Standalone Stericson Lockscreen

Can anybody point me in the right direction so I can port Stericson's lockscreen over to a Roger's rom?. I imagine there are other people that switch themes often and would just want the lockscreen without having to flash an entire theme so even if this is something that is exclusive to Cyanogens roms is it possible to just port the lockscreen?

yes can someone explain the process for porting stericsons lockscreen over to a rom/theme what all needs to be included?

It has hooks in the .jar files. So until Stericson provides info on which smali files are needed.it cannot be ported

you also have to use jdwme's services.jar also until one is released the regular services.jar from cyanogens rom will not work i think stericson changed some stuff in it to allow the lockscreen

Will the smali files have the same names?

More or less.... Might be a little different...
Any questions just ask me about them....

uhhhhhh....that and that github site are like reading a different language to me. I just want to get the lockscreen from xtheme onto my phone. Not sure where to locate those files on github. Im usually not this dense as ive ported the majority of ted's hero theme to my rogers rom. maybe someone would be so kind as to post links to the files or make a update.zip for it?

do u know what files specifically in the drawables folder? if its just the files starting w/ZZ i did that but it hangs on the g1 screen when i try to boot it up. I think its because i am unable to edit the policy.jar myself as i am on a mac so i just took the jar file from the cyan build and placed it on the rogers 1. I also did the same with "resources.asrc". Im fairly certain if i can edit the files for the respective builds it will work.

Is it really that hard to extract a theme from a Rom?

Hi!
I have been trying to extract the theme from this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869408
It looks awesome and I want to add some animations from a different ROM and use it with Darkys or Assonance for example but this seems to be much harder than I though unless someone has a quick and easy for dummies procedure for poor me that is.

It should be as easy as extracting the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, mms.apk, bootanimation.zip and fonts as that is what is listed as being themed in the ROM thread. Then use the theme porter posted in the Android Themes section of XDA to inject them in your apk's, then manually change whatever didn't copy over.

mmm sounds simple when you say it lol I will need to dig deep here it seems but that is a good post to point me towards the right path

I usually just extract the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the ROM I am taking the theme from and the ROM I want to put it in, then I copy the res/drawable-hdpi folder from the old apk into the new one. It is a quick/dirty method, and wont let you change font colors or add a circle battery mod to one without it, but I have never had problems with it before.

You also have to be sure it is compatible with the rom you are using. Some roms have different xml code behind and if you simply put the framework and tw framework in your rom you risk getting fc at boot and not getting past them.

Both are JPY Roms so I hope that is enough. I guess worst thing that could happen is having to flash again

Try first with /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
I'm attaching a cwm zip file that has those files as found in Doc's 6.1 rom.
Just replace them with the files from whatever rom you want and keep that as a backup in case something goes wrong. It will save you from reflashing

If both are JPY roms then it shouldn't be an issue.

I tried doing what Ryukeima mentioned but I ended up with a Frankenstein of a theme as not all things from the them I wanted came over to the new one!
This is going to require some practice. That ROM has also some very nice Icons for Launcher Pro so is going to be another thing to look for..in fact I think I could be happy just getting those Icons.

Rip all the framework folder. Make a CWM zip and flash it over your ROM. It should work without problems. Then try to either apply animations on UOT kitchen or inject them with metamorph.

Sorry for my noobness...Just trying to learn this stuff
So if i rip out all framework folders from one rom and manually replace them in another rom (like i did for kernel..replacing zimage file)...will it work?
Also, can anyone tell me how to make a CWM zip...i know there is a post for that on XDA but i am not able to find it...

To answer the first question, it won't straight out work. You have to add the images to the file 'framework-res.apk' in the 'drawable-hdpi' folder located within it. Different framework-res.apk's will differ from ROM to ROM, and will just FC or bootloop your phone if you use one that it doesn't like. That's why most themes have the ROM they will work with posted in the title. If it is the same base ROM (in the case of my phone, running Assonance, any JK3 theme will work), then it is as simple as drag & drop. But if it's between say Axura and Assonance, it would have to be manually changed as stated above, since there may be subtle differences in the framework.
As for the second question, here ya go

If the theme was made for JPY and the Rom you want to put it on is JPY, it should work. However, there are sometimes system apps which need to be installed with the theme. Easyest thing would be to rip it off, put it on your rom and see if it works. Experiment a bit, thats how you'll learn.

thanks and thanks.
Its really interesting to have a full control of your phone....so i am enjoying learning this stuff....tried using UOT kitchen but got errors...
I just want to modify notification bar...

