[MOD][11/24/09] Application Optimizations Now with Zipalign

I have gone through several applications from the MR release and optimized the images inside in an attempt to free up memory and/or speed things up a bit.
Some things benefited more than others, for example, Rosie.apk has lost around 7MB.
This will only work on software version 1.56.651.2. Don't know what version you have? Go into your settings -> About and scroll down to Software Version
Anyways, here's a list of things that have been optimized:
Code:
Folder: /system/app/
Browser.apk
com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk
htcContacts.apk
HTC_IME.apk
Maps.apk
Phone.apk
Rosie.apk
Settings.apk
Weather.apk
Folder: /system/framework/
com.htc.rersources.apk
Also included in the zip are the animations and boot screen from the Gutted rom
The zip is signed and can be flashed from recovery
This has been tested on the following:
Fresh 0.4b, 0.5d, 0.6
Unofficial MoDaCo 1.2

Always remember to do a nandroid backup before flashing anything

11.24.09 New with zipalign
11.23.19 (Old - non zipaligned)

Installing now... Will let you know how it goes...
Edit.... Wow this really made a noticeable difference. Running really nice on a stock rooted phone. No errors as well...

Installed on Fresh Rom. Works good no errors!

Wow! Just flashed this and it's great. Apps seem to load quicker. thanks for the work!

How are your optimizing these? Just the graphics inside them? have you tried to use zipalign from the SDK on anything?

You are correct, just the graphics, I haven't looked into any other methods yet

I just flashed this over my stock/rooted image. It does indeed load and run very fast. I was wondering what changes you made to the Settings.apk? I also did notice that the transition effects changed to a fade-in effect. Was this also the result of graphic optimizations? Either way, great work!

excellent mod. really enjoy the fading in and out and works alot quicker!

Has this been tested on the Gutted ROM?

For further optimization use zipalign on the apks. This allows dalvik to mmap the files for further speed improvements.

I like it alot but I get a ton of force close errors cant even really do anything. Installing from the orignal modaco rom.

Ok I don't know if it was this update or the 1.2 unofficial but my dialer now vibrats and I can't figure out how to shut it off.

My dialer vibrates as well, running Fresh .5d, would also like to disable it.
Looking forward to giving this a shot

The dialer started vibrating after the official firmware update from Sprint/HTC. I don't see any option under settings that allows us to disable it.

thanksa bunch I was really hoping someone would slim Rosie down a bit

i keep getting the application touch input process com.htc.android.htciem) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
EDIT
aparently i cant text anymore?! help!

To those people who are having errors, are you using this on a rom that has been updated with the Sprint Maintnance Release?

no but i never had a problem XD

By optimizing the images is there a downgrade in quality? Or is there no downside to this mod?

Thanks man. the animations are awesome. and it faster, i didnt notice a change in available memory, but i dont really care.
Thanks again!
i had removed the Browser, so this reinstalled the .apk. just had to go in and remove it again, JIC anyone has removed one of the files, just go in and remove it again.

[Mod] Black Bar - CM 5.0.6/Enomther 1.8.1/MCRr13 [04-15]

Credits
Cyanogen, Enomther, MoDaCo, JesusFreke, Stericson, Oshaka, seraph1024, and anyone else who has further android with their efforts.
What does this contain?
A modified /system/framework/framework-res.apk:
-res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background.png made to be flat black.
-res/layout/status_bar.xml hex edited for both calls to 08 00 00 1C to change 00 00 00 to FF FF FF, so notification text will appear as white.
A modified /system/framework/services.jar/classes.dex:
-com/android/server/status/StatusBarIcon.smali to make the clock text from black to white.
-com/android/server/status/StatusBarService.smali to make the date text from black to white.
Install Instructions
-Place on sdcard
-Reboot into recovery
-Make a nandroid backup
-Apply the .zip
-Reboot
Download(s)
-Flash in recovery-

Morph
-Apply with MetaMorph-
Transparent Battery Images
This will give you transparent battery images for when the phone is not charging if you do not want to have a battery image and percent when using the battery percent mod.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/transparent_battery.zip
Desire Status Bar
This will give you just the statusbar_background.9.png from the Desire ROM. People were asking for it in this thread (I think) and in my desire bar thread.
http://android-theme-minus.googlecode.com/files/Desire_Status_Bar.zip
F.A.Q.
Q. How do I get back to a stock notification bar?
A. Either apply a nandroid if you made one or reflash your ROM.
Q. Is there an easy way to tell a file used in MetaMorph from a file flashed in recovery?
A. The size will be substantially larger for a file flashed in recovery. Those files remain roughly around 3MBs. My morphs are usually much smaller and usually only a few KBs or so.
Disclaimer
Nandroid before flashing this so that if something goes wrong, or you want to go back to how your phone was before, then you easily can. Also, if it breaks something, and I don't know how to fix it, then I will say "Apply your nandroid," and if you reply with something similar to "I didn't make one for 'insert your reason for not making a nandroid here.'" Then I will tell you to wipe your phone, and take it as a lesson learned. Also, I am not responsible for any ill things that come from using this. One last thing NANDROID FIRST.

