[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilelash:
But how do I recover all my data,apps???
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostas_grevena3:
Your backed up data should be in your sd card...after you go back to 2.1, you root your phone, install xrecovery and then you can recover your data from there...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jul644:
This is best done after you flash a ROM as you might lose some settings.

(I noticed my wall paper changed and i had to sign back into Google account)

---This framework-res.apk file is different for every ROM---

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>75</item>
<item>75</item>
<item>75</item>
<item>97</item>
<item>120</item>
<item>142</item>
<item>170</item>
<item>198</item>
<item>227</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>

These are values that I use and found best for me:

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>20</item>
<item>40</item>
<item>50</item>
<item>70</item>
<item>90</item>
<item>100</item>
<item>130</item>
<item>155</item>
<item>180</item>
<item>225</item>
</integer-array>

To send it back to your phone

You have to copy the file to your phone with ADB or you will get a boot loop and have to re install your ROM.

Link for APK Manager HERE

If you have problems with apk manager showing java error (like it did) this post helped me fix that :)

APK Manager 4.9 download link (currently original thread link down)

http://www.zshare.net/download/99034654c32618ba/
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] m0biusace:
WOW! I was just about to ask if anyone knew how to accomplish this! Thanks dude!

Edit: Er..phone just went into a bootloop. Lemme try again..

Edit2: I first replaced the framework-res.apk using root explorer...big mistake, phone went into a bootloop and I couldnt adb to it to push the apk correctly, whoops. Just reinstalled the ROM I was using and pushed the apk using adb and all is well.

I noticed two other very similar looking values: config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesUp and config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesDown. Is it necessary to change these as well?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jul644:
Yes you have to use adb :) ill put that in the first post,

to be honest i am not entirely sure what that is for i assume, that it is when you move the slider what values it displays when you slide it, i noticed a change without changing those values.

also i changed the button back lights to 200, i find it more than enough for me.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pauley:
Serious props to you jul644 for detailing this process! I've always hated how the Hero, Evo, & now Vivid I've had never got dark enough in pitch black rooms, and now I'm excited to fix that problem. I was curious though since I just modded my battery meter using UOT Kitchen, if I could drop in the backlight-modded framework-res.apk via 7-zip replacing the UOT framework-res.apk file then flash it via recovery. I wonder if that would make me sign into Google and mess with settings like you mentioned. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pauley:
How-To with UOT

How, if it's possible, do we integrate this modded framework-res.apk into a UOT Kitchen zip flash file? I want to mod my battery icons and would like to install at the same time so one doesn't interfere with the other. Should I upload the framework-res.apk from this to UOT Kitchen (with my original SystemUI.apk) and then change the battery icons, then download and flash?

Thanks for your help!

*****EDIT - 2/15/2011*****

Ok so I did the framework-res.apk edits by decompiling/recompiling per jul644, uploaded that into UOT Kitchen along with original SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk. I chose my battery icon mod, downloaded, cleared all the caches and flashed in recovery with no problems :o) Just wanted to let you guys know how to make it a recovery flashable zip instead of pushing via ADB.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] noone606:
ICS?

So can anyone confirm or deny if this still works wit ICS will be trying it myself, when I get a chance, but would rather not waste time if it wont work!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pauley:
It does work, I have done it. ICS it's just more difficult to decompile & recompile. I added it & 1% stock-style battery icons into Pirateghost's CWM .56 flashable ROM.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] noone606:
Keep getting errors when recompiling using stock telstra ICS+ root

error on 1st line after selecting option 11 ie. step 5 above

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong????

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

okay also getting this error twice before it de-compiles

the system cannot find the path specified

then seems to decompile happily???????????

Any suggestions?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
I'm getting an 'Operation not permitted' when I try to remount before pushing the file back. Anyone else having this problem? I'm running a WCX GB ROM (no ICS, I'm on Rogers).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jul644:
are you trying to remount your sd card? if so do not, just select charge only
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
No, just trying to remount as per the instructions in the first post, so /system is R/W. Setting it to charge only. No dice.

I tried doing it in recovery (by mounting /system, then going through the ADB commands, all of which are successful), but the result is a bootloop once I'm done.

Edit: It's also worth noting that newer versions of APK Manager/Multi-tool seem to have different numbering for the operations. In step 9, number 22 sets the compression level, whereas I think it used to set the active APK (which I think is 25 now).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
I ended up taking the stock framework-res from the ROM, modifying the arrays.xml values as per the OP instructions, then going through the UOT Kitchen (I had a battery mod anyway). Worked perfectly.

Thanks to pauley for reporting success earlier, which provided me with the workaround.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pod0087:
Has anyone done this that could possibly create a flashable zipped version of it? I tried to do it myself but with the new APK Multi Tool things were different to the instructions of OP and I couldn't get it to work :(

Edit: Nvm managed to fix it and make my own flashable zip. Thanks for the effort OP
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I have tried to do this... And I keep getting an error on the recompile side...

Just wondering... Does apkmanager require windows 7 or something... Or is there some reason it wouldn't work on windows xp?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pod0087:
The errors I encountered when compiling were solved by:

1) Putting Java in the windows path

2) Putting ADB in the windows path

3) Not having any spaces in the APK Manager file path

There are no OS dependencies that I'm aware of. Just open the log from within the APK manager and you should be able to identify the error.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
The problem is I don't really speak java all that well...

