[MOD]Circle Battery Mod for Bean's - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Team Bacon presents...
Circle Battery Mod for Beans.
This battery mod was made for Beans R9, but should be adaptable to many Touchwiz based ROMs. Use APKTool and the AutoMod tool to aid in porting!
The battery icon is red from 0-15%,
orange from 16-25%,
and blue from 25-100%
See attached sample images.
Credit/Thanks:
eschelon, and pjamv5 for giving permission to utilize battery images from Synergy R52 and the Clockwork Orange theme. Be sure to thank them!

I highly recommend the AWESOME AutoMod tool/script by MAD Industries. Learning to use the tool will help teach modding and save a ton of time. Also, we can now easily distribute mod source files in mod packages for adaptability to similar ROMs. Be sure to visit the thread and thank MAD Industries!
Downloads:
AutoMod mod package file - CircleBatteryMod.mod
Because Bean's R9 uses Aroma to install tweaks during first ROM flash (several SystemUI.apk files in the ROM zip's clock folder), using the AutoMod tool is the ideal way to create the mod.
AutoMod Instructions (must be running linux or mac os x):
1) Run AutoMod script and perform updating if necessary (see AutoMod thread above for simple tutorial in OP)
2) Plug your phone into your computer
3) At the AutoMod main menu, select option 4 (Install a new mod package) and follow the instructions to copy the CircleBatteryMod.mod file to the specified install folder
4) At AutoMod main menu, select option 2 (Create a flashable update.zip from a mod (device specific))
5) Copy the output CWM zip (location specified by AutoMod) to your phone's internal or external sdcard
6) Reboot into recovery, Nandroid backup, and flash the zip
7) Enjoy/Profit
For those who aren't ready to dive into AutoMod, I've created a CWM zip for the "stock clock with no brightness slider" for Beans R9. Please note that making extra tweaks and changes to the mod will be much more time consuming for me in Beans R9 since it has several SystemUI.apk files for each Aroma choice (stock clock, stock clock no brightness slider, center clock, center clock no brightness slider, etc). Using AutoMod is preferred because it allows the user to make their own custom tweaks very easily.

-You can get out of most jams with a Nandroid backup. It's always important to perform a backup before attempting a new mod.

[Ep4D][Rom][Cwm][Odin]TweakStock v1.5 UPDATED 4/10/12

UPDATE - see here for an EP4D update - Tweaked 1.5.
Over the last month or two I decided I would take a crack at learning some things, and so far it seems to have progressed nicely. Given the sorts of things that I tried to figure out, posting something that summarizes the culmination of said learnings seemed appropriate. If nothing else, I figured some would find it nice to have a little more variety as far as ROM choices are concerned. That being said, what is posted here is essentially stock EP4D, with some bells and whistles thrown in - and a pretty face thanks to stranula. Thanks also go out to skydeaner on IRC and gunnermike53 for offering up some server space for files.
I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE! As an additional disclaimer - I still feel as if I am pretty new to all of this, but this has worked for me and a few others that were kind enough to try. That being said, as always YMMV.
I'm not entirely sure what the best way is to set this all up, but here's a look at what I did to get to this point. I started with the deodexed/zipaligned EP4D posted here, then attempted a debloat. then attempted a debloat. I haven't done much of that sort if thing prior to this, but it seems to have gone okay (and I welcome suggestions on what else should be or what should not have been removed). That being said, in case there is something missing that you wanted I included a .zip of all the deodexed /system/app apks in the download section at the bottom of this post. Then, using the work done on Infinity, GummyCharged, and Eclipse as examples, as well as various guides found on xda and information found through repeated Google searches, I began my attempts at modifiying a number of files. This was quite the learning process (smali is equal parts comprehensible and baffling), and while I am unsure if the methods I ended up using were the best choice, the end result was they worked, so I was happy. See the changelog in post 2 below for a list of the ends such modifications achieved.
If there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) on this list, let me know. I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning - and thats the whole reason this ROM came about in the first place (it all started with figuring out how to modify the power menu).
You will need to have either CWM (version 5.0.2.7 can be found here, but earlier versions like 4.0.1.4 will work fine as well) already on your phone or ODIN already on your computer, and I would strongly recommend doing a data wipe/factory reset within CWM before flashing either of the CWM .zips (that's what I've been doing at least and I have had no problems).
Also - I am no longer bundling my repacked kernel in anything, as I have found the 0130 PBJ kernel to be far superior. If you choose to use the repacked kernel, MAKE SURE voodoo lagfix is completely disabled (i.e. /data, /dbdata, /cache, and /system all need to be rfs, i.e. NOT ext4) BEFORE flashing!!! For those interested, the experimental repacked kernel is essentially JUST THE STOCK EP4D kernel - with 2 edits that deal with how adb interacts with the phone and speeding up the media scan at bootup. That being said, go with the PBJ kernel. Seriously.
MY GENERAL RECOMMENDATION:
ODIN back to stock EP4D BEFORE you flash anything. It just makes for far fewer problems.
CWM Installation instructions:
- Backup your current setup/data
- Download file and place on sdcard
- Boot into CWM recovery
- If flashing full ROM package, wipe data/factory reset (Recommended - not necessary depending on your situation I suppose)
- If flashing v1.1 patch, make sure to ALREADY BE ON v1.0 and wipe cache/dalvik (again, just my recommendation)
- If flashing v1.4 patch, make sure to ALREADY BE ON v1.1 and wipe cache/dalvik (again, just my recommendation)
- If flashing experimental kernel - you better not be ext4!
- I recommend mounting /system (so it should say "unmount" after system)
- Install the .zip you put on your sdcard
ODIN Installation instructions:
- Download file on to computer and unzip it (w/ 7-zip or the like)
- Put phone into download mode
- Connect phone to computer (assuming all is well with the drivers)
- Open ODIN (I have been using 1.83)
- Place the .tar.md5 file in PDA!
- Flash away

Beyond the contributions of the above individuals, there were a number of guides found on xda or via google that were used along the way. Some representative samples include:
Create 14 scrollable quickpanel toggles
Disable low battery notification
Remove clock from statusbar
Extended power menu
build.prop tweaks
A bunch of others that have become buried in my browser history...
---CHANGELOG---
Version 1.4 - 2/4/12
- Added in Download Crutch to allow download of wider variety of files (thanks to the unknown-to-me maker of this)
- Added in TweakPapers thanks to gunnermike53 - some nifty wallpapers
- Changed the transparency in Mms.apk to slightly less transparent (with help from stranula)
- Cleaned up the underlying code of a number of toggles that were misbehaving
***** While it works fine, flashlight still needs to be addressed somewhat
- Added end-user options for hiding various icons in statusbar - see Notes below for info
***** Bluetooth
***** E911
***** Vibrate/Silent
***** Alarm
- Added end-user options for enabling/disabling low/full battery notification
- Added in stay-awake-while-charging feature (thanks to imnuts for some helpful tips)
- Disabled some notifications
***** Data off warning at bootup
***** Confirmation alert when USB connecting phone to PC
- Custom carrier text option - make your own instead of choosing from my choices (credit to TSM for a model to follow on this)
***** Requires reboot for change in pulldown to take effect
- Rearranged Display Settings to hopefully make the new options seem more organized
- Volume rocker no longer wakes phone when lockscreen disabled
- Custom shutdown animation (credit to various threads and Infinity for images and information on how to implement this)
- Included custom boot animation (Blu Plazma II by JaeKar99), but requires supporting kernel (like PBJ...)
***** To change, make sure new boot animation is saved as sanim.zip and place it in /system/media/
***** JaeKar99 has made some AMAZING ones that can be found here
***** These come in varying formats - see the post by bvsbutthd101 here for some quick tips on how to approach things
- Altered some default settings (can be seen after data wipe) - for example:
***** Wi-Fi off on first boot
***** USB Debugging enabled
- Fixed/edited Dialer thanks to gunnermike53!