imagine your status bar black lol. its not on my phone anymore. i just tested out the file to make sure it would work then went back to my theme. this was just a request from a user and felt i would share it with other people that wanted it. also, the hero battery probably won't look good scaled up to 38x38 from 25x25. almost all of my old theme icons didn't.

Awesome theme.

I use ddms in the tools folder of the SDK.
Not really as much of a theme as it is a modified services.jar, /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/statusbar_background.9.png, and /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml.

You can also use the screenshot plugin that comes in Droid Explorer available on XDA. See my sig (or search if it's no longer in my sig).

I rarely used dark themes wallpapers, but I made my own.
It looks EFF-ing awesome!
Thanks David, Enomther, and JesusFreke!

Should work on any rooted nexus one. It over-writes your system/app and system/framework folders. Flash it in recovery.

Ah, okay rooted. Won't be doing that yet, thanks.

This is awesome David. You are truly an artist. Thanks.

Also lose reboot option when power button is pushed and notification tray is no longer clear

Yes I was a little quick to say it worked (I just really checked it booted). It borked superuser permissions app and terminal too.
I'd probably suggest we wait for certified cm5 compatible themes

CM5 beta 2 seem very tricky to theme, no luck so far.
But i am noob so the pro's may have better chance.

The reason it breaks so many things is that it is built from the template enomther provided about 2 weeks ago which doesn't have all the modifications that cyanogen added to it. I haven't installed CM beta 2 yet, but when I do (or whatever the current one is), then I will work on updating my work to it.

Gingerbread 2.3..EZ FRankenCYAN (not Affiliated with any) 2708 Radio needed

2708 kernel only!​FR-customMTD is needed for G1 of at least 94Mb system​I give to you my leaving present....it seems to be fully working,no lag and everything working..All i did was add some files,delete some,change some bits in the build.prop and in the updater script.
My phone will be gone from tomorrow so i provide no support,no updates and am not responsible for any broken phones etc etc...
The name....
Called EZ FRankenCYAN because its a bit of all their work therefore i take NO CREDIT! All i did was use bits and pieces from each of their efforts.
By the way i did it all on my Magic so big thanks to Astro File Explorer!!
I have been using this for the last couple of days and get a respectable 4.4+ linpack scores,Please enjoy as i have and as the new phones owner will.
Thanks to EzTerry, FireRat and CYANogen team.Hopefully i wont annoy anyone by putting this up!
Im now off to the Hero Section again to goodbye for now!
Usual stuff,wipe before you flash backup etc
DOWNLOAD HERE!
SIGNED DOWNLOAD
I should add that the onpy reason i have posted this is because i didnt want to feel guilty for not sharing...If i was keeping my phone i would go with Ezterry and Firerats rom as its goign to be amazingly fast and clean! I noticed when doign this that the CM coding in files seems quite dirty,as well as EZ/FR having an autoinstaller for various kernels when you flash.
Stick with the newer developers i have a feeling they will support longer than whoever takes over Cmod!
SEE POST 7 FOR FLY ANIMATION! THANKS TO JUANGIL

thanks for sharing, will give it a try
edit 1: you need to mention that FR-customMTD is needed for G1 of at least 94Mb system (thanks)
edit 2: it is indeed Fast, tested with and without compchache and I see no diff, I'll replace ADWLauncher with Launcher2 to see if still as fast as now (I dont want to say it but it feels faster than ezterry's) I even added Fly Animation and it feels faster "foreals"
edit 3: using Launcher2 now and compcache @32mb Jit on, best combination till now, first GB rom I got where LCD density changer works (130/140 looks cool!) this rom can handle the transition animation really snappy

i couldnt flash it. the zip could not be opened or something :s

Could you explain how you got the Cyanogenmod parts into this otherwise stock ROM? I would use EzTerry / Firerat's Gingerbread ROMs, but I really miss the dropdown power widget and the battery percentage. All the rest I could live without.

