This is a guide I've compiled to simplify Androidiani theming on the XT720. Took me forever to read posts & work through trial & error... credit to Kalagas & Zepplin Rox for the majority of this post, I just compiled into one guide.
------------------------------------------------------------
1st install Open Recovery
If you already have open recovery, but not andriodiani, download Androidiani to your desktop.
Open the zip & copy the “open recovery” folder to your sdcard root (copies over all previous OR files).
Copy the “update.zip” file from Androidiani to your sd card root & leave it there (nothing else to do with this file at this point).
Then boot your phone into recovery (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
You should have the androidiani menu above the standard OR menu.
Just reboot your phone to normal operating android os.
Download the desired theme to your desktop from theme developer.
Use windows/linux via usb to create the following folders on your sd card, you have to create the folders manually the 1st time, 1-4 below:
1) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/apps/All modded .apks
2) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/bootanimation/empty
3) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/fonts/empty
4) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/framework/framework-res.apk
Open the theme zip & copy the files to their respective folders you just created.
OK lets go for it....
Reboot into Androidiani OpenRecovery . (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
Just to be sure make Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache.
Then choose Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu - Menu Install and Restore Theme - Install Theme, pick the install option and let it finish.
After Theme is installed, make again Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache and Reboot.
You should have your new theme up & running.
Go Pack Go!
Do you have any links to some themes?

What am I supposed to install the update.zip file? Just copy it the the sd card root and leave it there? Or is there a menu option in Androidiani/OR that I'm supposed to choose? Little confused at that point. I can reboot into Open Recovery and there's a multicoloured droid in the background (as opposed to a straight green one).

also it will tweak system and automatic app2ext if you has mmcblk0p2 (it has partition menu and covert to ext4/nilfs2 (default ext3)
you can use update.zip and 2nd-init for run

I did indeed get it working sort of, Thank you! I lost access to the menu that pops up when you hit the power button (the shutdown/airplane mode). The phone would just power the screen down and then rebooted immediately.
As such I'm going back to square one and reflashing it back to 2.1, and try upgrading to 2.2 again. Not as bad as it sounds... since my 32GB class 10 sd card arrived this morning.

I don't think you need to go back to a 2.1 SBF, just nandroid >> restore the desired version.

This sounds like a new topic... start a new thread... this is the problem with forums... I started this thread so people don't need to sort thru unnecessary BS to figure out Androidiani & Androidiani applied thmes for the XT720. Just sayin...

So... is there any reason to not use androidani? Any reason to stick with vanilla Open Recovery? (I'm on the fence and haven't tried androidani)

The Androidiani Open Recovery is a modded version of OC, It just adds additional functionality. No reason not to use it IMHO.

Try copying this file to the root directory of your sdcard.
If that doesn't work try using the Install option in Dexter's System Recovery app.

you have another solutoin offer??
Use it at your own risk!
This mod is NOT for XXJPM!
It has been made from the framework files of a JPQ and JPS, so on an odexed JPM rom it causes bootloop!
It's for XXJPQ and XXJPS.
So it wont make the Browser.apk crash like the older 5 Lockscreen Mod did it.
(Check out the last part of this post!)
(You must be rooted and know how to push files to the phone. And one more thing: first of all you should check the free space in /system (e.g. if you use RootExplorer), especially on the odexed roms.)
5 Lockscreen Mod and Extended Power Menu for Odexed XXJPQ and XXJPS.
5 Lockscreen Mod and Extended Power Menu for Deodexed XXJPQ and XXJPS.
(Framework-res.apk and Settings.apk are stock themed.)
Android LockScreen for odexed/deodexed JPS/JPQ* rom and also for odexed XWJPK is attached below.
* 'android.policy' has been made from JPS, but it works on JPQ too
HOW-TO:
5 Lockscreen Mod
It’s started from the point you have flashed a clean, stock JPS or JPQ via Odin: the device is already booted and you have unplugged the USB cable from it.
Getting root access
- Go to ’Settings > Applications > Development’ and enable ’USB debugging’
- Plug the USB cable back into the phone > run SuperOneClick.exe > press ’Root’ and wait
- When the ’Test?’ dialogue is popped up, say ’Yes’ > you can close SuperOneClick
- Your device has been rooted
- Directly after these steps, do the followings:
Pushing modified files to the phone
- Download the suitable zip for your odexed or deodexed JPQ or JPS rom
- Extract the downloaded zip
- Navigate into the extracted folder
- Run ’push_5lckscr....bat’ and wait*, your device will have rebooted
- Modded files are already pushed to the phone, now you can use your favourite lockscreen and the extended power menu
Of course there are other methods, RootExplorer etc.
*If you are on an odexed rom and see something like this in cmd: "failed to copy 'system\framework/framework.odex' to '/system/framework/framework.odex': No space left on device" and "rm failed for /system/framework/framework.jar, No such file or directory", don't panic, it's normal due to the low free space.
History:
Hi again! Now I have come with a very nice and well known mod. However this one is for people who want to have the 5 Lockscreen Mod and Extended Power menu, but don't want to have a deodexed rom!
So you can download this mod for your odexed XXJPQ/XXJPS from above. I've just realized that the only reason for me to deodex a rom is because of those damn lockscreens and the extended power menu. But I could not find this mod for odexed roms, so I had to odex it by myself.
---
Hello to All, I've attached an android.policy.odex for those who want stock Android lockscreen on their odex XWJPK.
---
Hi All!
After I had deodexed a stock (only rooted) XXJPQ rom, I tried to apply the 5 lockscreen mod on it. Seemed like everything was good... But when I had opened the "Internet", it force-closed immediately (nor factory reset didn't help).
So I had started to search the reason of this issue. After a while I figured out that the FCing of the Internet app was because of the "non-JPQ" framework.jar. So I took the JPQ's framework.jar and added a .smali file to its classes.dex what is necessary for the extended power menu (com\android\internal\app\ShutdownThread.smali).
The result: working 5 lock screen mod with extended power menu on JPQ without crashing of the Internet app!
If interested, you can download it from here. Framework-res.apk and Settings.apk are stock themed files, so you can delete that lines from the batch... Actually, the relevant file is the framework.jar.
Try 5lockscreen mod
mY custom rom has stock lockscreen :L

