Thanks, however as soon as i transfer the edited framework-res by root explorer. The arc resets and goes into a bootloop. Im pretty new to this, do i have to sign the apk? Step by step guide would be awesome!

Buuump need this to work!

No you don't need to sign it, but you need to set the correct permissions.
It's easy to do it via ADB.
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
It can also be done with Root Explorer though:
1. Transfer your new apk to the sdcard.
2. Open Root Explorer and move the apk to /system.
3. Set the permissions to : rw-r-r-
(all first column ticked, second column only first ticked.)
4. THEN and ONLY THEN, move it to /system/framework.
5. Reboot and you're done.

I think that you also have to change the emoticons into the Conversations.apk

To make the status bar transparent flash the file you download in clockwork mod recovery remember if you use launcher pro you will need to use multi picture live wallpaper since it is not set by in launcher pro the other launchers should be fine

[Mod] Disable Led Lights

Hi
If you want to disable led lights in bottom of phone, you need only a Root Explorer , go here:
/sys/class/leds/button-backlight
open this file ( brightness ) in text editor and change 1 to 0 , now save the file, it should turn off your led lights.
but it effect untill your phone is on after restart it goes back to defaults.
May be you can make script to apply at boot.

Make a zip that pushes the edited file into the system, perhaps i can make it

(HOW TO) Swap SD Card For CM10

Since CM10 by Arco released, there is no swap option in the storage menu.
This is only for CM10 and ONLY FOR GALAXY W
For this just copy the file provided to '/etc/(paste)' via root explorer or some other app...also set permissions to rw-r-r
For Permissions: Image Provided.
there are two files.
1. Internal sd card as the default
2. Microsd card as Default
THIS IS NOT A FLASH-ABLE ZIP. PLEASE EXTRACT
Thanks to (tomatoman23)

yow jas!
just want to clarify things;
you mean, to swap internal to external memories, just paste these TWO files to /etc, changed permissions, reboot, and done?
or we select which one to be default?
-salute!

sorry, it's say other men:
1. Download "External sd card as default".
2. Extract vold.fstab

4. Change permissions to rw-r--r--
5. Reboot
6. Got bootloop

This doesn't work on arco's cm10 alpha1.I copied the vold.fstab with root explorer and set permissions like the image.And the phone stuck at bootanimation.Phone doesn't boot normally.

Or you could simply with the default file explorer in CM10, enable root acess and then navigate to system > etc > void.fstab and then change it to resemble this
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard1 28 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1
# externel sdcard
dev_mount external_sd /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc2

Or you can use the one I included because some might be lazy, all you need to do now is change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (heres what it looks like if you are unsure)

No idea since the only thing I did to mine is as I shown in the quote and nothing else which I already swapped the storages and I didn't see what the OP posted but seeing as people have been having problems just thought I help out cause I got confused at first.

I have also used this vold.fstab (and followed the instructions) and my phone got stuck at the bootanimation. I will try to manually modify my vold.fstab.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium

I´m not into CM10 for now as CM9 is working well for me, but assuming the vold.fstab files provided by jassim007 are correct, you need to do the following to prevent the SGW to stick in a bootloop.
1) Use RootExplorer
2) Copy the file either to your external or internal Storage
3) Move the file to your device, but not the destination folder
4) Set permissions correctly
5) Copy to destination folder by overwriting the original vold.fstab
6) Reboot

Hold the file u want to set and pick set permission.. that's in root explorer. Dunno bout es..
U can set permission via adb shell or terminal emulator by using chmod command. Useful when u need to change multiple files (in one folder)
