the answer in your question :)

you need grab apk files from rom-apk folder NOT from saturated folder.

OK.i compiled a 64 bit versions of both executive files.i can't test it cause i have no 64 bit versions.

It's working fine for me.

I unpacked saturator.7z in the root of c:/saturator.

I choose to saturate the /app folder and the framework.res.apk file with SaturatorZmode.

So I unpacked the /app folder and framework.res.apk file in the /rom-apk folder.

Clicked "SaturatorZmode.exe" and the programm started.

When the "It's done" message appeared, in the /satured folder the workedover files where stored

and in the /rom-apk folder replaced the original placed files here,

with the repacked and resigned /app folder and framework.res.apk file.

Now I copyed the /app folder and the framework.res.apk file to there original places in the Rom of my choice.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pReXx:
But there were no files :D

I have 64 bit, too and will try your 64bit versions.

Thanks.

EDIT:

rom-apk folder is empty again. :/

And there is a huuuuuuuge errorlog :D:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
well, i duno what to say, trie 32 bit windows version.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Saturated a CM7 Theme, it worked :-)

But did the same with Operamini.apk -> it force closes now
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pReXx:
But i dont think its a problem of your Zmode/Amode files, cuz there are the saturated pics in the "saturated" folder.

i think its a problem with signing and packing (the last step i think with the "signapk.jar" file?).

i reinstalled my java sdk without success.. hm, so i have to wait till tytung updates his ROM :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
in opera only 2 pics - there is nothing saturate....

about fc - move it to SD it will work - i checkd it allready :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Mh okey.

Doesnt work, ive pulled it from sd-ext and pushed it back. Now the is no more opera mini in my applist
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pReXx:
Did you restart your phone?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Yes.

I will try to saturate the whole typhoon rom now.

Edit:

Still having problem! :

Pushed XYZ.apk in C:\saturator\rom-apk:

SatAMode 32 bit: No XYZ.apk in rom-apk dir

SatAMode 64 bit: XYZ.apk in rom-apk dir, but nothing has changed [ErrorLog: error get w\h C:\saturator\rom-apk\xyz\...

SatZMode 32 bit: No XYZ.apk in rom-apk dir

SatZMode 64 bit: No XYZ.apk in rom-apk dir

What the hell?

Edit 2:

I've used an other computer for now to resaturate the whole app folder of Tyweens 3.6.2 (which i am using atm) and it worked.

Damn this looks HOT!

I feel like I've got a new screen!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patensas:
Okay so i have tried my luck and gave Saturator a chance on an other ( Windows XP ) computer. No luck at all and just like before.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Oh..i forgot to remove this log, cause it needed for me (for debugging) , you can ignore it.

I know :) .

patensas

I don`t understand why it is not working for you, i trie my apps on some other computers - on my work,at my freinds ,at my home and allways is fine.

oh...your winxp is 64 bit?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patensas:
No the Windows XP is 32 bit, perhaps something with my java setup? I guess it's just not packing and signing the apk`s
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
I have exatcly the same problem. It just worked on an other computer for me. My .apk do not get repacked on my system. Maybe the problem is java related.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bluesupra:
woow amazing... great job dude
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
So I may be reading this wrong but I'm placing the Energyrom zip folder into rom-apk folder. I started the SaturatorZmode.exe and I get a pop up saying extract files but nothing happens. I then start the exe again and it says done and deletes the rom.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
You have to extract the system/app folder into rom-apk dir, and you should push the /system/framework/framework.apk into rom-apk dir too. After resaturation with zmode you can easily pull your resaturated files (which should be in rom-apk dir) back into the zip via winrar (simply overwrite them) thats it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Im assuming the same can be done with data/app & app_s and so on?

**Edit

Ok so after extracting system/app into rom-apk folder I tried running zmode and nothing happened except everything being deleted. So I just dumped the system apks in there and tried Amode. It runs and says done but when looking back in the folder it's empty. What am I missing?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Guys, i realy don`t understand why your rom-apk dir is empty and for some other people is working fine...,maybe you don`t have properly installed java ? Ok.I`ll trie to help you with that.

1.Uninstall your java from your computer.reboot.

2.Download Ccleaner from here:

http://www.piriform.com/CCLEANER

3.Run it and install, then clean up your registry.

4.download this version of java sdk from here:

http://www.multiupload.com/ZUDJO24QP3

5.Install

On this version it`s work 100%.If this not help you out - you broke the rules (i wrote abote them in this thread).I hope it will help you.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
For x64 users this will be the correct java sdk:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
replace with what?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Favorite1995:
Looks nice.

