Hi everyone
I ported two little mods to the latest JB 4.2. They have been tested on the stock odexed ROM but they could work on a deodexed one ^_^
- GB Theme Remover removes the Gingerbread "theme" from all the old apps and displays them with the Holo (4.0+) one. The mod was originally ported by lippol94 to 4.1. Just flash the zip.
- Facebook Sync makes you sync your FB contacts with the built-in People app.
How to:
- Delete the FB account
- Flash the zip
- Go to Settings, Applications, Contacts Storage and delete its data (make sure you have synced your contacts before doing this...)
- Open the Facebook app and as soon as you enter your login, it should ask you to sync.
Hope they are useful ^_^
Not sure what I done wrong when I tried using this on mmuzys 4.2 gave me a boot loop. Had to reflash OS rom.
Would love to try this mod though.

Looks interesting. What exactly does the first mod do?

You should make a zip themer mod for the GB remover so anyone can use it in any custom Rom
If you don't know how just give me all the png's in a zip file and I'll do for you

Since the GB remover mod replaces the framework-res.apk in the system
I think you will get boot loops if you flash it
As for the Facebook sync mod I don't know

I think only on stock 4.2 because it changes the framework
So I don't think it will work with ROMs like FNV but if he gives me the images I will make a zip themer mod

There are no images. Changes are made to XML files.
Well do you know which XML files?
Because those can be replaced with zip themer as well
Its replacing Styles.xml which cannot be zipthemer'd. Framework has to manually be decompiled and modded.
Don't do this if you don't know anything about it.
I did this on my galaxy nexus with xenonhd running on it and it didn't end well. After I rebooted it diden't sync anything anymore now I have to completely reflash everything again

As I said it's just for 4.2 ROMs... and probably as I learned these days, only for the stock ROM because Android checks for the signature of framework-res and a lot of apks in /system/app. They must match or the OS won't even boot. These mods keep Google's signature so the only ROMs which work are Google-signed ones.
I got a boot loop on aosp r5.

This is Touchwiz 4 for all stock 2.3.3 roms Enjoy!
Guys, main work was made by fguy from 4pda.ru forum, I just make some minor changes and modifications, pack files properly in zip files and post them here.
Install attached Zip file using recovery. Or unzip it and copy files using root explorer. After installation - wipe dalvic cache.
2 versions, first - stock one, second with modified smaller text, transparent labels under icons at the bottom (looks better)
Also versions with stock SGS2 icons!
Home screen number and screen count you can customize yourself.

ro.csc.homescreen.defaultscreen=3
ro.csc.homescreen.screencount=7

Can I use ROM kitchen to change battery icon etc safely? I did it for Galaxy S and wondering if experience will be the same with G III.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, I just did it, but there are a few tweaks/gotchas...
1. You can only do some limited things with the kitchen (I just did battery). The reason is that if you are messing with anything in the twresframework.apk - the ones on our phones are too big (over 3MB) and will be rejected by the kitchen for now. I was only able to update the regular resframework and systemui files.
2. The resulting UOT file will not work as is in CWM (gives the Status 0 error). So I followed their suggested workaround:
WORKAROUND for recovery error (Status 0):
1. Unzip your ROM and find
META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary file
2. Put this file in the UOT zip (overriding UOT's file)
For this, I actually borrowed the CWM script from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732262 and took its update-binary file and copied over into the UOT one.
After that it installed correctly, and I know have a new battery icon!
Please note that doing this changed my status under the download mode to CUSTOM, but it did not increase the Binary Counter. I suspect because when you start mucking with key system files like the framework, it's got to account for this.
Can you share your battery icon?

Sure. This is specifically for the ATT i747 (UCALEM) - and using on other variants is almost guaranteed to be trouble since were dealing with framework files

Can you tell me why framework-res was changed in your patch, because battery icons are in the systemui. Was wondering because I already have a changed framework with tethering and cell standby fix and was going to try only using the systemui. Thanks

To be honest, I'm just used to uploading both frameworks and the systemui whenever using the kitchen. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if just copying over the systemui would do it and the framework is untouched stock.
Whenever I used the kitchen on the past I also would use the latest framework of my phone to preserve any tweaks also made to it. You're more than welcome to try manually patching just the systemui and retain your custom framework.
Each phone I've had seems to move certain components to different files which again is why out of habit I use the frameworks but could just be a placebo.

Just FYI, I'm running DietICS ROM.
I had previously used ROM Toolbox to change to a custom battery icon.
Then I just now flashed your battery icon.
Now I've lost my toggle menu.
Tried a fix-permissions & clear davlick but it didn't help.
If the dev for that ROM made their own customizations to either the framework or systemui flashing this may break them because these are from the stock ROM. To get it back your may need to re flash either the of the original files from the ROM you are on.

Yep.
I was just mentioning it so others on the same ROM wouldn't try to flash the battery and get stuck if they didn't already do a nandroid.

