dont. Sorry man.

Not being a DB,but I guess I'm confused. You wont be able to use the soft key area but for only that. At least with the Button Savior app, you can tap it and it disappears. You don't loose any screen space. Then again, it doesn't look as cool as the soft keys......

Your not being a DB. Button Savior would always be in the way whereas the soft keys would stay out of the way with only taken up about 37 px ( about the size of the status bar ). I just think with the size of our screens that it would benefit the experience.

Well, I got the framework-res.apk to re-compile but the arsc file is half the size it was and when flashed I get a USB error that says something like " activity?$%'*: USB is not responding please select a USB application ".

What exactly is it you don't like about the buttons, if you don't mind me asking?

All the phones I have owned before this one have had capacitive buttons. Not to sound too lazy but, having to physically press the button vs just tapping the screen is annoying to me plus I like the way it looks.

So i was messing around with this and got the apk and zip signed. But when I flashed the zip it bootlooped. It went through one cycle like it would start up, flashed the lock screen, then went back to boot screen. When it flashed the screen it looked like there was a place where the soft keys should be that was just black and the rest of the screen had not been resized to fit it the keys were in place. I have a video uploading if anybody wants to see what happened(I'll add it when it's finished).
I should add, I'm not too concerned with having these, I just thought it would be an interesting project to try out. Seems like there are at least a few people that would use this.
Edit: Here is the link to the video

Haha I'll try to make a zip. Never have before though. I just changed what I needed to and repackaged dzk's alpha 3.
Again though, the screen looks pretty weird in parts. I'm going to try to find a fix for that tomorrow. Apparently it's something with the dpi of the screen. I'm pretty new to this so I'll have to do some digging

[Request Fulfilled!] R2-D2 Droid 2 Lockscreen Sliders for CM7

If you come across this thread Option, feel free to delete it.
This request has been fulfilled by Rich2Thad! Check it out HERE!
Original Post:
I was hoping that someone might be able to port the lockscreen sliders from the R2-D2 Droid 2 to CM 7 Nightlies. I tried playing with it a little myself and just couldn't get it to work. I included the zip I found in an article somewhere with the images for it. I know it's going to take far more knowledge than what I have. If anyone feels up to the challenge I would greatly appreciate it!

you should be able to just change out the .png files. not sure though.
I tried that. These sliders are weird! They are slightly bigger (in file size and image size) than the stock CM7 sliders. Besides renaming and copying the pngs, I tried to resize and replace. But that didn't work either. I'm stumped about what else could be done. I have a feeling some xml editing is needed. I unfortunately have absolutely zero experience with xmls and don't have the first clue about where to start.

Long press on the file (Mms.apk) and select copy.
Navigate to system/app/ and while doing so make sure to press the "mount R/W" button at the top of the screen.
Paste the file in system/app/ then long press it again and select permissions.

I think I can help with that. When I first started tweaking Samsung mms, I came upon a thread from MikeyMike01 of the Captivate threads who made that nice Gingerbread version I have on Tweaker. In the thread were instruction on changing the text color. I'll try to provide you with a link later on or shoot a pm to MikeyMike01.

I'm not sure if it will make any difference, but the write box under "Group" should be unchecked too. At least that's how everything is in System/app.

Hey thanks, Ive got two more I'm working on now. A MIUI theme and Aerish GTX port.
I've been looking for this so bad! I was wondering if there are 4g icons as well?
nice update, any chance of this getting more updates? (colored icons in task bar other than battery and as posted below 4g/h+ signal)

Okay, I figured out how to change the little 3g/4g/H+ icons however I am having a hard time finding matching 4G icons, if someone can find the 4g ones that match the 3g ones I can do it. The sliders are easy too.
Just have to find the matching framework/systemui apk's that contain the images.
Edit: I found icons that match however they are too small. :-( The ones I have are 25x25 (MDPI) and they need to be 38x38 (HDPI)
Finally figured it out!
Found the right images and got rid of the 3g/4g/h icons included in the systemui.apk
To install copy the new systemui.apk to /system/app and overwrite the old one using Root Explorer or any other file manager.
Restart because you'll probably get a force close for the systemui.apk
When it boots back up set the permissions on systemui.apk to RW-R-R then reboot a second time and voila it will work!
Here are 3 screenshots that prove it!
I am not responsible if you **** your **** up and obviously credit goes to the OP for whipping up this amazing theme.

