Hey guys! So this mod is for all those who like Kitkat 4.4. Presenting kitkat Easter egg for any ROM on Galaxy Y. This mod will install the kitkat Easter egg on your Galaxy Y which can be seen by tapping on the Android version option in the settings.
Requirements:-
- Kitkat Easter Egg App for LDPI from here
- Java Development kit from here
- Dex2Jar convertor from here
- A root browsing tool of your choice
- Framework.jar of your rom
- Platlogoactivity.class from here
I have tried my best to make the installation easy so I hope nobody has problems installing the mod.
Installation Instruction:-
- Using your root browsing tool copy the framework.jar of your rom from the /system/framework folder and paste it in the root of your sd card
- Connect your device using usb and transfer the framework.jar to your computer.
- Extract the framework.jar using Winrar or 7zip (classes.dex is the extracted file)
- Now extract dex2jar-0.0.9.15.zip
- Rename the folder to 123 and move it to the root of your C: drive
- Now move the classes.dex to the 123 folder in the root of C: drive
- Open the setclasspath.bat in the 123 folder. It would just flash for a second and would close then so dont go on trying to open it a 100 times
- In the 123 folder, hold the shift key and press the left click button.
- You will find an option called "Open command prompt window here" select it
- A command prompt window will open with the text C:123
- In the command prompt window type the code "C:123>d2j-dex2jar.bat classes.dex"
- It would take some time and then you will see a folder called classes-dex2jar
- Open it and replace the platlogoactivity.class with the downloaded one in the folder com/android/internal/app
- After you have replaced it you now have to compile this folder back to the dex file
- Now open Command Prompt again using the same way above and type the code"C:123>path and type the path of your Java Development Kit. It would most probably be in the Java folder in the program files... For me its is C:123> path C:Program files/Java/jdk.5.0_77/bin
- Press the enter key and type the code "C:123> jar cf "classes.jar" android com javax
- Wait till the jar file is made
- After the jar file is made type the code "C:123>d2j-jar2dex.bat classes.jar"
- Now a file named classes-jar2dex.dex will be made. Rename it to classes.dex
- Open command prompt and then type the code "C:123> path (path of your java development kit as written above)
- Press the enter key and type the code "C:123> jar cf "framework.jar" classes.dex"
- Now transfer the kitkat easter egg app and the framework.jar to the root of your sd card
- Install kitkat easter egg app in your galaxy y
- Using your root browser replace the framework.jar in the /system/framework with the new one and change the permission to rw-r-r
- Reboot your device
- Go to settings>about phone>tap continuously on the android version
