Is there a way to change the color of
the battery icon n network signal bar ??
It would be pretty cool to
have a variety of colors to change to
instead of the blue, green, etc.
Just a thought, thanks.

CWM backup n restore ???
Before you apply anything keep a backup of unmodified framework-res.apk and systemui.apk so you can just overwrite when needed. Or do Mai77's method. Submit to kitchen first without modding anything so you can have a flashable zip of the unmodified files.

I tried cwm backup ... it backed up 100% in the end it gave an error ....
Cant mount / data
I tried several times ...
Same thing
But I have noticed that in SD card there is a clockwork mod folder there in backup folder is a 400.6mb files
One is a tar file , recovery img and boot.img
Total folder size is 400.6

There should be four files inside that folder. Use skin's. Also if it says can't find sd-ext that's normal. As long as last words say backup complete you're good to go.

try cwm by madteam.. Your back up folder should contain 5 files

EDIT: I apologize for not including this earlier, but I have attached dexopt-wrapper.bin to the bottom of the post. Unzip and push it to system/bin. Then give it the correct permissions which are
Read Write Execute

I haven't seen any tutorials on how to odex an apk sooooo i thought i'd throw one up on here.
Before we begin, of course, a great big thank you to strongsteve, mpcdata and Capp5050.
Well first things first make a nandroid backup in recovery. Once thats done follow these steps.
Apps needed if doing it on the phone:
1. Rom Toolbox (I have the paid version)
(You can also just download a terminal emulator)
2.Get both Root Explorer and Astro File Manager.
3.Use Root Explorer and go to either system/app or data/app (system/app is for system files{most if not ALL of these files are already odexed} data/app is where you can find the apps you've installed from the market{!!!-I'm pretty sure the launchers are in system/app-!!!})
4.Copy the app that you want to odex into a new folder on your internal sdcard named "app"(in case you mess up you don't get problems ;D)
5.I suggest you write down the name of the app so you don't have to go back and forth if you have horrible memory like me =D.
6.Open up your terminal emulator and type
dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.apk /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.odex
7.Press enter and check that new folder you made named "app", you should see both the .apk and the .odex file.
8.Next long press the .apk file in Root Explorer and hit Open With and then select Astro File Manager. Astro should pop up with three choices, you're going to click Browse File.
9.In that file you should see "classes.dex". DELETE that file.
(NOTE: you MUST do this from within Astro because if you unzip it will break the signature and file will be usless{unless you can resign it})
10.Once done you exit Astro and head back into Root Explorer, copy the .apk and .odex files and put them back into the folder you got the original .apk from (system/app or data/app)
11.Once you put both of them in there you need to fix the permissions, simply long press on the files (one at a time ;D) and scroll down the pop-up menu to Permissions.
12.You will have three columns Read, Write and Execute along with three rows Owner, Group and Others.
Your Permissions should be (this is for both .apk and .odex)
Read Write Execute
--X----X-----------
--X----------------
--X----------------
(I've attached a picture below of what your permissions should look like)
13.Once your permissions match the above diagram hit OK and restart your phone and your app is officially ODEXED.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help with as much as i can. =D
NOTE:To Everyone: If i forgot something PLEASE let me know.
: To Mods: If this shouldn't be here please move it (if unnecessary, delete it)
Alred hit yo button but just wanted to say thank you in writing.
....um one major thing...your gonna need dexopt-wrapper script in system/bin to be able to odex within the rom
Was actually just wondering about that cause my script was in the rom already. Ill look into that in a few cause I'm going back to bed XD and you're welcome Cole I hope it has clear instructions XD

Im not sure but check to see if the app folder you created is App or app and try it however it is there

You can also try odexing it from within its originl folder
Ex. dexopt-wrapper /data/app/galleries.apk /data/app/galleries.odex and then copy the apk somewhere outside the data folder and delete the classes.dex file then put it back in the data folder and set permissions.

