Hey everyone, I have done a search on this a couple times, but haven't found much luck. I've been a little more ADHD with the ROM flashing lately and one thing I've missed from CM7 is the "CyanogenMod Settings" option in the Settings menu. I know many of these settings can be changed elsewhere, but it's very convenient. Is this install-able or flash-able on other AOSP roms? No-Sense? Thanks!
I don't know how to get the apk off of my phone since I'm not at a computer but I can tell you that the name of the process is com.cyanogenmod.cmparts maybe that can help you find it.

I am pretty positive it is quite a bit more then just an apk, and involves quite a bit of framework as well.

I was able to find the cmstats apk but I think mudknot is right, it just didn't install. I think some of the settings might be CM specific anyway, so it might be more trouble than it's worth.
The settings apk will only work with CM based roms as they use different framework files for it. There is no way to make it work on non CM based rom. One of the things with CM based roms, things only work with other CM based roms and no others as they dont use any of the propritary files that normal roms run on. The main reason for alot of app compatablity issues.

Cezar has a ROM, Continuum v5 (here). maybe you could download it and extract what you are looking for. Or, just use the ROM
Because most themes IMO are ugly. I personally like the stock samsung with some small modifications. No one does that. I haven't found one rom from the developers that don't screw with the theme. Not everyone likes what you like. The best I can do is download something from the romkitchen with the stock theme and get smart little remarks when I try to ask for help.
http://www.dystopia-zero.net/xxjvb-stock.zip
There you go, dude. Completely stock except for xcal's kernel, 5 lock screen mod, built in ad blocking, overscroll effect and crt off. Also has launcher2, but it seems the icons in the app drawer are fuzzy, so if that bothers you, you might want to set touchjizz as the default launcher.
It also won't flash bootloaders, so you'll need to find the new 2.3 ones somewhere else. I recommend just flashing the stock jvb from samfirmware.com with xcal's kernel, then flashing this over it with CWM.
Maybe wait it out for Perception II? DG ROMs usually have a pretty stock feel to them.
MM do you know where I can find a tut on adding the extended menu and such. I'm interested in the dev part. Just hard finding anyone willing to help you get started.

The one I linked you to has the extended power menu. Doing it yourself is a bit involved.. you have to decompile the .dex/.odex executable with baksmali.jar and edit the code (.smali files), then recompile it with smali.jar and repackage the apk. I don't know if there are any actual tutorials that go in depth on the topic; at least I haven't seen any. It's really kind of a dive-in-and-do-it thing.
If you want to try adding common features like that to a bare rom though, there are a lot of precompiled versions floating around on xda where you just have to replace the .jar file in the proper directory. Just search for the feature you want and chances are pretty high that someone already made a standalone cwm flashable zip of it. Either that or you can try pulling it out of existing roms and popping it in to your own, provided they're based off of the same build of android.
You should check out MikeyMike's rom building tut. It's one of the stickied threads at the top of the general section. It goes over the basics pretty well.
thanks man. I'm going to have to give it a shot. This zip won't work with CWM 3

I was thinking the same thing.
OP You should start with aosp source and fix that if you want as pure as google android as you can get.
By the way you your picture you have up there is not stock launcher it's adw launcher. And the rotary lock screen is not stock either. Sorry.

I have the stock launcher installed in this version that screenshot is old. The Google lockscreen is included but not set as default ( trying to learn how to do this). I have remove Most of the CM stuff except for somethings i need to learn ( edit settings.apk to remove The CM settings ( which will not open when clicked on). All the apps on this rom come from a aosp rom for the DroidX( except for Terminal, Rom Manager, and File Explorer (which is very useful). All traces that i can remove so far have been removed.
haha dicks, just rippin him apart and the rom hasnt even been out for a day LOL
I applaud the effort. Congrats on your first rom and look forward to see the improvement. As far as removing apps, one thing I do is find it in Titanium then see what the file is named, then you can remove it out of the app folder.
Like stated above, you should work with a pure aosp base and you won't have to worry about any of that CM7 stuff. In my opinion, I think aosp is about as smooth as it gets when it comes to UI. I'm sure people would love to have a pure aosp ROM around here since there aren't any yet that I'm aware of.
Good luck with everything and if you need any help just ask.
I'll give a shot. I love loading new roms. Thanks and good luck.
The problem is that I remove CMparts.apk and cyanogenMod settings is still in my settings menu (like a ghost menu ( it won't open). I need someway to edit setting.apk to remove this from the settings menu but im not skilled enough to do this any help would be apreciated.
Also The RenderFX widget is unable to be found (If someone has a location or what file it is in please tell me)
tell me how it is please!!!!!
OP There is a lot more to removing cm then you are thinking. Cm is not just the addition off apps but also modification of all what is android. If you want aosp start with aosp

Ok I tried it and honestly it looks just like cm7. I don't know about creating roms but it seems that this is cm7 renamed and the boot screen changed. I would seek advice on properly creating roms and start over. Good luck.

