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!

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.

[TUT] How to customize original stock ROM (both performance and appearance)

I have installed and tested all the custom ROMs in this forum. Everything is unique in its own way.
I am from India ,and I found that my regional fonts(especially TAMIL) doesn't support with any of the custom ROM.
I tried copying fonts but doesn't work.

STEP 5: Increasing Performance

/root/system/media/ and /root/system/media/video/shutdown/ to their respective locations
5. Flash files from here for lock screen animation effects.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2331555
6. If you love any other effects in the custom ROM like PMP lite or ultra or L touch ROM(ROMs of s7562 ONLY), copy systemui.apk from /system/app and paste it in your root directory.
STEP 7: Installing a Launcher
1. I am using Nova launcher. It has some animation effects and also uses 20-36MB of RAM.
I suggest to restart the system on every steps. In case some kind of error occurred, just use recovery and skip that particular step or something.

Need of a device with bootloader unlocked and rooted
1) Install the apk of Root Explorer version 4.0.2 at this link
http://it.apkhere.com/app/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
2) Open Root Explorer, go in the system folder and open the build.prop file with the text editor; search the string called
# [ASUS BSP] Nancy - ZE552KL default disable touch navbar
persist.asus.enable_navbar = 0
qcom.hw.aac.encoder = true
and change the value from 0 to 1; then save appropriately the modified file.
4) Now you need to give the right permissions to the file; just keep pressing on the file, then up, about the options that will appear on the file, click on the three vertical dots and then Permissions. You have to set it up as follows
5) Reboot your phone and you should find the soft keys of ZenUI; Now if you want to disable them again it will be enough to re-edit the build.prop files and reset the value to 0.
If you want, in addition, also disable the physical home hardware keys follow these simple steps
1) Download here
http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/sS8EF2Cm/file.html
the Xposed framework compatible with Zenfone 3
2) Download here
http://www55.zippyshare.com/v/YWm75uNz/file.html...
the apk of Xposed app that is need that you install immediately
3) After that, flash the Xposed framework by TWRP recovery and restart the device
At reboot go into Downloads section of Xposed app and research the module named "Xposed Additions". Install it, activate it with the check mark in the Modules section and restart the Zenfone. On restart, launch this application and go in Buttons section; Here click on "Add new Key" and, when you see the screen popup, click on any of the three hardware keys and then confirm with ok. Now go into the rule that you have created (that will bring the name of the button that you have pressed) and click on "Add New Condition"; Click on "Screen On" and then, in subrule that appears, put the check mark on the options "Click" and "Long Press". Repeat the same thing for the state "Screen Off" and "Lock Screen" always clicking on "Add new condition". Now you must only repeat the whole procedure again for the other two hardware buttons on the home and you you will have disabled all of them!

The hardware keys will be disabled?

Nope, they're still working. Had to use Xposed Additions to disable them.

i have modified this guide with also the deactivation of hardware home buttons through the module xposed additions...thx to animaanimus

It's so beautiful.Good!!

I have a question if I have softkeys can I map the hard keys to be for eg skip song?