Can i use it for any Sense Rom, too ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Thanks for posting this, my apks still get deleted with Amode and Zmode still just does nothing. I'm going to try on a different computer later, maybe I will have better luck.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cronos:
update the file "aapt.exe" from the archive with name "apktool-install-windows-r04-brut1.tar.bz2"
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
didn't fix it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patensas:
Okay so now this is driving me nuts! Been trying all day long uninstalling Java / Installing Java / replacing files and so on without any luck. Guess this isn't meant to be working for me in any way.

So would someone that got it working be willing to perform this magic on my build for me? You can find my build here it would be highly appreciated
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Sure.No problem.I`ve done 2 version for you - with saturation 1.6 ,and 2.0.

There is a 2 packages, inside it : app folder,media folder with needed files only,and framework-res.apk.Zip mode used for both versions.

saturation 1.6

http://www.multiupload.com/KIRLB813RJ

saturation 2.0

http://www.multiupload.com/NBNVUBLH6L

4 all.New release of my app coming soon.Anounce:

*saturatorAmode and saturatorZmode merged to one.

*GUI interface.

*Some code optimization.

**MAYBE file association context menu with APK,MTZ to automatically processed from any folder and autosave with prefix RS.

It will be when it will be done.So do not ask me "when ?".
[HD2 Android NAND Development] langthang:
Very good new, I'm waiting it.

The first version don't working for me.

I'll try next version and use it for my build :)

Thanks so much
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
if you want, i can use it for your rom now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patensas:
Thank you very much, flashing now :eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
I am complete gui for new release, and do some fan art :) :

as you can see ,now you can change saturation on that window, and see how it look on the right image in this window
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Does this only expand this tool to a gui, or does this also fix sth?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Now i`am trying to fix some problems on my files processing engine, some problems with path`s and some code optimization.I also provide new system checking that can help you avoid some stupid mistakes.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
I have found the problem why my app does`nt work on 64 bit systems, and i fixed that issue.Just wait little more.Update coming soon.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Those are great news :-)

Im eagerly waiting

Thank you for your effort!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fuorionda:
any news? :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
You wanna news? Ok. I have fixed some problems. But i little delay it,because right now i am working on new REALY NICE feature - mmm.....i called it "Iconer". That new feature give you a choise to autoprocessing apps icons with some modification. In other words - you can processed icons on style you want.For example: you run my app and wanna saturate whole rom, and you want your apps icons look special , you choose a template....and that`s it.Here some example:

or......

Of course you can use your own template :)

I am working.....don`t ask me "when ?" :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Good news :-) sounds innovative
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Right now i`ve been successfully tested my new app version and new feature on windows 7 64 bit ! It seems like all working ! I think release will be tomorow.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patensas:
And there we have some great news! Waiting patiently :eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
I`ve done new version of my app, but i am sorry- i have no time to change the op ,provide you download link and give you explanation.I will do it as soon as posible - i am sorry for that.Here is the changes:

*Added - Iconer.

*Added - new GUI.

*Added - Zipalign

*Added - Test rom-apk dir at compatibility of zip and apktool modes

*Fixed - Support windows7 x64

I successfuly tested my app and new feature (iconer) on windows 7 x64.I resaturate the latest Typhoon cm7 3.6.6.So i could not resist to show you some screens:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
WOW very COOL!

Waiting for the download LINK! :)

Thanks allot!

If it's will work and no FC the apps this will be the NEXT ROM SKIN generation!

It can be HUGE! get ready for donations! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
I released new version and change OP.

dorimanx

I have NO "FC" issues,but i exclude this apk from processing:

ApplicationsProvider

CertInstaller

DefaultContainerService

DrmProvider

GoogleBackupTransport

GooglePartnerSetup

HTMLViewer

MarketUpdater

NetworkLocation

OneTimeInitializer

PackageInstaller

UserDictionaryProvider

Because they DO NOT have res folder inside,that mean there is nothing to saturate.

I am on that rom 2 days and i have no fc or any problems.Maybe it is because i exclude those app`s.....i dunno.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
TESTED:

Typhoon 3.6.7 , saturation 1.8 , iconerWH enabled ,ZIP mode , folder framework - framework-res.apk,folder system\app , excluded:

I have no "FC".and it seems all working.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patensas:
Tweakos thanks for your hard work again, i've downloaded the new release and i can tell you everything is working out for me :D Didn't use the iconer option yet as i am using personal icons already, but as far as the saturate mode everything is fine.

Flashed a saturated version of my personal build and everything is working like a charm without FC.

FYI i`m using Windows 7 64b system
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
Thanks allot for this release I will create new ROM and use your program on it.

