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.

Muchas gracias amigo!!
I have flashed it on my Note, it works well.
I in no way created this, just thought it may be worth while.
The operation of this template is based on the VillainTheme System for the ROM VillainROM.
Link: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/sh...inTheme-System
Credits and thanks to all XDA team that collaborated on the original script: Doctorcete, Stericson, Matt and Seshy​
What is Universal Flasher Tool?
is a complete template that is used to create the simplest possible way a subject flashable from recovery without the need to include or edit files. apk.
This new method uses the file system implementation metamorph (just have to put files and folders on their respective routes), with the advantage that the system identifies and injected into their applications without the need for external application. The subjects are flashed directly from recovery.
What are the advantages of this method compared to metamorph or traditional flasheables issues?
Do not include. Apk complete, only the files you want to include in the subject.
A theme created with this template is valid for any rom, even among different phone roms (the tests have been performed with SGS2 and Nexus one).
Optionally, the template can include complete files if desired, can even be used to install applications not system.
Does not depend on external applications like metamorph because it flashes directly from recovery.
Operation of the template
at the end of the post are attached a number of considerations to take into account, but basically works like this:
Identify the applications that want to thematize and checks that exist in the rom. Once the check, the system compares folders that will be introduced as well as files and injects them into the apk as long as the new file exists within the apk. This has been thought well to avoid filling an apk with files that do not belong because they are from another rom or because you made a mistake when typing the name, for example.
Once injected the files takes a zipalign the apk to optimize RAM usage.
Alternatively, if the topic includes external files or copy them to install applications on your path.
At the same time to be using the item, the system will generate a backup of changed files and automatically creates a file. Zip flashable from recovery, in case something goes wrong or do not like changes to previous state.
Finally, it also generates a small log with the outcome of the whole process is recorded in SD to verify that all changes are properly implemented.
How to create and edit your own theme
Download the template from the attachment in this post or the link below.
Recommended Tools: 7zip to include files and browse the file system (you can also use winzip or winrar without problems) and Notepad + + or any other plain text editor to edit the name of the mod.
Once downloaded, open the template double-click will observe and folders inside a file in the root. Here's that are in each folder and how to create the theme.
MOD.config file: (new from version 3.0) is an editable text file (recommend Notepad + +) where in addition to establishing the name of the MOD to set different parameters of the template.
MOD_VERSION= Name (name of the mod to be displayed in the system properties after the name of the rom. Are cautioned not to put a name too long and try to avoid as far as possible in the blanks.
CLEAN_MORPHING = not (compare the new files before injection into the apk, only enter if the file already exists. Turning the option dramatically reduces speed)
V4_MORPHING = yes (support to manage compatibility with existing folders-v4 system in some applications).
DO_BACKUP = yes (enable or disable the creation of the flashable backup from recovery to restore the existing theme).
LOG_ENABLED = yes (enable or disable the creation of a log file with the results of the process).
SCREEN_LOG = yes (shows the process of recovery on the screen or not. important notices are always shown even if the option is disabled).
Optionally, you can set a different path for memory cards (no need to touch these lines in most cases, you should not touch):
default_internal_sdcard = / EMMC
default_external_sdcard = / sdcard
Optionally, you can add special commands to mount partitions (no need to modify these lines in most cases, you should not touch):
mount_system = mount / system
mount_data = mount / data
README.txt:
Includes some additional instructions on the operation and the license. Please read before using the template to create a theme (in English). Carteta / tools: is the folder where you have placed the scripts and binary files necessary to flash the issue and make subsequent restoration. You do not need to touch anything in this folder to edit the theme. From version 3.0 has been deleted because busybox binary is no longer involved in the process. folder / META-INF folder system which includes the signature file and the script to launch from recovery. It is recommended not to touch. Folder / MORPH: This is the template folder where files should be included with the theme. In turn, the folder is divided into two subfolders called / data (for applications theming system NO) and / system (for theming system and applications framework). In the / MORPH / system / app files are included for the applications and / MORPH / system / framework for the framework files. NOTE: NO application theming system in / MORPH / data / app / myapp.apk supposed to change the digital signature, so from that time can not be updated from the market or will you installed in the market (like if it had been installed by 'other means' non-statutory ...). Therefore, we do not recommend any downloaded application thematize the market. You are advised that the complaints do not come then ... For each application you want to thematize must open a new folder called / nombre.apk (eg / Contacts.apk if you want to change the system application Contacts.apk) . It is necessary to respect the use of upper / lower case. Within each of these folders you have to respect that there are logical paths within applications, so that the files would have to place them in folders named / res / drawable, res / drawable-hdpi, etc ... It is the same structure metamorph an issue, so any item is readily convertible metamorph simply dragging folders.
