I dont had a look at it, but im sure that exists a thread here with it. Im not sure it teaches, but surely is a change in the framework files (not sure if its just the apk)

There does exist a thread where a guy has posted NOTE 3 water colour effect but.......ge hasn't taught how to port it. I know something has to be changed in framework but I have no idea ,what has to changed and where. That's why I asked you regarding that.

Im downloading the fix you said for s3, will try to figure it out what must be done, but expect not much as im no developer
Maybe the porter (@Arsaw) answer you more clearly
Edit: after a fast look, you need to mod framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar plus another Files pushed to media/audio/ui and a permission file in etc/permissions.
Contact the original dev to have more further assistence

Brother ..... lol.....u can't even imagine how many times did I ask not even him but also many others on how to port Water colour effect but none of them responded. Idk why the guides *HOW-TO* are getting more and more less on xda. People are not giving them any more attention.
Coming towards the files which are needed to mod. I know which files are to be modded but I don't know what has to be modded inside them. Like in framework idk after decompiling what I have to do.
Hope you got what I mean.

I imagined you've already tried to contact them.. And yes, i do understand what you mean. I have disassembled android.policy.jar using THIS. I think you need to disassemble your original one and place some files of the modded one, the files i think will do the trick are below (in disassembled android.policy.jar):
** in com\android\internal\policy\impl\keyguard\sec
all the "WaterColorRenderer" ones
inkeffect folder
all the "LensFlareView" ones for lens flare
** the one hand ones are suposed to be in com\android\internal\policy\impl\sec
Maybe that do the trick, you can try this, recompile (in that tutorial have this part too) and push it to your phone. If you don't get a bootloop, probably the thing left to mod is framework-res, but this one i don't know what to do - yet
Some things i still don't know:
- how do the options appear in the lockscreen effect options menu
- i think its not in framework-res, because yesterday i messed up with my rom, replaced framework-res with one that hasn't light effect but the option was still there. But when i selected it, got bootloop
I want to figure it out too, if you made a progress, please let me know

Brothet thanks for your support and concern. Well there is much more to place in android.policy.jar and in framework as well. This would take us ages to figure out what has to be done in order to get water colour effect. Only the developers can tell us.
brother I already contacted arsaw but couldn't get any response. Can you ask him maybe he may respond you.
Thanks once again.

Added universal version, intended to work on every i9305 4.3 roms. Please test and give feedback.

Here is a pair of screenshots of my i9305 running TGP 16.01 with your theme. It also has the S5 fonts, Note 3 keyboards, sounds, bootanimation, and themed sms app and S5 launcher. It works flawlessly!
If I could I would make a whole update package.

I have given him proper credits, but ok, I'll take his permission too...
i appreciate the hardwork u have done but should ask permission first.. i tried porting one theme and i am using it but the aurthor didnt give permison to distribute as he will port it him self. Sort of a repect to their hardwork
cheers mate
As i already said, i will make the port the next week. Please remove this, as i will release the project fully working here on xda. I dont know.why is.so hard to respect a developers decision...
I dont think anyone dies one week+beside that you should ask me before you post it.

[REQ] Stock Theme with 8 Lockscreen Mod

8/9/11 - 10 PM: Since the mod itself is very deep in the framework-res code, the request has been changed to a stock theme with ONLY the 8 Lockscreen mod. At least this way, anyone who feels bold enough to overlay their own themes onto this modded base may do so.
I greatly appreciate maddoggin's on the 8 Lockscreen mod, but I just don't want to change the theme settings that I have now (plus piling themes on top of one another gave me phone problems). All I want is the mod itself, no status bars, no themes, no icon changes, just the mod.
That is, unless someone can tell me what do modify from maddoggin's initial theme to leave just the lockscreen mod.

Would do it myself but just not sure enough on what I'm doing.

the mod is baked into framework-res... which would make it impossible to get the mod without changing half of your theme (battery icons, notifications, window frames anything that resides in framework-res) in other words you would need to do it individually for each theme.

Exactly... But if anyone would take the time (not me) it may be possible to do with metamorph.... Maybe not 100% sure tho.

thats true.. if anybody wants to try taking a gingerbread metamorph for framework-res and adding the xmls and required images to it. i got it to work once for froyo with window animations... i dont run ginger so i wont be able to mess around with this one.

Does that mean that it's like the CRT mod or is the appropriate code even deeper than that? Should I just aim my request directly at maddoggin, then?
In that case how about a request for a stock theme with the lock mod, crt and overscroll.

While that solution does work for me, it may not work for someone else who desires a non-stock theme (again, layering multiple themes can cause problems which means a data wipe is needed). Ideally, maddoggin could release the code for modding framework-res so all the themers can successfully integrate it, but if worst comes to worst (and it's programming, so it often does), then I'll change the request to a modded stock theme.

He has man. Not every theme has incorporated it. The easy way to do it is to swap in your preferred images.
Cd's or tapes?
I haven't seen a code release thread anywhere for it. I did a search for it, but all I have seen is various theme threads giving credit.
So if we were to try and "snatch and replace" just the 8 ls mods...inside fr res...what would these 8..be called in the folder becaue i am dying to try...gettin bored with 6 lol?? I been puttin all kinds of themes together to get where i am now..why stop? Thanks in advance..

i dont know why people think there is "code" or "source" to be released! i understand you may want to do this your self and use how ever you want to use i truly understand that! thats how it all started for me i saw other samsung phones with this mod and told my self why doesnt the epic have it andd i requested and requested untill i just said "**** IT" imma do it myself! well you want to know how i did it! theres no damn "source" or speciail magic trick or even a guide on how to do it! i grabbed the mod from 3 different phones dude! the fascinate, galaxy 19000 and the captivate. and i searched the forums and figured out how to make it all work on our phone! thats how it was done! no source no tricks! of course i got help from the guys i dl the mods from but thats it! so im sorry the lock mod isnt exactly to your liking dude and anyone else for that matter. but if you want something done try searching around the forums and figure out how to do it yourself otherwise shut the **** up, quit whinning and be happy that have 8 damn locks to choose from at all!
I can understand your frustation Maddoggin. I don't think he intended to upset you. I think he simply would like someone to teach him what mods were necessary to implement this into a stock theme template. As you described it is a lengthy and arduos task to pull from many sources. I think he simply hopes you will share you modifications to the framework-res that implement this so that he can either create a stock theme template or someone else can. Guys please be sure to not hound our devs. We have seen enough move on to other phones. Maddoggin has every right to say no and someone can do what he did or we can simply try to persuade him to help you learn more.

I am always open to help someone out that's has never been a problem I help those who ask for help! But I won't walk you through the whole process! You WILL learn or you WILL give up! All you have to do is open up my files! You want to know the source is! The source is the s5tock files! That's the damn source! You compare my files with the stock ones and get the difference! That's the mod! What some people are asking for is for me to give them only the files needed for the mod! That's ****ing ridiculouse! That would take me more time to do than it did to make it work on our phone! There are so many files modded it would be almost impossible and in anycase this mod isn't mine to give away it belongs to the man who created it and he will be of less help than me trust me!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
When I update my files to the new leak (when a deodexed rom is posted) I will make a stock version of the mod nothing else no battery % nothing just plain stock version! That's the best I can do! Sorry for getting frustrated! But I put in allot of time making this mod work on each release and I don't get paid for it **** my wife is mad at me cause I spend more time on this mod than I do with her! Lmao! So yeah it gets frustrating when you hear someone isn't happy with your work! Sorry!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Maddoggins right... I respect this guy. He's to the point and does what he wants but he's nice if you need any help... the only reason he's pissed is because people have asked about this thousands of times in his thread and if you want it then make it.

