[MOD][TUTORIAL][GB]Xperia Go Lockscreen for Xperia MDPI(UPD: Mod your settings.apk)

Sudanminipro · Oct 2, 2012

This is the Lockscreen ported from Xperia Go. Tested and works very well with my XMP on HaSa ROM based on GB 2.3.7

Reported to be working with GB 2.3.4 too.

Download links updated with android.policy.jar modded to include skip track on long press volume button. down-previous track, up-next track.

WARNING:

I'm Not Responsible if you brick your phone or your phone gets stuck in a bootloop

FEATURES:

Very similar to the lockscreen ported from Xperia S to MDPI devices on ICS
1. Message and missed call notifications
2. Ability to change wallpaper of the lockscreen
3. Lockscreen music controls (without album art)
4. Lockscreen doesn't distort when in landscape mode

BUGS:

1. Gmail notifications aren't shown on the lockscreen

2. Lockscreen wallpaper isn't shown in landscape mode, no music controls in landscape. All in all nothing works in Lanscape as of now, I'l see if I can do something about it. But the good news is lockscreen doesn't get distorted. So you can still unlock the screen

TUTORIAL- MOD your own framework-res and android-policy.jar to get Xperia Go lockscreen

NOTE: Only for people familiar with decoding and other modding stuff. I recommend others to use the file provided above

Code:
1)ANDROID.POLICY.JAR (/system/framework/android.policy.jar)

a)Download This http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59977570/XperiaGo-Androidpolicy.rar
b)DECOMPILE your android.policy.jar
c)Copy the files from the downloaded RAR (above) to the decompiled folder /policy and RECOMPILE. Thats it.

2)FRAMEWORK-RES.APK (/system/framework/framework-res.apk)

a)DECOMPILE your framework-res.apk
b)Add this line to the AndroidManifest

Code:

<permission android:label="@string/permlab_external_lockscreen" android:name="com.sonyericsson.permission.EXTERNAL_LOCKSCREEN" android:protectionLevel="signatureOrSystem" android:description="@string/permdesc_external_lockscreen" />

c)Add these lines to the end of the strings.xml (/res/values/strings.xml)

Code:

<string name="permlab_external_lockscreen">You May Write Anything Here</string> <string name="permdesc_external_lockscreen"> You May Write Anything Here </string>

d)Add these to the end of string names in public.xml (/res/values/public.xml)

Code:

<public type="string" name="permlab_external_lockscreen" id="0x0104051b" /> <public type="string" name="permdesc_external_lockscreen" id="0x0104051c" />

0x0104051b,0x0104051c<<<< hex codes should be written in a way as a continuation of the codes that was above

Landscape bugs were not much of a surprise considering no 2012 Xperia has a keyboard.

Thanks dude, looking forward for an ICS version.

mobilephone01 · Aug 17, 2012 at 4:00 AM

Very nice.
Please make ICS version.

ICS version can be made only when Xperia Go gets an ICS update

. Until then you can use AeonWorld's port of Xperia S lockscreen.

Yup. But atleast lockscreen doesn't get distorted. So we can still unlock

AeonWorld's mod does not work SK17i.
I tried many times but always bootloop.

If your ROM is odex, you can do the following:
Flash mod 1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27256913. It will deodex your system files.

Then flash deodex version of AeonWorld's lockscreen.

Personally I like these 'numbers' battery icons. You can always change battery icons using 'tickle my android' tool or even UOT Kitchen.. If I get more requests, I might make one mod with stock battery icons

@Sudanminipro,

Awesome work! However I have a big request

Could you tell or give a small tutorial what you've modified in framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar? My files are already a little bit modified and i don't want to lose any of my modifications.

Thank you for your advice.
Now it's working. Thank you.

After flash the Home mod or Lock screen mod.
Many application stop to work.
How can I stop to this happen?

If my post helped in any way please press THANKS button instead of typing 'Thank you':silly:

Some apps like Titanium Backup do FC when framework-res gets changed. Just re-install the apps

If you still have problems with some specific mods please post in their respective threads:good:

hey, i was thinking about porting the whole GB Rom of Go for our devices...

Possible.. Most of the apps work as it is with our devices.. Some do need porting.. Radio, gallery, settings... Etc.. Takes some work.. I have absolutely no idea on how to port incompatible system apps between devices
