Hello, fellow Neatizen! I'm back, this time with a shorter straight-forward post, hopefully.

First of all, it's so amazing I spent almost 2 years flashing my I9100 endlessly and couldn't settle down with a ROM of my choice until I found NeatROM JB. I'm 100% satisfied I was thinking of giving back to the community. I'm pretty much aware the answer to my question will be "use the search function" but I'll be more than happy if someone could give me direct answers within this thread.

I'm totally newbie and I don't simply mess up with system files but I was thinking of doing a simple MOD, or working theme for NeatROM (like changing some of the stock icons and include custom wallpapers). I'm quite familiar working in a Linux environment as I have a VPS running CentOS 6.5 but I can say that I'm totally new in Android development. I did try making some research about cooking my own ROM but I gave up half way through because it was so complicated for someone like me. It was harder than learning PHP/MySQL. I found this rather amusing as some of my real life friends told me making an Android App was so easy, I myself don't even know where to start? They are now richer than me for selling their apps (+ ads revenue), but I'm on the open source zone, so I'd like to share my hard work in return of this awesome ROM.

So, for a starter, where and what is the first step to do to understand about modding and theming for this ROM? I can say that I'm pretty good in AI and PS, I can design some cool icons/interface, heck I was also thinking of re-designing NeatROM's logo (not that this logo isn't great, I was thinking that it could be better).

Secondly, I'm proudly want to non-neatizen and confirm that NeatROM JB has the best battery life ever. I still remember during my old days using RootBox with so many customizations, I ended up recharging my battery every 3-4 hours I even bought a spare battery. With NeatROM, that wasn't the case, I hardly charge my battery it can last up to 4-5 days on my average daily usage (no heavy gaming tho). Now, how cool is that? I also see few familiar faces in this thread answering questions and give back to the community, many thanks to all of you.

I hope this is a starting point for me to be able to make some contributions to Android world especially for NeatROM folks. You guys seem cool and you rock!

p/s: I'm not an English native speaker so, kindly ignore my grammar.

Bye for now...

There are two options in Google sync settings: "Sync Google Photos" and "Sync Picasa Web albums".

UNTICK both.

There is the "Picasa Tool" app (= Picasa app itself) and "Picasa Uploader".

You can find it in Settings > Application manager > ALL then scroll down a little bit.

If you click on Picasa Uploader, you can "Disable" it.

(Alternatively you can greenify Picasa.)

Additionally you should check the settings in Picasa app itself: Settings > Offline Album Sync Interval and set it to "Never".

After changing the settings, you should wipe Cache and Dalvik in recovery and reboot.

I'd go for the one on which MS3 NeatROM v5.9 is based ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] simsunas:
I appreciate your help, but I've never had Picasa installed. When installing ROM I even chose not to install Google+. So I can't do anything of what you said :( I looked at installed programs in Titanium and still no luck...

But I think I can try with Cache and Dalvik wipe.

EDIT:

After Cache and Dalvik wipe process disappeared. Thanks @lt_ler !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] prats:
Can anyone please provide Me the link to 'supersu by chainfire' thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Android Development] MrPierc:
Thanks for hints!

My solution:

1) Download (Spain) I9100XWMS3_I9100XXMS4_I9100FOPLS6_HOME.tar.md5 from web sammobile

2) Download Odin v3.07 and flash ...I9100FOPLS6_HOME.tar.md5

3) Restart Phone and install on Stock Rom app TitaniumBackup = root was NOT, so i must rooted Phone again

4) Flash via CWM PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS2-MOT-5.15.9-signed.zip and restart = root OK

5) Phone Rooted and i flash NeatROM 5.9 and BootLoop is gone!

Thanks all for help, tips, hints :good:

If you are sure it is not the lens, then it must be the software. I assume using a different camera app doesn't solve the problem?

Maybe you could try changing/updating the camera firmware itself.

As mentioned in my previous post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51535818&postcount=84836

here is the stock (unthemed) version of toggles buttons' color picker mod for Neatrom 5.9. It took me some time as I had to fix small problem related to 23 lidroid togles' layout which became a little distorted (don't know why :)) after implementing the color picker. Now everything should be OK.

