Thanks, I flashed over the all the files and was greated by the default Gingerbread theme. Flashed over to Cyanogenmod from there with no issues.

Thanks again, worked great.

Sorry to hijack a thread, but can this be done on a Moto Droid Razr?

I did the OTA update to ICS, and can't stand it. Want to go back to GB.

Any options? Or is this being worked on?

Thanks in advance.

Its almost certain that people who change ROMs do so after taking a backup of their apps using Titanium Backup...and after changing ROM, the Titanium Backup has to be downloaded again to restore apps...which is of course a pain in the a$$...So why not include Titanium Backup as a preloaded app in ALL ROMs? It should be standardized...
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
maybe the devs don't have permission to distribute titanium.

Titanium has a "create update.zip..." function somewhere.

create a flashable titanium zip. flash your new rom, reboot into new rom (i don't think you can flash them on top of each other), then reboot back to recovery, flash the titanium zip.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
From within titanium backup you create a flashable zip. This can be flashed from recovery after flashing a ROM.

Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
@ OP : You can download the latest verison apk file of Titanium backup from the official site here & keep it in the root of your SD card, before flashing a new ROM.
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
it's fine in case you have also file manager as a part of a ROM, not? :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Incredible, first time I heard of this! Is this only available to pro users?
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
I think so. Never tried before since a short download from play store makes the same solution. It's installed. :D:D:D

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Agree, but most dev's include at least ES File Explorer in their ROM's nowadays.
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
i don't think so. i remember seeing it in the preferences menu even before i bought Pro.

[HTC Desire S] commanderdileep:
No..Its available in free version too...
[HTC Desire S] Forcefire:
I understand your point BUT considering I don't use it I would have to uninstall it every time I re-ROM'ed my phone.

The ROM makers can not make everyone happy all the time, I'm sorry to say.
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
No disrespect but the needs of many outweigh the few TiBu is amazing albeit confusing but no backup app is even close
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I'd rather just get titanium backup from play. I'm getting all my other apps anyway and I hardly consider one app to be a pain to download. Besides it's much easier to remove if I get it from play.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Agreed. I would rather that every custom ROM was built with absolutely NO applications - just the tweaks / settings required for the ROM to boot up and connect to the outside world. Include Google Apps and anything else as zipped add-ons that you can flash if you choose, but I have never used FaceBook or Twitter and hate having to remove them post-install.

Anyone who regularly flashes ROMs will either be happy to download the apps they want each time, will have the .apk files stored on their PC, or will have a Titanium Backup of their apps.
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
I prefer this way too.

Tried the way to make a flashable .zip which works fine (installed as user app) - but I prefer the fresh dl from play store.

[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
If I'm allowed to I would like to contribute my opinion from the developer side.

First of all, at cm you can forget about the possibility, because titanium is closed source.

At aokp it's almost the same.

At other roms I guess it won't be included as well, because it isn't the only backup solution (if one is added, others want theirs to be added as well) and no dev wants to shoot into his own leg, because it is for sure handy and one of the best backup solutions out there atm, but it can cause many problems, not only when system data is restored from an incompatible version or at worst case from a different rom, also at other apps it causes fcs sometimes when they got restored with tb and the first thing many users do is to blame the rom for it before they try it clean (for sure not all).

I personally always use the built in backup solution from Google and only restore some save games with titanium.

I also agree with keeping the base as clean as possible, everything else is much user dependent and even if you find a base many users are happy with there still will be some that aren't and with keeping it clean it's fair play for anyone for my opinion.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Oops, it seems I got confused. I thought by a titanium zip, it was a backup of all your titanium backup apks. So simply flashing it will restore your apps...

I guess not, so I agree with Dan, it's pretty pointless, and it more cumbersome to remove.

Also Simon, I felt this way too during the Windows Mobile days, as there was no possible way to actually remove the apps from the ROM that the chef cooked it. I used to beg them in threads to release RIMs without apps!
[HTC Desire S] Steinhund:
The first time I had seen this option I thought so, too. But I always that it doesn't make any sense to me since I always prefer a clean install of a rom. So I never tried to make an update.zip until I read this thread. :D

The only time I think it makes sense to do it that way is when you have a limited data plan and don't want to keep your downloads low when you switch roms.

BTW you can install the update.zip as a user app so its easy to remove afterwards. I did that just for research and it works well. But, honestly, I won't do it in the future. As I wrote before I prefer a clean installation and download the needed apps again from the play store.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] flyfingersfly:
man wouldn't that be a dream tool for relentless ROM swappers eh?

create a flashable zip of all your user apps, flash new ROM, flash user apps zip, dalvik cache wipe, and you're done restoring everything. hehe

but then thats only a few clicks away from "create a flashable zip of Titanium, flash new ROM, reboot, batch restore missing user apps using Titanium, dalvik cache wipe."

