Since you most likely also have to change .9.png files that have additional scaling and text position infos compiled into the code (don't know exactly how) you would have to recompile and compile the apks otherwise those infos get lost and you have uggly looking buttons and object borders.

You can check the guide on how to port themes for additional infos on that matter, also there is a full theming guide somewhere, i will fetch the link and post it here later.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Thanks alot for making me understand better and for the link :)

I appreciate it :)

edit: Jus got 1 more doubt..

If only we are making the theme ourselves, we're supposed take care of the .9.png right?

But if we are porting a theme, we just have to just re-size it an place it in the Res folder.

Cos tht .9.png would already be edited in the framework-res.apk which we are planning on porting into our device.

Sorry posted my query without even going through the link u gave. But... This struck my mind as soon as i read u're post.

Will go through the link now.

Thanx alot once again :)

Hey.. Am done with de-oxing.

Used QTADB to delete all applications from \system\app.

But am not able to transfer the de-oxed apps into \system\app

QTADB gets hung in the begging of the transfer itself.

o_O What do i do? There's no applications in my device now.. at all ..

Its jus the wallpaper :confused:

Can u pls give me the adb command to copy it from \sdcard\apps to \system\apps

The commands in the video tutorial is not clear. Tried focusing alot to read the commands but wasn't able to.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
I've edited my previous post. Pls chck it
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Bubble-be:
So your programs have made it over to your sdcard ?

Allright

adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/stl6 /system

adb shell cp /sdcard/apps/ /system/apps/
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
I am not sure where those additional infos are stored in the compiled apk, since it is visible in decompiled (one pixel width borders) but as soon as you compile it is not there anymore. If you port a theme and resize those .9.png files you loose that info because you reduce a 1 pixel width, so u actually have to redo that borders.

Hope this clears it up...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Hmmm... I get it...

Tht's it for now ;)

Thanx once again :)

Tried a reboot after deleting all stock apps using QTADB and got my phone bricked.

Had to reflash and re-root my device

But now am not able to get the system into read\write mode.

When i tried to remove all the odex files using adb, it says rm failed for *.odex, Read only file system.

Pls Chck the attachment.

I've already mounted the system in Read/Write mode
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] fisiu82:
Maybe all *.odex files have no write permission (needed to remove as well). Try in phone shell:

chmod +w /system/app/*.odex

else maybe its got to do something with the rw mound code you used before..

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Now i see the message "BAD mode". Tht's in ADB...

Terminal emulator, not able to obtain root access.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:
Tried the one u gave. System is mounted i think. But still rm an chmod won't work.

I guess the problem is with the firmware. It is not recognizing the su thingy..

Tried a couple of more applications which requires root access... Like root un-installer, SGS tools but none of em pop up with the su (allow/block) message.

Tried un-installing the system apps but tht too won't get deleted.

Am not even able to open the root explorer. It says root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.

I used Super One click 1.7 to root my device.

Am using DDJP2 as the base ROM.

Can anyone here pls try rooting this ROM an lemme kno the results
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
Yes DDJP2 got problems with rooting,

try un root n re root?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] osbozzy:

dont work on samsung gt i5510...

will provide a means to work in this???

sorry my english!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
the video only works on pc...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nikosddesign:
Sorry, but there was understood to tell below.

Might and able to cook for gt i5510

Simple Steps:-

* Flash the rom you want as base(Stock JPM,JPF etc..)

* Deodex the rom(optional)

* Root your phone

* Apply live wallpaper Mod(optional)

* Remove un nessasory apps(optional)

* Add custom theme(replace the framework n tw framework)

* When done Type this command in adb

Code:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs

And wait for 10 min(max)

**MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SD CARD INSIDE BEFORE TYPING THE COMMAND ABOVE**

* Then go to sd card and there must be a new file called factoryfs.rfs

* Now copy the factoryfs.rfs file from sd to PC.

* Now open the .tar file of the base rom which you flashed before,using Total Commander.

* Replace the factoryfs.rfs from the base to the one which you just made in sd.

* Then close Total Commander and flash your custom made rom using odin.

If any failure then start form step 1 again! And this time stick to the procedure.

sorry my english!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nikosddesign:
this is the file that caused the phone when it ends

Using total commander replace the file in the stock rom and flash n see if it works
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] nikosddesign:
don t work factoryfs.rfs is 1,5mb only..

while the i5510 is named as system.rfs

if you can do it looked at the picture and it will better understand...

sorry my english!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
This is getting off topic, but I'll try helping you on this via PM. pm me the download link for the factory.rfs you made with the system.rfs from the original rom..

copied the % pngs, and the two xml files (stat_sys_battery.xml,stat_sys_battery_charge.xml), but after applied the theme, many force close (soft brick), and in the batt stat, there were no icons.

when i copying these files to framework-res, must it signed, or just copy?

I dont think the problem is with the kernel.. :D

I think the problem is that, the files stat_sys_battery.xml,stat_sys_battery_charge.xml are pointing to the some different folder...for eg.. some themes have ldpi, some have ldpi-v4 ,etc,etc...

so he has to check what is the folder name in that theme...and put the icons accordingly...its better to use the theme which has 1% battery mod as the base theme, and then edit accordingly....

if u want the stock theme with 1% battery mod, the here u go

You've to the files to work with JPS.

Doesn't custom rom such as G3 Mod come with most of the tweaks?

Alternatively you could PM the rom dev for necessary files so you can just copy n paste them.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] rudolf895:
Yes you can use Asain firmware to make a custom rom, the procedure is same.

Just remove the bootloaders from the new stock rom which your going to flash, this will make it safe to flash.

But most importantly you must have a back-up of your IMEI, just in case.

I suspect you've been ripped off AND that Amazon should be notified if this is not a genuine Motorola part, because the title indicates it is made by Motorola, not just made "for" Motorola phones by someone else.

Moto never made that junk, AFAIK.

Now for about $120 you can get a Wilson amplified holder, which contains an active bi-directional booster, an antenna cable, and an exterior antenna for car or other use. Short of that?

No, the phone would need a better antenna, and Moto's engineers would gladly build it with one--but the mass market doesn't like antennas, they like "small".