Here is the way to add Stock lockscreen on a firmware.
But care, on this step :
4. Replace the contents of this method with the attached file getLockScreenMode.txt.
Dont do this, juste replace on you method getLockScreenMode()Lcom :
PuzzleLock by TapLock
GlassLock by TapLock
Then follow the rest of the steps
I tried this tutorial with XWJPK, but when I try to deodex the file I always get this error:

Which file do you try to deodex? Do you mean all of them? In that case, I use this one, so I recommend. It always works for me. Sorry, but I don't understand exactly the source of your problem (maybe I'm too tired)... What's your goal at all? 5 lockscreen mod on a deodexed XWJPK?
Sry, but I don't understand you exactly, too
I tried this Tutorial and therefore I need android.policy.odex and so a odexed framework, right?
But I'm sorry, at this topic I'm totally new at this topic. It would be nice if you could upload the modded files for JPK...
I am using stock rom jpm rooted by default..i want this 5 lock screen..
Can I get that..?
Please tell me the step by step procedure..

You got this error because when you tried to deodex android.policy, you forgot to pull all the .odex files from /system/framework. For some reason it is not enough to pull only the android.policy.odex
No, I pulled the whole framework, so I can't understand why I get this error!
Strange... By the way, I've uploaded the modified file you asked for.
Thanks a lot
Is there any tutorial about pushing this to the phone? I didnt see it anywhere...
I will update my first post as soon as I have enough time. It will be a few days since now I have to work...
Hi,
Can you make a only Android Lockscreen for XXJPS? I dislike the Extended Powermenu and the Option of more lockscreens, but only want Android Lock.
Hopefully someone can provide me that!
Stylooo
Nice job could you please post some basic instructions for porting this to some other stock(odexed) rom I know how about compiling and decompiling using smali etc just tell me which files to edit .
Sent from my GT-I5800 using Tapatalk
I dusted off a script I had been working on to allow easy customization on my original EVO.
It all still works on my rooted Evo 3D without many changes!
The script automates the use of adb. Downloads and decompiles the frameworks from your evo/evo 3d. Then you can make any desired changes (examples provided). Recompiles and uploads back to device.
Offering it for people to play with. I also included precompiled framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk for those that like my choices. Otherwise use the script and create your own.
Enjoy
NEW! 1.1 Beta. Now creates flashable update zips
Beta update posted for new OTA
After recompiling your frameworks select option 5 from the Main Menu. An update.zip will be created in a directory called "flash" Try it out and please give feedback.
1 - Extract GingerScript to a folder on your desktop.
2 - Connect your phone via USB cable to your computer.
3 - Open the GingerScript folder you created and doubleclick on GingerScript.bat.
4 - Select item 1. (Process Framework-res.apk) This will download your framework-res.apk as well as create a back up in the /tools folder. When prompted, select yes to decompile this framework. This will create a folder called extracted-framework.res.
5 - This is where it gets tricky. Inside the extracted-framework.res folder, there is a folder called res. Inside THAT folder are multiple directories. The two you are concerned with are marked drawable and drawable-hdpi. *NOTE* In some builds the "drawable-hdpi" folder is named "drawable-hdpi-v4" Thats why it's best to modify your own framework.
6 - In the GingerScript folder, we will work with the Example.Icon.Framework-res.Circle.Battery folder. In this folder, you will find two directories: drawable and drawable-hdpi. Copy and paste the contents of the two directories from the Example folde into the corresponding folders in the extracted-framework.res/res directory. This may overwrite some of the files in each directory. This is okay!
7 - Go back to the script; it should still be on the gray screen. Select option 3 - recompile framework. This will take a minute or two so go grab a drink while it does its magic. It will seem to be hung; I don't have a progress bar created in the script so just hold tight while it finishes.
8 - Next, select option 4 - Upload new framework to phone. This will prompt you to put the phone in recovery mode; I'm not going to explain that part. Once the phone is in recovery mode Mount the /system partition using the recovery mount feature then press any key in the script window to push the file to your phone.
9 - At this point, clear the Dalvik Cache at a minimum and press a key once finished. the phone will reboot. Now, this provides the battery mod. To modify the other status bar icons, return to the main Menu and select option 3 to modify the systemUI.apk. The process is EXACTLY the same as the framework-res.apk but it uses the contents of the Example.Icons.SystemUI.mod directory. If problems occur, recover the backups from the /tools directory and push them to your phone.
I hope this helps. If you are still running into issues, please post what step you having issues with and remember, black and white goes with everything! *grin*

