Hi!
I am trying to put everything I like on a stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 rom.
I done some usual tweaks in Stock rom:
- Rooted
- xRecovery
- JIT
- dualtouch
- undervolted
- hacked market
- removed junk apk
- added my own favorite apk
The only thing I see in other custom ROMs that I would like to have but i dont find, is that Reboot Menu, on Power Menu.
How can that be done?
I searched and found it used in many roms, but I did not found out how to do it.
Tks in advance
EDIT: I have just changed topic name. I would like to know if anyone can send me default framework with reboot options.
Themes and apps section has is in I believe

Yes, I use the black htc theme with my mini pro and it has the reboot option.
I did not find the 2.1.a.0.6 default theme with reboot menu.
I could do it myself. I just need to be pointed in the right way
tks for your replies
i would also add speed tweak for sd card
+1 to this. I would also want to know how to do this. I'm guessing it has to do with a modded framework_res.apk?

and what hack is that?
could you link me on the correct topic?
EDIT: What else could I do to my stock ROM? I like to do it myself
And what are the battery improvements that are supposed to be done in custom ROMs?
EDIT2: Found this topic. Looks hard enough!

Thanks! I've been looking for a thread like that! You could go about learning this by comparing the stock ROM framework_res.apk with the custom ROM's. I've been using apk_manager [link] for a while now, and it's actually quite easy to use. Learned a lot in the process also.
I have changed the topic to make this a Request:
Anyone has the framework needed to 2.1.1.A.0.6 with reboot menu?
Tks.

While no one has sent you that, I just remembered, there are a couple of widgets that can do this like SwitchPro Widget (I remember using this on the stock ROM to reboot).

I have SwitchPro installed but It does not have hability to reboot to xrecovery
Oops. My bad. Thought you just wanted reboot and not reboot to xrec.
I might just add that I personally wouldn't really enjoy using a workaround.
What I mean by this is that it would be amazing if the menu opened by the power button would have more options like on custom ROMs, such as
Power Off
Reboot
Reboot to xRecovery
Anyone could do this please. Who usually makes themes to custon roms?

How to get BLACK Notification Bar for the Motorola Defy(Official Froyo 2.2) in the Simplest way?
Is it possible to apply the Black bar in the simplest way without installing/using custom roms like CM7 or MIUI or flashing anytheme roms?
i very much want a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar(if possible) ,but i dont know how?
is using metamorph & a spl theme the easiest way to install black status/notification bar?...if yes,plz tell me the correct procedure!
i am currently on official Indian Froyo 2.2 from Motorola & am quite happy with everything & dont want to install other roms! (also i find the installation process complicated & risky), except a Black or Best-a "Transparent" Notification Bar!
Can u experts tell me in the simplest way how to do it,(step by step if possible), how to achieve what i'm seeking?
I'm just a common noob!....reply & help me plz!
*btw, my defy is rooted !
TIA!
I think that the only way is to flash a ROM with black bar.
And transparent status bar isn't possible.
I recommend that you flash CM7.
No other replies...some alternative method of achieving Black status bar other than flashing custom roms?....i dont want to flash other roms..i'm happy with froyo 2.2,except the status bar which i want to be black coloured or transparent!
May be not directly answer your question,
but you can use some luancher that can HIDE the notification bar.
So yau can still use official froyo and no notification bar on the top of the screen.
Already doing that!... but i seriously thought black status bar could be at least possible on a froyo defy,w/o flashing any custom roms!...but i'm getting no lead to that!
current h.s w/o Statusbar
can use go launcher. there is an option to hide the bar
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
I'm not too sure, but I think the black bar is possible only on android 2.3.0 or later. Sure is possible do it on any rom, but you will have to edit the source of the rom, compile it again and flash it, so its more easy you flash a 2.3.x rom than put the black bar on your rom w/o flash it again (to not say impossible).

in cm7 you can use themes which have a black or a transparent Status bar.I think it's not possible to get a different status bar in Stockroms!

you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867692 theme with metamorph.
just download the. zip file from the link + metamorph from the Marked. Then open metamorph and select unzip/extract new theme and choose your downloadet zip.
if you want back to stock, just download the other zip and apply
it.

Thanks Friend for trying to help me out, & it would have been perfect solution for me, except that there r lot of problems with it,particularly clock as found by various users,..morever i'm NOT sure if it's for 2.1 or 2.2 ?...i allmost halfbricked my defy by installing a wrong theme under metamorph!
Sorry to say, but if you want a black bar, lose this fear of install a rom or give up from this ideia. All this have risk of brick. You start of play with it will ensure you to solve any problem after. If you install a wrong zip from metamorph on your rom, you will have to install a rom our lose much more. Install the titanium backup. Make the backup of everything and try a new rom.the risk of you brick your phone trying to put the black bar without change your android version is much bigger than just put a cm7, for example. Get the FAQ on dev section of how install the cm7 or ginger with motoblur. Read it well and do exactly how it say. Will be faster and easier than how are you trying.

other than of just the fear of bricking the phone,....i have the fear that Cm7 or miui are still half baked products with bugs here & there...,example.wifi will not work/ cause problem(i have NO data plans & completely dependent upon wifi) or camera will not work properly etc,etc. i still feel that for stability purpose with everything running properly,stock roms r the best!

