*THESE MODS ARE FOR AURORA! USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK ! SEARCH THIS THREAD FOR BAD REPORTS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ! SAY THANKS IF EVERYTHING GOES OK !*
*REMEMBER TO REBOOT YOUR PHONE IF YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES AT YOUR /SYSTEM/ FOLDER WITH A ROOT EXPLORER, IN ORDER FOR THE CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT
REMEMBER ALSO TO SET THE SAME PERMISSIONS AS THE OTHER FILES OF THE FOLDER YOU EDITED
IT IS SUGGESTED TO WIPE CACHE & DALVIK CACHE BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING
CWM 5.5.0.4 IS RECOMMENDED FOR FLASHING THESE MODS*
YOU MAY ALSO SEE THIS VERY USEFUL THREAD
ALL MODS UPDATED TO 5.0 (and compatible with any of the small updates, since they don't interfere with SystemUI, framework or android.policy.jar)
WAKEUP-WITH-VOLUME-KEYS:
UPDATE: Do you want this mod for your official 2.3.5?? See here
Hi there. I've modified a file of the dzo's aurora release in order to enable the "wakeup with volume keys" feature, when the phone is locked. I've been using it since the 1.6 dzo's release without having any problems and it has been tested also by other users without a problem yet. As many of us are having trouble with the nearly dead power button I think it may be useful. I have to pinpoint that this modification is NOT AN OPTION. IT IS PERMANENT. The only way to disable it is to reflash a regular (dzo's) aurora release, older, the same or newer, it doesn't matter or to flash the attached "stock_android.policy_(xxx)_flashable.zip" file.
So... the file that needs replacement is the /system/framework/android.policy.jar. As long as dzo doesn't make any changes to that file you can replace it without any problem at any aurora release. If any change is made I will update a new patch.
I suggest the following procedure to apply it:
1) Download the Aurora release you want.
2) Open the aurora_xx.zip file you've downloaded.
3) Navigate to /system/framework/ folder
3) Drag and drop inside that folder the "android.policy.jar" from the flashable zip attached. Replace if asked.
4) Flash the new .zip as usual.
Alternatively, you can try coping the android.policy.jar file with a root explorer to the same folder from your phone. Users have confirmed that this method works ok. I suggest the flashing method described above though.
EDIT: Flashable version added at the attachments. Flash it through clockworkmod normally. Thanks to sks976.

ADDING SYSTEM APPLICATIONS:
Some other changes you can do is to add the applications you want at the /system/app/ folder. After flashing or copying, these application would be "system applications" and the only way to remove them is to delete their xxxxx.apk file from the /system/app/ folder of your phone. You can do that easily with a file explorer with root permissions (ex. Root Explorer). So these applications better be worth it. I do that for Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher. IF YOU COPY THEM MANUALLY REMEMBER TO SET THE CORRECT PERMISSIONS (rw-r--r--) AND REBOOT!

REMOVING SYSTEM APPLICATIONS:
You can also remove applications that you don't want from any rom, simply by deleting their xxxx.apk file from the /system/app/ folder of the rom's flashable .zip or from inside the phone (after flashing) with a root file manager. Just be careful with which you remove, because it may be important for the system to work properly. Here is a list of POSSIBLE unwanted applications. I haven't tested all of them, but there are reports that removing them won't harm anything. It's up to you.
OpenWnn.apk (Japanase IME) - safe to remove if you want
PinyinIME.apk (Chinese IME) - safe to remove if you want
BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk (Google's backup and restore - see settings->Backup & reset)
SharedStorageBackup.apk
WAPPushManager.apk (process incoming WAP Push messages, supported by your provider) - safe to remove if you want
PermissionToAccessLocApi.apk
PrivInit.apk
com.android.inputmethod.pinyin.apk
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk (sync's your bookmarks from pc chrome if installed) - safe to remove if you want
Email.apk - If you use only Gmail)
Exchange.apk - If you use only Gmail)
Feedback on more apks and descriptions much appreciated!!

