[MOD] Different Background Image Sense 3.0 Lockscreen TAKING REQ's

As mohit1234 did not create a Thread for it and I thought that maybe a few others are interested in that.. also it's actually an addition to his MOD
Also Notice that there will be a Message when there is no weather Data availible, if that happens, which is once every while, just open your weather app and let it load,see below for fix, MANY Thanks to mohit1234 who found a fix for it
But before I start, YOU WILL NEED TO GIVE UP YOUR WEATHER LOCKSCREEN
I don't use the weather lockscreen so I modded it to fit my needs, (with lots of help of mohit1234)
Can't do it on your own?? don't get it how to decompile etc? just ask in the comments and I'll be happy to make them for you!
First you need to get your IdleScreen_Weather.apk, you can get using
Code:
adb pull /system/app/IdleScreen_Weather.apk IdleScreen_Weather.apk
(this is just one example.. )
After you have done that, open the apk using the M10 Editor, which is in the M10 Tools zip (attached to post)
Once open just drag your IdleScreen_Weather.apk into the M10 Editor and wait for it to unzip your apk
As soon as it finishes go to the "m10 files" tab and select the "Decode Images" Checkbox
Then double press the first item which is Lockscreen_weather.m10
{
"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"
}
Unfold until the Lockscreen_Weather and change the "Visible" Value on the right to 0
Then You will need to go back to the m10 tab, and decompile the second item, which is Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10 and unfold the Texture, while selecting the Texture right click on the Image and chose "Show in Explorer"
There you will find 3 Images..:
Replace all of those with the images you want, you can have three times the same or different Pictures for each part of the day
After you replaced the Image go back to the "Start" tab in the m10 Editor and hit Save, Insert the new IdleScreen_Weather.apk into the Blank_Update.zip (attached) under /system/app
BEFORE YOU FLASH, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!! or at least backup your original IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Flash it via CWM
No Weather FIX:
First pull Idlescreen_Base.apk using:
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Idlescreen_Base.apk
then open the m10 Editor again and load the apk using drag and drop, as soon is it has loaded switch to the "m10 files" tab again and choose the "Lockscreen_common_error.m10":
then unfold until "Lockscreen_common_error" and change "Visible" (on the right) from 1 to 0
ENJOY
And don't forget to thank me

Awesome tutorial!!
Great work!!
Btw, I've got how to remove the "no weather data available" error message:-
Decompile Idlescreen_Base.apk using m10 tools.
Decompile the Lockscreen_common_error.m10
In the last one (0x0dc10c5e), you will see Lockscreen_common_error
Change it from visible=1 to visible=0
Recompile and zipalign the apk and either push it or flash it.
Enjoy!!
You can add this to your tutorial if you want.

I'm sorry, but I'm not a dev

But If I knew where to start, I sure would try!

[MOD] Customizable MIUI Launcher

Hey there! I am going to share with u a MOD created by lithium76 where he has modified MIUI Launcher so the user now can edit the number of rows and colums in homescreen. It was impossible but now it much easier. I didn't test so u can test it and report
How to install
1) Download the appropriate APK and place it in the root of your SD card
2) Rename the file to Launcher2.apk
3) Using either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (with root privileges) copy the file to /system/app
4) Change the file permissions to -rw-r--r--
5) At this point your Launcher probably closed so press home to bring it back up. At this point it should be the new modified version. If not, just reboot your device.
6) Go to launcher settings and adjust the # of columns and rows you would like. hint: start out with small values and increase them as you see fit
7) Once you change the # of columns and rows press Reset Launcher to get the launcher to use the new settings.
8) Enjoy getting a little more room for your favorite apps and widgets.

