You can find a theme that has the same folders as yours and use there update script. That's what I do

Might even consider using MetaMorph if its just a theme, he has a tutorial and template laying around the intertubez somewherez.

I like your take on simple! lol

I'm staying away from metamorph right now, If I do it the harder way... I'll learn more.
That said I still gotta get this zip thing going.
Thanks for the help guys! : )

Feel free to use my update script. It was originally diner by raiderep and I made a couple changes to work with my theme

How to get tablet mode.

How do I get tablet mode without bricking my phone???
Sent from my GT-N7000B using xda premium

You cannot get it if you are on any TouchWiz based Rom, it is not supported by the TW framework.
On any CM9-based Rom you can change your DPI to 213 or less to get the tablet.
It can be done either editing the build.prop file in /system folder, or by downloading Rom Toolbox from
the market and doing the DPI change from its build.prop tweaks.
However, some of the said CM9 Roms have special procedures for getting the tablet mode. Read the
instructions in the OP.

Isn't there risk of bricking flashing custom Roms?

CM9-based Roms are the only safe ICS Roms ATM. They contain a safe custom kernel built from I9100 source code,
while everything else (including Sammy's offical Roms) has an excellent bricking potential.
So, your safe ICS options would be:
1. official CM9
2. Asylum ICS
3. ParanoidAndroid
4. MIUI
However, read the flashing instructions VERY carefully.

Does anyone know if there is an App available which would allow you to do edits to the frameworks as mentioned above so that the N7000 running XLPT could be conveniently switched from tablet to none-tablet modes?

edits to the framework since its TW would need to be done via decompiling the jar files and apk files, doing smali/xml editing, recompiling the jars/apks, pushing them to your device, fixing permissions, rebooting, changing dpi then rebooting again
its not as simple as an app that edits frameworks. its alot more work then you would figure, TW is a b!tch

Thanks for your reply. But I don't think I'll be trying to get tablet mode using that method because I don't have the expertise.

How to easily odex your rom. Make it faster!

Hi all,
Just want to share this mod to odex your rom. Had been using it on my samsung note. Tested and running fine on my new S3.
Thanks to the developer and all credits to him!
Please read and refer to his thread for details

I must be the only one to not notice any major speed differences between odex and deodex. I mainly run a deodex rom because I don't wanna have a gazillion .odex files in system app and system/framework. Oh, that and being able to theme as I wish.

Deodex is useless. There are some websites about this. If you need to theme the Rom you just deodex the needed files to theme them and you keep the advantage of odexed Rom.

this is a great idea, but it does not work on wanamlite 3.7
there are others options to odex a deodex (and very customized) rom ?
thanks

Anyway im just sharing. Im using it cos my phone feels faster.. boots faster. Dont flame me im just a user hehe

Im using ronne's lite rom. Runs perfectly fine here.
I usually install all the mods and apps i wan and then use tb to convert some apps to system apps and run odex me.
But do be aware that some apps dont work having converted to system app. Like the xda app. Because i was using this mod ever since i got my previous phone note 1 i know what apps to convert.
And u wont be able to mod your phone after using this. Im not a modaholic and its like a standard procedure for me to use this mod after setting up a new rom.
Personally i feel the phone is faster and slightly improves battery life. Of cos its just my personal opinion. Cheers

Download the framework-res.apk.zip open it and extract the res file to your framework-res.apk project folder and replace your's.
After that you can make your changes and recompile back with out any error's.

I don't think 2gb of ram are really necessary for that. Of course it would be better to have the gb but I'm sure it can work with 1gb of ram.

If the Japanese s3 has multi window then why can't we extract it from the Japanese source file and port it, wouldn't the be easier that porting the note 2 version?

fyi , i even flashed the whole note 2 rom to my i9305.. tried everything.. long press back key to activate but no luck... that caused my device soft bricked.. imei and carrier all gone..so do not try!! i repeat do not try!
is not that easy... we have to wait till nov until alpha is out or wait for professional dev to extract it.. is not easy because there are a lots of coding in the phonewindowsmanager to be ported... unless ure willing to browse and extract each of them and study the script.. and there are thousands of them

[Q] How to remove/uninstall scripts or/and mods?

First of all hello XDA this is my first topic so i apologize if i break a rule or seem stupid.
As what my title says, how do i do it? The script most specifically is "Blazing Thunder". It doesnt state in the OP how to remove it. If you are asking why i am gonna remove it? Its because i plan to install a different but similar mod/script.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE and GOOD DAY TO ALL!

Then you will have to replace it with the originals
do it carefully , take a backup first .
another way would be replacing the files in the mod zip by original and then flashing it again by cwm .
