Here's little something for people bored with crappy blur widgets. This update replaces unlocker widget with AOSP (variant with camera and unlocker items) on the phone unlock screen.
Installation:
=========
1. Copy downloaded zip image to your sd card.
2. Reboot into recovery and run update from zip file.
3. Enjoy

The screenshot also appears to have a 1% battery increment mod and the carrier banner has been removed from the top left of the notification bar. Are those mods included in this zip as well?

Yeah the lock screen widgets for beyondpod/google music doesn't work with the modded lock screen here also. Still prefer running the modded one, would be nice to have both ways though.

there is an update.zip that will do what you need.
So what your saying is you just install the new update.zip as we did during the first install?. As stated that means we don't have to uninstall or go back to the stock rom. It pays for us noobs to be certain.

Designgears, you have done this to your phone and it works now. Flashman did you figure out what you did wrong?
The only thing I can figure is I updated through ROM manager. I imagine people that are using the update.zip should have no issues from what I read in the Superuser thread. I am not going to try again for a couple days to be sure, but people are able to make it work without issue. I figured with it showing up in ROM manager it would have been safe to load that way, as I upgraded to 2.2.2 when I first got ROM Manager.

Is this just the updated Su 2.3.1 ??
I see that you also have the http://www.multiupload.com/BCLH94FNVD file on the other thread that seems to include the new root file. Or does this update.zip file include everything?
Excuse me for being extra carefull. Better safe than sorry.
I actually want to install the file that includes the sideloading. I haven't made that mod to my phone yet.
Does the BCLH94FNVD file include everything all in one shot?

If I may.. Was there a changelog? I mean.. 2.2 grants needed privilege. Not trying to be sarcastic at all but I see so many people worried about this or that it left me wondering what was new.
I tried it and it said the update was aborted. Didn't give a reason. I took out the original update file and replaced it with the new one. Should I have left both files in?
Maybe I'm not asking the question right. The link to the update file you added to this thread. Is it for the EliteSuperRooter or is it just for the 2.3.1 root OR would we still have to add the file on the other thread that seems to include the new root file. Or does this update.zip file include everything?

In the General Android Dev forum there is a changelog and he changed a ton of stuff.
edit - It was in Apps and Games my bad.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
for lazy ppl this is what different between 2.2 and 2.3.1
(New for 2.3)
- New layout of main app
- Full logging
- New request layout
- Fixed boot/widget bug
- Date/time format options
- Better notification system
- New icon
- Better allow system
- A whole mess of code cleanup
- Rearranged drawables so that only one apk needs to be built for any firmware
(New for 2.3.1)
- Big bugfixes
- Better support for landscape mode
- better support for ldpi devices
The question is, what does this offer that my current superuser doesn't?
I take no credit whatsoever for this mod. It doesnt get any easier than this. Just copy your /system/framework/framework-res.apk to your sdcard then transfer to computer to use with this tool
http://circle.glx.nl/index.php
If you want to make your own custom battery icons you need to select version Z!!!!!!
It can take up to 3 minutes for your modified framework zip to be posted
After its done, place on sdcard and flash from recovery
*WARNING: if you have a custom theme this may cause boot loops which can only be fixed with a nandroid. Flashing stock wont fix this.
**CREDITS: Fightspit (for makeing this mod), Qliratu (for making the tool to simplify the process), And Mendozinas (for the custom edition)
attachments below are for CM6.0.1

That's what nandroids are for, assuming you made one before you flashed.
Who wants to make a RED one?
figured it out
I found a stock battery file on another link..
Does allow for having the percentage displayed? I currently have that and like it
You'll need to disable the battery percentage, but it is included in the images so you'll still have it.

i have no idea why this would have happened. I took the stock cm6.0.1 framework-res.apk and only changed the necessary pngs and xmls for the battery. If you have a custom theme then its possible that would have been undone.

Hey guys,
I've coded a tiny app to reboot your Optimus 2x or G2x into recovery mode without holding any buttons. Best thing is... it's free ;-) It doesn't install Clockworkmod, so if you want an app for that, check out Paul's paid app for that (Which does it on the O2x only)
I'd be really happy if you'd tap the ad displayed in the application, but you don't need to.
Yes, the app is ugly, fugly, disturbing, etc. but hey, it works :-D
It's to be found in the Android Market here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.m...sma.lgo2xreboot, on AndroidPIT.com http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/marke...recovery-reboot and in the attachment of course!
Update: Implented a check if the app is runnning on an LG Optimus 2x or G2x.
Update #2: Made the app less fugly, thanks to fitsnugly.
Update #3: SU660 compatibility
I also attached the source code, if you're interested.
APK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=575213&stc=1&d=1303472096
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=575214&stc=1&d=1303472096
I think you need to update the description coz right now it includes the message below.
!!! WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR T-MOBILE G2x !!!
You can ignore the warning about the G2x, the guy I asked to upload the app to his Market account needs to remove that warning
Thanks for the app...