[MOD] No screen/page indicator (TouchWiz) and drop down Carrier-remove

Hi!
Just wanted to share this tiny mod that my "user" reggaetonero suggested. Get rid of thoose dots on screen (Screen/page indicator). The mod does only that and won't touch anything else.
Acutally gave a clean look, like it a lot. Don't need thoose dots, I know what screen I'm at anyway
just download and flash in recovery. Tested and working on XXELLC, but should work on LL4/5/and so on.
File in attachment or on my OP post #3. Now we have a screenshot in post #3 thanks to "D"
Adding one more, this one removes the carrier logo in notification dropdown.
The only thing, SystemUI that carrier-remove is built upon is a 23T modded version. So I can't gurante function on stock, if it fails I can make one for stock SystemUI.
EDIT: Added one that is built upon a stock SystemUI (no 23T in other words), so if systemui FC's , try the ST version insted. This only applies to carrier-remove of course.
:good: gotta try it out
Wow very nice, thanks +1
see you my Screenshot.

You lost me there. Does the touchwiz mod work, but not carrier?
What the touchwiz mod does is actually just graphic, it replaces stock "dot" with totally invisible one. So there is no code involved, so dedodex or odex shouldn't matter.. So i haven't got a real good answer on that.

will post back in some minutes

That is really wiered..
The app involved are as you said, /system/app/SecLauncher2.apk , then inside that app, /res/drawable-xhdpi/ , 3 files, pageindicator.9.png and 2 others. That's all.. works for others, so it's nothing wrong with it. By why on eart won't your device realise it.. a wipe dalvik needed perhaps..
And thanks Not all mods are coding for hours and 400 FC's.. sometimes it's pretty easy (many times too easy to realise it), like this one, wasn't me who came up with the idea, it was a dude that uses my ROM who suggested it.

[ROM][TW][GB27] build-a-rom 6/30/13 [deodexed][4.1.2]

