[REQUEST] Samsung Glass Lockscreen

Hi,
I have searched the forum and couldn't find a solution for this one.
It seems easy (or at least, doable) to go from Samsung glass lockscreen to android stock. But how about the other way around?
I am using Darky's ROM which has a custom lockscreen, could anyone advise where I could get the standard Samsung lockscreen from as I kind of preferred the fact that I could swipe in any direction!
Thanks!

This is probably the file you need. It's from JPM, deodexed.
Installing it is up to you. Root Explorer is probably going to be the easiest way.
I highly advise making backups before doing anything.

widgetlocker.v1.2.4 its OK

Any advice as to how I go about using it? I already have Root Explorer. Thanks!

Easy, copy a stock android.policy.jar to /system/framework/ folder (replace it using roote explorer or similar).
Here is mine.
I will upload an update.zip later.
Copy, paste and reboot, then wait, first boot will be a little slower than usual.
### Update ###
Download Old lockscreen.zip, rename to update.zip, copy to internal sd, reboot into recovery and apply update or use CW to apply zip from sd.
Tested and working on JPM / JP6 (not tested on not deoxed rom...)
Work with CW or 2nd recovery (need to be renamed to update.zip)
First boot will be slow.

I saw this post of yours before you uploaded it as a zip and just copied into the right folder through Root Explorer, has worked a treat! Big thanks to you!

[ADD-ON] Epic, Nexus, and Moment Ringtones (Flashable Zip)

I started a thread on SDX right after the Epic came out with the manual way to get your beloved ringtones back and then some and promised to make it a flashable zip... naturally I feel the need to share this with both communities, so here you go!

I'm now able to post links, YAY!, so I have fixed the first post so that you don't have to copy/paste/edit to get to download!

Thank you much

Ever since I installed this, ring tone selection crashes android system and I have to reboot. Usually happens after 2nd or 3rd selection. Amy ideas why/how to fix? Haven't checked logs yet

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks - Gremlyn1, I've included this collection in SyndicateROM "Fully Loaded".

No idea why at all, unless for some reason the files didn't copy over... have you tried flashing again? The script doesn't do anything except remove the old sound files and add the new ones.

Updated this with new FroYo sounds (some Samsung ui sounds). The .zip is not yet CWM3 compatible, that will come soon. If you have changed the TW_Battery_caution.ogg to TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak or removed it, etc., then you just need to remove that file. This zip includes a TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak already, as it got included when I pulled the sounds from my phone.

I took the liberty of updating this package.
Changes:
CWM Script now properly erases all sound files in /system/media/audio prior to copying.
Deleted Ding.ogg and Noisy_One.ogg from Ringtones as they are identical to Noises1.ogg.
Edited title tag of Noises1.ogg from Noisey One to Noisy One.

any chance of converting it from amend --> edify?
for those of you who use CWM3 and want this on your phone.
Extract contents of zip to C:\
Open CMD prompt
Browse to ADB folder
adb push C:\epic-nexus-moment_sounds_froyo_signed\system /sdcard/system
adb shell
#su
#remount rw
#cp -r /sdcard/system/media /system
edit: I flashed your zip on my epic (went back to old CWM and RFS) and it removed the system sound when you click icons and the dialpad sound

Dialpad and clicking sounds still work here. Make sure your system volume is not set to 0.

This would be awesome if it was made Edify Scrpitagible.. yes.. scriptigible. I just dropped it via root explorer into the /system/ folder

I'm a newbie to flashing with the Epic.... already bricked my wife's phone once. =)
I upgraded to EH17 using Odin and apparently that messed up all her ringtones and notification sounds. I wanted to know if there was a way I could flash this file using CWM 3.1.0.1. I get an error msg saying that amend scripting is not supported.

Take the files out with 7 zip and open a zip file (from a theme!! don't use the srf zip or any other "rom" zips they wipe data) you know works on cwm3. Make a backup and delete all the folders inside besides META-INF then take your old zip and copy the files over to the new zip, of course without the META-INF. Just to clarify you want the new zips META-INF folder only!
Cd's or tapes?

