[Optimus one Themes] Stock rom with theme support without flashing

Easy method to apply a theme to a stock rom
NO need to flash new ROM!
All you need:
-Rooted Lg Optimus One P500 with custom recovery installed
-wireless connection to your Android system files using this easy method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030107
Once you Deodex files inside app & framework folders (inside system)
Or
replace with the files from any rom that is already deodexed (only app&framework folders).
Replace your desired theme files (you need to mod files especially for your stock rom - search for a theme tutorial) inside framework folder
and
reboot phone.
All of this is done in windows without the use of ADB or command line process.
PS: if you don't want to lose any data, backup contacts to google and use Titanium Backup for all your apps.

SMS messaging issue in Aura Rom

Hi
Two days ago I installed Aura Rom, and it is fine because it supports my language (Arabic) and it works well. The problem with messaging (SMS) (MMS not tested) when I receive sms message, it comes twice as you see attachment please.
Can any body help me to solve this issue
Thanks

Responded to your PM. Also, I forgot to mention, if you have Root Explorer you can go into the system folder and delete either conversations.apk or mms.apk (conversations is blur, mms is aosp) to get rid of one. I am fixing this problem in 1.1.3.

Thank you so much
Sorry I don't have Root Explorer. but I see Rom Manager!!
Here is how I install your rom:
1- download your rom to my sdcard
2- entering to the recovery
3-Install zip from sdcard
4- select Aura zip file
5- yes
6- reboot
that all, is it correct method?????

Yes. Though, versions other than tenfar's or romracer's recovery will not actually perform a wipe.

[Q] How do I apply this file into my Samsung GalaxyS4 that removes all the bloatware?

I have absolutely no background knowledge of anything in a smartphone so bear with me. My device is rooted though.
Ok you know how Samsung Galaxy S4 came with all those stock apps? I want to be able to delete all of them.
With some simple google searches I found this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307355
I attempted some of these steps but I have absolutely, not even the slightest how to complete those steps that person has outlined.
Here are the steps:
Download the zip file "TrulyClean_v1.6_MEDIUM_SBROWSER" extract it.
1. Use the default script or edit the script after your taste. (see "hidden "tutorial above!)
2. Copy recovery.zip to phone.
3a. For best experience - do a full wipe, install a custom rom and then flash TrulyClean.zip.
3b. Script only removes apps in /system, so you have to uninstall any updated apps manually.
4. Flash in recovery (I use PhilZ Touch) & run script after every time you flash a new rom.
5. Enjoy and tell me what you think!
So I downloaded the zip file and extracted it, there were two files into: META-INF and busybox.
Ok so I put them in a folder on the desktop called recovery.
On step 2 I zip the folder I created, so now it's called recovery.zip
On step 3 I don't know anything beyond that, are there step by step tutorials with pictures that illustrate these steps?

Hello,
This is ROMCleaner - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348256
It is a simple zip which you flash in recovery and also comes with a ROMCleaner_user.txt which you serves as the list of apps you want to delete.
Very easy to edit and use.

This is a great ready-to-flash script you can try if you are a little unsure of editing your own custom list.

Hi.
U do not need to extract the two files.
U only do this if u want to remove any system apps u don't want to remove in the update script.
Just copy the zip file in yr sdcard and flash in recovery.
That's it.
Cheers.

Wait, if your rooted. Why not just buy (yes buy, it's worth it) Titanium Backup or Rom Manager Pro and freeze, backup, and uninstall the apps you want removed. And then you have a good end user friendly GUI to work with.

You can try with Philz Recovery instead of CWMRecovery.
You can also try to open your backup file on PC to see if there is some files inside

System UI Mod (Oreo deodex A520FXXU4CRD5)

This is my first mod using guides from this awsome thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guides-android-8-0-oreo-mods-thread-t3772017 and this awsome tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333
Like the title says this is only for Oreo A520F DEODEX version FXXU4CRD5, but feel free to try on other versions. Just not ODEXED! I tryed it on HADES rom with no problem. Just backup in case of errors!
To my phone nothing happend but i still need to say that you are Flashing it at your own Risk!
Whats moded?
* Center clock
* Permanently Disable High Level Brightness Popup
Instalation:
1. FIRST ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP OF YOUR FILES BEFORE REPLACING THEM!!!
(i recomend to unzip the SystemUIMod.zip and replace the moded System UI.apk with your own System UI.apk and zip back the folder and save it on your sdcard. Dont forget to zip in zip not rar!)
2. Download the zip, restart in recovery and flash the zip, wipe dalvik/cache and restart. You will have to wait few minutes for android to upgrade.
Feel free to use this mode how ever you like, no permissions needed from me.