The mod (like before) allows to change color of 23 toggles / stock toggles and additionally color of toggles' background. It will also restart automaticaly SystemUI as soon as a new color is applied.

Moreover, it contains my previous mod - "Traffic meter location".

Color picker for SB toggles buttons & background for Neatrom 5.9 (5 toggles version):

- Always make nandroid backup before flashing anything

- It is made for 5toggles version of Neatrom 5.9 (it will not work for s4 stock toggles version)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] shahkbrmn:
Hello guys....i wanna ask .....how can i increase my system rom
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cglegion:
I just bought Root Explorer and playing around with it. Since I'm a newbie, it's very interesting I finally found out how to delete stock app from the system but I'm not sure if I did it properly. Coming from the extra lite version, I've also deleted a few clock analog and dual clock widgets, google music, musicfx, and many more useless stock app. I'm planning to remove the inkeffect also since it's such an ugly effect.

I've deleted SecBrowser.apk from system app but I'd like to know how do I remove the S Bookmark widget as well. Do you mind telling me how do I make clean remove of this stock browser (and what are the rest of the files should be deleted) because I'm planning to replace it completely with Chrome/Firefox from the store.

On the other hand, I'd also like to completely remove S Planner because I don't like the stock calendar. Does it mean I don't have to install Google Play Services when I first flash my phone in the Aroma? And what are the apks and the extra items should be deleted to make a clean remove of this stock calendar. I'm planning to use other calendar from the store.

I will press the thank button 10 times if you reply this!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] engloa:
Reboot your device. If you deleted it correctly, the apps you deleted won't be there:)

If it comes back after rebooting, you'll need to delete apps in the preload folder and its corresponding symlink inside system/app(this will be called your "clean remove")

Edit: Stock calendar will be named SecCalendar,so delete that from the preload and system/app folder(s)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
The size of the \system partition should be OK on the S2 as it mostly contains symlinks to the real apks in the \preload partition.

If yours is getting full, I suspect you've installed apks directly to the \system partition rather than dropping them in \preload and symlinking them.

Or did you mean the \data partition where downloaded apps are installed - if so, there's a guide here but make sure you follow the instructions exactly or you'll mess up your device.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cglegion:
Thank you kind sir, very fast answer, the S Bookmark widget is now gone after a reboot. Any idea regarding the S Planner safe-list of removeable apk and other related items to it? I'd like to get rid of this too but I'm not sure how to do it in a "clean" way.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] engloa:
I think its SPlannerAppWidget
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Yep, SPlannerAppWidget.apk is the S Planner widget and SecCalendar.apk is S Planner.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cglegion:
How about GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and SecCalenderProvider.apk? Do I need to remove these 2 also to make sure anything related to S Planner or the built-in stock calendar app removed completely? Thanks!!

As long as your third party calendar isn't going to use these then it should be OK to remove them.

To be on the safe side, I'd just rename them by adding .bak to the end of the apk's name for now - then you can get them back easily if you find you need them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cglegion:
Hey, thanks marjune23! You are always answering my questions! I stumbled upon this tool before, it's really great nonetheless, but I found it still quite hard to understand which apps/libs are safe to be removed because of the filename which isn't newbie-friendly, and I ended up asking in this thread like Automationtest_JBUP or CHS_J_Device_only or Stk and I have no idea what they are since the description only tells Automationtest_JBUP etc will be removed and no other details. I terminate the Aroma installer because I don't want to remove something I don't know. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] la_malacoda:
Hey guys, could you please give me some tips on how to solve my problem?

I'm using this rom (obviously LOL) and I'm not receiving notifications in real time from whatsapp in particular, but from other apps too. For example: I'm using my home wifi, and if I go to whatsapp it takes some seconds to sync, and then all the past messages come in..

Idk if it's related to greenefy, but I'm using the donation package too, and it should be fine since it has that little cloud, plus I hadn't greenyfied whatsapp :|

Another thing that happens is that if I change connection all the notifications from my email or Facebook or instagram or God knows what arrive, but not if I don't :/

Any tips please? Thanks, whish you all a great day :3

Damn, I've reached the 8 thanks limit per day. I'll thank you tomorrow, yeah. I saved so much time searching for this link you gave me. Now, back to customize time! :laugh:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
The PIT files increase the size of the \data partition by taking space from the internal sd partition - it doesn't touch the \system or \preload partitions.