Noob here ....I' am unable to find a zip file which is not a rom file...i wanted to follow the above mentioned procedure of modifying the zip file for using it on CWM3x. Can you tell me which is teh appropriate zip file which i can use for modification so that i can restore the default ringtones of EPIC 4G.
I flashed the legendary rom and saw that many ringtones have been taken off...i want to have stock ringtones back on my system

Grab a flashable theme zip and use that.....
Just make sure inside that zip once you delete out the "theme" contents you leave the META-INF file/folder...
Then make a folder of you own in called
/system
Then inside /system make one called
/media
then inside /system/media/ make one called
/audio
Then place the appropriate folders containing either
/alarms
/notifications
/ringtones
/ui
inside that /audio directory....
Close it up and flash it...
If that is too much for you to follow... Just use this zip I'm providing below..
Blank Flashable
Just open it with WinRaR or WinZip and you will see all the folders in place exactly as I described... Place your contents in the appropriate folders and flash..

followed exactly as mentioned above, downloaded the zip file, opened it and copied the tones as suggested and flashed my phone....the tones did not turn up in the list but i ended up loosing facebook, gmail and couple of other apps !....what could have gone wrong ?

Not sure... There is nothing there in that "Blank Flashable" except for the META-INF file with your standard install scripts and then I created the folders & path to the media/audio/
Not to sure what you could have done to cause FB, GMail and others to be lost as a result of that zip file...
BTW, you did make a Nandroid Backup before flashing as normal rule of thumb correct?
FYI, any other devs, etc... willing to verify the zip I posted has nothing to do with erasing/removing those apps described by the member please feel free to do so...

[MOD]Colored Data/Signal Icons

So I decided to make some notification icons to match the gingerbread screens that leaked, so far Ive only got the signal and data icons made, I will make more colors soon...only tested on Darky's JPO and Docs JP8...so it may or may not work for you.. im not responsible for any data loss..
Instructions using ADB and 7zip...
1) Open up command prompt, cd to your android sdk/tools folder and use following command to pull your framework-res.apk from your phone..
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Make a backup of you pulled framework-res.apk incase something goes wrong
3) Take the framework-res.apk you just pulled and open it with 7zip (you dont have to extract, just open it)
4) Download the attatched file below, open it and copy the files over to the opened framework-res.apk and copy them into /res/drawable-hdpi/ or /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/....(depends on your rom)
5) Now close 7zip and go back to command prompt and type the following
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6) Once the device reboots you should have green icons..
I will work on some more colors this week and post them as well...

Based on how system framework is dependent of the ROM it's from, you should probably include the fact that (based on your signature) you're using an i9000-based ROM. Meaning this framework-res.apk will likely *not* work with Captivate-based ROM's like Cognition.
Now, if I'm wrong about this and someone can test it, let us know and I'll remove this comment... but everyone should do as stated above and backup your original or make a nandroid backup before trying this on a Captivate-based ROM.
edit: I should say cool idea though, I like the look of gingerbread we saw on the Nexus S photos

Just tested and confirm it works on stock JF6.. just place files in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi or/ drawable-hdpi-v4 depending on rom..

Galaxy s I9010 back to stock and/or Cyanogenmod (GPS and everything 100% working))

