[root][illumination]PatternCtrler - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

SONY XPERIA U
First of all
Sorry for my bad English
I have written a little application in java (for windows / linux) that makes you to control full illumination
HowTo:
1. Make a Image with any Image Editor. (The Image must have 3px in With for the 3 leds) it should look like my example in downloads
2. Save the Picture as ".gif" (e.g. example.gif) anywhere in 8bit rgb (8bit red, 8bit green, 8bit blue)
3. Start the jar file with
3.1 (Windows) cmd -> java -jar PatternCtrler.jar
3.2 (Linux) Terminal -> java -jar PatternCtrler.jar
4. Open your pic with the "Open" button (The picture should be shown in the right of the window)
5. Enter a sleeptime (how fast should the illumination work [milliseconds])
6. Enter a loopsequence number (how often should the pattern loop)
7. Press the "BuildPattern Script" button (now you should see teh shell code for Linux)
8. Copy the code and insert it into a new file (e.g. example) without ending (e.g. .txt, ...)
9. Copy the file (e.g. example) to the root of your sd-card (e.g. with adb: adb push example /sdcard/)
10. Download a root explorer and copy the file (e.g. example) with root access to the directory "/system/bin/"
11. new alter permissions to 777 (e.g. in Android Terminal: chmod 777 /system/bin/example)
12. Enter the name of your file in Android Terminal (e.g. example) (now you should see your pattern at the illumination bar)
Have Fun with the APP
you can download my pic and generated script down there
If someone would have the SourceCode of the java Project -> PM me
If anything is unintelligible -> PM me
I will develop it further and anytime you will maybe be able to buttonclick save it to /system/bin with right permissions

Ur pic attached is not downloadable, not even can open it. please reattach upload to any other sharing link. as i cant understand it.
It should be 3px in width ? so what should be the height ? and should the background be transparent/white/black ???

The picture is very small so zoom in a while.
The hight of the picture is all the same! you can make it 10 pixels or 100 pixels
The Color of the Pixel is then the color of your led if the color is black the led is off if the color is white (red 255 green 255 blue 255) leds are white and so on..
Transparent: The Alpha chennal isn't necessary you can do it but only the bits of red green and blue will be read from the picture.

So. This mod will change the led instead of ussing default color from theme? And we can edit it the m0d to make proper mix led as default

Change Status Bar Clock to White

First let me note that all credit goes to FxN. I simply am updating the code for the Droid 2. Thank you for all the work you did FxN. Also, this is only for DeOdexed phones.
NOTE BEFORE YOU START:
Standard disclaimer, I don't guarantee anything that might happen after following these steps, and I mean anything!! These steps worked for me and I have tried to include every minute step!
1. Connect phone using USB and check that you can see your device using: adb devices
2. in your SDK/tools directory from command line do:
PHP:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar services.jar
3. Make a backup of the services.jar file that just popped in the tools folder just in case!
4. Download smali and baksmali from http://code.google.com/p/smali/ and place them in the tools folder. Rename the files to baksmali.jar and smali.jar to save on typing later
5. Open the services.jar file with something such as winrar or 7zip or whatever you prefer
6. Copy out the classes.dex file to your SKD/tools folder
7. run following from command line:
PHP:
java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
8. Now browse to your new folders classout/com/android/server/status
9. Open the file StatusBarIcon.smali in something like notepad or context or any text editor
10. Locate a line that says: .line 61, under this line it should have something like:
PHP:
const/high16 v6, -0x100
11. Change this to say:
PHP:
const/high16 v6, -0x1
12. Save the file
13. Now back to the command line and from your SDK/tools folder run:
PHP:
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex
14. If the above finishes without errors you should have a file called new-classes.dex in your SDK/tools folder now that is the same size as your classes.dex file.
15. Rename the old classes.dex file to classes-old.dex and rename the new-classes.dex file to classes.dex
16. Open the services.jar file with your archiving tool again from step 5 and replace the existing classes.dex file with our new classes.dex we just created.
17. From command line run:
PHP:
adb remount
18. also from command line:
PHP:
adb push services.jar /system/framework/
19. Finally run:
PHP:
adb shell reboot
On step 11, this is setting the font to red. If you want white change the line to
PHP:
const v6, -0x1

Could you post a white services.jar?
I've been trying to get this to happen for a while. I thought it had to do with the method of deodexing, but it turns out it may be the services.jar itself. i've talked Xeudoxus, and he's going to take a look. Also, the way he's going to do it, will be incorporated into xUltimate, so that will make this process a billion times easier.
Here you go.

