[MOD] Stock lockscreen

Ok i managed to get the stock lockscreen if you all want to use it.
There is a possibility that the file i signed has a different signature, but i dont think it will.
Remember make a backup! always.
If your phone gets messed up it is not my fault.
I have warned you, so here you are. EDIT: Unzip the file then push the one inside of the zip.
put the file i uploaded in /system/framework ............. let me know what you think!
Thank to : Ateisti for giving the info on how to modify it.
If you want to go back to your old lockscreen download the enable_glass_lock.zip, unzip it, and push the enable_glass_lock to /data/local
If your signature is different it will get stuck on the samsung, you can then restore your backup.
and if you want it then run these instructions:
You need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.

You are the ****ing man!

How well does this work with the alarm silencing and incoming calls? Thanks!!!
EDIT: Never mind...testing it out.

I'm a little confused... do we need to just change the file to android.policy.jar or leave it the name that it is and just move it to /system/framework
thanks!

Keep the name and adb push it to /system/framework (you might want to backup your old one) you can backup by "adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar"
You can also install it using root explorer if you want.

See I'm still confused, cause there is no file named android.policy (samsung fascinate) in the folder "framework" but there is android.policy.jar
Should I unzip the downloaded file then push that?

yep, unzip first...

Quick question, does this take away the option for the other two lockscreens, ie glass and puzzle? If not I can throw this in my theme port (with your permission of course) and also theme this lockscreen as well.

Your more then welcome to use it, but It does not give an option. So you would have to create a seperate theme for people who would just want the stock lockscreen.

I've tried installing this twice with root explorer, and both times my phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo when I reboot.
To install the file, I unzip the download and then place the .odex file in /system/framework. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

your signature isnt the same as my file. you can try to do this but you need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.

hey man, i'm new to all this i've done all that u said, but what is the command to pull the android.policy.odex from the phone? I think i'm putting the wrong directory in the command because I keep getting "remote object '......android.policy.odex' does not exist" thanks for this, btw i really dislike that puzzle piece unlock bs.
nevermind, I wasn't in cwm when doing it the first time. Thanks again.

I like this, can't wait to try it.

hmm... you used the file i attached and did eveything in adb? try again, i'd like to help more, but if you did everything step by idk...
You did it in cwm recovery right?

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I did it in clockwork recovery. I may of had some confusion on the second to last step. I'll try again when I get home.
Two questions: Is the silent slide functional, and are the last two steps verbatim.
Thanks again.

[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..

I could not get the EMMC to mount to my PC but other than that everything seems good.

Now if I could just change the 3G icon to the one that comes with the Inc 2 I will be all set. I have tried Ninjamorph and flashing a zip file but cannot get it changed.

The icons you're looking for are in the SystemUI.apk, in res/drawable-hdpi. The pngs you are looking for are called stat_sys_data_*_3g_lte.png
You should be able to extract those images (should be 3-4), and remove the "_lte" from the filenames, and then drag these images back into the res/drawable-hdpi folder, and use adb or root explorer to push the SystemUI.apk to the data/*-System/system.app folder (look into how the rom is set up, that's just a default path). Once you have it in place, reboot, and you should be set.
Make a nandroid before doing this, as I'm no themer lol. If you have any trouble, let me know and I'll hook you up.

Do I do the extraction on my PC or on the phone itself. Also, where would I get the files to extract as this ROM does not have the 3G icons I wan and I would not be able to extract from this ROM

No bud put the apk on your pc's desktop, extract it and inside the extracted folder go to the path that fowty named out and look for the exact file names as well. Rename them like he said. Now open the apk on your desktop...the actuall apk and drop the renamed images into there proper path. and then push that apk back to data/*-System/system.app

Just wanted to report that emmc mount to pc does not appear to work for me, either. Emmc music works fine.
Just curious, joelz kingdom rom appears to have a modified mail.apk that bypasses the Exchange mail security. If I wanted to apply that apk to this rom, should it work? I tried replacing just the mail.apk, and the app opens, but fc's when I select the mail provider to add. Just wondering you guys' thoughts, didn't know if I needed to also copy other files, or if it just won't work. Thanks.

Ok I found the four icons in a systemui.apk folder that I had on the SD card of the phone. How do I get the renamed icons back onto the phone? Do I do it on the SD card or the phone's internal memory. On this stock 3.o ROM, I cannot mouth the phone's internal memory to my PC

That's what the edit button is for
The easiest way to do this is on a pc with 7zip, as you just drag and drop and done. If you can shoot me the SystemUI.apk from the rom I'll get it set up for you.

How do I get the systemui.apk from the ROM if I cannot mount the emmc to my pc. The system info will not be on the SD card correct?

If the rom is on your computer open the rom in 7zip and find it that way..

[Q]Removing AOSP Lockscreen?

Where can i remove AOSP Lockscreen? is it in framework-res.apk?

have u backed up framework-res.apk , twframework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk ?
which rom do u have?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium

yeah, i've backed up. i'am using cryberts rom 1.2.1

Restoring framework-res.apk should do the trick.

you have to restore android.policy.jar and frsmework-res.apk

yes it is, but only if you get that sliders from somewhere

Then I would recommend to extract them from your original ROM you flashed.
Depending on which file format this ROM is in:
open up a *.tar.md5 file with 7zip (freeware), then extract system.img.ext4, download linux reader (freeware), drag the system.img.ext4 file into this program and open it. Navigate to /system/framework and copy to your desktop or where ever you like it. Than put it back on device as described earlier.
If you are on linux, you may mount you image directly (something like "mount -o loop /path/to/system.img.ext4 /where/to/mount") and extract those files. Then umount it.

[guide]easy apk modding (linux)

Most of the guides ive read on XDA say you have to decompile and recompile APKS just to make a couple of modifications to the images. Well I dont believe this to be true. I have tested my method on ubuntu 14.10 and with my nexus 5.
This guide is specifically for modifying images inside of the apks, not the code, or xml itself.
- ADB pull the APK file you want to modify (i chose SystemUI.apk)
- Double click it in File Manager on ubuntu, this should open it up in the archive manager. If not, manually open it up in archive manager
- Click on the "Add Files" button and select which files you want to replace. It will automatically overwrite the current ones.
- Make sure that you are keeping the proper directory structure and are putting the images in the proper place with proper names.
- Copy the new APK file back to your device on /sdcard/file.apk
Then, to get the APK file back on your system without causing problems, I rebooted into TWRP, mounted system and went into the file manager and copy/pasted the APK in the appropriate folder. When you get back into android, chmod 644 new-file.apk. I would not suggest trying to copy the modified APK file into your system while android is running live. Thats why I did it in TWRP. It could cause system unstability, crashing, etc... Im sure that I am not the first person to realize this could be done, but I did discover this on my own because I like to try things. PLEASE, make a backup in case something doesnt work correctly after your mod. Good luck!

Um, not to be rude but the guide on your signature shows using apktool to decompile and recompile. Soo....? Unless its another guide. And Im not saying ALL guides are, but some, and thats ok. Could you link me to your guide please? I would love to take a look at it. Thanks
EDIT - woops im sorry i didnt really read it... i do see where it says drag and drop the images... good deal. sorry
