Juggernaunt 5.0 ROM Control Icon Change!

Anyone else not like the unicorn as the "ROM Control" icon on Juggernaut 5.0?
No offense to the creator .. unicorns just aren't my thing.
Here is a Settings.apk that changes the icon to something a little more standard looking.
Prerequisites
Root
ADB
Something to mount /system/ as writable (I use ES File Explorer)
Instructions
1. Place the attached "Settings.apk" in the folder where you have ADB setup (usually either "tools" or "platform-tools" in your SDK folder)
2. Type "cmd" in Run Dialog
3. Type cd and then type the path to the folder where you have ADB setup
Example
Code:
cd c:/android/android-sdk/platform-tools/
4. On your phone, mount system as writable (IMPORTANT : Your system must be writable or you will get a read-only error in the command prompt)
5. Push the modified "Settings.apk" to the /system/app/ folder
Code:
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
You may or may not get some Force Closes after doing this - IT'S OKAY!
6. Reboot your phone - the fastest way is just type "adb reboot" since you already have the command prompt up and are in the correct directory.
Congratulations! You changed your ROM Control icon!

Lol i actually liked the old "juggernaut" icon but the unicorn looks kinda cool, lol (no homo)
Thanks for this..might need this for future reference.

I'll see if I still have them .. just wiped for a fresh install.
They're both UOT Kitchen mods ...

[GUIDE] How to deodex a Motorola Defy/Defy+

So, I just deodexed my Defy MB525 and wanted to share this info.
It works on Defy+ too!
************************************************************
DEODEXING ONLY MAKES SENSE IF YOU ARE USING A STOCK ROM.
MOST OF CUSTOM ROMs ARE ALREADY DEODEXED
************************************************************
WHAT IS DEODEXING?
Read here for a complete guide on odexed vs deodexed ROMs. In a few words a deodexed ROM allows users and developers to make easier modifications and theming.
ATTENTION:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE!
If you don't follow the steps correctly you might brick your tablet and/or lose your personal data!
REQUIREMENTS:
xUltimate (download here)
Rooted Motorola Defy/Defy+
ADB set up and basic knowledge of using it
Windows PC
a brain that is able to think (not too much )
Process:
1. Unzip xUltimate to a folder, and launch "Main.exe"
2. Plug in your Defy/Defy+ (USB debugging enabled)
3. If everything is OK, xUltimate should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
4. Run option 5. This is going to take a while. Don't panic.
5. When it's finished, exit xUltimate and put the phone in USB mass storage mode.
6. Go back into the xUltimate folder, copy "done_frame", and "done_app" and move them to the root of the sdcard.
7. Turn off the USB mass storage.
8. Open command promt, navigate to your ADB directory, and type in the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
reboot
8. Now, let your phone reboot, it is now deodexed!

Thanks for sharing. Although I might have some problem with that last requirement
I'll use the thanks button on this one definitely

thanks. some people think a odexed rom run faster than deodexed rom.if you dont modify your rom , i think a odexed rom works better.

[How To] Deodex ICS Strictly for Xperia S .45 & .50

Deodexed using DsiXda's Rom kitchen, so credit goes to DsiXda.
Do it at your own risk ! I'm just as NOOB as any on this forum. I just followed few topics and made this up.
I'm not responsible if your Xperia S gets bricked , because mine is working fine.
Follow steps correctly or else you get bootloops and you have to flash your rom again.
Your SXS must be rooted (with Locked Bootloader or Unlocked boot loader) on Stock ICS ROM 6.1.A.2.45 without any mods like toggles or reboot menus.
So i recommend to do this just after you flash & root your Stock ICS ROM 6.1.A.2.45.
Install Latest 'BusyBox' from Andriod Market.
Make complete backup first.
Step1: Downloading & Copying files on to phone's internal storage
These are NOT and i repeat NOT flashable zips through recovery.
Extracting the below zips on your PC you get two folders namely done_app & done_frame.
Copy these two folders on to your Xperia S. (Please Do Not rename the folders)
Deodexed_app .45(146mb)
Deodexed_frame .45(24mb)
Deodexed_app .50(150mb)
Deodexed_frame .50(24mb)
Step2: Pushing them onto your phone. (Adopted from xUltimate method, credits to him )
You should have ADB correctly setup on your PC.
Turn on your Xperia S.
Enable Settings>Security>Unknown Sources.
Enable Settings>Developer Options>Usb Debugging.
Disable Xperia>Connectivity>Install PC Companinon.
Connect phone to your PC . Wait for PC to show up internal storage.
Go to 'platform-tools' folder in your adnroid-sdk folder, hold shift down and right click mouse, select 'Open Command window here' , You'll get a cmd window.
Enter the below code in the cmd window line by line
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
reboot
After the phone reboots you'll have deodexed rom.
I also made 30 steps Volume mod i'll share it once deodexing works perfectly for you guys because it works only on deodexed roms. Have fun !

No big deal man chill ! Let some of the users confirm this method, I'll share it. It is only for deodex users. If I share it now stock odex users will have bootloops.

Yes but I need to update it to the latest fw and this method works for more devices then our XS I did it for 2011 line in my starting days there
In fact it will deodex most firmwares for most Android devices on Gingerbread, ICS or even Jellybean with the latest update, so it's not strictly for Xperia S and ICS

Deodex is not for theming. U can understand it somewhere else
I will add advantages of deodexing to 1st post.
Acid v6 not working yet, I haven't really tested. V5 works.
It doesn't matter whether ur Rom is odexed or deodexed, the advantage is no android upgrade loop on deodexed Rom.

