for those with bootloop after new theme flashes...my fix - Fascinate Themes and Apps

on the last couple superclean roms, the first theme flash was perfect...when attempting the 2nd theme flash, i would bootloop and get 1 vibrate followed by 3 more. i simply copied the android.policy.jar, framework-res.apk, sevices.jar, and twframework-res.apk in system / framework and placed them in a zip just like a theme would have them. i copied these from the superclean rom using root explorer as soon as i freshly loaded the rom for the first time. before a new theme flash, i flash this zip (that i named stocktheme.zip) then the new theme...no more bootloop this way. i guess the bootloop is caused when the themes different framework files are loaded over each other. basically, i go back to stock themed superclean between each theme flash, and its been working flawlessly for me this way. hope this can help others too.

i made the stocktheme.zip by downloading a theme for the rom (props to all themers out there) longpressing zip in root explorer, extracted all, went to extracted, deleted all files in system / framework, pasted my 4 files mentioned above, longpressed on themes folder name in extracted, chose zip this file. hope this helps others.

This sounds like EXACTLY what I am going through... I am just having a hard time following your instructions on how to fix lol

I know that if this is a consistent fix, you could package it as a zip file (specific to the ROM); - put up your fix and see if we can duplicate your efforts.

here is a link to the zip i use for myself...i am on superclean 2.6
http://db.tt/X4TmlyE

here are some easier instructions...sorry i was rushing before...
-download any theme made for superclean
- using root explorer, go to downloaded theme (zip) & longpress on it
-press extract all
-go to sd card / extracted
-longpress on theme folder & change name to stocktheme
-press on stocktheme folder
-there will be a meta-inf folder & a system folder
-press on system
-press on framework
-delete all files in framework & paste your 4 files in here
-go back to stocktheme folder (sd card / extracted)
-longpress on stocktheme folder & choose zip this folder
-that will be your new "stocktheme.zip"
-the zip will be in sd card / speed software / zip

Damn, didn't work

Thanks. Will give it a whirl when I roll back to 2.6 - currently running 2.7

im on superclean 2.6, nonvoodoo, eb01 kernel fwiw...switched between superdark / honeycomb / nitrodark with no bootloop at all when using my method...sorry something if something went wrong for you.

Only difference is I am on voodoo... I can disable and try again but it just doesn't make sense because I didn't disable originally.
It's weird man I can't even restore my VA Green theme that I backed up. Fc hell

im looking for help buddy im new to this...i obviously read how to install it and failed
if ur talking about adb I dont have a windows computer can't use adb even if I did I dont know how to use it to type in the code plus read the rest of my post I tried the other method and it didn't work...
anybody else?
[edit]
Look below for the correct way
I did this mod on mine and I am using Cognition 2.2beta 5 with 2e kernel.
The proper way to do this is, Get Root Explorer from the market. Make a backup copy of your framework-res.apk and save it to your PC in case you have a problem. Click over the link for the battery mod you want and download it directly to your phone. Then go to Root Explorer and find the download, rename it to framework-res.apk and copy and paste it over your current framework-res.apk. the framework will be located in the system folder. You will find the battery mods for cognition on a thread for stock lockscreen and battery mods in the development section of the forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799511 only use the battery mods from this thread for Cognition ROM you are running.

