How to add reboot , recovery and bootloader options in Power menu

So lets Start

Required
1-apktool
2-notepad++
3-some brains



STEP-1

Decompile Framework-res.apk

goto to res/vlaues/arrays.xml

and add these lines at the end

Code:

    <string-array name="reboot_options">
        <item>@string/reboot_normal</item>
        <item>@string/reboot_recovery</item>
        <item>@string/reboot_bootloader</item>
    </string-array>
    <string-array name="reboot_actions">
        <item>now</item>
        <item>recovery</item>
        <item>bootloader</item>
    </string-array>

now goto res/values/strings
and add these lines at the end

Code:

    <string name="reboot">Reboot</string>
    <string name="reboot_normal">Reboot</string>
    <string name="reboot_recovery">Recovery</string>
    <string name="reboot_bootloader">Bootloader</string>

goto add the ic_lock_reboot.png which i have i provided in the resources attached below this post to drawablw-hdpi folder

so before compiling the framework-res.apk follow erorcun's guide to properly recompile framework-res.apk

once recompile is done ....decompile again to get the HEX ID's

STEP-2

decompile android.policy.jar

goto classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl

and add the 3 smali's files which i provided in the resources attached below

Now option classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl\GlobalAc tions.smali

and find these lines and add the red marked lines between them

Code:

    .line 235
    iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mItems:Ljava/util/ArrayList;

    new-instance v1, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$2;

    const v2, 0x1080030

    const v3, 0x10400fa

    invoke-direct {v1, p0, v2, v3}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$2;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

    invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Ljava/util/ArrayList;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

    .line 213
    move-object/from16 v0, p0

    iget-object v1, v0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mItems:Ljava/util/ArrayList;

    new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;

    const v3, 0x1080827

    const v4, 0x104060b

    move-object/from16 v0, p0

    invoke-direct {v2, v0, v3, v4}, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;-><init>(Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;II)V

    invoke-virtual {v1, v2}, Ljava/util/ArrayList;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

    .line 260
    iget-object v0, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mItems:Ljava/util/ArrayList;

    iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions;->mAirplaneModeOn:Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$ToggleAction;

    invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Ljava/util/ArrayList;->add(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

now we need to assign the Hex id's as per ur Public.xml

NOTE: the hex id's might be different from mine and yours so be careful while comparing

new as per the above changes in GlobalActions.xml

assign the id's as below

<public type="drawable" name="ic_lock_reboot" id="0x01080827" />

Code:

 new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;

    const v3, 0x1080827

<public type="string" name="reboot" id="0x0104060b" />

Code:

new-instance v2, Lcom/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$11;

    const v3, 0x1080827

    const v4, 0x104060b

Now option up classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl\GlobalAc tions$11.smali

find and replace the following

@line 70
<public type="string" name="reboot" id="0x0104060b" />

Code:

const v3, 0x104060b

@line 90
<public type="array" name="reboot_options" id="0x0107003b" />

Code:

const v3, 0x107003b

@line 105
<public type="string" name="ok" id="0x0104000a" />

Code:

  const v2, 0x104000a

@line 147
<public type="bool" name="config_sf_slowBlur" id="0x0111000b" />

Code:

const v3, 0x111000b

now open up classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl\GlobalAc tions$11$2.smali

@line 59
<public type="array" name="reboot_actions" id="0x0107003c" />

Code:

Who is this tutorial for?

Quote:

Absolute Beginners. People with little or no programming skills. people who really want to learn how to make custom rom's people who want to learn android and don't know where to start

Tools Required : (Update them manually and report me dead links please)

Quote:

Java JDK FROM HERE OR JAVA.SUN.COM - FOR INSTALLING CYWIGN Quote: (WARNING: Do not install Cygwin before the JDK!! Cywign Direct Download- Linux Terminal For Windows Android Kitchen (ROM Development Tool)- For Cooking custom ROM and many more things, Please update this Kitchen to latest version when available. Quote: Official Link to dxda's Kitchen - Official Thread and Github source. Please refer FAQ on official thread for Kitchen related problems. Demo META-INF Folder Download- For Making Flashable zip files and comparing updater script. Custom Booting.zip - for custom boot animation notepad++ - for editing files like build.prop, updaterscript MOST IMPORTANT TOOL YOUR BRAIN... AND ALSO LOTS OF TIME... [DOWNLOAD LINK NOT AVAILABLE...lol]

Step one: Installing the JAVA JDK, Cygwin and Setting up the Kitchen.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Download and extract the cygwin_packages.zip
• Run the set up(make sure there is no previous cygwin installation)
  
