CyanogenMOD Glass-Cyan Theme v1 download here:
Just want to share some modded apps and framework, all stock only a bit more flat.
Apps are for stock based 4.1.2 roms, results are similar to latest Touchwiz versions.
Apps may FC at first start, that's why they need to be restarted once modded, then they will launch as usual.

Mod will apply on default actionbar background in apps that use it (Settings, My Files, Messaging, Xposed, etc..) and system dialogs.

Anyone is free to share better mirrors, I'll add them to OP.
Upon overwriting the framework-res.apk with the new one, I softbricked my S3.
Required a recovery restore and system format. Where did I go wrong?

Since you're overwriting a N7000 framework on a i9300 I'm not surprised about that.
"CAUTION: Do a nandroid backup" is written in big red letters in the op so i guess is reading what you did wrong.

Thanks Buddy.
Nice and Simple.
I created FlymeUI statusbar model in CM12 beta 5 (bauner custom rom) and resize height of navigation bar (more small),
File:
SystemUI:
goo.gl/p64oEo
Framework:
goo.gl/zutUfx
Guide:
1. Open folder /system/priv-app/ SystemUI, rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk~
2. Open folder /system/priv-app/ SystemUI/arm, rename SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex~
3. Paste SystemUI.apk in folder /system/priv-app/ SystemUI which already download and set permission as default
Be carefull in step 4 since make your note bootloop (if wrong step)
4. Paste framework-res.apk in folder /system/framework and replace which new one (set permission in outside forlder of /system/framework to prevent bootloop since after paste will automatically reboot).
File permission:
v v -
v - -
v - -
Note:
Backup your rom before execute this mod.
I'm not create flashzip file but doing by manually .
This mod can't use in another version.

Layers Manager found to be not working on SOKP 5.1.1 R10 rom for Yu Yuphoria (Lettuce). Can't update, shows Error (-505) when updated. There is an easy fix:
First download the files:
1. Layers Manager (v4.3.2)
2. ES File Explorer (Or any other file manager which supports Root access; mounting R/W).
Procedure:
1. Put the file "com.lovejoy777.rroandlayersmanager-12.apk" anywhere on SD.
2. Get root access to mount R/W through file manager.
2a. Slide the toolbar from the left, go to “Tools” section and tap “Root Explorer.”
2b. Select “Mount R/W” to mount your system files as R/W.
3. Go to /system/app/LayersManager
4. Delete the apk file in it (it is the old version installed)
5. Replace it with the new version file downloaded from the above.
6. Reboot device.
7. Now install the same apk file copied in the SD.
8. Done, now you have a working layers manager.
There can be a much easier fix if someone could build a flashable file. I am an amateur at building flashable files. If anybody can, please make a flashable file for the updated Layers Manager.
Themes Tested and Working:
Blackish Layers Theme
Milos - Layers Theme
Please test the fix and if working please post more working themes on Yuphoria.
Thank You
