im looking for help buddy im new to this...i obviously read how to install it and failed
if ur talking about adb I dont have a windows computer can't use adb even if I did I dont know how to use it to type in the code plus read the rest of my post I tried the other method and it didn't work...
anybody else?

[edit]
Look below for the correct way

I did this mod on mine and I am using Cognition 2.2beta 5 with 2e kernel.
The proper way to do this is, Get Root Explorer from the market. Make a backup copy of your framework-res.apk and save it to your PC in case you have a problem. Click over the link for the battery mod you want and download it directly to your phone. Then go to Root Explorer and find the download, rename it to framework-res.apk and copy and paste it over your current framework-res.apk. the framework will be located in the system folder. You will find the battery mods for cognition on a thread for stock lockscreen and battery mods in the development section of the forum.

That is the wrong method for Cognition based ROMS. Do not use this method, this dosen't work as an update.zip. I did this mod on mine and I am using Cognition 2.2beta 5.

Connect to your computer, make sure you're in Debugging mode, and mount your SD card to copy files from your computer to your phone. Select which version of Fightspits you like, re-name it "framework-res.apk" and copy it to your phone. Make sure to unmount your SD card from your computer
Using Root Explorer (VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure the grey bar at the top says Mount R/O, if it says Mount R/W, click it) go to location /system/framework and find the file "framework-res.apk" touch it and hold until Options comes up, and select "Copy". I paste it to my External SD card in a folder I create named "Backup".
Then go back to the location that you saved your renamed Fightspit apk, copy it and paste it to /system/framework. Say yes to overwrite the existing file.
Reboot and your done
Got it?

nevermind, not correct

@Riannon224; and @mcord11758
please re-read the OP's and the 1st line of my post,
You are correct IF you are running froyo and a Cog version prior to 6. However the OP and my post are not talking about Cog prior to beta 6. The update.zip does not work with Cog beta5 becasue Cog beta5 uses the recovery 3e and not the 2e; and the 3e recovery does not accept update's that are not correctly signed. Cog Beta 6 and Cog 7 uses the modified JI6 kernel and uses the 2e recovery which does accept unsigned update.zip's
My method does not require spending any money; and since the upate.zip does work on Cog6, use Rom Manager to backup your phone.
Your method will also work, and in the case of the OP so will mine. I have used Beta6 and 7 and my method works perfectly. I will say that your method it more details and the real proper way to do this, however to make it easy....
[edit] If you are running Cog 5 or Froyo and want to enable using update.zip files, flash the kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804226 it reactivates the 2e recovery, and is the same kerenl that is used in Cog 6 and 7

I have the kernel flashed with 2e recovery on my phone, I did it prior to Cognition beta 6 so I didn't need to flash beta 6 because I did the fix manually a few days before Designgears updated. This is from the mod thread, read it for yourself.

-Your background will default to the Cognition background since that's which APK I started from. (just change it)
Make backups of your current file(s)!
How to install:
1. Download the file for the mod you want.
2. Back up your current file!!! (cp /system/framework/<file> /sdcard/<file>.bak)
3. Replace your existing file /system/framework/<file>. REMEMBER SU if necessary.
3a. Via ADB: adb push <file> /system/framework/<file>
3b. Via terminal emu: cp <file> /system/framework/<file>
3c. Via root explorer, etc. Copy paste. (easiest method if you are unsure)
5. Reboot and enjoy.
It does not matter about 2e, that is not the issue, this battery mod for Froyo is not a flashable.zip.
In the OP the link was the deodexed version which I do not believe works with an Odexed ROM and he stated and incombatabilty issue. He does not have access to ADB and I am not trying to make him spend money on Root Explorer but it is an easy way to access the root and modify framework-res.apk when adb is not an option.
Here is the version from the OP it is not for JI6

Makes sense; I missed that part. Edited my original post as in this case will cause issues.
Can you edit your post after mine to remove those steps, just in case

No just flash with Odin back to stock and then reflash your version of Cognition, I am not sure what went wrong, that is the method I used although, I had to do this process twice to get it right. I had to Odin back to stock and reflash Cognition and it worked on the second try. Post your question on the section for the mod. You used this one I hope. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799511 Make sure you copied and pasted only the framework-res.apk in the system/ data / framework.

Dude, I would just use metamorph. You can copy any paste the png files if you don't like minimalistic battery circle.

[Q] manually deodexed and compressed apk's make bootloop

Hello,
I tried manually deodexing my /system/framework and /system/app with xUltimate according to this:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/mot...cks/30539-how-manually-deodex-your-phone.html
Now this has worked fine and I can also boot my phone fine with the deodexed files. But there is also on option in xUltimate to compress/optimize the apk files. If I do that and flash my phone with the compressed files, I get into a bootloop.
The compression seems to save a total of 20MB of space (from 103MB to 84MB) and I hope this could give the device a small speed improvement, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
I also know that there are ROMs out there that have all the files deodexed, but in 90% of cases these files are also modified (custom themes and whatnot) and I don't like that, I would just want a vanilla deodexed ROM so that I can make changes myself if I want to.
I have also searched the forum for 'xultimate' but couldn't find any hit. What are other people using to deodex/optimize/zipalign their ROMs? Are there any better utilities out there?
I'd be very thankful for any tips/tricks.
Thank you!