vold.fstab - CHANGE THE DEFAULT SDCARD: -thanks to julle131
There is this file named vold.fstab at your /system/etc/ folder, which controls which of your sdcards (Internal/External) will be mounted when you connect your phone to the PC. The last 2 lines are the only that matter. These are the two possibilities:
EXTERNAL SDCARD MOUNTED (DEFAULT):
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard1 14 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host
INTERNAL SDCARD MOUNTED:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 14 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host
change them as you wish with a root explorer or before flashing.
Record Videos in .mp4 file format
I edited the /system/etc/media_profiles.xml in order to record all videos in .mp4 file format. Download it and replace the stock one on your phone with it. Remember to set the same permissions and reboot.
mp4_media_profiles.xml
Speedup wifi speeds - thanks to sbasil for the patch
Some reported that this works some didn't. Just try it if you have wifi speed problems. You can find the patch here
It replaces the /system/etc/firmware/wlan/qcom_cfg.ini file. The only difference from the original is at this line:
gDynamicPSPollvalue=5
that is commented out like this:
#gDynamicPSPollvalue=5
so you can do this change manually.
Ad-Blocking hosts
There is a file inside /system/etc/ folder named "hosts" which is responsible for blocking incoming links from the web. This can be used to filter out annoying ads from inside an app or at the browser. Flash normally without wipes. It's permissions must be rw-r--r--
download
If you want the default flash this

GENERAL GUIDES
GPS FIXES
CHANGE THE GPS SERVER - gps.conf:
There is a file at your system/etc/ folder named gps.conf. This file has information for your GPS in order to work properly. If you open this file the first lines look like this:
#Test
#NTP_SERVER=time.gpsonextra.net
#Asia
NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
#Europe
# NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
#North America
# NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
These are the servers your gps is communicating with. By default a server at asia is chosen (everything after a '#' symbol is a comment and isn't "executed"). So if you are in europe you should change the default server to be the european one for better behaviour of the gps. I always do this change and my gps works good and locks really fast. So this is how you should change these lines for the european server (you can use any root explorer to open the file as text):
#Test
#NTP_SERVER=time.gpsonextra.net
#Asia
#NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
#Europe
NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
#North America
# NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
and for the american:
#Test
#NTP_SERVER=time.gpsonextra.net
#Asia
#NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
#Europe
# NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
#North America
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
CHANGE THE GPS INTERMEDIATE_POS - gps.conf: ON 2.03test DZO MADE THIS CHANGE - THANKS
Do this only if you have problems with gps.
Inside the /system/etc/gps.conf file you will find a line
INTERMEDIATE_POS=1
change it to
INTERMEDIATE_POS=0
save and exit. Report if it works for you...
ADD YOUR BOOT ANIMATION:
It is very simple to add your own boot animation. Just copy/replace the desired bootanimation.zip file to /data/local/ with a root explorer. Set the permissions to rwxrwxr-x and reboot.... Done! This will not delete your stock bootanimation, it just replaces it. To revert delete or rename the file you pasted...
To find boot animations search google for "ICS Bootanimations" or "Android Bootanimations" and you will find many of them. If the file you find is a flashable .zip DON'T FLASH unless it's compatible for U8800. If it is for another phone (for ex Nexus), just extract the bootanimation.zip file from it and do the procedure described above! Make sure that the file you paste is named exactly "bootanimation.zip", else it won't work.
Here is a boot animation developing thread for dzo's aurora releases. Credits to kostasvr :

