Im currently currently working on a fully Rooted Deodex OTA 2.2 with Senses like status bar (black status bar with white lettering) and transparent notification bar, with some build.prop mods:
1.To make the phone ring faster when dialing out, I changed
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=3000
to
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000
Now the phone rings pretty much instantly when dialing out.
2.To enable better scrolling speed through lists, I changed
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=55
to
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
Scrolling through the app drawer and contacts and any lists really is now smoother.
3.Now, to save battery by decreasing the amount of time Wifi looks for an access point, I changed
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval =60
to
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval =90
Now wifi will scan once every 1.5 minutes when not around a known location instead of once every minute which will save battery.
I also changed the Dalvik VM heap size from
dalvik.vm.heapsize=30m
to
dalvik.vm.heapsize=32m
Credits to LexusBrian400 for the build.prop mods.

will this be something we can install right over the leaked version or will this be a downgrade situation?
will it include the new baseband and kernal? i see the sc... but didn't know if that meant the update would include those items.
If you already have the official OTA Froyo and just want the deodex'd files, they will be posted later.
cool. thanks. just didn't know if this was going to be the easy-update method or not.
so this is really more for folks who've done the official OTA update (e.g. downgrade from leak via sbf to 2.1 -> update to official OTA)?

I understand.. I was just showing you a place so you can "borrow" some stuff from so you won't have to do alot from the beginning. Like the black task bar.. I see your big picture and was no way trying to compare the two
Good luck. Can't wait to see the finished product.
For those of you who just want the deodex files, you can download the done folders and place them in the root of your sdcard and run the commands.
Deodex Files
1. Place phone in USB Mass Storage; place done_app and done_frame in root of sdcard.
2. Place phone in PC Mode; run commands below.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
exit
exit
adb reboot
3. Enjoy your deodex'd OTA Froyo.

This is a copy/paste from here.
This is a port of Manup456's NexTheme for the Motorola Droid X. It is meant to be run on the .604 update to Android 2.1.
This installation will require some work, though it is not too difficult. You just need to follow the instructions.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for anything that may go wrong in this process - Though with the SBF file now, it is almost impossible to brick a Droid X.
That being said, I didn't even need to restore while I was porting and testing this, so there should be minimal chance of any major mess-ups.
Instructions:
1. Download 'MetaMorph' from the market. Run it once and grant it root permissions.
2. Download the following file:
NexTheme.zip
3. Extract the file. Put the MM.zip file in sdcard/AndroidThemes and the other two in /sdcard/nextheme
4. We will first need to push framework-res.apk and services.jar to the system. Do not use root explorer to copy the files! Open up your terminal emulator or adb (preferably) and type:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/nextheme/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
reboot
after this reboot, you should notice a different status bar, but the clock and time will still be black.
open up terminal emulator (or adb) again and this time we'll push services.jar
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/nextheme/services.jar /system/framework/
reboot
The following reboot will take between 3-5 minutes!
Now the clock and time, etc. will be white.
5. Now, fire up MetaMorph and choose unzip/extract new theme, select nextheme, and let it do it's thing extracting. Once it's done extracting, you can apply all the themes (for the apps), or apply only the ones you want.
6. Enjoy your new theme

From what I understand the only change to the services.jar is so that the text shows up white. Other than that everything else is changed in the framework-res.apk (aside from the settings icons and such).

This is the coolest thing a noob like me has learned for my X. Please keep these coming. And if there are any other mods that I need to learn, please PM me or share openly. I am so happy I switched from Blackberry to Android now that I have learned some of the tricks.

Hrmm everything but the D2 Lock screen worked for me.
yes sorry!! will update first post! you will need to remove the HtcLockScreen.apk file from the /system/app folder for d2 lock to work!
can i remove/rename it via root explorer?

as long as u have S-OFF absolutely
Instead of the first step 8 (lol) I recommend
/system/bin/mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.apk.bak
Then if you want it back you can do it in reverse. Also make sure to get a different alarm clock if you use the stock one otherwise you can't shut it off without restarting the phone.

has anyone figured out how to keep the alarm working without having to dl another one?
i know this isnt really the right place, but is there a way i can get just the transparent notifications bar in a flashable .zip? i already got smooth sense, classic circle battery mod w/ percentages, and gps icon gone. i just wanna get the transparent part, but dont wanna have to apply a whole theme for it. im on the desensitized (so still sorta sense) aiccucs v4.2 rom

