[Mod][Jb/Kk]Theme chooser - using cm10/11 themes - Sony Xperia L

Do you love the stripped down or stock based roms but miss the theming ability of CM? Yea, there is the xTheme Engine, but with limited options (they have to be converted or built for xTheme) and so-so support for 4.4 at the moment, this isn't necessarily the best option. Enter: Cydia Substrate and Winterboard. If you are know about iOS and jailbreaking, likely these sound familiar. Install Substrate : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate then open, link files, then reboot. Then install Winterboard and your favorite CM10 theme(s), select in Winterboard : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.winterboard and reboot the SystemUI or reboot and enjoy! IF you are having issues getting Cydia Substrate to link, then make sure you open /system in a root file manager and grant it R/W access and try again. I also had luck with getting it to work after installing Xposed (they do work kind of similarly - and for some roms, I had to set R/W as well). Now, this allows you to run any CM10/11 theme, though CM10.x themes will not touch the battery icon, unfortunately. I got this to work on roms like Cataclysm and Mahdi and suspect it should work on about any rom as long as you have working root, /system as R/W and the linked files sticks. If you need more detail, lemme know and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction.

What is xposed installer?
It is a framework!
It allows you to install little apps by which you can mod your XL.
Read Advantages for more info.
Only you will be responsible if anything happens to your phone!
Advantages:
No need to modify any APKs. This means:
No need to decompile, change things in smali, compile, sign, ...​It will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs.​Your mod is not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Hell, it will probably even work with different ROMs.​Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they change the same package. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.​
It does its magic at runtime. That means you can implement options to let the user decide if they prefer the bikeshed to be painted in red or blue. Or you can have some extra logic for certain ROMs without building different mod versions.
It can be disabled easily without having to reflash.
It's open source.
Download:
You can download the installer from the attachment or from thread mentioned above
How to install:
First step for everything you do: Create a nandroid backup and make sure you know how to restore it!
There is also the risk to soft-brick your device. In such a case, restoring a backup is the easiest way to get rid of it
Download XposedInstaller.apk and install it
Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
In case you get into a boot loop:
You can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).
You could also create a file /data/xposed/disabled, which causes Xposed to be bypassed as well.
Modules:
You can find modules collection here-

Installation process-

Enable the module by checking the check-box
Reboot
Done!

Tiny Guide to Theme Note 8!

Hi,
I noticed that there ain't any themes for this tablet so here is an easy way to theme your tablet.
And of course you will need to be rooted to do this.
Also use common sense when messing around the modules. If you end up in boot loops from wrongly setting up the modules then there is always a Xposed disabler zip file in the root of our sdcard that you will have to flash in recovery to remove the bootloops.
1. First Install Xposed app.
2. Second Install xTheme Engine.
3. Here is a collection of xThemes i have collected and uploaded in one place to easier access them.
4. Fourth if you want to further mod you Tablet then try the modules here.
The Xposed Framework and xTheme Engine works on all roms. The themes will only do basic theming so do not expect to move mountains with it.
Happy Theming

Multiwindow or Floating window?

I have Calkulin's Rom installed and I like it very much. However, I'd like to have the ability to multi-window or floating window.
Is there any way this is possible?
Thanks!
Unless I'm missing something, I'd have thought that Xposed Installer with xhalofloatingwindow should work in most stock Android based configurations:
1. Make sure you have selected 'install from unknown sources' in security settings
2. Install the Xposed Installer from here - http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer.
3. Follow the instructions in Xposed, (ie install and reboot) then from within it install xhalofloatingwindow. I think another reboot is needed, then tinker with setting until it's the way you want it. I've been trying to combine it with Switchr to as a floatingwindow menu with limited success, though it's mostly cos Switchr keeps crashing.
Thanks that works like a charm!

[Q] Themes for Xperia Devices don't work

Hey there
I rooted my Z3 a few days ago and besides being very satisfied
with having the control for everything back in my hands
I have a problem:
I want to change the looks of the settings menu and the system UI itself
as I don't really like the one made by Sony (not flat enough for my likings).
I tried a few different themes (for root) from the Sony Cross Device Development Section
but they never changed anything of the UI, only a static wallpaper appeared a few times.
In the threads of the themes they state that you either need SuperUser Mod (which I got)
or some Xposed Module (didn't even find that).
So did anybody manage to theme the UI?
For device and firmware look at my signature

Superuser mod is not the superuser app.
You need the modified .jar.
The way to get it is to install xperia xposed via xposed framework and enable superuser mod in that module

