Thanks man
u saved me hell of a time

Brilliant idea to start such an collection. Thanks to all contributors.
Off topic: Does anyone know of good tutorials in german? My son is 8 years old but already into programming lego mindstorms robots (with brixcc). He wants to dive into android programming. I don't know if he will quit at an early stage but at least I want to let him try.

German. I Havent found any. But i will keep searching.
Other option is to use Google Translate and check it in German, but i dont think it will be that good.

Made a Thread on Android Software Development Forum. So that others can also see this..
Thanks for your Encouragement.

Please delete this post thank you

Please delete this post thank you ...

Sorry , but its hard for me to do a research before posting because I dont really know the exact name of the thing ( now I know : easter egg ) . I will delete the post anyway.

For somebody who are interested in changing the pics of Easter egg:
1.go to /res/drawable-nodpi of framework-res.apk and there are the images.
2.select your images and rename it accordingly and replace the old one.

Buddy add a few things like transparent 15 toggle button status bar
And touchwiz nature ux launcher??
Have you removed the msg limit of 4 msgs then it autoconverts itself to a mms?
Bdw the 15 toggle button zip i have is getting kind of weird when flashed.. Just the time goes %0/%0/%0/..rest is all fine..
If you can mod it properly for.our phone..should i give you the zip so that you can add it up?
Also should i provide you with the link to the touchwix nature ux launcher..add it up too.. ?

I have added the Touchwhiz 5*5 launcher apk and CWM flashable.. (Not my work, thanks to ADAM and PANKAJ)
Also added the 15 toggle mod with updated binary for our phone (Thanks to Vikesh for teaching me how to port something useful for our phone
And thanks to THE DROIDSTER for providing us with the link..)
Check if both of them work perfectly with our device in your rom.
If they do..add them to your ROM it will surely get more electrified
Rest see the link for deoxed rom touchwhiz launcher because i have not added the widgets pack so they aren't working currently in my phone. For them to work, add the widgets pack too might help.
But one thing more..Touchwiz and CM like launchers is getting monotonous..add something different..like the lg/moto/xperia one. Our Royale doesnt even have one Roms with them

This is Great Deepankar Buddy. I have seen that it has animations like my Note 2 in toggles.
@Sumit: Buddy, take a shot what Deepankar buddy attached. It has great settings. You can launch ERM V2.0 after applying all this..:good:

Very greatful to you bro for posting

Buddy seclauncher 2 is an apk extracted form "TouchwizUX-1.5.1-5x5.zip"..
Rest zips are CWM flashable..Tried the toggle files i.e "s3 toggles stock.zip" and "15_toggles_Stock.zip"?
TAKE BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING THE ZIPS!!!!
[EDIT] What problems are you facing?

[Q] Side-Screen Multitask?

Is there a way to implement the side-by-side screen on Galaxy R like on the S3 for multitasking? If someone worked on a flashable zip like that, it would be brilliant

V need an officiall jb rom from samsung for dat..it requires touchwiz framework which v don't have..very difficult to get it ported
