I have made a flashable zip by following balamu96m guide. You can find it attached with this post, If it doesnt work out delete the settings.apk from system/app/ and replace it with the one attached in this post and set permissions as rw-r-r.
Update: 29-April-2012
- Battery Use menu now directs you straight to the settings/About phone/battery use.
- Added new flashable zip

Nice..

When flashing it gives me error status(0) operation aborted.

I have attached a new zip, give it a try. I am not sure if it will work or not. I am not much good at creating flashable zips.

Added new screenshots

Flashable zip doesnt work, need to replace settings.apk (I recommend rename it to settings.apk1 for backup, then copy the new settings.apk, I srly recommend ES file explorer, Its free and no need to change/fix permissions).
Thank you!
Any bugs we should be aware of? I read in other threads (ICS settings in CM7) that manual brigthnessdidnt work and FCs, and another minor bug with location and security, I dont have these issues with this version, brightness work as it should and no FCs... the only thing I dont like its the "Battery use" takes you to the ugly ass battery history from "dev tools" I think... any way to change it to the real battery use located in "settings/About phone/battery use"

Does any one knows the android target class for the battery use in about phone.
for ex:- android:targetClass="com.android.settings.wifi.Wif iSettings"
I need the line marked in red.
And for the flashable zip, I gave it a couple of tries but I wasnt successful in creating one, maybe someone could take a view on the updater-script and let me know what I did wrong.

Sorry for the late response, it should be one of these:
com.android.settings.fuelgauge.powerusagesummary => I think is this one, don't remember
com.android.settings.fuelgauge.powerusagedetail
com.android.settings.BatteryInfo => I think it goes here right now...
com.android.settings.fuelgauge.powerusagedetail => Or maybe here, this one sucks
Sorry I don't know witch is witch but I can't see right now my phone is unenviable due to "rebirth"
------------------------------------
Alright tested, its the first one, the second one its the same as clicking the graphic. If you can change it to the new location I would be very very happy

It was made for O2X and no one using O2X is having the problem. And also the battery menu is included since its there in ICS too, just to make it similar to ICS settings.

And also this mod is made almost 4 months ago, when u flash it its replacing the settings.apk. I am pretty sure during this 4 months CM must have made improvements to settings.apk, so there for by flashing this mod u r replacing the new settings.apk with an old one.

ok i understand but dont you update it? or just please make one with deleted battery menu so i can use it

I will try to do something about it on Saturday, but I wont be able to test it since I dont use the O2X now so I will just upload the new file here.

[MOD][ICS][CWM]Flashable Quad lock screen for Stock ICS 4.0.4.

Hey guys, compiled the AOKP basic Quad Lock screen and made it flashable via CWM for the ones who love the stock "flavour" and sticks to the ota rom like me.
This can be used with stock DEODEX and ODEX roms aswell.
Hit thanks if you enjoy it .

n00b question: how do we know if our rom is deodexed or odex?

Look into your /system/framework/ dir, if there are many .odex files you probably got an odexed rom, else is deodexed.

I've flashed it and everything is perfect. There isn't any lag when launching the phone/message/camera app with this lock screen.
I'm currently on a ODEX rom (official 4.0.4) and running air kernel V4.0
Thanks!
And btw, post more things for ODEX roms!
*******ooooops, found a bug (glad I made an nand backup)**********
When the phone is on the dock, the lock screen doesn't work properly. The lock screen seems ok, everything is on it's place, but the shortcuts aren't working.
-When I use the camera shortcut, nothing happens;
-When I use the phone shortcut, nothing happens;
-When I use the message shortcut, I get to the phone app instead of the message app.
-And finally when try to unlock the phone, I get to the camera app.
Anyway, if you don't have a Nexus S dock, you shouldn't have any problems.

Thank you for your report.
Yes, this is not meant to be used in Landscape, ICS lockscreen rotate isn't enabled by default. Also didn't know the existance of such dock got my NS since less then a month.
Took a look again at the code and figured out wich is the problem:
the lockscreen has fixed position that overlap each other when in landscape.
Normally it doesn't matter cos Unlock goes from 0 to 1, and camera from 2 to 3.
But the problem exists when you add more shortcut:
As u can see is easy to understand why 2 were working (wrong) and 2 not at all.
This would require some more coding.

Thanks for the answer. Well, as much as I enjoyed the new lock screen, I won't be able to use it since my phone is most part of the day docked.
About the dock, it's very simple, and only charges the phone. And while the phone is docked, you don't have access to the volume keys , perhaps a design problem.
(link to the dock)
And also thanks for the ODEX mods!

Atm one overwrite the other since they involves the same files, you've to mod those files with both mods at same times to make them working like i have on my phone.

is there a way to revert back without nandroid? I get to the new lock screen, then it says apex launcher stopped working, then android keyboard, then reboots. Rinse and repeat

it was nandroid time. tried again, same thing. Not sure why it was doing what it was doing.
Nandroid again. This time, I took my framework, decompiled it, changed the lock screen rotate, compiled, signed, flashed. Same thing. Why or what would cause it to get to the lock screen then just reboot??

