Will this work for cricket if I change it to cricket? I am looking for a ASOP fix for cricket to use on MIUI or CM
yes if u change for cricket it would i believe but if you want to use for cricket the apns.xml would need to be edited for cricket you might be better off decompiling a framework-res.apk for aosp and editing the apns.xml in it and then recompileing then trying to edit the apns.xml in my zip i find it easier to that way myself
if you send me cricket apn settings i would make you a fix you would follow above directions except you would edit build.prop with cricket info not metropcs (ofcourse) other than that same as above i would give correct apns.xml and flashable zip you can pm me if you like
Thanks for this. Will add a link to the boost/metro/cricked threads in the qa forum.

Restore it, via SEUS if bootloader is locked. If it's unlocked flash a system.img from the development section (if you flash a system.img that's based on the stock rom (nearly everythinh besides the cyanogenmod rom) you won't lose userdata).
if i just want the transparent home which file do i use?

Yer I reflashed it straight away and have got back to the same point just trying to work out what stopped it working, I'll try and get the theme on again and see if it works if it doesn't then it must be the theme that's breaking it!
EDIT: Just done the same thing as above and its crashed my phone again - none of my apps will load and everything force closes as soon as I launch it! I've only changed a couple of other things, but I reset my phone after making the last change and before adding the theme. It must be one of the steps in the theme that is messing it up. Stage 4 is always the one that seems to make things go wrong - could that make my phone crash?
Are ALL the permissions set right they should all be: rw-r--r--it should work no problem

This is a 14 toggle mod for the quick panel. It contains toggles for:
Wifi, Data, GPS, Flashlight (really cool), Sound, Rotation, Bluetooth, Airplane, Auto Sync, Brightness, Reboot, Shutdown, Lockscreen and Screentimeout
The Reboot option has three options to it similar to an extended power menu
Reboot, Recovery and Download mod
The mod also removes the redundant vibrate icon on the statusbar.
It has been tested on stock odexed by [email protected] and confirmed it worked. Let me know otherwise. I do not own a skyrocket so can't test this myself.
It is based off of UXKJ7 firmware so it should work for also work for Roger's as well as AT&T.
As usual flash at your own risk, I am not responsible for your phone or problems it has from this modification.
**For deodexed roms: Just download the CWM file at the bottom of the post and flash away.
**For stock odexed rooted roms as follows: extract the systemui and lidroid-res via root explorer. Install systemui in system/app then rename the systemui.odex to systemui.odex.Bak and push lidroid-res to system/framework. Reboot and you should be good to go.
Thanks to VFO for this method!
Thanks to lidroid for the files and code changes.
OP for the mod in Int. Forum:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289896
trying now.
Works great. Thanks!
Rogers model, stock, rooted. Moved everything manually. Very happy the redundant vibrate is gone now.
works great. I just noticed a few days back with the 12 panel mod, ledroid ROM appears in the banner of the prompt if you choose reboot. No big deal.
I flashed it through CWM and see no difference. Help. It said it flashed successfully.

Try reflashing or pushing the files manually then. Were the lirdroid-res.apk and quickpanelsettings.apk installed?

i got the same exact problem
This worked wonderfully except i lost my lte singal and only had 4g.
would have kept it other wise.
i did have to pull the files and push them to the system/app and system frame work though.
Good stuff though for those not in a LTE area.
To edit the settings you need root explorer to extract and allow permisions to copy and paste in the system folder yall
uh we need to know what ROM you are running. If it is a custom ROM, you should be able to flash it. If you are running a stock unrooted ROM it will not work. If you are running a stock rooted oxed ROM, you have to install it manually with root explorer... This is all covered in the OP.
Confirmed working on I727R
Works fine for me on rooted Rogers stock. Did a nandroid backup beforehand just incase. Had a bit of confusion as OP says to "install" to system/apps, but realized that i was to only move, not run. Does anything need to be done with quickpanelsettings.apk?
I tested all buttons and they all work. I LOVE this. Thanks a lot.
EDIT: I moved quickpanelsettings.apk to the system/app folder with root explorer as well and I now have the quickpanel settings in my app list. Selection/deactivation and changing oreder also work well. I also see no signal loss after rebooting.
This worked perfectly on my stock/rooted ATT SR. Thanks.

uh ya. all the QP MODs from the 777 forums work just fine with or without LTE on the 727. This one that has been ported is no different.
after replacing the systemui file you will start getting FCs. Dont freak, just ok them and rename the systemui.odex file to systemui.odex.Bak then rebot the phone...

