[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
First off, I'd suggest you flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2575766 which IS stock, only SuperSU and kernel mods added.

Fastboot flash the TWRP recovery, factory reset from wipe menu, reboot to recovery, ADB push the ROM and SuperSU v1.86 (download from chainfire). Flash the ROM and SuperSU.

Once you are up and running, and still want to de-bloat, then search for my post about Romcleaner.....

If you need detailed instructions, let us know!

The bootloader menu shows your phone status (hold power key and volume down until it appears).

Install DiskUsage from the store, it will show you if you have large files/cache on your sdcard.

Yes, deodex is more dev "friendly" :)
[HTC One Mini] green_rebel:
Silly me..i hadnt read the lines until their end :P Im S-on.. Is that good or do i need s-off?

Thnx a lot for the info about the diskUsage. Very handy prog! And I saw that Ive messed up the internal mem..too many partitions for no specific reason and around 600mb of cache.

If I want to make a fresh install of the deodex do I need to make a clear storage along with the davlik/cache wipe and factory reset?
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
Yes, you need to format data, not just wipe - BE WARNED, this will remove ALL user data from your phone, INCLUDING any nandroid backups.....

If you are flashing the 4.3 deodex you don't need to be S-OFF :)

Oh, and remember to flash boot.img which you extract from the rom zip file - do this AFTER you have wiped, adb pushed rom and supersu, installed both, rebooted to recovery, then reboot to bootloader - when there, use: fastboot flash boot boot.img

:)
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
And I'm baaaaaaack!

Thanks for your help, I had to sideload the ROM as push locked up TWRP but got it on in the end. SuperSU installed itself, possibly from the market, it didn't stick so had to download it from the link and push it via TWRP.

The ROMCleaner is a gem, got rid of loads of ****. I'm guessing the parent controls are there to stay though yes?

Other than that, thanks again, really helped me no end, I appreciete it. :)
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
No problem, happy that I helped!

You can get rid of Kid Mode/Parent controls by either freezing (or uninstalling) Kid Mode using Titanium Backup, or add KidMode-google.apk to your romcleaner user file.... :)
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
Hi again,

Sorry to pester you once again, hope you don't mind.

So I used the ROM cleaner and may have stuffed things up.

It got rid of some crap like Best Deals, but now my blink feed only has Facebook and Google+ updates, I can't seem to use it for the news; which oddly enough is all I use it for!

Also I'm looking at the text file and it does say:

com.twitter.android*.apk Twitter

yet Twitter is still installed. A piece of software I care not about.

Did I use the wrong file or something? Is there a way of reverting or do I start from scratch?

Thanks again :)
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
Hi, apologies for the delay replying.... Do you still need help?

The script removes most HTC bloat - there are a couple of apk's you need to install back to system.....

You can either flash the ROM again, and modify the the user file, or install the missing apk's which you can extract from the ROM zip - if you need help, let me know....

:D
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
Hiya mate.

So I decided to rebuild my phone rather than restore APK's. I've attached a no-sense.txt file from your post and hashed out a few apps and added the kid mode thing.

does this look right? I think this is the one I used before and yet it never removed twitter. Does it sometimes have to be ran more than once?

Thanks again. Lots of thumbs up to you.
[HTC One Mini] green_rebel:
Many thnx for the info..all worked fine and ive got the deodex rom running on my dev, although i havent seen any differences from the odex one..could u plz tell?..plus the fact that two apps that use gps keep on crushing. Any ideas why that happens??

thnx a lot
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
Credit to [MENTION=2047451]R_a_z_v_a_n[/MENTION] for the explanation (save me doing it!)

Odex Vs Deodex:

What is an ODEX file?

In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space. These ‘odex’ files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application. On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.

What is an DEODEX file?

Deodexing is basically repackaging of these APKs in a certain way, such that they are reassembled into classes.dex files. By doing that, all pieces of an application package are put together back in one place, thus eliminating the worry of a modified APK conflicting with some separate odexed parts.

So, Deodexed ROMs (or APKs) have all their application packages put back together in one place, allowing for easy modification such as theming. Since no pieces of code are coming from any external location, custom ROMs or APKs are always deodexed to ensure integrity.

The advantage of deodexing is in the ability to modify various APKs.

On the other hand, since the .odex files were supposed to quickly build the dalvik cache, removing them would mean longer initial boot times. However, this is true only for the first ever boot after deodexing, since the cache would still get built over time as applications are used. Longer boot times may only be seen again if the dalvik cache is wiped for some reason.

Re GPS, please install GPS Status Test & Fix - No Ads from the store and let me know if this runs ok....