- Zip aligned
NOTES:
While I am unsure how relevant it is now, I have encountered an occasional odd issue in the past with CWM after flashing that seems to require adb to resolve.
The issue is that after flashing and then booting into recovery, I occasionally get a "can't mount /sdcard" error. Apparently that in itself is a known issue, and it is listed as such in the CWM recovery thread.
The fix requires you to perform the following commands using ADB:
Code:
adb shell
umount /sdcard
rm -f /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard
exit
If you do not have ADB installed and you are having the "can't mount /sdcard" error after flashing - I have a possible workaround for you. Download the ADBsdcardFix.zip here - then extract the folder (should be fine to extract it to your desktop) and attach your phone to the computer via USB (I did this while the phone was already in CWM). Open the newly-extracted ADB folder, and then double-click on the CWMsdcardFix.bat - something should pop up on the screen for a brief second, which is completely normal. After double-clicking the .bat file, on the phone go to mounts and storage, then select mount /sdcard - and it now should work!
Either approach here (adb code or the stuff in ADBsdcardFix.zip) has worked every time I have needed it, although again in my experience I have not been able to cull the rhyme or reason out of when that need will present itself.
The statusbar tweaks all require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot, BUT for most there are other ways:
- Move statusbar clock -- get screen to rotate
- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)
- E911 -- Go into Settings > Location and security... you don't need to do anything else, you should see the change
- Carrier text -- Lockscreens change automatically, but the pulldown only changes with reboot currently

This looks great! I'm going to convert to RFS and try it out in the morning. Thanks for spending the time to make this!
Edit: I flashed the version that does not come with a kernel instead, and coming from InfinityROM with ext4 it works just fine. I did not wipe data or cache. It looks and runs nice and stranula's theme is very classy. Keep up the good work!
Thanx alot, now I have something to flash when decide to get out of bed. 4 am here, lol. Can you say flashaholic?
nice job
good write up in the op as well...its nice to see that u got it right on the first attempt
some times theres little to no info, and it makes it tough for users to know the ins and outs of what they are flashing...not the case here!

If you look in the EP4DSysApps.zip, you should see a few .apks that start with the name SamsungWidget - maybe try those. There are a number of ways to get these on your phone, but I also added a link in the OP to a blank CWM file. All you need to do is take whatever app you are interested in flashing, then drop it in the system/app folder in the blank cwm .zip. I hope this helps!
EDIT: If you DLed this file before 11:40pm on 12/23/11 - delete it and redownload it. Noticed a mistake in the updater-script and it will cause some not-so-fun issues... Ones that can be resolved by reflashing the main ROM CWM .zip - but not-so-fun nonetheless.
I know I'm probably the only person that likes the clock in the status bar, but I actually use it alot. Is there a way to get it back. I want this to be my daily driver for a while. Thanks for any help.
I know how you like challenges and I have one that would be a really nice edition. I would love to see this implemented. It adds buttons to the quickpanel, it's takes some smali know how which I have none. I have to admit, I tried it the other day to no avail, it would be nice to see it ported and I have faith in you

I could put something together for you to make that happen. That being said, it is visible near the date in the pulldown, meaning a quick touch to the statusbar shows the clock. Let me know if you still want it and I'll get something together for you tonight.

Interesting... I'll have to take a look at that - thanks!
Yes please its just one of those things that I'm used to. You know how hard change can be. Really enjoying the Rom. Thanks
I'm flashing now. Thanks for the new ROM and great writeup.
I dont know very much about this stuff, but it kinda seems like you've done more than enough to not have to put "stock" in the title. Looks like a fully fledged custom ROM to me! Nice job, man! Will try it out this weekend.
Very nice no problems. Thank you

[GUIDES] Fresh out of box Galaxy S 4G | Heimdall One-Click For Dummies

[NOTICE] THIS THREAD CONTAINS TWO GUIDES:
[POST #1] Fresh out of box Galaxy S 4G [SOLVED]
[POST #2] Heimdall One-Click For Dummies
​
[Note: You can use this guide where applicable - look for the bold section headers that pertain to the state of your device and go from there.]
--------------------
What I have on it fresh out of the box:
o To determine what you are currently running - Go to [App Drawer], [Settings], [About phone]:
-Model number: SGH-T959V
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: T959VUVKD1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.VUVKD1
o If your phone information is different than above (i.e. KB5) - this guide will work as long as Kies mini will recognize your phone. Kies mini WILL NOT recognize ROOTED devices.​--------------------
What can I do:
-Upgrade to GB 2.3.6
-Back up efs Folder (Important!)
-Root
-Flash Custom Kernel (to obtain CWM)
-Flash Custom Rom
-Flash Custom Tweaks (cautiously as most custom ROMs have tweaks built in)
-Flash Custom MOD's.
--------------------
What should I know first:
-What is a ROM: Literally it stands for Read Only Memory, in this case referring to the phone's internal memory where your firmware/apps are stored. It is what you see and use when you are on your phone.
-What is a Kernel: The bridge between applications and actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel helps the ROM talk to the Hardware.
-What is the efs file: “This is a very sensitive system folder that contains Phone-specific information such as the IMEI (encrypted in the nv_data.bin), wireless devices MAC addresses, product code (also in the nv_data.bin), and much more.” (from XDA article)
-What is rooting: Allows you to make changes to your Android system, as well as enable you to use features that are otherwise locked away. (from Samsung Galaxy S 4G Wiki)
-ClockworkMod / CWM: A custom recovery allowing you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations that aren’t possible with stock recovery. (from here)
> > You can find more applicable definitions here < <.​--------------------
Going from Stock Froyo (Firmware version: 2.2.1) to Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6):
NOTES
* * I chose to go from Stock Froyo to Stock GB using Kies mini. This gives me the GB Bootloaders that I need to make it easier to flash a custom kernel and custom ROM’s.
* * Having GB already on the phone allows us to download SGS Kernel Flasher (must be rooted to use) from the app market to flash a custom kernel that will give me CWM5 and Voodoo Lagfix.
* * Also if anything screws up (i.e. IMEI), I can just take my phone back to where I bought it and get another one as this has happened to many… and fixes for it are not clear and work randomly but not for all. And unfortunately peoples phones have screwed up updating the way T-Mobile and Samsung tell you to update.​o How to check your IMEI:
-Go to [App Drawer], [Settings], [About phone], [Status].
-Towards the bottom you will see [IMEI].
o Let's get started:
-Download Kies mini if you do not already have it. When you follow this link you will see two tabs - 'Manuals' and 'Software ' - click [Software] and download.
-Make sure your phone is charged.
-Double check that USB Debugging is not enabled. Go to [Settings] > [Applications] > [Development] and UN-Check [USB debugging].
-Start Kies mini on the computer.
-Make sure phone is not connected to computer yet.
-In USB Settings on my phone I select [Kies (Firmware update)] if it is not set to ask every time.
-Plugged in phone, let device drivers install on computer. You will see a notification on your computer when complete.
-Then Kies mini will recognize the phone.
-Hit [upgrade] and wait.
-Phone will eventually reboot. Check your IMEI.
--------------------
I am on Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6) now what:
NOTES
* * Some have learned the hard way the importance of making a back up of the efs folder on your phone. The efs folder contains important information about your phone and in the event any of the files in the folder are corrupted there is NO clear and concrete fix without a back up!
* * I use Super Manager​o Now let's back up our efs folder:
-Open Super Manager on your phone and go into [File Manager].
-Select [Back up level folder] twice.
-Scroll down and look for your folder called [efs].
-Long press the folder and select [copy].
-Now look for [sdcard] and select.
-Now select the clipboard (or press menu, then paste) to paste to your sdcard.
-Now copy over to your computer for safe keeping.
o It is time to Root [CREDIT and THANKS TO SHORTFUSE FOR SUPERONECLICK]:
-Download the current version of SuperOneClick (as of 05/02/12 is SuperOneClick v2.3.3).
-Extract the contents of the .zip where you can find it on your computer.
-Open the SuperOneClick folder you just extracted.
-Make sure phone is in Debugging Mode. Go to [Settings] > [Applications] > [Development] and check [USB debugging].
-Connect your phone to your computer.
-Open SuperOneClick.exe. You DO NOT need to change any settings!
-Either [Donate Now] or select [Donate Later].
-Click [Root] and wait and keep waiting.
-Ahhh, Rooted!