@technogravy will post soon a zip with both mods.
@black please report wich rom and wich file are you using , will investigate the issue.

Im on stock 4.0.4 GSM
I know yours had more changes, mine only had one change, and I even decompiled an compiled a untouched one and got the same results.
I decompiled framework-res.apk
changed <bool name="config_enableLockScreenRotation">true</bool>
saved recompiled signed and flashed
Now, Im a total noob at this, so I may have messed up somewhere, but my mod did the same thing yours did so thats where Im at.
Maybe later today, ill nandroid again, go to 100 percent stock, and try again. Now that I think of it, I have a battery circle mod that gave some issues and the guy who fixed it did something with the framework file too. :/

@black you can read the explanation few post above. This is not intended to work in landscape mode. It would require a complete code rewrite as for now the positions are fixed. So if you set that value to true it'not gonna work. And if you use other mods there's always a chance something won't work, this is the main issues of odex roms.

[GUIDE] How to make live wallpapers to work on custom roms

Some custom roms dont have the live wallpaper function enabled....Actually the file to make it work is deleted along with other files to make roms bareboned.
This is a guide to enable live wallpapers on those roms....
NOTE: Its not a very complex thing, rather quite simple and easy and nothing new.....but i found so many noobs and beginners with this problem. So I decided to come up with a guide.
Steps:
1. Download the attachment (LiveWallpapersPicker.apk), Put it on your SD.
2. Use a root explorer and move the file to "system/apps"
3. After moving the file long press on the LiveWallpapersPicker.apk and select permissions from the menu, then set permissions as rw-r-r- (see screenshot)
Download your favourite live wallpaper, apply it and enjoy

the attached file is for galaxy ace (or may be for Gingerbread)
if you have different phone or you are on higher version of android....pick the apk from your stock ROM and replace it with the current one and set permission.

Hi
I hope you get this. I have a galaxy gear all rooted and with null 15 rom. I have everything set as per your directions. In fact it was already preset that way including permissions. Nothing works. I'm really just trying to get bubbles running with no luck either. Any other possable sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Also do you happen to know what I can do to unblock bluetooth tether on my t889 note 2 . Thank you

hi. thanks for this tutorial. however when trying to apply a wallpaper the app crashes. ..
I'm running android 4.2.1
any help with this?
thanks!

nevermind , got the correct apk and now good to go, thanx!

same problem...
Any help with this again?
I was able to get it to work before, but now just fc.
Can't figure it out.
JB 4.2.1 (I think I have the right apk)
If anyone knows where to find the exact match, please post the link, as maybe this is the problem?
Pushed to system, changed perms etc.
I do notice that the LWP option under wallpapers is with "apps" not in a separate section as I remember it to be...
The only other thing I can figure is flashing a zip through recovery, but I don't see any zips for a LWP...
Doing this for my wife, as I got me a new device, help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi. How about editing android translations? I mean adding % of battery to "Connect your charger" lockscreen text. In Polish.

What do you mean?
Sent from my A100 using xda app-developers app

Let's see. If you turn on the battery notification on the lockscreen, you can see "Battery 45%". In this notation, "45%" is some kind of variable. I want to use this variable when the battery drops below 20% and you can see only "Connect the charger". I want to look it like a "Connect the charger - 13%." And I want it in Polish. I suppose it can be done by editing the translations.
In the simplest terms: where can I find the texts "Connect the charger", "Charged", etc. for different languages​​?

On framework-res.apk /res/values/strings.xml

There isn't strings.xml or even values folder inside framework-res.apk. Tried on GDX_v030 and GingerCM_v11

Need to decompile the apk, not only open like a zip file.
u can use apk-tool, Bart, etc.

AOSP navigation buttons

Hi. I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=264333452
because I wanted to mod an existing theme to get AOSP navi buttons. I zipped the files back up and renamed the extension to api but it says error parsing the file. Can anyone help me make a theme based on the original "Air" defat theme that has AOSP buttons instead of the tweaked sony ones? Thanks.

It's not problem to build theme or edit one, the problem lies in fact that you have to patch services.jar file and disable signature check - we can't do that without root...
As soon as you decompile theme to edit it it will lose assigned keys, even if you haven't changed anything - system will accept that theme but theme manager won't apply it to system.
Only wallpaper will change...

Ohh... I understand. I wish Sony would release a themes creator but it looks like they won't.
Do you know how rooting affects future updates and if it affects the DRM keys?

In 99.9% of cases if you have rooted device you'll be able to receive information about OTA update but you won't be able to install it.
Same thing is for unlocked bootloader.
Root won't affect DRM keys but as we can't root Z2 (at the moment) without unlocking bootloader - your keys will be lost forever.
Right and proper way is to first root device, backup TA partition and then unlock bootloader...but, as I said, we can't root BL device for now...
You won't lose much if you lose DRM but I prefer to keep it.

As soon as guys find out a way to root BL status NO - I'll continue my work...
Z2 threads will be something special...
We have to support that dev thread and if we get Niaboc and all others on Z2 will have a lot if fun...
Check that thread and see those names...
We would have awesome ROMs, great ports, awesome kernels and best recoveries...