CONNECT TO AD-HOC HOTSPOTS GUIDE - FOR ANY ANDROID VERSION:
I finally figured out how to connect to ad-hoc hotspots (hotspots from your pc) since android has disabled this, by filtering out the ad-hoc networks from the list. The best way to do this is to recompile the wpa_cli file removing this filtering but since I have no idea how to do that I found another way to bypass it. The idea is to manually create the profile of your wifi inside your phone and let it connect automatically! In order to do that you need a root file manager to edit the file : /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.
Lets say the ad-hoc wifi you have created is called MyWiFi and it has no password. Here is the guide:
0) Disable your wifi
1) Goto /data/misc/wifi/ and open wpa_supplicant.conf as text
2) Add this entry somewhere:
network={
ssid="MyWiFi"
mode=1
frequency=2412
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=50
}
set priority as you wish. Wifi connects automatically to the lowest available profile
3) enable your wifi and let it connect automatically!!!!
If you need encryption to your wifi (WARNING: only plaintext and static WEP) you have 2 ways:
1) Add at your wifi sharing options on your PC, MAC address filtering and enter the MAC address of your mobile. This way only your mobile would be able to connect to your wifi and no changes are needed at your phone.
OR 2) Set a WEP encryption code from your computer and add these lines inside the {...} of the above code:
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
pairwise=NONE
group=TKIP
psk="secret passphrase"
I haven't tested it but it should work. Report if it does or not!
This entry wont be deleted until you do a FULL WIPE or delete it manually...
This is not only for Aurora, it is for any AOSP android which has ad-hoc filtering. But since MIUI and CM have this disabled I post it here and added it at the name of the thread.
BEWARE. WHEN THE PHONE IS CONNECTED TO AN AD-HOC NETWORK (MAYBE ALSO WHILE WIFI IS ON AND AT STANDBY) IT WON'T ENTER TO "DEEP-SLEEP" STATE NORMALLY, CAUSING GREATER BATTERY LOSS. I don't know why this is happening but it is a known problem!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will support this thread with any other fixes-updates-tips-mods I find.
Thank you very much and CREDITS TO DZO FOR HIS WORK!
Enjoy!
Cheers

AURORA ICS- "wake with volume keys" + mods/addons + Connect to ad-hoc hotspots guide
As promised, this is a complete guide on how to edit apk files. It is not only for AURORA. It is a general guide!
TOOLS YOU NEED
- apktool (It can handle .jar files too)
OR
- apkManager: Uses apktool to decompile and compile apks but offers easier UI and other options, such as signing apk. Rcommended!
You can find any of the above tools for your platform (linux, Windows, MacOs) at google or at xda threads.I won't put any links here because there are many editions. Find what works for you best. Attached you can find the version of apkManager I use (only linux compatible, and with some fixes).
UPDATE! New version (4.3.1) added that supports decompiling framework-res.apk! Enjoy!
MOD APKS
To edit any apk you need to decompile it. This process will create some folders which include the .xml files, the icons and the .smali files of the apk. The .smali code is a pain in the ass to understand but it is the only "safe" way to decompile and recompile an apk without destroying it. To edit an apk you have to do the following:
STEP 1: You need the framework-res.apk of the rom you are editing, because it contains necessary information for the apktool to decompile or compile. Copy the framework-res.apk of the rom and paste it at the same folder with apktool (if you are using apkManager, apktool is inside its "other" folder; copy it there)
STEP 2: Open a terminal/command line and navigate at the directory of the apktool
STEP 3: type this command
Code:
./apktool if framework-res.apk
This will install the framework-res.apk to your system. In linux it installs it at ~/apktool/ . I don't know for windows .
STEP 3: Decompile an apk. Lets say you want to decompile the SystemUI.apk.
If you use apkManager copy SystemUI.apk (or any apk you want to decompile/compile) at the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder and run the Script.sh and you will easily find how to decompile, compile and sign the apk.
If you are using apktool copy SystemUI.apk (or any apk you want to decompile/compile) at the same place with apktool and execute this at terminal
Code:
./apktool d SystemUI.apk
and you will find at the same directory a folder with the name of the apk you decompiled and all of its files inside.
STEP 4: Edit anything you want to edit!
STEP 5: Recompile...
With apkManager follow the on screen instructions of the Script.sh and also sign the apk. You will find the apk ready at the "place-apk-here-for-modding" with the the name "repackaged-signed.apk". Rename it as the original and you are ready to rock.
With apktool execute this command:
Code:
./apktool b SystemUI/
SystemUI is the folder of the decompiled apk. It could be any other apk name instead. After that you will find a folder named "dist" inside the SystemUI folder and inside of it a an .apk file which is the new .apk with your changes. In order to sign your apk you need some extra tools. You can search the web on how to sign an apk. I don't know what are the consequences of using an unsigned apk. Probably it would work ok but I haven't tried it.
STEP 6: You are ready to put the new apk at your phone. Remember if you are replacing a system apk to set the correct permissions after pasting.
Cheers

