[Mods] Mods by Jewremy - v5! NOTIFICATION POWER WIDGET!!!!!

[Jewremy]

Oh boy...been working on CM7 and have had a whole bunch of other crap going on. Was forced to deodex to port over a certain something by a certain Mr. DroidJunk. ;]

Also, this is a pretty advanced mod. About 6 hours of amp-fueled work for me to do this right. If you want to kang it, I'll gladly teach you. I know we have a bunch of fledgeling devs on the Droid3.

So. Time to DEODEX - I haven't tried it on an odexed system, but the drop in performance is barely noticeable. Flash steeldroid or figure out how to deodex. The method for the DroidX with XUltimate 2.3.2 works.

v5 has this nifty thing. DroidJunk made it for the Bionic. I ported it to the Droid3, changed it to .9.pngs for the backgrounds and indicators, removed the auto-sync toggle, re-did the layout and moved the data toggle next to Bluetooth.

Honeycomb themed everything, sliding door lock screen...just flash it. You'll see.

Oh, also installs bash and nano as well.

Make a backup first, then flash in recovery.

If you can't figure out how to do that, go home.

Also added a custom loadpreinstalls.sh to keep shell root after a reboot.

Don't flash this unless you know what you're doing and are comfortable with ADB and rescuing yourself from a brick. Remember, we have an sbf to reflash the Droid3 now. You can disregard the rest of this paragraph, unless you're too lazy to download and learn moto-fastboot, in which case you have just the system dump. Seriously, go get moto-fastboot and the restore files. See that Droid 3 Android Development link above? Click it and find the thread. Worth it. It will save your...phone.

Anyway...

I pulled apart and modified framework-res to my liking

• Turned off boot sound.
• Car dock stays in portrait as opposed to not rotating at all - tried enabling dock rotation, something about blur breaks the feature and causes the dock to not launch at all.
• circle battery with numbers from UOT - uot.dakra.lt
• old-style motorola lockscreen (two sliders)
• cut animation times in half - Short 75ms, Normal 150ms, Long 300ms
• Set lockscreen to skip sliders/slidingdoor if device lock is enabled (pin lock, pattern lock, etc)
• Enabled menu key to unlock
• A few other mods that I cannot find.
• Enabled ethernet connectivity...not sure how to use it, though. My guess is that USB OTG is possible with the right cable.

Modified build.prop to enable AOSP USB notifications, set wifi scan time to 180, CDMA as default mode, increased max events and VM Heap size, couple other things that I don't remember.

Installer is an update.zip - use Droid3 bootstrapper from the market or elsewhere.

That is amazing. Kudos to you. I'm really gunning to try this since it has so many of the things I miss from my OG, but am a little nervous without a proper recovery available yet.

Awesome work Jewremy. But for some reason, it wont work for me. I was rooted the hard way, even did "su" to ask for perms, and it is still my normal stuff. Also tried to redo root with 1 click, and im rooted (says shell@solona) but i type su and root@solona ...any other advice?

Edit: I noticed it doesnt do anything after it adb shell. so i did it manually after that point.

No white glow.

What do you need to know? I decompiled framework-res.apk, modified and recompiled.

My script backs the originals up for you. Just push them back if you need.

Not sure what's going on. I'll take a look. You do need to have busybox installed, but the 1-click root did that for you. The script backs everything up for you and puts the modded files at /sdcard/modkit/, so you might as well run it manually. Here's the code to run in adb shell. You can do it from your phone, but skip the "stop" command in that case.

su
stop
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox cp /sdcard/modkit/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
busybox cp /sdcard/modkit/SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
busybox cp /sdcard/modkit/build.prop /system/build.prop
reboot

Also, make sure you don't have Mass Storage mode on. Put it in Charge only, otherwise it'll fail (can't write to SDcard if it can't see it.)

You could just use root explorer and overite the 3 files also. Worked great for me.

 

[royolpunk]

im a noob so...once i do this mod, will there be any way to go back just in case?

Bad idea. Too much can go wrong.

[royolpunk]

Okay. What do you want me to do?

No. Don't even try it. You'll have to SBF

Try to get ADB access, push your originals back. Might not be able to push to /sdcard, in which case push to /data/local then cp from there. Don't forget to chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk

 

[royolpunk]

i can't get adb access. for some reason...

 

[royolpunk]

can't get adb access..

 

[eww245]

can't get adb access..

You try BP tools xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236465

 

[royolpunk]

yeah. its bootlooping and i tried bp tools

 

[Jewremy]

I saw it the first time. No need to repeat yourself. Try the thread in the dev forum for rescuing.

 

[suzook]

People shouldnt be messing with system files until we get an sbf file, or at the very least a custom recovery. Too many things can go wrong.

There's a typo in the first line of the script
adb pull /system/framework/framwork-res.apk framework-res.orig