I am on Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6), I have an efs backup and rooted now what:
NOTES
* * I need a custom kernel to give me CWM and Voodoo Lagfix.
* * The purpose of the custom kernel is to give us CWM to flash a Custom ROM. When we flash the Custom ROM - the Custom ROM will overwrite the kernel we flash now with the kernel included with the ROM.
* * Do NOT extract the contents of .zip files. When flashing - we flash the .zip.​o Let's get started:
-Go to market, download and install SGS Kernel Flasher
-Download your choice of kernel from the Galaxy S 4G Android Development section to the root of your sdcard. Links provided below.
o Kernel Recommendations as of 05/02/12:
-Basic with a Twist SGS4G KJ6 1.1 rc1 (thanks to AntonX )
-Bhundven's Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix (thanks to bhundven)
o Let's flash the kernel:
-Open the SGS Kernel Flasher app.
-First select [backup kernel].
-When it if finished you will still be on the same screen and it will see a green vertical bar at the bottom of the screen next to - Backed up as.....
-Now select [choose kernel] and a file manager will appear.
-Select [parent directory] and you will be on the root of your sdcard.
-Navigate to the bottom and find the kernel .zip file you copied over.
-Once selected you will be back at the main screen of SGS Kernel Flasher.
-Select [flash kernel].
-The kernel will flash and your phone will reboot.
-You will hear Linda speaking on the Galaxy S 4G boot screen (only if this is your first time flashing a custom kernel).
-Wait and wait some more! She will keep talking to you!
-Eventually the phone will reboot.
--------------------
I am on Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6), I have an efs backup, Rooted and have custom kernel with CWM now what:
NOTES
* * Now it is time for the Custom ROM!
* * Do NOT extract the contents of .zip files. When flashing - we flash the .zip.​o Let's get started:
-To make it easy for you to access CWM Recovery without having to do the button combination - You can download Quick Boot (Reboot) here: QuickBoot.apk (link is courtesy of FB)
o How to navigate in CWM Recovery - TWO Methods:
-Using Side Buttons:
-To navigate up and down - use the Volume up and down buttons.
-To select - use the power button.
-Using Soft Keys:
-To navigate down - use the [menu] soft key (first soft key).
-To navigate up - use the [home] soft key (second soft key).
-To Go Back - use the [back] soft key (third soft key).
-To select an option - use the [search] soft key (fourth soft key).
o First things First - Nandroid Back Up:
-In CWM Recovery - Navigate down to [backup and restore] and select.
-Then select [backup]. This will take a bit so wait until it is finished.
-Now you have a Nandroid backup (which also gives you another backup of your efs folder) and you will be back at the main screen of CWM Recovery.
NOTES
* * If you decide to try a different ROM other than the suggested ROM's below - please be aware there are Gingerbread-based ROM's and FROYO-based ROM's. At this point in the guide - you MUST select a Gingerbread-based ROM to flash.​o Custom Gingerbread ROM Recommendations as of 05/02/12:

NOTES
* * Most Custom ROM's will be de-bloated - meaning a lot of the stock apps you may or may not be accustomed to are removed.
* * If you would like to re-install a stock app that is not in the Custom ROM you just flashed - Follow this link - Stock GB 2.3.6 APK Repository, download the APK you want to install and follow the directions in the first post of that thread.​--------------------
[TWEAKS] I am on Stock GB (Firmware version: 2.3.6), I have an efs backup, rooted, have Custom Kernel with CWM and have a Custom ROM now what:NOTES
* * Now you can flash tweaks if you so desire!
* * Do NOT extract the contents of .zip files. When flashing - we flash the .zip.
* * Take note - Most Custom ROM's have tweaks built. As an example - icbinb 2.3.7_v2 has Universal Adrenaline Shotv14-1 cache scroll tweak built in. Read the first post of the Custom ROM thread you choose to determine what tweaks are built into the ROM.
* * Flashing more than one Tweak does not give the benefits of both Tweaks. The Tweaks are generally written to overwrite most of the settings that may already be on the phone. So - Pick a tweak and try it for a couple of days. And if you would like to try a different tweak go for it.
* * If you are on icbinb 2.3.7_v2 - To make it easy for you to access CWM Recovery without having to do the button combination - You can download Quick Boot (Reboot) here: QuickBoot.apk (link is courtesy of FB).
* * If you are on Valhalla - BlackEdition - You are now able to access CWM Recovery by holding down the power button. [Phone options] will open and you can select [Recovery] to easily access CWM Recovery.​o Custom Tweak Options as of 03/02/12:
-Universal Adrenaline Shotv14-1 cache scroll tweak (thanks to dsexton702)
-A.S shot v15(beta) (thanks to dsexton702)
-Lightning Zap (thanks to thomas.raines) -- now using SGS ROM Installer
-ThunderBolt! v2.6.1 (thanks to pikachu01)
o Let's get started:
-Download the Tweak you have decided to try.
-Copy [<< Name of tweak you chose here >>.zip] to the root of your sdcard.
-Reboot into Recovery (refer to notes above depending on which Custom ROM you are using)
-Scroll down to [install zip from sdcard] using the methods previously given, then select [choose zip from scard].
-Go to bottom and find the name of the tweak you copied over and select it.
-Scroll down and select [Yes - Install << Name of tweak you chose here >>.zip].
-White letters will scroll and eventually say [Install from sdcard complete].
-Lightning Zap will now start SGS ROM Installer. Follow prompts. Select [Quick] Install.
-When finished select [*****Go Back*****].
-Then select [reboot system now].
-Let your phone sit for 10 minutes before using - most tweaks wipe your Dalvik Cache, which in turn, will rebuild itself properly by letting your phone sit. You may experience minor problems, lags, etc if you skip this step.

WITH BOOTLOADERS AND WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS​
----------------------------------------------------------------
o Who should use this guide and do I need Bootloaders:
This guide can be used when wanting to upgrade your phone to Gingerbread from Froyo:
----> Follow Directions for Flashing WITH BOOTLOADERS
This guide can be used if you flashed a ROM made for a different model phone (i.e. Vibrant):
----> Follow Directions for Flashing WITH BOOTLOADERS
If you don't know what Froyo is or do not know what ROM you currently have - to be safe:
----> Follow Directions for Flashing WITH BOOTLOADERS
This Guide can be used after flashing a Custom Gingerbread ROM and wanting to return back to Stock Gingerbread ROM:
----> Follow Directions for Flashing WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS
This Guide can be used between flashing Custom Gingerbread ROM's to lesson probabilities of problems:
----> Follow Directions for Flashing WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS
----------------------------------------------------------------
START HERE - - WHETHER FLASHING WITH BOOTLOADERS OR WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS - - START HERE​----------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
* * When using Heimdall or ODIN - Designate USB Ports on your computer for each flashing program. Have one USB Port that you only use Heimdall for. Have one USB Port you only use ODIN for. This does not mean you cannot use the designated USB Ports for other functions NOT related to your phone. This is only for flashing with Heimdall and ODIN.
* * Always use a USB Port that is directly connected to your computer - NO USB Hubs or add-on Ports.
* * If possible - Start with a USB Port you have never plugged your phone in to. By doing this you will reduce your probabilities of running into problems.
* * If you have used your phone on every USB Port and/or have no idea where all you have plugged your phone into or used ODIN or Heimdall with - Download [usbdeview-x32.zip] for 32-bit operating systems or [usbdeview-x64.zip] for 64-bit operating systems. Uninstall anything you see that has Samsung and Android related.​----------------------------------------------------------------
o Let's get started:
Go to the following thread: [The T959V Heimdall One-Click Collection] <---- Link
Look for [Download T959VUVKJ6 Stock UVKJ6] - After flashing this download you will have Pure Stock KJ6 Gingerbread. Ideal if you need to return phone for warranty purposes.
Start the download, create a folder on your [C:\] Drive naming it [Android] and save [T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar] to [C:\Android].
While the file is downloading follow this link: [Verify Java Version] <---- Link
Click [Verify Java version].

