ROOT EXPLORER
- - - - - - - -
1) Open Root Explorer and navigate into data/app and find com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker-1.apk
2) Copy the .apk to your SD card
3) Open the .apk and navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi
4) Copy the two images you've chosen, overwriting the 'old' PNGs in \drawable-hdpi
5) Exit the .apk and copy it back to /data/app, overwriting the old .apk
You need to be in R/W mode.
Long click the app - Select permissions and do the checkmarks like this (* represents a checkmark)

Is there a way to disable all boot sounds ? Putting my phone in silent mode doesn't help it still plays the transformers like sound which is way to loud when u have to do it in a public location imo.
Follow these steps:
1: Install root Explorer or ES file explorer etc.
2: Navigate to /system/media or /system/media/audio (cant remember which one)
3: Mount file system as R/W
4: Delete the bootsound.ogg or rename it to bootsound.ogg.old
5: Done !

yup, something like that. actually it was so easy as long we familiar with rootexplorer things. these for more accurately step:
> navigate to /system/media using rootexplorer (don't forget to mount system as R/W)
> delete "poweron.ogg" file or backup it (usually by renamed it to poweron.ogg.bak)
> done!
> or i'd like to suggest to customize it with your own sound file that already converted n renamed as poweron.ogg n replaced or backup the original sound file. recommended to set permission as same as the original (just copy by looking the original)
Hey, Thanks for this tip, Im going to do this after I flash Cyanogen 9

I discovered this init.d Folder FIX which Fix the auto delete for files in it.
this will help alot of people who like tweaking thier devices.
YOUR DEVICE SHOULD BE ROOTED!!
Lets Start:
1.open Root Browser.
2.go to system/etc/.
3.if you have a stock rom you properly won't have the Init.d folder,so just create it.
4.change init.d permissions to "rwxr-xr-x"
5.open the folder and create a file with any name.
6.go back to system/etc.
7.open init.d agian.
8.the file still there,You are done.
Tip/s:
to make the rwxr-xr-x permission tick the following:
OWNER:read,write,execute.
GROUP:read,execute.
OTHERS:read,execute.
Hit the thanks button if i helped .
You need to be rooted and i recommend use root explorer
1) First guys make sure you have the apk or else pull it from /Root/Data/App
2) Copy that apk to your SD card and install it as a normal user app (Like a usual APK)
3) Go to /Root/Data/Data
4) Find the app then go to it and open the folder (eg. com.android.camera - Camera)
5) Go to file called "lib" in the folder (com.android.camera)
6) You may find one or multiple files in it. (eg. abcd.so ) copy it or them to your SD card
7) Uninstall the app and reboot the device
8) Take the apk from SD card and copy the apk to /Root/System
9) Select the file and change the permissions of the apk under select permissions
10) Tick all the boxes under read and only the first one under write and click ok
11) It should look like rw-r--r--
12) Then cut the Apk and pate it to /Root/System/app
13) Copy the the Lib named like. (Eg - abcd.so) to /Root/System and change the permission like you did with earlier apk but cut (Eg. abcd.so) it and paste it to /Root/System/lib
And reboot and enjoy

I don't unstand why you can install a system apps on step 2

Hi everyone
This is my first thread, so I decide to make it useful to everyone
Let's GO !
What You Want :
ES File Explorer File Manager (OR any file explorer supports zip extracting)
Rooted Phone
Nandroid Backup (You don't know how important it is)
1- enable root explorer and set permission to r/w (read & write)
2- extract the flashable zip to your memory
3- go to the existing folder
4- copy everything except META-INF folder to the root of your phone
5- "Must" show replace confirmation select confirm
6- After the copy operation is finished, reboot your device
7- Done, Congratulations
PLEAS NOTE THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE ABOUT YOUR DEVICE IF YOU BREAK IT RESTORE THE NANDROID BACKUP
note if its a new file you need to set permissions of the file
most files in app are rw-w-w however some may vary depending on what file it is
at the end of the day if you have a flashable zip its much better to flash certain things than push to system so if the flashable zip has already been made for you than you might as well use it
One doubt please

yes just push to system and set permissions - normally rw-r-r
although I dont know why you would want to do this as its always better to flash the file and since you have a flashable zip why not just flash it
Just a confuse

with root browser you can set permissions of any file - please search how
it depends what framework files you are replacing - you cant just replace with any old file from a different rom - it wont work
if its been designed for your rom or you are modding your own files then thats fine
and a flashable zip takes two secs - you dont need a pc - and iv posted a template loads of times
here is it again - just add any files you want to flash to framework in the framework folder
if you want files to go to the app folder just create a folder in system in the zip called app and put files there
same for any other folder in system