[DEV] 99% deodexed GRI40 XXKB1 for Nexus S framwork and app dirs only

Hi,
My first deodexing, wasn't as simple as expected, I was surprised no one did it before me...
Deodexed: entire framework dir, and most of the app directory (all but 2 apks which refused to deodex...), as long as the framework is deodexed thats ok.
Needed it to patch the framework.jar for bidi language and it works, seems a bit of a lag after each boot before showing the widgets and apps but after that it runs smooth,
can someone explaing that maybe? something to do with unzipping delay maybe?
here is the file, enjoy.
http://www.multiupload.com/FRE906144I
EDIT1: this zip is not flashable nor is it full rom, just deodexed framework and app directories, use adb to push to device, it is working for me with no problems (except the delay at boot), no fc (forced.closed) at all.

flashable zip?

its in a .zip so i would assume so. thats the only way to put new ROMs within Nexus S... unless you want to go to Odin which would be .tar

@OP
Was it bluetooth.apk & networklocation.apk? If so, I finally got those deodexed, but I couldn't get the framework.jar to deodex correctly xD
If you need/want them, I can send them to you.
#EDIT
Testing my build with your framework.jar to see if it works right..
#EDIT 2
I am still getting that da** framework fc lol. Let me logcat it..
#Edit 3
I think I might know what my issue is.. Trying a few things now
#Edit 4
I went back to my framework.jar and fixed some files & now it works.. Go figure! lol. I will upload in a bit
#Edit 5
The issues on my build were the messed up NetworkLocation.apk & Bluetooth.apk.. I fixed those, and we now have a fully deodexed 2.3.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971690

@OP You should change the thread title to [ROM] Stock 2.3.3 DEODEXED. I'll give it a flash in the morning and add it to my Roms, themes, and kernels thread You could even give it a flashy name hehe

The zip I supplied is not flashable as far as I know, I used adb in recovery mode to push the files to the phone,
my deodexed framework.jar works, I use it for a day now and also used a patching script on it to make it bidi enabled, and it still works, I get no fc's at all with it, just a delay on boot before I see all my widgets/icons, after that all ok.
I have a clean working nandroid deodexed backup which also has the bidi patch at:

without odex

I am using the GT540 with 2.1 rom
i want delete in the system/app-> odex files
but when i delete any odex files
app does not work
examples
delete system/app-> music.odex... music does not work
There are some applications run with odex
some applications run without odex (example lgecamera.apk)
I would like in working without odex every app on 2.1
how do I
please help
Thank you for answers
I'm sorry for my English

I think first you need to understand the concept of ODEXing. In stock LG roms the system applications are Odexed. "ODEX" stands for Optimized DEX - Classes.dex is usually a file that stands inside the apk file of any application. When a program is odexed the file is extracted from the apk, optimized, and saved alongside the application in the odex format. However, since the apk no longer contains its (albeit optimized) classes, deleting the odex file leaves the application broken and unusable, until you reinstall it again. Now, I can think of only one way to deodex right now, but I really don't think it's a good idea(The rom i'm using was deodexed, yet I odexed it intentionally). What you need to do is:
1. Make a backup of your phone using clockworkmod recovery
2. From that backup take system.img and boot.img
3. You will need to download and run Android Kitchen. Since it's a Linux program, you'll need that as well. Look into it.
4. Insert the 'boot' and 'system' img files into the kitchen, and use the deodex option, then export the rom as update.zip
5. Put the file in your sdcard, boot into recovery, and format system
6. Choose 'install update.zip', and install the one you've created
7. From 'Advanced' menu clean Dalvik-Cache, and see if the phone works now.
While this *should* work *in theory*, as far as I know using a backup to modify it in the kitchen doesn't always work. Also, since I imagine some of your system apps are now broken, what I told you to do should be done after first reinstalling the rom in some way, in order to get your apps straight.
Well, I hope I've been helpful. Good luck.

if I'm not wrong there should be a script somewhere i the forum

For deodexing? There's one for odexing, but I'm not sure about the opposite one. I'll do a search. Besides, some of his system apps are already screwed up, so I doubt that will help.

This kitchen can run on Cygwin (author mentioned it)

[Q] Porting MIUI Browser to non-MIUI ROM?

Hello all,
I have been using MIUI on my SGS for months now and now planning to move to a new non-MIUI rom.
I would however love to port the Browser.apk (maybe the music app too) from my current installation to the new rom.
I know from experience it isn't just a simple case of copying the browser.apk to sdcard and install it later on (application is not installed error).
Can anybody advise how I would do this?
Many Thanks,
Andy

I haven't tried it, however a system app must be placed in system/app it can't be slapped just anywhere. You will need to paste it, change permissions, then install. And probably also need to reboot.

Can someone share the apk?

I attached the Browser.apk. First make a backup of your old Browser.apk (just rename it to "Browser.apk.bak"), then put the new Browser.apk inside the /system/app folder. Change permissions to 644 (rw-,r--,r-- in RootExplorer) and reboot. Please let me know if it worked... Thanks!
(Application taken from 1.12.23 MIUI.)
Edit: After five minutes of reflection, i decided that there's just a minimal chance that this .apk works on deodexed non-CM-based ROMs - on odexed systems there's of course no chance!

Ok m8, just tried this procedure and didn't work. When i try to execute automatically FC.
I have an Huawei Ideos X5 (U8800) with the latest official 2.3 release.

Didnt worked for me on sgs2. Got fc
