[MOD] Skip music tracks with Volume buttons (JB 4.1.2)

[shaftenberg]

Finally!! After thousands of boot loops I got it working. There are several .diff's for implementing this mod in android.policy.jar, but what I forgot: this works only on a completely deodexed ROM and mine was only half deodexed. It is possible to run deodexed and odexed system apk's side by side, but you must not(!) run a deodexed framework with odexed apk's - this was my learning curve

Summary: If you are on a fully deodexed 4.1.2 JB ROM (I am on 91.2.26001 Retail.en.EU), simply copy the android.policy.jar to /system/framework, set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE, just in case!!

If you want to incorporate this into your ROM (Omar?), I attached the needed smali's too.
If you are on an odexed ROM, here is a short help to deodex yourself:

Enjoy skipping music tracks in your pocket by long pressing volume without turning your screen on!

UPDATE: added CWM package for easy flashing.

Installed it right away! It works awesomely well on my phone I'm using PIlama 0.6.

If you keep on modding the stock rom like this we won't need to port CM. At least I'm not missing it

Keep on your great work. My Razr I is now as fun as my Nexus S had been before

Too many.
There are some tutorials here at XDA, just search. The thing is, you have to adapt the variables, that's a little bit research though.

Easiest way would be: Extract original android.policy.jar and compare it to my mod, then you'll see the differences.

The only problem that has to samsung and wanted to carry the Razr HD XT925 and compare when there is a big difference in the lines.
more okay, no problem.

Not sure I understand what you mean...

Just try it: Take your own PhoneWindowManager.smali and compare it to my mod, that was the way I did it in addition to read several different How-To's.

This flash will work on my 982.50.20.xt890.brasil.en.br without problems? I miss this function badly...

 

[shaftenberg]

Is your system deodexed? Then you may try it, but do a Nandroid backup before, so that you can roll back easily.
If it works, tell us, if not, tell us

But deodexed system is mandatory!

 

[MalarKeY007]

Hummm, I saw on Link2SD and the system Apps are all odexed. Then no go for me I think.

 

[Lucki_X]

You can deodexed your system alone.

Could you or anyone else post a deodexed original android policy.jar for this phone? Mattigrofs rom is no later downloadable.

I ended up downloading an old version of the omar ROM that didn't have this mod done to it.