Hey guys,
i wrote a small tutorial for all this people which have the galaxy s i9010 ( its like the captivate only for german market [armani] ) and want install Cyanogenmod with 100% WORKING GPS.
That was really the main problem, but i solved it with the help of this forum.
please extract all my files, i had to compress them but you cant use them as zip!
First of all go back to stock with your phone. You can download all files from http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=20 but pay attention:
If you dont use the following files, your phone wont work.
Donwload BOTH Firmwares and choose these 3 files for flashing with Odin:
-GT-I9010-CSC-MULTI-OXA902407.tar.md5 (444,851 mb) --> CSC
-I9010XXKB2-REV00-ALL-low-CL909299.tar.md5 (279,501 mb) --> PDA
-MODEM_I9010XXJK9_REV_00_CL737172_SIGNED.tar.md5 (12,291 mb)--> PHONE
Now you are on stock and everything is working fine but you have Android 2.2
Download the latest Cyanogenmod for Samsung CAPTIVATE on http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
- extract all files into a new folder
- replace the existing modem.bin with the JK9-Armani-modem (same name Modem.bin)
- open with notepad and edit the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
- change all entries “SGH-I896” to GT-I9010 [found this solution here] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15822109&postcount=67
- save the file and compress via 7-zip to a new zip-file ( mark all files and folders --> right-click --> 7-Zip --> add to XXX.zip
- put this new zip-file into your sdcard
- Now root your phone via "onecklickroot" ( enable USB-debug and dont forget restart after that) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
- replace this 3e_recovery file with the existing in System/Bin
- install Rom-manager and install clockworkmod (choose samsung captivate)
- reboot into recovery menu and press 2 times "reinstall packages", after that you start into the clockworkmod
- choose install zip from sd and choose your created zip-file
- copy stock gps files to your internal sd
- start root-explorer and copy all files (the folder gpsd to system/bin
the both files to system/etc)
-reboot phone
OPTIONALLY
you can install "gapps", if you need apps like google-market. You do it same like installing Cyanogenmod, reboot into recovery, install from sd etc.http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
you can use the really nice HTC-keyboard, just put the two keyboard files on your sd card, install them and choose settings/language and keyboard HTC_IME
to activate the keyboard go to sms and press a long time into the text field, now you can choose your input method
Have fun and enjoy your galaxy s I9010 with Android-Version 2.3.7

previously it was very difficult to flash I9010, this post was like real itinerary for me. ThankY!
Though even here i've made a mistake
At the 1st step while flashing with Odin DONT MARK Re-Partition as there is no Pit

No Problem , i know this phone is really difficult to flash back to stock or flash a rom with working GPS
I forgot to upload the PIT, if you need it take it from here.
Greetz from Germany

something seems to be going wrong..
it keeps telling it is updating but it doesnt proceed anymore.
Maybe this is because i cant go back to the original stock rom coz the link is broken (and i dont fully understand th explaination with the 3 files and what to do.
I have a stable andromeda 3 build running but my gps isnt working.
I already copied the gps files into their destination folders(and it asked me to replace so i did this properly).
Should my gps work when i did this or should i take additional steps to get it running?
Thanks in advance

seems like i only miss the 'phone' file , the rest i found via google on the samware site , only the phone file (and the pit , but that one is here already) i still dont have , anyone can help?

Hey yoshiwa,
you need to download all files you can get for samsung i9010 on the samfirmware site. After downloading and extracting you have 5 files, but you only need the three i posted. Its really recommend that you flash back to stock before flashing a new rom.

@MikeFRG
in your folder System/Bin exist a file named recovery. You must overwrite it via root-explorer with the new recovery-file (the modded 3e_recovery file )

@ erycx and szika87
you dont need any bootloaders, just download Odin put in the right fields the right files. You need phone, CSC, PDA, and the small pit file... and it works

Thanks man! It really does work for me. CM7 & CM9
Thank you. It work for my 9010 ARMANI. First I've installed th CM7 and used it for a month without any trouble. Now I used your manual to do the same with CM9. Really cool. It seems to be ok.

The whole instructions are in the OP, read it, understand it and follow it.