build-a-rom​
This is not a daily driver. If you have never been on a TW JB deodexed stock ROM, then this is not for you. Flashing this ROM will boot up to the following stock, unmodified apps as packaged by Sprint: If it is not listed here then it is not included:
Phone, Contacts, Settings, Internet, Sprint Hotspot, Play Store.
Also included are ROM Toolbox Lite (jrummy), SuperSU (chainfire), and erikalin-stock app. This ROM flashes Agat63’s v1.3.0 kernel, and it has the boot animation from the S3, sound removed.
The pure Stock GB27 TW ROM zip is 507MB. Build-a-ROM is 242MB.​
Why try out build-a-rom?
We have always been able to flash the nice custom ROMs on here, flash the mods we like which other people have figured out and packaged into flashable zip files for us, and just enjoy the phone. And you should keep doing that, and click the thanks button all over the place while you do it. Build-a-ROM is for you to give some of this a shot for yourself. There are exactly two stock apk files left in here that you can delete and still boot to a phone, and that is the browser and the play store.
What can I do with build-a-rom?
The work for build-a-rom comes in two categories:
(1) Easy: Installing custom mods and apps that are already available for you. This involves either flashing a prepackaged zip file, or pushing an app into the system/app/ folder, setting permissions to 0644 (RW-R--R--) and rebooting. You can go get whatever mods and apps and tweaks and kernels that you want. I’m not naming any of them because I didn’t include any of them. You know what they are. Go nuts. Make sure they are made for deodexed GB27 TW ROM for our device. There’s nothing in the way here. It’s a blank slate. If you don’t know how to do these things, use the site search. There are a zillion guides of people telling how to push an app into the system partition, set permissions, and reboot. And flashable zips are flashed in recovery. The recovery in build-a-rom is fine for flashing mods. Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash one mod per session to be safe, reboot.
(2) Do the first part first. This is a little more advanced but still not difficult. Learn how to decompile and recompile apk files. There are easy-to-use & free programs that allow you to do so. I just typed: "how to decompile apk files” (without quotes) into xda search and got 92,400 results. The benefit of learning these basic tools is that you can then follow the guides on xda. You know all of those things we’re used to having automatically in a custom ROM? ... tabbed settings, extended power menu, transparent things, hacked things, colored things, pretty toggles… etc etc... you can make them, and a lot more, by hand on your own. There are guides. You don't have to beg someone else to make the mod you want for you. You don’t even have to figure it out. You literally copy-and-paste from the guides in which other people have figured out & explained exactly what to modify. No, it’s not “development” but it’s something to feel like an accomplishment you can be proud of.
Want transparent stock toggles? Want to rearrange them? Want to put your toggles down on the bottom of your pull-down and use the top space for notifications? Search XDA for the guides. These are quick mods... You'll be amazed at what you can do. You can build this up to 100% your dream ROM – starting from a blank slate so you can feel good about the end result.
Thanks​ @kobridge – for pure stock GB27 deodexed ROM as base: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38923705#post38923705
@tdunham – for the guide on how to make the extended power menu. Check it out. This is a model for what I’m talking about with how clear and straightforward a guide can be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125196. This is the one modification I think I left in here for the version of build-a-rom that I am sharing.
@g_ding84 – for suggestions and being nice
@bigmike6200 – for testing earlier version of build-a-rom
@agat63 – for kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244781
@bilgerryan – for modeling how to click the thanks button appropriately
crawrj - for hacked native hotspot, used with permission (if this is included - I need someone to verify that this ended up in this build or not)
Why say thanks?
Can you even guess at how many people have downloaded and used noobnl’s EL29 direct boot to CWM zip?? It's probably well over 10,000. There are 40 thanks on that post. Ridiculous. And tdunham’s JB Format All X 2 zip?? At the time of my typing this, there are 7454 downloads of that script, and 125 thanks. Also ridiculous. So many people give so many hours of their time making things for us to enjoy. Click the buttons, folks, please.
Install instructions
- Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for your choices. Etc.
- Make a backup.
- Before you do anything further please read my disclaimer below.
- Directboot into EL29 CWM recovery. Thank noobnl: here.
- Flash tdunham’s JB.Format_All_X2.zip. Thank tdunham here
- Flash BAR-V1.0.zip.
- Reboot
Disclaimer: The mods and apps and guides and tutorials on XDA are everywhere. Use the site search. I cannot possibly answer your questions on implementing any of those changes. Some of those guides have hundreds of posts of Q&A for just one certain modification. Read them. I assure you that whatever question or problem you have, it's addressed already on xda. Search and read. I’m giving you a stable blank slate called build-a-rom. It comes with nine apps and it works. You take it from here. I want to be clear upfront what I can and cannot support. I can support this ROM, which is build-a-rom and its nine apps. So, for example, if you have a question about how to make a phone call, ask. The building part is really up to you. Browse XDA. The amount of information is astounding... If you’re not sure what you’re doing, then don’t use build-a-rom. If I knew all the answers to all of your questions, I’d answer them. I don’t.

First. Looks fun. I continued my modeling lol.
Just gonna say, this will make a great base for anyone wanting to (dare I say) build a ROM to release (always ask permission first). And with it only being 242 MB it leaves a little room to play.
@erikalin might wanna add a note in there that EL29 can't flash modems and to flash the JB modem after boot if not already on one.

Thanks. ^ Yeah, I intentionally started the OP with, "If you have never been on a TW JB deodexed stock ROM, then this is not for you," to cover that sort of thing. It would make a good base. There's a ton of room. I just listed my E4GT on swappa, so this is all from me... Rooting my new-to-me S3 as we type.

Not promising anything, but I'm thinking of ditching 3Minit and go with a full on Xposed XPERIAnce (pun intended). Takes up a lot less space and has some different features (like using AOSP Themes on TouchWiz)

Hi, bigmike6200,
What is it about transparent apps that attracts? All of team blackout stuff works on JD's ROM, so I'd imagine they'd work on this gem. Their paid app is worth the two bucks.
Beyon a few nuggets from the GS2 international version, I've tried to find what I can, and most seems attached to Omega and similar ROMS. Once taken out, they don't work in isolation. Even the older items created by current team blackout members are gone. I managed to get Speed Test and a few others, but now the links are dead. Would love stock SMS, calculator, etc.
Time for me to learn this process.
Congrats, Erika, and thanks for this and all you've done.

