Advice
- I strongly advice you to disable any lagfixes when upgrade to new roms or install new kernels.
- Always flash rom with FULLY charged battery!
- Make backup of efs-folder (with Root Explorer or ADB)
- Do NOT restore system data, if you upgrade from 2.1 (Eclair)
- Do not factory reset phone if you have removed any apps from the base rom.
If you want to factory reset, flash the base rom before again if you made any changes
- If you do a factory reset after install: lancher pro, sgs tools. gallery etc will be deleted.
Download
This Rom it is installed in three parts, the first being the principal and other optional updates, I recommend installing the complete package.
MOD EDIT: ROM Removed for Plagiarism of Doc Froyo XXJPA, including cope-paste of release notes
Install Instructions - Post 2

Install Instructions
1. Download the three Zip Files and put it on your internal sdcard.
2. Download clockworkmod recovery from here. You need Clockworkmod, this won’t work with stock recovery.
3. Rename the clockworkmod recovery file to “update.zip” and put it on your internal sdcard.
4. If you had Voodoo installed prior to installing this ROM (eclair or froyo), make sure you still have the "disable lagfix" folder inside "/sdcard/Voodoo".
5. Shutdown phone, wait for it to power down, then boot the phone into recovery mode (press volume up, keep it pressed, then press home button, keep it pressed, then press power button, keep it pressed until you see the Galaxy S screen. Release all three buttons when you see it).
6. Select “apply sdcard:update.zip” (use volume rocker to move up and down, and home button to select). Clockworkmod recovery will boot now (you may have to do apply update.zip twice for Clockworkmod to show up).
7. Once in Clockworkmod, select “install zip from sdcard” (use volume rocker to move up and down and the back button to select).
8. Select “choose zip from sdcard” and then select the 1- Racpu_FROYO.iPhoneStyle.V1.zip. Choose yes then.
9. The update will start (will take some 5 minutes) and during the flashing you will see some strange big characters on the screen, don’t worry, that’s normal. After the process finishes, you will be dropped back into Clockworkmod recovery. From there, choose go back, and then reboot phone.
11. The first boot will take some time as the ROM will deodex.
12. After the phone boots up, shutdown phone again, and then boot into recovery, and install the 2- Racpu_Medium_Pack.zip, waiting to install and go back e reboot phone.
13. After starting, let's back to recovery and install the latest zip, 3- Racpu_Full_Pack.zip.
14. After the phone boots up, shutdown phone again, and then boot into recovery. The phone will boot DIRECTLY into Clockworkmod. From there, select a "advanced ULK features", then "Lagfix options". You can select any of the lagfix schemes. I recommend NO-RFS advanced EXT4.
15. You can also enable some startup tweaks from the "Tweak options" menu.

You more or less stole the whole thing, even copied the text.

This like the 8 or 9 "rom" that's based on the 7.6, new kernel, theme and its NEW custom rom.
Please try more before posting new rom. Start with a theme and learn a bit more.

Do we really need these full ROMs which are just themed versions of Doc's mod?

Why didnt you just make a theme for docs rom?...
For me; this is not an interesting ROM since the only difference seems to be that it makes my Android look like iOS, and that's the last thing I'd like.. But thats me.

Updated ScreenShoots...

All this is a mixture of various things from other people claiming this as your own work, like the modded launcher from my miui rom.

You can't just take something Doc and Webstart spent a lot of time doing, just put it together and name it a new ROM. In fact I see no changes what so ever compared to their work.

