[General Questions and Answers] playerjunglejosh:
Well actually what I'm referring to would have to be done by Google.

Here's why, locked bootloaders, encrypted boot loaders, etc.

The developer community could make such a program, but it's going to need root to be able to do what I'm referring to.

Google would have to make the OEMs use a standard, so that it could be accomplished without exposing there software. This would probably mean our backups would have to be encrypted on a per Google account basis.

It's not an impossible feat.

1) It would simply require Google to make the standard, and ensure that it's enforced. Ignoring it would mean no Google services, which to most is a huge negative.

2) Google release the program.

3) OEM would need to ensure compliance with said program, and submit software drivers to Google, or simply distribute them via there website( as they do now). Preferably submitting them to Google.

4) Making backups would become so much easier, especially for the average joe
[General Questions and Answers] playerjunglejosh:
One big problem with this is the syncing of app data. I don't want to have to restart my games every time I get a different device( especially a replacement device that is the same model as my prior device).

Another thing, I keep an electronic checkbook, and would be thrilled if I could keep that app data from here on out, even when I change devices. However this definitely something I don't want Google's prying eyes on. So only local backup, which makes the complete backup via pc even more vital.

Maybe since businesses are the next aim, they will implement this feature because it can be vital certain data be absolutely private, but still have backups.

Hi guys...

As I've got many requests for Stock themes with only few MODa in them...here they are...

Using stock themes only Air theme will offer you to choose LiveWallpaper...

But now, you can do that will all themes...

(of course, you can set manually LW in sny theme but this is convenient...)

1. XPERIA AIR

DOWNLOAD

XperiaAir

- with live wallpaper -

2. XPERIA ORANGE

DOWNLOAD

OrangeTheme

- with live wallpaper -

3. XPERIA GREEN

DOWNLOAD

GreenTheme

- with live wallpaper -

4. XPERIA PINK

DOWNLOAD

PinkTheme

- with live wallpaper -

5. XPERIA VINTAGE

DOWNLOAD

XperiaVintage

- with live wallpaper -

CHANGED:

Every theme will now offer would you like to use live wallpaper (stock themes won't)

Navigation bar icons

Names - themes won't overwrite your stock themes

INSTRUCTIONS:

Download

Install like any other app

THIS THEMES WON'T OVERWRITE STOCK THEMES

MINIMAL REQUIREMENTS:

1. DEODEXED ROM

2. FIRMWARE 14.3.A.0.681

3. SUPER USER MOD (patched services.jar)

4. Xperia Xposed - fantastic Xposed module by [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] (use this MOD to have quick settings in theme color)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] sheksbear:
Hey I am unable to get the Home <xperia icon> and the back and running ap icons as shown above i am still getting the default stock yet...:(
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
This is for KitKat....

It could work on 4.3 but you could experince worng icons in soome part or Live Paper errors...

If you are using 681 firmware (of course - deodexed and with patched servisec.jar) and latest Home launcher everything will work.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] sheksbear:
i am already on 4.4.2 rooted deodexed
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
All themes are working...

Please...don't turn this thread into Q&A...

All instructions are in OP and themes are working 100%

Home isn't modified at all (read OP) so it can't change app drawer icon - it's icon from your Home.apk
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
All themes are uploaded again.

Tested - and they are 100% working...

Please read OP to get picture what kind of themes these themes are...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregou:
My quick settings icons are not blue with xperia air theme.... :( i'm on 4.4.2 stock deodexed with superuser mod and services.jar

Any idea ?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Of course they are not blue..if you are using stock settings.

Use serajr Xperia Xposed and check this option...

Then you'll have blue, yellow, red or whichever color you want ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] mnsk:
Is live wallpaper on lockscreen also working like in stock Xperia Air? (only with swipe to unlock)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Yes...as I said...

Haven't worked on that...

I'm using swipe so - it's first time I heard it's not working on patern or pin...

But yeah...LW is only on swipe unlocking...

I'll check could I do something and maybe to add LW on others tipe of lock screen..
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] gregou:
Thanks a lot !! It worked like a charm ! ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] pisti7204:
Great themes, [MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION], exactly what I was looking for! :D

You are the best themer for our Xperias, thank you! :good:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Tnx mate...it's nice when someone actually appreciate your work...

We are all working because of people like you, not for money or prestige ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
I'll make all those themes with different navigation bar icons.

