[Android Software Development] FeraVolt:
Hello there. I decided to start this thread as a cool dude who wants to help users with legacy devices. I have a little experience in APK reverse-engineering, so I applied manuall optimization per some common apps and games listed here. I don't change anything in app itself - I don't modify code or graphics.

"Optimized" sounds good, but what did I exactly do:

Rebuild apps with latest available tools - apktool, smali/backsmali, etc.

Recompiled apps with GB framework - all apps and games listed here are compatible with GingerBread+ ROMs.

HDPI graphics optimization - removed all dublicate recources for non-HDPI resolution to make app more lighter.

Libs optimization - removed all libs exept for ARMv7.

PNG optimization - made all graphics lighter and less RAM hungry by using optipng.

UI animations speedup - speaks for itself.

Uncompressed resources - to not to waster your CPU time on apk compression.

APK zipalign - to decrease RAM consumption by 4-byte alligning of apk.

Removed secondary .dex files - which were developed for KitKat ART machine which we dont use, to make apk more lightweight.

Note:Some games were not uncompressed because of huge (100+mb) apk file size.

What about requirements? Well there are no any strict ones. Preferrable your device should be with HDPI display resolution (for ex. 480x850) and with ARMv7 CPU. Else. I signed all apks with opensource test-key so, most probably you won't be able to update such optimized app from market in future, but don't worry - just keep visiting this thread. I will try to provide weekly updates.

Q: Why apk is SO huge in weight?

A: Dude, read this thread again, I told ya that all apps are uncompressed.

Q: What if I need to use updated app from market?

A: Then simply remove optimized app and install ususal one or wait for update on this thread.

Q: Why there is no facebook in optimized app-list

A: There are several apps which I cannot recompile properly because of lack of the framework resources. This is kind of their security. Currently I can't do heavy-duty optimization on theese apps:

- YouTube

- Facebook

- Facebook messenger

- WhatsApp

- Skype

Q: Bro, this is awesome!

A: Feed me. :good:

Very Nice bro :good:

Can you optimized latest Chrome and Hangouts?
[Android Software Development] Dr Goodvibes:
Could the following be included if possible.

● ES File Explorer

● WiFi Analyser

● QuickPic

You may be creating a rod for your own back if these apps are updated with any rapidity. :eek:

That aside, thank you for all the effort you're putting into this.

Update:

Installed AnTuTu and Opera Mini and both installed fine.

On both of these applications, I uninstalled the Google Play Store version first before installing the optimized version.

I'm using an Xperia X10i with X10S v9 by Tof37 and DooMKernel.

Speedtest.net v2 is the best for GB 2.3 devices.

Used a few apps and they work well.

Now, here's a thing.

Google Play Store Speedtest.net version 3+

Android Speedtest (speedtest.net) has been upgraded to version 3.2.6 and since it moved to version 3+ it's never given accurate results.

It seems that Speedtest will work on 'modern' phones/OS as they have dual core/quad core. i.e. better CPUs than most GB 2.3.3 phones.

I have tested speedtest v2 on GB 2.3 (Xperia X10i) phone and it continually gives a good indication of the available bandwidth.

Speedtest v3 on the same phone normally only shows approx. half the true available bandwidth.

So if one could 'optimize' Speedtest v2 (I have v2.0.9) this restricts further upgrades and gives the best results.

I'm just asking cause I'm to slack to do it myself. :cowboy:

Thanks for your great work.

Hey guys,

Curious if anyone will spend the time to create a detailed step by step guide for all the people out there who have rooted and flashed roms to understand how to go back to complete stock with the ability to take OTA updates again. I have seen many people ask for this on the forums and have yet to see the same type of guide as seen on other samsung galaxy note mobile device threads on XDA. If I had the understanding to do this I would, but I do not want to steer people wrong. Thanks for whoever takes the time to post this info.

Please include US stock firmware link or file to download for flashing through ODIN!

Decent instructions, I have done these things. The question I have not seen anyone answer is why on every samsung firmware site, there is no official United States firmware for this device to flash in ODIN. They are all other countries. I have flashed the UK one before and it did not boot up. Had to go back to root and a rom to get it working again. I just wanted to set this tablet back to stock for a service request then root it when I get it back.

I've been digging the solid Android L Status Bar icons lately and think your theme here would look quite good with those. Maybe you could include them? Although I know I could also just install your theme here that doesn't touch the status bar icons right?

[G3 Themes and Apps] Ashrockr:
I'll try but my exams are heading up and hence it could take some time.

You could change the color color of message from Tweak Box and you'll retain speech bubbles if the theme is selected.

Hence you could get the blue color with blue speech bubbles. Also i've included simple white speech bubbles if you want some dark theme for message.

I'll add more speech bubbles and for status bar make sure you do a normal reboot and not a soft reboot.If persist post a screenshot.

I tried that but it didn't work. I trying installing the v2, v2.1, and the dialer one but it won't apply to the status bar. I just installed the v2.1 again and its showing up ad the shadow dialer for the settings UI as you can see below.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Ashrockr:
If apply to status bar implies having status bar icons then

Firstly remove v2,v2.1 or the dialer what you installed.

Now install v2.1 and you'll have the status bar icons.

Or you can just install v2.1 over that.

Correct me if i misunderstood something.
[G3 Themes and Apps] Pilz:
I tried uninstalling all of the themes and then only installing v2.1, but it won't apply to the status bar. It will only change my notifications menu. Could it be the firmware that I'm running, or is it just a bug?

To get solid status bar choose your theme for system ui and dialer in dialer theme option. Of course you can choose different themes for settings, dialer , lock screen, message and system ui.
