So does this mean the SystemUI in this version is able to decompile without errors? If so how exactly did you do this?
Thanks.

I used smali and allowed each APK to reference all of the .odex files in the framework, added the classes.dex files to their respective APKs, and zipaligned. I don't know if it matters, but I did those steps through the command line, although I'm sure the process would be a lot faster with a script. If you would like the exact line-by-line process that I used, let me know.

So how is this Rom & all I have to do is download & flash it or is there another step to do?

The procedures are the same as for other ZIP-based ROMs: download, transfer to phone, and flash through recovery. You may or may not need to erase your data (depending on which ROM you're coming from), but backing up your data beforehand is advisable and never hurts.
I haven't received any feedback regarding this specific ROM yet (I don't know if that's a good or bad sign). The main difference is that it's deodexed and will decompile without errors. I'm sure there are other threads with more in-depth information on IMM26 changes/improvements/issues.

SuperUser
I was impressed with this rom for the first few minutes I used it. But then I found out that my SuperUser app wasn't working. I tried updating the binaries through the app itself but it couldn't gain root access. I downloaded the file again and flashed it again but SuperUser still didn't work. It was the same problem with not gaining root access. So I flash the SuperUser zip file from zedomax's tutorial on rooting the Nexus S 4G and I was able to gain root access. Just thought I'd tell you.

mvilla, how did you fix the superuser root access problem? i am having the same problem when i try to update binary, and im getting permission error when i try to flash recovery in rom manager, i think is because of superuser not working.

I went to nexusshacks.com and downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file (I think that's what its called). There's a SuperUser.zip file within that zip file. I moved the file to my phone and flashed it in recovery (wipe cache and dalvik cache of course). And its working well.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Uploaded an updated version in the OP that addresses the Superuser issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This update is from ChainsDD's site and has the latest Superuser app and binary. Should accomplish the same thing.

Hey buddy, I'd LOVE to have the step-by-step, or line-by-line on the process you used to decompile. If you could PM me, or post it up here for everyone to use, that would be great!! I'm kinda new to the decompiling and compiling scene so any help would be great! Also, you said that most devs that use ICS probably use a kitchen to decompile and compile their .jar and .apk files, where is this kitchen? Or are you talking about Android SDK?

Did you ever get that step-by-step process for deodexing ICS from the OP? If so, can you send it to me?

I guess the Google Apps are included?

Will there be any further updates to this in the near future, or has this reached the end of the line so-to-speak? Just curious because I like having the natural AOSP of this.

Been using this since the 9th and I have to say it's very smooth. Very stock too, which obviously is what it's supposed to be. Just saying that for anyone who comes in looking for something customized. This is basically pure vanilla ICS.

Sorry for the delayed replies. I've been hammered by other obligations lately.

The stock Google apps are included. There are now two choices: One has the apps that were included in the IMM26 release (R3) and I have also included the latest app updates and related binary files as (R4).

I have replaced the Google apps that have been updated since the IMM26 release. There are rumblings that the official ICS ROM should be released sometime soon. I'm not holding my breath, but I'll offer the same thing to that release once it comes out.
If you're asking about adding functionality or features, I don't think I'd have anything unique to offer since there are so many other ROMs and customizable updates out already. I have considered including FaceLock functionality, but it adds quite a bit of size to the ROM and honestly, it hasn't worked very well for me. If there is enough interest, I'll include it as a separate revision in the future.

I'm getting a error for the media fire links. New link please?

[Q] Switch to superuser

So, given that SuperSU seems to be considered the more reliable root control app, why has PA switched to Superuser? This is really just to satisfy my curiosity, I don't mean any criticism in asking this.

Curious as well. The switch seems to have introduced a redundancy, i.e. SuperSU needing root from Superuser to give root access to apps already granted root by SuperSU. It's a bit confusing...

From the Nexus 4 thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51554340&postcount=49014

Awesome, thank you. A little further down from that post mentions that you can uninstall SuperSU from the Play store. Did just that, no more redundancy!
I don't know how you guys manage to sift through 49,000 posts, though...

Decide to give it all up is that why it's open source ?
More importantly who's fork have you decided to work with ?

[Q] Just quick question about G3 Tweaks and Xposed.

Hi! I have been figuring out how to root and setup my Sprint lgls990. I was able to root and get SU installed but now I really want to adjust/tweak the device with the G3 Tweaks App. It states that xposed framework is required also but I am not sure how to install or setup Xposed. Should I just install the Xposed APK then install the Tweaks app? No special instructions for the Sprint G3 or anything I should do first? Thanks for any help/advice!

download the xposed apk install it follow the steps(unknown sources and stuff)
then in xposed install framework and then reboot then in xposed go to modules and check g3tweakbox then go to the app and select what you want then reboot again

Thanks! I am going to give it a try soon as my TI backup is finished! I seen something about not using some tweaks with Sprint ls990 is this correct or just someone's bad luck/mistake? If so which tweaks to avoid? I won't bother you guys anymore after this! For awhile anyway! Lol! Thanks again!