Thanks, now I am back on I9010 stock.
Can you confirm that all the file links that you posted are working?
I will try and download all files and follow the steps.
Now after going through I897 without phone modem, then bootloop, the back to Armani I can say that I got some experience with Odin and
flashing.
Anyhow do you have any idea why on ROOTED 2.2 ROM Manager will not flash the Clockwork even if it says that it is successfull?
Well now with stock 2.2 and factory reset and everything wipe the phone seems to be moving really fast compared to before I started the whole process.
What can you say about the Cyanoged, how is it working in terms of speed and lagfix?
Thanks!
Will get back.
PS: Now that I looked into the OP I saw that still a Clockwork in needed for installing Cyanogen, but I cannot install Clockwork so I cannot follow your instructions.
Is there any other way to install custom recovery except the ROM Manager application?

ROM Manager doesn't support the Captivate. You'll need to flash a custom kernel using Odin (speedmod for 2.2). The only thing I dunno is if it's compatible with the I9010.. But before doing so, you wanna do all the other steps with CM (changing the updater.script and such) and have it on the root of your internal.
After flashing speedmod, you'll be booting directly in recovery to flash the modded CM. Don't forget to grab the Gapps.

It would be really great if you:
1.put link to speedmod kernel and how to flash it on stock 2.2
2.put a link to the modified zip CM archive for I9010
The guide on how to do it.
For now I will wait for these files and a complete guide, I don't want to mess my I9010 again.
I got last CM and tried to modify updater.script, I replaced I896 with I9010, then I observed
I897 also. Should also I897 be replaced to I9010.
Wouldn't it be better if you could post all the modified files that needed to be put into the zip,
or the full zip for the Armani?
Thank you and waiting for the files and steps if you would be so generous.

I don't have a I9010 so Idk much about it. I'm only using the search function (as you should) to find the information I provided you with.
No, I don't have time to get the CM10 zip and change all the script but it's really easy to do. Just search all the SGH-I896 and SGH-I897 and replace them with SGH-I9010. Easy enough.
Speedmod kernel can be found using the search function in the Dev section.. Get the .tar version of it as you will be flashing it with Odin.
As for CM, the whole instructions are already in the OP, if you want a link, I'll just link the OP...
Friendly advice: Go read and understand what you're doing otherwise you'll end up with a bricked phone.

Ok so I will ask more questions until I get it right:
- replace this 3e_recovery file with the existing in System/Bin
- install Rom-manager and install clockworkmod (choose samsung captivate)
- reboot into recovery menu and press 2 times "reinstall packages", after that you start into the clockworkmod
Will these steps work if I dont install the speedmod kernel? Are these steps going to get me the clockwork recovery?
Can I pack the files also with Total Commander zip utility, or I have to use 7zip?
I downloaded cm-10.0.0-captivatemtd
I modified the updater script, I will post it here, can you check that this is ok:

Hello.
Back with a feedback about your instructions and a problem that I had:
I did the following steps:
1.I downloaded latest cm10 and decompressed to a folder
2.I copied the modem.bin that you provided and the updater.script that I posted earlier and then compressed back with 7zip, copied the zip to
my sdcard
3.I copied the recovery file on System/bin with Root_explorer
4.I installed ROM Manager and flashed Clockwork
5.I rebooted 2 times and did reinstall packages, then after that I got to the clockwork recovery
6.I selected install sdcard from zip and selected the image that I modified
The install then started but it halted to an error related to update.zip, it kept showing an option that said to select update.zip,
or some other options, something with adb and so on...
I kept on selecting the cm.zip but it kept on showing the error with update.zip, I selected update.zip but still it showed off the error.
From what I saw on the screen, the error was related to what it is checked in the updater.script, cm is looking for GT-i9010 but in
update.zip you have only captivatemd or something like that...
Are you sure there is no need of an modified update.zip archive on my sdcard too???
After this I got the battery out, put in on Download mode and flashed back to the Armani firmware, now it is back and running,
but I am so sad that I couldn't install CM10.
If you have any ideas why it didn't work please get back with some info, also can you check the updater.script that I posted or better that this,
can you post a modified working cm archive for Armani ???
Thanks a lot!

