Ok fellow MoPhos...here's our first Boot Animation & Screen thread.
I'm gonna be whippin some up over the next few days...enjoy!!
Must Be Rooted
There are Two Methods for Doing This
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation (if it's not already)
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation (might be a good idea to rename stock one to bootanimation.zip.bak...just to have a backup)
4. Set permissions for the new bootanimation.zip (long press the file, choose permissions...then set it to match the backup exactly)
5. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
0. might be a good idea to rename stock one to bootanimation.zip.bak...just to have a backup...see above)
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot

Need to have your system set to RW (Read - Write). I've found THE easiest way to modify things like this is to grab Root Explorer from the market. Easy as pie this route! Not sure, but ES File Explorer MIGHT allow you to do the same.
Other than that, I have yet to use ADB to mount as RW on this device. Might shoot Yay4juggs or mikeyinid a PM and see what ADB command they are using for that...if they have done so in their exploration.
mount the file system with
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

I use Absolute System Root tools to install my boots. Works pretty well. Plus comes with a decent amount of them preinstalled.
Thank you Sir Bandage. If i didn't brake the bank-o-me on the phone I would be happy to buy you a beer right now. But I will as soon.

Since /system is defined in fstab it isn't necessary to specify the block device... It can be done with:

I have a question. I have a boot animation and I just want to change some of the colors, but when I do and try to reload it It wont show. is there some kind of secret im missing.
I've made themes but never tried to mess with boot animations, any help would be greatly appreciated.

boot animation sound
Hi New to the photon 4G and rooting. I already rooted the Photon and want to install a boot animation. I already install the boot animation and it works perfect but I can not get the sound to work with animation. Is the photon capable of playing sound during animation. The animation I install is the one with the Killer-Droid-Destroys-Apple-boot-audio, it has the sound un a zip I have unzip in all the folder locations that I can think of. The only way I got the animation to work was to copy and paste to data\local. I have install the sound on the system\media, system\media\audio, in audio on all sub folders and at data\local folder. One thing I notices is the desc.text file has the following script:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
I tried to write one with the following:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
s SPC_animation_final.mp3
p 0 0 part1
I got the Idea from another boot sound for the same boot animation, but that one has a script that will not load or play:
It plays on the Touch 4G
540 960 200
p 1 0 part0
s bootfx.mp3
p 0 0 part1
I tried it with the all spacings and no luck, I am hoping that somebody guides me in the right direction, or Am I out of Luck and the Photon will not play boot animation sounds.
Thanks for any help or advice.
Thank you for this! Very cool stuff! Got rid of that nasty Sprint animation Can't wait to see if more come along!
Here is one I built a while back and modded to use on Photon with multiple sounds (was curious if that was possible).
Also, the resolution is a little smaller than our screens since I made it for an older phone and because of that it doesn't fill up the screen on the Photon...maybe I'll redo it someday...
Use usual placement...bootanimation.zip in system/media and the 3 mp3 files in the mp3 files.zip go to system/media/audio/notifications.
Pic is sample of one frame in animation...

Haha, that's awesome. Played the sounds on my computer. While the first sound doesn't go with the LCars interface, the other two are pretty cool.

Added this boot animation to my phone.

Yeah the default input one. Will you use SushiInputBlack? I have read in a thread in this forum that SushiInput Black creates some problems on installation and refuses to work smoothly at the first instance.
@parthabhatta bro if u use adb method then i can promise that the installation will go smoothly just do the right steps in the installation part in 1st post .... @ request uploaded....enjoy....
bricked my x10 mini pro... after last command the phone started to restart and now it doesn't go past the "SONY ERICSSON" screen and doesn't turn on.. any solutions?
do u see the sony ericsson with logo or without logo?? means u passed the animation or not??? when u do this framework it will take more time then the normal reboot about 2-3 min.
How can I get, JUST your lock screen?