[THEME] Hybrid's theme for JVH (tested on Darky 10.1)

This is my mod, don't change the phone on the wall but adds some really cool things
It's only tested for Darky Rom, try on another rom (modifying Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk with yours)
Hybrid's mod
Only For Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and Darky Rom 10.1
In the video I explain how you can install that (in description) and what I've changed.
Video and mod are mine, so you can me answer me everything, I make it for me and you guys
Mod changes:
-Lockscreen bars, now are slim and empty, transparent.
-animations, now you can have a new kind of animation called "fly". You can see it when the lockscreen disappears, when i open the configuration menu or I choose a submenu, and when a window appear that looks like it comes from the back of the screen.
-notification bar now is transparent for 10%, the cam doesn't allow to see perfectly.
Instructions to install
-Download this zip file, at this link
-copy hybrids_mod.zip into your Galaxy s, on the root folder or where you want
-reboot your phone in recovery (just choose recovery from the shutdown menu)
-choose install zip from sd card and select the zip file

It has been absolutely tested by me, I use it on my Galaxy since 3 july and I've never had problem

[CM7] Tweaks Guide and Transparent Theme

Hi there,
Edit (2012-May-17): added flashable zips for TouchWiz style Calendar and semi-trans MMS.apk-no smiley. Details here: Calendar, MMS - please read before flashing.
- - -
I had some free time during the past holidays and I've put together the following. It's no dev work here and it is simply and basically -zipper's work like Epsylon3 would call it - and something to remind myself -and to share with you all- on what are most of my current tweaks on the December 13th Defy+ nightly that I'm currently using.
I was also surprised to see oldtimers here on XDA still asking the same old questions regarding how to replace system files and how to set their files permissions. So I figured, why not use what I've put together and make this a good practice session for that and to get people familiarized with all this? The more people in the know; the better it is for everyone -right?
So here's what I hope could be called a 'CM7 tweak guide' and as an added bonus, I've also included a (transparent) theme that I've spent quite some time modding.
Heads up warnings:
- The transparent statusbar tweak and the ICS screen animations are nightly specific and won't work on any other CM7 builds.
-> I've used post #2 below to make a guide on how to do this on any CM7 build... And see the aknowlegments section for the ICS screen animation patcher from DaxInfinty to get the transitions on other CM7 builds.
- Furthermore: the Dec13th Defy+ nightly is mainly FOR RED LENS/DEFY+ USE ONLY as the camera will not work for green lens phones.
- I've chosen this specific Defy+ nightly because there are still problems with all the newer ones (up to cm72-120109.2049-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip here) regarding inverted picture in camera that cannot be fixed; so use this one and not newer ones for now.
But the other tweaks and my modded theme can also just be installed on any CM7 build and by green lens owners as well (you just won't get the transparent statusbar unless you follow post#2 below).
So here's my gift for you guys, I hope you enjoy!
/AL
If you follow this, here's what you'll get:
[*] A pretty damn good CM7-Defy+ build for red lens with:
[*] ICS' screen transition animations [before/after clip here];
[*] Latest update for security certificates;
[*] Properly working Camera/Videocam/zoom [again: for red lens Defy only];
[*] Proper libs to play GTA3 [I will not help you here on getting that game - but you might like to read this post];
[*] Proper libs for Voice Search and Google Translate;
[*] Script to zip align at boot;
[*] T9-style Dialer;
[*] Tap-to-snooze/swipe-to-dismiss [or stock] alarm style;
[*] Transparent statusbar and my MSGingerBlur-based theme with >150+ modded/replaced UI icons;
[*] Properly charging battery for Defy+ owners.
To get started, here's what you'll need download -as needed:
- 7-zip
- RootExplorer (RE) here on the Android Market;
- CM7 F.A.Q.: for 2ndinit, SuperoneClick, etc.
- CM7 and CM9 signed Kernels;
- Dec 13th CM7-Defy+ nightly ;
- Latest GingerBread Gapps .
Once that's done, extract my attached zip files to and place all the content (10 files plus my theme's apk) in a folder on your computer's desktop.
To begin, the following tweaks can be done directly to the nightly zip before the installation BECAUSE we are just replacing files with the same names here; this alleviate the need to further set files' permissions and Ownerships on the phone.
But first, play it safe: charge up your phone and make a nand backup of your current build [and of this nightly zip] and then Open [do not extract] the cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip archive with 7-Zip: by right-clicking on it and then 'Open archive'.
Navigate to the proper folder and replace these files with the ones from my AL's Pack zip by "drag-and-drop" (press "ok" on the replace file warning):
- DeskClock.apk in /system/app
- cacerts.bks in /system/etc/security
- Camera.apk in /system/app (!red lenses only!)
- Contacts.apk in /system/app
- libstagefright.so in /system/lib
- overlay.omap3.so in /system/lib/hw (!red lenses only!)
I just added a 2nd tweaks pack zip (to extract do not flash in recovery)...