Extract the Gingerscript.zip on your Windows PC with your phone connected via USB.
Inside the folder double click on Gingerscript.bat. It's fairly easy to figure out from there, It creates a backup of the files before modification as a safety precaution. This just makes all of the framework compiliing/decompiling less of a hassle
Everything needed is in the zip file so you will need nothing except a text editor and a program to manipulate the png images. There are example folders in the zip that contain my modified png images and edited xml files
Note: The script references the use of Clockwork Mod Recovery, but TWRP works just as well. Just clear the Dalvik cache after uploading the framework. Then Reboot. I'll clean up the scripts wording at a later date
I will give it a shot here in a minute, and I will let you know how well it works.
I like your icons. Which APK does what?
The framework-res.apk contains the battery mod and a few minor icons. The rest of the status bar icons are in the SystemUI.apk.
The com-htc.resource.apk wasn't modified in my example, but it does contain images.
I wish there was a easy way to determine what resources are used but there isn't. Some status icons are located in the individual applications resource file as well (My script can't handle those)
I'm going to give this a go in a little bit when I can. Can anyone else confirm their success and any additional steps required (eg - clearing cache and dalvik). Thanks.

I've never been successfull creating a update.zip. I can never seem to get the syntax correct on the update-script.
If someone more experienced wants to create one, I'd love to take a look at it and see what I'm doing wrong.

Did you modify *Your* framework files or use the ones provided? The ones I used as examples are from a stock rom that is still odexed
I recommend you modify a copy of your own framework files since there may have been changes in the viper rom. It should still work. If you want you can send me a copy of your unaltered framework files and I can take a look.

That requires the creation of about 60 new icons.
Easier method. Find me the icons..or even a Original Evo mod package and I can extract the icons from that.

That is correct - You'll still have to wipe the Dalvik and let it rebuild on boot
Let me know if it works for you
This has only been thested on stock rom HTC ONE M8 for AT&T, don't try it if you are on another network.
First thanks & credit to user Wonders_Never_Cease who helped me figure this out.
Your device must be with bootloader unlocked, rooted and s-off'ed. How to unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702325. How to s-off: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/. (Adb & fasboot knowledge required.)
I'm not resposible for any damage done to your device, you do this at your own risk. But it's safe as long as you follow instructions.
Steps:
1. Download this file: https://mega.co.nz/#!HZgDUCoK!OnMUJ-B5XPiBUuTbL1sHSBK6bI2PfAUBHOnpK82pleQ
2. Place on SD card or anywhere you want but remember where you copied it to.
3. Use any file explorer, I recommend Root Explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en), go to /system/customize/CID/ and rename default.xml to default.xml.bak (just in case anything goes wrong, so you can restore the original). Then copy the default.xml you downloaded in the first step to this folder, verify the permissions on default.xml.bak, and change the permissions to the new default.xml to match the backup file.
4. Reboot, now you should have the Google Boot Animation & the HTC Bootup Sound!
In case you want to come back, delete the default.xml and rename the default.xml.bak to default.xml, that easy. Once again thanks to Wonders_Never_Cease, without his direction I wouldn't have found this, so all credit to him, I just made it more accessible.
Posts your results or if you have any issues.
Do you know if the boot animation changer in ROM Toolbox will work with the AT&T M8? I've been sketchy on trying it.

