Where is this file? I can't find it in framefork-res.apk. No folder named "value-fr" in the folder "res". What tool(s) should I use to find the string.xml file?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ronhoover88:
Dont mess around with xml unless you know what you are doing...use apk manager and decompile the framework and edit using note pad++

@trip007in

sir as u know that now i m using xxkb3 firmware so can u post here modded framework file having 'flip' animation??? I really love that animation but last time because of some mistake my phone soft bricked. So thats why I m asking u sir...

Also I want to ask that when we want to unpack & repack framework file then is it necessary that we must use 7zip software on computer...? Last time I unpacked & repacked framework on phone with help of astro file manager...!!

Also can I replace framework file manually with help of root explorer or do we have to flash modded framework file through recovery only???

These are very basic but imp questions for me sir...!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jcbalunsat:
^

Why would you want to unpack and repack a framework? Were revisions made to it? Use APKmanager to unpack/repack or as you've said 7z, would do.

for your next question, yes you can use root explorer if you would opt not to have the moddded recov for the time being.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@vishal,

Adding anim folder to framework-res.apk file is one of the easiest way to modify Window animation. It would be highly impossible for me to take up request from everybody, but I think I can guide you such that you don't brick your phone requiring reflash.

I hope you must have put CWM alpha release by Skin, it is really going to save your skin when you have soft bricked your phone by flashing incompatible framework or lib file etc., and caught in the boot loop. Then what you need is back up of the original file in flushable zip using CWM. Making those zip files are generally quite easy and every time you make it I would reques tyou that test it and make sure it works.

Now coming to adding custom animation to your theme, just do the following.

1. Place a copy of framework-res.apk in a folder eg: Desktop/custom_thm

2. Place the downloaded anim folder to the same location Desktop/custom_thm. If it was zipped you will unzip it, and use it as anim folder, please do not use it in zip format.

3. Now right click on framework-res.apk and select 7.zip>open archive. Now enter on res folder, you will see anim folder of the theme.Now just drag the downloaded anim folder into the opened framework-res.apk. Accept to replace the contents when prompted.

You are done with replacing the new window animation into the framework-res.apk. Just reeplace this into your phone /system/framework. reboot.

Just wait to reboot.

If you are caught in boot loop due to any error, just use CWM zip from sdcard. Please remember you need to have this updatezip on sdcard, before you do all this, because you cant access you sdcard after you got bootloop.

Hope this will help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I did'nt manage to do it. On my first attempt, i had my string.xml and could change the code but at the end, APK Manager could not rewrite framework-res.apk from my PC to my phone. What was strange, at this time, was that i had two apks, the original one and another unsigned one, twice lighter.

On my second, and third, and fourth attempts, APK Manager couldn't extract the values-* folders (though I didn't have any error message).

I hadn't signed the apk, for it was mentionned not to do so with system ones. And when I tried to send back my so-called "project" to my phone I didn't use the install command (n° 7), tried to make an adb push (n° 8) as also mentionned.

I don't know what's going wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@Pralinos, What are you trying to edit here and what is the xml code that you are editing?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I'm just trying to change :

<string name="lockscreen_plugged_in">Chargement (%d%%d%%)</string>

in :

<string name="lockscreen_plugged_in">Chargement (%d%%)</string>

The code is in framework-res.apk (framework/res/values-fr/string.xml)

I try to edit and replace this apk in either Ultimate Green Tripin theme, Legend X Tripin theme or Gingerbread theme (all of them for i9003XXKB3).

Ultimate Green Tripin is my favourite, the only thing missing is the extended power menu.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Fine I am writing a short guide for editing framework-res.apk here hope it will help everyone who is asking for modding guide. However, it would be impossible to cover everything and I m keeping it simple and short. May be other members with knowledge of modding can help fellow members.

OK... Do the following using APK manager,

1. Extract and put framewor-res.apk in place-apk-here-for-modding.

2. Double click Script and select option 22

3. From the apk choice select the serial no. of framework-res.apk

4. now select choice 9 to decompile the apk

5. Now go to Projects > framework-res.apk. Browse to the xml file you want to edit

6. Open the xml file in notepad++, edit the string and save. exit from notepad++

7. GO to script again and compile apk by selecting option 11. wait till you see the message "Is this a system apk"

If you see "An error occurred, Please check the Log (Option 21)". You will fail in compiling the apk, you have to work on fresh apk file which was not edited earlier.

8. Now press any key to continue and input 'y' and press enter, when promoted "Is this a system apk"

9. again input 'y' and press enter

10. This will create "keep" folder on the root of apk manager. Browse to the keep folder and delete the files you edited.