Thank's!
All credits go to pulpoff2 for this! This is not by me, I am merely the messenger. Only thing I did was to ask pulpoff for the files and a tutorial With his permission I will share it with you.
This will provide you with a fresh and unmodified 2.1-system, exactly like you would do the official update - only exception is that it is rooted. So all the apps and games of the official firmware are available and nothing else. You can remove the crap (like the games or timescape for example) by yourself after doing the steps below.
UPDATE:
There is a newer ROM by propc you can use instead of this one. Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888427
-- NEW --
propc kindly provides us with a shellscript to automate the steps below. See here for the script and a short manual:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10067921&postcount=120
If the script doesn't work for you or you prefer to do things the manual way, you may use the steps below.
Download these files:
x8-2.1rooted.img.yaffs.rar
and
ISO-8859-1__unyaffs-arm.rar
Also download the 2.1-firmware from here or here. Unpack it on your computer and delete the "system.sin".
Unpack "x8rooted.img", "busybox" and "unyaffs" to SDcard.
You need 1.6 with root on your phone. By the way, all the data on your phone will be lost after doing the following steps, so making a backup is advised.
Use "adb shell" to connect to your phone and become su:
Code:
su
Copy "busybox" and "unyaffs" to /data/local/tmp. (Pulpoff says you should copy to /sbin, but this requires remounting with busybox. I copied to /sbin, but I think /data/local/tmp should work just fine)
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
cat /sdcard/busybox > busybox
cat /sdcard/unyaffs > unyaffs
chmod the files to make them executable:
Code:
chmod 755 busybox
chmod 755 unyaffs
EDIT: If you want to copy the files to /sbin (like pulpoff2 advises), you can do this OPTIONAL step:
EDIT2: It was confirmed that this is indeed not necessary!
Remount the root directory to make /sbin writable. Then copy the files over and change the working directory to /sbin:
Code:
[strike]
./busybox mount -o remount,rw /
./busybox cp -prf busybox /sbin/
./busybox cp -prf unyaffs /sbin/
cd /sbin[/strike]
Remount /system as writable:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
Switch to busybox shell:
Code:
./busybox sh
Remove /system (yes, really!). It's normal to get errors because of the "lost+found"-folders. Ignore the errors.
Code:
./busybox rm -r /system
Unpack pre-rooted image to system. It should output "end of image" if it finishes correctly.
Code:
./unyaffs /sdcard/x8rooted.img /system
Your phone won't boot anymore now and it will crash as soon as you try to use it - that's normal! Go to next step.
Just remove the battery and the usb-cable from the phone, then re-attach the battery. Flash 2.1-kernel (without system.sin !!) using the flasher-tool by Bin4ry. If the flasher gives you an error because of a missing "loader.sin" you can take this file from the 1.6-firmware. Refer to Bin4ry's thread to learn how to use his flasher and how to enter flash-mode on your phone.
The phone should now boot, although the first boot can take a little while. If you get into a boot-loop or you just see the white sony ericsson logo (not the green one after the animation) for several minutes, it probably didn't work and you have to start over again by flashing 1.6.
This was written as I remember how I did it by myself. It worked for me at first try! If it works for you, please click the thanks-button. It will make me feel better
After you have your nice rooted 2.1 you probably want to enable JIT for a nice performance boost.
But does it have root? Bad reading.

Absolutely. But no busybox. So if you plan to enable JIT, you have to copy busybox to /system/bin by yourself.

of course it is rooted.
now we know what to do with unyaffs.
2 things:
1. I've bought the phone with 1.6 android, but I was unable to root it with any method, then I've upgraded to 2.1 update 1. Is there any way to root it?
2. I have Hungarian language. Does it contain Hungarian language?

1: There is no way to directly root a phone with 2.1. You need to go back to 1.6, root it and then follow the above steps.
2: I guess so. As far as I know the firmware is the same for all countries.
Works like a charm! I removed the /system folder contents one by one though, using the method from the previous thread. Anyway, the first time I tried, unyaffs exited before extracting all the files (maybe the phone ran out of memory?). I didn't notice it and went on to flash the phone, ending up stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. So, make sure that unyaffs reports that it has reached the "end of image" before moving on to the next step!
Thanks!!

This has nothing to do with App2SD. Also the ROM gets loaded from internal flash, not from sdcard. The result is the same as with the official update, but with root.
If you want to have /data on sdcard, use the modified chargemon or neptun2's method.

