N7105/N7100 Version! Seems like there was a few variations in the Int'l versions of these apk's as opposed to the US T-Mobile versions, so I extracted them from one of your Int'l ROMs here on this forum and decompiled and used those as a base for another version I compiled from them. This version will hopefully work for you guys!

Hey everyone! I've LONG hated the horrible brown colors that Samsung chose for the Snote app, QuickNote (popup note), and Calendar app. They clash miserably with everything and are really just unattractive to use, IMHO. To that end, I decided to dive into theming these mutha's! I've put mucho hours into trial and error and working the kinks out and am pretty much happy with them as they are now. That being said, I very well may still tinker with them or certainly try to fix anything that I may have missed...hence v1.0 :silly:

UPDATED v2.0: Change log is below, but essentially, I've added in the Calendar Widget (SPlannerAppWidget), and the VRTheme script will also now automatically make a FLASHABLE backup of your EXISTING version of all themed apk's in the /sdcard/vrthemeundo directory. Thanks to Dwitherell for that, and Alexia for showing me how to track down compilation errors and fix them!

I've opted for a pretty basic greyscale base and threw just dabs of color in here and there, but nothing overdone, still 90+% greyscale. For what its worth, VRtheme technique is used with these so you must have the apk's already installed, as it will not install them for you.

Special Thanks:

Alexia- General theming instruction and for teaching me VRtheme technique.

Dwitherell- General theming advice and kick-ass ROM.

Screenies:

CHANGE LOG:

v2.0:
*Added SPlannerAppWidget.apk -Greyscale
*Installer now also creates UNINSTALLER in sdcard\vrthemeundo\
-> Flashing this will restore the original apk's that where modded.

NICE !

I really like this theme

going to try it later

I think it will match my grey zomgo case (LIKE A BOSS) =)

thanks

keep doing this stuff

EDIT:

does not work..

1.the s note icon is corrupted I think =/

2.the app (s note) force close -unfortunately, s note has stopped-

3.if u mean by calendar (the s planner app) nothing changed

4.only quick note is working and themed grey

im using stock 4.1.2 deoxded rom rooted of course

WITH simplistic framework
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bluesc13:
This is what I've been waiting for, look so modern. Thank you
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Hmm...I just backed up and reflashed a 4.1.2 based ROM (Tweaked v2.3) and it worked perfectly. As this just uses VRTheming approach to theming a handful of apk's I didn't foresee any issues on GN2's. Maybe double check your MD5 and try again? Dunno what else to suggest. I guess there could be issues with Simplistic framework, I don't know squat about that though....sorry it didn't turn out better for you though :(
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ykkfive:
cool!

and imo, the newest quick note looks better then this old version, but without the keyboard button 'T'. have to mod it to have the button back

edit: btw, snote has quite a lot of different versions, try to make sure the lib files are correct or else causes FCs. good luck
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] fake_japanese_guy:
i tend to agree..

I just tried this on DME6 based rom, didnt work.

it just corrupted the snote. :(
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ali.alsayed.98:
Amm,, can you just list compatible roms or try to correct the lib files as somebody said before
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ykkfive:
sorry, didnt read he uses vr theming. in this case, there should be no lib files affected, right OP?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Yes, VRTheme is the approach I took. It doesn't touch any libs, and it backs up you originals in a folder on the root of your sdcard. This uses the version that came from my T-Mobile GN2, like I mentioned at the bottom of the OP. I obviously have no idea about compatibility with other versions out there, but since this only touches a handful of apk's, thought it might work for others and would be worth trying to share on other GN2 threads. That being said... Has anyone had any luck with it working on these versions of the GN2,or is everyone experiencing similar issues? If everyone is experiencing the problem, I can look into maybe whipping up a version that users your specific version of the these apk's. Would just need someone to zip then up and upload somewhere for me to get my hands on. The 4 I themed are :IdeaSketch, QuickNote, SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen, and SnoteT0. Just need your version of those 4 apk's and I'll see what I can do for you guys

:D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ali.alsayed.98:
I'm interested in this topic so can I work with you as a tester ?

I mean like testing your mod with several roms & with or without simplistic framework :D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
OK gang...I've uploaded a new version that I compiled from apk's I extracted from one of the ROMs here on your forum. There seemed to be a small difference here and there between my original efforts on the T-Mobile (US) variants, and what you guys likely have installed. That being said...I decompiled your versions, and used those as a base...modded them, recompiled and prepared another VRTheme flashable zip that should work better for you guys.