Custom XT1254 21.44.12 Image - Root, BusyBox and Xposed

I have quickly put together a system image with an updated SU binary (still asks to update, this is likely due to WP) busybox binaries in xbin, and app_process xposed binary in bin. You still need to manually install busybox and xposed, but the binaries they put in the system directory are already there with appropriate permissions. When I get links up I will have more instructions on how to manually install xposed and busybox.
When time permits I will be removing about 30 unneeded bloat apps.
NOTE:
I am in no way an android developer. Simply because I can follow directions and open up an IMG in Linux does not qualify me to do amazing things like rebuild kernels, exploit root,bl, or wp. I am a java and c# programmer, which to my knowledge is useless at the hardware level. I have just barely started learning the wonderful language of C.
This image is simply my shared custom image. I don't mind reasonable requests, because I'm sure there are some cool apps I could throw in the system or other simple things like that. Please know I have a full time occupation, both at work and with my family and kids.
Confirmed working:
-GravityBox installed-
Modified Quicktiles
Modified Battery Icon to 1% circle mod
-Flying Android-
-LightingWall- (android firewall for all apps with internet access)
Feature Requests - I will try to get to these, but don't be angry if I don't.
Audio Boost
Adaway

Viper4Android
mixer_paths.xml
Please Read:
Before flashing, some quick modifications are necessary to get xposed working. When you actually install xposed, it mounts system as RW and puts app_process into the bin folder, overwriting the stock one. It then creates an xposed folder under /data, and puts XposedBridge.jar into this folder. The tricky part was the permissions. I found another post on XDA that explained how to manually install Xposed, and I simply baked in the system part by applying permissions in Linux. The permissions on the /data folder and XposedBridge.jar was easily set in ES File Explorer.
You NEED to do the /data folder and XposedBridge.jar part on your own. I will even be nice and provide my XposedBridge.jar file for you. (The jar and also apps_process are obtained by renaming xposed apk into xposed.zip and extracting them)
INSTRUCTIONS:
Install the xposed apk. Don't try to install the framework within the xposed app, it won't work.
Create a folder under /data called xposed. Using ES File Explorer, set permissions to this folder as
Owner - Read,Write,Execute
Group - Read, Execute
Other - Read, Execute
Then, make sure owner is root, and change group to shell.
Now, paste the XposedBridge.jar file into here. Set the permissions as
Owner - Read, Write
Group - Read, Execute
Other - Read, Execute
Then, make sure owner is root, and change group to shell.
At this point you should be able to open xposed and it will say it is installed. Profit.
When you reboot, it sticks!

Can you post your checksums for the app_process file
No offense, but you have no history here and I know people will download this without even thinking twice. I would highly recommend everyone checks the checksums for this by comparing them to app_process taken from the xposed apk
Sure thing, no offense taken. I downloaded xposed installer, renamed it to zip, and took it straight from there.
Here's the checksum:

Nice work! I was thinking about posting mine (basically the same setup) but now I don't have to. Thanks!
I'm pretty stoked to have a batt percent icon and better quick settings tiles. Its amazing how much one misses the little things.

Quick question. So if xposed has to be baked into the image, does that mean that the modules do not? Like could i flash this image and then install the Greenify module? Thanks
Could you fix tethering in this as well?
Thanks!

In my excitement to have gravitybox for my quick tiles I TOTALLY forgot about my battery percentage. This is only because I have been using BatteryDoctor which puts a percentage on left side..
Does this also have the audio boost and adaway? I'm looking for an IMG that includes all of them. But apparently no one has done that yet.

I messaged him, and I was gonna include into his image for myself... a hosts from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098 and I was gonna TRY and bake Viper4Android into it and see if it works. Gonna work on it today, hopefully everything works
He did Root, Busybox and Xposed for me which Xposed was over my head to do.
Is there a link somewhere to download it?

I'll look at these additions tonight, and also look at the adaway and audio patch. I'm not trying to compete with other people on here, not trying to get into who has the best image lol.
Here's the problem - MediaFire upload finished, but its not showing up in the file list.. May need to upload to a different hosting service. If I have to I'll just make a temporary webserver at home.. I'll get it up here today.
The mixer_paths.xml would be another good one to include, boost them audio levels!

I am So happy others are posting there work! Xposted modules on my IMG I have been testing was not working or holding some settings just too buggy So this is great. You can use any of my Patched files from my IMG and I can also send you direct the Patch files for hotspot if you need the stuff. Also Upload your IMG to "android file host" Just setup an account and he will respond and set it up for you nice and fast. If need you any of this stuff just PM me.
Thank you
I am in the same boat as you with kids and work always something going on.