Looks like you'll have to free up space by removing stuff.

Most of the \system\CSC folders can be removed which will free up 30+ MB (make sure you leave the one you're using) and anything in the \system\lost+found folder can go too. \system\media\audio also has a load of alarms, notifications & ringtones that you can get rid of if you're not using them.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] marjune23:
It's ok mate...Anyway, you hate 8 thanks limit in XDA? Use tapatalk app to have unlimited thanks. ;)

I'm not sure if it's possible to port brightness toggle to s4 stock toggles as I didn't port these toggles into Neatrom but [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION], so wait for his answer.

However, having in mind that brightness toggle ported into lidroid toggles is buggy (problem with correct switching brightness modes) IMO it's not a good idea to port it into s4 stock toggles while all you need you can do with brightness slider.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] [AltaiR]:
Yes you type it in the phone app.

I forgot to mention that the code will work on stock firmware only. I can see from your sig that you using Neatrom, so it should work on your phone, unless I think you deleted SecFactoryPhoneTest.apk?

Hi everyone, I noticed that I've lost the option to sync the stock browser with my google bookmarks. Been a few versions of neatrom since I was last able to do this. Tried googling and searching xda but couldn't find anything on this. Running NeatRom 5.9. Any ideas how I can get the option back to sync my Google bookmarks with the stock browser again? Thx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Vivek_Neel:
You don't have

Google Bookmarks Sync

Either extract it from neat zip and put it in system/app with rw r r permission

Or reflash ROM by selecting lyre in aroma
[Galaxy S II Android Development] avirk:
See in the preload folder if there is ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk, if not then you have to push it there. Also check the sync settings from the Setting.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Google Bookmarks?

IIRC it's never been possible to sync these with either Chrome or the stock browser

Or did you mean Chrome bookmarks?

If so, make sure you have ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk installed, you're signed in using the same Google account as on your desktop and Auto Sync & Sync Internet is on under the same account in Settings > Accounts.

[EDIT] Meeped x2 [/EDIT]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sefrcoko:
Thx guys for your help :). I checked and I already have that apk in the correct folder with proper permissions. Let me try to better explain the issue...

In the past I could add bookmarks using my phone's stock browser and then save them (through the same browser on my phone) to my google account instead of directly on my device. This way when I install a fresh rom I could just sync my bookmarks again using the option in my phone's menu (Settings --> Google--> my Google account email --> Sync Internet). Now that doesn't sync my bookmarks anymore in the stock browser. When I edit a bookmark in the stock browser, I no longer have the option to save it to my Google account (the same one I use for the Play Store). All I see there is "My device", there's no second option like there used to be.

I use a stock 4.2.2 rom on my Galaxy Note 8.0 tab and everything there works like it used to on my S2. Am I the only one? I've tried fresh wipes, etc.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cglegion:
I think I got what you mean. Mine is also showing "My Device" only, normally it will include my email (to be able to save the bookmark to my google account) but somehow somewhere somewhat went wrong it suddenly disappeared. I didn't like the stock browser anyway, so I ended up deleting the apk and installed Chrome from the market. Everything works well with my bookmarks now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sefrcoko:
Exactly! I'm forced to use Chrome now for the moment too, but would really prefer to go back to the way things were. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thx!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cglegion:
I installed Google Drive from the market yesterday but I received this sync error after that, Settings > Accounts > Google, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." The thing is, it never come back even after a day waiting. Can I know if this issue is on my side or Google's? Or did I mess up somewhere?

I tick/untick and Sync all but the icon next to my email address is still red in color instead of the usual green. I'm on extra light and have Google Play Services installed. What seems to be the problem? I also noticed syncing Calendar takes a little longer than the rest, sometimes fail, and need to do a manual re-sync.

Edit: Or perhaps it has something to do with the Aroma sync (built-in) clash with Chrome and Drive? Just my wild guess, this is driving me crazy, I'm so lazy to start all over again. My phone is damn nice already with it's Apex Pro and Cryten icons. :D
