Galaxy Tab Original Blue Theme
This Theme/Patch is for everyone using ROMS based upon JMx firmwares who pine for the original Galaxy Tab bright blue theme.
I was inspired to put this together after flashing the brilliant Galaxy Tab MoDaCo ROM. I love that ROM but for some reason the JMx based firmwares have replaced the lovely bright blue theme with a rather dull blue theme. So...after a bit of testing and patience I have managed to put together a file which restores the original bright blue theme across the system and some of the inbuilt apps (Browser/Sms/Email/Contacts/MyFiles)
Details
This patch replaces a few files on your Tab. To change the system theme it updates:
framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
To update the inbuilt apps it updates:
Browser.apk, Contacts.apk, Email.apk, Phone.apk and MMS.apk
I have manually replaced the graphics in these files to ensure compatibility with the firmware
Installation Instructions
The patch is a flashable zip that can be flashed using Clockwork Recovery

##WARNING## take a Nandroid backup before flashing, I'm not responsible if the flash doesn't work.
I have only tested this on the JMx based MoDaCo R1 ROM. In theory should work on other JMx based ROMs but I can't guarantee for other firmwares
Enjoy

Really there should be a rule: don't use rapidshare in the android forums, it's a pain, if not completely impossibile to use with any kind of android's browser.
And also don't use rar archives, as all the rar apps on android sucks big time

Come on mate, it's the first time I have posted anything, just trying to share the theme with anyone who's interested.
I've added a hotfile link as well.

Flashable Zip to ODEX CyanogenMod 7.2
I've heard that an ODEXed rom can be faster that a deODEXed rom, or at least the apps will load faster. This may or may not be true, but ODEX does provide one noticeable advantage that the system apps and frameworks no longer require storage space on /data in the dalvik-cache. It uses more space on /system, but there is plenty to spare there with CyanogenMod.
One of the main reasons roms are usually deodexed is to allow themers and the like to easily edit apks and frameworks. Since cyanogen has the Theme Chooser app that doesn't need to modify files, I decided to try odexing. This is loosely based off of a script by Decad3nce for the Hero.
So far I haven't noticed anything broken by this, and it seems a bit faster. I have no way to tell if its actually faster, but there's no harm in trying it for yourself.
Advantages:
More free space on /data
Possibly faster app loading time and phone bootup.
Disadvantages:
More space used on /system (so what?)
Moding system apk files and framework not easy. (ex. Theme flashable zips won't work, but CM has its own theme app that still works.)
Instructions:
NANDROID!!!
Flash zip (be patient, it takes a while)
Reboot
How to flash a new nightly: IMPORTANT!
Flash cm_epicmtd_full-##.zip
Flash gapps-gp-20110828-signed.zip
Flash auto-odex-cm7_2.zip
Notes on using custom kernels:
Custom frameworks: If the kernel (or anything else) flashes any .jar file in /system/framework/ you MUST flash it before odexing. If you want to flash after odexing, open the kernel zip on your computer and delete the jar file from /system/framework/.
Zipalign: Kernel's that zipalignshould be flashed after this. My odex script deletes the classes.dex file from every app/framework it odexes which modifys the zips. I haven't verified this, but I am assuming that negates the effects of the zipalign.
If the kernel both zipaligns and has custom frameworks, you must make a choice of which feature you find more useful. If you want zipalign more, delete the custom frameworks and flash after odexing. If you want the custom frameworks more, flash before odexing.
How to undo (deodex):
Do NOT just delete the .odex file from /system/app or /system/framework !!!!!
You have two options here:
Advanced restore nandroid of /system
--OR-- Reflash CyanogenMod and Google Apps.

auto-odex-cm7_2.zip - 948 KB
This has been tested to work on CyanogenMod 7.2 Nightly 12 and 13.
It should work on any other nightly or the RC0, but no guarantees...
How it works:
The flashable zip runs a script that runs a program called dexopt-wrapper on every framework file in BOOTCLASSPATH order, then every system apk included with CM and gapps. It then deletes the classes.dex file from all of those frameworks and apks. Last it clears the dalvik cache since much of it will now be unneeded.
The dexopt-wrapper binary doesn't do much other than properly run the system's dexopt binary with the right arguments.
Credits:
Inspired by a script by Decad3nce
zip binary: taken from metamorph app's googlecode site.
dexopt-wrapper binary: Not in CM, so taken from random mediafire link

Do you mean how to ODEX a previously DEODEX'd file? All the ODEX custom ROMs I've seen are flashable... unless you are discounting those done via ODIN... but that doesn't make up the bulk of ODEX ROMs.
Flashing this with Burrito Manager right now, I'll let you know how it goes =]

Just a thought but if you delivered deodexed files and then deleted the odex file associated with them when you installed and then ran this script on the files you added or modified after the install it would be like delivering odex or deodex to whoever wanted each version and it could key off some config file or just check for the presence of an odex file in the system directory to determine if to odex after installing or not.