Of course - inverted/transparent apps are good. Install according to however the person who modded it says for each one one.

I'm not bigmike, but I have to say that I love transparent everything. I made almost 40 build-a-rom projects for myself, starting from essentially the version 1.0 I have shared here each time, and trying different things out. In some of them I made everything transparent, although I did learn that semi transparent is often what is necessary. Making the backs of the stock toggles themselves transparent too was fun. There's something pleasing about the transparency and, for me, neon green #ff00ff00. I colored all the stock system app icons with my neon green too, etc. :good: Anyway, micmars, you will learn and invert the stock system apps to share. Cheers, bud!
Thanks!

You, also, Erika! Thanks for the encouragement. I think I found a lot of slimeball themed apps in one of the members of TBO's threads. Have to agree on the semi transparent observation. The Speed Test app to which I referred looks way better in the semi transparent variant.
Cheers,
Mike

Sorry, bud, but I'm not sure whether you meant to ask a question or just make this statement? If you meant to ask a question, feel free to reply back. To take a guess at it: build-a-rom comes with nine apps, and gallery isn't one of them. You'd need that. Or if this is a metro pcs thing, I don't know anything about Metro PCS. Try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912451
Edit:
Can someone check this out?
If somebody can check this out for me. because I already wiped and packed up my E4GT:
Is the Sprint hotspot app in here crawrj's hacked hotspot or Sprint stock? I *had asked and received* permission to include crawrj's hacked hotspot but I had decided that I didn't want to include it in this base after all. But... did I forget to take it back out before uploaded? Lol... If someone can let me know that'd be great. I'll modify the OP pending a confirmation on this... Thanks X 3.

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I noticed the rom don't come with message so I try to use Epic4gtouch-jbfk23-metropcs-mms-fix-signed but it didn't give me the option to attach a pic. Any help will be appreciated. Newbie here.

You might want to just go with another rom. That's not meant to sound unwelcoming, lol, not at all. But it's intentional that this ROM is empty. It's for folks who want to build it from a blank slate. Like I said I don't know how metropcs works so I have no idea what works for you. But stuff isn't in here for a reason. That's why I put in the OP that if you're new to JB TW this probably isn't the rom for you... This isn't a slim rom. It's an incomplete rom. You know?

Tablet UI transparent status/sys bar HELP

Ok guys,
Im going to post this in every Note 2 variant forum until I can figure this out.. I mmanaged to get a working transparent status/systembar on my note 2 on tablet UI.. the only problem being that my phone totally locked up and being the DUMB a$$ that I am I did create a backup.. reflashed a rom and thought I could recreate it.. I have located what I think the files name is and it is tw_status_bar_background.9.png. Now when I try to recreate it the status bar becomes all distored when pressing something.. I will show you pictures below of it working and it NOT working.. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.. I am not asking anyone to give me a step by step but more of just yes thats the right file or no thats not it..
PS the black line you see at the bottom of first pic is bc the wallpaper is not scaled properly, which can be fixed..

well, i have started to mod my phone with tablet ui for more than a year but still yet to release anything athough i am using it on daily basis from note -> s3 -> note2 now. however, since the updates were rolled out quite frequently in the last year, i had to switch to new firmwares and redo/rewrite the changes accordingly because there were quite a lot of fundamental changes recently. this process is time consuming especially i employed some parts of firmwares from other devices as well as the custom features i added. so, i am not sure when i can release something since i modded the kernel and the rom as well in my own way which compromises the usual practice in terms of structure and so forth. that means i have to make sure it is compatible with other roms first, and then i must ensure i have time to solve and fix users problems
