[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] immor2al:
I have flashed it on my Note, it works well.

I in no way created this, just thought it may be worth while.

The operation of this template is based on the VillainTheme System for the ROM VillainROM.

What is Universal Flasher Tool?

is a complete template that is used to create the simplest possible way a subject flashable from recovery without the need to include or edit files. apk.

This new method uses the file system implementation metamorph (just have to put files and folders on their respective routes), with the advantage that the system identifies and injected into their applications without the need for external application. The subjects are flashed directly from recovery.

What are the advantages of this method compared to metamorph or traditional flasheables issues?

Do not include. Apk complete, only the files you want to include in the subject.

A theme created with this template is valid for any rom, even among different phone roms (the tests have been performed with SGS2 and Nexus one).

Optionally, the template can include complete files if desired, can even be used to install applications not system.

Does not depend on external applications like metamorph because it flashes directly from recovery.

Operation of the template

at the end of the post are attached a number of considerations to take into account, but basically works like this:

Identify the applications that want to thematize and checks that exist in the rom. Once the check, the system compares folders that will be introduced as well as files and injects them into the apk as long as the new file exists within the apk. This has been thought well to avoid filling an apk with files that do not belong because they are from another rom or because you made a mistake when typing the name, for example.

Once injected the files takes a zipalign the apk to optimize RAM usage.

Alternatively, if the topic includes external files or copy them to install applications on your path.

At the same time to be using the item, the system will generate a backup of changed files and automatically creates a file. Zip flashable from recovery, in case something goes wrong or do not like changes to previous state.

Finally, it also generates a small log with the outcome of the whole process is recorded in SD to verify that all changes are properly implemented.

How to create and edit your own theme

Download the template from the attachment in this post or the link below.

Recommended Tools: 7zip to include files and browse the file system (you can also use winzip or winrar without problems) and Notepad + + or any other plain text editor to edit the name of the mod.

Once downloaded, open the template double-click will observe and folders inside a file in the root. Here's that are in each folder and how to create the theme.

MOD.config file: (new from version 3.0) is an editable text file (recommend Notepad + +) where in addition to establishing the name of the MOD to set different parameters of the template.

MOD_VERSION= Name (name of the mod to be displayed in the system properties after the name of the rom. Are cautioned not to put a name too long and try to avoid as far as possible in the blanks.

CLEAN_MORPHING = not (compare the new files before injection into the apk, only enter if the file already exists. Turning the option dramatically reduces speed)

V4_MORPHING = yes (support to manage compatibility with existing folders-v4 system in some applications).

DO_BACKUP = yes (enable or disable the creation of the flashable backup from recovery to restore the existing theme).

LOG_ENABLED = yes (enable or disable the creation of a log file with the results of the process).

SCREEN_LOG = yes (shows the process of recovery on the screen or not. important notices are always shown even if the option is disabled).

Optionally, you can set a different path for memory cards (no need to touch these lines in most cases, you should not touch):

default_internal_sdcard = / EMMC

default_external_sdcard = / sdcard

Optionally, you can add special commands to mount partitions (no need to modify these lines in most cases, you should not touch):

mount_system = mount / system

mount_data = mount / data

README.txt:

Includes some additional instructions on the operation and the license. Please read before using the template to create a theme (in English). Carteta / tools: is the folder where you have placed the scripts and binary files necessary to flash the issue and make subsequent restoration. You do not need to touch anything in this folder to edit the theme. From version 3.0 has been deleted because busybox binary is no longer involved in the process. folder / META-INF folder system which includes the signature file and the script to launch from recovery. It is recommended not to touch. Folder / MORPH: This is the template folder where files should be included with the theme. In turn, the folder is divided into two subfolders called / data (for applications theming system NO) and / system (for theming system and applications framework). In the / MORPH / system / app files are included for the applications and / MORPH / system / framework for the framework files. NOTE: NO application theming system in / MORPH / data / app / myapp.apk supposed to change the digital signature, so from that time can not be updated from the market or will you installed in the market (like if it had been installed by 'other means' non-statutory ...). Therefore, we do not recommend any downloaded application thematize the market. You are advised that the complaints do not come then ... For each application you want to thematize must open a new folder called / nombre.apk (eg / Contacts.apk if you want to change the system application Contacts.apk) . It is necessary to respect the use of upper / lower case. Within each of these folders you have to respect that there are logical paths within applications, so that the files would have to place them in folders named / res / drawable, res / drawable-hdpi, etc ... It is the same structure metamorph an issue, so any item is readily convertible metamorph simply dragging folders.

No need to create any control file or anything like . The system is responsible for reviewing the folders to see what applications you want tematitar.

Folder / Xtras / system:

in this folder is where, if desired, can include files or complete applications that you wish to flash in conjunction with the subject. For example, sound files, bootanimation, scripts, complete applications, etc ... Folder / Xtras / data: in this folder is where, if desired, can not add applications to be installed system during flashing. Folder / Xtras / sdcard: in this folder you can add files to make copied to the SD card, as packs of icons, sounds, videos, etc ... to take into account considerations

Always respect the use of uppercase / lowercase letters in the names of files or folders and logical paths located within the apps.

With this system the themes may be universal, although depending on the type of files a user input may cease to be:

If you only include image files theme is compatible with any rom from any phone.

If you also include. xml may only operate in one rom, but can still work on future updates of it.

If resources are included for translations (resources.arsc) the issue would only be valid for a particular rom.

The. Zip with the issue is not necessary for you to sign flashearse, and is valid for CW-Recovery and Recorevy-RA. If you do not have to remember signing off signature checking before flashing.
