ugh...not quite sure then man. You can run a deodexed SystemUI with the rest of the rom being odexed.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Which rom are these from? I'm getting a 'cannot resolve method' error using the classpath files that I have here when I try to deodex.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] forkie44:
Oh !

When i upgrade to KG2. I need to find a way to port over and replace the default systemui.apk and odex.

So i used Jay's KG2 mod zip file and replace the png files inside.

Coz i cant figure out the adb shell method :p

Used andriod commander but tried alot commands on console dont work.

cd C:\user\download

roosh

su bla bla
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Got a link to "Jay's KG2 mod zip file" ??

I need to track down where the SystemUI.odex file you gave me originated from.

Twlauncher, i have tryed Go launcher EX and launcher pro...there is no way...

Thank you, I will try in KG3....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I seem to remember chatting with someone recently that said they couldn't get it to work with Twlauncher. I know LauncherPro is also incompatible, but have no information on Go Launcher.

If you're still interested, please try ADW Launcher. I know for sure that ADW is compatible with it (have to disable wallpaper hack in settings), and of course it works with Launcher2 that's part of aosp.

Edit: Just discovered Zeam Launcher, too. Just recently discovered this launcher, btw and really like it. Recommended, particularly if you like a more simple yet highly nimble and smooth launcher.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
Pendo, it' s me again:) Can you change me the framework (only the % batt what I need) to kg6 please?!

Here is the framework-res.apk: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5525279/framework-res.apk

I tried what you did last time, but force close . . .

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hrti:

KG6 framework with battery % only would be great :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sure thing. Sorry for the late reply to your request. :o

The first attachment is with my custom gingerbread style battery with % like you asked. Just for kicks, I built a second one with one of the circle varieties I've made but haven't posted in a while. I made up a miniature contact sheet so you can see the images and charging animation. Anyone who uses it...just remember to rename the file to just framework-res.apk;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ql4y3r:
You' re the best;) It' s great. Thx.

Is this batery mod compatiblle with Villainrom 2.4.2?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sorry, I somehow managed to completely miss these posts :o

However I still cannot seem to deodex the SystemUI.odex that you linked to. I tried using the bootclasspath files from both KG1 and KG2 (both of which I got from Intratech's thread) but I always get an exception when it tries to resolve onDetachedFromWindow method in CallOnGoingView.smali. When I try to deodex the SystemUI that's in the firmware it works just fine.

So, I must not have the correct firmware that I need to deodex that SystemUI.odex. Could you provide me with a link to the exact firmware package you're running?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Not likely as it is. If I recall, he resigns most all of his apk's. This generally facilitates further theming (I like to do it too with my roms and some gapps apk's), but in that modded frame-res, I reused the signatures so there'd be a mismatch.

One thing you can try though (assuming it's a kg6 based firmware) is to copy the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folders from his framework-res.apk into mine. No guarantees, but if it indeed is based on kg6, there's a good likelyhood that it would work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:
special request Mr Pendo !!!

Hi mate,

when you have time, can you edit this systemUI to became transparent ?

(is from XXKG5 stock rom)

tks so much ...

:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] the guitarist:
Would You Please Make a Version for the stock battery with percentage that works with villainrom 2.4.2 .. I've been looking everywhere and the villain tweak app only has a circular mod that changes all icons n the notification bar ..

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
If you could point me to the specific rom this is that would help. I haven't been able to keep up with all the releases and I wan to to make sure I get the right odex file, as well as the classpath files to deodex.

Just added the battery only to the base rom's framework-res.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I was actually also asking for a link to the whole rom so I could be sure to get the correct framework files. But there was only 1 KG5 firmware that was listed as 2.3.4 in intratech's thread, so I just used it. Hopefully it works ok.

Remember, you need to remove SystemUI.odex since the dex file is now in the apk.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonata:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Try flashing this in recovery. I'm not 100% sure that my mount system command will work with your rom, but I think it will. If it doesn't, no harm is done as since it won't be able to write to your system directory.

how to tweak

Sorry for this question, it may sound silly but I really wanna know.

How Do I place the files? do I need a file manager???
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
First off, you will want to have a file manager anyway, whether you use it for this purpose or not. But yes, that is one way. You have to make sure that it has root capabilities though. So Astro won't work for this.

Another way would be to use adb. But probably the most common way would be to flash a zip in recovery. Back when this thread started there wasn't a custom recovery image available and I guess I kinda just got used to posting the apk's alone.