[HOWTO] RainbowMods Theme Tutorial

INTRO:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Finally! The long wait has come to an end! Here is the RainbowMods theme tutorial!
Now this Tutorial is for a very basic type of theme. By basic I mean that what you can theme are the back button, home, recentapps, menu, search, and battery, and wifi icons, and also the button press color.
In the following days i will be making a tutorial on advanced themes. Where you will be able to change clock color, expanded settings bar items, such as: sound and brightness icons and bar color and as well and settings icon, and everything else in the notifications bar
REQUIREMENTS:
ZipThemer
ICS or JellyBean Rom .zip
Root Explorer or similar
Icons that you want to use
And a little Patience
INSTRUCTIONS:
YOU CAN DO ALL THIS ON YOUR KINDLE! NO NEED TO USE YOUR COMPUTER.
1.Download my custom_statusbar.zip file and extract it to a spot on your sdcard.
2.Go to the extracted. then CustomStatusBar/systemUI/res.
3.This is where all the drawable (images) are located. The ones we are editing in this tut. are located in drawable-sw600dp-mdpi.
4.Now go to system appsand extract your systemUI apk. go to that extracted. and go to res/drawable-sw600dp-mdpi. This i just so you know what your editing.
5. Download and extract atticus182's softkeys (or you can use any of your own!) and find one you want to use. Rename it and get rid of the (#) after it. and copy and past the image in the customstatusbar's drawable-sw600-mdpi fold. Say if you are using one that says ic_sybar_back (24) you would get rid of (24) and copy the image TWICE! rename one of them to ic_sybar_back_land
the land part is for landscape mode. so do this same thing for any icons you would like to change. just remember to rename them EXACTLY how they are in your original systemUI.apk. This is the same for any battery or wifi mod too.
6. after you are done with the pictures you are swapping out., zip the ENTIRE CustomStatusBar folder.
7. Go to zipthemer. If you have used zipthemer before with your rom then SKIP this Step. GO to zipthemer. Press the menu button and then hit update edify. HIt browse and find the rom that you are currently using. MIne would be jandycane_otter-v1.5.1_0xD34D.zip.and press configure. It will say success.
8. In zip themer press +Theme. Then find the zipped customstatusbar file. and click build it! is will ask you about making a undo file and click always.
When its finished it will show a buildl log.
9. Reboot into recovery. TWRP or CWM. when in recovery hit install. and find the customstatusbar.zip. Flash it. and wipe delvikcache. reboot and tada!!
10. go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413582 and thank atticus182 for letting me use his sofkey icons!
THANKS:
atticus182 for his icons
stericson for getting me into theming!
and be sure to thank me!

Enabling Gingerbread ScreenOff Animation

The CRT style screen off / lock animation that comes with Gingerbread is disabled by default. This tutorial (partially copied and edited) will help you to Enable this.
First, you should root your device.
[SCH-i509] Gingerbread ScreenOff Animation
What you need:
- Root Explorer
- APK Manager from APK Multi-Toolkits | APK Multi-Tool
- Notepad
- 7Zip
1. Using Root Explorer, take the framework-res.apk (you can copy it from system/framework to /sdcard, and load it to your pc)
{
"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. Copy from /sdcard to your PC. Paste it at "place-apk-here-for-modding" at the APK Manager folder.
3. For the first time you run APK Manager, please run setup.bat, and then choose option number 3. Please wait untill the progress done. Run Script.bat from the APK Manager folder. Press any key, choose 9 (decompile) and wait.
4. When it finishes go to \APK_Manager\projects\framework-res.apk\res\values.
5. Open up the file called bools.xml in Notepad (Right click and open with Notepad)
Look for a line that says "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>"
Change true in that line to false so it should read
"<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Go back to the apkmanager script.bat. Open it, or if you still have it open you want to type 11 (Compile the apk) and then press "y"
When you see the picture like below, dont press any key too fast.
Theres a new folder in the apk manager directory called 'keep'. Before you hit enter to finish the process... go to that 'keep' folder and find a file called resource.arsc. Delete that file.
Go back to the apk manager and hit enter. It will start copying a bunch of files and it will be done. Close the script.bat window when it finishes.
7. Navigate to that folder that you put your framework-res.apk in initially and you'll see a new unsigned .apk. Open it in 7-zip and pull out the resource.arsc file inside of it (drag and drop it like on your desktop...do not unarchive/unzip). Using 7-zip open your framework-res.apk that you initially used for this mod (from your flashable .zip) and delete the old resource.arsc file thats in it...and drag and drop your new one in.
Code:

8. Copy your new framework-res.apk to /sdcard. And then move it to /system. Do not copy the file to \system\framework at this point or you will cause the system to bootloop. Change the file permissions to rw-r--r--. Graphically it would look something like this:
9. Move framework-res.apk from \system to \system\framework, letting it overwrite the original. Completely power down your device, then power it back.
10. Last, using Root Explorer, goto /system/build.prop. Find "debug.composition.type=mdp" and change "debug.composition.type=gpu"
11. Restart your phone, and see the different
Tested at my SCH-i509. Do it with your own risk and good luck

