[GUIDE] How to remove unnecessary icons from MIUI home screens (VirusScan, etc.) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi there!
Like a lot of you guys, I'm using MIUI on my Nexus S. Since I've seen so many people in the relevant forums trying to remove the Virus Scan icon form the homescreen, I decided to make a short tutorial on how to do it and how to remove other app icons.
Warning: If you want to use the apps listed below, DO NOT follow the tutorial, since the apps won't work anymore.
Warning #2: Do everything on your own risk. I'm not responsible for any data losses, damages, or bricked devices.
First of all, you're going to need ROM Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup (or anything similar) then follow the instructions below:
Removing the VirusScan icon:
1. Open ROM Toolbox Pro and run the App Manager, then click on All apps at the top of the screen.
{
"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"
}
2. Long press on Settings and select Advanced freeze.
3. Go to the bottom of the list appeared then untick the followings:
Settings (.VirusScanActivity)
Settings (.VirusScanAppActivity)
Settings (.VirusScanService)
Removing the app startup icon:
The first step is the same as above.
2. Long press on Permission Manager and select Advanced Freeze.
3. Look for the following and untick it:
com.lbe.security.ui.AutoStartAppList
Restart your phone after finishing.
If you want to use the freezed apps again, just tick them and restart your phone.
With this method you will be able to remove the unused icons of Google Maps as well (of course those function won't work and Google Maps will FC if trying to use them - all the other functions will work though).

[How-To] Record your Galaxy R Screen(From a PC) (Tested on CM10.1)

Record your Tegra2 screen from a PC. ​
Proof: Watch
Warning:
1: I've only tried this on CM10.1. I'm not sure about other ROM's or stock ROM's. You test and tell me. I'll include it under "tested configs".
2: This includes installing an app on your PC and its client app on your device.
3. This is not perfect. The recording is laggy, but you can record. Isn't that enough?
4. You'll need a pc with screen recorder like camtasia recorder.
How-To:
1. First go grab this software. MyPhoneExplorer.. This is a must have. Apart from screen recording it offers multiple other tools.
2. Install it on your PC.
3. On your phone enable "USB debugging" and connect the phone to the PC.
4. Open up the app on your PC.

5. Then goto extras on the menu bar and select "Control Phone/Load Screen shot"
6. That's it your beautiful tegra2 device will load up on the screen. You can do whatever you like on the phone like navigating the homescreens, playing a game, listening to music etc. All that gets replicated on the PC screen.
7. The last step is using a good PC screen recorder to record the screen area currently occupied by the "Control Phone" window of the MyPhoneExlorer app.
8. Enjoy! and you can also post some of your screen recordings here. I'm adding the first one below for you to see.

Inorder to remove the blotwares you need to download an app from the playstore. Once downloaded it,install the app.
Download the app from here

Follow the same steps if you have to remove multiple items..
After removing the apps restart your device.

You can also try Titanium Backup for this purpose. But in my opinion System app remover is more user friendly

[GUIDE][ROOT] Enable new(-ish) YouTube UI by force

Love it or hate it, YouTube has a new UI that's rolling out
It's not a server switch as most people think - the switch is local. If you don't like the UI, usually uninstalling and reinstalling will revert it, not always though.
Anyway, if you want it to be enabled by force, here's how to do that:
Option 1: Using a GUI preferences editor such as Preferences Manager
1.) Download and open Preferences Manager
2.) Select YouTube from the list. You may need to enable "Show system apps" from the overflow menu first
3.) Select "com.google.android.libraries.innertube.pref.inner_tube_config" from the list
4.) Enter the following value, replacing the current one:
