[THEME] Ultimate Transparent to Black Magic - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

hi guys.. here's my second theme.. modified my first post..as always, this theme is not originally mine but was the combinations of all posted themes here and modifications with a touch of my likings... credits goes to all of them...
What's great about this?
1. the default Samsung Touchwiz30launcher can do landscape mode;
2. the notification bar is crystal clear if using live wallpaper but pure black if using any still wallpaper ;
3. application drawer is transparent..no teletubbies background wall for each icon;
4. using graydient battery icon;
5. USB connection icon is much cooler;
6. set homepage by setting the page with the HOME icon in which page you want;
7. and lastly, I don't have paypal and does not get a single penny for this
well.. screenshots...
Wallpaper
Requirements:
1. root access
2. JP6.. can also work with JPM.. not sure with other Froyo but this should, not guaranteed though...
3. busy box 1.17.x
4. terminal emulator
5. recovery 2e
6. ADW or LauncherPro or alike in case something happens in the process. you have a working launcher in short.
7. backup your files using titanium backup.. if you don't mind reinstalling them who cares lolz
8. guts.. no guts no glory..
Note: I am not responsible if this messed your phone but dang working with mine. Have your Odin and flash file ready just in case.
How to install (preparation of base theme):
1. Download all 4 files - update.zip (this update.zip is JP6 but works with JPM per testing), twframework-res.apk, TouchWiz30Launcher.apk, framework-res.apk
2. Place them at your SDCARD main folder/root folder
3. Go to recovery mode - flash the update.zip
4. wait to reboot - now you have a transparent black theme of scheichuwe
Note: if you like scheichuwe's theme then stop here. end of the steps.. if you like my modification then proceed with the next steps.
How to install my modifications:
1. read all the steps carefully.
2. open your terminal emulator
3. type su then hit enter
4. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.
5. type cp -f sdcard/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk system/app then hit enter
6. type rm system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.odex then hit enter
7. type sync then hit enter
8. type reboot then hit enter
9. open your terminal emulator
10. type su then hit enter
11. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.
12. type cp -f sdcard/twframework-res.apk system/framework then hit enter
13. type sync then hit enter
14. type reboot then hit enter
15. open your terminal emulator
16. type su then hit enter
17. type mount -o remount,rw / system then hit enter.
18. type cp -f sdcard/framework-res.apk system/app then hit enter
19. type sync then hit enter
20. type reboot then hit enter
Notes: if it said space is full, just do mount -o remount,rw / system again then proceed.
FAQ :
1. Can I do all the steps immediately then skip those sync reboot?
Answer : it is up to you... my experience was when I did that I end up reflashing my phone...
2. Do I do request?
Answer : unfortunately no... I apologize to Lelf and [email protected] with my first post because I don't have the time now due to a lot of time demands at work

how do you get a full transparent notification's scroll bar and backgroud of TW?
Can you provide a sys_stat_upload white? The one in your apk it's black and the download stat white

Does it support JPD? THX

yeup, open the theme and navigate to /system/app and push it with adb to /system/app.
You should also be able to use the terminal. Copy it to your sdcard and open terminal
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /system/app/Launcher.apk Launcherold.apk
rm -r /system/app/Launcher.*
cp /sdcard/Launcher.apk /system/app
reboot
if for whatever reason that causes problems reflash your rom or boot in to the recovery console and type
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /system/app/Launcherold.apk Launcher.apk
reboot
for some reason, im haveing problems trying to get it to work, anything else i can do?
just tried to boot it up... its stuck at loading screen and loading graphics keep on flashing... nothing is done.
Users be careful when installing this theme... If it does lock your phone to the boot screen. Simply take out your micro sd card then and put it in a SD Card adapter and remove the theme, and copy a working one back on and then rename it update.zip and reboot your phone to reflash it.
can you port to 4.01.1.1 or whatever cy's newest experimental is??

Juggernaunt 5.0 ROM Control Icon Change!

