Get ics animations on any rom...!!!!

i am just copying and pasting capez's work all... credits goes to him
here's the guide...
1) First of all, you need to download and install APK MANAGER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
2) Extract with WinRAR, from the ROM you want to modify, the file framework-res.apk, that you can find in the directory \System\framework\.
3) Go to the apk manager folder and place the framework-res.apk file in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding".
4) In the apk manager folder, double click on the file "Script". A cmd window will open.
5) Where it says "Please make your decision", write "22" and enter. Then enter "1" and enter. Then enter "9" and enter.
The script will decompile the framework-res.apk.
6) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\anim\.
In this folder there are the animations of your rom. They consist in some .xml files decompiled.
7) Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1qjwtotg1r8umm1
8) Copy the files from the folder "anims" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes. Then copy also the files from the folder "other_files" to the anim folder.
9) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml and put these two lines under the line of "shortAnimTime":
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
10) Return to Script. Enter "11" and enter.
The script will rebuild the framework-res.apk.
11) You are asked if this is a system application. Enter "y" and enter. Then a second question appears. Enter newly "y".
12) Then after it processes, Don't press anything & DON'T CLOSE THIS WINDOW!!! A new folder "keep" is created in the apk manager folder. Go inside it and delete the file "resources.arsc". Now go inside keep\res\anim\ and delete every file with the same name as every file of the "anims" folder of the zip downloaded.
Then return to Script and press enter. It processes, then if everything went ok, in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" a file "unsignedframework-res.apk" is created. Copy it outside and rename it "framework_res.apk".
13) Now you can create a flashable zip or you can simply push it to your system.
CONGRATRULATIONS!!! YOU ARE DONE!!!
And if you think this tutorial is useful, CLICK THANKS!!!

Np Cool guide.

just testing,i'll let u know about result
edit 2 : sorry for the first edit i was mistaken,it works great

Probably better suired in Android themes and apps

good tutorial! But I suggest you to mention that IT NEEDS to resign the apk after the tutorial is finished....we need to take the META-INF from the res apk decompiled, then open the unsigned apk, delete its META-INF and paste the META-INF from the original framework-res.apk...otherwise it won't work!

Interesting, thanks.

Very nice, thanks for details.

MIUI Lockscreen Help please (Language change)

I like this MiLocker Lockscreen , but its in chinese.
What i did is here
1) I copied .mtz file from sd card to computer , renamed it to .zip and extract all
2) chaged lockscreen to lockscreen.zip and extract all
3) change all .png files of chinese date to english date (created all dates, times, days on png and replaced, with same name and sizes)
4) rezipped lockscreen.zip and delete .zip
5) rezip it (main file ) and change .zip to .mtz
6) place it to miui on sd card
and now when i open milocker app, it says there is some error on sd card and its modifying and take me to homescreen !
How do i make it work
Please help me !

Try not to rename or change the extension files (mtz, zip) : try to make it with 7zip, easier to work on drag and drop with the png and the manifest.xml u have to edit.
tlkh and picard666 helped me on the same case, here. Give a look to both manfests of each mtz, before and after the translation, it should help. I'll give a look to yours.
EDIT : can you add the original mtz pls ?

[Q] translations setings apk

can someone may help
i want to translate mising thing in cynomobile rewo a in setings to my language [polish] i need step by step instruction
i was trying but after translation and replacing whit orginal setings apk and reeboot setings gone .
i need list tools and step by step procedure

use apk tool
search for apk tool and a tutorial to use it.
when you now how to basically use it,
install systemui.apk with this string
Code:
apktool if systemui.apk
(the same as framework)
then unpack the settings.apk (apktool d settings.apk etc etc...)
then you can translate the settings.apk in this way:
Change into the /res folder
Code:
Check to see if a values-xx folder exists, where xx is the two letter code of the target language to be translated into.
For example, if you are aiming to translate into German, check for a values-de folder. If it does not exist
(and chances are that if you are translating into a new language, that it will not exist), you need to create it.
Then, copy the arrays.xml and strings.xml files from the /values folder into the folder you just created.
Open these two files (in Notepad ++) and alter the strings (the text in BLACK ONLY).
Look out for things that look like %d and %s /’ - Don’t edit these, as they are variables. Also, if you see &, it represents the ‘&’ sign, so feel free to change it.
Finally, you MUST be sure to place a backslash ‘\’ before an apostrophe, for example Proxy\’s would be the equivalent of Proxy’s.
Once you have translated and edited your arrays.xml and strings.xml files, save them, and return to the root directory of APKTool
then repack the apk as you have learn from using apktool (search for tutorials) and the the work is done!
(press thanks if this post was useful!)

is there posible to flash strings after translation via cwm
and can sombody may help me
i thinking about strings from setings apk and cmparts apk in squadzone rom

[ROM]*2.9.7*HYBRID_TMT_MIUI_3.0 INTERNATIONAL Codename "THE ONLY ONE" 09/16/12
Ladies (uh, where?) and Gentlemen (uh, HOW many!!), I'm pleased to announce that today something new is born....."TheMIDTeam_MIUI" rom development (all rights reserved)....
ROM
UPDATE 1​

