Dark Themed Apps / Deodex Patch

(same instructions as post 2, but you get (deodexed) dark themed system apps)

This is a full system patch (not just themed apps)

~ it can be flashed instead of post 2.

Credit [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] ~ thank him if you like this!

Here is the thread link for his mod

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53800682

Screenshots in the thread are from this set up!

Update: there have been a few reports of bootloops after flashing this. Until I have sorted it out please flash post 2 patch then the mod from [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] linked above. (confirmed method by [MENTION=3969490]dandyqb[/MENTION])

update [MENTION=5186369]appleknight[/MENTION] reports flashing [MENTION=2686480]jackie099[/MENTION] 108 kernel prior to the this dark deodex patch avoids bootload issues (probably a ric_kill related) - flashing it after he unthemed deodex also avoids any issues.

The region it is ROM?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Good question. As far as I can tell it is a unbranded generic euro lte (Italy) version going by the build prop cda# (1275.9426). I'm in Australia and haven't experienced any issues. I've updated OP with (suspected) region details.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] krumbs:
Thanks iBuzman!

Everything went off fine - the update, rooting and installation of recovery (incidentally, Chrome flags off a virus in the recovery installation zip).

Was hoping DT2W was included in this update... but looks like we will have to wait for a modified kernel for that.

Otherwise, have not noticed any other issues.

Btw, since you have been using this ROM a bit longer, has battery drain reduced?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Battery has been good for me considering my heavy usage today (all uploads and threads done from phone) - chrome didn't like the zip for me either - I trust Barry's / NUTs stuff so forced it anyway :cowboy:

How is it possible that I, living in Italy having a swapped-in-warranty C6833, could trigger an update for Malaysia?

I assure you I'm Italian, I bought my original Ultra from the UK and it got swapped in Italy under warranty with a brand new unit...

Edit: I checked the CDA topic and it appears that mine is customised Malaysian, but it seems strange I have it... Well, if it means I'll get updates faster than everyone else, that's good... :D

Any interest in a dark themed deodex patch? (eg. all framework apps).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] halifage:
I would be interested if I knew the difference between odex and deodex in the first place (sorry for the noobness) :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Without going into details, deodex files can be modded where odexed files are split into 2 files and are more difficult to mod (I'm noobish too, hence that description)

I'm uploading a themed version now :)

Still getting boot loop when I install this deodex patch. I can't figure out why. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ Sry mate, just woke up (6am Australia)

I'm not sure what may be causing bootloop. I've flashed both deodex patches twice without issue.

Can anyone else confirm flashing deodex without issues?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
[MENTION=5256140]dragonclif[/MENTION] I did flash supersu, just to be safe, after the first time I flashed a deodex (but didn't in subsequent flashes so thought it was not required) maybe try that? link to su --> https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0uD0ZLDjONjNkZ3UF9YQktBQ0U/edit?usp=docslist_api
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dragonclif:
Ok thanks I will try that. One thing of note: just after I flash the dark deodexed patch I get an error message stating that Google Play Newsstand has stopped. Then immediately after that is when the boot loop madness begins. It happens every time. I will get most of the way through a clean boot after installing the patch. I can even see that the patch is applied in system apps by taking a quick look at mult-tasking and seeing that it is now dark; but immediately after that, the message about Google Play Newstand stopping comes and freezes on the screen (with the choice to select ok or report) I have tried selecting either but it doesn't matter. The message remains stuck on the screen. So I reboot and that's when I get stuck in boot loop. I's driving me crazy. i am wondering i it is some kind of incompatibility with the Google Play Newsstand app that throws the entire thing out of wack :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
that is weird.. (just confirmed my news stand is ok) maybe try uninstalling newsstand beforehand and then reinstalling it from play afterwards? or clear data from news stand?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dragonclif:
I disabled Newstand and cleared it's data. Now the message does not appear but the same basic error occurs anyway. The device freezes, launcher, home screen, and everything else each time after I flash the dark deodexed patch. I have to reboot and then comes the boot loop again. I also tried your other suggestion and flashed supersu from the zip but that didn't make a difference either. Not sure what to do now. Still stuck with Boot loop after installing the dark deodexed patch. :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] appleknight:
works fine on my 6806 untill i flashed the dark patch, following ALL directions, just puts me in a boot loop :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dandyqb:
i also experienced boot loop with the dark deodex patch yesterday, but fine with the regular deodex patch and i just flashed the dark mod from Rajeev OP. :good:

BTW, same error with dragonclif, Google Play Newsstand FC then next is boot loop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dragonclif:
Crazy huh, [MENTION=5186369]appleknight[/MENTION]? At least I am not the only one with this problem. :crying: Driving me crazy trying to figure this out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dandyqb:

that's what i did and it's working fine now. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dragonclif:
hmmm.. I think I will do what you did dandyqb. nothing else is working. you are on the same ROM from the FTF contained in the OP, correct?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
thanks

I don't know what is happening - it worked for me; I will make a new dark deodex tonight and test it and replace if required.

Edit: thinking about the differences, the dark has a "performance centre app" that isn't in the normal deodex - it need su and probably xposed - I'll remove it. (I thought it a nice feature so left it in - and it works for me)

Until then I suggest those wanting themed version flash the Post 2 deodex patch then flash the mod from [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] thread as linked on Post 3. (Confimed as working method by [MENTION=3969490]dandyqb[/MENTION])

Sorry [MENTION=5256140]dragonclif[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5186369]appleknight[/MENTION] for your problems and frustration.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dandyqb:
yeah same FTF, it works to me the first time but i experienced a battery drain overnight so i reflashed again the following day and that's the time i experienced the boot loop after flashing the dark deodex patch, tried maybe 4 times but same result, so decided to try the regular deodex patch on post 2 then just flashed the dark mod from Rajeev's post. :good::good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dragonclif:
Cool. Trying it now. Thanks! :)

if u are so much worried, you can just eject your ext SD card and flash the ftf.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
So let me get this straight before I screw up my device - apologies for my lack of experience here! I'm currently running .757 firmware with tr1gg3r84's 4.4.4 rooted CandyKat.

It reads like I can just flash the deodex from post #2 over my current installation to be on .108 firmware and still be running rooted CandyKat - no need to FTF .108 itself, as such.

Is that correct, or have I got the wrong end of the stick completely? Appreciate any guidance available - thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
you can only flash post 2 once already on 108 - if you flash it over 757 you will have issues.

my instructions may be a little misleading - Post 2 will deodex your system "once you have upgraded to 108 via ftf flash"
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
Nope, just me not paying attention - post #1 does say "You can now flash the deodex patch in Post 2 or Post 3 if you would like", I missed that along the way.

No worries, thanks for steering me straight!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
what you could do is flash the FTF but:

untick data wipe

end

exclude system

exclude kernel

that should be the same as candykat => full .108 FTF => candykat

But as always have a nandroid in case it goes tits up
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] thepatman:
Thanks for the tip - did that, and it booted well enough, everything works. Except the camera - which is what I'm trying to fix. Still got to have the camera fix installed, and ix-nay on the Google camera from the Play store too. I'll try the hard way tomorrow, see if I can get better results.

I also seem to be a bit laggy overall, but that could just be me... or dirty flashing... or which way the wind blows :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dragonclif:
So everything is working well now. Installing the regular deodexed patch from post 2 and the original dark app pack separately did the trick for me. Thanks all. I Love the dark system apps and menus. Only problem I see is also on the in-call keyboard. The white numbers on the light gray background make the keys almost impossible to see. Other than that it's perfect. :good:

Guys if you can't get those apps to root all you need to do is Flash the stripped 108 kernel posted by Jackie099 and boot either CWM or TWRP and it'll ask you to Root whenever you choose to reboot to system. It will install the SuperSU Installer for you to root your device. Once you boot, just run the installer which will be in your APP Drawer and follow the instructions.
