[PATCH] Deodexed app+framework for stock 2.1+OTA (1.36.605.0)

This patch is to provide fully deodexed app and framework for users of the new 1.36.605.0 OTA (stock 2.1 Sense).
Nothing has been stripped out or changed, this is completely stock. To be clear, it is NOT a full ROM and will replace your /system/app and /system/framework folders completely. If you have added anything to these directories it will be removed.
As always, you should perform a nandroid backup before applying the patch.

Worked fine for me. Initial boot took several minutes, so it appears your droid eye is frozen and it also got stuck at the HTC Incredible white screen for a few seconds longer too.

So far only problem The keyboard doesnt work. Get a FC on com.htc.android.htcime

Thanks for providing this.

I ran HTC_IME.APK through xUltimate and deodexed it there and it works fine now.
I'll attach it here for everyone, seems to work just fine on my phone now.
just reboot into recovery. I suggest the free app on market called Quick Boot. It has option to boot right to recovery or bootloader.
Put HTC_IME.apk in your tools folder where ADB is located
adb shell
rm /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
exit
adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/

Deodexing is fine, the problem is when folks try to use optipng on it.

Whats optipng?

It compresses the png images inside the apks. A lot of the deodex tools out there optimize (zipalign) and optipng as well.
This allows you to get the performance increase from zipalign, but lowers the size as well.
Zipalign actually increases the size of an apk.

Detailed procedure for making the mod:
0. Download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
1. Get your Phone.apk (/system/app/Phone.apk) and copy it to apk_manager\place-apk-here-for-modding.
2. Get twframework-res.apk (system/framework/twframework-res.apk) and copy it to apk_manager\place-apk-here-for-modding.
3. Open Apk Manager running Script.bat inside apk_manager folder.
4. Choose option 22 and select the number corresponding to Phone.apk.
4.5. Choose option 19 (compression level) and select 7 (maybe works with 9, i just tried with 7 and worked).
5. Choose option 10 and when asked drag twframework-res.apk to it.
3. Open folder with Phone source (<Apk Manager folder>\projects\Phone.apk\smali\com\android\phone ).
4. Open file Ringer$1.smali with your favourite text editor.
5. Find lines (2 lines) that reads:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v1, v5, v4, v3}, Landroid/media/AudioManager;->setStreamVolume(III)V
6. Delete this lines, save the file.
7. Go back to Apk Manager and choose option 11, when asked if a system apk choose "yes", then when asked if u want to put aditional files say "yes".
8. When "Press any key to continue . . ." appears go to apk_manager\keep\ and remove classes.dex (this is the compiled modified data or something ), then press Enter to finish.
9. Put the phone into Flight mode.
10. Go to apk_manager\place-apk-here-for-modding and push unsignedPhone.apk as Phone.apk into /system/app folder
10.5 Turn Flight mode off and/or reboot the phone to avoid FCs.
11. Enjoy constant-volume ringtones.

Can you give a bit more info about apk_manager? Thank you...

Thanks for making it work was not working no matter what I tried I am guessing the twframework-res.apk had something to do with it. Also note you can use this on an odexed rom as long as you delete the phone.odex file.

Or you can use root explorer and just copy it over from the SD card. Remember to enable flight mode first and reboot.

Once in a great while flight delays are a good thing. Was able to bribe a very nice person at the bar fir use of their laptop in exchange for drinks. Gave this bad boy anothr run, and after more than a few frustrating days of fc's and this not working, it finally works!
Big thanks to all who collaborated in getting this to the Vibrant. s15274n, Yetis, MoWeb, d3xt3r, it took us a little bit to figure it out, but we got it. Of course all credit goes to the_ozyrys who found the original fix for the i-9000.
I do think that deleting the classes.dex when compiling as a system app is the key. I followed the steps in the op, only thing I did differently was decompile with option 9 instead of 10, and didnt need the dependencies that way. Recompiled as a system app, keeping all but the classes.dex. Went to flight mode, then renamed my original phone.apk from system/app, and pushed the file as per the op. Basically I did everything the same accept for using option 9 to decompile. This works perfectly. No fc's, and on any volume level I have a steady ringer.
I can't post the apk right now, thought I'd be able to if I logged onto the website rather than the app from my phone, no dice, but I will post it the first chance I get.
*********
Edited: APK attached, this is only known to work on GingerClone Final, build date 12/21. Repeat, I made this from GingerClone, and it may not, probably won't, work for other roms. Backup your files as always. Not with this apk, but I have been stuck in an fc loop with previous attempts and needed to push the stock one via adb, probably won't happen, but a word to the wise.