The search continues! Themed that PNG as well and still no change. I should also point out, I HIGHLY doubt the PNG is located in "Skins aka m10 file". I think this because I swapped out the m10 completely and it still hasn't changed. I'm sure someone here on XDA knows where this PNG is hiding.
After looking at them more closely, they look like sense specific icons...is there a place for those somewhere?

[Q] Text-based battery percent in Status bar

The thread listed here is pretty old and it does not apply to my Epic Tough running 2.3.6. I am trying to accomplish the same thing but can not seem to locate any proper info on how to do it. I am still new to reading code and messing with .smali files and xml's but I have no problem learning. If anyone knows where I may be able to find the proper info for my phone or a SGS II equivalent please let me know.
I have tried the lockscreen mods but they all seem to give me Hot Reboots since most of the framework and jar files seem to have errors in them. I can deal with out the lockscreen mod but I truly like the text based battery and CM is not a choice for me at this moment until they get it stable.
I have also send the OP a PM but no response in days...
Thx for your help

Hmm, this should be fairly simple. In theory, at least.
I would have thought it's just a case of adding some strings, then changing the drawable xml files. But I can't try it today as I'm out on the road. Hopefully I can try this tomorrow and I'll report back.

Use the uot kitchen online. You can tweek to your hearts desire..

In the screenshot you have posted, it's an app that's doing it with the battery icon hidden on MIUI with extended settings. I have the same setup. Give me a sec and I'll post a picture. I believe the app I use is called Battery Status.
Unless you're running MIUI or another ROM where you can hide the battery icon, you'll have duplicate icons - one in the normal spot and one on the other side.
Here's the screenshot of mine with the same concept.
EDIT:
Nevermind, I was seeing my own status bar when I opened the image through Tapatalk. Now I feel like an idiot.
This setup is native in CM and in TSM tweaks as well as EDT tweaks. I simply just want to use pct text and not PNG files. Tux for the uot kitchen ref but that's not what I am looking for. Uot is old school to me but they do serve a great purpose. The screenshot is not an app though since I linked the mod in my post.

Thx let me know what you can dig up. I have been looking at code trying to figure it out but its a little bit above my pay grade...lol

No problem. I'm pretty certain I know how to do this but I'm not in a position to try it out for a few hours.
If I'm right though, it should just be a case of changing three xml files. No smali, which is always a good thing..
Oh, and this should work on any rom on any version of Android.

From the few tutorials I have found you are usually adding lines to smali. I have no problems making those changes either if necessary. I am just sick of the icon based battery and prefer text with % after it.... Thx I await your results

Well, that didn't work. I spent ages tweaking the code to get it to compile but all it does is just remove the battery entirely.
I was trying to display strings instead of drawables but..oh well.
If you want to do this with your phone's font, you'll need to edit some smali..somewhere. Unfortunately that stuff is still mostly over my head.
Or you could just make some image files that only have text in them. It's a bit of a cheat but it could have the effect you're after.

Thanks man I thought about changing the PNG files but I would prefer not to...lol

It may be the best way really. Otherwise you have to find the smali code that uses the battery image xml file and alter it to...something..

There has to be a way since the TSM mod has it in it.... Got to be a way
'Battery status bar' and 'status bar battery', both apps that will do what you want.

The best way to do this is use one of the number icons available in Tickle My Android..
That is not the best way to do it at all... The best way to do it is breakdown the xml for the ui your looking at and add the xml for it and take the statusbar_battery.xml and where it points to @drawable/stat_sys_battery1 yeah well point it to @strings/stat_sys_bat_1 and create the string for it and every other battery line bam done! Thats the best way I can see it being done... Adding it to the given ui is a different story all together changing it is much easier than adding it.. Adding it requires you go into statusbar.smali and copy and paste the whole section of code that controls the battery and asign a new variable to it to make it work and im not even sure if that would work Im just guessing here I work with sense not aosp but its all the same crap..