:)
[HTC One Mini] green_rebel:
MANY MANY THNX for the reply and credits to Razvan indeed :) :)

Reg the gps, do i have to be outside on open space to test it?? how long do i have to wait for it to synchronise?
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
GPS will require sight of sky, so go near a window..... You should get a number of satellites within seconds, and a fix seconds after that.....
[HTC One Mini] green_rebel:
Ok..gps found 8/9 satelites and fixed according to the prog..thats good, right?

:good:good work
[Android Themes] xdagee:
Great :laugh:
[Android Themes] EnricoD:
thank you.. gonna add gradients to my. next gb rom.. :) I've more white if you want I can share ;)
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
Nice guide. :good:

Btw You can use xml method for the gradient statusbar, So that the users can change the opacity and color of their choice without any image editor. If you didn't understand you can take a look at gradient_bg.xml in SystemUI.zip from my guide.
[Android Themes] sharingan:
i will definitely gonna try it on my ace with gb

happy new year in advance :laugh::good:
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
Yes, we can do that. But this one is much simple and the output will be same.

Happy new year to you also.

Yes you can share after all XDA is a place for sharing.
[Android Themes] prav3955:
can it be used on ICS ROM
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
It should work give a try.
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
Ya, the output will be same and this method is simple also but if the user wants to change the color of the gradient

In image method: He should use any photo editor.

In xml method: He should just change the hex color code.

Just a suggestion that you can edit the op and create 2 methods for this, Method 1 is image method and Method 2 is xml method.

Sent from my GT-S5360
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
Ok. Thanks I will add second method also.

[MENTION=4450994]kk9999gada[/MENTION] thanks buddy need more tweaks for ginger bread .... KEEP UP THE LEGACY
[Android Themes] Erhany:
Hello, first thank you for this but I think this is not a full guide. I tried that but icons & words got blurred.. First do we need a transparency mod inside systemui smali files?
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
There is no need to do modding with smali files for getting transparency. The icons are only for MDPI devices. I have resized the icons according to my device.

And please don't quote whole OP.
[Android Themes] parthbhatia98:
Helpp!!

Hey replaced my status bar background by ur png but i am not getting that kitkat look...

any idea to solve this??

I am on CM7 based rom on galaxy y...
[Android Themes] MuSaddiq:
Try these steps:

Decompile your launcher

open res/values/styles.xml

add this style

<style name="My.Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>

now open AndroidManifest.xml

find this line (this line may be different in your rom)

<application android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">

add this code in that line

android:theme="@style/My.Theme"

Now that line will look like this

<application [COLOR="Red"]android:theme="@style/My.Theme"[/COLOR] android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">

Recompile

Push it in to system/app

Set proper permissions(rw-r--r--)
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
I guess you are using Holo Launcher.

If yes then go to Launcher Settings > Desktop Settings > Scroll to Bottom > Check Hide Shadows at top and bottom.

Now enjoy gradient status bar.
[Android Themes] parthbhatia98:
Thanks mate, done it successfully!!

But minor correction in ur step is tht we hav to 'check ' hide shadow option and not 'uncheck' :P
[Android Themes] parthbhatia98:
I am facing same problem in lockscreen too...

Can you tell me wat xml is of locksreen!??
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
In Holo Locker > Change lockscreen tint to 0%.

Plus version of holo locker is required for this.
[Android Themes] :
Noo... i am on stock locksreen...

ie. i have to edit xml in framework-res.apk but which xml to edit and what to do??

Can you tell me that? ?

bcz statusbar is lookin ugly on lockcreen...
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
I don't know how to do that. But as far as i know there is no lock screen tint in gingerbread. Better use holo locker.
[Android Themes] ds0987654321:

I'm having some issues with the status bar. I believe it is transparent but it doesn't have anything to show beneath it. Tried holo launcher, adw launcher with wallpaper hack disabled, hidden shadows in holo launcher and still the same. Also when I launch an app still the same. Any help is appreciated.
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
Which ROM you are using?

This MOD is only for GB ROMs

Did you edited the right line as mentioned in OP?
[Android Themes] TheTrakO:
I'm on a modified stock 2.3.6 ROM, and yes, I did change the exact line. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Hello bro... i used this mod for my device and when i flashed it... it got into the bootloop can you help me with it? :( thanxs in advance! :laugh:
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
You may have done something wrong. Double Check the Whole Compiling and Decompiling process.

