[Q] Help? my ignorance might come in to play

So i rooted and all that stuff, and i install a battery icon. the SGS Battery Icon Mod 2. and it reboots, but when going to the homescreen after reboot, i keeps looping into a black screen and back to home, with 3 vibrations. What is the problem and how do i prevent this in the future? I also had this problem when installing a font..

I believe you still have to flash back to stock using odin. Sounds like the battery mod you flashed was not compatible with your current state.
If you do not know what Odin is you can find it in the captivate development section

battery mods are not universal across devices and roms. the battery mod has to be made for your particular rom/firmware version (jf6/ji6/jk3/jk4/jpu/etc) you can make your own battery mod by visiting: http://circle.glx.nl/
you will need the ability to copy the framework-res.apk out of your current running rom (located /system/framework/)
the file that the kitchen spits out is clockworkmod flashable

I didn't know about that kitchen! Sweet.

Is it really that hard to extract a theme from a Rom?

Hi!
I have been trying to extract the theme from this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869408
It looks awesome and I want to add some animations from a different ROM and use it with Darkys or Assonance for example but this seems to be much harder than I though unless someone has a quick and easy for dummies procedure for poor me that is.

It should be as easy as extracting the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, mms.apk, bootanimation.zip and fonts as that is what is listed as being themed in the ROM thread. Then use the theme porter posted in the Android Themes section of XDA to inject them in your apk's, then manually change whatever didn't copy over.

mmm sounds simple when you say it lol I will need to dig deep here it seems but that is a good post to point me towards the right path

I usually just extract the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the ROM I am taking the theme from and the ROM I want to put it in, then I copy the res/drawable-hdpi folder from the old apk into the new one. It is a quick/dirty method, and wont let you change font colors or add a circle battery mod to one without it, but I have never had problems with it before.

You also have to be sure it is compatible with the rom you are using. Some roms have different xml code behind and if you simply put the framework and tw framework in your rom you risk getting fc at boot and not getting past them.

Both are JPY Roms so I hope that is enough. I guess worst thing that could happen is having to flash again

Try first with /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
I'm attaching a cwm zip file that has those files as found in Doc's 6.1 rom.
Just replace them with the files from whatever rom you want and keep that as a backup in case something goes wrong. It will save you from reflashing

If both are JPY roms then it shouldn't be an issue.

I tried doing what Ryukeima mentioned but I ended up with a Frankenstein of a theme as not all things from the them I wanted came over to the new one!
This is going to require some practice. That ROM has also some very nice Icons for Launcher Pro so is going to be another thing to look for..in fact I think I could be happy just getting those Icons.

Rip all the framework folder. Make a CWM zip and flash it over your ROM. It should work without problems. Then try to either apply animations on UOT kitchen or inject them with metamorph.

Sorry for my noobness...Just trying to learn this stuff
So if i rip out all framework folders from one rom and manually replace them in another rom (like i did for kernel..replacing zimage file)...will it work?
Also, can anyone tell me how to make a CWM zip...i know there is a post for that on XDA but i am not able to find it...

To answer the first question, it won't straight out work. You have to add the images to the file 'framework-res.apk' in the 'drawable-hdpi' folder located within it. Different framework-res.apk's will differ from ROM to ROM, and will just FC or bootloop your phone if you use one that it doesn't like. That's why most themes have the ROM they will work with posted in the title. If it is the same base ROM (in the case of my phone, running Assonance, any JK3 theme will work), then it is as simple as drag & drop. But if it's between say Axura and Assonance, it would have to be manually changed as stated above, since there may be subtle differences in the framework.
As for the second question, here ya go

If the theme was made for JPY and the Rom you want to put it on is JPY, it should work. However, there are sometimes system apps which need to be installed with the theme. Easyest thing would be to rip it off, put it on your rom and see if it works. Experiment a bit, thats how you'll learn.

thanks and thanks.
Its really interesting to have a full control of your phone....so i am enjoying learning this stuff....tried using UOT kitchen but got errors...

There's plenty of jpy based themes in the i9000>theme section.

You could metamorph it if it doesn't require any xml edits... it looks like Marilyn img edits which could be taken foment that rom..

i have a question along these same lines. if one wanted to copy the notification pulldown from a different ROM|theme, how would you do so? im using Perception 9.5 which is built on JK3, but the Androdena theme is built on JPX files. all i want is the notification pulldown elements. can you just copy those image files over and go? i always see themers talking about 9.pngs and i was just wondering if they'd prohibit just a simple copy from one tw-framework to another.

[Q] ¿how can I Change the Battery Charging Animation in Samsung Galaxy Mini?

I still don't know how to do it. My Galaxy Mini has the EmanoN V3 Rom Installed, and I know how to change the boot animation (and where those animations are located) but I don't know anything about the Battery Charge Animation When the Phone is off.
I've read other threads but none of them helped me with this concern. It seems that in Samsung Galaxy Mini the Charging animation file is in other location and not in /System/Media.. I really want to change that old charging Animation (The big green battery charging xD)

It's in u framework.
Easy way is to use Uot kitchen or any theme to change it.
Of u want to change it yourself..then u should replace a few icons in ur framework with others of ur choice.

