Hi xda users,
I want to share a batch script tool to replace your statusbar without
going to recovery or restarting your phone.
What does this do?
A: This will replace your statusbar in 5 secs. after you run replacer script, with your modded
SystemUI.apk in folder.
Extract folder inside rar archive
Place your SystemUI.apk
in the folder then connect phone to usb
then double click statusbar_replacer
Tested on Sense 4, please report if it works
on other roms to.
Usefull for
for themeing your statusbar icons, battery or
modding it with apktool if it runs or not.
How it works
1.adb mounts to sysrw
2.pushes new systemui
3.closes old systemui in memory
4.restarts new systemui(statusbar)
Requirements
Phone USB Drivers
USB Debugging on
Windows PC
Dont forget the thanks button.

Tried on my Motorola Razr i - didn't work. However after poking in the skies came to the following:
adb shell syswr - doesn't work you have to change permission manually, maybe it was an issue with Busybox
the rest looked for me as following:
adb shell
pkill -TERM -f com.android.systemui ()
exit
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb shell
pkill -TERM -f com.android.systemui - don't ask why but tests revealed the second termination is a must =))
am startservice -n com.android.systemui/.SystemUIService
su
reboot recovery
+ change Permissions

[SCRIPT] Services.jar De/Compiler/Signer

This is a script I created for personal use which will work on a Mac using the Terminal.
Services.jar is responsible for theming your phone, for example how the battery status and notification bar works, and general things such as those.
This script allows you to easily:
1. Create a working directory with all required files included.
2. Allow you to drag and drop the services.jar file you want to modify into the terminal for ease of use.
3. Automatically decompile services.jar into your working directory
4. Open your working directory from the Terminal to allow you to make modifications/changes.
5. Automatically re-compile services.jar after edits have been made.
6. Option to sign services.jar so that it is flash ready for your Desire.
Setting up is no problem,
1. Download the attachment and extract it to your desktop.
2. Open up terminal and cd (change directory) to the folder, eg: cd ~/desktop/services-jar
3. Then simply type: ./menu
This will display the easy-to-use menu for navigation around the script shown below

NOTE: only for mac users.
CURRENTLY WORKING ON:
1. Automatic ripping of services.jar from a signed ROM. COMPLETE
2. De-compiling, editing, re-compiling and automatic signing of .apk files.
All requests are welcome
great hope we get an update for linux users soon.

Action Launcher 3 supports swipe for Google Now integration (root users only)

I posted this over in the OnePlus 3 forum but was told this should be posted over here since it is not device speciric...
....
Action Launcher 3 now supports swiping right to access the Google Now page. I've gone ahead and gone through the process of enabling it on my OP3 and so far it's been flawless. Very happy to finally have this feature back.
To enable this feature you have to install Action Launcher 3 as a system app. To do this, you must do the following:
1) Download the Action Launcher APK from here: APK Mirror Link
2) Push the APK to your device by using ADB commands to type the following adb push action3.apk /sdcard/
3) Move the APK to system partition by typing the following...
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /sdcard/action3.apk /system/priv-app
chmod 644 /system/priv-app/action3.apk
mount -o ro,remount /system
exit
exit
4) Reboot (ADB reboot)
5) Once you reboot, Action Launcher 3 will be installed as a system app. Let the app update to 3.8.1 from the playstore.
6) Once Action Launcher is updated enable Google Now integration by going to Action Launcher Settings > Desktop> Google Now Integration (Alpha)
It should now be enabled. Swiping right on the home screen slides the Google Now page into frame, just like with the stock Google launcher.

such as changing the state of SELinux on xperia devices

chmod 0644 /sys/fs/selinux/disable
setenforce 0
setprop ro.boot.selinux disable
echo 0 > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce
echo 0 > /sys/fs/selinux/disable
exit 0;
6.- 88SELinux file take permission octal 0755 can use root explorer and enter the number 0755 attached screenshot
7.- restart the terminal and the status of SELinux should appear as in the screenshot
8.- finally if you do not change the status of SELinux it is because their init.d support is not working