Next one is KitKat icons (nexus).

If anyone have any idea or maybe icons that would like to see in this or my other themes - just say/write/post (only for nav bar icons, this will stay strictly stock, no Home, Phone, Conversion, Settings or any other changes) ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] anakdayak:
[MENTION=323273]funky[/MENTION]..Just happen to see ur stock modded themes.Agreed that u are amongst the best themers and helping us to get the most beautiful themes on our devices.Great work mate.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Tnx guys...

I'm certainly not the best, just check what serajr do but frankly - I don't even know why he has "only" RT title.

He's a bloody wizard ;)

But...

Thank you all, that's very nice ;)
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] serajr:
Nice words bro... but, We are!!!

And for me titles are only titles, nothing else, and my RT title came from others people indications. And If one day you see RD there, know that I did not move a finger for that!!

What really metters here (my opinion) is: knowledge exchange!!
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Giorgi Bzarashvili:
thanks i install on my xperia s
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
On XS?

Hmm...I didn't add xhdpi assets (for 4.3' screen) so I doubt it'll work right.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qatra:
Hey guys,

I just wanted to update from 2.24.401.8 to 3.62.401.1 OTA didn't work ... always crashed @ 1/3 in the recovery

I thought maybe a factory reset can fix it... same problem

well I tried to downgrade to 1.29.401.13 with a CWM Nandroid-Backup

I used this guide:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitungen-fuer-htc-one-m7/437192-anleitung-zurueck-zu-stock-nandroid-backup.html it's in german...

There something went wrong. After installing the boot.img nothing worked anymore.

Black Screen and no reaction to anything. Just when I hit the power button it vibrates .

Now the battery is finished and I tried again and I could enter the cwm recovery for a very short time but the screen always goes black again. And the bat is not charging.

I managed to enter the option adb sideload in cwm now but the pc doesn't recognize the phone :(

It seems that I only can boot into cwm ... no bootloader no fastboot nothing

The device is/was unlocked S-ON

Help please

As usual Download Link will be on the First Page Post#2
[Micromax A116] walker60:
Can this GPU OC patch also work on other MT6589 device like C4 ?
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
do it only if you don't love your phone :p :p
[Micromax A116] CatZephyr:
Finally Camera working for old hardware but phone lagging with cfq + hotplug working fine with conservative and GPU OC patch reduce my nenamark score
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
You need to reduce the CPU Freq. from 1.5Ghz to 1.2Ghz and flash the kernel again for restoring the GPU OC
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
For all those who are facing Lags just reduce the CPU Freq. from 1.5Ghz to 1.2Ghz and everything will be fine ;)
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
guneet thank u very much for ur awsm work. i jst want to ask a question , any chance of overclocking new hardware gpu ?

u r doing grt job for our device thanks
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
No no luck

Actually i really don't know how GPU OC even works on some OLD phones as the same thing is not working on many other same MT6589 Devices so you guys are very lucky :p
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
:D . hmmm. lucky guys.... now its proved that developing for a mtk device is painfull :D
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
even more painful when you don't have any MT6589 device :p
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
Yeah bro. U did a grt job. Because of people like u i didnt sell this phone n m waiting for the day when chd users will have a stable cm or omni. Thanks :D
[Micromax A116] deeplyyoung:
Wow surely gonna give a try. Just one Question, shud I need to flash GPU OC PATCH or It's better to use it w/o patch, without lag n will get performance too?

And is it gonna work in KK too? As u must be aware that A210 got test KK Update....
[Micromax A116] hitcher69:
Following your job from ver002, and it's a real pleasure, it's give a new life!

Kernel nbr 5 is working fine for me, camera is now ok and I've patched the GPU OC... wait'n see now!

Thanks for all bro! :good:
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
IF GPU OC works then do post a Screenshot of Nenamark 2 and Antutu :)

Yeah now this kernel is KK compatible ;) but you need to repack the boot.img with CM11 ramdisk
[Micromax A116] darshan dazzGeEk:
good work bro. hopping that battery drop will b fixed... its smooth now :p
[Micromax A116] userprince:
Nothing Special!