Hopefully you will see the following:
If you do not - update to the latest version of Java.
Now you should have [T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar] saved on your computer at [C:\Android] and you should have the current version of Java installed on your computer.
----------------------------------------------------------------
o Time to flash:
Go to the newly created folder - [C:\Android] - where you saved [T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar].
You will see [T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar]. Inside the window - Hold down shift and right-click. In the menu that appears - select [Open command window here].
The Command Prompt window will open and you will be at [C:\Android]. Type [java -jar T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar] and press [Enter] on your keyboard.
It will pause, say [false] and run some commands.
* * If you receive the error shown below - ['java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.] - you do not have Java set as a System Path Variable.
* * Directions to fix this error are at the very end of this post.
If you do not [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)] already installed on your computer - a window will open prompting you to install. Check [I have read and accept the license terms] and push [Install].
While [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)] is installing - have your USB cable plugged into your designated Heimdall USB Port.
Pull the battery from your phone. Then put it back in - also putting the back cover back on.
Hold down the [Volume Down/Up] buttons on the left side of your phone. While holding both [Volume Down/Up] buttons plug in the USB cable into your phone. You should see the first image below for Download Mode - however you might see the second image instead - also Download Mode - if you are recovering your phone from a bad flash:
You should now be in Download Mode.
After [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)] is finished installing - Click [Finish].
You will again see the command prompt window. At the bottom of the window you should see [Installing drivers] and a pop up prompting you to put your phone into Download Mode -- which you should already be in Download Mode if following the guide .
Select [OK] and Zadig will open prompting you to install the necessary drivers to flash the One-Click.
In Zadig - Select [Options], then [List All Devices].
You will see [USB Receiver (Interface 0)]. Click your mouse where that appears and a drop-down menu will appear. Select [SAMSUNG USB Composite Device] and it will populate the box.
Now select [Reinstall Driver].
A window will appear - [Installing Driver...] - when completed you should be notified [The driver was installed successfully]. Select [Close].
Close the Zadig window, Heimdall One-Click 1.3.1 window will open and it will say [Connected] with a green highlight in the lower right corner.
Click [Flash] and Wait.
When Heimdall One-Click is finished working - your phone will reboot and run some code - then reboot again. You will see the T-Mobile splash screen and hear the T-Mobile jingle. Now wait again.
When finished - you will boot into your freshly flashed Stock Gingerbread ROM - allow your phone to sit for ten minutes to properly build caches..
[*]If you are upgrading from Froyo to Gingerbread - You will reboot into a Rainbow Like Screen because you still need to Flash Bootloaders. You are OK and this is normal. Proceed to ADDITIONAL STEPS ONLY FOR THOSE NEEDING TO FLASH BOOTLOADERS in the box below.
If you are flashing Bootloaders - Continue with directions in the box directly below.
----------------------------------------------------------------
* * START - ADDITIONAL STEPS ONLY FOR THOSE NEEDING TO FLASH BOOTLOADERS - START * *​
Leave Heimdall One-Click running.
Unplug USB cable from phone. Pull the battery from your phone. Then put it back in - also putting the back cover back on.
Hold down the [Volume Down/Up] buttons on the left side of your phone. While holding both [Volume Down/Up] buttons plug in the USB cable into your phone. Your phone will be back in Download Mode.
Heimdall One-Click will once again say [connected]. This time you are able to put a check mark next to [Flash Bootloaders]. Check the box.
A window will appear warning you that [Flashing Bootloaders is Risky]. Select [Yes] and the window will close.
Now select [flash] one more time and wait.
When Heimdall One-Click is finished - your phone will reboot, you will see code run on your phone screen, then reboot again into the ROM - allow your phone to sit for ten minutes to properly build caches.

CONTINUED DIRECTIONS FOR FLASHING WITHOUT BOOTLOADERS AND WITH BOOTLOADERS​
Enjoy! Hit Thanks Below!

o When you are finished with Heimdall One-Click - your phone will now be running:
Firmware version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: T959VUVKJ6
Build number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6
----------------------------------------------------------------
o Directions to ADD Java as Path Variable:
You first need to find the folder on your computer containing [java.exe]. For me - [java.exe] is in [C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin]. The location of this file is dependent on where you installed Java.
Once the [java.exe] is located - notate the EXACT path [i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin] where the file is located.
Open [System Properties] on your computer. How to open [System Properties] is dependent on your Operating System. However - you can access [System Properties] on most Windows machines by Right Clicking on [Computer] and selecting [Properties]. Please do a Google Search if you are unaware as to the method to access System Properties.
In [System Properties] - select the [Advanced] tab, then select [Environmental Variables...].
In [Environmental Variables...] - under [System variables] look for [Path] and double-click.
In the window that opens - move to the very end of the text in [Variable value:] and add the path of the folder containing [java.exe] separated by a semi-colon. For me - I added [;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\] - no spaces.
Select [Ok] to all the windows you have since opened to make this change.
You will need to close the previous [Command Prompt] window you opened when you received the error and open a new [Command Prompt] window.
Staying away from odin is probably a good idea. It's how I learned and if you know how to use it fast. Maybe not the best for noobs but I still prefer it.
Hopefully noobs actually read this one!
But man I used to love Odin. I never could understand how so many people could mess up Odin, seemed pretty foolproof to me.

I think they do not read enough (i.e. where to put what, what to check and not check) and aren't patient enough to let it finish (because it can sit for awhile and make you think it is frozen).
Sucks that your phone got stolen. Don't know if would have helped or not but Lookout is a great app. Virus scan as well as phone locator. Free on market.

how do i flash the kernel
---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------
do i just put the .zip on the sd and go to recovery wipe cache and davlik cache
What ROM are you running?
If u are on a GB ROM and rooted you can just download SGS Kernel Flasher from the market or you can flash the .zip in CWM.
If you read this guide you will learn how to do what you need to your phone without using ODIN or Heimdall.
Good luck.
Thanks for a simple and logical explanation of the process. I upgraded to GB 2.3.6 using Odin and it works great. Now I'm ready to take the next step, but I have one question.
When I upgraded to the stock ROM, all my programs, screens, contacts, settings, etc. were intact just as they were in Froyo. If I flash a custom Kernel and ROM, will I have to reinstall programs, set up email accounts again, etc.?
...........
It depends what ROM you flash but yes you will likely lose your apps and data - which is often a good idea anyways to prevent conflicts with the new ROM.
You can use something like Titanium Backup to back up ur apps and data if you want. Though read up on the best ways to do that. Most apps have within them backups. That is what I generally do. I have found fresh installs of the apps themselves are best. And restoring settings and data within the app itself works well.
If you need more help please don't hesitate to ask.
Edited. Sometimes in a long thread people may not be sure what you are responding to, hence the OP quote.
No problem. Let me know if you need any help.

Since you are on stock GB and rooted - find the section in the OP of this thread that says what to do with your phone on stock GB and rooted. It will talk about SGS Kernel Flasher.

To all Hyperion users,
I got a message from our moderator regarding reports that Hyperion 7's zip package contains root explorer which is a paid app. During testing I added RootExplorer to make debugging init.d scripts easier. Due to excitement and demand for the new build, I forgot to remove RootExplorer and accidentally uploaded a zip package that contains this paid app. Starting today, link to Hyperion will be disabled until a new build is ready. Sorry for the inconvenience and my apologies to Speed Software Developers.
Thanks and Regards,
Carl

