[Completed] Replace Skinned Apps Lollipop 5.1 - XDA Assist

So I've found that BLU has not actually skinned the apps like downloads, contacts things like that, they have just replaced it with their own version in system/priv-app. So, would it be possible to just replace those apps as well as SystemUI.apk and or Framework-res to remove the manufacturer skin? For example theres a folder called AmigoSystemUI with their skin on it. Thanks

Hello,
Nope, it is highly recommended to not do it.
The framework is a core part of the system and is related as well as dependant on various stuffs in the system.

[Q] Flip Fonts help - howto make legit flip fonts

I have been looking to make available some of my fonts (http://code.newtypography.co.uk) as flip fonts, or similar 'easy to install' package for non rooted phones.
Current threads are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/tags.php?tag=flipfonts
but doesn't seem to be a perfect solution yet. Particularly looking at succesfully signing fonts, so users can install with no hacks.
Anyone any info / help / clues on this?
cheers

Android themes

Dear Fellows,
I'm new to CM and its just my second post, I'm kinda interested in making/modifying themes on android phones. I have some queries regarding this..
1. do i need to create a new project from scratch and build my own apk or
2. do i just decompress other's theme apk and change it way i like (is that legal or acc to rule of android, CM forums etc )
3. Can i sale themes on play store using second method ( i know they worked but if its possible, i wont do if its not or illigal)
thanx for your reply in advance
1. There are plenty guides on the Android Theme section. I have written up a updated guide to create themes from scratch with extra info on how to theme your interface. There are some that show you how to theme using pre-made apks
2. Yes you can as long it is not a paid theme. A free one then its fine, you just have to ask the original themer for permission. So they know you're using his/hers theme as a base.
3. Yes you can if you have permission

Hi, I don't understand what do you want to do, but if you want to remove ads on android you can use apps like adaway or adblock (you need to be rooted) or you need to modify your hosts file like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098.
Thanks for help but I want to remove the ads from app I made with andromo app maker not just block the adds on my phone itself with another app.
I did find an ads folder in (smali/com/Google/android) folder but after recompiling it reappears.

UI Frameowrk for Xiaomi
Hi,
Could someone explain if systemUI.apk from Xiaomi can be used to respond to user's touch events, offering windows support, user interface mangement, etc. In other words, I would like to understand whether systemUI.apk can be used just as UIKit Framework offered to developers for iOS or UI framework in Android?
Since the systemUI and frameworkUi are .apk files, are these related to specific Xiaomi applications or they contain APIs for development of Xiaomi apps?
Thanks in advance!

John

[Completed] The not-so-much-talked-about rom: Miui (themes, reverts back to default theme)

Hola guys. To all of you. Particularly the ones who are familiar with MIUI. I will just stick to the point. If you ARE familiar with miui then you must have come across those flashy themes. You must also have found out the way to bypass the infamous theme policy WSM tools and Xposed and all. But I recently started taking interest in those flashy themes. You know that once you download a theme from the default Themes app the mtz file starts getting downloaded and as soon as the downloading has finished it gets unpacked into bits (com.android.contacts, com.miui.home, icons, lock_wallpaper, locksreen and so on) and gets copied to the MIUI folder in main storage and again into data/system/theme. This is the first problem. I can't copy the whole mtz file to a safe place because it gets unpacked as soon as it has been downloaded which is basically a zip file containing several other zip files that is, the 'bits' I was talking about. Second thing. the default themes app does not recognize mtz files downloaded from the official miui themes website. It declares them as third party themes. What I did was, took some of those 'bits' and replaced some XML files inside them and some png elements and put them back into data/system/theme. But miui has a way to prevent this from happening. As soon as it detects a modified file present in data/system/theme it reverts back to the default plain theme by deleting all files from data/system/theme. My guess is it keeps checking out verifying in regular intervals the checksums that it must have generated earlier. The same thing happens if I just replace a bit in the mentioned directory with a bit from another theme. So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to preserve the mtz file downloaded from within the default Themes app as a whole mtz file?
2. Can I make changes to just the Themes app so that it would apply any mtz file?
3. Is there a way to prevent miui from continuously checking or verifying the checksums that it has generated? (just a guess but I reckon thats what it actually does) because for an hour or so after replacing or modifying the 'bits' everything works fine but the reverting process takes place in an hour or so.
Thats all folks! jk. Any help or suggestion would be really appreciated because I think a thread like this was long since needed here. And dont talk about visiting MIUI's official forums. Most of the guys there don't know half the things that is really worth discussing. Thank you guys.
note- dont want to use WSM tools nor can I find one for miui7.
note2- if I change the permissions of the folder (data/system/theme) to 444 allowing READ permissions only, the phone would just reboot without warning and continue to reboot until the permissions are changed back to normal (755).
No one?

I am starting to feel MIUI is really not so popular here on XDA. Blimey after about a hundred views not a single reply, let alone helpful ones. Anyway I will leave the thread as it is just in case somebody who had the same problem and found a workaround, sees the post.
XDA Assist is for newbies, who need help finding their way oround on XDA. XDA Assist is only for pointing users into the correct section. Not a discussion forum.
Thread closed. Please post in the Q&A section I linked. Normal users are not even able to post in your thread.
