Im going to update all of these for build 18 and remove the links to prior builds. I will, in each case post the process to build them for upcoming builds. If there is a link to the build 18 version of the MOD then it has been tested working.

ABOUT

This thread is dedicated to the MODs and themes ive created for myself and others. They only work with Jelly 'Beans' ROM.

ZIPS

In this thread there are two kinds of zips, VR Themer flashable zips and ZipThemer zips.

VR Themer flashable zips are just that – directly flashable in your recovery of choice. These special zips modify apks but do not overwrite them. This means that most MODs you have applied we remain after the flash.

ZipThemer zips require extra steps to make them flashable. Once you create the zip it essentally acts like the above VR Themer zip in that it modifies apks but does not overwrite them. This means that most MODs you have applied we remain after the flash. Multiple ZipThemer zips can be used to create one flashable zip.

Here are the steps to creating a flashable zip from a Zipthemer zip:

1. Download ZipThemer from the Play Store:*https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mlwdGhlbWVyIl0.

2. Download the zip(s) you want to flash and the UpdateEdify.zip.

3. Open ZipThemer app, hit the settings button and select Update Edify. Then browse to the UpdateEdify.zip you downloaded in part 2. Then select configure. Then hit the back button.

4. Press [+Theme] button and add the MOD(s) zip files. Ex. B13_Trans_Bar_Sense.zip

5. Click [Build it!] button, the app will ask you whether to make an undo zip, I recommended yes or always.

6. The app will patch your apps and pack into an update .zip.

7. When done, reboot to Recovery, install the *-update.zip from the root of your sdcard. Ex. Beans13Softkeys-update.zip

8. Reboot and enjoy!

9. If you want to go back to the way it was just boot into recovery and flash the undo zip (because you selected that option right?).

Coming Soon

Download: B13 & B14 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44601870/Beans 13 MODs/ZT_Template.zip / https://dl.dropbox.com/u/44601870/Beans 13 MODs/B13_SB_Image_VR.zip

Notes: This is a two part MOD. The first requires you to flash B13_SB_Image_VR.zip that enables the use of an image as your status bar. The second requires you to make your own image and create a ZipThemer zip that you can make flashable. Follow the instructions within the 'Show Content'/'Spoiler' button below.

This is a quick tutorial on how to create a ZipThemer zip for your status bar background.

First you need to download the ZT_Template.zip from the above.

Create a folder called Stat_BG_Image and place it in your home folder (or the C drive).

Now unzip ZT_Template.zip into the newly created folder.

Navigate to the folder and view the extracted files. There should be one folder called SystemUI, and one xml called Stat_BG_Image.xml.

Now open SystemUI and the subsequent folders till you are in ~/SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi. Inside drawable-xhdpi there should be an image file stat_bar_bg.png. This is the obviously the status bar background image.

Open the image in your favorite image processor and edit to your hearts content. However do not change the size. When you have finished save the image.

Now return to the folder Stat_BG_Image. This part may be slightly different in Windows. The procedure is the same though. Select both SystemUI and the xml, right click and select compress (I think in widows it is zip), name it Stat_BG_Image and make sure the type is .zip, click Create.

At this point you have a ZipThemer zip that is ready to be made flashable.

Move the newly created zip to your sdcard and follow the steps under the section called Zips to make the zip flashable.

Remember you must flash the B13_SB_Image_VR.zip before creating the flashable zip with ZipThemer.

I am confident that these will not cause problems however flash them at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone.