Could I just move the java executable to the working directory?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pod0087:
For java, all you have to do is download the JDK (i got the 32 bit version), and then add 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin' to the windows path so it becomes something like:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\runtime\win64;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin;C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\;C:\Android\APKMultiTools\

For Windows XP, you'd probably be running 32 bit and so it would be installed in the regular program files.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jul644:
thanks for the help! can you tell me the new number system with apk manager?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pod0087:
From OP, his step 9 says ". Once done, input 22 in apk manager and select "unsignedframework-res.apk" by entering the number that stands for it. After selecting it You should see in apk main window in the top right corner "Current-App: unsignedframework-res.apk"."

It's number 25 in the APK Multi Tool to change the project to the newly compiled apk. That's the only difference in the newer version of the tool. [You should have used this previously at the very start to select the project before step 3]
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I am still getting an error... even after adjusting the path...

its an exception in brut.common...

says its unable to execute aapt....

though i found aapt.exe...

wondering if that has any dependencies... or if i can just put it in the apkmultitool directory?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pod0087:
Check the developers thread for some more ideas: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310151. I never got that error so you can try putting the file where you wish, but from that error alone it sounds like your path is set wrong for the android SDK (I moved my AndroidSDK directory to minimise any potential spacing errors and so my path was: C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\). If you're still having trouble, paste the log and your path here or in the thread mentioned earlier for some help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I give the hell up.... I guess I'll either wait for a cwm flashable file... Or i'll wait for cm9.... I will lose no more sleep over this...

Though I think I got it to compile... When I was done the original file size had been cut in half to only 5 meg instead of the original 10 meg... And when I tried to boot it... It hung at the at&t image in the boot animation....

*sigh*
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pod0087:
Yeh the newly compiled apk will be smaller due to compression - this is mentioned in documentation.

When I get home I'll upload my CWM flashable one. If you're using the 1% battery mod that would make it easier for me as I combined the two mods and haven't separated them yet.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I'm using the stock deodexed Rom... Don't have a 1% battery mod... But I won't look a gift horse in the mouth ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pod0087:
Ok here it is, a few things:

I have a deodexed Telstra ICS rom so I'm not sure if you can use it on whatever you've got (although I imagine it's OK as the battery mod worked for me)

As I replaced my framework-res.apk without making a backup, I can't edit the original file without you providing me yours (hence the 1% battery mod comes with it). I don't mind compiling the apk again if you're willing to send me your default framework-res.apk if you don't want the 1% mod.

The 1% battery mod I got from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582670

I used the following values {20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 255} instead of OP's values as I found his too dark in some environments, and when it changed brightness it was sometimes in very steep increments, so I tried to be more linear. [For interest, we have to wait till 4.0.4 to get smooth transitions between brightness levels.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cannothas:
Pod, I'm on a rooted GB AT&T vivid, with twrp recovery installed. I too hate the default brightness, and would love to try this solution, do I need to switch back to cwm recovery?

I've no idea as I don't use it sorry.

So if I were to try this, would you recommend switching back to cwm, do you think it matters, or don't know?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Resurrecting this thread to ask if anyone knows where to find the brightness values in a stock Rogers ICS ROM's framework-res. There's no values folder in /res, nor can I find an arrays.xml anywhere else, but I may have not looked in the right place.

Edit: Never mind, I guess I decompiled improperly.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] arindam4u:
After trying so many apps I found those apps which are best replacement for Samsung Galaxy Y built-in boring lockscreen.

The main thing is that some of them on Google PlayStore says that it is not supported by Galaxy Y, but I don't know why!

For example "Go Locker", Android Google PlayStore says it is not compatible, but I have tried it and works great.

I have also tried "MiLocker", its themes are not supported by our resolution.

Though you can use it by LDPI themes. ;)

Now my question is if the "MiLocker" says supported why not "Go Locker"!

Anyway, the lockscreens those are working with Galaxy Y are as follows:

1. WidgetLocker Lockscreen (Recommended) (Paid)

2. GO Locker (Free)

3. Holo Locker (Free)

4. MagicLocker Main (Free)

5. MiLocker (For LDPI themes visit here.) (Free)

If you find your stock ROM lockscreen appearing/interfering your lockscreen apps then install "No Lock" app from Google PlayStore via following link.

No Lock Google PlayStore Link.

From this little app you can Disable Stock ROM LockScreen.

That is all I could find. If you think I missed something, feel free to comment here! ;)

You can always Enable Notification bar by Uncheck (Disable) these:

"Disable Notification bar" option in "Buttons & Inputs" setting and "Hide Notification Bar" option in "Look & Feel" Setting.

Sorry I cannot give you the link cause this forum does not let me...

If you are want to be secured then use built in pattern lock.

Or If you want to control your fav apps like music player, facebook, weather etc from lockscreen then use Widgetlocker or you can customize as you wish. A nice Clock and weather widget on lockscreen looks great if you ask me.

Or If you want to be Secured and as well as want a lockscreen as per your customized way then use Widgetlocker and Pattern Lock both! as they could be used at a same time.. ;)

You can use MiLocker.

Actually Go Devs are always tend to Update Go Launcher and Go Locker, So it is hard for me to always upload new version. And the problem is we cannot Download it either from PlayStore. So I am giving Softpedia URL of Go Locker. Also updated in my first post.

Softpedia always produce updated version of free apps. So, just go to http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Security/Utilities/GO-Locker-130333.shtml link and click "Download" and then select "External Mirror [APK]" to download the "APK". Then you know how to install this right! ;)
