[Android General] Lidenburg:
Finally!!

After many frustrating hours I have finally managed to make a battery mod myself!

The solution was to take the META-INF, AndroidManifest and recources.arsc from the UOT framework-res and put them in the self-made one!
[Android General] walaway:
Very very cool mate! Can't wait to see them all!

Request: theme the asus quick settings!
[Android General] :
That is very easy to do:

- decompile SystemUI.apk

- go to SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi

- all .png files in that folder, starting with 'asus' belong to the quicksettings

- edit those .png's with photoshop/gimp/paint

- recompile SystemUI.apk (more elaborate instructions available on previous pages)

- put META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the original SystemUI.apk in the newly compiled one

- zipalign SystemUI.apk

- push or flash the modded SystemUI.apk to /system/app/SystemUI.apk

Done!
[Android General] Lidenburg:
What do you mean by quick settings? Do you mean the toggles like wifi, mobile data, bluetooth and etc or do you mean the look of the toggles?
[Android General] :
The function can't be modded, the look however can.

I don't use the ASUS quicksettings but if you want to theme it, it is possible :)
[Android General] Lidenburg:
You can change the functions by going to Settings --> Asus customized setting --> Notification Panel and there you can edit what toggles are there
[Android General] :
Okay, I'm stuck again. I can't seem to get my status bar to be transparent. I can change it from black to whatever color I like, blue for example:

- Image

- Image

(Yeah, I've changed the battery icons, connection icons and notification center background with success)

I am changing the HEX colors for the status bar background in SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml and some status bar and notification center related files in SystemUI/res/layout. The HEX color for full transparency should be #00000000 (AARRGGBB format).

When I use this color, the statusbar stays black (like it is default)...

However, this happens when I activate 'Show notification bar' in Nova Prime:

20sec video, 2,2mb

So, somehow it is working, but the transparant background somehow gets replaced by a black one...

What am I missing here...

Did you use CWM for this or TWRP ? Got TWRP myself and notice its not recommended.

Padfone 2 Circular Battery Mod

Okey I made the battery mod that I made myself into a flashable .zip file so everyone can flash it

Simply put this file on the Padfone 2's internal storage and flash it, no need to wipe anything

New download: http://www.4shared.com/zip/WPssdbvD/A68-circular-battery-mod.html

Note: This will only work on firmware version WWE_A68-10.4.12.24-0

Note 2: If you're not running my deodexed ROM you will have to wipe the dalvik cache before flashing

Enjoy!

Update: Fixed bug with background being white at certain stages, now there should be no reason to use the "zozi-special" version unless you like the battery icon bigger
[Android General] sunshine333:
I get a white background to the battery icon. When it's plugged in and charging the background is black and looks normal.
[Android General] rikiau123:
works very well for me. thank you very much :good::laugh:
[Android General] Lidenburg:
That's weird... Try wiping dalvik cache and install again?
[Android General] DjBastard:
Lidenburg

Thanks for the mod ;)

Please, Could you explain me, which are steps that you have followed to create the mod??

You have used Tickle My Android 5.3

Thank you so much!!

Regards
[Android General] Lidenburg:
I partially used tickle my android. I decompiled it, recompiled it and zipaligned it with tickle my android and I changed the icons myself.

If you want to mod the battery icon yourself you can do the following:

1. Decompile the unmodified framework-res.apk

2. Delete the battery icons in /res/drawable-hdpi /res/drawable-mdpi and /res/drawable-xhdpi

3. Replace them with the battery icons you want (the icons in /res/drawable-xhdpi aren't required so I recommend not putting the new ones there to save space)

3,5. If the battery icons you added change at every 1% you will need to change the stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge located in /res/drawable, with the ones attached to this post

4. Recompile framework-res.apk

5. Put the META-INF, AndroidManifest.xml and recources.arsc from the zip attached to this post in the newly compiled framework-res.apk

5,5. I recommend you zipalign it

6. Replace the newly compiled framework-res.apk with the one that's currently on the phone by placing the new framework-res.apk in the same folder you have adb in, booting the phone into recovery, mounting the system partition and then running the following commands

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

6,5. Or you could make a flashable .zip file but that is harder and I will not cover how to do that

7. Reboot the phone

8. Profit???
[Android General] [zozi]:
I tested your mod and thanks for that, but in me i have white background... See me screen.

I wipe cache and dalvik cache and install your mod...

Strangely, after a full charge the white background problem fixed itself. I woke up this morning about to try the new version but it was now black after reaching 100%. It does look a little blurry compared to other parts of the status bar. Is that an issue on my end?

New mirror

Hi all, a create mirror for Lidenburg ROM to my server,from now you can download from my server too :)

http://dl.miui.cz/asus/A68-update-12.24-rooted-deodexed.zip
[Android General] walaway:
Cool, I'll stick this to the OP as well.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Please avoid mirroring my uploads, I will make sure that the downloads are working

Btw: I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is with the battery mod, some images must have been currupted somehow when changing their resolution. The white background problem starts at battery icons 70-80%, so I'm assuming from there and down they got corrupted when changing the resolution of them.

Edit: Updated download, look at the post containing the download for additional information + updated download link

[Android General] [zozi]:
Many thanks i Will test soon. Only change i propose is battery with 1%... But is beautyfull

What is your laucher?
[Android General] walaway:
OK guys! Now that we're polishing up the theme'ing. Soon let's have someone do system tweaks :) so it will be a real stocked based custom ROM
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Yeah! Doing system tweaks is harder though.