Hey all,
I'm a HUGE fan of the true stock AOSP keyboard with the long-press alternates on every key. However, it is always difficult to get it installed (or find the proper files on the web, for that matter). This tutorial is NOT for the newish Google Keyboard on the Play Store - I consider that one an inferior frakking piece of shtako. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Anyhow, here are two tutorials to install the AOSP Keyboard on the OnePlus X. First tutorial is for those people running OOS 2.2.0-X (i.e. the latest OTA). Second tutorial is for those people running OOS 2.2.0 (i.e. without the latest OTA - y'all have it easier than those of us who updated!)
Before you begin... I'd recommend performing a Nandroid backup through your recovery (TWRP/CWM/etc).
FIRST TUTORIAL - IF YOU'VE UPDATED TO OOS 2.2.0-X:
1. Download the attached AOSP Keyboard.zip file & extract to your SD card.
2. Go into your file manager & browse to Root/system/app. Look for the folder LatinImeGoogle.
3. Rename the LatinImeGoogle folder to something else. I used LatinImeGoogle-backup for safety reasons. Always leave yourself an out!
4. Change the LatinImeGoogle-backup folder permissions to r-r-r (really this is flexible - just use something other than what is currently assigned to the folder.)
5. Go back to where you extracted the AOSP Keyboard folder contents.
6. Copy libjni_latinime.so to system/lib/
7. Set libjni permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644)
8. Copy LatinIME folder to system/app/
9. Set LatinIME folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
10. Open "LatinIME" folder.
11. Set LatinIME.apk permissions to rw-r--r--(aka 644)
12. Set "lib" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
13. Open "lib" folder.
14. Set "arm" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
15. Open "arm" folder. IF there is anything in the "arm" folder, delete it. (Sometimes Android will auto add libjni_latinime.so in there. Just delete it).
16. Go back to your root /system/lib/ and scroll down to libjni_latinime.so.
17. Long press on the libjni_latinime.so file. Choose "Create symlink".
18. In the Symlink location field, choose Browse. Navigate to /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/ and Create the symlink there.
19. Go back to your root /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/. You should now see a symlink "shortcut" to libjni_latinime.so. Set the shortcuts permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644).
20. Reboot your device.
21. Celebrate with a cookie!
SECOND TUTORIAL - IF YOU'RE RUNNING OOS 2.2.0 WITHOUT THE LATEST OTA:
1. Download the attached AOSP Keyboard.zip file & extract to your SD card.
2. Copy libjni_latinime.so to system/lib/
3. Set libjni permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644)
4. Copy LatinIME folder to system/app/
5. Set LatinIME folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
6. Open "LatinIME" folder.
7. Set LatinIME.apk permissions to rw-r--r--(aka 644)
8. Set "lib" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
9. Open "lib" folder.
10. Set "arm" folder permissions to drwxr-xr-x (aka 755)
11. Open "arm" folder. IF there is anything in the "arm" folder, delete it. (Sometimes Android will auto add libjni_latinime.so in there. Just delete it).
12. Go back to your root /system/lib/ and scroll down to libjni_latinime.so.
13. Long press on the libjni_latinime.so file. Choose "Create symlink".
14. In the Symlink location field, choose Browse. Navigate to /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/ and Create the symlink there.
15. Go back to your root /system/app/LatinIME/lib/arm/. You should now see a symlink "shortcut" to libjni_latinime.so. Set the shortcuts permissions to rw-r--r-- (aka 644).
16. Reboot your device.
17. Celebrate with a brownie!
I've also tucked a txt copy of the barebones instructions into the zip file.
Feel free to ask any questions below.
Cheers,

hi equi_design
thank you very much for providing a manual for aosp keyboard. i followed you instructions and everything went through apart from changing the shortcut to 644. i could not get any access in order to change permissions. nevertheless, keyboard works without any problems so far!
btw which filemanager did you use? es explorer for example does not support the creation of symlinks (i am on version 3)
best wishes,
lukas

Glad it worked out in the end. I use Solid Explorer now. About a year ago, I gave up on ES since they were dropping & hidden files onto my SD card. I'd suggest looking around for another file manager if you can.