Connect to your computer, make sure you're in Debugging mode, and mount your SD card to copy files from your computer to your phone. Select which version of Fightspits you like, re-name it "framework-res.apk" and copy it to your phone. Make sure to unmount your SD card from your computer
Using Root Explorer (VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure the grey bar at the top says Mount R/O, if it says Mount R/W, click it) go to location /system/framework and find the file "framework-res.apk" touch it and hold until Options comes up, and select "Copy". I paste it to my External SD card in a folder I create named "Backup".
Then go back to the location that you saved your renamed Fightspit apk, copy it and paste it to /system/framework. Say yes to overwrite the existing file.
Reboot and your done
Got it?
nevermind, not correct
j101399j said:
@Riannon224; and @mcord11758
please re-read the OP's and the 1st line of my post,
You are correct IF you are running froyo and a Cog version prior to 6. However the OP and my post are not talking about Cog prior to beta 6. The update.zip does not work with Cog beta5 becasue Cog beta5 uses the recovery 3e and not the 2e; and the 3e recovery does not accept update's that are not correctly signed. Cog Beta 6 and Cog 7 uses the modified JI6 kernel and uses the 2e recovery which does accept unsigned update.zip's
My method does not require spending any money; and since the upate.zip does work on Cog6, use Rom Manager to backup your phone.
Your method will also work, and in the case of the OP so will mine. I have used Beta6 and 7 and my method works perfectly. I will say that your method it more details and the real proper way to do this, however to make it easy....
[edit] If you are running Cog 5 or Froyo and want to enable using update.zip files, flash the kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804226 it reactivates the 2e recovery, and is the same kerenl that is used in Cog 6 and 7

I have the kernel flashed with 2e recovery on my phone, I did it prior to Cognition beta 6 so I didn't need to flash beta 6 because I did the fix manually a few days before Designgears updated. This is from the mod thread, read it for yourself.

JI6 Mods
Changelog
Update 10/12:
Added Version Z / Guage indicator.
Added original android.policy.odex from JI6 for those who don't like Cog using mine as default.
Update 10/5 Again:
Added Circle battery indicators (valid for all 2.2 JI6)
Update 10/5:
Added Deodexed version to work with Cognition 2.2 Beta 2
v1 -> v2:
Fixed bug with text/missed calls allowing puzzle lock to return.
What are these?
Stock Lock
-Modifies your lock screen to re-enable the stock android lock screen.
-This INCLUDES the "disable menu button" fix (so you can't unlock with the menu button).
-This will REMOVE the current glass/puzzle lock screen, to restore glass, put your old android.policy.odex back!
Circle Battery Indicators
-This changes the battery indicator to a different theme.
-See Fightspit's thread for screenshots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778
-Your background will default to the Cognition background since that's which APK I started from. (just change it)
Make backups of your current file(s)!
How to install:
1. Download the file for the mod you want.
2. Back up your current file!!! (cp /system/framework/<file> /sdcard/<file>.bak)
3. Replace your existing file /system/framework/<file>. REMEMBER SU if necessary.
3a. Via ADB: adb push <file> /system/framework/<file>
3b. Via terminal emu: cp <file> /system/framework/<file>
3c. Via root explorer, etc. Copy paste. (easiest method if you are unsure)
5. Reboot and enjoy.
It does not matter about 2e, that is not the issue, this battery mod for Froyo is not a flashable.zip.
In the OP the link was the deodexed version which I do not believe works with an Odexed ROM and he stated and incombatabilty issue. He does not have access to ADB and I am not trying to make him spend money on Root Explorer but it is an easy way to access the root and modify framework-res.apk when adb is not an option.
Here is the version from the OP it is not for JI6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756627
How to install:
this does not work with rom manager

No just flash with Odin back to stock and then reflash your version of Cognition, I am not sure what went wrong, that is the method I used although, I had to do this process twice to get it right. I had to Odin back to stock and reflash Cognition and it worked on the second try. Post your question on the section for the mod. You used this one I hope. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799511 Make sure you copied and pasted only the framework-res.apk in the system/ data / framework.
Dude, I would just use metamorph. You can copy any paste the png files if you don't like minimalistic battery circle.

Ever since I installed this, ring tone selection crashes android system and I have to reboot. Usually happens after 2nd or 3rd selection. Amy ideas why/how to fix? Haven't checked logs yet
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks - Gremlyn1, I've included this collection in SyndicateROM "Fully Loaded".

