i decided to make a ROM for myself by customizing some of the System apps on the ROM that is well optimized and tweaked
what i did:
-unpacked the ROM and deleted useless system apps and add other APk's and also deleted the original launcher and add other downloaded launcher
-re-ZIP'ed it and renamed it to Update.zip
-using the signer i signed the ZIP file successfully
-when i tried to flash the ROM it deliver almost NO reaction i used both option Install Update.zip and Install custom Zip
What i did wrong?
Help me this is my first move to Make some satisfy'ble ROM
sorry for my bad english

Hello,
I have made some modifications to MaliciousKen's mod of the battery percentage for stock rom:
Changes:
- the main change is to show the percentage even during charging; I based on MaliciousKen's graphic files and just made some changes in the xml
- based on v10d stock rom's framework-res.apk
- retain music notification in the status bar (i.e. same as stock version, you can disable it in Music's setting; there seems no problem in v10d version on this)
This is my first time modifying an apk! Please have a try and let me know if there is any problem
Any screenshots pls??
Will it work on mcr10?
No. This version is for stock ROM.
How do i install this ?
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007863
You'll install it as is (archive) with option "install zip from sd card".
It Just rebooted when i got to enter simcode..

DO NOT INSTALL THIS !!
If you will make this mistake, do a backup first. In case you don't ,you must flash a new rom.
Just a warning, maybe you have anything else to do these days.
Thank you very much by the way..

Sorry if it has caused trouble. Now I have uploaded another one based on MaliciousKen's version directly. So hopefully this should work for v10a/b/c.
Do make a backup (at least copy out your original framework-res.apk) before you try.

You don't need to flash a new rom, just install MaliciousKen's version. That worked for me.

hmm.... I did try before posting these files. I only have v10a and v10d stock rom and the above two mods work fine on my phone, so I'm running out of ideas now.
However, if either of the above works for anyone, please kindly let me know.
As said, it's the first time I modified an apk file, so when I found it successful (on my phone), I'm so excited to share here. Too bad if it only works on my phone
I have re-built the apks with another method and tested ok. Please have a try if you have time

which xml file should I edit in order to build a working apk ?
I tried to modify the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
and I have also put the image file in correct place..
using APKmanager to compile and sign ...
I just got boot loop afterall -__-
Anything I have missed ?
the 1st xml is for the normal display of the icon while the other one is during charging (animation)
i used apktool 1.3.1
(note the latest apktool is 1.3.2 but this one appears buggy, i also had the boot loop with it)

Well .tft are in fact zip files with different extension
It's possible that browser "detected" it as zip and changed extension by itself
Something for Neo ?

Hy,
Thanks for the rom !!
Can't flash with mobile odin pro ?
Ok all users please remove the DarkyOTA test app that you have currently in your system with some file browser or adb or whatever and download the DarkyOTA app from the market.
I have just made the first theme flashable via OTA.
So first up in the Visuals section of the OTA tab in the DarkyOTA app is the stock Samsung theme.
Please search under OTA/Updates for the text cleaner zip before you use the stock theme.
More Themes to come soon !!

Swype
Hello DarkyFellows
Would anyone be so kind to tell me how to restore Swype?
Although I tried installing the beta version available on the Swype website it doesn't look as before... It has some horrible "theme" and keys with such s ridiculously small size they become unusable.
I actually saw some reference to it in DarkyOTA's DarkyROM section [new, updated one as suggested] but I just couldn't figure out what it was for or how to use it.
Please help...
Please advise...
Cheers.
Hmm not sure if rom related but when I screen shot and send via sms the oic is all blurred and distorted? Anyone else try this?

use sg2toext4.jar to convert the .img file to ext4(generally factory.img contains the framework and app) and then use the disk linux reader tool and mount the img file which you converted using the sg2toext4. Once it is mounted, then you can double click on mounted icon and then select save to folder.
another solution is to use dsixda kitchen to extract the files!
sorry m8, i did not downloaded this ROM, hence i cant upload, but that is the procedure to be adopted.

Unfortunatelly as i saw a little from these you told me, to run it correctly it needs some reading...
And i don't have the time right now ...
So i will wait if someone could upload the 2 folders with apks to theme it...
If you want to know what is diference between odex and deodex, google it...
for me Odex means better battery and faster loading of apps (NOT performance)
this is original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514576
TUtorial in short:
***Odex your brand new rom, without any modification***
after flashing your rom, folow this steps
1. download app
2. instal and run
3. grant permision with superuser
4. confirm and wait till the odexing completes (it will reboot and you need to wait 20 min max)
5. thats it!!!!!
P.S.!!! If you dont like it or you think there is no a positive efects, simple reflash your rom
thank you for your time, see you next time
on a thread somewhere, i read that we couldnt apply themes on odexed rom. is that true?

i install the rom for the first time, i found it bit laggy. then reinstall it for second time (i wipe data-cache part-dalvik cache-battery stats before and after), everything s smooth.
Hmm i have a question .. if you odex the rom it creates an odex file for each app so this means that the rom size is incremented?? or the odex file save espace in the dalvik-cache partition?

whats so hard to think about partial odexing ?
in themes, generally phone, systemUI and contacts are themed..so remove them from rom and odex ur rom..after odexing simply put back ur files..u can do that for any system app..
same goes for the framework folder
thanks for sharing guys.
i've partially odexed my rom. i removed these apps first: contacts, mms, phone, settings and systemui, before odexing. everything went well, and it is able to change the theme.

That exactly what is partial odexing but don't keep too many apps deodexed then the point of odexing in the first place would be lost and actually partially odexing reduces stability .
So if theming is not your cup of tea just odex all and enjoy