Btw sadly enough, I don't think the Padfone 2 will see an AOSP custom ROM for a long time if at all, making it boot and work should be easy compared to what would be required to make the display switching work, if someone manages to make that work, that person deserves all credit the Padfone community can give and a little more!
[Android General] :
Sure, a custom rom would be nice but we already got vanilla android and great software support from ASUS. Other phone owners can only dream of that. Is getting rid of a bloatware skin not the main reason for a custom rom.

What we have accomplished (your ROM in particular, Lidenburg) is already a great feat :)
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Yeah I agree with you, I love the fact that Asus just barely skinned the Padfone 2's software, the main reason for us to run an AOSP ROM like cyanogenmod, would be for the additional features it comes with, and not the AOSP look since we already have that (pretty much).
[Android General] MrCreel:
Please share it :)
[Android General] [zozi]:
Yes i agree too, if we can get that addtional features in stock rom that Will be great. But if we port to cm we can get the last Android version... And that Will be geat.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Weren't you working on porting Cyanogenmod zozi?

then installed CWM

wiped cache and dalvik cache

installed a68-update-12.24-rooted-deodexed.zip

finally installed zozi-special-battery-mod.zip

I think icon is bigger than other icons, is it normal?

Anyway, thanks for all of your effort guys!

FM Radio

I gave a try with 10.4.12.24 Lindenburg fw and noticed that there isn't FM Radio app, particularly this is a must have for me because I use it daily. How can I install it again? Or even, how can I return from Linderberg fw to stock? Should I flash it through CWM or just put it on the root of sd card and accept notification?

Thanks in advance!
[Android General] [zozi]:
I belive i cant do that.. you need the stock recovery and put the rom in internal SD-Card then acept the notification.
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
A friend of mine has a pf2 on latest fw. Can I simply take fmradio.apk from his phone and put into system/app?

Thanks for your attention.
[Android General] [zozi]:
I think you can do that... try and tell me the results ;)
[Android General] Lidenburg:
I attached the FMRadio.apk and FMRadio.odex files to this post, make sure you put them in the same folder you have adb installed

To install it boot you phone into recovery and execute the following commands

adb push FMRadio.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/FMRadio.apk
adb push FMRadio.odex /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/FMRadio.odex

Reboot you phone and you should now have the FMRadio app installed like it was never removed
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Yes you can, I didn't do it beacuse I'm not exactly what you would call "artistic" and couldn't make an icon that would represent the station well

If you want modify the stations battery icon you have to decompile the framework-res.apk, go into /res/drawable-xlarge-mdpi and change the all the "asus_ep_pad_battery" and "asus_ep_pad_battery_charge_anim" with the new battery icons.

[Android General] rafael_mfr:
My PC can't recognize A68 when into recovery (I'm using CWM), however when phone is on it recognizes properly (through "adb devices" command I can see it, that random numbers). Do I need to use stock recovery or CWM is fine?

Tried to do the commands you told me with device on but got 'permission denied' on first command:

adb push FMRadio.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/FMRadio.apk
adb push FMRadio.odex /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/FMRadio.odex

I also gave a try to put both files (FMRadio.apk and FMRadio.odex) into /system/app using Root Explorer, them modified permissions to rw-r-r (644 : Only owner can write, others can read), reboot the device but FM Radio doesn't appear.

Your fw is awesome but without FM Radio is getting me annoyed :silly:

Any ideas?

Also got your first battery icon mod from 3rd post and flashed it through CWM and now it appears to be compatible with other icons sizes.

Thanks for your help and your attention.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
@DjBastard

Make sure you typed the command before that right,

It's saying that there is no framework-res.apk To make sure that you actually have the framework-res.apk in /system/framework do

adb shell
cd /system/framework
ls

Make sure you see framework-res.apk in that list. If it is there make sure no letters are capitalized.

@rafael_mfr

Try reinstalling the Padfones drivers, you should be able to see the Padfone when it's in recovery, also make sure you're running the latest version of CWM
[Android General] DjBastard:
thanks Lidenburg

But:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

?
[Android General] Lidenburg:
You don't type adb when in shell, only type "chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk"

Don't know why you can't use cd to /system/framework

Try doing:

cd system

and then

cd framework
[Android General] DjBastard:
I do not understand why this happens?

Please as I can continue
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Me neither... have you mounted the /system partition in the recovery?
[Android General] DjBastard:
Did not know I had to mount system in recovery :silly:

I mounted system in recovery and has no error, but when you reboot, there was no battery: (

He has gone through all the steps, and before restarting, and I take a wipe cache ...

Achieved!! Win!!!!! Battery Mod by Bastard! :laugh:

Link download: http://ul.to/2y12hdnq

To apply the battery:

0. reboot into recovery and mount system

1. adb push framework-res.apk / system / framework

2. adb shell chmod 644 / system / framework / framework-res.apk

3. Wipe cache & reboot.

I'm using drivers ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20120717 (downloaded from asus support site) and CWM v6.0.2.9, still can't get recognized by ADB when into recovery mode. Tried on both computers, work (XP) and now at home (Win7 64bits) without success. ADB recognizes the phone only when turned on.

Is there any other way that I can get FM Radio working properly? a .zip flashable file or something easier enough.

I had ask Google already how to push .apk to system/app, with no luck =(

thanks in advance!
[Android General] Madcow29:
I think you can use root explorer to copy those apk files into system/app,

then change those two files permission and reboot into recovery to do wipe dalvik cache
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
I did it before without wipe dalvik cache and now I did it again doing wipe dalvik cache, reboot and FM Radio still unavailable.. damn!

anyway thanks for the tip.

Try this one, this one is deodexed. Just copy to system/app and change the permission, then reboot