does this change ALL status bar text to white or just the clock?
also, would it work on nondeodexed phones?
Currently just the clock. As for the non-deodexed not sure..you should pull you current and push this and let us know

im not sure how this is valuable if the other statbar text is gonna remain black.

i _thought_ they were in framework-res color but i think im wrong there.
I know that there are some default values stored in the status_bar.xml as i have changed the active action such as preparing sd card and stuff like that. I am trying to at least change the date before proceeding with my theme.

getting closer.. notifications are still black text.
do you mean the pictures? like the tiny icons?
Screenshot of new wifi icon
i made some screen shots.. first one should say the sms text but its black so you dont see it.. second has some list items all black..
those arent the status bar and are not controlled by services.jar.
Try this framework.apk and tell me if you sms text is white.

[Q] Is there a way to hide touchscreen buttons when playing games?

There are some games played in fullscreen which don't hide the set of black buttons containing home, search, menu & back. The problem is they are blocking some part of the screen on the games, and in some cases I'm unable to press control buttons hidden underneath these buttons.
Is there a way to hide them when playing this kind of games?
I wish... I think using the power button to bring up the on screen controls would be a good way to do it.
Ok, here's what I did:
1) Using apktool decode the apk (e.g. apktool d spiderman.apk spiderman)
2) Edit AndroidManifest.xml, and add this line <uses-permission android:name="archos.permission.FULLSCREEN.FULL" />
3) Using apktool encode the apk (e.g. apktool b spiderman spiderman-modified.apk)
4) Re-sign the apk. (java -jar signapk.jar java -jar signapk.jar certificate.x509.pem key.pk8 spiderman-modified.apk spiderman-modified-signed.apk)
5) Uninstall app from Archos. Install the modified signed apk.

For me as rooky, that sounds as you have edited the power button controls to have further option to let the buttons disappear?
How can I do the same? Unfortunately I have not the skills to do the steps you have described...
Can you post us the modified apk file?
Thanks a lot!!!

This instructions if for windows. This will remove the system touchbar (containing home, back, search and menu soft buttons), while playing the game.
You need to download the following tools:
- JDK or JRE from java.sun.com.
- Get apktool from here.
- Get SignApk from here.
1) Install JDK or JRE. Make sure <JAVA_HOME>/jre/bin is in your path.
2) Extract apktool & signapk in windows in a directory of your choice. In my case, I extracted them on the same directory in C:\apktool.
3) Get your apk file, and put it into the directory where you extracted apktool and signapk. It doesn't have to be here, but for simplicity I put it in the same directory.
4) Open command line session from windows, and go to the directory where you install apktool/signapk (cd \apktool)
5) Assuming your apk is spiderman.apk, issue this command:
Code:
apktool d spiderman.apk spiderman
This will create a directory spiderman which contains the decoded set of files from spiderman.apk.
6) Under the spiderman directory, there is AndroidManifest.xml. Using a text editor, open it. You will see several uses-permission lines. Append this line at the last user-permission and save.
<uses-permission android:name="archos.permission.FULLSCREEN.FULL" />
7) Now on the command line window, issue the following command:
Code:
apktool b spiderman spiderman-modified.apk
This will repack your files with the modified AndroidManifest.xml into spiderman-modified.apk.
8) Sign the modified apk.
Code:
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.x509.pem key.pk8 spiderman-modified.apk spiderman-modified-signed.apk
SignApk contains test certificate & private key which I used in the command line.
9) Upload spiderman-modified-signed.apk into your device. Uninstall your previously installed spiderman first. Then install this new modified apk.
Please note I'm just setting spiderman as example. Please replace this with whatever your apk is.
This unpack and re-pack sounds really interesting and your descriptions are very clear, even for someone like me!
My only questions are;
1. should this only be done on games that have a true 'Exit Game' option?
2. and if not, how would you exit said game?
3. would this method work for any game/program?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, this should only be done on the games which has 'Exit Game' possibly on the 'Main Menu' of the game. Otherwise the only way to exit is to hold power button and poweroff/reboot the device. It is still desirable that when you hold power button there's an option to show/hide the touchbar, but until a custom firmware comes up with this feature, this is what I can think of so far. I'm a bit desperate since I get so frustrated when playing games such as spiderman & avatar and i accidentaly press the 'home' button.
I think this will work for games which are rendered on full screen (i.e. notification bar is also hidden). So far I've only tested this on spiderman, avatar & plants vs. zombies.
Thanks so much for this info, constant! I think I've found a much quicker way of adding the fullscreen property though. It can be done using apk edit, a program written by Anoniem 100.
Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890199
Instructions:
1) Download the .zip, extract APK Edit.exe and run it.
2) Immediately when you run APK Edit, an Open window will come up. Select the .apk you want to edit. The .apk should open in the program.
3) Click on the content tab. Towards the bottom there will be a heading called "Other content." Scroll down the box and right click on AndroidManifest.xml and open it with your favorite text editor.
4) Add the following line to the list of uses-permission entries:
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="archos.permission.FULLSCREEN.FULL" />
5) Save the xml file after editing. Click "Apply" in APK Edit and the changes will be saved in the apk file. A backup will also be saved in case something was edited incorrectly. Click OK to close the confirmation window and close the program.
That's all there is too it. I didn't need to resign the apk or anything. I just dragged it back onto my Archos 70, uninstalled Assassin's Creed and reinstalled it from the new .apk. It kept the game data and the game ran in fullscreen with no menu buttons. It was nice not having the game controls obstructed. I can't wait to try this out with other games. Thanks!
Nice find tdude. I'll use it on my next games. Thanks.