Anyone else not like the unicorn as the "ROM Control" icon on Juggernaut 5.0?
No offense to the creator .. unicorns just aren't my thing.
Here is a Settings.apk that changes the icon to something a little more standard looking.
Prerequisites
Root
ADB
Something to mount /system/ as writable (I use ES File Explorer)
Instructions
1. Place the attached "Settings.apk" in the folder where you have ADB setup (usually either "tools" or "platform-tools" in your SDK folder)
2. Type "cmd" in Run Dialog
3. Type cd and then type the path to the folder where you have ADB setup
Example
Code:
cd c:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/
4. On your phone, mount system as writable (IMPORTANT : Your system must be writable or you will get a read-only error in the command prompt)
5. Push the modified "Settings.apk" to the /system/app/ folder
Code:
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
You may or may not get some Force Closes after doing this - IT'S OKAY!
6. Reboot your phone - the fastest way is just type "adb reboot" since you already have the command prompt up and are in the correct directory.
Congratulations! You changed your ROM Control icon!
Lol i actually liked the old "juggernaut" icon but the unicorn looks kinda cool, lol (no homo)
Thanks for this..might need this for future reference.

[FIX] Permissions Work Around for ICS

Script to flash via CWM to fix fix perms has been done by minotauri (sorry if miss spelled will fix when on a computer) he deserves credit for the edify:
To Run Fix Perms While in Recovery Flash this file each and every time you need it run [for now]:
http://goo.gl/hrL7E
The Next Script is one you can flash via CWM and it will replace the file ROM Manager uses so this will remain between restarts and you can use it via ROM Manager or Script Manager anytime you want!:
Thank Minotauri again for another beautiful Edify!
http://goo.gl/qPpC3
Flash via CWM and it well work for that flash just flash anytime you need to run it via recovery until I see about permanently copying it over existing script or still can run manually with this guide if you choose [scroll down below the additional update on how to fix the script to run using ROM Manager while in OS!].
I posted this in a couple ROM threads and was asked to throw it out here as folks from different ROMs are all affected. I can only speak for TMobile Galaxy S2 as that is what I own, drive and work on...
I will be cleaning up the post a bit when I get time just want it posted so others can use the information add it really seems to help clean up small issues (even some report fixing multiple FCs after running fix perms this way!)
NEWEST UPDATE 2012.04.19
OK FIX FOR RUNNING FIX PERMS INSIDE OS VIA ROM MANAGER
If you adjust first line in script to #!/system/xbin/sh viola ROM Manager does not freeze [finally]
I did this with Ghost Commander [don't forget settings> check auto root] and long press fix_permissions and choose edit tapping it will have GC try to execute it.
I also moved down to set variables piece and placed 1s instead of 0s next to mount system, mount data, and remove (as in REMOVE stale data ) [should be all caps in /data/data/com.koushidutta.rommanger/files/fix_permissions
I am still working on finding a way of making those changes permanent in /sbin under recovery boots
Fix Permissions Work Around ICS
Run Fix Permissions via ADB Shell with Phone in Recovery
I have taken the time to document what should be a complete guide to running fix permissions while the phone is in the Recovery menu using adb.
I am posting the quick steps right after this, but if you scroll below that this is an extended step-by-step guide.
Code:
Running Fix Permissions
On Phone: go in to Mounts and Storage Menu from Main Menu and choose to mount /data and /system
On Computer: type adb shell
This should give you a ~# prompt
Now type "sh /sbin/fix_permissions -l -r" [without quotes]
and now you should see a bunch of text scroll by and then it will say fix permissions completed blah when done.
that's it type exit and hit enter about 3x [one will change ~# to ~$ then it will drop back to C:\blah and then one more time will close that window as well
Supplies [Phone, USB Cable and Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
Follow the link to install Android SDK [they have directions on site]
first time installing adb? [Skip otherwise]
To Add ADB to your computers path [to run it from any directory]
Windows:
Open Command Prompt [Click Start, Click Run, Type in cmd and hit Enter [XP]]
Open Command Prompt [Click Start, type cmd in whitebox and hit Enter [Vista and 7]]
type set PATH=%PATH%;C:\android-sdk\platform-tools [or wherever you put android sdk just add platform-tools to the end [it is a hidden folder]
Linux [OSX should be same]:
PATH=$PATH:/home/user/android-sdk/platform-tools [or adjust for where you saved it]
export PATH
Now That You Have ADB and path set, time for good stuff
Opening a Command Processor
Open a Command Prompt [Windows] or Terminal [Linux or OSX]
Windows: Click Start, Click Run, Type cmd and hit enter [XP]
Click Start, type in to Whitebox cmd and hit Enter [Vista and 7]
Linux: Hold alt and hit F2 on keyboard [should see a run box now]
Type in xfce4-terminal and hit Enter [or substitute your terminal command this is xubuntus]
Once a Black and White Screen Opens...
Gaining Elevated [Admin or Root Privileges]
Ok, some further testing shows me you should have root or admin access to command processor before running ADB.
In Windows
Type The Following in to the command prompt window already open...
runas /user:%computername%\administrator cmd
hit enter when done
[yes just like that including %computername% windows will fill it in with proper info copy/paste if needed right clicking in command window should paste text for you [if not right click on the icon in left hand corner of title bar choose properties and place checks in the quick edit and insert mode boxes under Options tab]
now it will ask for a password if you have not set one you need to go to control panel users and set a password on admin account before this will work
Once you enter the password and hit enter a second command window will open and will have Administrator in the title
Now You can continue on
In Linux
With Terminal window open type:
gksudo xfce4-terminal& [sub your terminal command if not using xubuntu]
once you hit enter it may take a second but you will get a password prompt enter in your password and a new terminal will open and it will have [email protected] in the title
Now you can continue on...
Checking USB Connection
type in adb devices and hit enter
[if you get a command not found you will have to use cd to move to directory with adb [ie cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools]
If it comes back with ?????? as serial number it is not connecting correctly follow the next steps otherwise skip the next bit if you didnt get all ?
I get ?????, what gives?
This seems due to not running command prompt or terminal as administrator or root user [Windows / Linux Respectively]
You will need to do the following in order
Disconnect USB from phone
On Phone: In Advanced menu choose restart recovery
On Computer: type in adb kill-server and hit enter
Reconnect USB cable
Be Sure To Follow Section above labeled: Gaining Elevated [Admin or Root Privileges] and then continue on
On Computer: type adb devices and you should see a mix of letters and numbers
and that means we are good to go on
Running Fix Permissions
On Phone: go in to Mounts and Storage Menu from Main Menu and choose to mount /data and /system
On Computer: type adb shell
This should give you a ~# prompt
Now type "sh /sbin/fix_permissions -l -r" [without quotes]
and now you should see a bunch of text scroll by and then it will say fix permissions completed blah when done.
that's it type exit and hit enter about 3x [one will change ~# to ~$ then it will drop back to C:\blah and then one more time will close that window as well

Performance Mod: Supercharger v6 update 8
Client: Xparent Green TapaTalk [latest]
Known Issues:
-------
Issue: My computer does not connect when I use adb shell [or I get ????? when I use adb devices]
Resolution:
I have found that i have to connect my phone 2x to computer to get it to work correctly most of the time, do the following
Disconnect USB from phone
In advanced menu on phone choose Restart Recovery
on computer: adb kill-server
Reconnect USB cable
on computer: adb devices
and you should now see a mix of numbers and letters and not ????? and now adb shell should connect
Issue when I try sh fix_permissions it says it can not find the file
Resolution: This is normally caused when you have not mounted /system [via phone]
or you did not use sh /sbin/fix_permissions [or be sure to do cd /sbin before sh fix_permissions
Issue: I get UID Read-only variable error and fix permissions does not run
Resolution: This is normally caused by either not mounting /system [via phone]
or not using sh fix_permissions.
Issue: Some of my apps are listed as /data/blah and it says it can not find the file
Resolution: This is normally caused by not mounting /data [via phone]
Issue: CWM will not mount /system or /data saying it can not find or read them
Resolution: I have found CWM does not like to load mounts once they are encrypted. If you have encrypted your device /system and /data are affected, try unencrypting your phone and trying again.
(this is a good thing it shows third parties tools trying to get around booting OS to read data will not be able to get at the information in your phone)