No idea why at all, unless for some reason the files didn't copy over... have you tried flashing again? The script doesn't do anything except remove the old sound files and add the new ones.
Updated this with new FroYo sounds (some Samsung ui sounds). The .zip is not yet CWM3 compatible, that will come soon. If you have changed the TW_Battery_caution.ogg to TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak or removed it, etc., then you just need to remove that file. This zip includes a TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak already, as it got included when I pulled the sounds from my phone.
I took the liberty of updating this package.
Changes:
CWM Script now properly erases all sound files in /system/media/audio prior to copying.
Deleted Ding.ogg and Noisy_One.ogg from Ringtones as they are identical to Noises1.ogg.
Edited title tag of Noises1.ogg from Noisey One to Noisy One.

Dialpad and clicking sounds still work here. Make sure your system volume is not set to 0.
This would be awesome if it was made Edify Scrpitagible.. yes.. scriptigible. I just dropped it via root explorer into the /system/ folder
I'm a newbie to flashing with the Epic.... already bricked my wife's phone once. =)
I upgraded to EH17 using Odin and apparently that messed up all her ringtones and notification sounds. I wanted to know if there was a way I could flash this file using CWM 3.1.0.1. I get an error msg saying that amend scripting is not supported.

Take the files out with 7 zip and open a zip file (from a theme!! don't use the srf zip or any other "rom" zips they wipe data) you know works on cwm3. Make a backup and delete all the folders inside besides META-INF then take your old zip and copy the files over to the new zip, of course without the META-INF. Just to clarify you want the new zips META-INF folder only!
Cd's or tapes?
Noob here ....I' am unable to find a zip file which is not a rom file...i wanted to follow the above mentioned procedure of modifying the zip file for using it on CWM3x. Can you tell me which is teh appropriate zip file which i can use for modification so that i can restore the default ringtones of EPIC 4G.
I flashed the legendary rom and saw that many ringtones have been taken off...i want to have stock ringtones back on my system
Grab a flashable theme zip and use that.....
Just make sure inside that zip once you delete out the "theme" contents you leave the META-INF file/folder...
Then make a folder of you own in called
/system
Then inside /system make one called
/media
then inside /system/media/ make one called
/audio
Then place the appropriate folders containing either
/alarms
/notifications
/ringtones
/ui
inside that /audio directory....
Close it up and flash it...
If that is too much for you to follow... Just use this zip I'm providing below..
Blank Flashable
Just open it with WinRaR or WinZip and you will see all the folders in place exactly as I described... Place your contents in the appropriate folders and flash..
followed exactly as mentioned above, downloaded the zip file, opened it and copied the tones as suggested and flashed my phone....the tones did not turn up in the list but i ended up loosing facebook, gmail and couple of other apps !....what could have gone wrong ?

Not sure... There is nothing there in that "Blank Flashable" except for the META-INF file with your standard install scripts and then I created the folders & path to the media/audio/
Not to sure what you could have done to cause FB, GMail and others to be lost as a result of that zip file...
BTW, you did make a Nandroid Backup before flashing as normal rule of thumb correct?
FYI, any other devs, etc... willing to verify the zip I posted has nothing to do with erasing/removing those apps described by the member please feel free to do so...

[BOOT] Android Scribble Boot and Shutdown Animations

I've been using Andromeda since it was first released, but I didn't like the Armani branding in the boot and shutdown animations, so I decided to install ones of my choice. My favorite is the Android Scribble animation, the original one with green and gray color. I also used the one with orange color when I ran the themed version of andromeda 2.x for a while. Here they are in one place for easy download.
Boot Animation:
Most custom kernels support custom boot animations using a bootanimation.zip file. This is *NOT* a clockwork mod recovery flashable file, but should be renamed to bootanimation.zip and copied into /data/local/bootanimation.zip (recommended) or /system/media/bootanimation.zip. These boot animations are suitable for most custom roms, as long as the kernel supports it.
Download from Dropbox:
Android Scribble boot animation
Orange Android Scribble boot animation
Shutdown Animation:
The shutdown animation works differently. The png image files must be copied to the /system/media/video/shutdown/ directory. The following files *ARE* flashable from clockwork mod recovery. The current contents of the directory will be overwritten with the new contents. It will not be backed up and will be lost. If you wish to preserve the existing shutdown animation, you should use root explorer or another root file manager to transfer all the current contents of the /system/media/video/shutdown/ directory to a backup location.
Download from dropbox:
Android Scribble shutdown animation (CWM flashable)
Orange Android Scribble shutdown animation (CWM flashable)
I have a question or 2. If I place the bootanimation.zip in the folder you stated, will the kernel go there first or will I also have to delete the original Andromeda bootsamsumg.qmg & bootsamsumgloop.qmg files so there are no problems or boot lock-up? Also you recommended putting zip file in data/local folder. When I go there I have a data folder that is empty. I believe I will have to create the local folder then copy boot.zip into. Is this correct. I'm running Andromeda v3 with Ursa Minor 2 kernel. Thanks

