This is the new lockscreen for MIUI v4 and only works with version 2.3.9 and above. It has been translated from the original to remove the Chinese characters. Place in sdcard/MIUI/theme and change with theme manager. Any issues with unlocking, press volume up and back to unlock. Original thread http://www.miui.com/thread-477053-1-1.html

I Bought the 3500mAh Extended battery for my cappy and I want to know how to properly calibrate it so My phone lasts longer. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
"Calibrating" is a myth. Only thing that would make it last longer is actually using it and maybe giving it a full cycle every once in a while. And even that I doubt its anything more than placebo effect.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick8996:
Isn't there a battery.stats in my phone? This has a certain charge that it allows? If its still stuck on my other battery's charge stats then it wont allow my extended battery to get its full charge? Am I right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
batterystat.bin is the correct file and I doubt it. If it really is that much a issue CWM can deleted it and once Android reboots it will rebuild the information, though I'm pretty sure it won't matter it should continue charging. But I do not have a bigger battery so I can't say 100%.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Batterystats.bin is what calculates what is draining your battery. It provides the data you see when you go to battery under settings. It is cleared after you unplug from a full charge. It in no way affects your battery life

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooktablet:
several months ago, my brother bought a nook tablet, he didn't know how to root it, but i did, and i rooted it by using this method

i just followed the tutorial and didn't look at the version, so i don't know was it 1.4.0 or 1.4.1. but i successfully rooted it.

that's my brother's nook tablet, not mine, he played with it a week and get bored, he returned to the store and bought an ipad

now i go to this forum and i see a lot of changes on this tablet, like "version 1.4.1 cannot be rooted", "they updated to version 1.4.2", ...

and i want to buy a nook tablet 16 GB / 1GB RAM now,

but i'm worried about after i buy it, what am i gonna do? what version is it now? will i be able to root it like what i did several months ago?

thank you

Sorry if this posted in the wrong place but whats the process for getting the deodexed apks back onto the phone? I'm running the stock ICS OTA rooted.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bananacakes:
This manual was written in order to develop more easy deodexed rom..

if you want to getting the pure deodexed ROM, You need to have a separate build process..

So i would need to re build my entire rom?

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] nikctsh:
After reading from articles , now more or less I got some idea on how to create a theme for a custom rom , but still there's something I don't know .

1) First , I extract files from a rom using 7zip . Then , I extract out the content of framework-res.apk and make some modifies / changes to those .png files . So , after completed those modifies , I just open archieve on the original framework-res.apk , drag and drop the one I modified to replace the original one ? After that , how do I pack it in .zip file that can be updated in open recovery ? .xml file shouldn't be modified right ?

2) What if I do this , I get a theme.zip made for the rom , and then I extract the contents of the theme.zip using 7zip , then again I modify the .png files and after completed , I packed it again by open archieve on the original theme.zip , drag and drop the one I modified to replace the original one ? Does this works ?

3) What if I modify other system apps such as calender.apk ? Using the same method , extract , modify , drag and drop , replace , then again how do I pack it in .zip file that can be updated in open recovery ? Is there any "bond" between those system apps and framework-res.apk ? Can I just modify anyone of both ? Or I have to modify both system apps and framework-res.apk to get it works ?

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] molohov:
Here's what I know so far. I'm still trying to learn as much as I can:

1) If you are making a theme by trying to replace pngs in an existing framework-res.apk file, you can do this: open the apk file within your zip program, and edit the apk there (so you'll have two zip windows open. Once the apk is updated, close the most recent zip window. The first zip window should recognize that you've updated the apk file, and ask you to update the first zip window.

I've been playing around with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432152

What it allows you to do is modify the files in Windows Explorer (or whatever file explorer you're using), and then let the script do the rest of the work for you. The actions it can do are: decompile apk, recompile apk, sign apk, created update.zip.

The xml files need to be edited if you want to achieve certain effects. For example, in the Gingerbread theme there are some edits that have to be made to a few xml files in order to achieve white text on black backgrounds on the popup menus. The nice thing about the framework flasher link from above is that it 'compiles' the files (meaning it will check if the .9.pngs are correct, and if your xml files point to correct assets), so you can go about doing xml edits and stuff without fear of bootlooping.

2) Yes, this should work.