Its a rom specific mod as per the i9000 thread. And a new one would need to be made for each rom to match changes made to the respective roms and frameworks. Its not a one size fits all mod. D3xt3r posted one for jl5, specifically nero v3, if that matches your rom you can move it over using your favorite root explorer app directly from your phone.

Yes you should be able to download his .apk and use it since you are on the same rom. Here is mine for stock JL5 odex/deodex.

Anyone do this for stock JL5?

I am using the attached Phone.apk from Post #1 for Nero V3.The only FC I get is when in Settings->Wireless and network-> selecting Mobile network= FC
EDIT: sorry the FC had nothing to do with the Phone.apk. It was due to the throttle mod I had.

This was running great when I installed it yesterday. Then today I kept getting dropped calls and FC's. I've since reverted and everything is fine. Can't figure out why it worked for a day then decided to give problems.

Thanks for the heads up. I was just testing this on KA5 for funsies. It looked like it went ok but there was a prob with temp root at the beginning and it looked like a few java errors at the end. I'll re-download and give it another go.
Edit: Ah, looks like it's working now. Temp root worked and it downloaded the modem and kernel.
Edit2: So it looked as though everything worked fine, but when I went to install it I got
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/cat

Yea I got the same thing as well. Thanks again, will give it another go.
Update: The process was more in-depth when deodexing. Signing went through np and when I flashed through clockwork it worked (goodbye splash screen!). There must be some issue with KA5 though. It got through to the Galaxy S screen and then started vibrating and then blackscreen. T_T

Thank god for this.. (Deodexer)
Thanks untermensch, your the best

Really really appreciate this. Thanks a bunch!

Most useful tool EVAR!
I T W O R K E D~!
My final attempt last night did not shoot out the "signed_ROM.zip" at the end. I ran it again this morning on KA5 and when it finished I had the signed_ROM.zip in the folder. Put that on my internal, flashed through clockwork and viola! Doedexed KA5 with root and modded 3e recovery. I can't thank you enough Untermensch for putting this together for everyone.
"Give a man fish feed him for a day. Provide him with tools to fish and feed him for a lifetime." (Yea I tweaked it but you get the idea!)

I noticed one thing. During the deodexing process I got [null] on one file in the core.odex. After it had all finished up I looked in the framework folder and core.odex was still there. So am I correct in assuming that it did not doedex properly? Other than that everything else looks golden.

Oh this is sick. i was looking for this all day the otherday when i was trying to deodex ka5! you rock and rule. i cant wait to explore the possiblities!

I deleted the core.odex file and rebooted just to see what would happen and it soft bricked and is stuck at the Vibrant screen. So it seems the only issue lies in deodexing the core.jar at this point.

can i use this to port a rom? forgive me if that is a noob question. just wanted to know if i had the right idea...

yep that was an baksmali error, likely you could run the script again and it
would baksmali OK.
this script is a real system stress test, any way I increased the java maxmem
setting for framework files to 1024m added error logging and the script will
now stop if there is an error. hopefully to prevent a broken ROM from being
released.

Pretty sure the core.odex [null] error I got happened every time I ran the program. I ran it once after the 1:25am update and it happened. That is also the time it did not produce the signed_ROM.zip. I ran it again this morning after I saw the OP had been updated and it did produce the signed_ROM.zip but I still got the [null] error on core.odex. I'm going to Odin KA5 and do it again right now. I will let you know how it works out.
On a side note. I flashed the one I recieved this morning with everything being deodexed except the core.jar and it ran great until I deleted the odex file. Anywho, will test now. Also, not sure if this matters but I am running 32-bit Windows 7.
Update1: Initial news is good. Core.jar was deodexed properly with no errors. Will let you know how the entire process fairs once its completed.