wow, I think with this description it is possible to reproduce, even for me!
I will try it this evening.
But isn't there a way to solve that fullscreen problem generally.
I mean is it possible to extend the onscreen menu (when you longpress the powerbutton: Flight Mode, Reboot etc.) with an additional menu item "Fullscreen (enable/disable)"?
This would solve the problem even with other applications....
Will Archos perhaps implement such an option in the next firmware?

We can only hope! There's been a lot of buzz about this among Archos owners so hopefully they're taking note of it and will include it in the next firmware. Flash is supposed to be released officially for Gen8 later this month so hopefully there will be a new firmware to go along with it, but unfortunately all we've heard from Archos is news about Flash.
I think it should be that the buttons are hidden normally and a quick tap on the power button brings them up or hides them. A 1 second press turns off the display and a 2 or 3 second press brings up the power menu.

How-to edit services.jar, clock color:
1.) Go to your SDK folder.. example: C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
2.) Get your services.jar file & open it with winrar
3.) Take the classes.dex from it & put it in your android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder
4.) Open CMD
5.) Run the following command: "CD C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" (directory may not be the same)
6.) Run the following command: "java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex"
7.) Go to classout\com\android\server\status\StatusBarIcon.smali
8.) On line 34 it will look something like: "const/4 v7, -0x1"
9.) On line 34 change the above to: "const v7, 0xffffff" (That will be black)
10.) Compile the classes.dex by using this command: "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex"
11.) Get the new-classes.dex from android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder & move it to your desktop
12.) Rename new-classes.dex to classes.dex
13.) Re-open the services.jar using winrar & past your new classes.dex in there
(Notice: After editing the clock color, it will take longer to boot the first time! Be patient!)

This is awesome.
shouldnt you be able to change the ffffff in "const v7, 0xffffff" to whatever color you want?
Yeah, you can change it to whatever you want.. When I get home I'll add the directions to change the text color in the pull down and market downloads...

Sorry I wasn't using my half a brain I found my mess up I over looked the "const/4"
I will take it that I don't need apk manager. Just need to unpack, repack, and sign. I could also just use a Hex editor to change the colors on the things I would like to change such as date, notification text, etc.. Just like I did with the G1.

I am pretty sure you can't use Hexedit to edit the Clock. You need to decompile it.
Also, you don't sign /system apks
Awesome! I barely qualify as a 1/2 brain. ApkManager is sweet simple program that does the job. In the many times I have used it, I noticed that recompilation of the files are not clean after images have been change/edit. So I always optimize images inside (option 2) everytime I recompile. Does this help and worth doing?
BTW: what xml editor are you guys using? Some of the ones that I downloaded are crap.

[TUTORIAL] Bootanimation creation & tools!

DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible if you break your phone. You should always do a nandroid backup befor flashing any files. Remember to wipe your dalvik before making a nandroid to save a lot of time and space
Intro
So. Boot animations. Hard to make? At first yes. But I will explain in great detail each step in making a boot animation.
Requirements
-A photo Editing program (GIMP and Photoshop are the best.)http://www.photoshop.com/
-A text editor besides notepad or wordpad. (Notepad++)http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
-An archive manager (7-Zip or WinRAR)http://www.win-rar.com/website/index.php
My setup:
Photoshop CS5
WinRAR
Notpad++
The Tutorial
Step 1: Folders
So in this step, we need to make folders. The number of folders depends on what type of animation you want. You can name the folders anything you want as long as they are reflected in your desc.txt (we will get more into that later).
If you have a video that you want to repeat, you will need only 1 folder. (Name it anything you want)
If you want an intro (only shown once) and then a repeated set, You will need 2 folders. Most common names: (part0, part1) (intro, repeat)
If you have more then 2 sections of images, then I have no clue what you are doing but good for you for being awesome!
Step 2: Images
So this section will be a generilization of the images. I say this because every video is going to be different.
Each image in the video is called a frame. They usually vary slightly from image to image which sped through makes the illusion of a video.
-Each frame must be 480*800 px (thats 480 pixels wide by 800 pixels tall).
-Each frame must be saved in a .png format. (If you are using Photoshop, File > Save for Web & Devices to reduce the file size drastically.)
-Each frame needs to have some numarical value.
+Recommended would be something like frame0001.png, frame0002.png, frame0003.png, etc.
+Try to keep it under 300 images total
After all of the images are created, we now need to place them in folders.
Step 3: Placing images in folders
This step will vary from user to user. based on what type of animation you are making.
Intro to loop (2 folders):
With this one, you are going to place all of the images that is to be the intro to folder 1.
All looping images will go into folder 2.
Looping video:
All images will go into a single folder.
Step 4: desc.txt
This is the 'script' that tells android what to do.
Open up your text editing program. You have to use something other then notepad/wordpad included with Windows. They add some funky stuff for every new line you make which will ultimately break the script. It is best to use Notepad++.
This is an example of a desc.txt that has 2 folders in it:
480 800 20
p 1 0 intro
p 0 0 repeat
Here is what it is telling android to do line by line:
480 800 20 <-- Width of the animation in pixels. This will stay 480 for Evo users Height of the animation. Keep this 800 for Evo Users Frames per second. This is basically your 'speed' of the animation. This will stay in between 10-30 (10 being slower, longer, and choppy; 30 being fast, short, and smooth.)
p 1 0 intro <-- p is telling it to play this folder. It will always be there. Folder is to be played 1 time before moving on to the next folder. Pause the movie for 0 frames after the animation is completed before moving on to the next folder. (This will normally stay 0). Name of the folder to be played. In this case, the folder named "intro" gets played once and then it moves on to the next line.
p 0 0 repeat <-- Play the animation... Folder is to be indefinately played. The 0 is telling it to play this folderover and over. Just keep it 0. Folder "repeat" gets played
And now for an example of a single folder (same thing looping over and over):
480 800 20
p 0 0 part0
So same as before... 480px wide by 800px tall at 20 FPS
Play the folder "part0" an indefinate amount with no pause in between.
Why not go funky!:
480 800 20
p 1 0 intro
p 5 0 cookies
p 2 0 cake
p 0 0 mynion
Same... 480px wide by 800px tall at 20 FPS
Play "intro" 1 time with no pause
Play "cookies" 5 times with no pause
Play "cake" 2 times with no pause
Play "mynion" indefinately
Ok. So now we save this file with the file name "desc.txt". It must be named that. Case sensitive.
Get it? Good. Let's move on.
Step 5: Packaging
Now we are going to package this sweetness of a custom boot animation!
(this is assuming you are using Windows with WinRAR. Steps may vary from OS and program)
1. Highlight all of your folders and desc.txt and right click > "Add to archive..."
2. On the left side, change the radio buttons from rar to zip
3. Change compression method to "store"
4. Name the file. For now, you can name it anything. Eventually, it will need to be named "bootanimation.zip"
And we are done! Now we just need to set it up on your phone!
Here are 2 methods of doing this:
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource. The destination folder may vary from ROM to ROM. I am using Synergy.
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip The destination folder may vary from ROM to ROM. I am using Synergy.
-adb reboot

Change color from ffffff (white opaque) in a line below to color you want ( for example : if i have a color code 00123456 (hex) means: 2 first hex number 00 is full transparent, ff is no transparent; 2 next hex numbers is green values, then 34 is green value, 56 is blue value. For each color value, 00 is zero and ff full of that color). After all changes, save the file
