Addons

AuroraPlay Auto-ODEX Activator

This ZIP will only be required for those who install new APKs to /System/app and will only ODEX this folder. It will NOT reODEX the framework.

If the above ZIP doesn't work, please try this one http://www.mediafire.com/?4d6zzp9237ljlgg

AuroraPlay - SuperUser Fix for Locked Bootloaders - Also works with other ROMs such as Gin2JellyBean. (See attached/Bottom of Post)

AuroraPlay 'Complete' Pack Addon v0.1 - For AuroraPlay v0.4 Only

As of AuroraPlay v0.4, the following additions are no longer included in standard versions of AuroraPlay - however can be optionally flashed to our device using the specified update ZIP.

If you do not want any of the additions below, navigate to the specified folder in the ZIP and delete them.

Notification Bar - Centered Clock (Attached) - v0.1/v0.2 ONLY

The method to center the clock that works for almost every ROM, refuses to work on this one! It seems to not be pulling the settings from SystemUI.apk

Xperia S Widgets & Walkman for AuroraPlay - v0.1/v0.2 ONLY

This will add the standard clock widget, digital clock widget, walkman app and walkman widget to your installation of AuroraPlay. (Working on adding Weather widget & more - defaults are not compatible with Holo Launcher)

Timescape Addon for AuroraPlay

Transparent Status Bar for AuroraPlay - Must be flashed when installing ROM (If not requires Factory Reset) - Now included in ROM by default as of v0.2.

This will make your status bar transparent, and also further to the transparency of your status bar when maximised.