- battd in system/bin <-- this is to fix the battery charging problem for Defy+ owners only!
Close the nightly zip archive, move it to your phone [along with all the remaining files extracted from my zip and the optional downloaded signed Kernels and gapps] and go in custom recovery to install (flash) the usual way [Select ZIP from SD card option] the following:
- this modded nightly;
- the "Init-Speed-091711.zip";
- the "update-capez-ICS-mod-ac-patch.zip"; !nightly specific: DO NOT install on another builds!
and if needed:
- the CM9_Kernel-signed.zip IF you're moving to CM7-Defy+ from a Froyo-based rom.
- the latest CM7 Gapps;
--> Wipe cache and Dalvik cache and reboot your phone.
Once booted up..
Now here's the hard one...: we have to replace the SystemUI.apk files onto your phone and set its proper permissions and ownerships.
Like for all the other tweaks involving file replacement, play it safe again and make a backup copy of the original files by renaming their file extensions (for example: to Whatever.bak or as whatever.apk_vo).
The thing is that this file cannot be deleted before pasting another one to replace it. If it is deleted or renamed, it can render your system unusable; so you've been warned!
That can be done using adb, but I prefer to just do this on the phone itself using Terminal Emulator and RootExplorer as explained here.
So 1st, place my modded SystemUI.apk on the root of your sd card [/sdcard/].
Open up Teminal Emulator from the app drawer and type the following:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/
mount -o remount,rw /system/
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
Again this SystemUI replacement for transparent statusbar will work on this nightly ONLY.
*** and be careful here ***: once you do this last step, the launcher might crash or you might even get into an "error loop"; if you do, long press the power button and try to reboot between 2 errors popups OR just pull the battery out and reboot.
If you did not get into an error loop or if you've already rebooted, your status bar might be gone now; don't freak out!
--> Go set the permissions/ownership of the new SystemUI.apk in /system/app/
WITH Teminal Emulator again:
Code:
su
cd /system/app
mount -o remount,rw /system/
chmod 644 SystemUI.apk
chown 0.0 SystemUI.apk
OR
Using RootExplorer, navigate to: /system/app, make the folder writable by clicking the top-right corner buton "Mount R/W" and long press on the SystemUI.apk to select "Permissions" and (scroll down for) "Change owner" entries to set all of their options exactly like the other files in that folder.
Exit RootExplorer or Terminal
- Install my theme: AL_Theme_v18.apk (you will need to allow non-market app installation) and switch to it with CM7 ThemeChooser.
- Go in the phone settings ADWLauncher_System Preferences and UNCHECK Wallpaper Hack
-->> the transparent statusbar will work on the default ADW Laucher; with GO Launcher, you'll have to check the "High Quality Drawing" in its Advanced settings [thanks matchung]; for other launchers you might need to use a live wallpaper or other specific tweaks for this to work and it is up to you to search for it..
- Reboot and Voilà!: you should now have a transparent statusbar with my theme!!
For VoiceSearch:
- Extract and manually add/replace the 2 files from the VoiceSearch.zip:
- VoiceSearch.apk in /system/app
- libvoicesearch.so in /system/lib
--> Set the files' respective permissions and ownerships (you should know how by now...) and reboot.
[sorry for this: the VoiceSearch.zip only contains the 2 files; I thought that I had a cwm recovery update zip for it but I don't...I might create one later]
- Install Google Translate from the Market.
- Run Clock from your app drawer and press Menu Button-->Settings-->Alarm Screen--> select: Moto Blur.
- Enjoy!!
If you don't; wipe all in custom recovery and restore your nand backup and don't forget to also flash the CM7_Kernel-signed.zip if you go back to vanilla CM7 or other Froyo-based ROMs.
Notes:
- Again: the ICS transitions animations and the transparent statusbar tweaks are nightly dependent and will work only on the specified cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip - DO NOT install the update-capez-ICS-mod-ac-patch.zip or the new SystemUI.apk on other builds; it just won't work!
- These mods are all either optional, already in newer builds or might eventually get merged or trashed; this "guide" just was to share most of my current tweaks on that CM7-Defy+ build at this time (Jan 16th);
- I might add more tweaks later;
- I will not maintain this thread religiously and it is definitely NOT meant to be a helpdesk for all the problems you might have with CM7;
- I will not edit your SystemUI.apk (to have the transparent statusbar) or create the ICS transition patch for your specific build (see the link for a guide in the aknowlegments section for the ICS screen animation patcher from DaxInfinty and check post #2 for a guide on transparent statusbar);
- Commments, additional tweak recommendations and bugs RELATED to everything above are welcomed; otherwise, keep this thread clean please and don't spam or full-quote for no reason.
Tweaks that did not make it:
- Bravia Engine: no proof that it actual works and most likely missing libs and service from Sony to work - read this post
- GB 3D performance update; tried but Benchmarks showed no statistically relevant proof of improvement - read this post
Aknowledgements:
A 1000 Thanks go to:

and who ever else I might have forgotten.

Since I've mentioned it...here it is!:
HOW TO modify the SystemUI.apk to get TRANSPARENT STATUS BAR on any CM7-Jordan build [and other cm7 builds for different phones].
* This has been verified to work at least with ADW Launcher, ADW-EX Launcher, GO Launcher and FTL launcher BUT READ the Notes at the very bottom of the post.
What you need:
- From the OP, you should now have 7-zip and RootExplorer installed; otherwise download from here and here;
- Download smali/baksmali files from here and put the 4 files in a new folder (for example: c:\smali) [which I will use in this guide];
- Download and install Notepad++ from here: - this is just an awesome text editor ;
Now let's do this:
0- Make a backup copy of your system and/or of the original SystemUI.apk file [from the /system/app directory].
1- With 7-zip installed, right-click on the zip of your current nightly and choose "7-Zip --> Open archive" [DO NOT extract it, just "Open Archive"] and navigate to: system/app and click and drag SystemUI.apk to your computer's desktop;
2- Repeat step 1 with the SystemUI.apk on your desktop and to find the file: classes.dex in the root folder of the apk. Select it and drag it (to make a copy of it) into your c:\smali directory (you can leave SystemUI.apk archive opened as we'll replace that file back in later on);
3- Open a CMD prompt (click Start and type: CMD) and type following 2 commands to decompile the classes.dex file:
Code:
cd c:\smali
java -jar baksmali-1.2.8.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
[*** --> Replace the "1.2.8" part by what ever file version you've downloaded]
** Do not close the CMD window just yet.
4- Go in the classout directory that was just created in c:\smali, and find the file named: StatusBarService.smali [in: c:\smali\classout\com\android\systemui\statusbar\] and open it with Notepad++;
5- Search for the line containing:
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
just above it, you will see: const/4 v5, 0×2 --> change that to: const/4 v5, -0×3
--> that line should be around line# 2223 for recent Defy and Defy+ cm7 nightly builds
6- Save the file and exit Notepad++;
7- Go back to your CMD prompt and enter this command to recompile the classes.dex file:
Code:
java -jar smali-1.2.8.jar classout -o classes.dex
[*** --> Don't forget to replace the "1.2.8" part by what ever file version you've downloaded]
8- Close your cmd window and slide the new classes.dex file back over your SystemUI.apk opened archive (drag and drop) and then close it.
Now the rest is just like in the OP:
To replace the SystemUI.apk on your phone:
So 1st, place the modded SystemUI.apk on the root of your sd card.
Open up Teminal Emulator from the app drawer and type the following:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/ #(<-- modify this accordingly if you've placed your new systemUI.apk else where)
mount -o remount,rw /system/
cp -f SystemUI.apk /system/app
*** be careful here ***: once you do this last step, the launcher might crash or you might even get into an "error loop"; if you do, long press the power button and try to reboot between 2 errors popups OR just pull the battery out and reboot.
If you did not get into an error loop or if you've already rebooted, your status bar might be gone now; don't freak out!
