[HOW-TO][GUIDE] Set CM7 Theme as Default when cooking ROMs [With Screenshots]

This is a how-to guide one how to set a theme chooser theme as default. I see a lot of users asking for it, so I decide to make a guide.
Download Theme Chooser Theme
Download apk manager from here or here and extract it to C:\apk-manager\
Place your theme apk in place-apk-here-for-modding folder
Open Script.bat (Screenshot)
Choose Option 22 - Select Project
Select your theme
Choose option 9 - Decompile Apk
Go to Projects
Open AndroidManifest.xml
Copy the pluto:themeID and package (Screenshot)
Open Build.prop and scroll down to the end
There will be two lines like: persist.sys.themeId=Cyanbread and persist.sys.themePackageName=com.tmobile.theme.Cyanbread (Screenshot)
Change them to match your theme
Now copy the theme apk to /data/app/ or /system/app/ of the ROM you are cooking or the theme won't work
If you follow my guide, please press the Thanks button

Me too I don't want post another thread so I use this one..
How do you change the default theme in CyangenMod 10 I don't think this work work with it cos the 2 line in the build.prop are not there no more,
So If a dev that has changed the theme in CM10 can post about it it would be great..
Thanks for reading..

[4.3/4.4] AppOps | Independent App

Hi guys,
I recompiled AppOps as an independent app from latest AOSP source and it works after making some changes. What this means is that you no longer have to rely on third party apps or tricks/workarounds. This is an independant app, just like any other app you use so you can install it and then use AppOps right from your app drawer!
Download: https://raw.github.com/theblixguy/AppOps/master/apk/AppOps.apk
Flashable ZIP for KitKat 4.4/4.4.1/4.4.2: http://www.mediafire.com/download/qiqst3lg5jld5mk/AppOps_Kitkat_flashable.zip
Source code: https://github.com/theblixguy/AppOps
Installation: Move the apk (DO NOT INSTALL) to the system/priv-app folder and set permissions to 777 and then reboot! Or you can flash the ZIP via recovery which will do everything for you
Note: The app is compatible with Android 4.3 but since I don't have a device with Android 4.3, I haven't been able to test the app on Android 4.3 and Android 4.3 does not have a system/priv-app folder so if you're successfully able to use the app on Android 4.3 after moving it to /system/app folder and setting the permissions to 777 then let me know!
If you guys face any problems then please reply below
Thanks

CHANGELOG:
21/12
-> Updated icon
-> Added about dialog
-> Cleaned up code
-> Added support for Android 4.3
19/12
-> First release

im looking forward to trying this ouut and comparing it with a few other aps...just one thing ...a direct download would be great and 777 permissions??? you mean rw- r-- r--???

Yes 644 are the right permissions for all apps in priv-app

Any chance of making a flash able zip? I use Cyandelta for flashing CM nightlies and it has the ability to tag additional zips for post-install

re goodnight it works with zip thank you to you for your work :good:

Installed and rebooted and seems to be working OK. Of interesting note...all of my permission revokes were there from when I ran the AppOpps app from 4.4.1 before it was removed. Could lead to interesting problems if future versions make this inoperable and permissions need to be changed?

I didn't get you. Are you trying to say that the permissions you revoked on 4.4.1 using the inbuilt AppOps feature are present when you run my app?

My app is built using the same code that AppOps uses (plus some of my modifications to make it work independently) so it will work and behave *exactly* like the inbuilt AppOps app. So, if you denied Facebook access to camera using the inbuilt AppOps app then if you run my app, you would see that Facebook is denied access to camera.

[Q]The ROM Toolbox Can't change Status Bar Icon

Hey Guys, Some StatusBar Icons in ROM Toolbox App are so nice. But i can't install it to change my original SB Icons. Although i was Flash Hyperion, Newmis, Alfa,...
Please Help Me!
*Sorry For Bad English:laugh:

just take your systemui.apk change the extention to zip unzip it with winrar
goto res/drawable-ldpi
replace any png you want (pngs only not .9,png and dont replace any xml files!)
rezip
change extention back to apk
put in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted
if you want to change xml files or do anything else decompile the systemui.apk with apktool

ROM Toolbox icon changer is not compatible with Galaxy y. I have tried on deodexed ROM with ROM Toolbox Pro. You need to change icons manually as marcussmith2626 said.

I know you use art, you have already post in another thread
replace the apk, rename the odex to .odex_bak(for save) and reboot
(or replace with the spiderio odex)
I think you can install xdabbeb camera mod first,
spiderio apk it's a xdabbeb apk mod to 380 (spiderio changelog)
don't forget to thanks spiderio for this apk
and if you have a quickwindows case, you can try my mod for 380dpi
---------------
Sorry for my Frenchy English

Cloudy ROMs are not 100% compatible with spiderio's even if you flash the patch from spiderio that adjust everything at 380dpi! you'll still either have a bootloop or a systemUI FC's! so if you do love 380dpi stuff just go for spiderio's ROM if not then just stick with the 480dpi!
cheers

SystemUI for SM-T311 (deodex only)

I have modded the SystemUI.apk of my SM-T311 using icons similar to S5 but still in a white background. Maybe some would like to use it for their tabs, too.
This is only for a deodexed rom running the latest Kitkat 4.4.2 firmware. Download and push into your /system/priv-app folder. Give it rw-r-r permission and owner as root.
This is my first post so I really cannot post a direct link. I attached the .apk here, together with some SS.
