[Q] About framework-res.apk

I wrongly attempted to replace the framework-res.apk located at /system/framework with another one that's themed using Root Explorer and mounting R/W, right after I tapped on replace, my Tab hung on me and repeatedly did the single vibrate, then double vibrate, indicating that it's about to Force Close or become unresponsive. I tried to reboot, but it got stuck on the Samsung logo right before it should show the lockscreen. I never got to the lockscreen, and I'm wondering if I can ever replace back my original framework-res.apk that I backed up to my Desktop? or if not replace, place inside, perhaps it could be missing.

Flash your rom again.

You mean like the entire system? I understand that it's possible to flash or push back the framework-res.apk only, back into it's place? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I just heard about the possibility.

If you can't get it to boot that won't be possible.

[Q] How to enable voip settings on GB settings?

Hey everybody,
Does anybody know how to enable Gingerbread voip settings? ie. to have voip settings listed under Settings > Call settings?
I have I9001, so if there is need to change framework-res.apk please let me know.
Once I managed to to edit those settings but I can't remember how or from where...
Thank you.

1) get root
2) put android.software.sip.voip.xml to /system/etc/permissions to enable SIP settings (SIP will work only via Wi-Fi)
3) update framework-res.apk if you want to use SIP over GSM/3G:
framework-res.apk:
res/values/bools.xml
config_sip_wifi_only - change value of this from "true" to "false"

I got runnymedemod007 and the xml file is definitely at the right position, but voip doesn't appear. Is there anything that's I'm still missing?

[Q] Brightness range; adjust minimum brightness [solved]

Is there some way to adjust the minimum brightness?
Right now, the minimum setting is 10 for both manual and auto adjustment. The phone does a brightness of 0 just fine without the screen going black (set via "echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/s5p_bl/brightness"). Unfortunately, that setting doesn't stick and gets reset by the lock screen to 10.
(I'm running the current 4.2.2 Slim Bean ROM.)

Since there are a lot of threads of people unsuccessfully trying to change the minimum brightness, I'll post my solution.
At least for Jelly Bean, the minimum brightness is set in framework-res.apk.
Inside is the resource file res/values/integers.xml with the relevant keys config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum and config_screenBrightnessDim.
framework-res.apk can be updated with apktool. With the latest ROMs that have the dark UI stuff (e.g. Slim Bean 4.2.2 v6), the standard version of apktool doesn't work, a working one is at the github SlimRoms repository:
https://github.com/SlimRoms/apktool
Update steps:
- decompile framework-res: apktool d framework-res.apk (e.g. for Slim Bean, get framework-res.apk from Slim-galaxysmtd-4.2.2.build.6-OFFICIAL.zip:/system/framework/)
- edit framework-res/res/values/integers.xml
- build new framework-res.apk: apktool.bat b framework-res
- copy META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from original framework-res.apk to new framework-res.apk (7zip works fine)
- replace /system/framework/framework-res.apk on the device, the CWM file manager worked fine (wiping cache/dalvik-cache may be required)

pls add this info to FAQ
if someone could please add the info above to a faq list somewhere?
I have been searching for weeks for this.
a big thankyou to tni.andro.

Hi,
Isn't minimum brightness should be configured also in lower level ?
Why does the device "ignore command" when doing "echo 0" to brightness ?
Is there anywhere this apk already builded so I can use the apk binary ?
Thank you,
Ranchu

[MOD] Enabling Hidden Features like Hide NFC and Call Recording [MOD]

This is absolutely not my work. I pulled and tested the following edits from here. I've been looking for this information for a while now and only came across it by chance. Big thanks to tiboric for putting the information together!
I have also tried some of the CSC apps out there that try to help. I didn't find any that worked if anyone knows of some that work post and let me know. I'll edit this OP but for now if you want something that works, this is the way to go!
This is not my work, just sharing.
To enable these you will need root, a root explorer and text editor.
Simply navigate to system/csc/Features.xml and add the corresponding line to the end of the file but before the very last few lines that say </feature> and </Samsung>
(if this file does not exist, create the csc folder in system and a txt file within it then change the name to features.xml and add the correct lines and save) if this does not work you can try the same method with Others.XML in the same folder
*Make sure you make backups of the stock files in case there are issues.*