--> Go set the permissions/ownership of the new SystemUI.apk in /system/app/
WITH Teminal Emulator again:
Code:
su
cd /system/app
mount -o remount,rw /system/
chmod 644 SystemUI.apk
chown 0.0 SystemUI.apk
OR
Using RootExplorer, navigate to: /system/app and long press on the SystemUI.apk to select "Permissions" and (scroll down for) "Change owner" entries to set all of their options exactly like the other files in that folder.
Exit RootExplorer or Terminal
Make sure to disable (UNCHECK) "Wallpaper Hack" in the phone settings ADWLauncher_System Preferences or "use High Quality Pictures" option if you use GO Launcher.
Reboot and enjoy!
Notes:
- Some of your widgets might need to be removed from your phone's screen and re-installed to display properly.
- Do not try to edit the systemUI.apk and incorporate it in the nightly zip before install; it won't work - it HAS TO be done on the phone after the nightly install has fully booted at least once.
- This will allow my theme or other transparent-enabled themes to work; I will add how to do this on the CM7 default themes (or any other) later maybe...
So for now, that's it!! - It wasn't too hard to do wasn't it?
ah!.. might as well finish this... :
This should probably have been at the beginning of the post but...
If you want the transparency on any theme (CM7 default themes at least), you might want to try the following:
Note: This will work at least on ADW Launcher, GO Launcher and FTL launcher [thanks lurkerPL ] - but keep reading as some launcher settings might be required.
All you need is to modify a few png images in the SystemUI.apk before replacing it onto the phone steps.
1- go to \SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ folder and drag this file out to your desktop:
statusbar_background.9.png
Optionally, do it for these 3 files also (which are for the notification pane pulldown background):
status_bar_background.9.png
shade_bg.png
status_bar_close_on.9.png
2- Open the PNG files in Paint.Net (nice and free: get it here ), [Gimp, Photoshop, or whatever your favorite image/picture editor capable of png transparency] and delete their background for fully transparent statusbar OR if you want semi-transparency; do that instead. in Paint.net, this is done by selecting: Layers_Layer properties..._Opacity value: 0-255.
--> I believe that I previously used something like 10% layer transparency for the first 2 files and 25% for the last 2 but you'll have to find what king of semi-transparency you prefer.
3- Go on and replace those modified PNG files back into the SystemUI.apk [\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\ folder Opened archive] by just dragging them over their original folder [7-zip again].
Go on with the SystemUI.apk replacement and reboot.
Notes:
- you might have to play around and switch theme with the ThemeChoser.
- again: don't forget to disable Wallpaper Hack in ADWLauncher settings_System preferences or "use High Quality Pictures" option with GO Launcher.

Nice!!!!

I have a green lensed Defy.
If I install the nightly from this post and then flash the greenbreadmod, will I have all features back? Or it is incompatible? Thanks

Just from memory, I believe that Walter79 has already confirmed that this wouldn't work for the green lens Defy on CM7 Defy+ ; you'd still have no camera.
But you can try other tweaks from the package and my theme...