If I flash a zip on my phone and I don't like it or it doesn't work, is there anyway I can just remove with out reflashing
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
That is why you make a nandroid backup. You can't just undo flashing something
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Only way to uninstall zips is to plug your phone into your computer and find the zip file and hit delete but it is best to always check the ROM out before you back it up get it set up the way you like then back it up but always back up your stock ROM that way you can go back to it

That doesn't uninstall anything, it just deletes it off your sd card. Like the other guy said, Do a nandroid before you flash anything because flashes can't be undone. you can flash over it but you can't undo a flash.
That's basically what I was saying
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Not even lol. Deleting the .zip file is the file itself, it's already flashed to the phone. You could boot with no SD and still have your.zip flashed. Basically, you have to reflash the rom if you don't have a backup.

Haha that's nothing like u were saying bro lmao
@OP
Open the zip,
find the files it modifies inside system folder
Open ur roms zip file with 7z or similar
Find the needed files
Replace into zip overwriting with the originals ofc, follow the layout.
Put on SD
boot to CWM
Disable signatures
Flash zip
Clear cache/fix permissions if necessary, you haven't described what your flashing..
Reboot.
Done.
But if you don't make a backup of it and restore it's still on there?

If it ads files then yes technicly but by replacing the main files it wont be initiating only as the otigionals.. u can delete extras with a delete command in updater-script..
And yet again u didn't specify what you were "restoring"
Guess I need to be more specific lmao
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes you can remove by deleting apk just like copying apk will install (as long as it is folder you have write access to and you restart the phone).
Also keeping a copy of any apk will allow reinstall later just enable non market sources in settings use file browser select apk for install while running OS and it does not require a restart to use the app by the way). You have to use app such as titanium backup to backup your apps settings and data though.
You can also un/install using adb
Adb install blah.apk
(Google for options)
As well. Just like if you copy apks in to a ROM zip (right directories don't just drop in root; Google if needed) before flash they will also install when ROM zip is flashed (may need to re-sign but these days that usually is not required).

I flashed a battery mod for one x from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588789
but I forgot the important points that were written and flashed the zip which was meant for de-odexed roms only, on a stock rom
and I didnt make a backup at the time (sorry for being lazy - but thats how we learn I guess)
I do have an old backup, but its 2-3 days old and is a backup of clean rom
I dont want to lose the stuff I did to the phone in the 2-3 days
so i was wondering whether I could just take the original files from the backup i made and just replace them in the system folder - or maybe create a flashable zip for it - if its possible
I flashed this -
Stock HD - base 3.14.401.27/31, Graphics original artwork by Shenye
this is the last battery mod in the thread
all help appreciated
can I just restore the system partition??
Yes and wipe the cache and dalvik cache within recovery to avoid problems
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Restoring system may revert some of the things you did.
Try making a flashable zip which contains your original systemui.apk
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I didnt check - but is systemui.apk the only file that is replaced in the battery mod??
and how can I make a flashable zip?
The script replaces SystemUI.apk and adds one apk. You can get rid of it later.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
yes I checked, and there are 2 apks
i can delete the 2nd apk via root
but i dont know how to create a flashable zip
can i replace systemui.apk via root explorer??
or push it via fastboot - if so , what command should i use??
Are you saying you can boot the phone? If yes, then go ahead and do it via root explorer.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It Worked!!!
thank you very much - all help really appreciated!
I restored the systemui.apk and restarted phone - it didnt work
but then I restored systemui.odex - that time i noticed that the permissions were not right for the systemui.apk file
i changed the permissions and now everything works fine
hope this helps anyone who gets such a problem

Not because of rooting. Of-course, this can be resolved only by root option. The same problem happened to me 2 or 3 times while i install it manually from SD-card (App downloaded from other website and not from playstore).
Follow steps for installing manually from SD-card
You need
ES File Explorer
Rooted Phone
First Open ES File Explorer
On the left Tab you will see Tools
Click Root Explorer
Click One Key Install
Navigate to location of the APK file
Just click the file
***Grant permission from Super User ****
This worked for me. If it works for you too. Press Thanks :fingers-crossed:

It's pretty simple and you can find the instructions in the links provided, as far as building your own ZIP well that might require a bit more research but from what I have seen it's a bunch of static images with a short script file.
GL!
Search for boot animation factory. It will zip the animations for you and create the text file.