Thank you for the very detailed guide. I managed to do everything without ending up with any bootloops or problems but the animation remains the same old one, even after enabling all animations at the end in my display settings. It actually removed my previous animation which was a quick fade out, now when I press the lock button it's like it quickly shuts off, doesn't really bother me but I really wanted to have CRT animation.
Got any suggestions on what else to try? I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.6

Lollipop for samsung galaxy core 2 duos

Hi guys
Came back to xda after long times
Sorry to all my fans
If you like my work do please hit thanks
Now it is a very bad truth that core 2 will never ever get a lollipop official upgrade as its hardware is not going to support lollipop.
So i thought to provide my fans a bit long but trusted way to get a lollipop look,feel,performance on their lazy kitkat devices.
Lets get start
I SUPPOSE THAT YOU HAVE A ROOTED DEVICE. if not then check out my previous guides.
YOUR DROID HAVE ATLEAST 80 % BATTERY.
AND YOU HAVE NO BRAIN
with all this things you arevready to go.
Folllow me boys step by step
1 - UPGRADING LOLLIPOP LAUNCHER
for this we are going to use NOVA LAUNCHER. You can use any lollipop styled launcher for yourself.
Firstly go to es file explorer and onnnnnn the root explorer option.
Then copy the nova launcher apk and past it to /system/priv-app.
After pasting long press it and on right bottom click three dot symbol.head on to permissions and just diasble all exicutable and Botton two write permissions like thisView attachment 3431496
After doing that just delete the default launcher apk and odex file from same folder.
Reboot device and you get the lollipop launcher.
2 - UPGRADING LOLLIPOP KEYBOARD
for this we are going to use latinimegoogle keyboard.
Firstly go to es file explorer and onnnnnn the root explorer option.
Then copy the apk and past it to /system/app.
After pasting long press it and on right bottom click three dot symbol.head on to permissions and just diasble all exicutable and Botton two write permissions like thisView attachment 3431496
Then copy the lib and past it to /system/lib.
After pasting long press it and on right bottom click three dot symbol.head on to permissions and just diasble all exicutable and Botton two write permissions like
thisView attachment 3431496
After doing that just delete the default samsung keyboard apk and odex file from same folder.
Reboot. After rebooting go to settings of keyboard as usually and go to advance section there you will find that material theme option.choose material theme for lollipop look.
Apk and lib files are on this link
Apk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByZiuaK2U388UTQ0dkJlc2RaZ2c/view?usp=docslist_api
Lib https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByZiuaK2U388ZGZVMFFrVk03RFU/view?usp=docslist_api
3 - UPGRADING LOLLIPOP LOCKSCREEN
just follow all instructions which you used for launcher.but you do nat have any specific apk for lockscreen in samsung devicea so you do not need to delete any apk.
Download any lockscreen from market of your choice.
Make shure you have changed file permissions.
4 - UPGRADING LOLLIPOP NOTIFICATIONS
all love heads up notification.
For that you need to download two akp
Xposed installer and its module " heads up notifier" both are in apk form so for both files follow the same instructions as launcher but again you do naot have to delete any apk at last.
Remember the correct permissions.
After rebooting just open xposed framwork and click on modules and enable the notifier module.come back to main menu and click framework and click on install and it will ask for rebooting.after reboot younwill have heads up notifications enabled.
5 - UPGRADING CORE 2 DISPLAY
now a bit different thing.
Open es file explorer and navigate to /system/build.prop.
Open this file.
Tap on the pencil on right top.
Now you will see a line ending with 4.4.2 just change it to 5.2.0
There are two lines saying ro.sf.lcd_density 240 change the value to 200 in both the lines
There are lines like
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=68m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=94m
Change them to
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=10m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=68m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m
Done save changes and reboot
Your device now is mostly like lollipop and you have a 20% boosted performance device which eats less battery when in power saving mode.
6 - UPGRADING LOLLIPOP STATUS BAR ICONS
You can download xstana module of xposed installer.install it on your device and tap on notification in status bar after rebooting open the app and choose which style you want.
Follow the same launcher guide above but you dont have to delete any app.
NOW FOR IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A NAVIGATION BAR IN YOUE DEVICE YOU HAVE TO EDIT YOUR BUILD.PROP AND ADD A LINE AT ITS END
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0
After saving fild just reboot and you will get mavigation r right at botton.
