Your mistake, not his. The whole OS is based on framework. If you replace the framework, system will obviuosly crash. Try adb pull method or first place the file in /system, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move the file to from /system to /system/framework and replace the old one.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] iSxy:
OOHH..Ill try it then coz i also want CRT on stock..I really have to do it..Tomorw ill try:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
first of all, the file goes to /system/framework/framework-res.apk

second of all, you probably did something wrong when modding the file. coz for me, i can replace the framework-res and set it's permissions with RootExplorer (which is an app on the phone itself) before i start getting force closes (inevitably) then i reboot and it's working fine.

i shall remind you and every one trying to do this. the steps in the guide are the same steps i did on my own phone, and it's working fine. if you dnt understand the guide and do it wrong and screw up your device, it's not my responsibility.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] iSxy:
Ik its in that framework folder..also I think I have modded some thing wrong..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] manan001:
can anyone tell me how to disable viberation when we swipe the received call
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
How did you do that? Replace the original file with the new one, and after that set the permissions? Or copy the new file to system, set permissions, and then replace the old with the new? Does this order matters?

(The responsibility is totally fine, you wrote in the first post: everyone should do this, at own risk.)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
i havent really thought of it before. i just replace the file then set permissions.

most of the time i use Android Commander or ADB. i can still set the permissions after replacing the file even if android starts force closing. with these tools you can manipulate files on the phone even in recovery mode.

even with Root Explorer it worked for me. it could be better to do it the way you described, but im too lazy to move the file twice :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
So I finally done it! I'm so happy with this!

Isn't this looks better than the stock? It's hungarian, no text, and fine date display... I like it! :D

Big-big thanks to dali47! You rocks, dude! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] iSxy:
Congratzz.!:beer::beer:..also that looks definitely Better
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] John Deere Italy:
thanks for the excellent guide.

I have a problem, when I recompile with apktoll b framework-res, it seems that everything is ok, but instead build folder there is no file present.

My hardware configuration is:

1. Windows 7 Professional x64

2. 7 u3 x86 java

How do I do?

Another request, as you can change or framework-res systemUi to put the percentage of the battery icon in the upper right corner of system tray?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
as for the the absence of the build folder, i can not offer support for apktool, i did not make it, i just use it. but i will try to help you. try doing the same process again and then copy all the text in the command prompt and paste it here so i can check if there is an error that you missed.

as for the battery percentage in the status bar, that's a whole different guide.

you can use UOT Kitchen. that's probably the easiest way
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] John Deere Italy:
I started the command prompt as administrator and typed:

c:\apktool\apktool.jar d framework-res.apk

In the workbook, apktool has created a folder called "framework-res".

I modified the files as described by the guide ​​and then from the command prompt I typed:

c:\apktool\apktool.jar b framework-res

Apktool created inside the folder framework-res folder a subfolder with called build but it is empty.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
i understand. but i need to see what happens in the command prompt to know what the error is. you can copy the text that appears and paste it here.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mcnn:
i installed ddkq8 and i did like that lock screen. but after flashing with another rom i lost that lock screen. i would like to try it again.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
Till now only DDKQ8 contains this kind of lockscreen, no other roms.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] SnowPluralism:
Noob on this matter

It´s the first time i work with this tool.

Can someone do me a step by step tuturial?

I dowloaded the stuff from the link, pulled the framework apk from system, but i cant open it ...

i am working on a general modding tutorial that will explain how to use these tools. but it will take a few days to be ready.

for now you can take a look at this thread that explains a different mod but uses the same tools and procedures. it will help you if you can understand it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] codeknight11:
Better use ApkManager instead of ApkTool. ApkManager is much more easier and convenient to use.

If dali47 doesnt mind, I will post the steps here and he can add them to OP :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
sure.. spread the knowledge. that's the goal :)

i mean to write long detailed guides, but it's not easy and im so lazy :D

as for apktool vs. apkmanager.. im no expert, i just find a tool the does the job and stick with it :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] codeknight11:
Ok, I am writing a detailed guide. It'll be ready by tommorrow. I'll first PM the guide to dali47 so that he can test the whole thing and then dali47 can add the instructions to OP if ApkManager method works.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] John Deere Italy:
In the command prompt does not appear any error
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] codeknight11:
dali47 - Check your PM. I've sent you the guide :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
well, if there is no error then i dnt think i can help you. sorry.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] torchwolfery:
stuck...

hi there Im using the APKMultitool and i can get the file decomplied even find the strings file and delete the words but after that im totaly lost...

I tried options 11 and 14 to complie the apk but i just get a error message..

so any help would be appreciated... thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] jayjaymotoq:
I extracted the .apk, but found no folder named "values" in it ? I tried Root Explorer, APK Manager & even WinRAR for the extraction of the .apk...What could be wrong ??? :confused:

The default language I 've set is "English (United Kingdom)".

(OR) Can anyone please share the modded .apk ? This method seems a bit confusing...:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
Hey, dali47! Can we change the size of the date display? What do you think? :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] codeknight11:
APK Manager method -

1) Download apkmanager and install it

2) Put your ROM's framework-res.apk in 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder.

3) Double click on 'script'

4) Ignore the 'adb not found' command and press enter

5) Type 22 i.e. 'set current project' and press enter.

6) Type 1 and press enter

7) Type 9 and press enter to decompile apk

8) Wait until the decompilation finishes.

9) Minimize command line and go to projects -> framework-res.apk\res\values\strings.xml, find lockscreen_unlock_guide_text, in that line, delete Swipe screen to unlock. Save strings.xml. Do not change anything else.

10) Switch back to command-line, type 11 and press enter.

11) After sometime you'll get a message 'is this a system apk', type y and press enter.

12) You'll get another message 'aside from......... of errors', type y and press enter.

