I think I'm one of the very few people that have the Neo. I couldn't really find any mod on it so I've compiled the mods myself.

and UOT kitchen for the battery icon - so I don't need those battery widgets to tell me how % I have left.
Requirements:
- rooted Neo (tested on MT15i, firmware .181)
- adb + busybox
Warning:
- I lost a few apps and the contact list is purged, a backup is highly recommended.
For CRT-animation only, you only need framework-res.apk
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk /sdcard/SystemUI.apk
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
# busybox cp -R /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
# sync
// this step might not be required - I didn't do this and it still works
# mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
# reboot
If this works for you, you can use the same framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk in the UOT kitchen to add more stuff to your liking to retain the CRT animation.
Wouldn't this be better going in the neo section as this is for arc threads

how to replace? by using metamorph? i did with root explorer and ended up with bricked x10 mini.
It's probably best to do it via ADB.
yes adb / shell is my favourite method
I use Root expl. only to rw mount /system partition.
How to do via adb?

0. Root !
1. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk
2. adb shell
3. su
4. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
5. mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-resORIG.apk
6. cat /sdcard/fr-black.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk
7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
8. sync
9. reboot
why cat and not mv/cp ? Because the file is created with "root" user and group and not "sdcard" group.
Means the framework file is first placed on sd card which i want to replace? Asking noob questions cause dnt want to install whole software again

Here, I'll try to explain what happens
1. adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/fr-black.apk
-copies "frarework-res.apk" from ADB's folder and moves it to the phone's SD card, names it "fr-black.apk"
2. adb shell
-opens the linux shell on the phone
3. su
-goes into superuser mode, i.e. runs apps as admin if you're familiar with windows terms
4. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
-remounts the /system folder on the phone so that it is read-write, allowing you to mess with the system files
5. mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-resORIG.apk
-backs up the default framework-res.apk from the phone by moving it to the SD card
6. cat /sdcard/fr-black.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-copies the fr-black.apk from the SD card and puts it in the old framework-res' place
7. chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-changes the user permissions for the new file

this is a link to a zipped anim folder you can replace by
This is no longer necessary unless you would rather use adb. there is a metamorph file attatched download that and put on the root of your sd and download metamorph from the market its free
Code:
adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then open up the res.apk with your choice archive manager. Replace the /framework-res.apk/res/anim folder with the one I've provided.
Reboot into recovery and
Code:
adb shell
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
#exit
adb push yoursdk/tools/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
I hope this makes sense and you guys like it

What would this work on?
Froyo can show arabic letters but they are not connected ,any APK to support Arabic letters and connect the letters together ?
thanx in advance
I second this...
Patch your system with Streakdroid 1.7
Copy framework.jar from system\framework
patch it using arabic scripter from ce4arab Add the new framework.jar on Streakdroid 1.7 zip file then do master reset and patch it again
copy libwebcore.so to lib ( you will get it from the same page)
you will get connected letters
Jattal, Have you got a link to the arabic scripter?
how do u patch?

I would just like to add that most people are getting "cp not found error"
use the following commands after rooting and installing busybox
NOTE: what you download from the market is busybox installer... you will have to run it and then install busybox
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
busybox rm /system/app/*.odex
busybox rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
sync
reboot
Hope this helps.

Can this be done via root explorer thanks.
Unfortunately it cannot because your device will shutdown on changing the files and it won't be able to boot. The reason why the above commands work is that they freeze your phone in current state while the files are copied and deleted.
However as some adb commands do not run on android 2.2, you need busybox.
Sorry for the late reply, but I wasn't available for a while.

hello man
does this method work for non rooted device
my device is still new
is there any other way for non rooted?
and please tell me what is the easiest way to root the device
thaaaaaank u sooooo much
regards
Ok I am on a rooted 345 us White dell streak.
I am trying to deodex. I have used the deo 1.2.1 deodexer in the xda forum thread for auto deodex 2.3.
I pulled all my apks and their odex files from the /system/app/ folder
and the jars and odex files from the /system/framework folder
I am trying to use adb to copy them from my sdcard to the correct folders, but when i reboot my phone hangs at the dell logo.
Hopefully someone can see what I am doing wrong.
I enter:
adb shell
su (then I allow permission on my phone)
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
cp /sdcard/doneapk/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/doneframework/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
reboot
what am i missing?
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
sync
reboot
also u can find them here as i done this to intgrade arabic to streak its in done_app & done_fram
my rom 345
http://hotfile.com/dl/110981641/4de9442/arabic_streak_345_15380_00.7z.html
bump..
can you guys post a quick guide with steps on how to do this? How hard is it to go back and edit files later like services.odex? if it doesn't exist anymore?
I have no idea what bump means......forum noob obviously.
But if you search auto deodex 2.3 in xda forums it is under droidx forums.
So I changed the mount command to yaffs2 /dev/bkock/mtdblock6 where theirs is different because from what I understand, that is the streaks mount command for mounting.
But I will try the other path and see if it works. I will keep you updated when I try it later.

Thank GOD for nandroid backup.
how exactly did you deodex your files? maybe thats what i am missing. Maybe the deodexed files i put in have an issue.
i used xUltimate-v2.2.2
and if u are 345 rom
u can use my files
also its take up to 10 min to load the phone

Whenever you edit services.odex you first doedex it...then you modify it...then you carefully and painfully re-odex it...with a deodexed file system you get rid of the first and last steps...
so it would be services.dex, you copy it to your pc, edit it, and send it back...quicker and easier modding

ok I am trying your files. I see you put sync as your last command after you remount. that differs than the droidx forum How to manually deodex thread.
what does sync do?
I got farther with your files than i have before. So maybe I might have some luck after all, but still stuck on a frozen boot animation
I have no idea what I did differently but I am now deodexed using the file provided above.
My phone is now a rooted and deodexed 345 build. Nice!
Here is zip with the stock 2.3.4 deodexed app/framework you can use this to deodex your phone or just to have for backup or whatever. This was taken from OTA update and deodexed myself using Xultimate. I did this to my phone to install my own eclipse type hack that still includes all stock blur components. I can also include that if you want but the phone has to be deodexed first.
Deodexed Files Zip...http://db.tt/1NQ4NCxX
Instructions to use this to deodex your phone...Must be Rooted.

Copy done_app and done_frame to sd-card then...