HI all
It's for the 3830 model i'm not sure if work on any other device
Few months ago I finally could change my tablet's battery icons so I want to share with you if you want to try
You need:
-A cwm backup only if a fc appears (then reboot in recovery, advanced restore, restore system)
-Xposed gravitybox module working (it's no necesary but is for avoid the bug appears
-a rom that works (for easy way) I recommend deodexed I cannot remember if works on odexed roms
-Rooted and knowledge about flashing through fastboot (for hard way)
If I miss something I will edit
This mod allows you to change the battery icons of your tablet and works, but it has 1 bug that I don't know if can be solved:
this is the thread where i found how to do the mod
The bug is that gravitybox can't change the color of the battery icon, but you can change the battery icon and this includes the color so it's not a big problem.
I'll try to ask for support at least for the screen freeze, but for now i'll tell you the method for installing it
There are 2 ways:
------->First of all have an updated backup if something goes wrong you need to restore!<---------
Then download my modded apk i'will attach all of they
easy way
is modifying a .zip file (you can do it even in your tablet but is slower and you need like 1.7 Gb free. In computer use zip editor I.e. Winrar)
1.- Extract somewhere in you computer,tablet
2.- Once made it erase systemui.apk and systemui.odex (if is odexed)from extracted directory/system/priv-app
3.- add my modded apk
4.-create zip ( recompile the files that you extracted)
5.- flash it in cwm recovery like a fresh rom
You can also edit the zip without extracting just go to the directory erase the files that I metion below then add my systemui.apk modded and wait for finish then do step 5.-
hard way
is when you don't want to break your head with you computer or you don't have it or don't want to use etc.
1.-locate my modded systemui.apk with a root Explorer then copy or cut
2.- go to root/system/priv-app/
3.- select systemui.apk and systemui.odex and erase them (maybe give you constant fc so you need precision and be patient
4.- paste my systemui.apk
5.- set permissions to rw-r-r (I'll attach a screenshot for how to do it)
6.- reboot and if you're lucky your battery icons will change wothout fc's
If you have fc from step 3.- this will take you a while only continue
If works go to NOTE 1 for avoid the bug and everything will go fine
Maybe hard way is too much
I attach only those that work maybe I need suggestions about the charging animations
problems check post 2
NOTE 2:
tis mod also allow to modules to change the battery icons with an xposed module xbattery themer If I not wrong. Also a theme compatible can change your battery icons maybe is a problem but is not a bug this is normal
NOTE 3
The first screenshot is v1.5 from attached zip then v2.0 and then 2.5
There are 2 versions In v2.0 only changes the charhging anim
Not working?
I'm not guarantee that work on your tablet but maybe there are mistakes
1.- check the permissions don't follow the image the root explorers aren't the same
If really doesn't work you need to restore a backup or flash a non-modded rom
The problem may be caused in odexed roms so you need to deodex and try again
for those that don't have a cwm recovery
If you don't have a recovery use fastboot and flash a stock .Img.gz rom
(turn off your tablet, boot in fastboot)
(fastboot flash system drag and drop file to command prompt, enter)
Or use the tethered cwm recovery for backup-restore your current rom
It's at your own risk and I'm not responsible for damages but it's too much it's only an apk
There is dual boot thread, I'm still without test it but if you have it and the dualboot allow you to go to the root of the tablet you can overwrite the apk for a non-modded skipping the steps but again i'm not sure if this is possible

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let me anwer your questions
Yes it's only for 4.4.2
Only if not works you'll have several fc becuase systemui can't start or your wallpaper will be black because system couldn't install the mod during the boot
I posted in post #2 if you don't have cwm recovery
Flash a stock rom in .gz format through fastboot sorry my mistake but as it says will return your system to stock (without xposed and root) so I don't recommend it
Ok:thumbup:
I will test it soon

UPDATE!!!
The problem of the screen freeze is gone and the Google search ring displays so you don't need xposed for trying to fix
After all it was a problem in apktool but I found it and the problem and now work perfectly
But I haven't time to make with other battery icons, for now I'll upload the systemui.apk that I'm using also it have other things but hope you like it.
I am sure that now can be decompiled the app and rebuild with other icons and xml.
Sorry for the fast reply I don't have Internet but I needed to reply that the bug has gone