13) Wait until you a get this message - 'In the apk manager.... this script' , dont do anything, minimize command-line, go to keep folder and delete resources.arsc

14) Switch back to command-line and press enter.

15) Wait until you the command-line comes back to its initial look.

16) Go to 'place-apk-here-for-modding' folder.

17) Open framework-res.apk and unsignedframework-res.apk using 7-zip or winrar or any other archive manager. Drag and drop resources.arsc from unsignedframework-res.apk into framework-res.apk (do not extract them, just open them using any archive manager and do the drag-drop stuff'

18) Push framework-res.apk to system/framework

PS - Make a nandroid backup before doing this. I dont have time to try this myself cuz I am very busy with school stuff. If this method doesnt work, tell me.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
i'm testing the APKMultitool way. i will add it when it's ready

read the guide bro! do not extract... you need to decompile!

i will include a flashable zip. keep an eye on the OP

you can. i didn try it my self but i can tell you what you need to do and you can try it yourself and tell us if it worked. ;)

open \framework-res\res\layout\keyguard_screen_lock.xml

find android:id="@id/date"

in that line you will find textSize="18.0sp"

that should be the value that controls the date text size

after you rebuild the apk, you will have to copy \framework-res\build\apk\res\layout\keyguard_screen_lock.xml and past it inside the original apk under \res\layout\
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
I will test the size changing method and report. Thank you, dude! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
added a flashable zip for lockscreen text removal mod. works for all languages.

if you want just the modded file, download the zip and extract it :P

i will will rewrite the guide to make it more noob-friendly :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] torchwolfery:
dude you seriously kick ass....

if i can get the multitool working it could be fun to make custom ones specially if you can change valuse like txt size for the clock and the txt... do you think its possible to change the position of the clock... was thinking how cool it could be just having nothing but the clock dead centre
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
And an other idea: I was wondering if there's any possibility to display the battery percentage on the lockscreen, even if the phone isn't charging. :confused:

I know, I ask a lot, and I really appreciate your answers and kindness. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
you're welcome guys :) the important thing is that you're learning something :)

as for your suggestions. it's probably possible. i would like to change the clock's position too. but but my knowledge is very limited at this point (im not a developer) so i dnt know how to do it right now. but i will look into it and i will share any useful information.

also if anyone can help us we would all be grateful :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
I tried it but it didn't work. :confused: What could be wrong???
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
yeah, i tried today to play with the layouts but for some reason the changes dnt take effect on the phone. i have been searching for an answer but i got nothing. im stuck :/

maybe someone with more experience could help us out
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
Thanks for your efforts, hoping to find a solution or someone will help. What you find out till now, is great! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
hey mate.. i figured out how to change the date size :p

open framework-res\res\layout\zzz_keyguard_screen_clockwidget.xml

find the line where it says id="@id/zzz_date_month"

at the beginning of that line you'll find textSize="26.0dip" and that's the date text size.

after you rebuild, replace the zzz_keyguard_screen_clockwidget.xml file in the original apk

tested it my self ;)

im gonna see what other changes i can do.

i also changed the font for the clock. you have make png files for every digit.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
Great news! Will test it on few days! Thanks! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Richard Manns:
Would it be possible to post the modified apks?

Sorry,

But I can't get this to work. I'm pretty sure I've followed the instructions. But the system fails to compile, saying that the resources are 'invalid'.

Would it be possible to post the modified APKs so that they can be simply downloaded for us noobs? Or is there a good reason why your APK wouldn't work on other phones?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
there is a flashable zip attached at the end of the opening post. you can flash it with CWM. or if you want to put the modded file manually, you can extract the flashable zip, you'll find the apk inside.

if you're using DDQK8 it should work
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] blueink9:
Thanks for the tutorial.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] kmarci:
Great new look! Can't wait it! :D I like the font either, it's more cute than the stock one. Congrats, dude! Thanks for your work.

(In my dreams the battery percentage is always on the lockscreen... :D If you can find it, it would be great. I searched it, but didn't find... :()
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] jayjaymotoq:
Your "flashable .zip file" worked flawlessly for me...Now my lockscreen looks simply awesome...Thanks Dude...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] toinktoink:
i can't seem to recompile the apk, always getting an error, tried using apktool if framework-res.apk, and still unable to compile, decompiling works btw
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
is it something like this?

aapt: warning: string 'zzz_smart_unlock_sorry_text' has no default translation i
n C:\Users\dali\Desktop\Nouveau\v5\framework-re\res; found: et_EE ga_IE is_IS kk
_KZ mk_MK

if it is, it's not a problem, your file will work anyway.

if it's a different error, copy it and paste it here maybe i can help.

to copy text from the command prompt : Right click, click Select All, hit Enter
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] toinktoink:
nope, it's something related to aapt. i did have that error a while back while playing with miui apks, and i fixed that by updating android sdk. this time, i dont know how to solve this. :(

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] amrith.28:
hi. just wondering if this is possible -

the screen turns on when i receive a message (if using stock mms.apk and not any third party app like go sms or anything)

is it possible to NOT TURN ON the screen on receiving the message ? (well most of us use BLN anyway)

this way, when i wake the phone(by pressing home or power button) the Notification would already be there on the lockscreen ? and u can swipe to it right away? ;)

will editing the permissions of the Mms.apk (the wake lock permission maybe ?? ) help in anyway ?

PS- has anyone understood me ? :P or was this question a waste ? :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] b1choO:
thanks for the guide, nice work.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] dali47:
it could be possible, but from what i know there is no available solution yet.

yeah i got what you mean (mostly) :D

well, what we did here is simply changing the look of the lockscreen, which is relatively easy.

what you're asking for is a little bit more complicated.

(im only replying so you dnt feel like your question was ignored :p )