Nice that you've taken the time to do this! Great Work!
I, kind sir, salute you!
EDIT: Hey AL, there's no voicesearch.zip in your pack, so i just included the files in the GAPPS.zip.
BTW, loved the icon for device settings... but the theme is to BLUR-ish for my taste...

nice thread Al. one little question.. your tweak with overlay.omap3.so and camera.apk not work in newest build than 13. december, right? i thing i try this change, and it didn't work..

Oupsy! I knew I would have screwed up somewhere.. Fixed now with a new tweaks zip. Thanks for pointing that out - nice move to over come it Now there is a zip with the 2 required files for VoiceSearch but it is NOT a CWM recovery update... so this have to be manually added or done with your gapps zip trick.
You mean the icon for CyanogenMod settings? Blurrish yes (It's based on GingerBlur afterall) but I do like the big -changing color- icons for the notification power widgets..

Thanks also. You are correct: Dec15th, Dec23rd and Jan9th Defy+ nightly builds all have problems with camera even with the tweak. So that's why I did all this with that nightly.

I've just edited post #2 for a how to on getting a transparent statusbar on any CM7 nightly build and theme (hopefully).
I've just added a second tweaks pack including the battery charging fix for Defy+ owners (and for possible future tweaks).

Like I've expected and mentioned on the OP, the latest CM7 nightly by Epsylon3 is now including the ICS screen transition animations AND the screen rotation animations [which is awesome].
It's a very good build for both green and red lens owners and have a few other improvements as described here.
One problem remains though: the camera zoom doesn't work once the video recording has started and that can be fixed by replacing the Camera.apk from my first tweak pack only - no need to replace the overlay.omap3.so.
Finally, I'm attaching the tweaked SystemUI.apk for transparent statusbar for THAT specific nightly below - just follow the instructions on the OP to replace that file [that should work with my theme and with CM7 default themes as well].

I tried your methods from the second post. Works great. Have a Zte Blade running CM7 and Adw Ex.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for reporting and I'm glad that it was useful for you.
It ain't that hard as it looks isn't?
My gf also has a zte blade on which I installed cm7 a couple weeks ago... I might have a question or two about that eventually...

Anyone know if I could work in Launcher Pro (LP)

I've never used Launcher Pro myself, but from what I've read on this -and as strange as it sounds- it requires the use of a live wallpaper for the transparency to work.
People have suggested to use something like the Live Walpaper Creator app and to make a one-slide-only live wallpaper (thus making it a static picture and minimizing the battery use/system sluggishness) to allow the transparent statusbar.
I just enjoy ADW Launcher's customizable swipe gestures too much to try LP. Swype up on any homescreen to switch off the display is really great...

Just added to the OP: flashable zips for TouchWiz style Calendar and semi-transparent MMS.apk-no smileys.
Details here: Calendar.apk, MMS.apk - please read before flashing.
And bonus!..why not!? here's a link for the very nice looking [sec pic] semi-transparent PlayStore from Pendo - that I've modded so that it stays at v3.4.7: Pendo's v3.4.7 semi-trans Vending.apk - no auto-update
Cheers!
A few reminders:
I post all this for my own recollection and easy access mainly [and your enjoyment hopefully ]. I make no guarranties and take no liability for any side effects if you chose to try tany of those mods: that being monetary, physical, software/hardware-wise or any other...
So make your backups first - you've been warned !!
Be a respectful xda forum member and follow up the links that I gave (and will always try to give) to the original modder/poster's thread and go give thanks there - don't just be a leech .