Just place bootanimation.zip in one of the two directories, and then reboot. Nothing else is required. Btw, /data/local/ should be there on andromeda3, I think. I had SpeedMod kernel installed on Andromeda for a while before the new Ursa Minor kernel came out, and it may have created that directory when I installed it. If it's there, it should be an empty directory except for a sub-folder called tmp. If not, you can create it with permissions rwxrwx--x, or just use the /system/media/ directory.
The shutdown animation is a clockwork mod flashable zip file. Copy the file to your sd card, use the power menu, or any method you prefer, to boot into recovery. Ursa Minor kernel (and most custom kernels) contains ClockworkMod Recivery v2.5.1.3. Select "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" then find the "cwm-scribbleshutdown.zip" file (it's easier to find if you put it in the root of the sdcard), confirm selection and go. It will automatically install the image files into the correct directory. When it's done, go back, go back, and reboot.

[Download][Screenshot] Cutom App Drawer Button/Animation

So I did this mod a while back on my nexus 5. Took me a while and few incorrect APK's were decompiled but I got it right this time. It's simply a custom app drawer icon replacing the stock image with a custom root pirate droid image. When pressed I added a blur effect/animation. Keep in mind I am on stock 6.0.1 rooted with Xposed. Not sure if it will work on custom roms but I think it should.
Instructions:
**make a nandroid backup. I am not responsible for any loss/damages you encounter while using this mod.**
1)Download base.apk
2)move apk to data/app.
3)set permissions to rw-r-r--
4)move apk to data/app/com.google.android.goglequicksearchbox-1
5) select the option to replace/overwrite the existing file.
6) an error notification will appear saying that the Google app has stopped working
7) ignore and reboot.
8) enjoy

Also, I never got into the habit of making flashable zips outside of using zip themer which unfortunately I don't believe is compatible with MM. If anyone can make a flashable zip for this mod and can post it here please do and I can go ahead and add it to the OP.
So the directory data/app/com.google.android.goglequicksearchbox-1 is not there on Dirty Unicorns, you wouldnt happen to know where i should put it on that rom would you?? I would be willing to try it out.

That's because this is for google now launcher. Im also on DU. I'll check, but it will probably be in velvet.apk
EDIT
ok, so I'm pretty sure the stock launcher for DU is Velvet.apk. with that being said you would need go decompile it, mod the images and recompile. If you want, I can do it for you and use the DU unicorn image to theme it toward the ROM if you'd like. I can post the apk here when finished.

So I did this mod a while back on my nexus 5. Took me a while and few incorrect APK's were decompiled but I got it right this time. It's simply a custom app drawer icon replacing the stock image with a custom root pirate droid image. When pressed I added a blur effect/animation. Keep in mind I am on stock 6.0.1 rooted with Xposed. Not sure if it will work on custom roms but I think it should.
Instructions:
**make a nandroid backup. I am not responsible for any loss/damages you encounter while using this mod.**
1)Download base.apk
2)move apk to data/app.
3)set permissions to rw-r-r--
4)move apk to data/app/com.google.android.goglequicksearchbox-1
5) select the option to replace/overwrite the existing file.
6) an error notification will appear saying that the Google app has stopped working
7) ignore and reboot.
8) enjoy