In some cases (if flashed via CWM), the status bar might remain in "busy mode" until you restart your device.
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE STUCK IN BOOT LOGO? -IF IT STAYS THERE FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. IF THAT'S THE CASE, TRY RE-FLASHING THE ROM OR FLASH STOCK ROM FIRST VIA ODIN BEFORE HYPERION :highfive:​
Installation Troubleshooting Guide
​INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
​In the past days, as we have observed, there had been installation issues for new and existing users. We know how annoying it is to get a bootloop, installation aborted and many installation related problem, so here you go, I will put every single scenario that had been reported and the best solution to install the best (according to users) rom when it comes to performance and style :victory:
Whenever I flash a new build, I have this "one-shot-install" method I am keeping. This one works whether you are jumping from one kernel to another. The one-shot-install step is:
Flash stock via Odin (Recommended)
Format SD Card to remove any unwanted files, orphaned data from previous ROM and of course, junk files.
Copy Hyperion zip package to sd card
Reboot to CWM using TempCWM if you are on stock ROM, or the built in CWM from savie's kernel if you are a previous Hyperion user and skipped flashing stock via Odin
Go to Mounts and Storage and mount /system, /data, /cache and sdcard
After mounting, Go back to main menu using the power button
Navigate to Advance (Advanced and Debugging)
Select Wipe dalvik-cache -this helps you avoid bootloops
Select Wipe batterystats -this ensures your battery gauge gets re-calibrated on first boot
After doing wiping dalvik and battstats, Go back to main menu using the power button
Select Wipe data/reset
Select Wipe cache
After doing data and cache wipe, select install update from sdcard
Select zip from sd card
Select Hyperion zip pacakage and install
Wait for the system to complete installation, it will take 2-5 minutes (maximum) to complete installation
Reboot your device
BELOW ARE THE REPORTED SCENARIOS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES WHY INSTALLATION FAILS​ COMMON FAILED INSTALLATION SCENARIO(S)
SCENARIO 1:
"I flashed Hyperion after flashing stock rom via Odin but every time I use Temp CWM and try to flash Hyperion, it goes back to stock recovery. No error is shown on recovery"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Incomplete download.
HOW TO AVOID:
Use a MD5 Sum checker. You can ask our dear friend Google for any md5 sum checker, it's free and it is usually less than 1 MB to download. Always make sure your zip package is intact and complete.
QUICK GUIDE TO CHECKING MD5 SUM:
Open your MD5 checker
Select the Hyperion package you downloaded
Paste the MD5 sum value from the download page in DevHost (MD5 Sum: c8a0b092b53165db700943ba72b885d3)
If it matches, then that means the zip package you have is intact and complete​SCENARIO 2:
"I can't flash Hyperion via stock or CWM, it shows installation aborted"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Bad or damaged zip package
HOW TO AVOID:
Check the md5 sum and make sure your zip package is not damaged. If it is damaged, md5 checker will show you MD5 Hash Sum mismatch.​SCENARIO 3:
I flashed Hyperion but nothing happened, I still have stock rom or previous custom rom
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
/system, /data, /cache partitions were not mounted in CWM prior to installation
HOW TO AVOID:
Super duper hyper mega easy; Go to Mounts and Storage and make sure they are all mounted​BOOT LOOP SCENARIO(S)
SCENARIO 1:
"I am using a custom rom and I flashed Hyperion on top of it without flashing stock via Odin. After flashing, my device goes to endless boot loop. My previous custom rom includes a custom kernel"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Custom kernel (boot.img) from previous ROM
HOW TO AVOID:
The safest way to install a custom rom (in this scenario, Hyperion) on a device running a different custom rom with custom kernel is to revert back to stock rom first because jumpring from one kernel to another will surely cause boot loops. That is why we always recommend flashing stock rom first before flashing Hyperion.​STUCK AT BOOT LOGO SCENARIO(S)
SCENARIO 1:
"I am using a custom rom with repencis kernel or merruk kernel prior to flashing Hyperion. After flashing Hyperion, I am stuck on boot logo (the samsung galaxy y blah blah screen)."
+
Same scenario above but; "I flashed stock rom via odin, but every time I do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, it shows me error mounting rfs blah blah"
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Both repencis and merruk are known to convert your device's File System (FS) to EXT4. If your device's file system is EXT4 and not RFS (Robust File System), flashing Hyperion will fail, but boot.img (kernel) will be flashed.
SYMPTOMS OF EMMC FORMATTED TO EXT4:
CWM cannot mount /system but all partitions can be mounted
Stock recovery cannot do data and cache wipe
HOW TO AVOID/FIX:
Given your phone is already formatted to EXT4, there is nothing you can do but to repartition your device's EMMC (the chip where we install the device's OS) using Odin.
But remember I have written "but boot.img (kernel) will be flashed"? This will help you in solving this kind of issue.
Please keep in mind that this issue is not a problem with Hyperion rom, if CWM and Stock recovery cannot mount your /system partition, no custom rom can be successfully installed on your device.
Now this is the work around . . .
Since boot.img will always be flashed, that means if the kernel on the rom you are installing have CWM installed, then you will have CWM as recovery.
Now that's a good news because your default recovery now is CWM, and you can use it to format partitions back to its default file system. Follow the steps below:
Remove the battery of your device
Press the recovery key combination to boot into recovery
If you are lucky, you will be able to reboot to CWM (given you flashed Hyperion)
Once you are in recovery, Go to mounts and storage and format /system, /data and /cache
Once format is successful, reboot recovery using the "Reboot recovery" option
After rebooting recovery, mount the partitions and try flashing Hyperion again.
Wireless and Networking Troubleshooting Guide
WIRELESS AND NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE​WIFI ISSUE(S)
WIFI ISSUE 1:
WiFi gets disconnected once phone is locked or the display turns off​
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Okay, don't panic. This is not a bug. This behavior is the one responsible why you save battery even if you don't turn off your WiFi radio and this is called WiFi Sleep Policy.
HOW TO AVOID:
Currently Hyperion have 3 WiFi policies available in Settings Tab > Wireless and Network > WiFi Settings > Advanced > WiFi sleep policy.​
WiFi Sleep Policies:
When screen turns off - if selected, wifi will turn off automatically when the screen turns off (obviously)
Never when plugged in - if selected, wifi will not turn off automatically when connected via AC or USB port and is getting power from either AC or USB.
Never - if selected, wifi will never turn off automatically - default setting in stock roms
WIFI ISSUE 2:
WiFI cannot connect to any wireless hot spot and/or wireless networks
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Still UNKNOWN. The dev team are thinking that only production specific GT-S5360 devices are affected with this issue.
Based on user feedback, we are in conclusion that the following might be causing the problem:
Savie's special built kernel for Hyperion
Netforks Tweak
Mother of Host
HOW TO AVOID:
Currently, we have the following fix but not all or even none of the below suggestion may fix the problem depending on your SGY.
A simple reboot will fix the WiFi connection problem
Flashing your device's radio image (baseband) via Odin will fix the problem
Removing NetForks tweak will fix the problem
Removing Mother of Host may fix the problem
QUICK GUIDE TO FLASHING BASEBAND
Open Odin and locate the firmware files for your device
Connect your device to computer using USB Data Cable (USB Cable)
On the PHONE field, locate the MODEM file for your device
Click start to start flashing BASEBAND
NOTE:
You will only flash the PHONE file​
QUICK GUIDE TO REMOVING NETFORKS TWEAK
Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc/init.d
Delete 04netforks_tweak
Using root explorer, navigate to data/
Delete droidfolks folder
Reboot your device
INTERNET ISSUE(S)​INTERNET ISSUE 1:
Cannot open websites and or cannot surf the web​
CAUSE OF ISSUE:
Mother of all Hosts​
For some reason, most of the website that can't load on any browser are website like mediafire, 4shared and other file hosting sites which what they have in common are ADs, Popups, Counters and Surveys. Since MOH is blocking these type of web activities, some webpages may not load. Specially those sites that are configured not to load when their advertisements are disabled by either the browser or internet connection.​
HOW TO AVOID: Thanks to Dr.oidbio for pointing this out​
OPTION 1​
Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc​
Replace hosts file with any hosts file from stock or other custom roms​
Reboot your device​
OPTION 2:
Using root explorer, navigate to system/etc
Open hosts file with text editor and edit the content
Delete everything except​
Code:
[LEFT]#
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 local[/LEFT]
Reboot your device​​CONFIRMED WORKING FIX​​REPORTED BY: AlvaroOrduna
Therefore, I set to work and I solved the Wifi issue (obviously with your helpful guides). So that I wanted to share with you the procedure to solve the problem. Here are the steps I took:​1. Delete 04netforks_tweak from system/etc/init.d
2. Delete droidfolks folder from data/
3. Edit the hosts file in system/etc deleting all except:#
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 local​4. Reflash baseband via Odin
It should be mentioned that I do these steps on flashing zip. I mean, I edit the ROM in the computer and then I install it following the steps in INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE. Everything else works fine, but in the future I will continue to watch to see how the phone behaves. If something goes wrong and you do not mind, I will report it.​​

TRANSLATING HYPERION​TOOLS YOU NEED:
Any apk tool for decompiling and recompiling like APK Tools, APK Manager and APK Changer Alpha 11 - APK Manager and APK Changer Alpha 11 are the one I'm using. Take note, it's alpha 11, not the latest version of APK Changer.
Notepad++ - a GNU editor you can download from HERE
WHERE TO GET THEM:
APK Multitool - http://apkmultitool.com
APK Changer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189971
APK Tools - I don't know where to get it. Ask dear Google.​HOW TO SETUP YOUR TOOLS:
I advice you use APK Changer as it has an automated setup where you can configure this tool as you install it.
Follow the installation/setup steps for the tool of you choice
After that look for C:\Users\<User>\apktool\framework folder. Ex: C:\Users\Carl\apktool\framework
Take framework-res.apk and rename it to 1.apk
Take twframework-res.apk and rename it to 2.apk
Copy 1.apk and 2.apk to C:\Users\<User>\apktool\framework
HOW TO TRANSLATEPREPARE APKS
In this example, we will modify Settings.apk and translate it to Spanish language.
Take Settings.apk from stock ROM that supports Spanish and rename it to Settings-ES. If your language is not Spanish, then of course you need to take Settings.apk from stock rom for you region which support your language.
Take Settings.apk from Hyperion. You don't need to rename it. Leave it as it is.
DECOMPILE APKS
Once you have all the needed APKS for modding, place it inside the folder designated by the tool you're using for decompiling. In this example I am using APK Changer, so I will put Settings.apk and Settings-ES.apk to C:\Apk-Changer_alpha11\place-files-here-for-modding folder
Open your tool, in this case it is APK Changer. If you installed this already prior to preparing APKS, then you should have the main menu where you have the option to decompile/compile.
Decompile both Settings-ES.apk and Settings.apk
TRANSLATE/ADD ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE TO APK
After decompiling apk, look for the "values" folder inside the decompiled APK. In this case I use APK Changer so I will navigate to C:\Apk-Changer_alpha11\out\Settings\res
You should to the same for Settings-ES and open it in another folder so you can view both folders side-by-side
You can simply take "values-es" folder from Settings.apk and copy it to Settings\res
After copying folder, open Settings\res\strings and add the values present in Settings.apk's res\values\strings.xml to "values-es" folder.
After that, compile your APK and now you have a translated version of APK.
Do this for every app you want to be translated.
OF COURSE MOST OF US ARE LAZY AND ONLY KIND ENOUGH TO TRANSLATE, SO I'LL POST HERE THE FILES YOU NEED TO EDIT AND TRANSLATE AND IF I HAVE TIME AND I AM NOT FEELING LIKE A LAZY MONKEY, I WILL BE THE ONE TO COMPILE THE APK FOR YOU.​NOTE:
Only strings.xml and arrays.xml values needs translation. You only need to translate values inside
Code:
<string name="[COLOR=Red][B]alert_mesage_recipients[/B][/COLOR]">[COLOR=SeaGreen][B]Alert message recipients[/B][/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR=Red][B]text_you_should_not_translate[/B][/COLOR]">[COLOR=SeaGreen][B]Text you should translate[/B][/COLOR]</string>
Example:
<string name="alert_mesage_recipients">Alert message recipients</string>
You will translate "Alert message recipients"
You should NOT translate "alert_mesage_recipients"
Translated example:
<string name="alert_mesage_recipients">Alerta destinatarios del mensaje</string>​GET FILES HERE