3) If the updater script is a generic script (that is, it moves everything from the /system folder to /system, and /data to /data), then you can create directories in the update.zip that refer to whatever apk you want to replace, with the same structure as in Android. The cool thing about Metamorph, from what I gather, is that you can create folder structures with just the assets you want to replace, rather than the entire apk. This means that if you want to replace just a few images in Phone.apk, for example, you create a directory in the Metamorph script under /system/app/Phone/res/drawable-hdpi and add the images you want to replace in there. I think that's the way I want to create my themes from now on, I just need to figure out how to do it correctly ;)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] nikctsh:
I tried the framework flasher , after located the framework-res.apk and run RunMe , it shows echo is off , the log process shows 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Mioze7Ae:
Do you have Java installed?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] nikctsh:
No , I have no Java installed . Tried to install before but couldn't get the right version .
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
Java

I've yet to find one all inclusive theming reference. Just a lot of searching & reading & trial & error. This might be a good place to get started.

Edit: You'll also want to get the Android SDK
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] nikctsh:
BTW , since I'm still too new to theming , I'm thinking of making my first step by changing the colour of a completed theme . This is what I'm currently doing : I extracted the files content of your DarkFroyo.zip and then extracted it's framework-res.apk . ( IT'S YOUR THEME , CAN YOU GIVE ME THE PERMISSION TO DO THIS ? :p ) I'm changing the original orange colour of all those icon to light pink using photoshop , then replace the original one . The files type are .png . Also , I changed the battery status icon and status bar background . However , I haven't touch those .xml files , I just leave it there . So after I complete , do I just flash it right away in my phone or I need to doing something like "sign" ? As for now , I don't have any idea about "sign" .
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
Changing the color in Photoshop is fine for normal ".png"s but ".9.png"s are special, they have a 1 pixel border with guides that define how they are stretched to fill a space (& are only visible is a decompiled state). Just editing a .9.png in Photoshop might break the .9 patch. Since you are trying to modify my theme it might also be wise to grab the "undo.zip" so if (when) something you try bootloops the phone you can flash the undo to get back to stock. I know had numerous bootloops when I was first starting out (still do occasionally).
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] molohov:
Hey 3rdstring. I noticed you release a new version of your theme for the ODEXED version of CM6. For APKs that have ODEX files (such as Phone), are you deodexing them using apktool, then reodexing them? A brief pointer would be nice!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
No the only thing I'm changing in any of the odexed apks are images. I use a Metamorph file with ZipThemer to build the update.zip (& undo) after I've decompiled / recomfiled framework-res for the white menu text & 10% battery increments.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] molohov:
The reason I ask is b/c I tried pushing a modified Phone.apk to CM6, but it didn't pick up any of the changes I added (images only). It made me think that the assets were already prebuilt in the odex file, so changing the apk wouldn't do anything unless the odex file was changed too.

I also tried applying a metamorph script on top of the odex ROM, but it caused a lot of fcs. I think it's b/c of the ODEXing too.

EDIT: My bad. Phone.apk is the calling screen, Contacts.apk is the dialer + contacts. DOH!!! :)

My edits are pushed correctly :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hootnath:
i realised that with the great JJ's rom i have 215mb of free space in my /system which becomes about 169 after integrating the system dalvik into the partition, plus keeping room for merging future updates into the rom i guessed that 150mb of space is annexable from /system (400-250) into the /data (420+150) .

the cache partition has 101.5mb size and can be reduced to 51.5.

only that i haven't been able to get it to work like i did on my g1, and my friend's wildfire.

620mb of space in the data partition is definitely exciting.

i am thinking that it may be cuz our recovery is built into the boot/kernel.

comments n suggestions please

UPDATE: i am getting the following error in the logs

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr5411:
Man,

Changing HBOOT tables in my HTC Desire was my main motivation to go S-OFF.

But in Xperia community there is no development in area of HBOOT tables that's custom bootloaders.

Cache partition could be shrinked to 5mb.

And about 150mb of system partition could be moved to data.

So 420+95+150=665mb of data.

I'll start to dream your dream.

But devs have to leave Sony bootloader unlocking and develop custom one like alpharev.nl is doing for htc desire.

Download the CyanogenMod ROM zip again, take out and reinsert your phone battery, boot into recovery, make a nandroid backup, connect the phone to a computer and choose 'toggle USB storage', transfer the CyanogenMod zip file to SD card, install CyanogenMod again. Now see if the lockscreen is back to normal. If not, you'll have to boot back into recovery, wipe data cache & system and install CyanogenMod. This will be a fresh install, after you install it download Titanium backup from Play Store, and choose the option to restore data from nandroid backup. You can selectively restore apps and data instead of restoring the whole thing, which will reactivate the previous lockscreen setting.

Note: Your data will be safe in the nandroid backup, so worst case you can just restore it and go back to the way your phone is now and look for another solution.