There's plenty of jpy based themes in the i9000>theme section.

You could metamorph it if it doesn't require any xml edits... it looks like Marilyn img edits which could be taken foment that rom..

i have a question along these same lines. if one wanted to copy the notification pulldown from a different ROM|theme, how would you do so? im using Perception 9.5 which is built on JK3, but the Androdena theme is built on JPX files. all i want is the notification pulldown elements. can you just copy those image files over and go? i always see themers talking about 9.pngs and i was just wondering if they'd prohibit just a simple copy from one tw-framework to another.

Adding CRT Lockscreen Animations to GB ROM

I'm currently trying to compile a new ROM based on the WWE GB release.
Can anyone tell me how to add the CRT animations?

Haha, I have been trying to do that myself since this morning, but failed miserably (but I am a rookie, this explains that).
What I read is that the animations are in system/framework/framework-res.apk, which is a renamed zip anyway.
So what I understood is: unzip this file, replace anim/lock_screen_enter.xml and/or anim/lock_screen_behind_enter.xml with the proper ones, rezip the newly framework-res.zip, rename to .apk, and supposedly build the ROM with this.
But I tried with l0st.prophet's files from LPRemixHD, and it did not work here :'(
I am sure there is something I missed.

Haven't played with ROMs since the Hero, and even that was mild fiddling - This will be my first proper ROM.

Could you attach those files for me, to save me downloading the whole ROM - I'm on fairly limited bandwidth.
Trouble is, I won't really be able to test this until my XTC Clip arrives - I'm just getting prepared!

You cant just replace xml files, the apk has to be decompiled, xmls modified and then the apk recompiled or else you will get a boot loop.

There's quite a few changes to services.jar, framework-res.apk and HTC-resources.apk. I can't remember off the top of my head but I suggest you take the files from my Rom, take stock files and compare.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a look over.

yes but most if not all of them are device AND ROM specific no? with countless devices, and infinite custom ROMs for each of those devices pushing through adb may be time better spent then sifting through a plethora of posts hoping to find a .zip that matches your device and ROM.
especially considering theres a detailed tutorial in the thread i linked to. but if there is a .zip that will just work via cwm or edify please link me.

[Q] Battery % Icon in UI?

Is anyone aware of a System UI mod to add battery percentage to the indicator for the First, without the need to install a secondary app?

A quick update:
Found the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store which does a very good job. Along with a large selection of some easy to use pull-down switches in the Notification Bar is a battery icon showing %. Actually very nice.
However, not being exactly what I was looking for I tried to use the OG Battery Icon Mod from XDA with my (mostly) stock (Odexed) ROM. It was unsuccessful.
Thinking it might be a problem with the Odexed ROM, I flashed CWM Recovery to replace my previous TWRP Recovery (for some reason the DeOdexed ROM des not flash with TWRP) and then flashed JMZ's DeOdexed v1.08 ROM. Unfortunately, I ended up the same failure when running the OGBattery Mod Tool (the tool was unable to download the systemui.apk).
Therefore, so far I am unable to make the UI modification, but am pleased to find the Notification Toggle App -- and with some help from Titanium Backup my phone is back where I wanted it, now running a DeOdexed ROM. I went back to TWRP Recovery. I have CWM on my A500 tablet, but TWRP just seems easier on the First.

You can use UOT kitchen. Just Google it. If you feel adventurous you can download my sense ROM and pull the diff battery mods I have there and push them to your device. All you need is systemui.apk. but this will only work if you are on a deodex ro.

Feeling adventurous, I downloaded your sense ROM & extracted it. In systemui.apk I see there are two (apparently duplicated) res folders and the sub-folders/files in res are also duplicated. Is this an error in the build or necessary as place-holders of sone kind. I thought I might try to replace the res folder in the deodexed ROM with this one, but it concerned me.

@jmk : After the confusion (to me) I tried a couple of more things:
1. Replaced systemui.apk in stock ROM with the systemui.apk from your Sense ROM. That did give me a Sense horizontal battery with %, but was too small to see. I was hoping for the percent circle.
2. I used UOT Kitchen to attempt to make the modifcation, but Kitchen returned a SHTF error, so no results yet.

Success!
I loaded & set up JMZ's Sense ROM with the icons I wanted, then copied systemUI.apk to the sdcard. After restoring my "stock" ROM I renamed the systemUI.apk in /system, then copied the one from the sdcard to /system & reset the permissions. I now have my desired battery icons!
@ jMZ: Thank you for the guidance. --Larry