"Keep folder is extract of original files from apk, if you delete the files you have edited in the keep folder, the new apk will be made by picking the edited file from projects folder". However in case of framework-res.apk files the edited xmls are pushed into the resources.arsc. so you have to delete the resources.arsc from keep folder.

11. Now goto Script again and press any key to continue. This will create unsignedframework-res.apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding"

12. You dont have to sign this file. But apk manger packaging into .apk is not compatible with system. So, now right click on the unsignedframework-res.apk and extract using 7-zip by right clicking on apk and selecting extract to “file name” and then enter in to the extracted folder select the contents and repacked as zip using 7zip > Add to archive and select Archive format as Zip and Compression level as Store. This zip should be renamed as framework-res.apk.

Bingo... You are done just replace this file into your framewrok folder and reboot.

Dont forget to have restore.zip on sdcard using CWM in case you are caught in bootloop.

For modifying png files just replace them in the framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ folder from your favorite theme using 7zip. You don't need the apk files to be decompiled for this.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
@tripin: how can i disable the slide window animation when opening an application or how can i restore the original window animation from thr stock fw? I really appreciate your reply.. And if it's not too much of a trouble, can you edit it for us? Maybe some members here would also love the stock window animation.. Best regards.. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
As I said. It is one of the easiest task to change animation. you have to open the Stock framework-res.apk and modded one using 7zip by right clicking on them and selecting 7zip>open archive. Now enter into Framework-res.apk/res/ you will see anim folder. Just drag anim folder from stock to modded framework-res/res/ such that it is replaced. Just accept when prompted to replace. Close the archive and now put the framework-res.apk into /sytem/framework. You will now have stock window animation.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Thanks, i'll try that later. Bdw, why is it when i am downloading something i't just shows the progress bar when i slide down the notification bar and it doesn't show the percentage or the informatin on what i am downloading.. Can i use the 1% batt indicator for kb3 in your post or is it for kp9 only?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Well.... will check it....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Also the battery status.. When charging it shows about approximately 10% based on tge semi circle.. After pulling out the charger it shows the real status of the battery..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Thank you so much for this great step-to-step explanation. I would never have been able to find my way by myself.

I made a first trial this morning, all seemed to work well until I copy ma new framework-res.apk on the phone, which started to loop.

I will try once again. Yet I stil have a question : on point 3, where can I find the serial no. of framework-res.apk? I wrote "1" as I didn't know. Can it involve problems such as those I encountered?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I've done it right for my second attempt! I did an adb pull (task n° 0 in APK Manager) from my phone instead of taking the apk from the theme pack. I don't know if this had caused the bug but then APK Manager directly asked me if I wanted to set it as my current project and didn't ask for a serial n°. Well, I hope this will be helpful for some french users and maybe others. Than you again trip007 for the time you spent on the issue. Thanks also misledz and you fallex 007 for finding the bug source and showing me the way it could be solved.

Power Inquiry

Guys, I got a question, Do loading this theme affects your battery life? I mean do using themes drains more your battery? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
I feel it does, for with naked KB3 my phone remained charged for 15 hours, now maybe 8-10, but I spent a lot of time on these themes and on launchers those last few days (installing, testing, uninstalling, recovering...)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
No, it doesn't. Theme is just png images and some effects that you can switch off.

You're welcome. But you went more far than me into developing themes. :-)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
@Pralinos No problem man. It's good to know we have people like you who go in-depth into source coding. Would greatly benefit the community In the future :)

Although one thing intrigues me is when you flash a theme or a ROM the Battery looses it's callibration. I've charged my phone to 80% and when I flash to GB or update.zip the battery charge drops to 40% and then it starts dropping from there. Phones average lifespan is 10hrs with Wi-Fi on constantly so battery's fine. Wonder if it's a stock matter?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anigr88:
I need one change in theme is that when i download anything from market at that moment in notification i cant see any written part...

Pls can u change that :)

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Only happens when your downloading, The word "Downloading" is in black which is why it doesn't show up when you download something from the market. Not really a problem but it's a small price to pay for an awesome theme :D

--Also did anyone else notice facebook is now integrated, You can now actually like threads and posts :P
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anigr88:
If its corrected it will be an awesome app :D :D

If done or any guide to do it :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
The serial no. will be 1 if you have not placed more than one apk file in the folder.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Eventually i couldn't fix the bug on the lock screen for the Legend X theme. I tried directly with the framework-res.apk provided in your pack but I have an error message when I recompile the file. Nethertheless, I solved the problem for the Ultimate Green Tripin theme and also for the Gingerbread theme (both for Froyo XXKB3 firmware). I 'm going to post the zip files in the regarding threads.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Congrats... Dude... Hope we will have valuable contribution to our community in future.. Welcome to devs community...

