I'll try... I can't give all of the tweaks on XWKE7 unfortunately (or indeed any stock ROM) due to signature issues, but I'll see what I can do :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaolin79:
@ Pulser

Thread off,

I was looking your official Villain site and specially roms availables on different systems ... but I cannot see GingerVillain for HTC desire (no sense) ?! No relationship with your team (RichardTrip) or it is a port of Desire Z to Desire ??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaolin79:
Why do you use signature compare to other roms ?

Do you have better perfs and stability with it ? If yes, could you explain why ??

Tks !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I use a different signature, as Android verifies signatures on APKs when allowing them to have permissions. Some applications are signed with the system keys.

If I want to modify one, for VRTweaks, I am replacing the old APK, so the signature must match, else the app will be refused and not show up...

If I don't touch the apps, then I am highly restricted in abilities to change some things. For example, the Mms.apk tweak to allow more recipients and more compound SMS messages before converting to Mms, wouldn't work without ability to custom sign.

It doesn't affect performance and stability, but it's something I always do myself, and why should you guys get anything less than that? I'm a firm believer there's no point in releasing a ROM you don't use yourself, and nor should I put out things I've not tested
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Richard makes GingerVillain as part of VR, but he's not got time available to post it over there. So we just use his XDA thread :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
looking forward to 1.3.1 to fix download verification fail :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] omnia_owner:
same thing here

great work dude
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
building 1.3.1 apk :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ragiut1:
Thnx for adding Madmack's Arabic

Really appreciate it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
Thank you for staying committed :) Good work, that is why i donated and encourage everyone else even if it is a little. A way to say thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Villain Tweaks 1.3.1 is now up. This should let you flash the Arabic mod, and Rawat's green when connected status bar tweak.

It also lets you flash the stock Android Email app. Calendar still a work in progress while I fix this UI glitch.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
hmm after applying arabic 1/4 device freezes. Had to pull the battery. Now it won't boot up. Had to reflash and restore backup.

I think it needs some testing.

ps: tried 3 times. Same result.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
You should install all 4 before rebooting. I will add a note.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
I thought so too. But the issue is that it completely freezes after attempting to install the first one. I do not even get to the part when it prompts me to reboot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Oh? That's very strange...

I have adjusted the tweak order. See if that helps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
Same thing: Downloading and Verifying > Villan Tweaksgranted Super User > Freeze :) i did not redownload and install 1.3.1 btw.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm... Little confused. Are you using tweaks 1.3.1 or not? It needs to use 1.3.1 to work I'm afraid.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
i know i confused you. sorry. I am using 1.3.1 tweak. Still freezing. Are we supposed to click on "Remount System R/W first?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nah... Can you get a logcat of the issue?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
Well i tried it again:

Now the notes "do not reboot" also shows.

Steps 1-3 went fine. Step 4 frooze and it rebooted by itself. Now it shows in the tweaks as installed. Arabic websites letters still not connected. Like the patch was not applied. In gmail arabic titles are showing fine but not the email it self (letters not connected). In applications like whats app arabic is working fine.

Conclusion: last patch did not do its job when it froze, cannot reapply due the the way villan tweak work. Anyway to reset the last patch so i can reapply?

ps: i reflashed. I noticed after reinstalling 1.3.1 the note to "reboot only after step 4" didn't show. Inconsistent for now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No, it applied ok

Let me explain. The original tweak doesn't work in gmail or browser. Should be fine elsewhere

But... Tomorrow, an optional, but highly experimental tweak will go up, to let you get browser and gmail working.

It's not stable iirc, according to madmack, due to samsung being awkward...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
thanks buddy, you are the man :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yamanote:
Hey there,

[Rawat's Green (on connection) status bar theme] is showing up as 224MB (megabytes) on my phone.

Looking though Rawat's thread it looks like it should be 224kb lol.

Just my phone or is it like this on others?

Also, if I understand it correctly, the green-on-connection theme is the one with the stock gb signal bars/WiFi icon & CRT anim., so it replaces SystemUI.apk? Does this mean I can't use this in conjunction with the [Prevent notification and vibration when fully charged] fix?

