[Defy Themes and Apps] [] AL []:
Yo all,

If you did not follow all of my off-topic posts on the cm7 thread lately, here's my little x-mas present for you...

I've been asked a couple times if I could regroup all of the cm7 tweaks and mods in one spot so here it is!

It's no an exhaustive list as it mainly covers the stuff from the last 2-3 months; I did what I could on this with the limited time I had for this today.., but I think it's a good start and that it should keep you guys busy for a while anyway.;) I also did this for my own personal recollection and for future quick reference and access.

Notes:

- I always do my best to give credits to whoever it is due, but if I forgot to do it anywhere, please let me know and I'll do the correction.

- Please play it safe and before you try any of this, make (nand) backups, undo zips and remember that you do it at your own risk.

- As usual, please do not full-quote my long posts.

So here we go:

How to disable Search button tweak

1- Faster screen orientation rotation tweak AND 2- ZipAlign at boot (zip included)

How to use a custom script in order to get Droidwall to work while using DroidVPN (read post#2)

How to get my favorite text font

OK well, that was basically what I could put together from the latest 1/5th of all my posts here on xda...

For sure there are some missing and I also have a few new ones and writeups in mind; so we'll see what future holds in this regards.

But if you want more, you can start by reading through my threads; this one for example has quite a few tweaks and apks included. And on post #2, there's a guide on how to make the statusbar transparent [although still on my todo list is to add to it a guide on properly create/modify patch-9 pngs - coz I still see quite a few people having problems with that :p]

* * *

MOST IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE END:

* * *

Some of the old (pre-September 2012) flashable zips I've posted might, or rather, will no longer work on recent cm7 builds. So PLEASE READ THIS and find out how to correct/redo them to work properly:

My thread on how to make CWM recovery flashable zips

Sorry, but I will not go through 900+ posts and redo all my zips... at least not now. :cowboy:

So let's all rejoice that we've survived 2012 doomsday, I wish a merry x-mas and happy holidays season to all of you.

Cheers,

/AL