I am curious to try this out. I downloaded the ROM from the OP but when I went to flash it I also received an error that e:\ bad zip. Does the ROM require custom MTD as stated by Bonesy? If it does require MTD, what are your settings? Also how is the gmail issue with the ROM, does it loop or is all OK?

Thanks for the quick response. I am going to up my MTD partition size from 87 2 to your settings and give it a shot. The battery percentage isnt a showstopper for me. I will let you know how it goes after changing the settings.

And no, I did install CMparts.apk, settings.apk, and settings.provider.apk. It worked in the sense that it showed the Cyanogenmod settings and let me change them, but it didn't actually do anything. And then after reboot they disappeared.

It doesnt wok like that i used the CM7 port as the base then added in some of ezterrys parts, this file isnt signed as i made it on my magic with NO PC its a shame ive sold my magic now i would like to continue

So it would sem they uploaded bad to them,try the others...sorry

It's the fastest GingerBread I've ever seen... But There is one small bug. I'm from poland (you can see it on every my post- language problems )... I'm from Poland and I see, that keyboard layouts don't match (what I type on hardware keyboard don't match what I get. I mean this: [email protected]#$%^&*()_[];',./-=\ signs...). Is there any fix for that? And where is the "?" sign?
Bad zip is caused by wrong digest (signature) of the package. I've had the same. Sign it and it would be ok

[Mod/collection] Using UOT kitchen to mod the battery icon etc for your rom

Most recent mod on post #7
you can easily add a font (also battery and so on) to a ROM (tested only on WB's CM6 V06, but I think it should work for other ones too) by yourself:
1. just upload the framework-res.apk (lokated in system/framework) from your rom to http://uot.dakra.lt/ (under kitchen/file upload)
2. make the changes you want to have in the tab "kitchen"
3. dl the output file
4. afterwards flash it via xrecovery.
Note:
if that doesn't work for you,
1. manually mount data and and system in partition tools
2. afterwards flash the zip.
This ist the way, i, simacid and playgunsta "made" the new battery icons and font for WB's CM6.
I suggest we put our modded files here so we can all post our creations and so everyone can choose by himself what he likes, without searching the whole threats.
Note:
When making a post, please add for which rom it is and which version of it. also post a screenshot when possible and add what you have modded.
Update: seek4 just confirmed that everything is working fine for him except the power toggle widgets in notification area, so keep going and don't hesitate to post your creations.
Update2: kevjef420 noted, that if you use Amend scripting in the tab "file upload", everything works fine without mounting system and data manually. Thanks for that.
regards

So, ill start this with my "mod":
Rom: Cyanogenmod 6.1.3 V06 by Wolfbreak (don't use on other roms)
Mod: only the Battery icon (without percent, so you can choose the color with Cyanogenmod settings)
Edit: also works on hotfix V06.1 by WB (because there are no changes in framework)
Screenshot: in attachmend

I tried to use this source 3 days ago. Uploaded my framework-res.apk from WB rom, changed only battery icons, flashed my cooked framework-res.apk using xRec, nothing changed. I don't know what I did wrong, but its seems not working for me.
But I didn't do this

4. press back button
5. flash the zip file as usual
it should work then, worked for my gf's phone also

I also didn't have anything change the first time. What you need to do is in the screen where you upload your framework on the lefthand side there is 3 options that you can select. By default it has the first and last option selected but you need to select the second and third not the first one. I don't remember what they are right now since I am not near my computer.
This worked for me. I created a nice theme I will upload it here latter when I get a chance.

2. Notification background (pure black, 75% transparent)

Edit: sorry, forgott to insert the file
Edit2: also works on hotfix V06.1 by WB (because there are no changes in framework)

Thanks a lot for this topic dude!! Very usefull and nice!!

So are you saying that the transparency setting works with CM6 roms?
cause it says in the kitchen that it is for gingerbread roms only.
oh and this is the option that I checked that got my mod to work without having to make any other changes. (second option)
"Amend scripting. Old scripting, compatible with old recoveries. Use this if you having problem with flashing (no changes, error 0) or have not HTC Desire phone"
I have been using this kitchen for a few weeks now with no problems since I have started checking this option in the file upload tab.
thanks for sharing it with everyone.

No. What I did is under kitchen/status bar i ticked the background only, set the color to be fully black and choosen the transparency to be 75%. As you can see in my screenshot, it worked. Don't tick the option "Enable transparency in statusbar".
Thanks, i'll put it in my 1st post.

