[HOW TO][Gingerbread] Adding Reboot option to Power Menu

Here is a tutorial with screenshots on how to add the reboot option to the power menu for the Defy.

This is not my work .It is a rewrite of this thread modified for use on the Defy .

For this operation you will need :

1. APK Manager

2. smali/baksmali or use the one attached .

3. Notepad++

In this tutorial we are going to modify these files :framework-res.apk,frmework.jar ,android.policy.jar .
You require knowledge of decompiling/recompiling apk and jar files ,and some basic text editing (.xml and .smali)

For this example I'm using the 4.5.1-134-DFP-132 rom ,but this should work on any Gingerbread rom ???

Ok,let's start.

1. We need to add this line to your build.prop file or the whole thing will not work :

2. Next we need to add the resources to framework-res.apk .Decompile the framework-res.apk file.
In the project folder open "framework-res.apk\res\values\strings.xml" and add your string resources .

save and close

Now open "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi" and add an image that will be shown next to the reboot string in the power menu .
Name the image "ic_lock_reboot.png".

Screenshot :



Recompile the framework-res.apk .This will create an unsignedframework-res.apk file in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder.
Decompile the unsignedframework-res.apk file and open "unsignedframework-res.apk\res\values\public.xml"
Find your image and string id's and write them down .

3. Next we need to modify Defy's shutdown method to accept 1 more option .
Decompile framework and open "com\android\internal\app\ShutdownThread.smali"

Since we are going to pass an integer to ShutdownThread and then evaluate that integer when the code runs,
we have to have a spot for the integer so add this to line 25


Screenshot :



Then at line 545 add this code before "invoke-static {}, Landroid/os/Power;->shutdown()V"


Then after this code on about line 555

invoke-static {}, Landroid/os/Power;->shutdown()V

.line 512
return-void

Add this code


Screenshot :



Save and close

Compile framework

4. Now we are going to add the extra options to the power menu

Decompile android.policy

Open "com\android\internal\policy\impl\GlobalActions.smali"

The first thing that we need to do is increase the array length by 1 so in method createDialog on line 628 change this :


To this :


Screenshot :



Now add the new menu items this is where the resource id's that we added to framework-res.apk com into play.
So on line 658 after "aput-object v1, v0, v12" add this code :


Screenshot :



Make sure to change the resource id's to match what you added to to framework-res.apk .

Save and close .

Next add the code that runs when the menu item is pressed

Copy GlobalActions$5.smali and name it GlobalActions$10.smali open GlobalActions$10 and replace all instances of GlobalActions$5
with GlobalActions$10 then add this code to line 54 before
"invoke-static {v0, v1}, Lcom/android/internal/app/ShutdownThread;->shutdown(Landroid/content/Context;Z)V"


Screenshot :



Save and close

Compile android.policy

Done.

Now you can test it on the phone.

The tools are listed above ,but here again with download locations :

1. APK Manager

2. smali/baksmali

3. Notepad++

This is what I use .Hope it helps .

Edit: edited first post

Of course it's easier ,but some of us here like to know how it is done .
Furthermore it's not just for this specific rom .I belive it can be applied to all gingerbread roms (didn't try it on all ,maybe the line numbers and resources don't match ,but the principle is the same ).

Guess the title is a bit confusing .Changing it.

I don't know if it works on Froyo roms ,but You can try it out .Be sure to make backups of your original files ,so if something goes wrong You can go back.

You dont need to decompile the JAR file .Extract the classes.dex file from the Jar and use smali to decompile it and baksmali to recompile it after editing. The automated smali/baksmali only has a decompile and recompile bat file so You dont have to use the command line.Anyways the link for the automated smali/baksmali is down .I'll attach it to the first post.

If You have framework,jar and framework.odex that means Your rom isn't deodexed .This tutorial is for a deodexed rom .You have to deodex Your rom .

There are dozens of things that can go wrong .Try putting the files one by one so that you see which file is causing the bootloop.

Which rom?
