I see that some of you have already started making n test zip files.  rclxms.gif It's good to explore as you learn faster. So just to recap.
1) CWM zip is just a zip file. The important things is what is inside.
2) It comes in 2 important part in the zip - The Meta-inf and the things you wanna flash.
3) The easy one is the things you wanna flash. It have to be located in the correct folder location as your phone. Example: Systemui.apk should be in System (as a folder) -> App (as a folder) -> Systemui.apk (the file you want to flash)
4) The meta-inf is what determines the zip file does. Inside this folder you will find the following files and folder
meta-inf (as a folder) -> com (as a folder) -> google (as a folder) -> android (as a folder) -> update binary & update script (both important files)
5) Update binary is a standard file that is not of your concern. You can just rip it out from any latest zip file that you know is working
6) Update script determines what the zip file does. Basically is a script of commands. Use it to edit in PC, i recommend using Notepad++ (This is not the Notepad that comes in your PC) Google and download it, its freeware.
7) Depending on what you want to do, you need to put commands in the script and here is where any simple programming knowledge comes in. You can dissect existing update script and its not difficult to figure this out

Example of commands
CODE
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system"); --> This is for mounting, normally not required as system is mount when you enter recovery

ui_print(""); --> This is how you see text in recovery when you are flashing stuff. harmless code and just put what you want the user to see in between the double apostrophe

package_extract_dir("system", "/system"); --> This is the important command that will extract the files from your zip file to the phone. You dun need to specify to the exact folder. ("system", "/system") or ("data", "/data") will do since you dun put unnecessary files in the zip

delete("/data/dalvik-cache/system@app@SystemUI.apk@classes.dex"); --> Straightforward command used to delete files.

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/SystemUI.apk"); --> Set permission of a certain file

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system"); --> This is for unmounting

delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache"); --> Clear dalvik cache

delete_recursive("/cache"); --> Clear cache

You can google and look for more commands but for me these are sufficient to make simple flashable zip files. Commands for flashing rom especially with aroma is alot more complicated.

8) After you have all the files in place, just zip is normally on the pc. BUT make sure when you open the zip, it immediately shows the meta-inf and your folders.
Example: If you open up example_cwm.zip, you must immediately see meta-inf and your folders. If you open up example_cwm.zip and see a example_cwm folder then its wrong.
9) Sometime when you open up meta-inf you will see CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF. I still dunno what these are but zip files work as normal even without them.
10) The easiest way to do a cwm zip file without pondering into all this is to download any existing one that does the function you want and just take its updater script and put into your own zip file.

On the other matter of using vrtheme to replace png and xml files.

VRTheme utilizes a method where your own png/xml files are injected into the existing apk/framework thus there will be less chances of incompatibility. The easy way is just to download a theme that is already using this method. One of the notable one is this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183112

Here is what you will find inside the zip file
1) meta-inf this is the same. if you are recycling the zip file dun need to touch this as the script does not need altering
2) vrtheme folder

vrtheme folder
Inside here you will find 1 folder and some files. Your objective is this folder. As you are only injecting png/xml, NO apk files are included in this zip.

Example you want to modify the png in the systemui.apk. So the folder will be as follow,
vrtheme (folder) > system (folder) > app (folder) > SystemUI.apk (folder NOT apk, ensure the folder name have the ".apk") > res (folder, all these location can be found if you decompile / extract the original systemui.apk) > drawable-xhdpi (folder) > xxxx.png (the png file you want to change)

So its basically putting ONLY the png/xml you want to change into the zip file and NOT the apk.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Another good thing about vrtheme is that it makes a backup of the original apk before it injects. It can be found in /sdcard/vrtheme-backup.

well i am having another problem, as i decompile i keep seeing some 'could not decode' errors, and i decompiled many times, all with the same errors repeating itself, but all resulting in different amounts of files. meaning this error leads to missing files.

If you are only changing the xml and png, let me give you another easier method that does not require decompile - recompile.

1) Get winrar (i use winrar, maybe other similar program will work also, i dunno you have to test)
2) Get ready your png/xml that have been edited with the correct file name
3) Open the systemui.apk with winrar
4) Go to the location of the png/xml (eg drawable-xhdpi)
5) Drag your png/xml into the folder
6) Winrar will automatically replace the file with the same name.
7) Replace the apk in your phone
8) Done

Or just use vrtheme, also no decompiling/recompiling.
*
problem is i need to edit the xml file, so i guess i will have to use vrtheme then.

Yeah i know. Is the xml file visible if you open the apk with winrar? This is not smalli or baksmalli file right?

xml file visible. can't just extract and edit because it's not decoded yet. also there's a folder that only appears after decompilation but isn't in the apk when i open with winrar. rclxub.gif

Ah yes i get what you mean. The hidden files are called smalli and baksmalli. I really hate recompiling systemui, always got error one.

Try this way, decompile, edit the xml, if you fail to recompile, place it back in manually. See it works or not.  tongue.gif Make a backup first.

my problem now is, i only managed to decompile during my first time, after that every other time i try to decompile i get the error and there will be missing files.

Try clearing all old files from the apktool folder. I dunno what is the problem you facing. Try turn off antivirus also, maybe it remove some files it thinks is malicious.  tongue.gif Seriously dunno

Or maybe your apktool not up to date. Try this guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719

Its new and in the android general section, so should have less issue, plus you can forward your queries there as well.

oh this guide looks more complete and reliable, i will just follow the guide first and see how. arigato-neh. biggrin.gif
update: managed to modify systemui.apk by completely following the guide and using it without problems. only thing is, my 100% transparent status bar only works on tw, when i switch to nova launcher, it changes to around 75% transparency, not 100%. so i guess i need to modify the nova launcher apk as well. sad.gif

Hi all, currently I'm using Wanamlite V3.7 that run on Adam kernal. May I know how to add 2G&3G switch on notification panel?

if you've installed 23 toggles during wanam installation during aroma phase, you can change it through an app called AdvanceS (app already in your phone if you installed 23 toggles).

dang, found a nice semi-transparent multiwindow bar mod, but it won't work with the multiwindow control app that came with wanam. now switch back to default one first so i can use with mwc, and looks like i might as well play around with flashbarservice apk to make it work both ways.

Argh, battery life is not as good as I expected...

Seems like the kernel that came with T0lte's CM10.1 on my N7105 is locking the cores, making it all 4 cores are online and the minimum clock speed is 800MHz and it never drops below it. Surfing Facebook on WiFi gives me an average 4 minutes every 1% of battery drop. And that explains the silky smoothness of the entire UI, eliminating the input lag.

After flashing Devil's kernel and after some tweaking of the CPU hotplug, trying to imitate my near-perfection settings on my S3's sTweaks on my N7105's DevilTools on Lulzactive governor (pegasusq governor didn't have the any options for me to play with), despite having the same hotplug values, the amount of cores online is much more flexible, but still it doesn't drop down to 200MHz where the voltage is much more lower, it still fluctuates between 800MHz to 1200MHz (as I have restricted it to 2 cores online as its maximum and 1200MHz). However it was giving me better battery consumption of 7 minutes per 1% battery.

A far cry compared to my previous Wanamlite + Perseus Kernel combination. I could get 10 to 15 minutes per % of battery. In other words, a full charge could give me at least 17 hours of screen time on the lowest brightness, on 5GHz WiFi.

I'm beginning to miss TW already cry.gif
*
sifu antt00 did mention that wanam and perseus combination give the best battery life based on his experience, that's exactly what i am using now too, and i must say, i can't possibly agree more. IMO this really is by far one of the best i tried in terms of battery life, so perhaps you want to go back to that combination? tongue.gif
