[Bionic][Mod] Extended Power Menu Mod - for Stock .246

-= Extended Power Menu Mod for Bionic Stock .246 =-



Whats up peeps.. i know its been a while since ive posted any mods, i just dont have as much time to dedicate to it as i would like.. never the less, a member over at droidrzr recently sent me a request, and i realized that there are still plenty of people out there that are like myself and enjoy modding the stock builds to their liking themselves, rather than flashing a rom (obviously nothing against the rom devs.. you guys do amazing work).. so anyways thats what brought me to my latest challenge of porting the extended power menu mod to the Bionic stock .246 system.

**First of all, this is for people that atleast somewhat know what they're doing.. so if you dont, please dont just go flashing things and then act surprised by the shiny new brick you created.

**Second, you must be running Stock system, and you MUST be deodexed. (if you dont know what this means please search the forum, or reference my battery mod thread.. if you're already running one of my battery mods you should be good to go to install this mod.)

So.. if your on a stock deodexed system, just flash the zip via Bionic Bootstrapp.. you should know the drill..
-wipe cache
-install zip from sd card
-choose zip from sd card
-select zip
-reboot

Once you've installed the mod, when you hold down the power button, you will have have a "More Options" option where the "Power Off" option used to be. select "More Options" and the extended power menu will be displayed and you will have 4 options:
-Shutdown (normal shutdown)
-Reboot (normal reboot)
-Hot Reboot (this essentially simulates a battery pull, and then boots)
-Bootloader (this reboots directly into AP fastboot mode)

Heres the zip and some screenshots:

Well thats all for now kids.. if you have any questions or a request of some kind shoot me a pm.. ENJOY!!
 
Very nice work sir.

thanks man! much appreciated! it was one of those mods that gave me all kinds of hell and then when i finally got it was like "wow, really? thats all that needed to be done?" it was cause it was all .smali files that needed to be created/edited and no matter what i do .smali editing remains completely foreign to me.

Yeah...i cant even look at smali without getting a headache. Mind sharing what you edited in smali?

I needed to modify android.policy.jar.. and among the many many .smali files within android.policy.jar, there are about 10 different GlobalActionsXX.smali files, and i ended up needing to create a new one and edit a couple of the existing ones.. the nice part about it though was that i was able to get it done with just the android.policy.jar and without touching any of the framework (because all of the other systems and ROMs with the extended power menu that i was using for reference had edits to other files as well).. which i wanted to avoid, so that way it should be able to be flashed on top of any other mods people may have installed without affecting the previous mods, cause i doubt any other mods involved the android.policy.jar.. but most others do involve the framework or systemUI