Review of V5 with GPU OC :

1. GPU OC works as i have old hardware 58+ fps on nenamark2

2. I dont see better colors but i do see those on kash kernel.

3. I think cam AF is not working well need to check in depth.

4. Why you added 1.5Ghz OC when it don't work it makes the phone lag i lowered it to 1.2Ghz

EDIT: Updated Review

1. I reboot the device now colors are vivid and have more depth.

2. Cam AF is working normally.

3. For battery i will report tommorow.

Overall Good kernel :)
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
I already mentioned to lower the CPU Freq. to remove lags and from next version i will remove GPU OC as it is of no use and cause unecessary confusion to the users :p
[Micromax A116] deeplyyoung:
Flashed only kernel till now. Camera working but feeling lag...let's use it for sometime n chk
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
you need to lower the CPU Freq. please read all the posts i write on the thread to stay away from any type of trouble
[Micromax A116] deeplyyoung:
CPU Freq. is already at 1.209GHz, well i already mentioned lemme use it for some time to make it stable...but i can say u did what u said....keep it cmg..:good::good:
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
I m on version 5 n camera is light greenish. I have new hardware. V4 is best for me. .

Btw thanks for ur hardwork:D
[Micromax A116] userprince:
No! Dont disable GPU OC in next version :crying: rather disable CPU OC 1.5Ghz as it don't work ;)
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
Already started working on 006 and that gonna be a massive update as i am now doing very big patches and modifying the source to great extent :D

Just wait and watch :D
[Micromax A116] deepesh.tickoo:
[MENTION=4540743]Prince Chandela[/MENTION] buddy can you mention your hw and sw version written below the battery?
[Micromax A116] smustafasms:
Thanks bro. in V5 camera is light green insteed of dark green. Hope u will solve this issue in next update. Thanks :D
[Micromax A116] darshan dazzGeEk:
waiting for 006 bro..all d best
[Micromax A116] hitcher69:
Just come back after many tests... you're right bro...:( for results 003r is the betest one for me with no green camera. OC on GPU and CPU don't give any improvement.

So yet, staying on this one for me... wainting for next update! a real challenge for you;)
[Micromax A116] Dr-Shadow:
Hi Guneet, be carefull, you have GPL issues on your repo !

You are missing some directories here : https://github.com/GuneetAtwal/kernel_a210/tree/master/mediatek

[Micromax A116] leo.riv:
GPU OVERCLOCK for old hardware Device hangs randomly anytime and then i have to pull out the battery.
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
Ahh i knew someone will come and tell me :p

Did that for some days only as i need to cherry pick some commits and to do that i needed same kernel structure btw Varun also did the same and i don't think so that my kernel has any GPL Issues as the Linux part of the kernel is there only MTK which is proprietary thing is not needed
[Micromax A116] Dr-Shadow:
You are wrong because we are not able to compile this kernel without mediatek directories

GPL is "provide all source and scripts needed" to compile kernel
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
As i said it is just temporary i will add mtk drivers soon ;)
[Micromax A116] Dr-Shadow:
I was just warning you ;)

Btw, varun did this but me too because I thought it was ok (because varun did !)
[Micromax A116] RohanKalra97:
Phone hangs a lot

Hw ver 1.0

OK download & flash report soon
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
did it reach boot animation or just stuck at bootlogo ?
[Micromax A116] GroovyG:
Just stuck at bootlogo, and it was flickering in a really weird way.
[Micromax A116] deeplyyoung:
Tq Bro, but i can't test it rite now, shifted to another Rom & trying to get KK, so will wait for stable bugless version by u.....:good::good::good:
[Micromax A116] GuneetAtwal:
Ok thanks i will push a new version soon
[Micromax A116] leo.riv:
Just stuck at boot logo
[Micromax A116] varun.chitre15:
Well as far as I remember, the mediatek directory was symlinked.

kernel_dir/mediatek --> ../mediatek and same for others. I broke those symbolic links and integrated it in the kernel directory.

So as far as you do it, it isn't any violation. I prefer this as its convenient in merging up the patches without having to deal with conflicts.

P. S: Nice to see progress being made in original development
[Micromax A116] userprince:
Feature Request!

Hi [MENTION=4884121]GuneetAtwal[/MENTION] ,

Can you do something that can make the Device boot without battery or use the phone without battery.
[Micromax A116] Dr-Shadow:
Ok, so explain me why manufacturers have to include mediatek directories and not you ?

I'm saying that if you distribute a kernel in binary form, you have to provide full source + build scripts (included mediatek directories mediatek/custom mediatek/config mediatek/build) and a symlink is not enough because we can't compile the kernel as is.