I'm using 1.3.1 on VR1.1.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dolphin87:
by the way the arabic from your latest Tweak 1.3.1 is not working ,

I just tried it 2 times ...

plz fix it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That particular theme from rawat already has notification removed.

Size is just a typo :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
what's not working about it? See last page regarding it, as another user has it working fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dolphin87:
i m having the same exact problem
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. After a reboot, arabic should be working in apps other than gmail and browser :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Alcroth:
and what about the benchmark? anyone can tell me the results? it's better than the stock rom? Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] yamanote:
Thanks, just installed it over the SystemUI.apk for deodexed roms directly from rawat's thread I manually pushed yesterday. Looks exactly the same.

For anyone wondering yes the CRT animation is there.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaolin79:
Hi Pulser,

Could you add this (overscroll glow) to VillainTeaks ?

I think people will apreciate :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14269903&postcount=32

Thanks by advance,

EDIT : just tested with villain rom and it works great. The color is blue for people who want to know ...not so beautiful as I see with oxygen rom for exemple but it's a great feature.

I get force close in google talk when i try to make a video call. wi-fi and 3g.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sure. I'll figure it out :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dolphin87:
I disabled the home home button from waking ? up the phone . how can i enable it again :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaolin79:
On your SDcard, you can find a directory for VillainTweaks where backup are stored.

Just copy back the backup file (should be framework, didn't find others files related to home button) to system/framework.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Nah, home button is just the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_key.kl

You could just add "WAKE" to the home key line as well.

Oups ! so easy ...learnt one more thing today :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
hello!

I've installed VRTweaks 1.3.1 on my rooted sgs2 KE2.

When I click on a fix id does nothing.

Looking at logcat it says "VRTweaks does not work on XWKE7 please install villainrom...."
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmm... That message appears in all versions, but it's only processed on XWKE7, as there's a lot more fixes available on VR1.1, than there are on XWKE7.

Can you get me the full logcat the app outputs? How many tweaks show?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Never mind. Refresh the app - I've fixed it :) Will fix the other ROMs later :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
Thanks very much but... it doesn't show any tweaks now :-/

EDIT: I get the same error and an empty list of tweaks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] imranz:
Hi all,

First of all, thank you very much Pulsar for this great tweak. But I face a problem regarding wifi connection. I do not know whether this issue related to Villain Rom or not but I cannot browse the internet if using wifi connection. It took forever for my browser to display any webpage. I do not have any problem when using Mobile Network connection.

Anyone facing the same problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] doorss:
I'm getting this FC as well. All the other tweaks are fine and awesome.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
Not showing any tweaks here either. On villain 1.1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bu2askoor:
no issues here. Wifi working fine on this room.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blasterbates180:
No tweaks in list here too
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Oops. I'll see what went wrong... That's a server side issue :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK the tweaks should be showing again. You will need to refresh the app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elban:
I just run it without refreshing the app, and it worked :)

just a strange quick reboot...

EDIT: too early, gtalk force closes when making a video call...

actually I don't see the "libtalk_jni.so" which should be in "/system/lib/", maybe it couldn't write it?

EDIT: "adb push libtalk_jni.so /system/lib/" fixed the force close!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmmmm... Where was said lib? I guess I didn't know about that when I made the tweak.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] blasterbates180:

You can do it manually with backup file in VillainTweaks directory on sdcard.

- open rootexplorer

- copy back wanted file to /system/app or /system/framework depends of the file

After installing the tweak, you should have video talk installer in the APP drawer. I needed to click on it and reboot again to get it working ... maybe you can try

This Overscroll glow Mod isn't done properly, that's why it's blue and has this banding. Here's a properly working (yellow as in stock AOSP) Overscroll glow:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7662072/framework.jar

To change the color of the Overscroll Mod you would need to edit the overscroll_edge.png and overscroll_glow.png in framework-res.apk
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Never seen nor heard of XXKE2 :(

The ROM supported are:

XWKDD

XWKE2

VR1.0

VR1.1

XWKE7 temporarily not supported as I was having issues with fixes not applying :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks. I'll replace it with this one :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaolin79:
agree but it's the only you can find ...