No. But you can upload your Eclair framework to the kitchen and mod it yourself. Make sure you have xrecovery installed to try it out.
I can't promise that it will work, because I never tried it, been on 2.2 for too long

Nope, 2.1 fw-res is too big to upload. There is a size limit on Uot. You could make one for a different Rom then dig out the icons. It's a pain but it works.

Send from my X10 CM 6.1.3 by Wolfbreak

hi,
thanks so much for this thread, it is awesome and has really helped me out!!
can someone just answer a few little things for me....
i am running wolfbreaks 6.1.3 v07, and i have tried to load a few different boot animations using the kitchen, but it never works, it just says sony erricsson?? i checked in my system/media, and there is a bootanimation.zip - do i need to specifically install it or should it automatically have done that when i installed the kitchen zip? (i had to mount system and data in xrecovery, if that means anything?)
also, is there a way similar to kitchen that i can edit the little icons that appear next to SHUT DOWN, REBOOT, AIRPLANE MODE etc? atm mine are grey, but i seen on the kitchen that they can be coloured? is the reason that they are grey due to my framework-res settings? and if so, is there a way i can change it?
thanks in advance!

[Q] Moving dialer/phone app to stock rom (SOLVED)

I've been trying to take the phone apk and dialer from one rom and move it onto a stock rooted rom. I have accomplished this but when someone calls me the phone won't play a ringtone at all. So I have to run a nandroid restore on it. Can anyone tell me how to do this please? thank you in advance

you may need dialer.apk, phone.apk and maybe contact.apk.
after you move them, set the correct permissions.
reboot.
if that doesn't work, may need to boot into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik.
alternate: you can try using titanium back up..remove those apk and then install the other apks from the myfiles

Ok. cool. But when i move them the phone starts to force close like crazy. I move them directly to /system/app/ and replacing the current apps. I didn't move just those apps tho. I also moved phone_Util.apk and PhoneSetupWizard.apk DialerTabActivity.apk and it worked but when someone would call me it wouldn't ring.
So my question is this. Do I just cut/past the ones you just described above to /system/app/ and then fix permissions ignoring FCs to rw-r-r. And reboot. Is that correct?
Thank you for your time. And quick response.

yeah..just work thru the FC's.
you can also use abd and have no fc issues.
if you are running a rom, you can make those changes to the rom before flashing...either way.
make sure you have a back up of your current set up...zen tool kit allows for a whole rom back up

Well I did it like you said worked thru the force closing and changed the permissions of all 3 apks (Contacts.apk DialerTabActivity.apk, Phone.apk)
to rw- r-- r-- is how each apk's permission were then I rebooted the phone. The volume is up and the ringtone is set. But when I call my phone from a different phone it does not ring, and at the bottom of the screen will blink Unknown between the green and red answering/ignore button on screen., even though above that. The picture for the contact calling the cell phone shows up and so do the Name as inputted into phone contacts. I don't know what i'm doing wrong, please help me out if you know what I am doing wrong. Thank you for your time

Explain to me what you are trying to do.
Which ROM are you currently running, kernel, root?, odex or deodex? Voodoo (ext4) or stock partition?
It is likely that if you are running simple root stock, with non-voodoo stock kernel, and adding a deodex apk to the mix, the stock kernel may not be able to use the deodex files. you may need to change kernel, or re-odex the apk you are trying to port. Remember, most apk's on the rooted stock has 2 file components.
You can try using the stock deodex base dman made as a base of work from there.
If you are only interested in the appearance of the rom, use 7zip and extract the png's from the apk you want and just paste it into the odex system files to get the same look.
In essence, I think you are trying to theme the stock rom or cook your own.

I used Odin to flash Option C found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Which is Deodexed / Rooted / With Entropy's Daily Driver Kernel. I don't much about the partition stuff yet. Just started to scratch that surface. But i haven't messed with it. I know I have voodoo lagfix in the RED CWM recovery and it did say something about partition when i flashed the rom I can never understand what the chick says tho. But I have not altered it from the file you can download from that thread above. Except for uninstalling a bunch of stock libs.
I am trying to to get the phone app or the dialer setup i guess you can say from the Aeon Rom 1.4 because I can't figure out how to save the Facebook sharing options. via gallery/share/facebook sharing photos and what not. So I went with the stock rom and flash the Lidroid 14 toggle mod. and removed the logsprovider.apk with the modded one found in the same thread with option c in matter of a fact.
Are you saying though that I can unzip Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk here in my PC and take the png?? and paste them to where exactly? I'm sorry I am trying to learn this stuff and It can be very frustrating at times because I am still super new to putting my own rom together. I just want the AEON rom dialer because it has that convenient message tab next to the call tab in the dialer so I want that and the phone to actually ring when someone calls me too.
Thank you for your patience qkster. I still can't believe that you have replied to my thread yourself. I have followed your posts and threads and advice for a long time. I appreciate all your hard work and what not that make ideas likes this possible. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! lol.
Thank you for your time I hope this was detailed enough for you to get the idea i'm trying to project.

