zHk3r - for the new iphone pngs
teslacoil - for the widgetlocker for sure!

I take no credit at all, i created this thread because many people have PM'ed me for the pngs and tutorial.
Ok lets start shall we? You will need;
- Widgetlocker(Buy it first cuz its not free)
- Root Explorer(Buy it too and this is optional if you dont know adb)

Got 2 steps on how to do this;
1) ADB
2) Root Explorer
3) My own steps(this is what i did to get it working!!)
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
5) Paypal buyer~~
6) Easier method - simple script
7) What if FC after applied the mod? Link to original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8928204&postcount=51
BEFORE THAT, NANDROID first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) ADB(google would help a lot)
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. You will need Android SDK installed (google for it will ya?).
b. "adb pull" your widgetlocker(anyone who did this can tell me please?)
c. Open your "pulled" apk using winrar.
d. Browse to /res/drawable-hdpi
e. Drop those 2 images you downloaded in there(make sure it is the exact name as the original so it will overwrite it.
f. Now for adb push part(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
g. Tada! Enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Root Explorer
*Btw make sure you have your widgetlocker completely removed/uninstalled before doing this.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
d. Put it back into system/app(you need to be in R/W mode)
e. After that, long click the app, select permissions, and do checkmarks like this: (the * represents a checkmark) - this is courtesy of frostman89
* . * . -
* . - . -
* . - . -
f. Reboot and voila!
==========================================================
3. My own steps!
Actually my steps is mixed between those 2 because, I can't pull using adb so i had to pull using Root Explorer. Then I cant push it using Root Explorer so i had to adb push them.
So there you go, if you have problems like me, just did what i did.
a. Browse the app in data/app, it is called com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
b. Copy it to your SD card.
c. Modify it(see step d and e above)
f. adb push(make sure you in the recovery mode and make sure the widgetlocker.apk is put inside android-sdk-windows/tools folder - the default folder for adb);
Code:
adb remount
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /system/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
adb reboot
I'll tell you guys too why i cant use adb pull and push using root explorer;
adb pull - easy, i dont know how to adb at that time...haha~~
paste using root explorer - i pasted it but nothing appeared? i was like wtf and that leads me to learn how to adb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Ninjamorph(S-OFF required)
I'm not sure how but here is what faceqt told me;
Or, if you have S-OFF you can use Ninjamorph to replace the 2 .png's and reboot your phone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Paypal buyer~~
Quoted from jayhan73;
For people who have purchaed WidgetLocker off paypal, the steps to do this only involves replacing the png files (i.e. opening the apk file sent to your email and adding the png files into the required directory). After that, reinstall the widgetlocker. You may also choose to push the apk via adb. Either way, it works.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But i believe once you mod it you can't install it normally, so its either adb or root explorer.
6)Easier method - Smple script as posted by brady;
brady1uk said:
There is a much easier way to get this on your phone using the files from the OP without faffing around on adb, rom manager etc...
download APK manager from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
put the apk file in the "place-apk-here-for-modding"
run the script.bat and extract it, (basically unzips it) drop the new PNG files in /res/drawable-hdpi (replace already existing) then run zip.apk from script and (select option 2 Regular apk) then use option 4 sign apk.
look in the pace-apk-here-for-modding folder will be a new file called 'something'-signed.apk. (this is the new edited Widgetlocker
This file you can put on your SD card and Install and Uninstall like a normal apk using ASTRO etc. no need for ADB and root explorer.
Takes literally 5 minutes to do with NO RISK to your phone

7) What if FC after applying the mod? - link to original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8928204&postcount=51
Is WidgetLocker Force Closing after you've applied the mod?
Quoted from zHK3r
Then try these steps:
Requirements:
Android SDK
HTC Sync Drivers
WidgetLocker
Two PNGs
7zip/WinRAR
1) ADB pull /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Rename the .apk to .zip and open the folder - Drop the two PNGs in drawable-hdpi
3) Rename the .zip back to .apk
On your phone: Uninstall WidgetLocker and then re-install.
Start WidgetLocker, but once you've started it. Press home.
Don't apply any settings or continue the tutorial
4) ADB push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
On your phone: Start WidgetLocker > Menu > Settings > Look and Feel > Slider & Layout > iPhone
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb pull data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
adb push com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk /data/app/teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1-apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Btw if you have any problems pushing an apk, try this;
Quoted from Zaphyr;
Ok, so I figured out the problem.
/system wasn't mounted. Even in recovery when I tried to push it over, I needed to go in the Clockwork settings and choose mount system before I could push it.
But now it works perfectly! YAY!!

