Thx, but i cant find another app with the name "com.sonyericsson.home.apk" in that directory

Could u get what i mean??

How I can take it if the ROM is zip?
Someone please?
unzip it, then you'll have the apk files in the system/app directory
take the ones you need and place them in the correct direcoty with correct permitions with the use of root explorer

Hi,
Uhm.. i think. Thats the standard myfiles from s3.. the one on the note has check boxes at the sides of the files,

You can try this if you want.
I attached the version that comes with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and the one from Jelly Bean 4.1.2 :victory:
For install:
1° Download .zip file
2° Extract .apk file
3° Put it onto your mobile device
4° Using Root Explorer (or any other app of your preference like it) move it to system/app
5° Change permissions to "rw - r - - r - -" (Clic here for see an image)
6° Reboot
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

The one from JB 4.1.2 is the one coming from Note 2, just make sure that after paste it on system/app you change the permissions! then reboot.

is it possible to completely replace launcher

Hi,
can seem to find it, is it possible to completely remove and replace default launcher of given mod? ie trebuchet in CM9?
u can use another launcher as default so u dont c trecuchet at all but if u wanna remove the app completely then i assume u shall put the other desired launcher in the system/app to make sure ur system wont crash if smthn goes wrong in the data partition

it doesn't reply at all, is it possible to replace default launcher or not?
Yes. You just need to install another launcher and set it as default.
Download the apk of the launcher you want to use as the replacement
Go to /system/app
Remove the Rom's Launcher. EX: CM9-10/Trebuchet, MIUI/MIUI Home
Add the apk you downloaded earlier, set permissions for that apk to rw-r-r
Reboot and enjoy
And if you're just asking if it would crash the rom or not...........Then No, it won't crash or mess up anything

At the apk press and hold until the options pop up and than choose permissions then check the box like a inverted L.

[MOD] "M" unlocked ring

I don't really know where to post it .so, I decided to create a new thread for this...

It works fine on my XT1032 ...retal.en.US. Any other Phones (XT10xx) or firmwares (...retail.en.XX or GPE) - I don't know will it work or not.
I highly recommend anyone do copy of your Keyguard.apk (/system/priv-app) before flashing this.
If you wanna do the same for your phone:
copy Keyguard.apk from your phone on your PC
download M[1].zip , find Keyguard.apk. Open it. Find ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png and extract it.
Open yours Keyguard.apk via 7.zip (WinRar etc), and replace ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png with mine without compressing
Replace Keyguard.apk in M[1].zip with yours and flash it.

yes, I just replaced ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png in Keyguard.apk
Battery icon was modified by gravitibox (root + xposed framework + gravitybox module). But I think it's not so hard to do a circle battery mod manually.

Guys seriously it's the gravitybox module even xblast could do it as we all know, the thread ain't about his circle battery. It's made for the "M" unlocker and I'm giving it a shot later on. Thanks mate.

Do you have a black screen instead of lockscreen or just nothing changed? @uberano26 Try this one. It was modified by vitamerlan for xt1033 asia.retail
Not a black screen but no lockscreen altogether, also the home button stopped working for some reason.
That works to some extent, the M shows but then the on screen keys starts behaving erratically.