Well judging by the title that you have there referred to running the script via recovery adb to begin with.
A lot of users don't realize if fix perms says complete in 2 secs it had a problem so I didn't know of that thread, but hope this will be a catch all for fix perms and not just for those who already tried via recovery and adb shell and got that specific error.
Thanks for looking out though

I think posting this in Dev section is perfect sense. Also, thanks for the fix. This has stumped me for a while trying to figure out what to do.
When trying this, I get the message:
cat: can't open '/data/system/packages.xml': No such file or directory.
It says that twice and concludes with fix permissions ended at yada yada. I followed every command and instruction to the letter, what could be the issue?
Hey I got idea,, lets make another thread in the general section and Themes,,
Sorry don't think this belongs here, IMO
MOD,, please delete 1 of the threads,, or merge them or something,, no point in having 2
Not that I'm not happy a work around has been found!
Hopefully now the developers will figure out the source of the problem
would it be possible to bake this into a rom, or to create a CWMR zip file to make the needed changes?

Or you could have devs talk here and keep users in QA so this doesn't get flooded with chatter.
Our should we delete all those ROM threads in Dev that exist in QA as well?

Oh and other thread just ganked my fix which is cool but I did this on my own not in response to anything so seeing as how I had to put in 2 hours of actual research, scratching my head, trying many different ways and seeing as how this is more of a process then simply loading a script I wanted to maintain it here until I can edit script or another Dev does making it cleaner and easier to manage and thus ready for more casual users found in QA threads.
Sheesh, sorry I figured this out maybe next time I won't pass on the info for fear of debating where it should be posted rather than the content and how to make it better going forward.

I have instructions on that issue on post.
Did you run adb devices and get ????? unknown device?
I had to run terminal as administrator, then I issued adb kill-server and reconnected phone and then did adb devices again and then it will say starting adb blah blah blah and then I got 6f7y88 [made up it should be a series of numbers and letters and no ?]
make sure adb devices gives you a valid response and not ????? I have found I almost always have to connect phone twice and at least do the above [with regular terminal I only used admin on first run but there in case it does make a difference].
So everytime I conect [or just about] I have to connect the phone
run adb devices get ????? and then
Disconnect USB
on phone in advanced menu choose restart recovery
on computer adb kill-server
Reconnect USB
Run adb devices and get a good serial number listed
I have to do actual work for a couple hours and then will be cleaning up main post on top and adding that bit in a place it get noticed more easily bear with me as I make my boss happy [he is wondering why things aren't getting done round here now ut-oh LoL] then I will clean up the information.