Oh, are you talking about the framework folder located on /system? because in that folder there are only .jar and .odex files.. oh, and 2 .apk called "lidroid-res" and "framework-res".

framework-res.apk is the one.

Cool. It's seems that the EmanoN v3 ROM is not in the ROM list in Uot Kitchen. Well, In the case that I want to change the battery charging animation (when the phone is turned off) manually, how could I edit the 'framework-res.apk'?

Oh u want to change the charging anim when powered off?
It's close to impossible.
Very complex and I have no idea.
It has something to do with the kernel.
The only person afaik who has managed to do that is Chainfire with his app no moar powah and it's incompatible with Qvga.
My bad, sorry.
I didn't read ur OP with care.

[Off-Topic] question !
How can I change the default battery/Wifi/Network Signal icons (Stock 2.3.6 - S5570DDKQ7) to the one below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19943236&postcount=97
I really liked the ICS blueish battery icons, and had enough with Stock battery icons. Anyways I'm not concerned with Launchers or anything else, that's not a matter

Do you mean the icons that are located in the status bar, right? Did you try Uot kitchen?
I'm more curious about how to change the battery charging animation when the phone is turned off. A friend told me that I could not change it because "that animation is part of the 'cellphone'. It's like the Downloading Mode image (that cannot be edited)" but I'm not sure about that..

Yup, the one's that located in status bar. I've been browsing around in UOT Kitchen for sometime, but its not letting me to do anything (Its full)
And, also I'm too lazy to set all icons myself So its easy if anyone had modified framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk with ICS battery icons set. The ICS battery icons in the link that I posted before, is a perfect choice for me.

impassiable for odex rom ....
if you have deodex rom or custom rom can use UOT kitchen or edit frameeork-res.apk and systemui.apk .
it's so easy for deodex rom.

Hi,
I was also looking for a similar solution for my android phone. Someone on the google group mentioned that this is a part of the bootloader (http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/7ab362a235b840d2). You got to modify the bootloader to achieve this. This is not part of android.

CaynogenMod settings.apk port

This is port of CM9 settings.apk
This is beta1
BUGS
display settings does not work
***HOW TO INSTALL***
-make a backup of original settings.apk
-copy settings.apk to sd-card
-copy settings.apk to /system/app/
-reboot phone
boot can take a long time
Tested on Revolution De-Sense Rom v2.1
Please report bugs and visual defects.

This looks promising.
I just want to say that it's not for everyday use, but I hope it will be.

No text in the apps section, icons still show up.
Sent from my HTC Desire C using xda premium

I've got text there, this is due something in your framework, I suppose.
And I'd like to ask, how did you port it? Maybe you can do the same with the Phone app, so that the lockscreen would function as it should?

Likely caused by the sense 5 fonts, ill switch back and see if the issue persists.

[Q] Battery % Icon in UI?

Is anyone aware of a System UI mod to add battery percentage to the indicator for the First, without the need to install a secondary app?
Thank you. --Larry

A quick update:
Found the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store which does a very good job. Along with a large selection of some easy to use pull-down switches in the Notification Bar is a battery icon showing %. Actually very nice.
However, not being exactly what I was looking for I tried to use the OG Battery Icon Mod from XDA with my (mostly) stock (Odexed) ROM. It was unsuccessful.
Thinking it might be a problem with the Odexed ROM, I flashed CWM Recovery to replace my previous TWRP Recovery (for some reason the DeOdexed ROM des not flash with TWRP) and then flashed JMZ's DeOdexed v1.08 ROM. Unfortunately, I ended up the same failure when running the OGBattery Mod Tool (the tool was unable to download the systemui.apk).
Therefore, so far I am unable to make the UI modification, but am pleased to find the Notification Toggle App -- and with some help from Titanium Backup my phone is back where I wanted it, now running a DeOdexed ROM. I went back to TWRP Recovery. I have CWM on my A500 tablet, but TWRP just seems easier on the First.

You can use UOT kitchen. Just Google it. If you feel adventurous you can download my sense ROM and pull the diff battery mods I have there and push them to your device. All you need is systemui.apk. but this will only work if you are on a deodex ro.

Feeling adventurous, I downloaded your sense ROM & extracted it. In systemui.apk I see there are two (apparently duplicated) res folders and the sub-folders/files in res are also duplicated. Is this an error in the build or necessary as place-holders of sone kind. I thought I might try to replace the res folder in the deodexed ROM with this one, but it concerned me.

@jmk : After the confusion (to me) I tried a couple of more things:
1. Replaced systemui.apk in stock ROM with the systemui.apk from your Sense ROM. That did give me a Sense horizontal battery with %, but was too small to see. I was hoping for the percent circle.
2. I used UOT Kitchen to attempt to make the modifcation, but Kitchen returned a SHTF error, so no results yet.

Success!
I loaded & set up JMZ's Sense ROM with the icons I wanted, then copied systemUI.apk to the sdcard. After restoring my "stock" ROM I renamed the systemUI.apk in /system, then copied the one from the sdcard to /system & reset the permissions. I now have my desired battery icons!
@ jMZ: Thank you for the guidance. --Larry