AURORA ICS- "wake with volume keys" + mods/addons + Connect to ad-hoc hotspots guide
How to Change Battery in ICS ROM - thanks to fergie716 and his guide here
After you got apktool all set up with ICS resources installed get the SystemUI.apk from your ICS ROM, decompile it.
Make sure you have installed framework-res.apk in apktool prior to decompiling ICS apks
Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder, go to /res/drawable-hdpi/
This is where the battery png's are in ICS. Copy/paste your battery png's. To make it more easy, make sure your png's follow the pattern (stat_sys_battery_1.png, etc)
If you plan on changing the png's for charging animation make sure you have the correct png's named stat_sys_battery_charge_anim0.png etc
(optional) Delete leftover battery png's, if any, from stock ICS
Once all your png's are in place, you need to modify the corresponding xml's
Those are found in SystemUI/res/drawable/stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
The first is responisble for the look of the battery while discharging and the second while charging. The form of them is like: When battery=20% show stat_sys_battery_20.png (random example). if you have percentage icons with all the values (0-100) you need to have a stat_sys_battery.xml like the attached named "stat_sys_battery_allpercentage.xml.zip".
For the charging images you can keep the stock stat_sys_battery_charge.xml or you can create a new based on the stock in order to show all percentages (if icons are provided). Attached you will find a charging animation .xml named "stat_sys_battery_charge_allpercentage_anim.xml.zip" which needs charging icons for all percentages in order to work properly.
If you have made mistakes at one of the .xml files the build will probalby fail or you will lose the battery icon. Your phone will work ok though and a flash of the stock SystemUI.apk will fix everything. You can decompile and use .xml files from other SystemUI.apk as long as the filenames match.
Now that you have your png's and xml's in place, go back and recompile.
How to Enable Lockscreen Rotation (ICS) - thanks to fergie716 and his guide here
-decompile framework-res.apk using apktool
-navigate to decompiled folder, go to /res/values/bools.xml
-change "config_enableLockScreenRotation" to "true"
-recompile framework-res.apk
HOW TO CENTER CLOCK - thanks to fergie716 and his guide here
-decompile your SystemUI.apk
-navigate to your decompiled folder and go to res>layout>status_bar.xml
-look for this line:
Code:
-press "enter" to create an empty line
-place your cursor at the beginning of that empty line and paste this line of code:
Code:
-make sure everything lines up (see the attached xml below)
-lastly, find this line:
Code:
name="notification_header_bg">
#00000000 would be fully transparent, #ff000000 is fully opaque.
[SIZE="5"][B]Lockscreen animation - thanks to fjsferreira for the guide[/B][/SIZE]
decompile framework-res.apk
go to res/values/bool.xml
change line
[CODE]true
to
Code:
false
Disable Unlock-with-menu-key - implemented by dzo on 2.05 and later
You may have noticed that if you are at lockscreen and press the menu key the phone unlocks. If you want to disable this do the following:
decompile framework-res.apk
go to res/values/bool.xml
change line
Code:
false
to
Code:
true
Enable ICS screen buttons
decompile framework-res.apk
go to res/values/bool.xml
change line
Code:
false
to
Code:
true
SystemUI.apk - bools.xml
After decompiling the SystemUI.apk you will find the bools.xml file inside res/values/ and it's stock form is this (I added descriptions, trueN, falseFF):
Code:
[COLOR="YellowGreen"][/COLOR]
false
[COLOR="YellowGreen"] [/COLOR]
false
[COLOR="YellowGreen"][/COLOR]
false
[COLOR="YellowGreen"][/COLOR]
false
[COLOR="YellowGreen"][/COLOR]
false
[COLOR="YellowGreen"][/COLOR]
false
Change them in your desire and report if you find something.
ENABLE VOLUME WAKE:
1) decompile android.policy.jar
I use apktool 1.4.3 for linux.
with the command:
apktool d [dir-of-the-.jar]
2) go to the apktool folder where the decompiled version is.
3) find the KeyguardViewMediator.smali source
4) change this:
...
.method private isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing(IZ)Z
....
:sswitch_data_8
.sparse-switch
#0x18 remove
#0x19 remove
0x1b -> :sswitch_5
....
5) save and compile again with the command:
apktool b -f [dir-of-the-decompiled]
- ...more to come