The attached file a couple posts ago is in a zip file that you flash in recovery.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Your link for SystemUI.apk is bad. And do you have a link to the rom/firmware? Framework-res is not the framework files that I need to deodex. Baksmali needs all the bootclasspath files from the various the jar files in /framework (core.jar, framework.jar, bouncycastle.jar, etc.)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
sorry i would fix the link but that wouldnt help.. the firmware is just stock from samsungfirmware.com... but that would give you in .img format after you untar it.. i assume you need it in some other format?

also i fixed the link and added a link to a zip of the entire framework direcdtory.. hopefully that is all you need thanks again.

check the old post i have updated it..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I'm familiar with the img conversion process, as I've had to do it for several firmwares now but I definitely do appreciate having it all ready to go thanks :)

Remember that this file is now deodexed so you need to remove SystemUI.odex from your rom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
thanks renamed the systemui.odex and the file works.. after rebooting but status bar is still black no matter what background/wallpaper or live wallpaper i am using.

i remember reading something do i need to use a different launcher does this no longer work with touchwiz.. wheras it did in the older versions

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hmm...I'm not sure this matters in this case but try to clear dalvik. Also just for arguments sake go ahead and remove the odex file. (Still keep a backup, just not in /system/app.

It is true that this hack doesn't work with some launchers, but it has been working with tw. I'll take another look through my edits, and you try what I mentioned. Let me know if it straightens out.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RobinRichard:
KE8 please?

I have rooted Galaxy S2 running XWKE8 firmware. But you have only KE7 option. And am afraid to replace my framework-res.apk file with the file from a different firmware. Is it safe? Or shall I give you my file and can you mod it for me? I don't wanna mess up my phone, and at the same time, I've fallen in love with the beautiful circular battery!!! :o
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
Strange... cleared cache and removed file... it works inside apps is that it is transparent but with live wallpapers for instance it OS transparent while choosing them but as soon as you select or activate one the status bar goes back to black... same with pictures. it must be something with touchwiz bummer
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
According to post #72 The SystemUI.apk was compatible, so it might actually work with framework-res, too. Impossible to say without trying, and no it won't harm your phone. BUT, if it isn't compatible it will either not boot, or be stuck in a boot loop. So you'd want to be sure to have your original file ready to go back in just in case.

If it were me, given the fact that SystemUI from KE7 was reported to work on KE8 I would try it. It only takes a minute or so to test it. If it doesn't work, then I would need your framework-res.apk (I don't have that firmware here locally)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
For some reason I was thinking that it did work on TW, but now I'm not so sure.....memory is bad, lol. But I know for a fact it works fine using ADW Launcher (with the wallpaper hack disabled in options), stock android Launcher2, as well as Zeam Launcher (what I'm using personally)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RobinRichard:
I tried it and it works! I just replaced the file, rebooted and bingo, I have the modded battery! Thanks! :cool:

One last doubt, will this battery mod affect my battery life (coz that I've replaced the optimized system file of KE8 with the framework file you gave which is from KE7)? Battery life is very important for me (that's y I wanted this circular battery in the first place). It will be nice if you can clear this doubt.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
thanks tried zeam launcher now.. works ok on that but the scrolling between screens is too laggy for my taste.. will have to try something else.

settled on launcher pro .. working fine.. already bought it for my tablet.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
I've never noticed any decrease, nor has anyone else in my older 100+ page thread, in battery life because of the circle battery. It may use just a tiny bit more power when showing the charging animation but at that point it's charging too. :)

As far as the differences between KE7 and KE8, I'm unsure....if I had to place a wager I'd probably say it's mostly string changes (language stuff), but without a detailed diff (or an official change log) then it would be hard to say. I will tell you that framework-res is pretty damn picky in my experience. It doesn't take much of anything to be out of order and the system just wouldn't boot.

:eek::eek::confused::confused: Really??!?!? I've NEVER had anything but the smoothest, buttery action with Zeam. It is as smooth and quick as Launcher2 (aosp). This is actually the first I've read of anyone having an issue with it. Strange.

And I could've sworn that I'd read that LauncherPro was one of the ones that did NOT work with the regular transparent statusbar mod. Lol...

At any rate, I'm glad you got something that works and that you LIKE. I ran with LP for a long time last summer/fall while enomther was still building his rom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RobinRichard:
No battery drain, confirmed!

After 2 days of testing, I'm pretty sure that it DOES NOT affect the battery! Thanks for the mod, now my battery icon looks so cool!

Now all my android friends want the mod. One friend has a Galaxy S L i9003 and he wants your mod. How to help him?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
lmao...it is what got me started in modding actually. Soon as I saw it, I had to have it. At the time it hadn't made it to the N1 circles yet, so if I wanted it I had to learn.

While I prefer my mods (obviously) probably the quickest way to get one is through the UOT.

They have a neat system for sure and overall do a pretty good job, with pleasing results. I was unofficially involved early on in it's existence, mostly in a support/advice capacity, but some of my work is also offered. I recommend everyone visit the site at least once so they can see their service.

As far as I know, they still offer some of my older work (amongst MANY other's). I don't wish to elaborate in detail in public, but I'll just say that they have some differing opinions than I do with regard to the importance of crediting other's work when it's used, particularly in their system that doesn't have as much personal interaction between the dev's and users. As a consequence, I do not forward any of my theming work to them anymore and don't really follow the goings on as much as I used to.