  Quote:

  NOTE: INSTALL CYGWIN IN ROOT DISK LIKE C:\ Follow the kitchen read me txt!!! local package directory *must* be the path to the cygwin_packages folder that you just extracted

• when it shows all the package names, go to the top and select "all default" until it changes to "all install" (you must click on the arrows)
  
  Quote:
• Download the kitchen from above. Then, extract the kitchen's .zip file to a folder under your home account. Rename the dsixda-android-kitchen-*** folder to just "kitchen". In Cygwin, this folder would depend on what was set for your Cygwin install directory, e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen
  NOTE!! If your user folder contains spaces (e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John Smith\kitchen), then the kitchen will not function properly. Instead, copy it under C:\cygwin\home\kitchen.
• Now your ready to run the kitchen type:
  
  Quote:

  those who have their kitchen like this C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen use these commands given below. Quote: cd kitchen(enter) ./menu(enter) those who have their kitchen like this C:\cygwin\home\kitchen use these commands given below. Quote: cd ../kitchen(enter) ./menu(enter)

  Quote:

  
  

  If you did things right you should see this:

  Step Two: Setting up a working folder
  
  
  THERE ARE TOW METHODS FOR THIS.
  1. WHEN YOU HAVE BASE ROM AVAILABLE.
  2. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE BASE ROM.
  
  FIRST METHOD - 
  

  • First our folder structure should look like this:
    
    Code:

    cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen

  • Inside the kitchen it should look like this:
    
  • Now we need a rom to work on, for GALAXY ACE PLUS[s7500] users i will recommend this rom by blackburner but you can use any rom.
    Just Place the original rom zip in the original_update folder inside the kitchen.
  • run the cygwin.exe again type:
    
    Code:

    cd kitchen(enter)
    ./menu(enter)

  • now enter option 1, enter again. You should see your rom listed, choose and enter
    you will be asked about changing the working folders name, at this point it makes no difference so just continue.
  • congratulations you have a working folder!!!
    

  
  
  
  SECOND METHOD - this method is by neroyoung
  
  FIRST MAKE A WORKING FOLDER IN CYGWIN FOLDER
  

  Quote:

  IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen/WORKING_(your rom name)

  
  
  NOTE: FOR THIS MEETHOD WE NEED 3 FILES AND FOLDERS TO BE PLACED IN WORKING FOLDER.
  1. META-INF FOLDER - GET THIS FROM DOWNLOAD FILES LIST IN FIRST POST
  2. SYSTEM FOLDER - TUTORIAL BELOW
  3. BOOT.IMG - TUTORIAL BELOW
  
  
  2. getting system folder
  (NOTE - YOU MUST BE ROOTED FOR THIS MEDHOD)

  • This is universal method and can be done easily using terminal emulator.
    For this simply download Terminal Emulator from Android Market.
    we need freshly flashed device here. OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE LOT OF JUNK FILES.
  • Open it and type:
    
    Quote:

    su tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar

    This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
    This will take some time to finish so be patient.
  • After it's done you should have a tar file in your /sdcard named system.tar
    You can extract it using Winrar or 7zip software. But yes this will have huge size , as it has other useless folders so you will have to delete them. After extracting this system.tar file you will get following folders (Similar one)
    
    
    Quote:

    /etc /fonts /framework /lib /lost-found /media /sd /semc /usr /xbin build.prop And some other files and folders like ""autorooted,kernel files" etc

    
    
    Now simply delete the folders marked in red color and its done.Don't worry if you don't have folders with red colors above,we don't need them.
  • And the final files that we will have in our system folders will be
    
    
    Quote:

    /app /bin /etc /fonts /framework /lib /media /semc /usr /xbin build.prop

    
    If it dont have semc folder no need to worry.
    NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO GET THIS SYSTEM FOLDER BY USING ANY ROOT BROWSER. JUST FIND THIS FOLDER AND COPY/EXTRACT TO SDCARD
  • NOW COPY THIS system FOLDER TO WORKING FOLDER

  
  
  3. getting boot.img
  
  Here we have 2 options
  1. stock boot.img from stock rom - simple kernel which we get in brand new mobile.
  2. custom boot.img from custom kernel - kernel which are modified for overclock or other features
  
  

  Quote:

  1. getting stock boot.img from stock rom. extract your stock rom with winrar or 7zip. you will see boot.img there. copy it to working folder 2. getting custom boot.img from custom kernel. download any custom kernel which is only for your device. [galaxy ace plus [s7500] users get from here or here] extract it with winrar or 7zip and copy boot.img to working folder NOTE: many of new devices have kernel.bin and other files instead of boot.img so skip this part if your device don't have it...