Click to collapse
*I'm pretty sure it'll work the same for other lockscreen you wanted as long as you have the needed files.
Feel free to comment and give feedbacks, and correct me if i got wrong in some part. Enjoy!

good what is the name of the clock?

Nice. glad you got it working. Enjoy!

What about apkmanager to extract the apk from your phone and unbundle it for editing. Its alot easier in my opinion, and it easily re compresses the file and can push it back to the phone for you.
Sorry I don't have a link, but just do a search.

It worked like a charm! Thanks, I LOVE IT!!

Thanks .. worked very nicely ...
Btw got any plans for new mods ??

Hehe i learned this mod from other guys but i'll post/update this thread when i have another mod.
I'm just sharing as i'm not a dev/designer(yet). Still a student studying software engineering.

methodes with adb doesn work for me =( and either do Root Explorer trick, nothing happend

adb remount first or not? and you need to be inside the recovery.

Can anyone mod the custom slider to make it fit better with this? thanks

Hi
I am having trouble when pushing the apk in adb
I already managed to pull the apk and edited the png files
after that i uninstalled the widgetlocker
the adb remount gives me error "remount failed: Invalid argument" if i run it from recovery mode.
so i run it when the phone on.
then i go to recovery mode and run the push command, which is successful.
then i reboot the phone, but nothing happened.
no widget locker installed.
any idea?
thanks

what an APK file contains. An APK is nothing but a ZIP file consisting of all the files required to run the app. It contains

## knowing about some general things ---
>>>> where to add kernel in ur rom ---- outside the system folder [where u will find some files like bmlunlock,installbusybox ,flash_image,etc....
kernel = boot.img
>>>>> goto -- META-INF/com/google/android/
and u will find a file named as "updater-script"
this is the main script for flashing rom....
our cwm approaches this file & perform tasks as directed in it.....
1. open it with notepad/notepad++...
2. now nothing is understandable by u.....
3. but remember one thing -- ui_print("");
this statement is used to print text on cwm log screen
[ like ui_print("simplicity rom"); ]
4. u can change it to ur rom name & even u can add some more statements like this to ur script to print something.....
>>>>> goto -- system/etc/
and u will see many folder & files......
1. init.d folder -- conatin all the scripts that will run during startup...
init.d folder may be not there but u can create to add scripts....
[for using these scripts, u need to add custom kernel instead of stock one]

## adding kernel to ur rom ---------
$$$$$ CUSTOM KERNEL $$$$$
most important thing for rom developer is that a custom kernel which support features...
rom functionality depends on kernel i.e boot.img & modules files present in system/lib/modules folder.....
whenever u add any custom kernel to ur rom then remember to downlaod & add modules from his thread to system/lib/modules folder......
this is the problem with most of the roms present here thats why some roms have problems like headphone not working........
gps not working.........
camera settings r small.....
etc.....
so try to remember this to add modules to ur rom along with kernel..........
u can add kernels from the following links----
Rafeal's latest kernel ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1818830
Hells Fusion latest kernel ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2022147
other kernel on general section --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2026654
$$$$$ Stock Kernel $$$$$

But never uploaded them as they were nothing compared to the ROMs available

So, before going to make a custom ROM, you should first odexed then deodexed the ROM before making a custom one? Sorry.. Can't barely understand the tutorial.. But thanks for it..

When I extract and modify the rom.zip, Should I sign the zip before flash it using CWM?