[MOD][LOCKRINGS] OVER 200 DESIGNS, GAMES, CM, AOKP & more ~~~~

Heya Guys, back with something really cool..
With this thread i bring more than 200 Lockrings !! :angel:
Big Thanks to Faithcry. Here is the original thread, THANK him there !!
They are metamorph/zipthemer (for JB) zips so please download the app and then open the zip and apply with metamorph!
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE ZIPTHEMER, GO HERE (Thanks azertguigui)
please nandroid if you don't know 100% what you're doing or how to recover otherwise.
the other option is to pull your framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ to your computer and then if you get a bootloop you can always adb push it back.
Commonly asked Questions or reoccuring comments :
- USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.
- ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID or have one on hand to fall back. I cannot stress this enough, especially if you are a newb and this is your first time flashing a theme / using metamorph
- alternatively, if you know what you're doing, just pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ BEFORE you apply the theme and if you get a bootloop just push it back from recovery.
now.
HOW DO I INSTALL THIS???
- First, USE ZIPTHEMER
- download the file to /sdcard/Zipthemer
- go open Zipthemer
- BEFORE ADDING THEMES UPDATE EDIFY
-> hit menu
-> update edify
-> browse...
-> browse to your rom's zip and click on it
-> it will return to the previous menu and then hit configure
-> EDIFY IS NOW CONFIGURED
- then it +Theme and navigate to the folder with the ring
- then change the name of the output if you like
- then click "Build It" and then make a back up.
- reboot into recovery and flash
- reboot
- ?????
- PROFIT!
OMG THESE ARE AWESOME WHAT ROMS DOES IT WORK ON?
anything AOSP based, that being cm10.1, aokp, rasbean, etcetc.
it will NOT work with the sony roms, or sense roms, or touchwiz roms so dont blame me if you try doing it with those roms.
i'm on paranoid and thats based of CM10 so it'll work right?!
YES IS WORKS..
DOWNLOADS : Here
For NFL lockring PACK : Here
Thanks spunks3
Again a BIG thanks to FaithCry !!

Tutorial For Making Your Own !!
Tutorial on how to make your own lockrings, again by FaithCry
i'm not responsible if you eff up your phone cause you dont know what you're doing. but here is a brief but pretty concise explanation of how to do it.
if you download any of the zips, and unzip it, you'll find a folder with files, and an .xml file.
if you want to change the pics of the lockrings
- unzip with winrar or 7z or whatever
- go to framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi (or xhdpi if youre on a gs3)
- change your lockring .png's. They can be anything, but just make sure they are 162x162 px for hdpi and 216x216 px for xhdpi
- ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png is the lockring when it is not pressed
- ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png is when you put your finger to drag it to your designated target.
- MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR EDITED PNG's TO EXACTLY WHAT IS ABOVE OR ELSE IT WONT WORK (unless you want to play with xml)
- once you have fixed up all your images go back to the root folder where you unzipped the original zipfile.
- then open the xml and change accordingly to what it says.. pretty straightfoward
- now this is important for it to work with meta! : you can rename the xml to (your name here).xml, but it is IMPERATIVE that when you ZIP the file back together, you name the zip the EXACT same as the xml except ending in .zip
- so select your xml and your folder (framework-res) and then right click, and zip it with winrar or 7z. make SURE it is a ZIP file and that it is the EXACT SAME NAME AS THE XML and DO NOT COMPRESS IT!
- then when you have your zip, drag and drop it into your AndroidThemes folder on your internal SD or SD (assuming you're using metamorph) and then apply with MM or Zipthemer or ninjamorph etcetc!
**it will soft reboot or freeze or whatever, just pull the battery and boot normal. or use
Code:
adb reboot
and voila! there you have it, you've made your very own custom lockrings!
cheers!
thats all for now, but this post will be updated when popular questions arise.
Thank HIM here

