Animated Weather for Android
For Rooted Android Phones
I take no credit for the development of this app, it was developed by Samsung (I just added a couple of tweaks). I also take no responsibility for any damages caused by this app to your device.
That said, it’s an awesome animated weather wallpaper. Kind of reminds me of the old HTC HD2 animated weather. You can apply it to the lockscreen as well.
1. For MIUI roms install AccuweatherDaemon.apk first. Allow autostart and activate trusted app. Should this not work. Copy the AccuweatherDaemon.apk to the root directory System/app file using Root Explorer or any other root file manager. Tap and hold AccuweatherDaemon.apk then select Permissions; set the permissions the same as your other apps in the same directory.
2. Now install WeatherWall.apk file. If the installation does not work, copy the WeatherWall.apk to the root directory System/app file using Root Explorer or any other root file manager and set the permissions the same as your other apps in the same directory.
Now restart your phone
3. After the restart is complete, tap the menu button. Go to Set Wallpaper followed by Live Wallpaper.
4. Tap on Windy weather, select settings and then tap on Auto Refresh. Select None. (This will insure your wallpaper updates every time you activate your internet.
5. Now go back and tap on Set Wallpaper.
Initially I made this for my Galaxy S3 running MIUI ICS Rom.
I then installed it on my Galaxy Note 2 and Tablet 2 running on a rooted stock 4.1.2 rom and it works without any issues.

Well, my carrier (Telcel) add by deafult in touchwiz icons replacing the SAMSUNG ones, to revert this follow the next steps:
1. BE ROOT
2. INSTALL A ROOT EXPLORER
3. GO TO /System/csc/appresource/
4. RENAME "CSCAppResource.xml" FILE, NO MATTER THE NAME (ie. "123.xml")
5. EXIT ROOT EXPLORER AND THATS ALL, NOW YOU ICONS ARE THE ORIGINAL FROM SAMSUNG.
This is NEEDED if you want to theme all with unicon(icon themer) from xpossed framework
Root privileges give you the power to break you device use at your own risk.
Just wondered if any one else discovered this yet?
I upgraded to KitKat (thanks Polish_Pat) Knox 0x0 rooted and recovery
Was annoyed that we didn't get any of the KitKat goodies so have started to get it sorted they way I would like it. Love android!!
First up (and easy)
KitKat Google Now Launcher and its two dependent files
(Ok Google works for me as well as swiping left for Google Now ).
-------------------
Down load this zip
Once you have it to your phone use a file browser with ROOT privlages ( I use pro version of Root explorer) navigate to where ever you saved the file and un zip it. Root Explorer does this and will ask if you wish to navigate to the unzipped folder, do so now.
1) Install GoogleHome.apk (if you haven't already you will be prompted to allow the install of UNKNOWN sources)
2) Copy PrebuiltGmsCore.apk to SYSTEM/APP/ changed permission to rw-r-r-
3) Copy Velvet.apk to SYSTEM/APP/ changed permission to rw-r-r-
4) Reboot
again root explore will do all of this. With a long press on the file it will give you options to choose from. Select permissions and uncheck or check what ever you wish to set any permission. For this particular task you will want to UNCHECK group write and others write this will set you as rw-r-r
click OK.
Do this for both files listed above and then reboot.
-------------------
In my continued effort to get as close to AOSP KK I have also managed to replace Sammies Clock app with the AOSP Clock which is smoother (in my onpinion only).
If you want it
Down load this zip file
Extract as described earlier and install it as any other app. Then you can disable the stock app by doing a rename these two files (Root users only can achieve this stock will have two clock apps)
ClockPackage_OSup.apk to ClockPackage_OSup.apk.old
ClockPackage_OSup.odex to ClockPackage_OSup.odex
--------------------
Now I want to try getting the KitKat Dialer to work but I suspect that won't be so easy.

xposed GEL didnt do it for me for some reason, will test your method soon
Just installed the GoogleHome apk on a non rooted 4.4.2 Note 3 running stock firmware and everything works without any other modification. (Including Ok google).
REALLY IMPORTANT: THIS THREAD IS NOT GOING TO BE UPDATED ANYMORE. SEE MY "COMPLETE S5 MOD GUIDE" THREAD, IN THIS SECTION OF THE DEVICE'S FORUM.
After the big hit with the S Note app, I'd like to share the FULLY WORKING S5 Settings and Email apps!
The steps need a rooted phone.
S5 Settings -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4bFPA3V4_OobXdDck9abVFRZ0E/preview
Copy to /system/priv-app, making a backup of the original.Make sure that the file is correctly copied (the copy is not corrupt), then reboot the phone.
You'look get either one or two Settings icons. If you got two, then one of them is the S5 Settings app.
If you got none, then repeat the steps.
S5 AccuWeather:

Have made & edit system files to get the touchwiz style theme icons to fit our oppo f1 color os launcher and resolution of the screen, they require editing files in the system so root is required.
For just icons:
1. Using root file manager, navigate to /system/media/themes/default/
2. Back up the original ICONS file to external or wherever
3. Copy the attached ICONS file and set root permissions
4. Restart
MAKE SURE IN THEME MANAGER YOUR USING THE DEFAULT THEME

For expiremtal system theming
1. In the same folder copy & replace files in the attachment, do not delete or change com.oppo.launcher file, set permissions
2. Back up original files incase you dont like it

Since I switched to S8 found that we cannot set custom multi wallpaper on lock screen. I have found a way to set and works perfectly.
ROOT is must for this to work.
>Download any free multiwallpaper from samsung themes and don't apply.
>Now go to data/overlays/homewallpaper/XXX using Root explorer.
Note: XXX is the theme name which you downloaded.
>Now paste the your wallpapers inside the XXX folder and rename them to (wallpaper_*) and remove file extension.
Note: * is the serial no. like 1, 2, 3...
>Set permissions of wallpapers to 0745.
>Now apply the wallpaper from themes app.
Enjoy!
