Hi,
since I don't really like the Glass lockscreen on YP-G1,I wanna change it to AOSP style.
However,UOT kitchen can't make it though I've tried many times uploading files
So,I searched for way to mod these files manually in forum.Like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969354
Stuck ROM's is fully odexed,so I got android.policy.jar and android.policy.odex.After decompiling android.policy.odex(340KB),editing codes,recompiling,I got a dex file(296KB).It was smaller than before,making me confused...
Then I renamed it to 'classes.dex' putting into android.policy.jar,and made a CWM zip and flashed it as usual.
Reboot,ah,just got a bootloop
Anyone could give me a hand?This stuff almost made me mad...
If AOSP lockscreen's codes were not exist in firmware,then what I've done was just in vain...
But Klin has succeed in changing lock style via UOT.So there should be sth wrong in editing these codes for me.
Keep working on it.

You have to change a method in android.policy.jar. I think it was in class lockpatternkeyguardview.

Hi,Klin.
Could you please send me your android.policy.jar and android.policy.odex?I downloaded your custom ROM R5,but couldn't be unpacked by UltraISO,even failed to mount the rfs file in Linux
Thax!
Ok, I'll give it to you when I get home this afternoon. But my rom is deodexed, so it doesn't have android.policy.jar.odex.
And also, the reason you can't mount the factoryfs.rfs is because it is an extremely image in an Odin flashable format. If you want it sooner, you could download r4 and mount it and take the file you need.

Thank you~
Starting to learn Android,I'm interested in everything about it.
Sorry for the delay, but here ya go.
There is no odex version because it is already deodexed.
So, would using a deodexed android.policy.jar on a stock odexed rom not work?

Probably not. But you could try it if you want, and if it boot loops just adb push the original one to your phone. But if your rom is a different framework other than 2.3.6 than this definitely won't work.

Thx.
In fact I got lots of bootloop while testing such things,haha
I would investigate this file and hope to find sth.
Thx again!
How would i go about changing my splash screen? i have the image i wanna use but is there a way i could flash it or is it built into the kernel?
You mean the one before boot animation? If yes, it's inbuilt in kernel, and it's calling boot logo.
thanks.. i never messed with a kernel before so could someone tell me a program i could use to extract it..

[DEV][TOOLS] Unpack Repack boot.img (Kernel) Files And Modify Ramdisk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477845
Hi everyone,
I'm noob here. I'm using Xperia S. And now learning mote about android.
However I have a question, how can I make boot.img from my ftf file?
Sure, I extracted the ftf, decrypt the kernel.sin into kernel.elf.
From kernel.elf, I decrypt it again and get 4 files, one image (I suppose it is kernel zImage), one ramdisk.gz, one file forgotten and another is elf.4.
Okay, now the problem comes.
The main purpose of me is to change the bootlogo of my Xperia S.
I searched for a day to change the bootlogo, most need to add the rle file into boot.img file (ramdisk).
For sure I read through the site how to unpack, edit and repack the boot image.
The kernel and ramdisk of mine are extracted from ftf but not existing custom Rom,
1. Can I directly use the mkbootimg program to create boot.img? Will it work out?
2. Do I need to aware of any parameters or setting for Xperia S? Since I worried that different devices have diff setting.
3. Is it better to make it on linux? I found mkbootimg.c in c language file but not precompiled program as tutorial, the link given is broken. Can work also?
Sorry, I'm really quite new and very noob, I tried searching and many other things, but still can't figure it out.
Hope that pros here can help me...

how did you decrypt kernel.sin ? can you explain step by step ? Im also a noob

For how to decrypt the kernel.sin, you can use Flashtool (not Sony official one)
Under Tools (perhaps I remember correctly), there is a option about decrypt SIN, and then you can choose the kernel.sin you want to decrypt.

(.tar) to be like this

My Answer is for kagouro - Becouse i Don't see your post when I write.
If Your Phone is dedected in adb you can use logcat (adb logcat in windows cmd) if phone don't dedected in adb - flash recovery via fastboot, join in recovery , instal working rom and found bad files in rom (try add modyfication singly - first root, second busybox etc - in this metod you can see whad mod don't work - probably stupid method but work :cyclops

Kitchen will replace certain necessary parts of your ROM if it isn't compatible with the kitchen, it puts them back when you compile. When you compiled your ROM did you take the guided option? Also, and probably the first thing I should have asked, is your phone compatible with kitchen?

OK, just for giggles try this, take the meta-inf folder from a rom you know works and using 7zip replace the one in your rom. Let me know if that helped at all:beer:

Ext3 is a mount point, I'm not sure what it would be specific to your device, but it tells me there's an error in your updater script

Open original rom with WinRAR or 7zip, overwrite the boot.img file with the kernel you want to add, flash the rom.