Dont think that its possible... the current clock on device was designed by HTC to go over the HTC lock screen. you will need the deskclock for the vanilla lock screen

you will need to do 2 things to your framework, first change the images for the background of the notification bar as well as update the jar file.
see this topic HERE
update 2: now has vibrate image on slider
I'm still not too clear... I already have Sense and custom icons, I'd like to replace the Lock-n-Clock, but I don't want the notification bar or smooth icons.
Can someone shed some light on if this is possible and which steps it takes WITH sense?
TIA!

nice work! thanks for contributing!
This worked great for me. Thanks for all the work. BTW, I'm s-off using the deodexed 8/26/10 leak with bloatware removed. Also, I've tested the clock and it works fine for me. I use the stock app and don't back out to the lock-screen(just use the dimmed app setting). Works great so far.
Update: Desk clock didn't last through the night so I guess I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Oh well, everything else is awesome.
So natious was kind enough to give us at Honeycomb theme for our tabs. I am not a fan of gradient status bars so I made one with a flat black bar. All credits go to natious originally for the whole theme. I will be adding more tweaks that I like and will update the thread as well for those that are interested.
INSTALL:
- download and unzip the attached zip file
- adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- make a backup of that file as it is your working original
- adb push /path/to/this/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
- adb reboot
*NOTE I did this in recovery, specifically CWM. Sory for no flashable zip file yet (I dont know how to make one)

Good job, funny tho, my next update was going to remove the gradients on everything, only problem tho it made it look like the status bar was connected to the drop down quick panel .
To make a flashable zip, just replace your apk inside the framework folder of my flash-able .zip

I am a bit new too this stuff. Can you tell me where do I find the framework-res.apk on my device and how do I then add the new honeycomb theme apk file.
The framework-res file is in /system/framework . If you do my install steps from my first post then what ever directory your on on your computer is where adb will put the pulled defualt system one. Then rename it or move it to a safe place and put my new one in the same directory and push it back to the device.

No, if you are rooted you can use root explorer to replace the apk, but cwm is always the best way

It went wrong, before I could set the permissions my Tab locked up and I had to use recovery mode, adb and rageagainstthecage to copy the original back into place - oddly enough I then tried to add the file from above using this method, set the permissions and ownership and my Tab refused to boot with it getting stuck in a loop while showing the Samsung logo.

Ah my mistake, was pretty much the stock 2.3.3 that's been going around on here so I think the problem was of my own making.
Hi!
My tab is running on Overcome 2.0.0 RC1
I replaced the framework-res.apk with the one from you.
After the reboot my tab only shows the "Galaxy Tab SAMSUNG" screen who is blinking.

I flashed the rom again and now it still works.
That means that I can't use this status bar with my rom, right?

All right, I did a little bit of experimenting and managed to use a theme created with the UOT Theme Kitchen ( thanks and all credits for the awesome kitchen script and art goes to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ ) and also enable the Gingerbread CRT animation on screen lock (thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977501 ).
It was actually pretty easy and I will provide more detailed instructions tomorrow (as it's late and I'm tired). For now, have some screenshots (my theming abilities are horrible, I know, it's proof of concept, after all) and the two files in question.
Some don'ts before you go ahead and just jump in and replace:
Don't replace them with the Root explorer. It will not work. Use ADB as instructed.
Don't use this if your bootloader isn't unlocked. If something goes wrong, your phone will boot loop and without a recovery, you're screwed.