Then report after full tests :D

Great job!

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
patensas,dorimanx

i am glad to hear it :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] langthang:
I'm downloading your new version and check it work with my new MIUI version or not.

Thanks so much for your great work :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
So I ran this on my system/app folder and it completed and placed all the apk files in the saturated folder but now they don't appear to be apks anymore? They are all folders with apk extension, is this normal?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Moon2:
The place where you put your original apks were modded, so those are the saturated apks now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Oh I see, so even though they look like folders now they are still signed apks that are able to flash?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Read the OP.You need grab your files back from rom-apk folder NOT from saturated folder.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Ok I thought that's what it meant but just like the previous version, the files disappear from the rom-apk folder after the operation is complete.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rando81:
I have the same problem as chrisrj28 and apk-rom becomes empty after the process is done :confused:

tried both zip and apktool modes with and without subdirs
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Hmm, ok now I tried dropping the apks directly into rom-apk and running the program in APKTOOL mode and it appears to have worked. Deleted apks from that folder then signed them and they came back. All except google maps that is but I'm assuming that's just one of the apps that it does not work on?

Im gonna try Saturating the latest EnergyRom and see what happens.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] von4duck:
Hi, great ideea but my AVG says that the folder had 3 viruses of high danger....

What's with that?? I could not use the program due to that...

Maybe there is a virus hidden since you insist to put the folder in the root of the hardrive....

Has anybody else encountered the same problem?

Cheers.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jirka607:
May i ask if there is a way to saturato whole rom automatically?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
At this moment- no.Maybe in the future i will do something about that.But now i have some other things need to be improved,and some features i planned to adding to my app.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] langthang:
Hi,

First, thank you so much for your great work.

Second, could give me a recommand number for Saturation value?

I used 1.6 and some others number for my MIUI ROM but I saw that the image quality isn't good,

Thanks again
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Poor image quality you can have ONLY on jpg pics,cause there is a special struct of jpg there is a ...i dunno how to explain that.Just use PNG! About saturation value- now i am using 1.8 because 1.6 is not enough for me.:)

Edit: i think i can do something about jpg,but i need a time to check it.So until Monday (all i need at my work include source code) i cannot do that.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] maestropetr:
Hi chef can u pls post how to exactly change mtz for MIUI I have don as on video but it is not recognize by themes manager. thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Ok.Step by step.

1.Unpack your mtz theme (for example - my.mtz) to folder "my"

2. Place that folder to rom-apk dir

3.Run saturator, do your settings, then choose ZIP mode, go.

4.When process almost finished, saturator ask you to sign some files - ask no until process finished.

5.Go to rom-apk dir , go to inside "my" folder.

6.Open your my.mtz with winrar(you can open it whatever you want) - and COMPARE the content of both folder.You may find some diference in folders - example - framework-res may have extension zip1 , but inside your my.mtz this file have no extenshion.You need remove extenshion of this file in "my" folder.You will need this actions with other files,to bring content of "my" folder,to the same as my.mtz.

7.Select all files inside "my" folder and pack it with zip format.

8.Find your packed my.zip and rename it to my.mtz.

9.Profit.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
All my attempts to "defeat" jpg - fails.If i saturate jpg to png - it is perfect , but when i saturate jpg to jpg - the quality (sharp) - lost, if i saturate png to jpg - is the same.I will try something else....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
I solved the problem.For now 100% quality of images,not only for jpg,PNG also improved.So update will soon.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] maestropetr:
thanks for reply

follow step by step but without success. aether all framework-res r missing or any file is not present.then I did extract files from saturated_ zip them and then it has working and is perfect 100% better. don't knw what I'm doing wrong or can be it a bug?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
V 1.2 released.Poor image quality fixed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Good work!

It's odd, but for me the Zip-mode never works. It delets all .apk files.

APK-Mode woks pretty good, except for some apk, which i have to replace with stock ones.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
I dunno what is your problem,anybody have same problem?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Yes I had the same issue, .zip mode would only delete the apks and never return them. Apk mode does work but not for all apks, like Rosie for HTC Sense for example.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tak3r07:
Thats it. APK mode is lacking some .apk's and zip doesnt create any apk
[HD2 Android NAND Development] krook6023:
Had the same problem, deleted java, ran cleaner...installed recommended version...and it works. See post below...

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

So after I installed the correct jdk the app works!

I still get FC issues no matter what I try.

First I tried...

Excluded the apps above and tried zipmode only ---> Force Close

Then I tried...

Excluded the apps above and used zipmode first, replaced apks in ROM. Then ran apkmode on the original files and as expected some files did not convert, then i replaced the apks in the ROM that were already converted in zipmode with the new ones from apkmode ---> Force Close

Then I tried...