[alert] for all scripts claiming they are supercharged

NOTIFICATION! FOR ALL SCRIPTS CLAIMING THEY SUPERCHARGE YOUR SYSTEM (OR INSTALL SUPERCHARGER v6)​​​​NOTE: Don't be confused in difference between Performance SuperCharge or SuperCharger v6 (Here its, SuperCharger v6)
There is no script (until now) in this world that can SuperCharge a system from recovery.
The thing is:
It seems that the problem with ICS, at least according to the dev, is that the OS no longer reads ADJ values out of build.prop but rather has them stored and hardcoded in services.jar, which makes this script only be half as useful as it was before. The dev has provided a nifty way to actually change these values in services.jar, and it can be done from the comfort of your Android device, thanks to a web app created to “patch” the services.jar so that the script can take effect in full force.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Here is proper installation steps:
===================================================================
Installation - Easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Run the NEWEST V6 SuperCharger script as always.
Note: You may get Segmentation Fault errors running the V6 SuperCharger script on ICS due to a flakey su (superuser) binary.
To resolve the issue, you can:
A) Go HERE for a fixed su binary. No more fugly segfaults! - Thanks to wraithdu
OR...
B) Go HERE and get the SuperCharger Starter Kit!
2. Patch and install services.jar - by whichever method you like best. Your options are, in order of EFFECTIVENESS:
Note: Options A, B and C require Java to be installed on your computer - Click to Verify Java Installation
Option A) Use one of the -=Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools=- (exe or zip) which DO EVERYTHING for you "Fully Ultimatically" on DEODEX & ODEX ROMS!
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option B below is the next preferred method - but there's manual work involved.
Option B) Follow the complete tutorial below and use -=Ultimate Jar Power Tools=- patcher script to automate Step 5 - the actual smali editing!
There are actually 56 edits performed via script... many more than what is specified in the tutorial!
Note that the script allows you to choose the level of your Launcher's Super Strength! (BulletProof, Die-Hard, or Hard To Kill)
Also be sure to have the necessary smali files in the same folder as the script!
ODEX ROMS - ALL Stock ROMS are ODEX (I think... ) So if you have a services.odex file, press the button!
All but Step 5 is automated on Windows with a batch script courtesy of rexstor .
See [Guide][Batch][Odex Rom only!] To get another 50% v6 Supercharged script for ICS!
So you'd run the batch script, and for the editing, run my Ultimate Jar Power Tools patcher script in Step 5
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option C) Follow the complete tutorial below without using any Patcher tool.
This is actually pointless to do - there are less edits and it's more work And the laziest people should just do D) below lol
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option D) Use the latest Update 9 RC* and select ICS Service Centre's Automatic Transmission! (OUT OF DATE)
Seemless webapp integration and installation to "Lock home in Memory"
Note: This is currently out of date - latest edits and Maximum MultiTasking Mods are NOT included and it does not work on Jelly Bean!
Goto Step 3 if you did this!
Option E) ICS OOM Priority Charger webapp. Same effectiveness as D) but done manually (OUT OF DATE)
Latest Update 9 RC* can install and apply permissions via ICS Service Centre's manual mode
Important: The webapp WON'T WORK for ODEX roms! So if you have a services.odex file, you have use a more effective option above
Also won't work on Jelly Bean ROMS!
More Webapp Info
Just go to http://android.mimic.ca with your devices browser and follow instructions!
In case of upload problems: If your Android browser closes while selecting file to upload, use Opera Mini web browser because it lets you select a file from within the app. Just copy services.jar to the sdcard first
CWM zip option is available!
But if you don't get the CWM zip, and instead download the modded services.jar, you can:
A) Do Steps 8 to 10 below! But first In Terminal Emulator, just type su and enter, busybox mount -o remount,rw /system and enter (Mount system as read/write).
OR...
B) Use the ICS Service Centre's manual mode in V6U9RC*
Help for webapp: Go to http://webchat.freenode.net , channel #v6_supercharger and talk to blk_jack (or me if I'm there)
* All roms (odex & deodex) - to install a patched services.jar/odex, you can use the ICS Service Centre's manual mode in V6U9RC9+ (for Steps 8 and 9 below).
* If you ever have trouble applying permissions to services.jar/odex, just run the ICS Service Centre and permissions gets applied everytime just before returning to the main menu!
3. SuperClean & ReStart! (ie. Wipe Dalvik Cache & Reboot)
Notes: For decent launcher detection use at least V6U9 RC6.9 or newer and check the bOOM Stick to see if the launcher the desired ADJ value!
.......... - Boot will take a LONG time as it "optimizes all your apps"
.......... - If it doesn't boot (unlikely if you did the edits yourself), try wiping caches (not data)
.......... - If it still doesn't boot, you can always just re-flash your current untouched rom but do have a backup nevertheless.
.......... - If you get FCs, fixing permissions will solve that. (Use the "Fix Emissions" Option in the latest V6 SuperCharger Script! )
That's It!

Flashable zip --> A zip that is flashed in recovery (you can also use in-app flasher of DualBootPatcher app if you are booted to other ROM). There is NO restriction of TWPR version for usage of TWRP2.8.7.0 only. You can use latest TWRP3.x too for these zips.
VRTheme Flashable zip --> A zip that is flashed in recovery (you can also use in-app flasher of DualBootPatcher app if you are booted to other ROM - though I havent tried that). There is no restriction for usage of TWRP2.8.7.0. You can use latest TWRP3.x too for these zips. It changes only a part of apk. Not whole apk.
Aroma-flashable zip --> A zip that can ONLY be flashed in recovery. There is a restriction on TWRP version, you have to use only TWRP2.8.7.0. That is valid until lss1977 finishes his work on making aroma installer working on TWRP3
:fingers-crossed:​Here, I will list the post numbers and to which MOD/MOD group they are referred to.

Aroma-flashable MagMa-NX MOD for C5/N7 Smart Manager​I present you a modified version of Smart Manager MOD previously shared by karkasss. This one includes only C5 and N7 smart managers and excluded UDS from aroma.
Please read the aroma screen after successful flashing. I will copy the text here too:
Code:
CAUTION!!!
Use correct SystemUI for selected SM or else you
will not be able to tweak powersaving from quicksettings
In case you do not have correct systemUI,
you will have to toggle it from Smart Manager itself
or by clicking on 'more settings' from quicksettings
Please read this notice and don't write a bug report
saying that you cannot toggle it from quicksettings
And also, I could not change the donation email
to the newest one. It should be [email protected]
:))
Basically, power saving toggle is main reason of having a different UI for C5 SM. I haven't tried an in-depth testing of N7 UI with C5 SM, but the difference you will have is, instead of being able to toggle power saving directly from quick setting toggle:
a. You will need to go to Smart Manager app, click on battery and then to power saving
or
b. Click on text of quick settings, then click on more settings, then click on power saving (explained in screenshots)
I will share the modified UI for Separated Notification UI, but for rest of them, I couldn't yet build a working UI. The difference between early and new UI and changes in smali stuff block me from producing a functioning UI for C5 SM. Unfortunately smali coding is not my best suit, so I refrain to edit them. Thus, for users on other UI:
- If you want to have C5 SM you can have it, just keep in mind the text above.
I repeat, Smart Manager MOD zip is INDEPENDENT OF SYSTEM UI

1. Separated Noti UI MOD for MagMa NX UX8.5​
Hello;
I am presenting you 3 MODs on Sep.Noti. UI on UX8.5
a. Stock Sep.Noti. UI with C5 SM
b. Even More Modified Sep.Noti. UI with N7 SM
c. Even More Modified Sep.Noti. UI with C5 SM
As I have explained on Smart Manager MOD post, power saving toggle is the main reason for having a different UI for C5 SM.
The modifications are same as previous even more modified UI:
- Added 6x3 and 9x2 toggles for portrait and landscape, respectively
- Removed Toggle text arrow for symmetric look (nougat also doesn't have that arrow)
- Minimized free space between toggles
- Removed lines between toggles and toggle names
"Stock UI with C5 SM" has same stock look, but it is also usable for tweaking power saving directly from quick toggles.