No need to create any control file or anything like . The system is responsible for reviewing the folders to see what applications you want tematitar.
Folder / Xtras / system:
in this folder is where, if desired, can include files or complete applications that you wish to flash in conjunction with the subject. For example, sound files, bootanimation, scripts, complete applications, etc ... Folder / Xtras / data: in this folder is where, if desired, can not add applications to be installed system during flashing. Folder / Xtras / sdcard: in this folder you can add files to make copied to the SD card, as packs of icons, sounds, videos, etc ... to take into account considerations
Always respect the use of uppercase / lowercase letters in the names of files or folders and logical paths located within the apps.
With this system the themes may be universal, although depending on the type of files a user input may cease to be:
If you only include image files theme is compatible with any rom from any phone.
If you also include. xml may only operate in one rom, but can still work on future updates of it.
If resources are included for translations (resources.arsc) the issue would only be valid for a particular rom.
The. Zip with the issue is not necessary for you to sign flashearse, and is valid for CW-Recovery and Recorevy-RA. If you do not have to remember signing off signature checking before flashing.

This quick tutorial is based on google services and it's perfect for someone who has a few devices with different systems (f.ex Android)
1. make a complete copy of Your old nokia into .nbu file using Nokia PC Suite
2. use an Open Source NBU Explorer to open .nbu file and export your contacts to a folder (left click contacts, right click export)
3. form the command prompt (start run -> cmd) navigate to Your exported contacts folder and merge all files into one by executing command copy *.vcf all.vcf
4. open all.cvf file in the text editor and replace all TEL;CEL;WORK: strings with TEL;CEL: (since google will not regonize a nokia tags)
5. from Your computer login into Gmail, navigate to contacts and import all.vcf file
6. setup Your google account in Lumia
Has anyone ever Imported a VCF File Offline, Directly from their PC to their Android, and got the contacts with Unicode CJK (Chinese / Japanese / Korean) to display properly on import?
I have Android 4.2.2, and I've tried importing with 3 different programs (the Built-in Contacts Widget, Contacts VC, & vCardIO), and each one fails to retain the CJK Character Set Display when browsed through the phone
Of course, if a contact is added or edited individually with the CJK entered on the Device itself, it displays fine
Outlook has a similar problem by failing to display CJK properly when importing CSV contacts, however, in previous versions of Office you could import with Access which would retain the CJK Characters.. support for importing from Access & Excel DBs has been removed from Office 2013, which I assume is to boost the sales of their 30 dollar language support add on.. but I dont even know if buying that would help.
Anyway, the CSV file displays the CJK perfectly, and when converted to a single VCF, the CJK appears fine as well, when viewed in a txt editor
2 things I've tried and cant figure out is first, Converting the VCF to Unicode & saving as VCF creates a document which is not recognized by any of the 3 programs above, nor by Outlook.. Even though both files start with BEGIN:VCARD, and end with END:VCARD..
Doing a Notepadd++ file compare between the two documents, i notice a few extra lines and other differences beginning only at the point where the CJK contacts begin.. trying to fix the Unicode one up to match the original one also doesnt appear to have any effect. I HAVE NO IDEA why this happens.. it doesnt make any sense to me.. perhaps someone could explain it?
and Second, I've looked around in my phone for ways to add more support or fonts, but had no success.. perhaps someone could tell me how I might add in more support for CJK CharSets maybe in the Root, Either adding Fonts, or perhap there is something else I could add to make it more of a complete Chinese system
I'm a Windows user, and dont know much about the Linux Kernel, but its appearing to handle languages more like Apple does than like Microsoft.. Apple has a ton of programs that jumble all of my CJK files
In WinMo, i could install a "Chinese System" which gave it the same support the Chinese WinMo would have.. Android seems to support English, then selectively pick & choose whats going to be ported to a different language, not natively built to support other charsets
Perhaps also I could add CJK support to an existing open-source Contacts APK, or if someone has one in the works, maybe they could try and add it in? Let me know
thanks for any ideas
Here is my method I used to create my CSV & Convert it to a VCF
Start > Run
Type: Contacts & Hit Enter
Click "Import" on the bar above the window.. if you cant see it, make your window full screen, or click the ">>" arrows on the right
Browse to your CSV File & Click Import
Wait for them to all be imported, could take 5-15 minutes, depending on how many contacts you have
Hit Ctrl + A to select them all, and then click "Export", next to the Import button
Select "Vcards *.vcf"
Map all the fields, by dragging them from the left column to the closest similar column on the right
Browse to a New Folder just for your VCF Contacts
Click OK to Export, Export will be much faster than Import
There will be one VCF per contact, you could have thousands
Go to the folder where all the VCF files are
Right-Click, and go to Lopesoft File Menu Tools > and select "Command Line From Here"
Type the following:
copy *.vcf all.vcf
There will be new file named "all.vcf" in the file with all the other ones, but it will be much bigger, copy that to a new folder
Put that "all.vcf" file in your phone SD card
Import the VCF into your Phone Contacts
**If you need help getting a CSV file:
Outlook:
Export > Contacts to CSV
PIM Backup Database from Windows Mobile Phone
Use this Program to easily convert PimBackups from PPC to CSV files:
Thunderbird Contacts Export: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-thunderbird-contacts-export.html
Other Phones >Export Contacts to CSV Files using the phones software
Other Email Services > All your web-email sites can export to CSV for you
I figured out a work around!!