Excluded all google apps and tried zip mode only ---> Force Close

Then I tried...

Excluded all google apps and used zipmode first, replaced apks in ROM. Then ran apkmode on the original files and as expected some files did not convert, then i replaced the apks in the ROM that were already converted in zipmode with the new ones from apkmode ---> Force Close

Each time it is the same error "The proces com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly..."

I have tried all the above steps on 2 different ROMs --- same issue;

[05 OCT] Dorimanx-ROM-HIGH-END 2.8.8 NO-HOME-REFRESH+SWAP+JIT+SKIN+TWEAKS+CRON

[DAILY][MAGLDR/cLK] CM 7 Nightlies [Android 2.3.7][Kernel: charan]

I am sure that I am doing something wrong or maybe I need to exclude the framework-res.apk(?)...and try again. I was able to see a big difference in the way the phone looked....but I had to revert back b/c of the FC issues and other instabilities. I just wanted to give my feedback...I will keep trying when I have time.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
Thank you for yor reply.

I did not test DorimanX rom, and i din not test CM7 nightlies also,so i cannot say enything about them.Ok.I try to help you figure it out.But you need to help me with that.What i need from you - if you like Typhoon,my work,and you can help,or you want to help - help me test it.

Well ,now i am using my own rom based on Typhoon,but specialy for that case i revert back to original Typhoon 3.6.8.So , i take a Typhoon 3.6.8 and resaturate it:

I exclude some app`s , i am wrote about them above, from processing, i used saturation 1.8,zip mode.I did not use Iconer,maybe some people not like it (but by your request i can make one).

If tyween will be against about that - i remove it:

Typhoon 3.6.8 ReSaturated​

What is working: Everything should work like in original rom.

For me everything works - phone,data,usb,market,camera,video playback,app`s....i did not test WIFI only,because there is no wifi network in my city....And i have no FC !!!

What is not working:You should feedback in this thread,but only when original rom did not have your issue.

Known bug`s:

Preview for themes in theme chooser.

Opera FC ,but only when it is installed to nand, solution - go to settings-application-manage application - find opera - tap it - tap move to sd.

I also resaturate Mixer theme, you can find original thread in android themes forum,so for great theme all credits go to there.

Some screens :

On screens:

dockbar - i used a special theme for ADW that i cannot give you for some reasons, so do not ask me for it.Clock - fancy widget.

Installation:

partition layout - 150\5\5

If you use another rom - make a clean install

If you use Typhoon 3.6.X - clear dalvik cash,flash it.

DOWNLOAD

http://www.multiupload.com/BADRR1UVGH

Inside 7z archive you will find rom,2 version mixer 8 theme.

I did only MAGLDR version, for those who use CLK - Download original Typhoon 3.6.8 CLK version, replace the app folder and framework-res from saturated version to original.

Maybe this is important - i am not using ext partitions.

So if you help me to test this rom - i will be happy.Please feedback - work it for you or not.This is important for me , and for people that they want to our hd2 will look better.

EDIT

Succesfully updated to resaturated typhoon 3.6.9.Still no FC.

Dear tweakos

i was trying to resaturate this theme file call honeybread tablet tweaked theme: http://www.mediafire.com/?dum283paygzb1qb , after resaturated it with 1.8 setting, it was installed without problem, but then after choose it in the theme chooser, everything works except the battery icon on the right lower corner disppeared, it becomes a battery with a question mark in it, please help me with this matter. And i still have one more question, i was trying to resaturate the Framework res.apk by pulling it out of the system folder after i flashed the rom, but then after i put it back and restart, most of my apps start poping up FCs, does the framework file has to be saturated before the rom gets flashed into the nand? Thank you for your great work!!:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tweakos:
About theme - i have this issue on some themes - not on all themes.I try to do something with that,because it is a problem for me to.

About framework - saturate it,put it in yor rom,flash rom again,BUT clear dalvik cash! This is important.Thank for your reply.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daedric:
How sad. I do indeed notice alot more color banding on the HD2 than on my DHD (anfair comparision, i know). One place where it's perfectly visible, is on the overscrool effect.

You know, that shade that pops at top or botom of a scrool list when you try to "push" it further.

Anyhow, CM7 at least, we can enable dithering. Do you know how can we enable it on for example MIUI ?

BTW, most LCDs (computer, not cellphone) are 18-bit and get the 24-bit via dithering.

If a LCD can gain 6bit color info with dithering (we usually don't see much banding on LCDs) then perhaps we can gain 2/4 on the HD2... :)