I would imagine that LTE is just fine, but you just may not have the LTE icon. Personally I'm not in an LTE area to test, but the files that have been changed don't have anything to do with connections... I believe.

It is not LTE specific. This MOD does change the network icon. If on LTE it will say LTE. if on H+ it will say 4G.
These are the exact instructions. You can also just use root explorer.

First off you need a deodoxed custom rom , next copy the desired APK's from your System/App folder or from the zip you flashed or from wherever.
Download and Install WinRAR or 7Zip and drag the APK onto the shortcut on your desktop. It should open it up , next extract the LDPI and the HDPI folder/s onto your desktop.
Edit your pics with any program e.g. Paint.net . Then replace the modified folder with the old one.
Next download SignAPKTics from APKTops and install that. Drag the modded APK to your SD card.
Click START , choose the APK , click next , choose Test Sign and click sign! Wait 1.5 mins! And ot should be done. Now just (with root browser) replace the old one with the modded one.
And re-boot! Enjoy...

I'm not sure if he has tried it with system app. replacing a file like systemUI.apk or framework-res.apk will make our device continously give FC message. we should use zip file to push the apk to /system/app. system app is also should not signed. I always using this trick without signing stuff and it works. we just need to make sure that we're replace the ordinary file (not the .9 one) and put a picture with same resolution with the original one.
Exactly my thoughts. Resigning systems apps is a big NO. I already did it twice (SystemUI.apk) and I ended up with no statusbar. Good thing I had a backup.

afaik, it's all or nothing. if you resign one system apk, you have to do for all system apk with the same key.

The easiest and foolproof method is to use Ninjamorph or metamorph app from market.I've modified tones of .pngs with them.
First open the apk with the app
Exit the app
Go to myfiles/Androidthemes/workspace/name-of-apk/res/
Then go to drawable ldpi
Take a look at all of the .png files
Find which .png you want to replace.
You should make your own pic with photoshop or anything to replace it with exact resolution and name
Store it in the sd-card
Open the app again
Go to Existing project/name-of-apk/res/drawable ldpi
Click on the .png you want to replace
App will ask you to replace it with some other .png
Navigate to the modified pic
It'll replace the .png
Then go back to homepage of app
Then click finish project
Tap on the apk name
App will ask you whether you want to replace the original apk
Do as you want
Reboot phone
Make a nandroid backup before everything. cheers

yea metamorph/ninjamorph is great but i'd prefer to do it in PC and just push it via adb cuz i use photoshop and i find it a hassle to use my phone to edit apk's

May be you should try it out first.Replacing system apps with root explorer is a very dangerous business.I'm familiar with that.My phone started to do endless boot loops which even a nandroid restore failed to fix and ended up in flashing a new stock rom.

agree
pushing it using adb is a more safer way, because if something goes wrong with forcing it to system then you can just repush the original system apk
you was replacing a running apk. there's no doubt it will give you FC message (lol). try your method to replace framework-res.apk or any system app/framework. b16h22 is right. your method is dangerous.

I have seen a few on here that are only flashable in recovery.
I am on Verizon with a locked BL.
Thanks!!

Mms (and Google black Dialer) could be find as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606281. I managed to push the attached inverted gmail to the system/app too (original renamed to Gmail2.apk.bak, renamed the inverted to Gmail2.apk, changed permissions to rw-r-r) and it worked without problems. Soon I got back to the stock app after I experienced notification "Unfortunatelly,Google services has stopped" after every reboot. Later I found out that services crashes because of ART and inverted Gmail has nothing with the issue.
Try 8sms app

I have MMS but it is color option happy. It is my own work on the stock 4.4.1_r1 MMS app. If your into doing a butt load of colors pm me. Not enough post to post a link.
I made an inverted version of the cm mms app that I use. It works perfectly with stock rom including picture and video messaging. Allows you to send messages out to the groups in your stock contact app as well.

8sms is a good replacement for MMS app.

You can install them. Just extract apk from zip file, change original apk to apk.bak, push the new one to the same folder, give it original name, change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. I've already installed inverted mms, gmail, play and music.

I do what piskr does, as I'm on the moto x & have a locked bootloader & no custom recoveries.

Tried to follow your receipt with Keep but it does not worked. SMS works fine but it was not extracted from zip

That's true. SMS wasn't extracted from zip. But everything else were. Did you follow the instruction precisely? You must either rename the original apk files (to apk.bak) or move them to the sd card (you always have chance to get them back from there). Then you must rename the new apps as original ones were named. And copy them to the respective folders from where the original apps were taken. With explorer which could operate with system applications. Then change permissions for every new app to rw-r-r. And reboot the phone. You might be asked after to confirm your gmail login credentials and that's pretty all. You should have all black applications totally worked.
I'm attaching all inverted apps which I have actually installed. And they are the last versions available.