If your friend is wanting the version you have (or something other than what UOT has) then just contact me via pm.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RobinRichard:
Great!

Oh! Thanks you very much! The kitchen's circular batteries also look cool thought it doesn't have your smooth version (the main thing I like in your battery is that the battery changes colour smoothly and also shows the percentage even during charging unlike other alternatives). Anyway, I'll tell my friend to use the kitchen, and if he specifically want the smooth version, I'd be happy if you can help me mod that for him! Thanks again! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Installed this on Cognition 1.5 (baseband I9100XXKH3) but no matter what launcher I use the taskbar insists on remaining black. Cleared Devlik too.

Any suggestions?

EDIT -- ignore, fixed it. Forgot that the original file couldn't simply be renamed for backup purposes, it needed to be moved too. Working fine now. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Damn, just realised the data toggle is lost on the notification pull down. Any chance this could be fixed?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks for the compliments. There's some additional info about my charging xml as well, but I find it in poor taste to discuss with any detail in public. Suffice it to say, the UOT actually does offer a charging scheme that animates and displays the charge level. I believe you'll find mine and theirs to be strikingly similar actually.

And you can also choose to have the colors change in a gradient as well. The reason mine is noticeably smoother though, is that I completely rebuilt the images and I was careful to have each percent fill the circle an equal amount. It really gave it a smooth feel, hence the name.

Just let me know if I can help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
Are you using that KH3 file that I recently posted? If so, I just looked and I didn't see that there was a data toggle to begin with. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Beefheart:
Sorry for the confusion, I meant the data toggle in the original Cognition 1.5 build. Presumably it's part of the original apk.

Well....to be completely honest I don't know :o. This thread kind of took a different turn as time went on. I didn't really have the time to reorganize the OP and consolidate the updates but in an effort to try to fulfill requests I just posted attachments in individual replies.

I'm not sure that I ever did a circle batter for KG2...I know I did a transparent statusbar though. In a quick search I didn't find a circle battery for KG2.

Hey pendo,

could you do a smooth circular battery mod for my framework file?

Also can you give me a quick rundown on what files I need to change and edit so I don't have to bother you each time I update?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pendo:
My gosh! I'm so sorry....I have been running behind in answering pm's/threads as of late but this one somehow went unnoticed. My apologies everyone.

Refresh my memory what are you looking for?

I honestly can't remember what all is in this thread, lol. If you've seen me post something specifically for KI2, then yes it's possible (probable?) that it would work. Other than that, get me some links to your files.

Same as above, I need the files to work on. :)

Your file is at the bottom in the attachment section.

The *very* quick rundown is this:

Decompile framework-res.apk For the first time you'll need to install samsung framework files as well.

apktool if twframework-res.apk

it will return something like "framework installed to 1.apk" Then run:

apktool d framework-res.apk

Paste the required files, in my mod there's 206 png's that go in drawable-hdpi, and 2 xml files that go in drawable.

Recompile

apktool b framework-res

If successful, new file will be in newly created "dist" folder.

Very important....you will reuse the AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder from the original apk. I just drag and drop them in the new file.

Hello pendo,

I see that they do good work.

I would like to have a statuasbar with symbols in orange.

So the battery, W-Lan/3G, Clock and signal strength.

But I would like 3 times.

Once with a black background, how in stock version.

Once with transparent background 100 %.

And for the way back, the original stock version.

I need these files in zip to flash with cwm.

I have a screenshot where you can see my favorite color to orange.

So I hope that my statusbar looks.

they seem very suitable for this work.

I know that's a lot of work, but I will reward their work.

Thanks and best greetings from denny

Well the white issue is now sorted but the top bar is grey instead of black so it looks a bit odd. The android at the bottom is a nice touch as is the transparent pull down, but there is a white line at the bottom which I think is a gap in the two images.

OK...I'll do some more looking in the xml and see if I can just totally remove the handle area so the actual background pulls all the way down. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to put some sort of handle there to not look so funky.

Now when you say the top bar is grey...I'm a little confused cause it looks black in your screenshot (thanks for providing those btw, it is helpful)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
Are you not just modding the stock green to make it blue? If so surely there shouldn't be this many differences?

OK, thanks. While I did originally use the stock firmware to begin these mods, these last fixes I've just been editing the file I've already worked on, mainly so transparency is still enabled code wise. That way if someone wanted to add/remove/change the transparency effect, it's just a simple png change. In this case I guess I forgot that the original code didn't call a png for the statusbar (even though a png existed for it) but instead called a hex color.

The statusbar color is fixed, but I'm still experimenting with the handle. I've been able to remove it, and it pulls down fine, however you can't fling it up to close....the back button is the only way to release it. :-/