TMT_MIUI_1.0 BETA LANGUAGE PACKS TUTORIAL​
Well guys, I received lots of requests by PM and in thread, asking to add more languages ​​to this rom.....like said many times, I don't have much time to devote to this hobby (that I love so much), so I decided to write a tutorial to help you add your language by yourself...........LET'S START..
1. first thing you need is "apktool" last version (1.4.3), download it from HERE
2. second and very important thing you need is a "your" language pack for 2.6.29 MIUI rom, preferably prepared for "i9000" Galaxy S or "i9100" Galaxy S2.
For EXAMPLE, this is GERMAN pack (thanks to "androidpost") and this is SPANISH pack (thanks to "Didace33")​3. now you have to prepare your working folders, one named "ORIGINAL" and another one named "MY LANGUAGE"
4. extract from TMT_MIUI_BETA_3 zip all the apks from "system/app" and "system/framework" and put them in "ORIGINAL". Do the same from "your language package" (see step 2), and put them in "MY LANGUAGE"
5. now unzip "step 1" package, and copy the files "aapt.exe" - "apktool.bat" - "apktool.jar" to "ORIGINAL" and "MY LANGUAGE" folders
6. open a command line and select the path of "ORIGINAL". Open ANOTHER command line and select the path of "MY LANGUAGE"
7. Most important files we have to work on are : system/app/browser.apk - Contacts.apk - MiuiHome.apk - MiuiSystemUI.apk - Mms.apk - Phone.apk - Settings.apk - system/framework/framework-res.apk
8. Use the command line opened for "ORIGINAL" and type : "apktool if framework-res.apk" AND when finished "apktool if framework-miui-res.apk"
9. Use the command line opened for "ORIGINAL" and type : "apktool d framework-res.apk"
10. Use the command line opened for "MY LANGUAGE" and type : "apktool d framework-res.apk"
11. now use file explorer to copy \MY LANGUAGE\framework-res\res\values-xx drawer (where "xx" is your language code, for example "it" is italian, "en" is english, "es" is Spanish", etc etc). Be sure to copy all xxxxxx-xx folders, because sometimes you'll see only "values-xx", sometimes also "drawable-xx", BE SURE to copy ALL these "xxxxxx-xx" folders TO (VERY IMPORTANT STEP) \ORIGINAL\framework-res\values
12. NOW, use the command line opened for "ORIGINAL" and type : "apktool b framework-res"
13. with file explorer, create a new folder named "TRANSLATED". Now copy \ORIGINAL\framework-res.apk to \TRANSLATED
14. use winzip or 7zip or winrar to open \TRANSLATED\framework-res.apk, DELETE the "res" folder, and let this window opened
15. use file explorer to copy all content of \ORIGINAL\framework-res\build\apk in "winzip(or 7zip or winrar)" window of step 14
16. now your "NEW" TRANSLATED apk is ready, and you can use a zip like THIS to push new TRANSLATED file(s) to your device
17. DO EXACTLY the same for ALL THE FILES of step "7"
18. TO BE CONTINUED....

..............reserved 2.............

..............reserved 3.............

[GUIDE]Port Jelly Bean transition animations on EVERY ROM & EVERY PHONE

I wrote this tutorial that explains how to port Jelly Bean transition animations on EVERY ROM & especially on EVERY PHONE!!!.
1) First of all, you need to download and install APK MANAGER:
http://apkmultitool.com/?q=node/5
2) Extract with WinRAR, from the ROM you want to modify, the file framework-res.apk, that you can find in the directory \System\framework\.
3) Go to the apk manager folder and place the framework-res.apk file in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding".
4) In the apk manager folder, double click on the file "Script". A cmd window will open.
5) Where it says "Please make your decision", write "22" (Set current project) and enter. Then enter "1" (to choose the first apk) and enter. Then enter "9" (Decompile apk) and enter.
The script will decompile the framework-res.apk.
6) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to projects\framework-res\res\anim\.
In this folder there are the animations of your rom. They consist in some .xml files decompiled.
7) Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8u5y88ais0awj1r
8) Copy the files from the folder "anim" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes.
9) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to projects\framework-res\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml.
Modify the values in those lines:
Code:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">150</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">300</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">400</integer>
to:
Code:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">200</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">400</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">500</integer>
and add these just below:
Code:
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
10) Return to Script. Enter "11" (Compile apk) and enter.
The script will rebuild the framework-res.apk.
11) You are asked if this is a system application. Enter "n" and enter.
12) Go to the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" delete the file "unsignedframework-res.apk", click with the right mouse button on "framework-res.apk" and select "7zip > Open file", delete the folder "res" and "resource.arsc", go to the folder "projects\framework-res\build\apk\" select the folder "res" and the "resource.arsc", drag to zip and close.
13) Ready, now just replace.
CONGRATRULATIONS!!! YOU ARE DONE!!!