If I were to create this from a aosp rom I first need to get my hand on one. I need to get drivers (I have no Idea on how to do drivers). And what kernel would I use. also what drivers would i need and don't need (screen, mix, speaker, touchscreen, bluetooth,wifi?)
Also would you want to make this rom with me?

Building from source ie. google. You can google ginger bread aosp and it will bring up this or from Git. You are going to have to build a kernel from source as well. You take the drivers that inspire already has. Its alot of trial and error to see what works and what doesn't.
Is there anywhere that has all the information necessary to build a rom compiled into one handy area?

I have found a outdated 2.3.1 Asop rom for Desire HD (camera not working and USB mass storage not working ). Also If any one has any idea of how to copy CM7's drivers for USB and CAMERA I would love to hear from you!!!
Also How can I update this rom to 2.3.3 without having to recompile from ANDROID-SDK
I'm gonna take a crack at building from AOSP tonight. Gonna use the kernel and proprietary files from CM7. If it doesn't boot though, I don't have the patience to start looking into the kernel and framework to fix it. Wish me luck!
I dug up this old tut on rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/379-how-to-enable-crt-animation-on-any-23-device/
Basically, it states that you can enable the CRT screen on/off animation by editing bools.xml in any framework-res.apk on an android phone above version 2.3. I currently am running a stock pre-rooted deodexed rom. Kernel: "3.0.31-1152558 [email protected] #1"
Alot of users end up bricking their phones by trying to replace the framework-res.apk obtained from other sources, and right now i'm feeling scared to edit the apk by myself.
Would this procedure be too risky? Can I take a nandroid backup of only my system partition to restore from soft brick? Or, if something goes wrong, is it possible that it could be hard bricked just from this wrong apk?
You just want to change CRT animation? Why not use xposed?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Then there are all kinds of modules you could tinker with (xblast tools for example is one I use). It's really easy, and pretty safe I'd say.

omigawsh, i've used the xposed framework for google wallet, and i never knew i could do this. WOW! Thanks man. I'm gonna try it out.
Update: It seems xblast tools does not work. I heard the library "libsurfaceflinger.so " needs to be edited on the GS3 stock rom. I cant just flash any version, as it holds a video driver, so I need to edit it.
What Rom are you using? The developer of xblast is super responsive. Plus I know they have updated it twice recently (most recently to work with 4.4). Send him an email, maybe he can help you.

I was running a stock 4.1.2 touchwiz rom when attempting this mod. Since this thread i've just loaded the 11-20-2013 nightly of the KitKang 4.4 rom. I'm still interested to know if its possible to modify the graphics driver on the SCH-I535 stock roms. It would be a great mod for those hesitant to install custom roms for the sake of the CRT animation.
I'm not sure alot of xposed devs have had experience modifying android graphics drivers. Afaik xposed only modifies the system framework that runs in the java virtual environment. Drivers are on the kernel level. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to contact some developers.
I've been searching the forums for awhile now and haven't been able to find what I am looking for so any information would be greatly appreciated ^_^
Well I've been messing around with some custom ROMs for a bit and noticed that the dsp manager app that is being used in many of the custom ROMs (most recent example is PA4) is a bit different then the apk and .zips that are lying around here in the forums. It seems to be a newer version with a few more options built into them. And so what i was wondering is if anyone knew if there were an apk or zip file for this newer? version that i could use with the stock ROM? or is it closed source only available to certain ROMs? (I remember seeing the same version on a different ROM but i can't remember which one it was... >.<)
i have tried out the zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533599
and it's fine i was just wondering because I do like some of the features in the newer version

I am still using my SK4G. Love it! and there really are some excellant roms here for it. I was wanting to use the aroma installer, can I use this with any rom? Or does the rom have to have it included already? If I can use this with any rom, do I just flash it after I flash the rom or ?????
Thanks for any help, and sorry if this has been addressed. I have been searching and combing through everything here, and chasing down files and all that fun stuff, so it can be a bit of a mess to untangle now that I have jut about everything I was wanting.
There is only one ROM with aroma options during the initial flash but I believe it still had some issues where ricandroid and I left off.
There was a thread with an aroma install for various apps and mods which I believe yo are referring to, and yes that can be used with any ROM (except for the not finished gingerbread port) it can be flashed at any time. So if you flash a ROM and like it, then flash that aroma installer and you can customize the ROM currently on device.
I hope someday to pick up where I left off and even hopefully work on a gingerbread ROM where xindixix left off.
There are still a few people on this forum who are left and are glad to answer any question, even a few willing to do some work for the sk4g so long as someone will use it...