I'm not sure which step was the most important, i suspect a few.. so here is what I did:
- I had a CSV File of my contacts
- I Changed the CSV to *.txt, since more programs readily support Unicode in TXT files
- I Opened the TXT file in Notepad, & did a "Save As" in Unicode UTF-8 Encoding, also *.txt
- I rolled back to Office 2007 from 2013 because of the Language incompatibility & Language packs apparently needed, and the removal of support, I suspected it also made things difficult for other work-arounds to get unicode working properly..
- I Opened Access 2007, Clicked "External Data", under "Import", then Selected "Text", then I browsed to my Unicode UTF-8 TXT file & Click OK
- IMMEDIATELY click "Advanced" on the bottom left, Click the "Code Page" drop-down box, and scroll down & Select "UTF-8", then Click OK
- Click "Delimited", then "Next"
- Tick "First Row Contains Field Names", Tick the "Comma" Radio Button, then select > " < as the Text Qualifier (your format may vary) & Click Next
- Select "No Primary Key"
- Continue Clicking Next until you get to Finish
- Highlight the Entire Table
- Go to "External Data > Export > Text File"
- Name it something *.CSV
- DESELECT "Export Data with Formatting & Layout" & Click OK
- IMMEDIATELY click "Advanced" on the bottom left, Click the "Code Page" drop-down box, and scroll down & Select "UTF-8", then Click OK
- Be sure "Delimited" is selected, click Next
- Tick "Include Field Names on First Row", Tick the "Comma" Radio Button, then select > " < as the Text Qualifier, & Click Next
- Click Finish
- Type "Contacts" in the address bar of a Windows Explorer Window
- Click "Import" on the bar
- Click CSV, & Click "Import"
- Browse to your New Unicode UTF-8 CSV File from Access & Click "Next"
- Map Fields to the closest similar field.. Include Pager, Web Page, Mobile, Name (First Name), Surname, Email, Home & Business Phone, Fax & Notes, or whatever Fields you think you might have ever added something to
- Click "Finish" and wait for the Import
- Select All, then click "Export" on the bar
- Select "vCards" & Click "Export"
- Browse to a Location & Create a New Folder for your vCards there & Click OK - Wait for it to complete exporting
- Right-click in the folder, go to Lopesoft File Menu Tools > "Command Line from Here"
- Type or Paste in: copy *.vcf ContactsUnicode.vcf Then hit Enter & wait for it to Complete
- Copy the new file "ContactsUnicode.vcf" to a new Sub-folder, then send it to your phones Internal Storage
- If you try to import these directly into Android Contacts at this point, you will fail to read the Unicode Properly.
- Open the free app "vCardIO"
- In the Import Window, browse to your ContactsUnicode.vcf file, then Click "Import"
- Wait for it to complete the Import..
- The Import is NOT in your Android "Phone Contacts", but if you open Android Contacts & click the Menu button, then go to "Contacts to Display" then click "All Contacts" they will show up, WITH the Unicode intact... I guess they are in vCardIO's own directory.. not sure now..
- & Voila! Unicode Contacts!
You might find an much, much easier solution!
Got it from code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10107
Notepad adds 3 bytes at the start of UTF-8 or Unicode files, which makes Unix (here, Android) not capable of reading Unicode/UTF-8 files.
If you edit your .vcf Vcard file with another editor, such as Notepad++ or Pspad, and save it as UTF-8 without BOM (implicit option in Pspad, explicit choice in the menu of Notepad++), then you will be able to import it on Android Kitkat 4.2 with the standard Vcard contact import option, and it will come into your Phone contacts naturally !