Worked perfectly. I got no errors and everything deodexed properly. Flashed it on my phone and it's running just fine. You are awesome.

Thanks for retesting, glad it worked, there are thousands of files being generated
an lots of java processes being spawned so there are bound to be an occasional
error. I have added an automatic retry when there is an error to the next version
should be posted some time tomorrow.

I'm about 3/4 the way through testing this out - it seems to be working just fine with the exception that every command is appended with "ATTRIB" is not recognized as...
Hopefully it will work anyway.
One thing I noticed that might speed the script up in the beginning would be a root check, I have already rooted this rom but it still needed to run rageagainstthecage.

I've been looking for something like this forever now, thanks so much! Can't wait to play with it.

[SCRIPT] Soft Brick Recovery

For Windows users, I've created a script based on designgear's thread on steps for recovery from a soft brick.
designgear's original thread on soft brick recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966405
-----
This script is all-inclusive. It will temp. root (no need to use SuperOneClick), create a /data/recovery folder, push services.jar, framework.jar, and framework-res.apk to the /data/recovery folder, and then copy them to /system/framework
Instructions:
USB debugging needs to be ON.
Unpackage the .7z archive
Execute "Run Me - Atrix Soft Brick Recovery"
Let the script run, and wait for the phone to reboot.
(Reboot might take a few moments, leave your phone alone and wait it out!)

How do i use it, if my phone is stuck in the "M" screen?
Tried to run while in Early USB enumeration - didn't work.
Any other option from recovery / fast boot / SRD - that may work to un-brick?
Thanks in advance

The best way I can figure is to force the phone out from the moto screen. Put the phone into early usb enumeration. using Adeo0.7z click install as soon as the phone mounts. That got my phone to boot up yesterday. Once you hit the power button, to lock or turn off, reboot. It'll just go back to the moto screen and hang.

It looks like I'm having a problem with the shell root.

Use this temporary solution (which utilizes SuperOneClick), until I can get a chance to fix things.
1. Download SuperOneClick from shortfuse's site: http://www.shortfuse.org/
2. Download my temp script, and unpack
3. Unpackage and run SuperOneClick
4. Boot the Atrix into FastBoot, and enable Early USB enumeration
5. When you see "Reading ODM fuse: 1", plug your phone into the computer and run Shell Root with SuperOneClick
6. Once rooted, run the temp script "Run Me - Atrix Soft Brick No Root"
Your phone will boot into Android, and then reboot. Leave things alone until that reboot happens, and you no longer have the blinking red light.

Sorry 'bout this, I hope to get my original script fixed asap.

I used this script because I wanted my stock notification bar back so I used it. However I followed the instructions from the previous post and it still gave me a boot loop. I figured out that there was something with the services.jar and the framework.jar in the 7z file because I used those files the manual way and it still looped. So i replaced those files with these here http://hotfile.com/dl/108780455/13cd9f6/recoveryfiles.zip.html and it worked!

I just checked both scripts, and MD5 is verified against retail dump:
Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US
If you pushed a different working file, can you send it to me so I can look at? I've ran pushed these framework files multiple times to my phone now.
Thanks,

I was wondering how I could edit the framework-res.apk (it can be found in the /system/framework directory) file and not brick my phone, I've tried putting a modified version
in a signed zip file that was supposed to be for that very purpose, a stock update.zip for getting rc29 to 1.5(and yes, I did flash my phone back to rc29) and I recently tried to just take a file manager in root mode and copy-paste-overwrite, but I just soft-bricked my phone halfway into the process, probably because it was still mounted
P.S. I did mount the /system directory as rw
my phone:htc dream,no 2g-3g contract(wifi only),rooted (universal androot),stock 1.6 drc83(but I can get it to rc29,1.5 and crc43; at least I think thats the name of the second update),stock recovery,superuser elite+superuser- latest, su binary- latest, busybox- latest binary, and about 5000 scratches.
--edit-- can also get cyanogen recovery,and root through cm 4.1.99, and cm4.2.15.1.

