Maybe I should have given more detail. I have no problem decompiling and recompiling the apk's or jar's. I know how to do that. I need to know exactly how the CRT-OFF animation was added. To what file and lines (once decompiled) were changes made.

I do not need help decompiling or compiling. Only need to know which files were touched, and how, so I can reverse the changes. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Jirv311:
The easy way might be to decompile framework-res and in bools.xml (I think) change animatescreenlights to true/false? Just change to opposite whatever is there now. :D

There's a tutorial somewhere for adding the smali. I believe that is ONLY for the effects though. Animatescreenlights should be the trigger.

I think I am making progress with getting APKs to compile. I did get the stock framework-res.apk to decompile and recompile. I have an "unsignedframework-res.apk" now from Wanam's tool. I checked the log and found several warnings though. It only compiled after I fixed some plurals errors. Trying it again, but this time with the ICS Domination framework.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Jimieo:
I managed to compile an unsignedframework-res.apk using Wanam's tool. It appeared to have everything needed within it. (Did not test the apk itself)

When I moved onto the ICS Domination apk, I ran into more trouble. A ****load of errors to be exact. See the log here.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] C3P0LOL:
YUCK!! I'm not sure what you should try at this point...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Jimieo:
Me neither. I'd love to use ICS Domination as the theme for the rom I'm making for myself, but since I can not for the life of me get his apks to decompile or compile properly, it looks as if I will have to replicate his theme on my own. :(

I had asked the guy who made the theme if he would mind sharing a zip file of a few of his themed APKs prior to compiling them so I could add/remove what I want on my own and hopefully compile it properly, but it seems my request has gone ignored. I can't say I blame him really.

On root66 you can apply pretty much everything in this thread with the exception of the one that removes the full battery notification. That one requires a smali edit which you have to have a deodexed rom for.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] ILLHYHL:
silly question here,,

can i apply this mod to tmobile version?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Jimieo:
I'm pretty sure its universal. However the best way to find out for certain is to decompile the apk and see if the lines to be edited are present. If so, then yes.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] ILLHYHL:
then what happens to different shaped bars?

tmo has less signal bars then other carrier, if i'm correct.

or it doesn't matter?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Jimieo:
Are you talking about flashing freeza's zip? or editing your own APKs to include his tweaks?

If you are flashing the ZIP, then there will most likely be something breaking since his ZIP is for Sprint. Editing your own T-Mo apks should work.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] ILLHYHL:
flashing the zip on the first page :p

might have to wait for someone else to do it then...

I DID IT! I FIGURED IT OUT!

Finally!! Holy crap! I'm an idiot! I figured out what the problem with ICS Domination was!... It was me. lmfao

Okay, when decompiling the app, I saw the same error many others did with the .9.png images and it renaming them. I did NOT remove the renamed PNG files. That was the only thing! After removing the renamed images, things compiled just fine!

I do have one question for anyone who can answer me though. I did get a lot of warnings, not errors. I'm wondering if someone would be willing to take a look at the attached log and tell me if I should be concerned about any of these.

I'm on Bean's Rom and was able to decompile ICS Domination and transfer the necessary files over to keep the same style but get stuff like I wanted. I then made my tweaks and recompiled. An awesome thing is that the smali files I transferred over keep the location icon from showing. Now all I have to do is figure out how to change the color of "No Notifications".

Hey Freeza, you seem to be quite the expert on TouchWiz framework theming so I got a good one for you.

Basically I wanted to make my device look as much like the Gnex as possible and first thing on my list is to turn the softkeys back on. I was successful in reenabling the softkeys but they are not in the right order and the images are not stock images. Fixing the images should be trivial since it just involves replacing the png files in the systemui.apk file but even after I replace the images in the file they still show as the old images. I extracted every png from the file, thinking that maybe they are in more than one spot but I can only find them in the drawable-sw800dp-xhdpi folder.

Replacing the images I figured would be easy but I still have the issue of being able to reorder them. Do you think you can take a look and see if you can figure out what i'm missing. I can give you the info on how to turn the softkeys back on if you need it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] thekendog:
Yeah you know how you have to go into the clock smali file and do 0x2 under static constructor or whatever? 0x1 is for small am/pm. I found this in the file itself. It lists out what the codes are for each am/pm setting at the beginning of that file. 0x0 is normal, 0x2 is gone, 0x1 is small.