Nice job dude
Works great with respect to its purpose. I had trouble with manually going into recovery. After opening it (no problem), if I let the keys go - it turned off - period.
I had to keep holding the power button and take one action with either power up or down button, and then I can let go. With this app - go straight to recovery.
Sorry - did not see an add to click on - maybe because I have ad blocker - lol.

this app only works if using the nvflash CWM.
If you only have CWM by flashing it through RM, this app will boot you into 3e recovery, where you can only go up and down, power will not select anything, thus having to battery pull.

@OP
I didn't get enough information as to why the firmware upgrade was failing. I was also going you could pull an xml fastboot for me from your existing setup if you are still rooted.
Please download this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranquilice.toolbox and make an xml backup of you're current phone. I also want the XML backup but it it's very large, so you should break it up into 100mb files using 7 zip and re-compress it. Then post it to your Dropbox. Don't worry this backup doesn't have any personal data.
Then you can download the update file from my Dev-host account here :
http://d-h.st/JNV
And save the file to your external sdcard.
Boot into recovery, then try to apply the update from sdcard, and write down exactly all the information it says (maybe take a picture of it using another camera). And send me all the information.
How to boot into recovery:
1) Power off phone completely
2) press and hold both volume buttons and at the same time press the power button.
3) use the volume down button to navigate the the recovery option, then press volume up.
4) an Android on the side will appear, now tot can proceed with updating
How to apply update in recoveyr mode:
1) press and hold both volume buttons while pressing power button
2) a menu will appear, use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option to update from external sdcard
3) find the update file and press the power button on it.
4) watch the update, if it fails please tell me all error messages, hopefully tot can take a picture for me.

Did you try to modify the update package? It looks like the update package doesn't have the same signature as it should.
Do not try to open up the ZIP file provided, just place it on the external SD card without touching it.

"FDR" -> Factory/Full Data Reset does not replace applications that have been deleted.
The only way to fix is to put them back or RSD/Flash back to stock.
I hate these threads.
People remove apps and wonder why the upgrade doesn't work.
Don't remove factory applications, freeze/disable them!!!!!
Removing them will remove the ability to upgrade until the OS is back to stock.
The installer checks to make sure that the system and application area is untouched.

On the I9505 Site there is a prerooted Odin flashable copy of the newest German version, odexed and soon a deodexed.
Maybe one of our developers will get this into a Zip flashable version.

I wouldn't do that.
If we do get this update anytime soon i would not flash it because it could have a patch for the boot loader hack.
**Move Apps to SD Card**
Thats enough reason for me to want some variant of this firmware update when and if its possible with a rooted and cwm recovery device such as mine... I hate not being able to move apps to the SD card when there is so little space. Ive thought of going with a custom rom but i use some of the TouchWiz stuff do I dont want to lose it.

Someone on another forum is reporting that you can only move APPS and not DATA, for example, GTA3 is only 15 megs for the app, but several gigs for data. Same goes with Google Music... songs saved is DATA and not APP.

i have a stock, rooted, TWRP recovery, odexed firmware and when i tried to do an OTA update it said that my device was modified
is there any way of getting this update even if i did have a "modified device"?

If you are still on the Stock ROM you can do this:
1. Unfreeze AT&T updater (if you have it frozen)
2. Use ODIN to return to stock WITHOUT performing a factory reset. AdamOutler has a thread with the stock firmware download in the Android Development section
3. Boot up and check for updates
4. After you have updated, root it again
All your apps and settings will remain, and you may have to re-sign-in to some, but you should be good to go.
Wait till its released as a flashable zip then done.

Not on an AT&T GS4. Locked bootloader = no non official Odin.
Sent from my SGH-I337
The English site reports this as one of the additions...
•Secure boot status in “About Phone”
I would definitely wait on this one until it has time to be tested and find out what this means exactly.

When it is available do you flash with ODIN or via custom recovery (TWRP).
I am rooted with STOCK everything at the moment. Could I just remove root, update OTA and then re-root?

you cannot get OTAs when a running a custom recovery, so if you decide to go back to stock rooted, you can hit this thread to set status to official