One thing you could add here (If you want) is a list of "bloatware" in this rom. The un-needed keyboards and some things. It would be easier to find the list from this topic than searching the post in ICS aurora topic.

[SOLVED]Liddroid toggles

i was trying lidroid togle on my system ui ddlk1
this was my procedure--
1 download all 3 files lidroidsysemui ,lidroid res and quicksettings.apk
2 decompile systemui and lidroidsystemui
3 copied the contents from lidroidsystemui smali folder to systemui smali folder , did not replace just copied from smali of lidroid to smali of systemui
4 i got copying message if you want to merge these folder,since 'com' folder was common to both,clicked yes
5 modified the statusbarservice.smali file
6 recompiled apk
7 opened with 7zip and copied the classes.dex to system/app
8 copied systemui.apk to syatem/app and lidroid-res to system/framework
9 quicksettings.apk to system/app
10 rebooted phone but i didnt got any status bar.the wallpaper is to the top
help me

have you set the correct permissions for all the apks
they should all be rw-r-r
you can also use a tool that will actually do everything for you except edit the manifest if you want to enable flashlight
you need to have notepad++ installed to be able to edit the smali file as per instructions on the thread
also if you have edited the manifest to enable flashlight you need to resign the apk

I am working on your systemui. I did not find this post, because you did not mention/quote me.
If you need help then just mention me/someone by "@hnkotnis"
Anyway you cannot install that apk by Package Installer. (Also cannot install other system apps)
You need to use Aroma File Manager (my 1st choice), Root Explorer (My 2nd choice) or System Apps Installer (This has some problems sometimes).

no change :sorry:
pm me your facebook plzzzzzzz
i will keep it to myself only

just use the lidroid tool I gave earlier with an unmodded stock system ui
once done flash that and check that everything works except flashlight
for flashlight add this to the activity in the android manifest
Code:
<activity android:theme="@*android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:name="com.lidroid.systemui.quickpanel.FlashlightActivity" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation" />
resign the apk - important since you have changed the manifest you must resign
put in a flashable and zip and flash with system mounted
note - you cant put it in the rom zip and reflash - the status bar will disappear most likely due to signature mismatches as all system apps need to be signed with the same key so if thats what you are doing re-sign all your system apps with the same key or you could maybe edit the framework to allow multiple signitures

if you are flashing with a statusbar that has already disappeared it wont bring it back!

am i doing something wrong???
hnkotnis gave me lot of systemui.apk i tried update.zip by you and by myself
what is happening????????????????????????