De-Odexed ROM is required for this MOD.
[Android Themes] AFN:
Having error decompiling,any idea?? :(
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
Install framework-res.apk of your ROM then decompile

Use this command to install it (without quotes):

"apktool if framework-res.apk"
[Android Themes] AFN:
Did that
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
Is your ROM deodexed?
[Android Themes] AFN:
Yup
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
Upload your SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and also any other xxx-res.apk if there in your ROM.
[Android Themes] joses444:
worked perfect
[Android Themes] Mrinal Roy:
Didnt worked for me sir :(

here are the screenshots...statusbar is still black and when a notification comes it just like in the screenshot...
[Android Themes] kk9999gada:
Double check each step that you have done. It should be working on all GB ROMs. And also make sure that the launcher you are using supports transparent status bar.
[Android Themes] Erhany:
This is just a png mod guys. I had same black/ stupid notifications bla bla. U have to mod .smali file first which is not explained here..
[Android Themes] qmobilea2:
same problem here :(

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Which .smali file to edit ? can u plz explain? or link to any guide related?
[Android Themes] Erhany:
SOLUTION!

Guys, here's the solution for you and others..

-decompile apk and go to smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarService.smali

-

.line 334
.local v7, view:Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarView;
new-instance v0, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;

const/4 v1, -0x1

const/16 v3, 0x7d0

const/16 v4, 0x48

const/4 v5, [B]0x2[/B]

invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V

.line 341

you will see something like that after searching invoke-direct/range . Line no may differ. Im on Xperia arc GB. Anyway

change const/4 v5, 0x2 with const/4 v5, -0x3

-save and compile..

- Its a %100 solution if you have 0x2 there..

Cheers!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] technoglitz87:
This case will make the n5 look exactly like a fruit...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 0rigin:
Ugly like hell.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krabman:
Couple thoughts... Square cases almost invariable hold less well in the hand than one where at least the outside edges (back of the phone) are curved. Even a slight bit of a curve goes a long way toward making the phone palm easier, more comfortable to hold, and feel smaller. For instance I have a Dilex and a Neo for the N5 and the Dilex feels smaller in hand than the Neo even though it measures out slightly larger. Also while Aluminum may at first seem like it would offer good protection a phone is saved in a drop from two things, cushioning to help absorb (some) energy before it is transferred to the phone and then also transferring that energy that does reach the phone to a wider area so total energy transferred at any one point is lower. There is a reason why most case makers use a similar formula with a hard but not completely stiff outer shell combined with a rubber/neoprene/silicon inner shell on cases that are designed for protection.

Course if you are after looks and this is working for you then its a win but if you want protection you might want to do some more research.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] coolboy6332:
To me, the volume buttons resemble an iPhone which can be be either good or bad depending on the style you are going for

The GPRS connect is OK during the call since I'm able to connect to the net .

Is this a problem with the hardware not able to keep both ends of the GPRS dialogue open, or is this a software issue?

Anyone with the same problem? Thanks for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Proxy638:
When on download mode it says write protection enabled.....

its not letting me flash an AT&T or Tmobile modem either and I suspect that it is related to the write protection being enabled, Is it possible to disable said write protection? I've searched all over XDA and all I keep getting is some safestrap recovery nonsense
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
First of all. why are you trying to flash a ATT or T-mobile módem m
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Write protection enabled has nothing to do with the bootloader being locked. It says that on every phone. The reason why it fails is those modems aren't compatible with our phone. If you are trying to use your phone on those networks you have to unlock your sim slot and change the apn.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Proxy638:
the point is that I want to enable 4G on those frequencies.

If I'm not wrong they should be compatible but for they are being blocked off by software means?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Your wrong, the Sprint S4 does not have those LTE frequencies. You can only receive LTE on the frequencies that the Sprint S4 supports and it doesn't support the AT&T, Tmobile, or Verizon LTE frequencies. If you are going to use the Sprint S4 on those networks you will only get 3g, edge, or maybe HSPA+ if you have the right APNs installed. If you want to use LTE on those networks you should buy a phone for those networks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Proxy638:
i'm not looking towards using it on sprint, i'm looking towards activating at&t 4G for use on a at&t network or international 4G for use on an international

there shouldn't be a requirement for buying a new phone when the only main differences are software.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
There are to many hardware differences to mention between the Sprint CDMA S4 and the GSM/international version. The main thing being is the SPH-L720 does not include the hardware to receive the LTE frequencies that AT&T uses and the rest of the world. Sprint never spend the money on extra hardware. In fact, the Sprint S4 isn't even compatible with half of Sprint's LTE network. It isn't a software problem, the hardware is not there. Be happy with 3g or buy an AT&T phone!