Nougat System UI ver5​
Here, I tried to combine all nougat system UI into one flashable zip file with Aroma installer. The screen looks like this (sorry for bad quality photo, I took it with webcam):
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- First column is choice of "Note7 device maintenance" vs "C5 Smart manager"
- Second column is choice of "with brightness bar" or "no brightness bar"
- Third column is choice of "5 Toggles per row" or "6 Toggles per row" in notification panel/quick toggles.
Please choose wisely with respect to which smart manager/device maintenance you have. If you want to change the smart manager, you need to flash ROM in mods update mode and make you choice there. After that you can flash this zip and make your selection according to your current smart manager/device maintenance choice.
File size is over 130MB, so I am presenting both G-Drive and MEGA download links with MD5

Power Menu Mod for Screenshot and ScreenRecord Functions on Power Menu for MagMa NX VX1 PCE​
I present you the screenshot and screencast (i.e. screen recording) functions on power menu of MagMa NX VX1 PCE by following original post with instructions.
Beware: Do not use screenrecord function right after booting. You need to wait for a while for apps to get ready. I suppose 60-90 seconds after boot should be ok. If you meet any issue when using right after boot, long press screen record notification, go to app info page and clear data. After that there will not be any issues. But it is rarely observed and mostly because users tried to record screen right after booting to ROM.
Read this post if you have flashed squirclization MOD but still have circle icons.

Power Menu Color Mod for MagMa NX VX1 PCE​
This flashable zip adds colors to power menu icons. It is a vrtheme flashable and can be flashed on both power menu MOD and stock framework on MagMa NX VX1 PCE. Credits to @Rohan1996 for edited icons:
Warning: For now, if you use framework files edited by Rohan1996 (like black noti UI that contains his framework-res), you should not flash this zip. In case you flash it and get any issue, flash either Rohan1996's UI zip containing full framework-res file, or flash any of the power menu zips (MOD or stock) for MagMa NX VX1 PCE. We talked with Rohan1996, and he will edit his framework accordingly for coherence of future zips.

Squirclization MOD for MagMa NX VX1 PCE​
This MOD will replace circle icons in your app drawer/homescreen with squircle icons (the ones that were present in MagMa NX till VX1 PCE). This MOD consists of 2 parts. You need to flash both of them, and consequently.. First part is rename script. Second part is icon editing script.
Caution: You will get android optimization at boot, for at most 25 applications (depending on how many applications you have in your system currently that are being modified by zip). Please report with any system icon that is not squircle (all 3rd party apps are already on default after flashing this MOD).
Changelog:
ver1.3:
- fixed S7 and N4 camera icons

Limitation: I tried many ways to make circle the icon of updated app (by Google Play or Galaxy App or by manually installing updated apk), but it failed. An example on gearmanager app:
- when editing icon inside base.apk in data/app/com.samsung.android.watchmanager, it gets removed from registry at next boot. I thought maybe because of oat, but it wasnt.
- I tried moving base.apk from data/app/com.samsung.android.watchmanager to data/tmp, then rename it to gearmanager.apk, then replace lib folder an apk in system/priv-app/gearmanager with these apk and lib, then remove data/app/com.samsung.android.watchmanager folder in recovery. But it also didnt work
Until I can figure out how to update apk inside data/app, there are three ways to cope with it:
1. Uninstall update, download updated apk (from web), replace apk (libs too if libs are present) in system, flash circlization zip.
2. Uninstall update and dont use updated app.
3. Install update and use with squircle icon.​
Unfortunately for now these are only options available.

Disable Hardware Back and Recents key for Full S8-like UI with Navbar​
Caution: Use this ONLY if you have Navbar enabled! For enabling NavBar, read this
Works independent of SystemUI
This mod will remove the functions of hardware buttons from back and recents key on left and right side of home button. I will make one more mod to remove home button function, but I discaurage using it, since home button is not that easy to slip and press. So, I advise to let it stay working.
Recents + Back Button Remove Mod
Recents + Back + Home Button Remove Mod
Enable all HW keys again
You can also do it manually by editing system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl file. You need to add "#" in front of key 158 and key 139 for removing back and recents keys. For home button, you need to do same for key 172.
PLEASE Report back afterwards

Center Clock MOD for MagMa NX​
Hello.
Here I share a vrtheme MOD for center clock using this guide thanks to Dejan Sathanas who showed me the post and karkasss who helped me debug some issues. It does not interrupt any other part of systemUI other than hidden buttons in statusbar, thus I will share a different MOD for UI with hidden buttons.
There are in total 6 MOD zips. 2 for separated notification (one MOD zip and one stock zip), 2 for grouped notification with hidden buttons UI (again, one MOD zip and one stock zip) and lastly 2 for s8 UI (both 5toggles and 6toggles) + grouped UI (one MOD zip and one stock zip).
Cautionlease have a flashable zip for your systemUI or at least have the ROM.zip in your sdcard so that you can do a mods update if anything will go wrong.

Flashable Zips for Bluelight Filter ver1 and ver2 for MagMa NX​
Flashable zip for reverting back to blueligh ver1 was introduced by karkasss here. I also provide an extra flashable zip for bluelight ver2, whose files were extracted from Fougat ROM by Beesvee here.
Caution 1: Please wait for some time for bluelight to kick in. It may take up to 5-15 minutes after first boot. Please don't report back saying bluelight filter doesn't work without waiting enough time
Caution 2: Bluelight filter ver1 and ver2 have different filters as default, where ver1 has bluelight filter with brightness loss (when you increase bluelight filter intensity, loss of blue light is accompanied by loss of brightness of screen), whereas ver2 has blueligh filter without brightness loss. It is tweakable by changing filter.cfg. I can provide a flashable file for such filter.cfg if requested.

ODIN-flashable PIT file to increase "/System" Space presented by @Subin khan​
Here, you will find an ODIN-flashable PIT file that can be used to increase /system partition space for extra 400MB (from 2300MB to 2700MB) by decreasing usable space in sdcard by 400MB. This is practical when you have a ROM that has too many apps in it (like UX8.0, UX8.1 and UX8.5), so that when you don't debloat it, it will lead to disappearance of some apps from system/app or system/priv-app. Please read notice below:
Flashing new pitfile will repartition your memory so that 400MB from your usable space in sdcard will be transferred to /system partition. To achieve this, every file on your phone will be wiped. PLEASE backup EFS. Also backup ALL important files. They will be WIPED
P.S. The pitfile is indicating HLTE, but I suppose it can be flashable to all snapdragon note3 with 32GB memory.

Flashable Zip for N7 Camera Pro Lite mode by @Subin khan​
This MOD was presented by Subin khan here, by claim that camera modes don't work. This MOD replaces pro modes of note7 camera with pro lite mode. You are losing pro mode functions as ISO, dual camera and photo effects. But you also lose autofocus, which FC note7 camera. Instead you get a pro lite mode, with options that don't FC note7 camera. There is already a flashable zip shared on same post to revert back to note 7 pro mode.