You can actually a package, which used here man. Sdk, busybox, etc. It would be better. And one more question. Is it exactly at .55?

Sdk has to be installed (few hundred Mbs) + Java
Root+busybox link given.
I can't make a package for that. Maybe links. I will consider.
Its .45, I'll do .50 and .55, can anyone provide me the app and framework?

Just a thought why don't take .55 deodex both app and framework from the ROM I post long ago. It is in zip format so you could easily extract app and framework then follow instruction in first post to inject to your ROM.

Yes, I delete few app that recognize as bloat ware (this is recommended by rom kitchen) I see that you also use rom kitchen I believe you should see that as well.
The other change is not relate to app and framework.

Didn't write it down so can not tell you exactly which one.
It said some thing like do you want to remove bloatware ? I just say yes.
May be you could try to deodex .55 ROM then see if it detect any bloatware.

[Guide / MOD] Completely Remove StatusBar

So, I have been theming a few aspects of my phone (very minor), but one thing I had wanted was to completely remove the statusbar as I really wanted that extra space, and I found it was very unneeded for my frame.
I did some Googling till I found a couple of sources, and dove in. A few stressful hours later, I had no status bar, but could still use gestures from Nova / Pie to access it when I wanted to.
I am not the greatest at explaining things, but hopefully I will convey the steps on how to do this easily.
Pre-Reqs:
1) ADB installed on Computer
2) Windows
-That's what I used. I'm sure it's possible to use a Mac, but this guide is solely for Windows
3) Rooted
-Not tested on non-rooted
4) 7zip (I found it worked better than winRAR for this)
5) Download this file: http://www.speedyshare.com/n6ahB/download/resources.arsc
-This file is the file with all the measurements inside it that is taken from my Note 2
-Click the file name on the very top of the link to start the download. Tricky Ads
Because the file I edited contained very basic sizing, dpi, etc information, it should work on any custom ROM that is 4.1.2 or 4.2.2. I am currently running Team Whomps 4.1.2 ROM (V. 4.2).
The file that I edited should in no way brick your phone. Worst case scenario, it may cause boot loops. But, as always, I am not responsible for what happens to your phone if it does burst into flames, or any other negative scenario.
Steps:
Optional (Recommended): Make a nandroid backup before proceeding)
1) Boot your phone into recovery and make sure your system / root is mounted to your computer on your recovery screen
2) Connect your phone to your Windows PC
3) First, make sure it is showing up on ADB by opening up command prompt on your PC, and type "adb devices" - without quotes
-If it doesn't show up, make sure drivers, etc, are installed and don't continue until it shows up
-If it DOES show up, please continue
4) Change directories to your C drive by typing in command prompt: "cd / " without quotes, and a space in between the 'cd' and '/'
5) Now type the following commands in command prompt:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
(Once it fully transfers the ~24Mb, Continue)
adb shell
cd /system/framework/
rm framework-res.apk
Now, you have the framework-res.apk file on your computer's C Drive, and have removed it from your device. Close the command prompt.
6) Make a backup of this framework-res.apk file just in case this doesn't work for you, you can push your old framework back to your device.
7) Right click on the framework-res.apk file, and click "Open Archive"
-I don't recommend extracting it, then rebuilding it, as that caused boot loops for me. So, just open the archive so you can see the inside of the file
8) Click on the "resources.arsc" and delete it from the archive.
9) Drag the "resources.arsc" that I PROVIDED into the archive. It should give you a prompt, asking if you are sure to add it. Click Yes.
10) Exit out of 7zip. Now we need to push this file back on our device.
11) Upon up command prompt, and type the following commands:
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell
cd /system/framework/
chown 0.0 framework-res.apk
chmod 0644 framework-res.apk
This sets the permissions on the apk file, and pushes it to where it is supposed to be on your device.
12) Close command prompt, and on your device wipe cache/dalvik
13) Reboot
The first time you boot, it will take a little longer than normal. It may freeze for about 5 seconds when loading apps. Just give it a minute.
If you have waited longer than 5 minutes, then reboot into recovery and "Fix Permissions" and reboot again.
If it still doesn't work, then let me know and I'll post a guide on how to modify your own "resources.arsc" file from your own "framework-res.apk" file. You will have to repeat the above steps, deleting the "framework-res.apk" file on your device, and then pushing the "framework-res.apk" file that you had backed up back onto your device. Then everything should be back to how it was.
Let me know if this helped anyone! . I know that statusbar was driving me crazy, personally.
REMEMBER, because the status bar is no longer "Click-Able" - you can't pull it down anymore. You have to use PIE / Gestures / Apps to force pull it down in order to go to your Toggles, etc.
BUGS:
The only bugs I have experienced after a day with this MOD, is that once you use PIE / Gestures / Etc to pull down the notification bar, you can no longer push it back up by flinging it. Instead, you have to hit the "Back" button. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd mention it. I think if I adjust the DPI of my screen to account for the loss of the status bar (which had a width of 25 units), it may work again.

Reserved in case I add additional information

This is very interesting, but only something I would really want with the stock rom. I'll have to do some testing then....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I personally love it.
Here is how my screen looks with no status bar on a couple apps. I like the extra space.

It would be good with auto hide! !!!