EDIT : didn't see the post just before ... great !
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaolin79:
Thanks for update and infos ... ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
And if you look in VRTweaks, the Overscroll will now show as not installed :) The "proper" version should now be up there :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cTrox:
Wow you are fast :D

Thanks!

Yeah, that's exactly why I made this ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaolin79:
:D just did it manually

But I checked in VRTweaks and yes can see it and ... quote as installed even if I have done manually ;) good appz !

EDIT : Did you see my post for Gingerbread% +CRT in VR thread ? the green on connection doesn't have gingerbread battery but circle battery right ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cTrox:
Some confusion here ;)

The fixed Overscroll is NOT blue. It is yellow as stock AOSP.

To make it blue you would have to replace those two files: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7662072/overscroll_glow.zip

to framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/

(took those png's from cyanbread on cyanogenmod)

But the problem is that like that it would cause some conflicts with other framework-res-mods.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nolegjoe:
I'm finding the daily updates/tweaks for this mod to be completely fantastic. Keep up the good work!

One suggestion though, any chance villianTweaks could offer an uninstall option for the tweaks that automatically restores backups? I keep seeing people say "just restore the backups from the SD card" but, unfortunately, I don't know how.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] g2tl:
My kernel reads xwke2, but the build number is gingerbread.xxke2

I got it from expansys, and everything was in Polish. Could that be the reason?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nolegjoe:
I dunno... If he's already making backups of what was already there, wouldn't it just be a case of doing exactly what is already being done but pointing to the backups instead of downloading a new selection of files???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes... Unfortunately I don't have time to make the files for every regional variation...

Perhaps you could flash a UK "standard" ROM, then put in your CSC, or flash VR1.1?

To get the most tweaks, you need VR1.1 just now anyway, as I've not got time to replicate them all :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, I will add it some time, but it will take a while to add...

Perhaps a picture, but that would require me to get one... And that just makes each update take longer, so you get less tweaks...

I will ultimately try to get a tabbed UI sorted, for updates, themes, tweaks, and "misc"...

But this is gonna be time consuming... I'm dreading to even consider what I'm going to do when new ROM versions come out, as I can't possibly keep this going for each and every ROM version...

I reckon I'll not be able to do the tweaks for every stock ROM... I think it will end up being VR only though, as it makes one ROM to do, which sticks on a stable base.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
The backups are there. But this would involve adding some kind of additional UI, to let you restore it...

Before then, I need to get a versioning system for the backups though, as installing two updates to a file would overwrite the old backup for good... So I'll need to get some kind of date and time stamp in the file, and get the user to select the date and time to restore to...

This is gonna take a while, as I'm still looking for 48 hour days to to everything else, let alone this :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] swatsbiz:
After installing the "prevent notification and vibration when fully charged" and rebooting, my widgets needed to be redone, that didn't happen before.

Also there seems to be a conflict between the "green status connection theme" and "Blue overscroll efect" and and the "fully charged notification" tweak, they seem to undo each other

Hi pulser

Any plan on adding AppWidgetPicker as a tweak?

I know it won't work on TW but many users are already using other launchers and anyway it doesn't harm TouchWiz functionality so you could even implement by default in your next release.

As you can see from screenshot grouped widgets in menu gives a better readability.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Cuspide:
It says "download verification failed". I'm on ke7 and vr1.1 ...

Someone knows why ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Which download?

Otherwise I can't really check :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Perhaps as a tweak, but not in the ROM itself. Unless it were a non-TW ROM of course... ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nightranger73:
AFAIK TouchWiz keeps working good but without using it... I can't check now as I've uninstalled TW and pushed zeam instead (I'm on vr1 cause I like pushing stuff in system) but I'm pretty sure it worked this way

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ah OK. You know you can do it just the same on VR1.1? The difference here is that rather than being signed with Samsung keys nobody has, it's signed with keys we actually have access to... But theming and modding should work just fine, if you just work normally on the files

Hello.

I have searched the forum but didnt find anything that was relevant, so here I am. I have Lite'ning Rom and have flashed CFRoot kernel on top. (But did that through CWM App), so the triangle is no longer present.