Some of My Mods 4.1.2 ( fonts/systemUI/init.ds/hosts) & Debloating (21/7/14)

Well as title says..i would like to present some of my modification which i learned from xda and try to implement them for SGSA
hope you like them
choco cooky font
now some one would say it's already present in stock rom so why did you create thread for it !!!! well mate lets see difference in stock one any my mod
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
in stock one no smiley support for this awesome fancy fonts
download
here
flash it via recovery ( cwm/ twrp )
reboot
and change font in
setting>display>font style>choco
if u like if press thanks button here
if u dont like it and want to go back default font
just change font in
setting>display>font style>default
and
you still want to completely remove my mod and go back to default font pack !!!!!
well here is uninstall zip
it will completely remove my font pack ( flash it in recovery )

SystemUI
installation
Use any root explorer
1. back up your current systemUI.apk ( copy it from system/app/systemUI.apk ( & systemUI.odex for stock rom ) to any convenient folder )
2. now delete original systemUI.apk from system/app/systemUI.apk and copy-past mine at same location
3. give permissions rw-r--r--
4. reboot
5. done ! enjoy
( if u dont like it u can replace original one same as above )
downolad in attachment
extraxt .rar file and find apk/odex ... they are not flashable zips
note : there is also funny one.. i made it for HJ < 5.1 versions ( i directly mod this one from HJ zip so credit goes to harsh panchal ) when we apply it to stock it shows htc sence like recent apps with smaller thumbnails :laugh: ( it's not recommended to use this... just for fun btw afaik it will not harm any thing if u use it )

init.ds
for cocore kernel only (not for stock kernel)
there are lots of threads and scripts for performance ... entropy..n all
and personally i tried many of them
so let me clear one thing to you about "entropy" ones ... as i feel they kills your animation experience..they make them so fast that u can's enjoy animations ... and i don't like that .
so my init.ds are simple tweaks for kernel to increase performance and battery life
i tried many custom roms and scripts and put here which ever i feel it's good and changes some values by my own
( so credits goes to that roms and scripts also )
you can change values like governor / frequency etc. manually using txt editors if u like
personally i dont use cpu oc ( max_freq init.d ) bcz my phone is not stable for cpu oc
installation
1. extract rar file
2. if u are using custom rom then certainly there will be init.d s in system/etc/init.d so backup them anywhere else
3. then delete them (files ) from init.d folder
( plz dont put bot original init.d s by rom creator and mine one bcz they may be conflicts !!! )
4. copy my files into system/etc/init.d folder
5. and give permissions ( rwxrwxrwx ) (i.e all )
6. reboot
7. see difference and give your feed back
note if u use "my set" init.d plz dont use any governor changing apps like setcpu or nofrail cpu with different setting... if u wanna use those apps plz remove "governor" and "i/o" entry from "my set" init.d
i prefere to change governor and i/o by init.d bcz cpu apps gives little delay after boot up to set them

host file ( ad blocking )
yah there are may host files available for ad blocking any some of them are very large like 12 mbs !!
but they also block some file up-loader servers and some needed host..
like ad.fly , link bucks , adnet etc etc
and some them they also block images on play store !!!
so would like to share host file " modded" by me it will probably not bolck any needed things also it block most of ads in apps of daily use because i personally add those host which gives adds in some apps ... and remove entry like ad.fly , linkbucks , adnet
so in short its optimal host file and small in size so no load on system or cpu
install
download
1. extract zip file
2. go system/etc and delete prebuild host
3. place my host file there
4. set permissions ( rw-r--r-- )
5. reboot
Debloating ( New !! )
well i wanna share my experience about removing "bloatware" ( unnecessary system apps ) when i created this thread but at that time i did have much time ... but i just replied in one thread about debloating and i wanna share some of them here also
1st we have thread by "king ov hell" for " debloating " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200954
but but wait if u remove all of them listed in that thread u will lose some of functionality like "WiFi direct" n all
bcz it's excessive list about bloatware...
but IMO some of Bloats are necessary and not harmful so
i'm putting S.S of a /system/apps after Debloating
NOTES
1. nandrid backup is life savior if any thing goes wrong so always make nandroid backup via cwm/twrp it only take 5-10 mins
2. all system apps ( including bloatwares ) present in /system/apps
3. i also removed Gapps ( except playstore ( phonesky.apk ) )
why ?
they are not necessary ... even Gmail & google play services is not needed in system !!!!! ( google play will automatically download play-services before downloading any apps and install it as user app if u don't provide it in /system ) ... so we can use all gapps directly as user apps from playstore ( no functionality will be broken )
benefits of this are
1. more free system space.
2. gapps will update occasionally so if u put all of them in system there updates will be in /data as user app so duplicate files and them rewuire space in both /system & /data !!!!!
3.user have choice to download his wished gapps directly
4). may be i removed stock sms app & file manager also buz i dont use them i use 3rd party ones !! so use your common sense ...and if u need to use some specific app ( which i don't use ) don't remove it
..................................................................................................................
so all the apps present in my pics are needed in rom to work without breaking any function
( it may happen that some apps wasn't present in your rom from beginning so don't worry bcz dev of that rom already remoed them and they are not necessary ..he is dev and he definitely know more than me about necessity of apps .. so if it happens that some apps is present in my SS but dont in your rom don't argue with your rom creator )
so in short you can remove all apps which are not present in blow SS
again !!!don't remove apps which are present in pics... they are NOT bloatware they are necessary apps