[MOD] Lower Auto-Brightness levels to save battery

This is best done after you flash a ROM as you might lose some settings.
(I noticed my wall paper changed and i had to sign back into Google account)
---This framework-res.apk file is different for every ROM---
Hi,
I wanted to share a little mod that could help in extending battery life - lowering default auto-brightness levels. As all of You know our big, bright SuperLCD is an excelent display but for that it uses most of our battery:/
I like the idea of auto-brightness but I find it too bright for most of the time. Setting brightness manualy to one level makes it either too dim or it uses too much battery and switching it all the time that You go outside or turn on the light is a little bit inconvenient.
In order to lower auto-brightness levels You have to change values in framework-res.apk/res/values/arrays.xml and here is how (read whole post first )
These are stock HTC Raider values:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>75</item>
<item>75</item>
<item>75</item>
<item>97</item>
<item>120</item>
<item>142</item>
<item>170</item>
<item>198</item>
<item>227</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
These are values that I use and found best for me:
Code:
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>20</item>
<item>40</item>
<item>50</item>
<item>70</item>
<item>90</item>
<item>100</item>
<item>130</item>
<item>155</item>
<item>180</item>
<item>225</item>
</integer-array>
These brightness levels are corresponding to the amount of light that light sensor is getting - the lowest value is while in the low light the highest when for example your phone is in direct sunlight. Brightness values are defined by numbers 1 is the lowest possible setting and 255 is the maximum brightness that can be set.
As You can see I was pretty aggressive with lowering these values and yet the screen is still bright in every situation. You can set them a little bit higher or lower in order to suit your preferences.
Here is a guide on how to perform this mod on any framework-res.apk using apk manager (thanks for the guide goes to desean):
1. Download APK manager and unpack somewhere
2. Grab framework-res.apk from your phone under \system\framework\ (e.g. adb pull) and place it in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder
3. Run Script.bat and select option 9
4. Once done, go to projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml and edit your values as per first post.
5. Once edited, compile the apk using option 11
6. Qn: Is this a system apk. Ans: y
7. Qn: Aside from the signatures, would .... least. Ans: y
8. Prompt: In the apk manager folder u'll find a keep folder..... done then press enter on this script. Press any key to continue . . . You have to go to "keep" folder and delete resources.arsc because arrays.xml have been changed. After this You can press any key in apk manager window.
9. Once done, input 25 in apk manager and select "unsignedframework-res.apk" by entering the number that stands for it. After selecting it You should see in apk main window in the top right corner "Current-App: unsignedframework-res.apk".
10. Now press 5 to zipalign apk. You will find your completed, zipaligned apk under place-apk-here-for-modding\unsignedframework-res.apk.
11.Rename it back to framework-res.apk and adb push the file back to your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To send it back to your phone
Prerequisites have...
The file you are pushing must be placed in the platform-tools folder of adb so if you are pushing file "framework-res.apk" this needs to be downloaded/copy and pasted in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
1: go to run and type cmd (or just open your command prompt)
2: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
3: adb remount
4: adb devices *if everything is set up right this should output a serial number*
5: adb push FFFFFFF.FFF /#####/###### *i hope my notes help here you need to put the file name in for the F(s) and in the pound signs you put the destination on the devices:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
7. adb reboot this is how you finish
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You have to copy the file to your phone with ADB or you will get a boot loop and have to re install your ROM.

http://www.zshare.net/download/99034654c32618ba/

WOW! I was just about to ask if anyone knew how to accomplish this! Thanks dude!
Edit: Er..phone just went into a bootloop. Lemme try again..
Edit2: I first replaced the framework-res.apk using root explorer...big mistake, phone went into a bootloop and I couldnt adb to it to push the apk correctly, whoops. Just reinstalled the ROM I was using and pushed the apk using adb and all is well.
I noticed two other very similar looking values: config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesUp and config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesDown. Is it necessary to change these as well?

Yes you have to use adb ill put that in the first post,
to be honest i am not entirely sure what that is for i assume, that it is when you move the slider what values it displays when you slide it, i noticed a change without changing those values.
also i changed the button back lights to 200, i find it more than enough for me.