My G2X is currently sitting in a drawer, and I was wondering how well it would function as a dedicated set top box for my HDTV. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and has any suggestions on a good rom to use, as wells as accessories.

I was thinking it would be cool to use it as a DLNA client and possibly set up a NAS server. I would also want a keyboard and mouse for web surfing as well as a game controller for playing games. Netflix is also a no brainer. I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work just as well as those cheap android TV boxes coming out of china.

Any Advice?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
This may just be my experience but I have had a lot of trouble getting a stable video from my HDMI on it. It may be the rom (EB, 4.0.4 AOSP) but I'm not so sure this phone was ever designed for that. It's possible, maybe, but I wouldn't hold your breath..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I am able to get stable HDMI output. I played some games with my G2X/P999 attached to an LCD screen via HDMI. I'm using the stock V21Y ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Don't see why it wouldn't work. And with CM7.2 you can use a bluetooth mouse, too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] parkgrrr:
Any other suggestions on ROMs? Are there any ICS ROMs that have solid 1080p output? I used the HDMI out with cyanogenmod but if I remember correctly it didnt work that smoothly.

With the announcement of full featured XBMC for android I think this could work out pretty well!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] deathmaker06:
More than certain this can be done. I've used my g2x to play Game Boy / Game Boy advance games on my 55 inch TV before with a wii remote. Played for a good 4 hours. Although it did overheat and reboot a few times... Though I'm willing to bet that was due to the fact my phone was OC at 1.4GHz and I don't think that emulator had a frame rate limit. Also I've used it to stream from my NAS using es file explorer and mx player to get the best out of the phone. For streaming I watched 4 episodes of Pokemon approx 170mb each episode in one go.

What I did notice though is that if you are going to be using it for this it will drain the battery faster than it can charge. I've never fully drained the battery while it was plugged in during my use so you are going to have to experiment a little on your own to find out how long it lasts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
I finally went out and bought a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and I can confirm that with an app called "Blueinput" (free but adds text ass your typing unless you register it for 9.99Eur) it does work. You can hook your phone to a charger, mini hdmi to your tv, connect bt mouse and keyboard via blueinput and sit back and use the phone via bt mouse and keyboard. I went full nerd. I bought a logitech keyboard that was made for ICS and has the google buttons on the keyboard, but I'm running cm7 and they dont register in the bt test section of blue input. The mouse is a little touchy, and there is no pointer, so no ability to click the background and add widgets, but any item on the screen can be selected with the mouse and the right click is back. I don't feel like loading ICS again to test on that, but next time I do I will let you all know how it works.

I also bought the wii classic that connects with a wire to the regular wii remote so I can map even more buttons and can now play snes and probably ps1 and better (haven't tried yet). Still think the G2X out does every other phone I have played with/rooted for people.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] subsounds:
I have just purchased a g2x specifcally to try and use as a media player i will remove the mainboard from its case and put it into a 2.5" portabld hdd case for better ventilation, put a heatsink on the cpu and wire up some usb ports for extra connectivity, should it all work ok it should be a good little media box neatly packaged into a set top box type casing.

I do have a couple concerns

I have noticed people videos of mirroring from the g2x it only goes into fullscreen when playting a game or video but the desktop displays small, can that be changed and since I have no use for the lcd I want to have the hdmi permanent only output not mirroring.

will shows some pics of it all working when done, if it fails I will pretend I simply lost interest in the project and never be heard from again.

New member giant noob here.

Galaxy Note - Official ics 4.04 installed using Kies. I had rooted the phone prior to ICS but now need to re-root.

I did a flash of a program ending in tar through odin. This appeared to be successful. Now am supposed to flash super user. I downloaded the ics superuser but I need someone to give me a detailed step by step proces on completing the root.

It looks like other people are doing it, but I obviously don't know enough. Sorry, but I just don't understand technical references. Need the step by step program.

Thanks if anyone is willing to help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
All Odin flashes is .tar files..So that was vague...but I'm guessing that was cwm recovery.

Superuser should be a .zip

Put that on your phone's internal sdcard, or external if you have one, doesn't matter which you choose.

Now power off the phone.

Hold all three buttons (both volume and power)

When you feel a vibrate, let go of just the power button.

When the recovery menu pops up, scroll to install zip from sdcard

If it's on external choose the option at the top, of its internal the option at the bottom well say "install zip from INTERNAL sdcard"

Scroll through the folders/files and find the superuser zip, then select that and confirm the installation.