Here are the screenshots (I removed some of the ugly colorings now, I think it looks better):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Steps to install this "theme":
Enable USB debugging.
Make sure your phone is rooted and that you have busybox installed.
Make sure you ONLY use this on the R800i with Build Number 184. It might also work on other Xperia Play/Arc/Neo's with 184, but most likely, it won't.
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
# sync
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# reboot
Needed files are attached!
Have fun!
EDIT: Uploaded and attached the normal Play framework with enabled CRT animation.
EDIT2: Uploaded the Play framework with enabled CRT Animation for Firmware .145 (2.3.3)
EDIT3: Uploaded Verizon Play framework with enabled CRT Animation (Firmware 2.3.2 3.0.E.2.89)
If you want to donate to me as thanks, donate to the UOT Kitchen! http://uot.dakra.lt/ they did most of the work, I did very little.
Love it black and blue is the ultimate theme, and i really missed the CRT screen anim how sad is that!
just to clarify, why would we need an unlocked bootloader for this? surely if something goes wrong we can use sony's own software updater as it's unmodified?
Well, okay, that might also work, but since I don't have any way to test it, I can't guarantee it. I also think that that recovery method wipes all userdata, which isn't very nice. However, if you want to try out, feel free.
Done and Done, restored fine, due to all the testing ive been doing recently ive already got the recovery files and script set up to restore my phone to the way it was so it doesn't take too long.
So i can confirm at least on mine your ok to restore after doing this with sony's software IF your bootloader is locked.
getting different notification icons than you see below
I use good old launcher pro at the moment, mainly because out runs really snappy with live wallpapers and because the pro version has some useful widgets.
Also, did the "theme" apply well for you? I think the colours need some tuning still, and I eventually want to use my own images top make it a "proper" theme. For now, it's just to test the waters.
Sorry, didn't mean to double-post, taptalk spazzes out.
everything went fine, the last part wouldnt remount so i rebooted, then ran the last command when it semi-booted and rebooted again, the only thing that's off is the notification bar.
The colours are slightly off the blue looks to be baby blue as apposed to a striking darker blue, but great first attempt at customizing your the first!
Yeah, that was my impression as well. I'll work on it more tonight, after work, but that is still about 12 hours away (long day). For now, it's a start at least.
Just awesome!
Looks great, just pushed it to my Dansih branded phone, without issues.
Great to see stuff happening, and looking forward to see more.
Changed mine a little cant wait to see this as a darker blue it will be awesome!
Any chance we can get a copy of the framework with just the crt animation activated

You could also check this thread out. It's from the arc section. It worked on my play ;-)

E: have flashed the UK 1.84 generic and used the arc's framework-res.apk for 1.84 FW. Copied the apk to system first then changed permissions and then moved it to /system/framework to avoid bootloop, wich I encountered the first time I tried. Hence the flashing :-S

Does it actually work on the 184 Play? Or are you still on 181?

Forgot to set permissions in theme, was unable to access root explorer and now a bootloop...

It's most likely because the framework from the thread only works on Plays with FW Version 181. To fix the bootloop, either flash Binary's pre-rooted System image that I linked to in my first post (if you have an unlocked bootloader) or use the Sony Ericsson Update service on your PC to repair it.
Downloading Binary's file right now. Used the file that was made for 184 that's also in the thread now.
Edit: Binary's file fixed mine, did give me back my bloatware

1.84 uk generic mate :-D
Have edited my first post...
I think we will be able to use alot from the arc section in the future afaik they are running the same ui as us. There framework-res works like a charm on the play ;-)

thats quite useful being compatible with the arc, the arc has diffrent specs to the play, so you would expect the framework to call for diffrent libs obviously not
It seems that only a few users own this phone by now. Phone already got a rooting procedure here but no kernels or any mods so far. I create this thread for things to warm up! Will start some work on build.prop/tweaks this weekend
plzzz
hey i also want to make rom for this. as i dont own it and cant find any source for stock rom
can you please get me system folder of your rom
here are steps how to
1. download any terminal emulator from market.
2. open emulator and type the command with proper spacing as given below
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
so upload it somewhere and give me a link to it... personal message me...

Guys! Vote for cm9 support! http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/55977-samsung-galaxy-ace-2-cm9-poll/
since I don't have knowledge in modifying kernels, can anyone add more frequencies to stock kernel and oc frequencies as well?
There are some OC kernels in thread about Ace 2 rooting. I think page 4 or 5. But there are also some doubts about real effects of OC.
anyone knows how to change bootanimation on this phone?
I bought a usb jig and it works... When you plug it in, the phone enters download mode.
What do you mean by works? Does it reset a counter of custom kernel/ rom? Is this a way to have valid warranty?

The jig was originally meant for forcing the phone into download mode. In SGSII, the counter did reset too. Only in SGSII...

Please remove the brackets. This is the stock rom, I already re-flashed my fon w/ this, because I deleted too many things ^^.
Now I have to wait 5 minutes to save the edit of my post. This is somewhat stupid, isn't it?

Hi Kyrillos,
I've installed your files . Now I have the following problem:
" the process com.android.systemui has been stopped,please try again "
but no chance to start it again. So, I don't have the status bar.
Any ideas ?
Best regards