Of course I don't have a N7100/N7500 so I can not test these, but the VRTheme script will make backups of all modified apks in a folder on the root of your internal sdcard. So should things still not quite be right, you can restore your previous versions just by copying them from the backup folder to system/app, overwrite whats there, and fix permissions if necessary. Reboot to recovery, wipe caches/Dalvik and reboot system and you should be back to what you had before attempting this themed version.

I would appreciate it if someone would drop a quick reply in here and let me know how this one goes.

Tx, and hope you enjoy!
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ali.alsayed.98:
Great news bro:D

Its working (without simplistic framework)

I will check it later with the simplistic framework

1.s note Icon changed to grey (no lags , no FC )

2.inside the s note almost everything is grey

3.the quick note is grey too

4.the calendar (s planner app) is grey from inside

5.the s planner icon is the original one

6.all functions work well with no lag or in another way (there is no bad things you dont want to see during using it):p
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Good to hear!! Tx for testing this out, and I'm sorry for the earlier trouble with the first attempt. As this just touches those 4 apk's, it really shouldn't be affected by simplistic framework, but feel free to test it if you want...certainly no harm in making absolutely sure :)

Looks like I'll have to do the same thing for the US Verizon gang too. T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T all seem to use the same apk's, or at least similar enough that the VRTheme works on them so far at least.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] McLaren__F1:
Does this wortk for Odex ROM's?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
I don't know, I lack any way to test. But it does back up the 4 apk's that it Themes, so if you run into trouble, you can restore the files.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ali.alsayed.98:
you're right I've just tested it with simplistic framework 3.6 and its working well with no problems or lags & FCs:good::D

so the final result is :

1>its completely compatible with any N7100 (international version) stock rom :laugh:

2>deodexed & odexed rom friendly :)

3>its working with & without simplistic framework :highfive:

4>no lag , no FCs , no touchwiz problems . :victory:

I will upload some screenshots later

by the way...GREY FTW :cool::D

Tested on PhionexROM v13 odex and works:p

BTW how to get this widget? sorry if im asking a noob question:o
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
That's not a widget. That's the Popup Note application. That will run automatically when you pull out your SPen, if you enable it in the SPen section under settings.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] McLaren__F1:
Ah, got it:victory:

Not sure if this is a bug, the Splanner app icon is still stock and the splanner widget (4x4) is still brown?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
I just hated the brown in these applications. Wasn't bothered by the Splanner icon...On our versions, the icon is simply listed as "Calendar" on the launcher, and is green and white...acceptable to me. Is it something other than that for you? Maybe I missed an icon image if its not the same on your end?

I didn't theme the widget yet. These started for my own personal use for the most part, and since I don't use stock TW launcher, the SPlanner widget isn't something I even can use if I wanted to, so I use a paid app from the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.koxx.pure_grid_calendar

Now that I have this apparently working for you guys though, perhaps I can turn my attention towards the widget if you guys use it and would like it themed.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] McLaren__F1:
The icon for us is called splanner.

Could you possibly make a revert back to stock zip file too?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Ya, I can probably do that... May have time tomorrow if not too busy at work.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Added a zip to restore the stock apps that are themed.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Hemant:
Thanks will give it a try on Phoenix V13 though someone above said it supports.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] McLaren__F1:
The restore file doesn't work, error during installation
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Hmm...Ok...I'll recheck it when I get home, re-upload again. Could be corrupted.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] McLaren__F1:
Did u re-upload?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
No, sorry, not yet... To many distractions at home with birthdays and getting ready for vacation... Should have time tomorrow morning.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Ok...reassembled the zip and re-uploaded. This will restore STOCK versions of the files that this theme mods.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Gack69:
Updated OP: Version 2, Adds the Calendar widget (SPlannerAppWidget), for those of you who asked me about that. These edits worked fine on my T-Mo SGN2, should work on your version as well. Other than that...the VRTheme script will now automatically create a flashable zip of the modded APK's for you. The zip will be located at: /sdcard/vrthemeundo/ Once flashed, it will restore the versions of the modded apk's as they existed on you phone prior to flashing this theme. I'm trying to be clear here, as if you presently have flashed version 1 and are now flashing version 2 to get the calendar widget, the backup that this will create will contain the already themed apks for all modded apps except for the SPlannerAppWidget which is added in this latest version. For those upgrading from v1 that would like to go back to stock...you'll be best to either flash the standalone back to stock zip that I have supplied, or restore from nandroid...etc.

Question

Dear android experts

I'd like to ask, I have Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 and having problem in starting app ASPHALT 7 1.0.6, this app always stopped.

