I am not responsible for any damage to your phone, marriage, sex life, etc. as a result of installing this mod.
This is just a simple compilation I put together that installs 3 ROM tweaks that I find myself always using whenever I flash a new ROM.
Included Modifications:
Galaxy S II Startup/Shutdown Animations w/ Sound by Jay Aristide
Fix Permissions Script by crackpot
Improved SD Card Icon for Status Bar. I couldn't find the original thread or author, so if you find it, please let me know so I can give credit.

Enjoy!

Probably a not so smart question, but is this universal (all ginger bread roms)?

It has worked with every Gingerbread ROM I have used on my phone, which is all of them, except for Audiophile series, but it would work no doubt.

You screwed up my marriage and sex life. I hate you. AHAHA.

The fix perms script. I'm assuming that replaces the one in cwm, and is ran from cwm recovery?

Nah its intended to be used via a terminal emulator while the phone is running. Original script is on XDA somewhere.

You can always back up your apps with TB and reinstall back later.

You're making it harder on yourself. Do a full titaniumbackup and then use my debloater. If/when you need the app again do a titanium restore for that app. Much easier than freezing by hand.

ok...
can u just give me a list of the apps to remove?

anyway i just wanna remove those BACKROUND RUNNING APPS

I agree with FB backup->debloat-> enjoy lol
Look at a rom in the development section called SimplySimple he has a bunch of apps removed and he lists them that might help you know which apps are ok to remove

I use Gemini App Manager. It shows you which apps have "autorun" code in them and you can selectively kill the "autorun" codes you want.

You should still debloat. And help us keep the forum from getting bloated. Your post today could have gone in your previous thread. And consider hitting thanks.
If you want a list of apps you can safely remove try this.

Debloat. You have no idea how much ram will free up. Just do not get rid of Visual Voicemail. You already have a copy of the rom you downloaded- just unzip it, look in the system folder, and there will be all of the apks that come with the rom. If you want those apps back, simply load them on your sd card, and push them using a program similar to root explorer back into the system folder that they were originally located.
If your running Valhalla Black, don't get rid of Amazon Mp3.
I make the mistakes so you don't have to

Why not Amazon mp3?

At first it caused a process related to it to keep bringing up a force close message. The only way to remove it was by removing that process.
Here's the catch- once you remove that process, a process called com.android.xxxx (can't remember), starts force closing, which in turn resets your phone. I was also loosing my signal randomly.
I also had flashed other roms before. It could be some part of my phone was corrupted. I couldn't get a log because quite frankly, I needed a phone that worked again. I would just be safe and leave it alone.
The debloater is completely safe though- just don't get rid of visual voicemail.

I froze the amazon mp3, but all is well

That's the difference. I deleted it completely. Good to know it worked.

There are numerous uses for it. Like if you flash a screwed up theme, our framework, you don't need to flash a new rom.

What I do in such cases and recommend others to do is to prepare a rescue flashable with replaced (original) content. It is as simple as that, in any case you need the replacement on your SD.. nevermind.

This is a awesome tool. Works real good when you need to push files to /system. No FC's to have to try and click through when pushing from within the os itself.

Can sgsg4 unroot itself

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?

You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.

Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.

Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.

Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

You can dictate text messages, tell it to play any artist or song from your music collection, ask it the whether, to search stuff for you. I like the voice activated music more than anything for driving.

To any one else using, it says it's supposed to wake up when you say GOOGLE at one of the screens but can't seem to get it to do it? anyone else been able to get this feature to work?

Saying GOOGLE has worked for me in the past. You have to have hot word detection turned on in the settings. I have not used it recently, but it is definitely a sweet app.