As requested by TheGreatSega, I have managed to disable auto rotation of AOSP ICS lockscreen by editing bools.xml for res\values and res\values-land

Thanks to HANSIP87 for original mod :)

P.S Music Player also works in lock screen(no missing buttons) :D

Screenshots:

Normal

Music On

Prove of lockscreen rotation disabled:

Replace framework-res.apk in system/framework.

Set permissions to rw-r--r--

Remember to backup original framework-res.apk or have a nand backup(CWM)

Take note that this is for 4.0.3(.562)

On user's requests, I am currently working on 4.0.4(.431/.587)

Should be done within the week since I am still studying.

Edit: Finished 4.0.4(.431/.587), see under Attachments

Thanks to zbycho_s for posting up the original framework-res.apk

Please help me test and feedback if there is something wrong

At the request of lynx_king, I have created an update zip which can be flashed. This is for 4.0.4(.431/.587). If anyone needs flashable zip for 4.0.3(.562), pls request and I shall upload it.

Update: Zip file fixed, there was some erratic code which caused the installation to go wrong.

At the request of rence1234, I have modified the lock rings so they have union jacks on them instead of the defaults. If you guys want a custom lockring for your framework, please post a picture of the lockring icon and I shall modify the lockring and post the apk on your request post. Don't forget to mention which framework you are using(4.0.3 OR 4.0.4)

Update(18/10/12) - Progress on Jelly Bean Style lockscreen, currently combining and editing Galaxy Nexus and Arc resources. Main issue would be the music player.

REMINDER. PLEASE RENAME THE FILES TO FRAMEWORK-RES.APK! I changed the names of the files so I could differentiate which files were for which firmware. ALSO DON'T FORGET TO SET PERMISSIONS TO RW-R--R--. I WILL NOT REPLY PM'S or POSTS REGARDING BOOTLOOP BECAUSE OF WRONG PERMISSIONS
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] simplyjustkids:
Hey could you help me with my framework into this as well? as my has kinda on-screen keys set and i don't really want to change them :)

Edit - eh my framework is from 4.0.3 and not the one posted around here so if yer free, i post it right here so you can help me =p
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] popthosegaskets:
Reply to simplyjustkids

This mod is for 4.0.3(.562)

Hmm... I see what I can do about it, but I'm not that experienced yet. Maybe you could bring this up to a much senior developer? He may able to do something about that.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] simplyjustkids:

That should work, but I prefer to use 7zip... More of user preference...

You can use my framework-res.apk bmp files for that.

Sorry about not able to help since I just started modding. Got my android phone only recently. Not easy to pick up android when you have experience with windows programming, the two are so different.

need help from the coder

I found a same tweak like with with aeonworld? Its actually a frameworkres mod from xperia S, that gives the same lock screen with music controls.

the difference is with his mod, there is a persistent auto-rotation, which i am very happy to see that you have fixed.

but then again, after flashing your mod, i found that the pointer (on the text box editing) went back to blue instead of the xperia s ics style.

would it be ok if you can fix that? its not a bigdeal for many, but i believe it will help us all get a full xperia S ICS experience.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] popthosegaskets:
I can try, but I will need the framework-res from you as I need to extract the pointer files from it and place it in my mod.

Glad to know that it works on Xperia S though, I thought that it would work on ARC/ ARC S only.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Mr_Comple:
i tottaly love your work i wantes this lockscreen like a crazy...! a step closer to the pure ICS experience :P

i want to ask you,if there is any way to customize the current lockscreen... for example a shortcut for messages or contacts....

how can i help you...? answerrrrrrrrr i am burning to find out ;)

edit : i dont want to flash any aokp rom....just to "steal"some features

For now, widgets or shortcuts on lockscreen is not possible. You can try the Xperia S lockscreen port for Arc though, their lockscreen has more stuff.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] XPS_93:
This is an edited frame work so you gotta need CWM to flash the zip instead of installing it normally.

Hahaha you got me wrong, I mean adding the Google function to the top of the circle. It'll be appreciated if you can do this XD
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] popthosegaskets:
You can either use root explorer to manually replace the system files or use CWM for flashing. Flashing would be easier if you do not want to brick your phone.

Hmm... Another thing to add to my to-do list. This 1 is JB function. I shall work on it and try to intergrate with JB lockscreen.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] manufergam:
Ok, one more thing, I understand that is better CWM way, but: Can I install CWM replace framework-res.apk and uninstall CWM, call me strange but I dont like very much recovery menu.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] malih16:
after installing, there's ICS 3-bar menu button (on the top right of the apps) especially on Google Apps, like when you have on-screen button installed, would it be possible to make it so that the ICS menu button doesn't appear?