My question were:

1. What if my VGA card ( MALI ) is damaged??? does GT-N8000 device still could be started or couldn't be started????

2. what happened to my GT-N8000? because I just changing Jelly Bean version every month, and never got problem, and now I really got a problem, this time from XXCMD1 Multi-CSC Deodexed to XXCME2 Multi-CSC Deodexed downloaded from the XDA forum. from XXCMD1 asphalt 7 1.0.6 played smoothly then I install XXCME2 and asphalt 7 1.0.6 run smoothly, the last time when I feel that XXCME2 wasn't too good and I do the

1. 2x Wipe data / Factory Reset.

2. 2x Wipe Cache

3. 2x Wipe Dalvik Cache

4. 2x in each, Format SDCard, Format Preload, Format Data, Format System, Format Cache

5. Before install XXCMD1 Multi-CSC deodexed.zip I did a Wipe data / Factory Reset again. Then install

All of this were done using CWM 6.0.3.1

After install XXCMD1 my asphalt 7 1.0.6 could not run anymore, and always said app has stopped. only this app could not be started. all other games still could be started. Now I reinstall XXCME2 Multi-CSC deodexed and asphalt 7 1.0.6 still could not be started too.

What happened to my GT-N8000. Does device always changing OS could damage GT-N8000 hardware???

Thank you so much. :crying:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caaznkid:
lmao, thanks for hijacking my thread....I think your problem lies more with the asphalt game. If your GPU was damaged then you'd see a lot of artifacts and a lot of other games would crash too.

Also, I fixed my wakelock maxed CPU frequency problem.

Downloaded an app called SGS toolbox and used to to delete corrupt images on SD which fixed the media scanner problem. Now my tablet can sleep in peace. :good:

Hello, I have a strange issue with my Gio.

I have poor and unstable signal but only with one provider (TMN Portugal)

On Vodafone it´s all ok.

I have tryed diferent roms, selecting manualy the network, but the problem remains.

I have asked the service provider for a replacement sim card, but all the same.

On this card it shows as signal power (unstable) -115 dBm 0 asu

With the vodafone card (stable) -81dBm 17 asu.

It is not a poor signal zone, on other phones the signal power is good.

Can anyone please help?

Thankyou

Hello,

to cut a long story short I have my device with this configuration:

Smartphone: Motorola RAZR XT910

ROM: 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU

Kernel: 3.0.8-g7198280 hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid84 #1 SMP PREEMPT

The problems that I am experiencing:

1) Neither Mac, Win, nor Linux detect my RAZR when I connect it to the computer. Weird thing is that RSD (on Win) and Terminal (Linux) seem to detect the phone.

I tried switching ON/OFF USB debugging, Mass Storage, MTP but no luck at all.

2) I cannot root it! When I try to apply the Dan Rosenberg method all I get is:

3) I cannot boot into recovery! When I switch on pressing Power + VolUp + VolDown I get into the screen with robot & red ! triangle but even pressing buttons from there does not take me anywere! I don't know what to do.

4) Last but not least I would like to unlock the bootloader and change kernel. I got to know that this 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU appears to lock you yet I would like to ask if someone found some turnaround.

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot for the support!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] AztekSoul:
Have you installed the latest drivers? Sounds like that's you issue..

And to boot into recovery turn off your device then press power+volume up+volume down and select recovery,when you get to the android with red triangle press volume up+volume down for about 10 seconds I think then let go and you'll enter to the recovery mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] albertaz:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I have the latest drivers installed both on Win and on Mac, as for Linux I guess they are not needed :)

Yet nothing happens... On Win I keep hearing that notifications sound but nothing shows up. On the RAZR screen I read something like "AT command service start", "AT command service stop" when I plus/unplug it to the PC USB. And that's it :(

As for the recovery: thanks a lot. It worked although I had to try a couple of times as the device sometimes freezes even during that boot stage.

I got the same problem when updated to JB to root the phone. Just try to root again since phone couldnot root first time i tried. Then i run the script again and it was ok...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] albertaz:
After several attempts I used a linux computer and did step by step what Dan described in his root procedure.

I found out that there was a last problem which was that the phone was looking for "rfs1" while the "run.sh" on linux was using "rsf0" so I edite the "run.sh" file in the folder /tmp/share (you should find that at line 47):

echo "[+] Rooting phone..."

echo "[+] Your phone may appear to reboot. Please ignore this and continue with the exploit."

$adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn 1 ---> I modified that into $adb shell /storage/rfs1/pwn

then I saved and re-applied the last part of the ROOT procedure and it worked smoothly.

2) USB connection reappeared!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ersink:
That's useful info. I always try custom roms and smtimes razr got soft bricked so i flash the firmware again then root again. Every rooting process i stuck first then reroot the phone. This is the situation why at first try phone cannot rooted.