Is there a working mirror to APK manager? The link in the thread is down.

Serious props to you jul644 for detailing this process! I've always hated how the Hero, Evo, & now Vivid I've had never got dark enough in pitch black rooms, and now I'm excited to fix that problem. I was curious though since I just modded my battery meter using UOT Kitchen, if I could drop in the backlight-modded framework-res.apk via 7-zip replacing the UOT framework-res.apk file then flash it via recovery. I wonder if that would make me sign into Google and mess with settings like you mentioned. Thanks.

How-To with UOT

You have to copy the file to your phone with ADB or you will get a boot loop and have to re install your ROM.

How, if it's possible, do we integrate this modded framework-res.apk into a UOT Kitchen zip flash file? I want to mod my battery icons and would like to install at the same time so one doesn't interfere with the other. Should I upload the framework-res.apk from this to UOT Kitchen (with my original SystemUI.apk) and then change the battery icons, then download and flash?
Thanks for your help!
*****EDIT - 2/15/2011*****
Ok so I did the framework-res.apk edits by decompiling/recompiling per jul644, uploaded that into UOT Kitchen along with original SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. I chose my battery icon mod, downloaded, cleared all the caches and flashed in recovery with no problems ) Just wanted to let you guys know how to make it a recovery flashable zip instead of pushing via ADB.

ICS?
So can anyone confirm or deny if this still works wit ICS will be trying it myself, when I get a chance, but would rather not waste time if it wont work!

It does work, I have done it. ICS it's just more difficult to decompile & recompile. I added it & 1% stock-style battery icons into Pirateghost's CWM .56 flashable ROM.

Keep getting errors when recompiling using stock telstra ICS+ root
error on 1st line after selecting option 11 ie. step 5 above
could not find sources????
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong????
---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
okay also getting this error twice before it de-compiles
the system cannot find the path specified
then seems to decompile happily???????????
Any suggestions?

I'm getting an 'Operation not permitted' when I try to remount before pushing the file back. Anyone else having this problem? I'm running a WCX GB ROM (no ICS, I'm on Rogers).

are you trying to remount your sd card? if so do not, just select charge only

No, just trying to remount as per the instructions in the first post, so /system is R/W. Setting it to charge only. No dice.
I tried doing it in recovery (by mounting /system, then going through the ADB commands, all of which are successful), but the result is a bootloop once I'm done.
Edit: It's also worth noting that newer versions of APK Manager/Multi-tool seem to have different numbering for the operations. In step 9, number 22 sets the compression level, whereas I think it used to set the active APK (which I think is 25 now).

I ended up taking the stock framework-res from the ROM, modifying the arrays.xml values as per the OP instructions, then going through the UOT Kitchen (I had a battery mod anyway). Worked perfectly.
Thanks to pauley for reporting success earlier, which provided me with the workaround.

Has anyone done this that could possibly create a flashable zipped version of it? I tried to do it myself but with the new APK Multi Tool things were different to the instructions of OP and I couldn't get it to work
Edit: Nvm managed to fix it and make my own flashable zip. Thanks for the effort OP

I have tried to do this... And I keep getting an error on the recompile side...
Just wondering... Does apkmanager require windows 7 or something... Or is there some reason it wouldn't work on windows xp?

The errors I encountered when compiling were solved by:
1) Putting Java in the windows path
2) Putting ADB in the windows path
3) Not having any spaces in the APK Manager file path
There are no OS dependencies that I'm aware of. Just open the log from within the APK manager and you should be able to identify the error.

The problem is I don't really speak java all that well...
Could I just move the java executable to the working directory?

For java, all you have to do is download the JDK (i got the 32 bit version), and then add 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin' to the windows path so it becomes something like:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\runtime\win64;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin;C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Android\APKMultiTools\
For Windows XP, you'd probably be running 32 bit and so it would be installed in the regular program files.
