[Tutorial] How to use Lg Weather Widget on CM7 or Miui beta

Tutorial to add Lg classes to the framework.jar in order to make work the original weather widget of LG in every rom.
I have made this process successfully in the CyanogenMod 7.2RC1 and in the MIUI 2.1a.
I discovered this process thanks to doc3000, which created to me the framework.jar of CM7 with Lg classes. After a while researching, I discovered the process.
First of all, make a backup of your rom just in case something goes wrong, be able to recover the terminal restoring it from the recovery, given the fact that a wrong framework.jar will produce a bootlop.
The files you need are:
1) baksmali.jar y smali.jar ,which you can get it from here: http://code.google.com/p/smali/. I have used the .jar files
2) original LG framework.jar file, for example in whatever rom STOCK, available in “/system/framework/framework.jar”
3) framework.jar of the rom to which we want to add the LG classes, available in “/system/framework/framework.jar”
4) WeatherWidget.apk which you can get too from whatever STOCK rom, available in “/system/app/WeatherWidget.apk”
1) Open a console, then cd to the folder where you have the 4 files. Run:
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar framework.jar -o outlg
This will make a folder named “outlg”, which it will have all the LG Classes of the framework.jar
2) Repeat the same with the framework.jar of the rom that we want to add the LG classes running the command
Code:
java -jar baksmali.jar framework.jar -o out
3) Go to the folder “outlg/com” and make a copy of the “lge” folder to the “out/com” folder.
4) Now run
Code:
java -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
5) Open the framework.jar of the rom that we want to add the LG Classes with Winzip / 7zip ... , and replace the file classes.dex from the inside by the one we just have created. (Don't use Winrar, it make an incorrect framework.jar with a bootloop as a result. I don't know if Winzip work, but I confirm 7zip yes)
6) Insert the modified framework.jar to the “/system/framework” overwritting the original file, and checking that it has group and owner “root” and the correct permissions ( To know the correct permissions, look the permissions of any file in the folder “/system/framework/”...)
7) Copy the file “WeatherWidget.apk” in “/system/app/” and put he same permissions as any apk in that directory, check that the group and the owner are “root” too
8) Restart the device, and here we have the original LG weather widget in our favourite rom.
This process should work in every rom in every device, not only in the Optimus Black, but I could not check it because I only have an Optimus Black.
Sorry for my english >.<
Cheers!!!

Thank you i gonna try it out. but why it is in Q&A section? Maybe moderator could move this thread to themes&apps section? xD anyway thank you dude

I have less than 10 posts, I can't post on Development forum, but you are right, apps and themes are the correct forum, sorry >.<

If i could make you a flashable zip i would make it for you. But i dont know how to. So ill just make you a zip containing all of needed files c: (btw it seems like the original poster of this left this thread D: )

Hi all,
I can do a normal zip with all the files needed. This night I will do the zip.
A flashable zip is usseles when developers make a change involving "CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base" because the framework.jar change. You need to do the process again to get a new framework.jar or you will get a bootlop.

Since u back so i ask qustion again...
Do you want me to open thread for you in themes and apps and give a link to your post... i take no credit for ur work.. so want me to?
P.S. im making zip now

I've just go through the tutorial again to rehearse all the command that I need to do.... I think I will screw up on this.... I have a busy life and I cant afford to have bootloop on phone. Just too time consuming.

Still the same itworks with CM7 framework filebut not with LGE..

[solved] Apktool not working?

This Problem solved by downloading apkmanager.
Hi guys.
I just have to make a small change in the Settings App.
I have done that before on official cm7 and even on stock.
Problem is that if i just decompile the apk using apktool, then even compile it with no change at all. Then Sign It, and copy it to system /app with permissions..It just doesn't show up in the app drawer even after a reboot..
This is surely a problem with apktool, coz i'm not even changing anything, just decompiling and compiling.
The same for cm7 themes. i try to compile cm7 themes but they just don't work when i copy them to system /app.
I copied it to sd card and tried to install from sd card. And it works, but not when it's included in system /app.

Try apk multi-tools
http://apkmultitool.com/node/14
it works without problems for me

your problem is that you're signing the apk. Stock apps, like Settings and SystemUI, cannot be signed. You need to keep the original apk (the one you've decompiled) and change files inside it.

SystemUI mods

Hi
I had played with Virtuous Ten Studio and i was trying to learn from scrats.
in the insanly cool sense there is an bad translation to danish in systemUI, in english the automatic brightness translated to automatisk lydstyrker, also automatic sound, in decompiled systemUI with VTS and edited the xml file for danish and then compiled the apk file again and pushed it to the device and checked for permission and edited them as they shoud in the file and rebooted.
i also tryed recompiled the apk and copyed it over on sd card, set permission and copy into system/app folder again and then reboots with same result
results was:
NO STATUSBAR i tryied everything but the only way i could fix it was using the orignial apk file again ?
what did i do wrong?

Edit:
after reading the link about modding battery icon it makes sense :
Sense 4.0/3.6 (ICS)
1. Pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk from your phone
2. Rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.zip
3. Using WinRAR copy attached "res" folder (in zip) directly into the root of SystemUI.apk.zip
4. Leave the settings and just hit OK.
5. Rename back to SystemUI.apk and push to device
*This method may work for Sense 3.6 ROMs as well. If not, see below.
i had read a place that the systemUI.apk is signed, and only works if it is signed, but when you decompile it and compile it again the sign disapper. therefore as i understands it you may not decompile the original systemUI.apk file, you just push the files that you edited in the file, as it say i point 3. i had not tried it out yet but i do to night and i may think it will work

I always use the last method that you describe here when modding frameworks and SystemUI's, and had no problem so far with any ROM i modded/themed, not too many to be honest, i modified Sense v3.6's Battery only, but that change was in framework-res.apk not in the SystemUi.apk.
Don't know if this can help you in any way, but i believe feedback is always welcomed

You need root to replace system apps, and some file explorer that allows messing with root files modding systemui should do the trick btw.

Try NinjaMorph and MetaMorph Android App.
But you must have battery icon pack.
and other icon pack like signal.etc
you want to change.
The simple and fastest Using UotKitchen but Work Online.
You must copy your systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to sd and transfer to your PC then upload via internet connection.
You cannot using UotKitchen. if Full you must wait.
The best way is change systemUi.apk to systemUI.zip exctract and change every icon you like to change but make sure image file format and resolution size is same. (edit this if you want change signal.etc)
Note: Your systemUI(Notification/Stat bar) force close after doing this and work normally if you reboot your phone.
Same if you want edit framework-res.apk
(edit this if want to change batttery logo.etc)
after finish zip again and rename file extension to apk.
and how to install it?? you can push it via rootexplorer & root browser. to system.
Dont forget to change permission rw-r-r
Note: Risk to push framework directly to system/framework because if push direct to your phone can make your phone soft brick/bootlooph.
why bootlooph because you cannot change permission.
then How to push ?
simple and tricky.
move your mod framework-res.apk in system/(here) set permission rw-r-r
then after that push to system/app
just replace your old framework .
automated reboot after doing this.
then finish.
second make flashable.zip
All of this 100% safe if you not make a mistake.
Big problem if fail only bootlooph or soft brick.