I thought of asking the same, as I really miss this, too.
But the source release is ~2 weeks away, so AOKP/CM is about to land here soon. We might just wait untill then :fingers-crossed:
just saw in modacos jb rom in kitchen you can choose cm9´s t9 dialer.. so in other words its already ported for JB. Maby someone can fix a flashable zip with it?
I could get it to work now, I get the Contacts.apk from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29148-ro...ulti-reboot-power-menu-cm9-t9-dialer-updated/
You have only extract the Contacts.apk from the Modaco build 1.2. I could make a flashable zip but the app is not my work.
this is t9 dialer based on stock dialer

Here's a repacked T9 Dialer (found on Modaco build 1.2) works on JB deodexed ROM. It replaces stock JB dialer. I've tesedt on bigxie rom.
download from box.com
or

Note: If you are on odex ROM, you might have a boot loop... please manually push the Contacts.apk and delete Contacts.odex.
Edit: added script to delete Contacts.odex from /system/app/ so it should works on both odexed/deodexed rom.
Iam on JellyBelly and sadly it doesnt work.
It will say "App not installed" when i press my old Shortcut and in Drawer its not to see.

Are you on odex ROM or deodexed ROM? if you're on the odex ROM, there's /system/app/Contacts.odex needed to be deleted. If it doesn't work for you, I don't have any idea too since I got that app from other rom. By the way, I only tested it in my device and my sister device, both running deodexed rom by bigxie.

1. The file I got is from Modaco CDMA/LTE rom. I use in on my GSM network and it works for me, so I assume it works for both CDMA/GSM.
2. You have to flash the zip through CWM recovery, but can also use adb to push the file to your /system/app
Iam on JellyBelly. So deodexed. Cant understand why it doesnt work there. No big difference to Stock.
Gesendet von meinem A500
you could try:
redownload the CWM-flashable ZIP
renaming the contacts.apk in your /system/app with ESFileExplorer (root needed)
instant reboot to recovery
flash the ZIP file again
reboot and check with ES-File if the new contacts.apk was correctly applied

The modded app is released before the source code of 4.1 out, and I think it's CM9 app... and to be precised, it is 4.0.4-eng.paul.20120703.185012. You will have to wait for someone do the mod for 4.1 if you want the latest app.
I downloaded and tried to flash but gives me a status 7 code because the zip is designed for gsm phones.
I don't have time to edit the package tonight. Could someone just upload the contact.apk? I can just use root explorer to move it.
Update
I extracted the apk from the archive and moved it to apps. Set the proper permissions and reset but still no go. Doesn't even display or install. Restored my original and back to the drawing board.

Hey guys, since I am a noob in Android development in general, can someone please port the Phone.apk (attached) to Stock JB 4.2 with or without odex file.
I haven't tested this apk yet on 4.2 because I am paranoid. Or anyone can provide me information regarding if it would work directly (without porting).
My main idea behind porting is because of vibration (while call pickup and hang up) stuff that CM provides.
Thank you.

I read somewhere that the Phone.apk have to be signed by the signature that sign the ROM.
I'm pretty sure the way i phrase is not completely correct but i'm sure you can get the idea.
To the guys who are saying to install as a system app: I, in the first place pushed the APK using zip file but it didn't work. Mach3.2 might be correct. If you guys want to know why I want a port for it, just ask away.

I used sample.zip file that I didn't modify and maybe that's why the launcher didn't work with rotation so I modified files from META-INF folder and now it flashes it correctly and rotates correctly too.

First of all thanks for this mod, but I'm facing a problem when screen is rotated. Toggles are messed up in Xylon ROM 0081 (s. Screens / attachment).
Also the flashable ZIP did not work. CWM 6.0.1.9 flashed it successfully but it was still the original launcher2.apk, even when I renamed the original one to .apkold, the modded apk wasn't there when I flashed the zip. So I installed ithe apk to data first, copied it to system and adjusted permissions.
I just wonder if Xylon is Odexed... Gonna check that next. If it is, is there a way to make it work?

I don't know nothing about the custom ROM "Xylon" the launcher is for stock ROMs and for ROMs what does not have modified system apps and modified framework-res.apk....
You can try to flash it by wiping cache and dalvik cache and then flash the launcher.
You can also try the ADB way if that works better.
I messed my nexus up by trying to theme framework-res.apk and when I flashed my ROM again and this launcher then now it does not rotate... I don't know why.. but before it worked..
flash-able zip is fixed now..
Works good with MMuzzys Toroplus ROM
The new ZIP is working now and on Paranoid Android launcher rotation is working thanks to you. Toggles not messed up beyond repair. Still wondering about issue with Xylon rom, as it uses the stock launcher by default... But I still don't know if and how much it was modded.

Hi, thanks so much for this, I needed it because of a custom car dock and I don't want to install car dock apps when they're just unnecessary bloatware.
Is there any way to rotate the lock screen, too, or is that something entirely different? It would be most helpful. Not a fan of pattern lock sideways (but obviously, I can make do!).