Um, actually I just noted they used my solution and said it was cool to do so, it appears you have an axe to grind with me and are just nit picking anything I say. I am sorry if yoyu do not feel my work is not to the same level as other folks, but since I put in work and this is more of a manual fix you have to work at rather than an easy to use script [yet], I did not want to post it in QA and all until I have something better for general release.
Also, I am not mad, just wondering why you would rather start silly arguments over placement of usable useful information rather than helping to make said information better and more stable for release to others.
Are you mad I figured this out and posted it before you or something as I have never talked with you and given you no reason to troll my threads?
When I do have a stable script [well at least semi stable for release to dev then more stable for QA]. The way I view QA is for general users questions and answers and since I was going to work on DEVELOPING a script that does work I was holding off on a QA thread, once I do get a script together I will be releasing it. In the meantime I was hoping to have more advanced users and devs dissect my process here and give me feedback towards a full script.
ALSO, by using sh /sbin/fix_permission OR doing cd /sbin and then fix_permissions you negate any need to do any path variable adjustments BUT if you rather then here is how...
when in adb shell before anything
PATH=$PATH:/sbin
export PATH
will then make it so you can just fix_permissions regardless of where you are in directory tree [but so will sh /sbin/fix_permissions so either way is up to you]
or if you are reffereing to adb on the computer
in Windows with command prompt open
set path=%path%;C:\android-sdk\platform-tools [or adjust for where you saved adb]
so if setting a batch program you could use the following to copy/paste [just adjust directories if you saved files differently]
The following is off the cuff until I begin writing the full script and automate things but it is a very basic start
Code:
@Echo Off
Set Path=%PATH%;C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb devices
Echo If you see ????? then restart recovery and reconnect the phone
Echo and run adb kill-server and re-run this batch script
pause
Echo when you hit any key this will start adb and put you in the shell you
Echo Will have to run fix_permissions -l -r manually
Echo Be sure to mount /storage /data via phone first
adb shell
or in Linux [OSX should be similiar if not the same]:
from terminal
PATH=$PATH:/home/user/android-sdk/platform-tools [or adjust for where you saved adb
export PATH
No it just bothers me when people ignore the rules and the Developers! Raver even told you were it belonged, and you chose to ignore Raver and the rules!
The fix will be to modify recovery for use with ICS on our devices or a modified fix-permishions script baked into the ROMS

[GUIDE] MODS for Stock JB 4.2

My first post on Nexus forums..!!! This post aims to collect all mods that are working on stock 4.2 In order to use them, you need to deodex you roms. The good news is that this job was done already. I deodexed system/app folder myself and used system/framework files from bigxie's rom cause I had trouble deodexing core file in that folder. I will go through a very brief tutorial - everybody can do this!!!
You are very welcome to post links for more mods at this thread so I can add it here in order for everybody to be aware off.
=======================================================================================================
Part 1 - Pushing Deodexed Files To System
1. You must be rooted, have busy box installed and have USB Debuggind ON under Developer Options in Settings
2. Extract done_app and done_frame folders from here on your PC and copy/paste them on your SD Card
3. You need to install android-sdk on your PC and set it up. It will be installed in c:\program files or c:\program files (x86) depending on what system you have (32-64bit)
4. Once that done open command promt and taking for example you have a 64-bit system. Please note that code must be done as follows. If you can't tell if there's a space between words, copy/paste code on a notepad for you to see it more clearly
cd..
cd.. (this will bring you to c:\> line)
cd program files (x86)
cd android
cd android-sdk
cd platform-tools
adb shell (wait a second for adb to start)
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
Your rom is now deodexed!!! Note that during the procedure you must not touch your phone.
=======================================================================================================
Part 2 - Mods working on stock JB 4.2 - TESTED!
You must have CWM or TWRP recovery installed
1. Android 4.2 Quick Settings & Lockscreen Widgets Mods
2. White Navbar Mods 24dpi/28dpi/32dpi/36dpi
3. Blue Navbar Mods 24dpi/28dpi/32dpi/36dpi
4. Rotation Lock in Quick Settings / Screen Lock button to Statusbar
5. Lockscreen Policy - Disable Android 4.2 Lockscreen Widgets, Camera
Compatibility:
** 1+2 YES
** 1+3 YES
** 4 is not compatible with 1, 2 and 3 cause the framework-res.apk is different. You won't get a bootloop or anything, it's just that one mod erases the other BUT you can have only the "volume rocker wake" mod without the rotation lock. There's a link on developer's thread
** 5 is compatible with all

