Hmmm - first decide what you really wanna mod then - SEARCH - am sure that all such tutorials are covered here or elsewhere in the forums

Download the zip I attached
now open command window where the files you downloaded is.
now to load framework first put the 3 frameworks in the folder with the file you downloaded.
dont type the one in the parenthesis because that's a comment.
type this in cm
apktool if framework-res.apk (type it exactly)
apktool if twframework-res.apk
apktool if hyperion-res.apk
type them one by one. that's how you do it.
Press the thanks button please if i helped
Re: decompile settings.apk
In your Username/.apktool folder, paste twframework res. Apk and rename it as 2.apk.

[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!
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app
Just locate that script using any root explorar nd delete it..
Mostly the scripts are in init.d folder

nd i am a noob to root....**

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 .
the extra things you can remove

Framework-res
Drawable/colors
Primary_textcolor.xml
Secondard_textcolor.xml
Tertiary_textcolor.xml,
It is declared as hex codes so google the colors you want,
And also i hate to spoonfeed,
Google on how to decompile/recompile apks,
Use VTS rather than apk-multitool.
Good luck

What tool do u use? For settings u edit setting_header.xml where is that present and all u must be knowing?!
After clicking on compiling apk manager asks to delete resources.arc and also the xml you edited. Then compile it should.