[App] GS5 Native Hotspot Unlocker

This feels like it should go in development to me, so please feel free to move it mods, but since it is technically an app I am putting it here.
Graphics aren't very pretty but initial testing has been good, only one person having problems on gs5. This should theoretically work on any sprint phone, and I plan on adding support for more devices over time, and more features, but here is the first version.
General Directions:
You must be rooted
Click the first three buttons and reboot, then your native hotspot should work.
After the initial unlock you may need to re-click the unlock button from time to time, some updates overwrite the unlock
Add to notifications button works, and will only add when the panel is not already there.
I have had mixed reports about the tether packet counter being disabled, some people reported the hotspot goes down after 10-30 mins when you disable the packet counter.
I have plans of adding vpn support and enabling the button to start the hotspot from within this app, maybe even including my own hotspot framework like some of the other apps.
Just added a diagnostics and request support for my device in the settings menu, this will setup an email with some info I will need to help troubleshoot, just click send after its prepared.
Let me know what you guys think and if you run into any problems. And please by all means try it on different devices and click the request support option to send me the info, I would like to get this working universally.
This has been tested on NKD and NK4 successfully. NKD v2 ROM is known to have problems, if you can manually get a sqlite binary that works into /system/xbin/ the rest will work but it is advised to upgrade instead.
**NOTE**
Please be kind this is my first app I have released, and I do not consider myself a java developer by any means. If you want to help and contribute let me know...
***Big Thanks to the following people for donating***
@eevanskiteboards
***Update***
Just realized that my app is expecting the "which" binary to be there and functional, which is not always the case. This means that having busybox installed may be a pre-requisite for now
**Update 2***
Added 0.2 version, should hopefully work on Boost mobile.

Worked like a charm, many thanks!

It doesn't work with v2 because that version didn't have an android 5 compatible sql. I didn't find out until after it was released but it was corrected in the v3 version of the Android L leak I posted.

Interesting, good to know. The app downloads sqlite, but it switches on 5.0 and everything else. So i guess if it didnt like pie binaries that would explain it.

Yeah, it wasn't any fun trying to find a pie compatible sql but good to know its working. I know its always a WIP but I tried the app briefly, good job. Now if only we can get an OTA and a way to deodex Android 5 dependably, we'll be all set.

Deodex and decompile is close, I got pretty far but definitly still some work needed. I plan to build something into the app that will give you the option of dropping a modified services.jar into place so that you wont have to re-unlock when APNs are updated. Also a few more things as time allows.

Works great on sprint android 5.0 leak rom

Just an update, it seems the people who are having problems have all been related to a bad copy of sqlite so far. If you are having any issues please try to remove sqlite and use a different app to install it, or grab the binary directly, until I can get it worked out. To remove run as root via adb or a terminal emulator:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/xbin/sqlite3
mount -o remount,ro /system
Then get sqlite installed via the sqlite installer app in the playstore or manually download and install the proper binary. I will try to get things fixed up ASAP but with the holidays upon us it may take a few days.
Problematic roms seem to include NKD v2, 4.4.2 for gs5 sport, and a few other 4.x roms on the gs5.
There is still a lot of work to be done on this and I appreciate the effort from those who have tested, and those who provided feedback.
Thanks and happy holidays

Assuming root is working, try another method of installing sqlite. There is an app called sqlite installer in the playstore that should do the trick.

How to manually install SQLite
Lets try this. I am attaching two different versions (just to have) of SQLite. One is for 4.4.2 and the other is for 5.0 (Android L).
Unzip the one for 4.4.2 and using a Root Explorer like the one built into Rom Toolbox, copy it to system/xbin overwriting the one that is there if prompted.
Then long press on the file system/xbin/sqlite, select permissions and change it to 0755.
Note:
Flashable versions of SQLite added if you anyone needs them but must have custom recovery installed.

I wonder if NE5 uses the pie binary like 5.0? FWIW the app downlosds a pie binary for anything with a sys version of 5.0 or higher, and non pie for anything under 5.0. Whatever the case I have a user reporting a similar problem on the gs5 sport running 4.4.2, so maybe I just have a bad copy of the non pie binary but its hard to make that call since sqlite installer also installs something that seems not to work.
For the people having issues, can you also run sqlite from a terminal emulator or adb by issuing the following command:
su
/system/xbin/sqlite3
If the binary is bad it should return a message similar to segmentatuon fault.

I updated my post to include flashable zips. I 'think' the 5.0 pie version runs fine on 4.4.2 too but posted both anyway. Maybe add a link to the OP if you need to later on for manual and flashable versions with howto for manual installation.
Anyway, have a nice Xmas Mike.

Update:
BTW, I did flash something that relies on sql with the pie binary on NE5 and it did seem to take.

Controlling Applications at Boot? Alternative to Xposed BootManager?

Has anyone found a method of controlling which apps start at boot? The xposed module BootManager worked well, but what do you use with Nougat?
Thanks everyone!

Sadly, this isn't being offered in custom roms. I've requested it. I am using "All in One" Toolbox available in the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...box&pcampaignid=APPU_1_ftTNWOKcB4-9jwT_4KWYCA

I use SD Maid Pro, it's a must-have application from the Play Store. Allows you to force stop applications, stop applications from running on boot with root & much much more ! It's a great application I prefer it over boot manager. Also allows you to clean up excess junk in your device. Give it a shot it's an excellent application !

+1 to autostarts for Nougat.
Strangely I had already tried autostarts (indeed a classic), only to have it force close on me the first time I opened it. Reading your post made me think it must've been a fluke. I re-installed and indeed it worked just fine.