[Guide / MOD] Completely Remove StatusBar

So, I have been theming a few aspects of my phone (very minor), but one thing I had wanted was to completely remove the statusbar as I really wanted that extra space, and I found it was very unneeded for my frame.
I did some Googling till I found a couple of sources, and dove in. A few stressful hours later, I had no status bar, but could still use gestures from Nova / Pie to access it when I wanted to.
I am not the greatest at explaining things, but hopefully I will convey the steps on how to do this easily.
Pre-Reqs:
1) ADB installed on Computer
2) Windows
-That's what I used. I'm sure it's possible to use a Mac, but this guide is solely for Windows
3) Rooted
-Not tested on non-rooted
4) 7zip (I found it worked better than winRAR for this)
5) Download this file: http://www.speedyshare.com/n6ahB/download/resources.arsc
-This file is the file with all the measurements inside it that is taken from my Note 2
-Click the file name on the very top of the link to start the download. Tricky Ads
Because the file I edited contained very basic sizing, dpi, etc information, it should work on any custom ROM that is 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. I am currently running Team Whomps 4.1.2 ROM (V. 4.2).
The file that I edited should in no way brick your phone. Worst case scenario, it may cause boot loops. But, as always, I am not responsible for what happens to your phone if it does burst into flames, or any other negative scenario.
Steps:
Optional (Recommended): Make a nandroid backup before proceeding)
1) Boot your phone into recovery and make sure your system / root is mounted to your computer on your recovery screen
2) Connect your phone to your Windows PC
3) First, make sure it is showing up on ADB by opening up command prompt on your PC, and type "adb devices" - without quotes
-If it doesn't show up, make sure drivers, etc, are installed and don't continue until it shows up
-If it DOES show up, please continue
4) Change directories to your C drive by typing in command prompt: "cd / " without quotes, and a space in between the 'cd' and '/'
5) Now type the following commands in command prompt:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
(Once it fully transfers the ~24Mb, Continue)
adb shell
cd /system/framework/
rm framework-res.apk
Now, you have the framework-res.apk file on your computer's C Drive, and have removed it from your device. Close the command prompt.
6) Make a backup of this framework-res.apk file just in case this doesn't work for you, you can push your old framework back to your device.
7) Right click on the framework-res.apk file, and click "Open Archive"
-I don't recommend extracting it, then rebuilding it, as that caused boot loops for me. So, just open the archive so you can see the inside of the file
8) Click on the "resources.arsc" and delete it from the archive.
9) Drag the "resources.arsc" that I PROVIDED into the archive. It should give you a prompt, asking if you are sure to add it. Click Yes.
10) Exit out of 7zip. Now we need to push this file back on our device.
11) Upon up command prompt, and type the following commands:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell
cd /system/framework/
chown 0.0 framework-res.apk
chmod 0644 framework-res.apk
This sets the permissions on the apk file, and pushes it to where it is supposed to be on your device.
12) Close command prompt, and on your device wipe cache/dalvik
13) Reboot
The first time you boot, it will take a little longer than normal. It may freeze for about 5 seconds when loading apps. Just give it a minute.
If you have waited longer than 5 minutes, then reboot into recovery and "Fix Permissions" and reboot again.
If it still doesn't work, then let me know and I'll post a guide on how to modify your own "resources.arsc" file from your own "framework-res.apk" file. You will have to repeat the above steps, deleting the "framework-res.apk" file on your device, and then pushing the "framework-res.apk" file that you had backed up back onto your device. Then everything should be back to how it was.
Let me know if this helped anyone! . I know that statusbar was driving me crazy, personally.
REMEMBER, because the status bar is no longer "Click-Able" - you can't pull it down anymore. You have to use PIE / Gestures / Apps to force pull it down in order to go to your Toggles, etc.
BUGS:
The only bugs I have experienced after a day with this MOD, is that once you use PIE / Gestures / Etc to pull down the notification bar, you can no longer push it back up by flinging it. Instead, you have to hit the "Back" button. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd mention it. I think if I adjust the DPI of my screen to account for the loss of the status bar (which had a width of 25 units), it may work again.
Reserved in case I add additional information
This is very interesting, but only something I would really want with the stock rom. I'll have to do some testing then....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I personally love it.
Here is how my screen looks with no status bar on a couple apps. I like the extra space.
It would be good with auto hide! !!!