You are great! Thx

[GUIDE][P52**][27Toggles]S5 Theme for Tab 3 10.1 P52**

Hello Folks ,
So Here's a MOD as well as a Guide for making that Notification pulldown same as S5 . Using this guide you'll be able to enjoy 29 toggle mod on your Tab 3 10.1 as well as the blue theme . It's for 4.4.2 only .
Instructions:

2)Download it and paste it into /system/priv-app/'here' using Root Explorer or any other root browser and change permission to 644 .
3)Now download SQLite Editor
4)Open it and grant root access
5)Now go to settings storage>settings.db>system
6)Now , search for notification_panel_active_number_of_apps and notification_panel_active_app_list
7)Open notification_panel_active_number_of_apps and click on tab's menu button and click on edit record and set the value to 26 and click save
8)Open notification_panel_active_app_list and click on tab's menu button and click on edit record and now add the toggles which you want . Codes for toggles are-

Can't decompile & compile resource Android M apk with apktool 2.0.3 ! , any idea ?
https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1131

Did you try oldest version apktool v2.0.0 for example ?
@grzegorz354
With version of apktool did you use to decompile / recompile systemui MM ?

Apktool2.0.0 works but not 100%
You can decompile and recompile but fc
But with 7zip you can copy changed files to original apk and work

you cant decompile all apks like smusic or smartmanager. a trick that i use is recompile framework-res with apktool 2.0.0 and then recompile it and install it on 2.0.3

@asc1977,
Happy to be allowed here
Let's build[emoji14]
About Apktool, i add this info :
For 9.qmg it needed to inject files manually from original apk to recompiled one with 7zip, and this just to Apktool will be full compatible with theses new drawable formats.
I see this in SystemUi, SecSettings2 for now. Surely more apk need this injection.

Hey guys, Thanks for adding me. The issue when building a rom where wifi wouldn't work after flash has been fixed by edgar. He pointed to init.sec.boot.sh inside the etc folder. I simply changed permissions on this file using a root explorer and wifi works again. That simple. I havent tried it yet but im assuming adding this line to updater-script will do the job.
set_metadata("/system/etc/init.se.boot.sh", "uid", 0, "gid", 2000, "mode", 0755, "capabilities", 0x0, "selabel", "ubject_r:system_file:s0");

Does it working after Reboot ?
Because sometimes system files permissions revert back by itselves.
With init.d script it force perms like this
#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.se.boot.sh

You know, I didn't even check I will now.. Though superr has fixed it in his kitchen also, and doing it in root explorer was just proof of concept.
Edit. Yes it works through a reboot. I built a ROM using set_metadata in superr kitchen 1.34 and it's all working great now too. Build away fellas

Great [emoji3]
I start my build with SuperR this evening on 3DPAD firmware.
For deodex do you use Oat2dex or Smali/Baksmali method with set_metadata ?