He did say that the mod is already flashable. And he didn't specify whether it was previously deodexed because A.) it doesn't matter if the mod had once been odexed and subsequently deodexed, or was and always has been deodexed, and B.) why would he ask how to odex an odexed file? That's an easy one: "step 1.) Don't do anything. step 2.) there is no step 2... (no, don't profit - you haven't done anything)"

I think you misunderstood one of us. I did not suggest that anyone ODEXed something that was already ODEXed, nor did I suggest that anyone else what inquiring how to do that. Maybe you need to re-read it?

I don't believe it's possible to odex files outside of the phone. The odexing process makes use of the dexopt binary on the phone which is part of andriod. I think you pretty much have to do it manually on the phone, or write a script to do it from a flashable zip.
As for flashing new files then odexing them to a rom that has already been odexed, that must be done carefully. If you are just changing an app, then just delete the odex file, replace the app with your deodexed version, then odex it if you want (doesn't have to be odexed). If you want to change one of the framework jar file, you should probably revert the whole rom to deodexed first. The frameworks have to be odexed in BOOTCLASSPATH order, and before any apps are odexed. If one of them is replaced and reodexed later, things will break. Also, if the odexing of any of the framework is changed, it invalidates all the apps that were odexed.
It is possible to leave the framework deodexed and odex just the system apps, but that probably isn't even worth doing, since everything uses the framework, where only relatively a few of the apps are system apps (at least when you have 200+ apps). But this does allow the framework to be modified easier.
My reasoning behind odexing both the framework and the apps is that this is cyanogen. The framework files shouldn't really need modified for anything. Seems like it should be easier to make any changes in the cyanogen source.

Check your ODEX thread. Did you give a look at tanimn's odex tool? I posted it there.
Has anyone tested this, other than zmann of course? Just wondering if anyone has noticed any pros/cons. Also, would it matter which kernel one was using with this mod? The smooth scrolling mod in the newer samurai kernel modifies the framework.jar somewhat i believe.

This worked wonders nightlys 12-14. After flashing the latest samurai kernel with scrolling cache fix, I flashed this again. Did not work. Boot looped. That could be my fault though.

Samurai flashes one of the framework jars, so the one way for it to work is if you reflash nightly and gapps, then samurai, then this.
I've been running this for a couple days on 13 now and it seems so much faster. I don't seem to get the random slowdowns that always seemed to happen with just about every rom.
Edit: its had 40 downloads, so someone must be using it.

Would this have to be flashed after every nightly update and by using the method you mentioned above? Or would this just be a one time flash?

After every nightly, flash gapps, then this. If your flashing samurai, you should flash it before odexing since it modifys framework. If flashing my kernel, flash it after odexing since it zipaligns the system apks.

Ok, thank you. That clears things up alot. Was just getting ready to flash this using your kernel and was gonna flash it before, so you saved my a## there Thank you for this and a great alternative to the samurai kernel. I like them both, but yours is definatly great on battery savings and stability. Great job.

thanks for the info guys. im gonna go ahead and give it a shot. theres still a few things that are unclear to me. one, if i flash the kernel affecting the framework and then this, would the modifications to the framework in the odex zip nullify the modifications used in the smooth scrolling tweak? and two, if i use a morph to theme the lockscreen, will it work with this, and if so should i flash the morph before or after flashing the odex zip? thanks again for the help, i hit the thanks button for all three of you.

I would be interested in these also.
Go to this thread and download the stock Rom.
Extract the files from the zip.
You can then "borrow" whatever files you need.
Note: the above rom is deodexed. I am not 100% sure that all of the files will work. Check and see if you are on odexed rom.
Do you happen to know where they are located within the .zip?

Extract the zip for the ROM.
Go to:
system/app
Extract the TwWallpaperChooser.apk as if it is a zip file (7zip worked for me in Win7).
The wallpapers are in a directory named drawable-hdpi
Stock ICS wallpapers - from the rom linked to in my previous message
Stock GB Wallpapers - I took these from the BoneStocketeer ROM
How can i put all the mods and tweaked apps in one flashable zip so that i don't have to do them one by one...
Example swype dark blue, agps fix, invert gmail, invert play store, invert mms, invert Google music and cm9 reloaded
Could it really be as easy using 7zip and wipe cache flash and fix permissions... I haven't tried this yet but thought id ask first?

Couldn't you just take a relevant CWM zip used for one of those apps and then just drag and drop all your other desired apps into the /system/app folder of that zip? Cause most of the updater-scripts usually just delete any of the files you're replacing --- delete("/system/app/Mms.apk"); --- and then extract the rest of the folder --- package_extract_dir("system", "/system"); --- and then for any other things that aren't just system apps, I'm sure you could just merge the rest of the zips into that one. Like if it's a framework folder thing, just add it in there, and then include the relevant updater-script lines from its original zip into your new one.
I am not part of Team Fah-Q, but I use their ROMs. I made this boot animation to go with them. Please keep in mind that this is the first time that I have done anything Android related without step by step instructions.

Installation:
1) Back up original bootanimation.zip located in root/system/media
2) Download .zip file
3) Move downloaded .zip to media file
4) Rename file to bootanimation.zip
5) Fix Permissions rw-r--r--