  
  
• Step Three :change/modify/update rom
  
  YOU CAN MODIFY YOUR ROM IN TWO STEPS:
  

  1. MODIFY USING ANDROID KITCHEN - for basic modification.
  2. MODIFY MANUALLY. - for advanced modification.

  
  
  
  1. MODIFYING USING ANDROID KITCHEN
  

  Quote:

  watch this amazing tutorial by neroyoung on how to editing rom with kitchen NOTE: DON'T FORGET TO DEODEX YOUR ROM

  
  2. MODIFYING MANUALLY.
  
  
  FOR ALL ANDROID PHONES (ESPECIALLY FOR GINGERBREAD ROMS) USE THIS GUIDE FOR COOL MODS. like center clock,CRT animation, ics and jelly bean style mods etc... ANOTHER GUIDE BY ME
  

  • Adding/removing applications
    1. Go to the working folder where you extracted your rom, inside you will find:
     OR 
    2. Then go to "system/app" inside this folder you will find all the rom applications(apks) you may also find some in the data folder if your rom has this folder.
    3. Copy, replace, and change any app(apk) be carefull if you dont know what the apk is do not delete!!
    LIST OF APPS YOU CAN DELETE - HERE OR HERE
    If you can not find some apps in this guide then try opening all those app in your phone and see app name and icon or move those apps from system/app to sdcard and see what is not working...
  • Adding new boot animation
    android kitchen doesn't works for this in Samsung phones. So we need a different method.
    1) Download and extract the bootanimation and samsungani file from Custom Booting.zip attached in first post.
    2) Put them in the /system/bin folder and replace the existing files there
    3) Now download any boot animation, and rename the bootanimation to “sanim.zip”.
    4) Now, navigate to /system/media and replace the “ODEanim” with “sanim.zip”
    You are done with the bootanimation change
  • customizing the theme
    1. replace stock launcher with launchers like nova launcher
    2. theming using uot kitchen (fonts, status bar, batery and other icons etc
    Quote:
  • Edit the gps script for your country/location
    1. In the workingfolder/system/etc/ you will find a file named gps.conf, you can
    edit this file with notepad++ or even word.
    2. using the right gps script in this file can speed up gps lock, you can
    find some from angeldeath, download extract and replace the gps.conf.
    
  • Adding ringtones :
    
    • Take your ringtone file...it should be in .ogg format..If not then convert it to .ogg..
    • Locate to the folder system>media>audio>ringtones>
    • Copy and paste your .ogg files here in ringtones folder..
    • You can also change notifications, alarm and UI tones like this..
  • Changing the Fonts :
    
    • Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
    • Locate to the folder system>fonts>
    • Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
    • To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one..(rename first)..
  • build.prop tweaks!!
    check this or this or this post for build.prop
    NOTE: EDIT BUILD.PROP WITH NOTEPAD++. SIMPLE NOTEPAD WILL CORRUPT THE FILE.
    
  • adding mods and scripts...
    download mods and scripts from links below and copy past all files in same folder as your rom... like for init.d scripts add them to system/etc/init.d/here and all permissions in updater script to your updater script...(dont forget to give them credit for it...)

Recover A Bricked Phone

Here are some quick tips :

(Here I'll use the terms like Download-Mode & Recovery-Mode,There "BOOT to RECOVERY" & "BOOT to BOOTLOADER" means how to enter into Recovery-Mode & Download-Mode respectively.)


A Bricked Phone May Have One or More (Below Problems) :

1. Booting to the ROM(Android) not possible.
2. Booting to the Recovery-Mode not possible.
3. Black screen or Bootloop(Repeated Restarting of Phone at Boot Animation or Samsung Galaxy Y Logo).


Possible Solutions :
(Remember there'll be data loss using these solutions so always try to keep a backup)

1. If you can still enter into Recovery-Mode 
(a). Try to clear Data & Cache then check.
(b). Try Installing a Custom ROM using CWM(ClockWorkMod Recovery) & check.
(For Custom ROM & CWM Visit here.)

2. If Recovery-Mode didn't helped Enter into Download-Mode & flash an odin supported stock rom(using ODIN 1.84 or 1.85) from Doky73's Thread(Flashing Guide in 2nd post).


*You can inform me, if anything left out.