So is your goal to root your g1? Have you followed any guides to root? Can you give just a bit more detail of end goal and a bit confused about what os you are currently running. Also its nice to get all info from bootloader screen

I've actually already got cyanogenmod 4.2.15 on it so rooting isn't really an issue right now.
What I really want to do is theme my phone, because I really like the ICS buttons and black statusbar - but I want to wait until I'm more experienced
before I try to port cm7 to the g1 (as far as I know, cm7 is the first cyanogenmod to support themes).
P.S. since this is being sent from my g1 - I can't currently post my bootloader info; but I will as soon as I can.
Also. I want to know how I can sign the framework-res.apk after changing it to my satisfaction.

Sorry, reading my last post (although 2months old) I must have been trying to reply to someone else
You don't need to sign the framework-res
Just decompile with apktool, make changes, recompile (make sure to add the metainf and manifest from original back in) then you can create a flashable.zip to flash it and chmod, or add it to a ROM and sign the ROM or use adb when in recovery to push it and change permissions

How would I sign the rom if I put it in one?
Apktool gives me errors when I try to recompile.
Ninjamorph from the market makes the changes, but they don't take hold.
P.S. perfect timing with the reply, as I posted my reply only about 45 min. ago!

If there are errors recompiling write those down and I'll take a look, as for as signing the ROM there are many ways, I use signapk for windows and one that amonra made for Linux, just Google search sign ROM android and you'll find many ways

Is there any posibility that I could just send you the rom I want to mod & a zipped folder containing a modified framework-res, and have you recompile/sign it? I just don't want to brick my phone. Thanks in advance!

If its a ROM for the g1 I already have it, how about just sending me your modded apk along with a link to the ROM and I'll make you a flashable.zip to install
And FYI, this isn't something that could brick your phone, recovery wouldn't be effected so worst scenario is you would end up in a bootloop

The rom is cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 and I can't quite remember the link, but I'll post a zip with the frmwrk-rs and my email. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Here is a zip folder with the extracted/modified framework-res, if you don't have the rom I mentioned then ask for it in a comment.View attachment framework-res.zip

Sure, I'll take a look when I get home

Thanks! Once you've signed/recompiled it, send the rom to me as a google drive/google docs file at [email protected] (or, if you know another better method, tell me) and I'll test it.

ok so finally got to a pc,
here you go
havent tested it at all, it recompiled but there was an issues with
framework-res\build\apk\res\drawable-land\Thumbs.db'
and
framework-res\build\apk\res\drawable\Thumbs.db
they were skipped but the rom should flash and whatever mods you made should be present other that this, dont have time to peek around and see what you did

Does the ROM flash for you with you current setup before the edited framework-res? What I mean, if you were to flash the update-cm4.... (Whatever the name) right now it flashes correct? With your current SPL, radio, and recovery. The only thing I did was recompile your framework-res, swap it with the one from the ROM you mentioned, rezipped and signed the ROM
I can't think of any edits you could have made to framework-res that wouldn't allow you to at least flash the ROM, may get stuck in a boot loop or never boot, but the ROM should flash

I looked inside the rom you sent me, and I didn't recognize any of it.
this is a link to the rom I got the framework-res from:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogen-u...pdate-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip&can=1&q=4.2.15.1
from what I saw, the one you sent me looks more like a flash image than an update.zip,
if you look inside the one that I was talking about, it looks more like an ota, and I can flash it in cyanogen+jf 1.4 recovery which I got
from the flashrec app (not on google play anymore, from internet only).
I don't know if an unmodified version of the rom you sent me would flash, but the one you sent me seems to have problems in general.
No errors that would point specifically to the framework-res are appearing.
Here are the files that I modified: View attachment 2212696, decompile your own framework and paste/overwrite the contents over the contents of the res\drawable directory in the framework-res.apk.

I'm pretty sure that's the same ROM I installed you apk into, I'll be home shortly and take a look again, could have made a mistake

This rom that you gave me is about 10mb larger than the one I use, and takes 30 seconds to load in recovery and freezes everything momentarily.

@DREAMWAVE_devteam
yeah same rom, even checked SHA1 to make sure (with the ROM before i added your framework-res)
which is 1604kb compared with 5589kb of the original. so whatever was changed is what wont allow it to work
can you just quick go over how you decompiled and what changes you made, i know you linked something and ill look at it but i dont have a ton of time to dig right now so a brief overview would be nice