you are finding out what I consider theory, execution and practice.
in theory, it should work.
execution may not result as intended
practice makes perfect
Couple of issues:
1. you're running jesse's uclb3 rooted with extras. great. it's in an odin format, not a cwm. unfortunately it's not in cwm flashable zip.
you can create one if you google how to make a cwm flashable rom from stock leak.
if you can follow a complex set of instructions, go can try it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484578
(Jesse also made this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711375
essentially the some odin option c you used. (he made that in odin for flash via download mode for borked phones)
his ethereal is essentially the same, meant to flash in RED cwm. except for his themes and sound options similar to sgs3.
the odin option c is essentially stock uclb3)
2. before you do anything, make a back up of your current desired setup with zen tool kit - so you can restore in event of boot loops.
3. have the apk with the icons you want on your pc desktop. use 7 zip. double click into the apk. go to res. go to drawable-hdpi. copies all the png. make a new temp folder on your desktop. call it what you want. paste the copied png into the temp folder and look at in windows, with thumbnail options. you will see the icons you want as it may appear in the rom.
4. pull out the apk of the rom you are running. put it on your desktop. look in it also. using 7zip, pull out the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder onto desktop. if you look in it, you will see the other png that you may no longer want. there are several ways to replace the ones you want but it's easier just to pull all the pngs you want into the drawable-hdpi on the desktop and bring the folder over into the apk or just paste them into the apk's /res/drawable-hdpi/
then flash the modded apk or push it into system
Use this for adb..it's easier to use
http://androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/517688-adb-android-commander.html
alternatively:
attached is a cwm-flashable shell...study it with 7zip. look at the updater-script. see what it does.
then put the modded apps into the /app folder and flash.
this can be use to flash framework apk/jar and/or system/app apk
test jesse's ethereal and aeon or any other. mix and match. with zen tool kit restore rom, you want play around and restore it back to where you left off
you can also try just pull the aeon apk into the shell and flash it again
remember too that each dev may have different setup or framework that may not let each apk interact correctly...until you have the right combo of files

Thank you very much qkster. I really appreciate your help on this issue. I will be studying these threads and this Android Commander and getting to learn all I can about it. I have followed your posts for awhile and believe you are a very talented developer. I for one appreciate all of your hard work on the Samsung Infuse 4g and insight and advice that you offer.
I'm not gonna just jump right into it, I like to uderstand it all first. But I will definitely be looking this over and trying to absorb it all.
You have kept me busy for probably the next week with this one. Thank You again kind sir. I will let you know in the next day or so to be more realistic as to my progress and if I encounter any problems. Too Bad You don't have a | +1,000,000 THANKS | Button.

you're welcome.
(btw, i thank you for the compliment but i'm not a dev in the true sense. i can re-using and re-applying what is already out there.)
android commander is a graphic ui for adb..easier to use. you'll see that you can pull/push apks much easier, reboot, etc..
as far as learning ...read as much as your brain can handle and google what info you need...that's how most of us picked up this stuff..gl

I used that program you posted "android commander" and extracted a custom Rom to my PC and then using Android Commander I pushed phone.apk dialertab.apk and camera.apk over to my phone and everything it's working fine. Although I had to change permissions to rxw-rxw-r-x
Instead of rw,r r. But it's all doing fine so far. Phone will ring. Camera takes pictures with the power button and I got my dialer tab wanted. Thank you again man. I appreciate you for real.

Hey qkster,
I have one more question if you don't mind. Where would i find the File that contains the png's for the notification bar/toggles? I would like to change that stuff around as well and see if I can change the colors and toggle images? Just need to know where to find the file containing those png's

look in:
systemui
settings
frameworks-res
there are several areas...
check the main xda android theme sections
make a revert or backup..once you start playing with settings, systemui and framework-res, you might experience boot loops
use the cwm-shell i posted. put the original working files in the correct location..call it revert...put the experimental files in another shell copy, and call whatever..

Hey qkster ever since I moved those files. that i posted in my last post my text messaging has been acting up. Every once in awhile. I finally narrowed it down to the problem being if the text is too long it fails to send the text message is there a way to fix this while at the same time keeping my alterations I have made to the rom?