Are we to only rename the original apk or do we also need to rename the odex file as well? I tried this on my N7 (2012) with the Gmail app and I am getting "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped."
IT'S WORKING. I don't know why. Since it didn't work initially I renamed the original back from apk.bak to apk and renamed the inverted one blackGmail.apk and just left it in the system/app folder. It is now working but technically it shouldn't be working. Am I correct in my thinking that it shouldn't be working?
Thank You

Gmail has probably stopped because the odex file is missing. The files I attached are deodexed and the original ones were as well. But, hey, you've got better solution - why shouldn't you give this toolkit a shot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475. It looks like an easy way and you'll gain everything: unlock, root, custom recovery, restore option... And with custom recovery you can flash every black zip you wish from here: http://www.designrifts.com/teamblackedoutapp/recently-updated-2/, no need to seek for alternative solutions..:fingers-crossed:.

I do have all of that on my N7 by using Wug's Toolkit. I was testing this first on the N7 before attempting this on my Moto X. It all is really to have it working on my Moto X.

You have nothing to loose. As long as you keep original files somewhere you can always get back with just deleting modified and pushing into the system original ones.

I understand, I also managed to install mms, google music, hangouts, but failed with keep (that is most inetresting for me as I hate white stripe in widget) and google now.
By the way I found this topic with themed mms for 4.4.x - works fine for me (bubbles 2 version ). Have not tested contacts and dialer yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519733
I can't seem to find Google Now Search or Play Store in the system to rename or copy the Blacked Out one to. What folder would they be in. I looked everywhere that I could think of.

Via RE you will also need to possibly wipe the dalvik file or the whole dalvik if you don't want to locate it. I did not post a link so I don't know which one you have. One had one with the odex and one didn't. If you have the single apk then you should also try to remove the odex file and reboot. Don't just click on the file in RE to install but copy it over. The flash should work via recovery. droidjunk.com/junk/Dev_MotoX_4.4_MMS.zip
*Dont you hate when you like a theme but hate the icons!!! I will give you a simple guide to download the theme you want and keep your stock icons
~Keep your stock icons for any theme~
*ROOTED REQUIRED*
*Please read complete guide*
*Make sure you are not using the theme you are applying this to! Apply a different theme while your editing this file!
1. Using a file explorer, go to data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson and find the theme you want to keep stock icons!
2. Open file and hit the edit button! Look for this line a little ways down:
"appicon":"com.cambunch.ThemeName.appicon",
and delete it! Save file and reboot!
3. Now you can go to theme store and apply that theme and have stock icons
***Also see post #10 for another simple guide thanks to @SICKMADE***
***This should work for any theme in userjson file, just follow same steps and remember to save and reboot before you apply theme!!!
***JUST HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME***
Screen shots of files and before and after:
Note 5 have to be root or not to work ??
Yes, because you will have to use a root file explorer! ES FILE Explorer etc.
Good work[emoji106] [emoji106]

Which one? Part 1 or 2?
If icons didnt stay stock, go back to the file you deleted the line and make sure it saved with that line deleted! It did that for me and when i went back and checked file, the line was still there and i re- deleted it, made sure i saved file and rebooted and it worked!

Hmmm, it works for me! Deleted that appicon line, saved then rebooted, applied theme and i have stock icons! Ive tried it on a few themes and all have worked!
Make sure that you do not have that theme currently applied! Apply another theme then go back and apply theme that you did that for!
All you have to do if you don't like any paticular part of a sammy theme is install a root file manager... I use root browser but what ever you choose as long as it uses root is fine... then once opened file manager navigate to the data/app folder. Here you will find every apk and or sammy theme that you have installed onto your device. Simply scroll down until you find the specific group of folders for which ever theme your wanting to remove a paticular part of ex. Accuweather, App Icons, etc. Once you've located the file you don't want to use with the theme anymore like the icons "themename.appicon-1" simply delete the folder and reboot and badaboom stock icons are back! I hope that made some sense lol
This is the best Thread ever !!! I always wanted this, thanks alot !!! Very Helpful

Would this mean we can transfer specific apk from one theme to another.

Yes you can.. I have just tried using a keyboard theme I like on different theme by just copy pasting corresponding lines from one to another.
This also allows you to change your icons to anything you want using the galaxy icon themer app in play store