Seriously you think stock is the best.... well I just flashed for the first time and used CM 7 RC 1 and I was delighted to see an almost 2x increase in my GPRS/Edge 2G speed almost instantaneously. On my stock 2.2.2 Froyo.... it was cr$p
^^ have u any Negative experience with working/using the wifi & also about camera on defy after updating to cm7?...i hear many ppls facing problems on those issues. So,i'm asking u, if u can give me a Honest answer?...also can u tell me ,why it is called Cm7 RC1(Release Candidate1)?...why are not they final yet..if they r just perfect?
I don't have any problems with camera on my green lents defy. I just don't have a way yet to make a video with 720p, and this you don't have with stock too. Out you have a red lent, you can do it. Its not a final version 'cause they still trying a way to put 720p on green yet and others little things. It get a final version just when the group of cm past to support the device (hard without unlocked bootloader).
All that you have on the stock I have on cm7, much faster by the way. And you don't have a clock on demand like us, cannot change your lock screen by free without a ads or a strange bug that I fold when I tried do it on a stock. You cannot change your status bar or what you have on it and even get a transparent effect when slide it. And by the way, none about multitouth by default. And since I have used a custom rom,i had, the luck, of not see anymore a force close windows (much common when I was on 2.1 w/ blur). But is your choose. But with metamorph, you install a zip as you was installing a rom out paths of it. Any wrong file, and your rom can be corrupted. With this, or you do a backup of the rom or lost ask.
Do whatever you choose, but first install the titanium backup a do a backup of whatever you have. With this, whatever problem you have, you will can restore your apps and the data from them.

Since nobody else posted one, this is my attempt at an ICS theme for rooted stock Arc ROM.
The theme has been tested and is working on version 4.0.1.A.0.283 and 4.0.2.A.0.42, and reported working on .58, however as always, install it at your own risk.
MASSIVE thanks to XperienceD, we now have a working release 5 with CWM installer! I did almost nothing on this release, so all credit to XperienceD on getting this one out there!
Please note, this is a framework THEME file. For the launcher (including icons) and ICS style lock screen, use LauncherPro and Widget Locker. PLEASE don't post here complaining that it hasn't changed your launcher icons.
New in Release 5:
Volume/Progress bars now ICS style, thanks to XperienceD.
ICS boot animation added.
Easy ClockworkMod installer
How to install:
1. Download and install the SE Extreme Tweaker tool from HERE.
2. Following the instructions, install the ClockworkMod Recovery for your Arc.
3. Place the theme ZIP file somewhere on your SD card, root directory is always an easy one.
4. Reboot into CWM recovery by powering up and repeatedly pressing volume down.
5. TAKE A BACKUP! I am not responsible for bootloops so always take a backup just in case
5. Once backed up, select Install ZIP from SD Card, and chose ZIP to install.
6. Navigate to the theme ZIP file, select install, once installed, reboot.
7. Enjoy! (Hopefully)
Note: For the ICS style gradient background, apply the Onyx theme.
Anyway, hopefully this will work fine for everyone as it is.

I was thinking about this. Basically what has happened is I got hold of all the theme resources I could and began porting them over. I'm really REALLY new to this so I'm not familiar enough with how it works to feel comfortable doing a lot of XML editing so that would involve editing over 100 images, which I don't have time to do.
This leads me on to something I was going to say anyway. If someone more experienced than me at this wants to have a go at the battery without %, and also getting the volume/progress bars to the new ICS style then please do!
I can supply resources for the progress bars but I have no idea how to go about editing the XML so it reads from the images as opposed to just the colours.
Thanks

It can't be flashed via recovery, should have said that, sorry! Are you definitely moving framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk to Framework, and SystemUI.apk to the App folder?

Thats really weird, the other icons and most other things like that are stored in the SystemUI.apk, but there are resources scattered across all 3 files so it's weird that the status bar changes but nothing else does. Are all the other resources the stock Sony Ericsson ones?
yeah just stock firmware apart from dooms kernel

It may have something to do with using the Dooms Kernel? I don't know how the resources and framework are laid out on that, I've literally only tested it on completely stock firmware except for root.

the icons in the launcher should be changed by urself,
if u want to change the icons, u should use costum launcher (launcherPro, adw ex, goLauncher, etc) that can be themed ICS,
u can find the theme at market

I understand you. If you dont want to flash a rom and 'd stay on stock , you can modify your status bar manually(needs root and root explorer) Go to /system /app/System UI and press view. Go to /res/drawable-hdpi and you'll see all the image files, and you can change what you want

I think there wont be a pack only for the status bar, and if this exists, you must be deodoxed to install that.

You didn't give us any information to help you.
What ROM are you on? CM11, CM10.2, CyanFox, SlimKat, Stock Sense 4+, 5.0, 5.5 maybe, the list goes on and on.
All is tweakable on Viper, if you like sense ROMs. On the others, each one is different.
What did you expect with your vague question?

Well, if you like sense roms and your phone is rooted S-Off, I strongly recommend Viper 2.5.0.
It's based off 4.2.2 Sense 5.0 and everything can be tweaked, including but not limited to, the status bar icons.
Give it a try. I think you'll like it. :good:
S -off is Off. I'll give DNA a shot

What icons are you looking to change? You could simply pull SystemUI.apk from your device, swap in the new icon images (using something like 7zip) and replace it back on your device. No need to flash an entire new rom

Installing a whole new rom is going to be easier and safer than modifying files of your current rom
This is true but being a novice I can't seem to get it right. Soft brick phone and have to restore back up. Tried Viper Rom and I don't know if its normal but take about 1 + minute to boot up. When I 1st did it it got stuck on the boot screen. Some how got out of there. Did a complete wipe and yet all my previous files were on folder on the SD card named "O". None of my paid apps worked. I used Viper DNA 1.3.5. I wish there were better instructions for us dummies!!