[TOOLS][script] ROM Tools v2 (Kernel Extractor)(BML15 IMG backup)

ROM Tools v2 ​
Version 2 BETA
v2b (Officially v2)
Linux Script
by iamareebjamal
Automated Android script for extracting boot.img and bml15 partition​
My PC has issues so I can't use it to build mods and scripts, also, I have a very slow internet connection. That's why I don't upload my ROMs. Provided, I build EACH and EVERY one of my mod on my mobile, including those long scripts with repeating commands and making it easy for other guys to use, I could've just created a script with two commands which rendered error if used incorrectly, but I make it noob proof in every way possible so that there are minimum errors from your side and if something gets wrong, you know what it is. Even uploading 5 mb of mod makes it very difficult as I have to reupload if it fails. Writing scripts on mobile is not easy, you'll know if you have done it, it takes hours. Also, these colorful and easy guides are also made on mobile by writing BB codes ONE BY ONE by hand.
I am telling you because a person day before yesterday posted my Amazing Sounds Mod in another forum without my permission. However, he has removed it now. My work is fully open sourced for you to learn and make your own mods. But taking part of my work and posting as yours is not appreciated.
The MOST you can give me is love, prayers and Thanks

Out of the time I was absent from XDA(13 hours ) , I was searching for a method of extracting the kernel from your ROM
Imagine, you want to extract boot.img from your ROM but don't know what to do, you don't have internet to download the stock or custom kernel or simply want to extract it?
I did not find anything except the solution of Android Kitchen but what if you want to do it on your android?
As a bi product of this search, I got a lot of knowledge about the partitions used by Android system and the blocks that define them.
I also got basic knowledge about Linux Scripting.
So, I created this script that backs up your boot.img and bml15.img partitions.​
​ boot.img - kernel of your device
bootextractorv2.sh - Backs up your kernel
bml15.img - IMEI partition
bml15extractorv2.sh - Backs up your IMEI partition
Note:- SGY Toolbox also backs up and restores bml15_EFS.img. And that also with a nice user interface, I just created this mod, because I wanted to but I recommend newbies to use SGY Toolbox for backing up IMEI
However, I found no tool able to backup the kernel, so it may be very useful for some members
ChangeLog
Code:
*More Interactive
*More Intelligent
*Added Option to create Odin Flashable Tar package for kernel
*More Convinient

Doesn't work for me, S5830i stock firmware. If I use script manager method, a lot of "not found" messages, and finally the boot folder is empty. I give script manager root permission. And if I use a terminal emulator, the same error messages, finally there is a 5MB boot.img file, but "untouchable". I can not copy in any other folder. If I connect to PC, boot.img is missing. Appears again in the mobile when I disconnet the USB. I can not change file permissions with root explorer....
Also when the script ask if I want to create a zip file for recovery, I select 1 and I get "bad integer, run again"
Thank you

You have busybox?
If no,
You can't run it

Yes, and the script founds it (it says). Finally I zipped boot.img with root explorer and that zip file could be copied to the PC. Guess the file is ok. Thanks.

Why you zipped it?

English is not my language. I explained that boot.img was untouchable. I tried to copy to computer and I always got writing errors. Rebooting wasn't useful. Permissions couldn't be changed with root explorer.. The file was there, but couldn't do anything with It. Tried to zip it and it worked, and I copied the zip to my computer..

Sure that there is problem in busybox applet sync
I don't know why script couldn't detect it

I don't know what the problem was. I installed, not without many problems, the last busybox available, and everything worked ok. Out of curiosity, I compared boot.img file extracted with "problems" and the boot.img extracted now cleanly, and are identical.

Yeah you just skip that one. It wont make a difference . This same thread is in gear 1 and gear 2. Thats why

sdb problems
whenever I try to do anything with sdb I get a target not found error. I have also done the sdb devices command and it does not list any devices, I have the gear 2 neo connected to my computer using the supplied cradle and a usb cable I can see my watch in the file system but sdb does not see my watch. I have activated debugging in settings on the watch and have rebooted the watch since turning it oon just in case that was the issue. I am not sure what else to try any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I suppose since you can add Android Wear to the Gear 2, no one is keeping up on this Mod.
I was able to get the icons from the S5 to my Gear as well as the 1hr camera widget, but cannot seem to install any of the APK.s or ringtones.
With Fleksy, I can install it though Gear, it installs on my watch and phone, but does not download a language...is this a glitch in the Mod?
If anyone can advise me, it would be much appreciated!