"How-To" Post​
In this post you will see some examples of what can be done using flashable zips. The examples mostly will be provided as singular usage, but you can also mix the method in one flashable zip (for example make an aroma-flashable zip, that acts as deleting some folders/files, extracting files into root folder, before changing an xml value after changing an apk via vrtheme method). These are not golden rules, I just brought up what I can remember. If I can be helpful, this will give a smile on my face
1.
How to Prepare a simple Flashable Zip​
All MODs (at least for now) are zips that are flashable in recovery. To build a flashable zip, you need to:
1. Download an example simple flashable zip
2. Download and install Notepad ++ or Atom Editor
3. Download and install 7zip File Manager
Now, every flashable zip has to have "META-INF" folder. Inside "META-INF\com\google\android" folder you will find "update-binary" and "updater-script" (other than in aroma-flashable zips, where you will find aroma files too). Update-binary should stay as it is. But "updater-script" can be changed depending on need.
An example updater-script has been provided as:
Code:
ui_print("Starting");
unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
unmount("/preload");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Mounting Partitions");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/dalvik");
ui_print("Placing files");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
ui_print("Unmounting Partitions");
unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
unmount("/cache");
ui_print("Done!");
This script has important parts that can be explaines as shown below:
- ui_print("..."); --> What is written in screen while flashing is going on. You can put explanatory stuff as "Flashing Circle checkbox MOD" or "Flashing Nougat Gallery" and etc inside quotes (").
- unmount and mount --> Before flashing a zip, it is important to mount required partition. If files to be flashed are inside "/data" then you have to mount "data" firstly, then afterwards unmount "data"
- package_extract_dir --> This shows where the files will be extracted to. If you have files to be flashed in "/system" folder, then you need to have a line saying "package_extract_dir("system", "/system")". Here, it means that the files inside "system" folder of zip will be placed into "/system" folder in the root folder of phone.
By modifying these regions you can assign which files will be sent to which folder while flashing. To learn more, feel free to look at the zips shared in this thread.
When you need to change a flashable zip, dont extract it. You need to get used to work with 7zip file manager. Open the flashable zip with 7zip, then select a file that you want to edit. For example let's say you want to edit updater-script. Open zip with 7zip, go to META-INF\com\google\android folder inside zip and locate updater-script. You can see that it has no extension. Now, select it and drag it outside the zip (for example to desktop or any other folder inside computer). After finishing editing, use same principle for placing file inside the zip; as in, select the file outside the zip, then drag it inside the zip. There will be a prompt saying "Are you sure you want to copy files into archive?", click "yes".
Now, any changes done in updater-script or any other text file (for example scripts with ".sh" extension) has to be done using "Notepad++" (or similar neat text editor like "Atom Editor"). Never use "Notepad", "Wordpad", "Office Word" or other text editors (I have done that mistake, believe me). I try to drag any file that will be changed outside zip, edit it, then drag it back. I don't edit files that are opened from inside the zip.
2.
How to Prepare a File/Folder Cleaner Flashable Zip​
File/Folder Cleaner is an easier version of flashable zip. Mostly, such zips contain lines for deleting folders/files in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script file. Two main deleting lines in updater-script are "delete" and "delete-recursive". Delete command removes a file, whereas delete_recursive removes a folder. An example provided below is showing both delete commands.
As always, you firstly need to mount the folder which you will edit. As default, /system, /data and /cache are mounted even if not all of them are changed. Then, the delete and/or delete_recursive lines. And lastly, obviously you need to unmount mounted folders.
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/SamsungBilling");
delete("system/app/AdvSoundDetector_2015/AdvSoundDetector_2015.apk");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/cache");
3.
How To Prepare an XML Editor Zip​
These zips require an sh script. For example, a script to change a line from "bikemode|globalaction" to false is as follows:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
sed -i 's/ConfigBikeMode>bikemode|globalaction/ConfigBikeMode>FALSE/g' /system/csc/feature.xml
These were used for example in S8 TWHome zip. To have a working S8 TWHome on MagMa-NX without FC you have to change "support_nfc_hw_keyboard" from "true" to "false" in floating_feature.xml. For that case you need following script:
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
sed -i 's/SUPPORT_NFC_HW_KEYBOARD>TRUE/SUPPORT_NFC_HW_KEYBOARD>FALSE/g' /system/etc/floating_feature.xml
Such script editors are mostly beneficial for users that dont have root access to change files in root folder.
To run such scripts, you also need extra lines in updater_script. Firstly, you need to copy the script to phone to be able to run it. So, you require a package_extract_dir function to copy files from zip to phone. For sh scripts, the de facto rule is to copy it into /tmp folder, since it will be removed after being executed. After copying file, you obviously need to give the correct permissions, which are set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/xxx.sh"). Then, you execute the script with run_program line. Lastly, you remove the whole /tmp folder with delete_recursive. It looks like this:
Code:
package_extract_dir("nxteam/script", "/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/feature.sh");
run_program("/tmp/feature.sh");
delete_recursive("/tmp");
For our example, the feature.sh was taken from S8 TWHome script, where the support_nfc_hw_keyboard was turned from "true" to "false".

How to Prepare a VRTheme-Flashable Zip​
"Original VRTheme engine is copyright VillainROM 2011"​
To build a VRTheme flashable zip, you need to:
1. Download an example VRTheme flashable zip
2. Download and install Notepad ++ or Atom Editor
3. Download and install 7zip File Manager
VR in VRTheme, is abbreviation of Villain Rom, but not virtual reality. Now, in vrtheme engine, the developer has written a code that can directly change the files inside apk. As you know, apk is in a zipped format, as in, you can explore inside of it using a zip-folder viewing program. You can do it on android too. I am using Mixplorer file manager for android with its archive add-on for that case.
Let's turn back to topic. As you can see, there are differences inside a decompiled apk and an apk opened via file/zip manager. Depending on app type, you can see classes.dex, classes2.dex, resources.arsc and etc in apk opened via file/zip manager. These include smali folder and values folder (for details, reader is referred to google). Other folders inside /res directory (like layout, anim and drawable) are open to editing via this method. Basically, this engine enters apk using zip archive, does editing inside it and then exits apk.
I told above that the layout, anim and drawable folders are prone to changes via this method (examples are "Circle Checkbox MOD", "Hidden Button MOD" and "Center Clock MOD"). But dont think only they can be changed. No. If the changes are only inside smali or values folder, you can again use this method. But now, instead of changing some images in drawable or xml files in layout, you will have to replace whole that file (classes.dex, classes2.dex, resources.arsc and etc). This method was also used, in "Enable NavBar MOD" (explained in further below the paragraph).
Differences in files flashed via vrtheme is that you have to use files extracted from inside apk, not use decompiled files. For example if you need to replace an xml inside an apk, you cannot use an edited xml decompiled from apk. You have to firstly compile the edited apk, then take that file out of that zip and place inside vrtheme zip. That is the only way for vrtheme edited apk to function normally.
Inside the zip you will find nxteam folder, where you will see "icons" and "vrtheme" folders. You shouldnt touch vrtheme folder. You will place the files inside "icons" folder. Inside vrtheme folder, you will find installtheme.sh script, where you will see lines starting like these:
Code:
# start with /system/app
...
# repeat for /system/priv-app
...
# repeat for /system/framework
...
# create restore zip from backup apks
...
This means, the vrtheme can change apks inside these folders. When placing a file from inside an apk, you should not put a zipped or apk file. You have to put the file as extracted from compiled apk. An example from "Enable NavBar MOD":
- Here, I needed to replace resources.arsc from edited framework (bools.xml inside values folder was edited) into framework-res.apk inside system/framework and replace icons of navbar from marshmallow with the ones from S8 inside systemUI.apk. So what I did was, I edited those apk, replaced in my phone, checked that they are working, then I extracted those files from inside compiled apk (since changes in framework-res were in values folder (vlaues/bools.xml), I had to replace whole resourses.arsc; whereas for systemUI the changes were only in drawable fikes inside /res/drawable which can be changed directly) and put inside required folders. I placed both framework folder and priv-app folder inside a "system" folder, then replaced the files that needed to be changed.
Lastly, I dont advise changing updater-script inside META-INF folder of vrtheme flashable zips.

How to Prepare an Aroma-Flashable Zip​
For this part, you can head to Flashable zip creator thread maintained by @Nikhil and @RajatPatel
Nice thread. Keep up the good work ! :good:
Just one question. I think i saw you say in another thread, that a vr theme center clock would be possible ?
I tried it myself. There's even a code, that it hides the statusbar clock on the lock screen (when centered). It either compiles it and the apk isn't working (constant warning that system UI has stopped), or it doesn't even compile it (showing errors i don't know how to troubleshoot). So I'm asking you, since you are the modding master !
Hey men ,i tried to flash navbar but wont working and my phone had bootloop now .

Do you have MagMa NX UX8.0 or UX8.1?? (See attachment) Tested working on them. The mod is acting on framework-res apk. If you have other version or same version with different apk it will not work on yours. You need to ask before doing it or read it. Sorry

Hmm actually havent tried a statusbar mod since I am using FSBI. But yeah, will check it out. Why not:good: can you share the file/line or info from which post you saw it? (Either here or through P.M.)
P.S. It is 1 a.m. now, I am at home (away from my PC). But I can check it tomorrow and post back if I get any good news
I went by this thread.
It says for lollipop, but i got there from a marshmallow Note 5 and Note 4 mod. So i thought it might work on the Note 3 too.
The hide on lock screen code is on the second page.
Please forgive my stupidity if this code is not compatible.
The more i look at it, i think i edited the code wrong, that's why i got the errors. Gonna try it again when i get home.
It's would be better to include pictures of each mods
Just i thought that