[MOD] V20F bell / atnt / xxx Kronic BlueMod v4.3 / V5 / V5.1

Kronic BlueMod V 4.3 / V5.1 for 4.2 framework
- i posted v5 on a reply... wasn't thinking it's on page 1.
- it is normal for first boot to take a long time after flashing mod, during this time the system is updating the cache partitions new drawables etc because system files changed. 1-3 minutes maybe. if it starts to take really long then flash backup zip or reflash the rom you were using to patch the files back to normal, this shouldn't really happen though unless you get currupt download or flash to incompatible rom.
for bell based v20f, also works on most other v20f but some icons may need to be swapped.
- to backup original ui, make a copy of this zip, open the copy with 7-zip, replace /system/app/systemui.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the CURRENT ones from your phone (adb pull them or something) then rename the copied zip originalUI.zip and put it on your sdcard, in case something goes wrong you can reflash it to go back to default.
- to install just flash the zip in recovery mode, do not wipe cache partitions, the android OS will update them when it sees changed files.
enjoy!!!!
p.s. i don't take responsibility for you breaking your phone.
if you aren't confident in moding these files, but you want something changed just post what it is and i'll do my best to provide you with a personal patch. if there is an icon i missed on the rom you use, let me know and i'll update. (many roms use differant icons)
- if this doesn't work with your rom you can request that i write one specifically for your rom and i may do it.
i do intend on adding other color versions of this so feel free to request colors.
this UI mod is intended to make the amazingly stable and battery friendly v20f a real option by making it pretty.
other additions i recommend are:
power toggles (has a homescreen widget that add's reboot menu with recovery option and bypasses reflashing on reboot by this i just mean a faster reboot by using a root reboot command instead of stock reboot which takes forever)
pocket skip track (allows you do add screen off track switching functionality to stock roms.)
mx camera (gives you hdr camera options without removing 1080p video capabilities like cm10.1)
apex launcher (jelly bean style launcher with lots of options)
exdialer ( a good free dialer with some really nice theme's i bought a payed one for 2 dollars or something that's black and blue)
MHL works on stock roms (micro usb -> hdmi -> tv)
the rom i recommend to run with this is
the legend Ho!No!'s v20f mod 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185178
happy texting !!!
the other feature of this is it should theoretically run smoother than stock files due to less compression.
i will also be posting email.apk LGMms.apk LGCalendar.apk with some better black theme's
this mod is not new but i'm just trying to make a universal one for v20f now, i already have alot of happy users.
--added in 4.3 is standard black background with blue text (on title bar) for any apps or widgets that use default framework values, so far on mine it works for quite a few.
i don't think this will work on roms that aren't deodexed
Kronics BlueMod V5
V5.1 has a few divider fixes and the tab for slider panels/quicksettings in status_bar_expanded
the lockscreen is for pattern lock check attachment if u wanna see it
the screenshot for the quicksettings panel is from before the cyan color was fixed to neon blue
screenshot 16 is V4.3 the others are 5.0, in 5.1 the bottom tab color is fixed on screenshot 26
in 5.0+ BlueMod tag is removed i decided the average person probably doesn't want it.
in 5.1 the bottom bar in expanded panel color is fixed
- i did more work to framework-res to change more of the default backgrounds and font color's for 3rd party apps and such, there are a few system apps that i think have to be modded individually because it didn't apply for them, but you should see some of your apps starting to inherit the theme.
for the pattern lock mod, i disable the showing of the lines because it's extremely hard to mod, it's done in some equation in a smali file somewhere that is differant location on most phones, until someone that has a strong grasp of smali that uses LG phones takes a look i can't mod that

Kronics BlueMod v5
This has only been tested on the rom with 4.2 framework v20f, if someone wants to try flashing it on a non updated framework v20f and let me know if it works that is cool, if not i'll do it when i get a chance, if u do it backup your original files to a flash first.
i already fixed the highligher on the bottom tab for settings panel that is slightly the wrong color (greenish) coming in next update

i'm currently investigating the issue that is causing long reboots on every reboot instead of the first one after install. it doesn't seem to be affecting system performance but i know that is probably annoying people so i'm looking into fixing it.
edit i wiped all drives and installed the rom without the mod and it was only 15 seconds or so faster boot, i think this rom just has a long boot (the 4.2 framework one)