Yeahhh.... I know, there is extensive XML editing in LegendX-tripin... You can not straight away work on this file from LegendX as there is lot of modifications in XMLs. I will have to work on it again from begining.... Was also planning to modify the progress bar color slightly different than the current one. Will do it later... I have also modified that battery indicator for French language and fixed it on Ultimate-Green-tripin theme along with extended power menu.. Will post it tomorrow in the respective thread... You can download it...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
It was just three characters in a single xml file, and I was able to end it only thanks to the time you spent yourself to give advice. but I'll be glad to help each time it's possible to me.

I will download the files you're working on, for sure!

I'm fairly certain the application used is irrelevant, the GPS gets the same result no matter what. ROM might influence it, but I've never noticed a difference.

I vote for Google Maps in any case.

I'm running Mik's CM7 and Franco's v18 kernel with smartass as governor. I tried running Linpack and it returned 'Inaccurate Results'. Is this normal?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMickeyMoose:
So I flashed CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V7.0 to my phone earlier coming from CM7.0.3. I cleared /data, /cache, dalvik cache, and my battery stats before flash. I of course made a backup in CWM before hand. So I decided I didn't like the ROM so I ran CWM recovery, there were no errors but when I rebooted it got stuck on the boot animation. I removed the battery several times and tried rebooting but it just keeps getting stuck on the boot animation. Sooooooo, any ideas?:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Sounds like a bad nandroid I think. Try to flash a new fresh ROM and see if its boot and then try to flash the back up. If it still doesn't work then sorry your gonna have to start fresh
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMickeyMoose:
How do I boot into CWM from Phone Off?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Boot into hboot with volume down and power and click recovery
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMickeyMoose:
volume buttons dont change selection, it just sits there then searches for PD98IMG.zip
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Does it find the PD98IMG?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMickeyMoose:
yes but the file that i have named PD98IMG.zip is just a boot splash.

EDIT oops my bad its a radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
take out your sd card and after it can't find the PD98IMG put it back in and press volume down and press power on recovery
[HTC Inspire 4G] MrMickeyMoose:
SIR, YOU ARE A GENIUS OF HERCULEAN PROPORTIONS! I flashed an older backup and I'm up and running again! THANK YOU!:D:D:D:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Glad to help. Goodluck in the future! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
This happened to me once. I suggest whenever the radio/whatever is successfully flashed through hboot, delete any PDIMG98.img from your SD card immediately. It makes restore back-up events much less of an event...I didn't know the removal / reinsert the SD card trick...I reasoned I needed to get that file off my card so ran to Radio Shack just before close to get a micro SD card reader, so I could delete PDIMG98 using my PC...just removing and re-inserting the card really works huh? Cool :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Yeah I was in my car and I was in a bootloop and had a PD98IMG file on my root and I couldn't get in touch with a computer so I thought and tried that and sure enough it worked!
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Nice! Well I get a micro SD card reader out of it anyway...I guess I should have one...
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Yeah same here I bought one before I did that haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
I should have said get it off the root of your SD card post flash. There are reasons to keep a copy of your radio flash on your phone. Just not in the root directory of course...

stuck at boot animation of the cyanogen cat

Hi Guys,

I am a newbie and I had recently flashed cyanogenmod t0lteatt stable version on to my SGH-T889V which was working perfectly fine.

I took a nandroid backup after installing the above

My original baseband was t889vvlucmk4 and was working fine with cyanogenmod

Later on I thought of installing the fancy DN3 v5+ rom

I did not see that this one is for a different model of Note 2.. i.e. it was for aN7100 version and resulted in a BASEBAND UNKNOWN and thus no signal.

I tried wipe cache / wipe reset factory and wipe dalvik and restore the nandroid backup ...

Now I am stuck in Cyanogenmod boot animation.

I waited for at least 15-20 minutes. Nothing happened

Any Tips and tricks ?

Hi guys,

Seeing we're stuck with the Samsung Lockscreen for the moment, I went ahead an made up some Wallpapers which would work a little better are a little 'classier' then the ones we've been given.

Have a look, hopefully you like them.

P.S. I've found that using the 'middle' clock works best (until we find a way to get rid of the thing all together!).
