Bare with me, new to android. Where do I put the zip for themes I download, so I can access then in themer? I have tried just about every file in themer, but they never seem to show up within the app.
I am using es file explorer. Thanks.

Thank you.

OK I may be being stupid here BUT
I am downloading the zip/rar files and putting them in the Exported folder. I can see them when I browse BUT when I click apply mythemer crashes.
Am I doing something wrong?
They should load fine if applied correctly.it sounds like you are doing it correct,I would try uninstalling themer then try another install.See what happens then

This is just the plain CRT effect. No custom roms, no pre-made files or anything. (You need root)
I've searched for this on XDA, Google, other forums etc. but I couldn't find it.
It always showed up ROMs including this feature, not the actual feature itself
DO A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!
Also, you need root
1. Pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework/ folder via ADB (Alternate way below*)
2. Decompile framework-res.apk with APKTool/APK Manager (Whatever you prefer..)
3. Navigate to /res/values/ and open the bools.xml file with Notepad++ (Notepad works too )
4. Search for "config_animateScreenLights" and change the "true" to "false".
5. Save, and compile the file. Open the fresh-compiled file and copy resources.arsc to the original apk. (Overwrite the existing one)

Click to collapse
Transfer the framework-res.apk file back to your phone, and then switch it with the original one
You must reboot to make it work!
*If you don't know how to push/pull files via adb, you can use Root Explorer and copy it to the /sdcard/ folder, then transfer it to your PC.
If you switch it back with root explorer, programs will start to force close. Just reboot and you'll be fine

CWM Flashable template
Use the attachment below as a template for flashing with CWM.

I'll see what I can do
Edit: Looks like there's something wrong with my firmware.. I don't have a classes.dex files within framework.jar
And it's hell of a process to do it, so I might have to re-concider this :/
Edit 2: I dont have a deodexed rom, and when I try to deodex it, it fails

Sorry, I'm waaaaay to lazy to create a zip compatible for every single firmware out there. I can't take a framework file from KE2 and think it works on a phone with KF3..

Would you like to explain step 5 a bit further? I'm a bit confused. I'm using apk manager and it asks me a bunch of things and you don't tell me where to overwrite the arsc-file, etc.

Ah, so sorry.
Open the original framework-res with WinRar. And do the same with the modified. In there you'll see the resources.arsc file
If you don't know how to use APK Manager, use google.
Not trying to be rude, I'm just in a little hurry
I'll ask a mod later if he can move on of my posts up, and then I can perhaps create a more user friendly guide

Well, I can take a further look, but only if you upload your framework.jar file and then send it to me.

I read your thread, and know what you posted.
What I'm saying is that if someone makes the anim for example KF3, it would only take a few seconds to upload so other people could use, while diy CRT anim takes at least 5 mins even if you know what you're doing.

I have always liked the CRT effect, but it got kinda annoying to always have a custom ROM installed to have it (I prefer stock ROMs )

So to send a file to system in adb I used
Code:
abd push (new apk with mods) /sdcard // used to temp move it
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Is that what you were asking?

That I can do no problem, appreciate you willing to look into this, used to have CM7 on my old HTC Desire and missing the overscroll effect! The only how-to thread on this I could find was [MOD][PORT][04-16] Android 2.3 Overscroll Glow MOD for Galaxy S I9000 (Gingerbread) but it's only for specific SGS firmwares, might be of some help to you still
Hmm...I don't have a res/values folder (just res, there is no values). There is also no Books.xml anywhere in the apk. I'm on stock rooted KE7...Is the value somewhere else on my version? Am I doing something wrong?

And you decompiled it right? I know i you were to just open the apk it would have a res but not res/values.
I followed the instructions ... and used APK Manager, I complied, signed, and before i quit it asked me to delete a file...resources.arsc
do i have to do that?
also, i noticed the APK Manager made signed apk of less size as compared to original file
original apk file size = 8.05 mb
complied, signed apk = 5.16 mb
is that normal?

yeh same thing happend to mine, works fine though also use LCD Density to change the DPI to 240 to get rid of the pixelated crt animation
Has anyone tried this? None of the ones I renamed will allow me to restore because it says there is an MD5 mismatch. Is it because I renamed the folders?
yeah that's probably the reason...from what I understand, you've not supposed to rename the folders

Dang. Thanks.
Cause I like to do backups of different ROMS so I can just flash the backups instead of having to do the install zips and the current naming standard doesn't make it easy to remember which one is what.
I create a folder with the ROM name and move the back up into it.
Job one.

let me rephrase "if" i do not have internet acess.(which was the case last night)
Just send installable apk of any file manager by bluetooth to ur cell and install it from notification drop down list. This worked for me. Before sending the file through BT, enable "Unknown sources" from Application tab in the settings.

Mate, you can just download APK for an app you like to use. Google is your friend.
Install APK > Titanium Backup pro > move app to system

I have seen many users willing to change the icons of their android applications.For the willing users I have got small tutorial on how to change icons of any android applications.
Note:
This may not work in all application but as I've tried, it has worked for all of them.
Please use copy of your application in case of need of original apk files.
None of the files attached here like belongs to me.
I am not responsible for any unusable apk if messed up with.
Requirements:
1.Any android application(.apk) (you want to change icon of)
2.Icons file or any icons editing software (must be of resolution 36 X 36)
3.PC with windows
4.Sign APK
5.Your Android device or virtual machine to install
Steps:
1. Grab any android application (using applications like App Backup and restore or Titanium Backup) and send it to PC.
2. Right click that android application and navigate to open with option.
3. Select Winrar or Winzip.
4. Navigate it to "ApplicationName.apk\res\drawable-ldpi" folder.(There might be multiple icons in other folders too follow the same process to make it done.)
5. You can see file with name icon(.png).
6. Drag your own icon file of size 36 X 36 and drop it and replace if prompted (save) close your Winrar.
7. Now extract Auto-Sign.rar file to desired location and copy your apk (with changed icon ) to Auto-Sign\Auto-Sign folder (or read README.txt)
8. Run file sign (.bat)
9. Now you can install the apk manually by sending it to your SD Card.
For making you sure it really works I've changed icons of QQ player to VLC media player which is attached below.
BTW QQ player is the player almost like VLC it plays almost every video of any type.
Download are in order as listed below
1) Auto-sign Created By Dave Da illest 1
Optionals
2) QQ player with changed icon of vlc:
3) QQ Player by tencent original:

I did a search and found an HTC EVO flashlight apk. Installed it on the HTC ONE but the 3 brightness setting doesn't work.
Does anyone have the HTC ONE stock flashlight APK?
My phone is bootloader unlocked, rooted, and running on stock ATT rom. Not considering custom rom at the moment due to some app and software compatibility issues.
Thanks!

Sorry I am total newbie at this. I downloaded the zip file from the dropbox link to my computer. I unzipped it. Inside I see two folders and three individual files but non is with an apk extension.
The two folders are named: Meta-Inf, and Res. The three individual files are AndroidManifest, class.dex, and resources.arsc.
I also tried to put the entire zipfile into my phone's memory and install from there. But since it's a zip I had to open view it with ezfile. Also no luck from there.
Should I just change the zip extension to apk?
Thanks