I was able to get thet icons from a S5 theme I wanted installed, but cannot get ringtones or apk's to install.
Also with Fleksy, I am able to get it installed on both my watch and phone....but it will not allow me to download a language
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.....I tried to post a copy of my sdb folder, but am not having much luck as you can see in my attachment

[MOD] NavBar Gone. ( Root ) February update

I get a lot of requests to remove the NavBar. I'm posting this mod at each phone's forum themes section. TWRP flashable zip. Restore zip will be created in a folder named ozop on your sdcard.
8.1 February update
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850494336
8.0 November update
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617946322
8.1 preview
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291689241
Installation instructions for those of you that have root, but do not have TWRP. Busybox must be installed first.
1. Download the enclosed vrthemeADBversion zip and readme.txt for copying and pasting purposes.
2. Unzip the vrthemeADBversion zip to your sdcard. Rename folder to vrtheme
3. Put the readme.txt on your PC where you use adb.
4. Download appropriate NavBar Gone zip. Unzip and copy the system folder that is inside the vrtheme folder to the root of your sdcard.
5. On the root folder of your phone, find the data folder and create a folder inside it named tmp
6. Copy the vrtheme folder you earlier extracted to your sdcard to newly created data/tmp folder (/data/tmp/vrtheme)
7. On PC, with your phone connected and in file transfer mode, open CMD prompt and type "adb devices" without quotes. If your serial number comes up you can proceed.
8. Copy and paste the command lines from the readme.txt (include quotes)
adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /system"
Hit enter
First time you will be promoted by SuperSU to give adb permission.
Copy and paste the second line in readme.txt
adb shell su -c sh /data/tmp/vrtheme/installtheme.sh
There is also a Mod installer zip. If on Windows operating system you can unzip it where adb is running and run the bat file instead of typing or copying and pasting the commands.
Wait until everything runs, after a pause of a few seconds your phone will reboot and your NavBar should be gone.

They are the same. Easier to add files from AFH to keep track of and because of the 20mb limit but this one was under 20mb and I was having trouble at the time with AFH. Names are different I believe but same thing.

I didn't had BusyBox installed, busybox always caused bootloops but ur mods.zip from other forum worked just fine. Navbar is gone. No bugs or nothing.
It worked for me without busybox...strange Anyway thanks bud!!

@Tulsadiver Good day, i am unable to make this mod work with Oreo 8.1 December security update. I haven't tried it with the latest security patch because i am waiting for the February update.
Anyway i tried both methods the TWRP and the CMD one. After looking at the code it seems there are two issues one there is a directory issue instead of sdcard/system it should be /system since from the CMD log its reports it can't locate it so i did the change and that worked at the first stage but when it came to theme the framework or apply the changes it seems it couldn't locate the needed files.
Anyway i ended in 2 boot-loops after trying the zip version and after i did the change to the directory.
By the way i am using Magisk for root, and i have installed busybox but the i had to change the directory to bin instead of xbin on Oreo.
Thanks.

First of all, this is for the November update. Secondly, if you read the instructions correctly, you were to copy the system folder to your sdcard, hence, /sdcard/system
I have an Aroma installer that has Navbar gone in it but it is for January update.

Actually based on the instruction you stated:
5. On the root folder of your phone, find the data folder and create a folder inside it named tmp
6. Copy the vrtheme folder you earlier extracted to your sdcard to newly created data/tmp folder (/data/tmp/vrtheme)
You see the "Data" folder location is in the root of the directory and not in sdcard bescuase sdcard doesn't have a data folder, i think in step 6 you meant your phone instead of sdcard.
Any way i will wait for the February update and if you need any files once the update is here let me know, thank you for the work.
P.S :I would love it if you could do a step by step tutorial on how to minimize the navigation bar height and width to 0 and all the needed changes.
Thanks for your time and work.

You forgot this line
4. Download appropriate NavBar Gone zip. Unzip and copy the system folder that is inside the vrtheme folder to the root of your sdcard.

I'm not saying those instructions aren't the most convoluted instructions ever written, LOL. I actually made a adb installer with a menu for all the mods I had at the time and all you had to do was run the installer bat file, pick what you wanted and reboot. Everything was done for you. 8.1 got a working TWRP so I only posted it where TWRP wasn't available yet.

I know, i tried the twrp method first but the device will always boot to the recovery that's why I tried the alternative method in hopes it will work.

This had been updated to February update.