You should still be in "/data/local/tmp" as the working directory (check with "pwd"-command). If you followed the steps correctly, you should have a working busybox-file in there. So just type "busybox sh". If it looks like it does nothing, it's all right

That's way too long, something isn't right there. To start over again you have to flash back to 1.6.
Ok I had not realised the superuser permissions was not popping up on my phone that's sorted now. I get to number 8 again and it said permission denied
It's really about time somebody made a simple, easy and straight forward guide for installing mik_os's clever touchscreen kernal patch thing. I'm not android genius and really struggled to install this having no knowledge of how androids really work inside. Trying to figure out how to install the much needed touchscreen fix was a disaster but I finally got it right.
Due to a lack of simple and easy to follow guides I have made this one to help out other beginners, who like me didn't receive the help they need despite hours of google searches.
WARNING: If you do something wrong, or if something breaks while you are following this guide, I'm not responsible for any of your actions. Do this at your own risk.
The files provided are not my work and I take NO credit for them. They were created by clever people to help our lives

Firstly this guide shows you how to root and then flash your phone with mik's fix. I'm not very good with androids but this worked and is pretty fault proof if you follow the steps. BEFORE BEGINNING MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FULL BATTERY!
1) Make sure you have Froyo 2.2. To check what version you have go to settings> about phone> android version. If you have 2.2.1 or something I really can't help you, do a bit of searching on how to downgrade. Explaining it will only complicate things if you are knew to androids like me.
2) Click this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328
3) Save it to your computer, plug your phone into the USB port and copy the newly downloaded file onto it(by enabling mass storage device thing on your phone) and just pasting it in there not in any folder.
4) On your phone open the android market, search for Astro file manager. Choose to install it(wait for download and install to complete).
5)Open Astro File manager and locate the file you downloaded (z4Root by RyanZa) using astro (it'll be in the sd folder on its own). Select z4Root and install it and run it after installing.
6) Choose to permanently root your phone(this voids your warranty btw). Let it do its stuff, your phone will restart and you will be a super user! win.
7)Next download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/uf752h914q0u228/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img.zip
and
http://www.mediafire.com/?45u0obd6pjj5twp
(Do not extract this file only the others)
and this
http://androidforums.com/attachment...ery-optimus-one-p500-thunderg-flash_image.zip and extract both of them into folders.
(thanks to getitnowmarketing for guidance at this point)
Next do one of the following two methods:
METHOD A(EASIER):
8)Download & install:
Google Chrome to phone(PC Google Chrome extension)
Google Chrome to phone(Phone app)
Terminal Emulator (Phone app)
9)Synchronize your Google account in Chrome to Phone(browser extension and phone app) and make a test by sending something to your phone(link,text).Make sure it's working.
10)After that open Terminal Emulator and type "su"(without quotes) and click yes when it's asking you for Superuser permission."#" will appear.

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
reboot recovery
12)Wait a bit and your mobile/phone will turn off, hold in the down volume key and the home key. Keep them held in for a bit when the LG logo comes up.
Skip to step 16!
OR:
METHOD B
8) Now download this: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r09-windows.zip (windows) or http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r09-linux_x86.tgz (linux) ,extract and install it.
9) Copy(with mass storage mode on) the FILES (and the one zip file that was downloaded from mediafire--> the other two things copied accross should not be zip files but instead individual files that have been extracted. ) to your SD card (not in any folder or anything, just in the main folder that opens when you open your SD card on your computer).
10) Turn off mass storage mode on your mobile (pull down the notification bar and click where it says USB Connected and make sure it is off).
11) Next go Settings>Applications>Development>Tick USB debugging (make sure it is on).
12) Next, on your computer press windows key + r, type cmd. Then type
cd <follwed by the address of the platform-tools folder in the sdk folder>
For example mine was (remember all lowercase):
c:\downloads\android-sdk_r08-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
so i typed :
cd c:\downloads\android-sdk_r08-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
13) A whole lot of writing should come up and stuff in the box you typing in (cmd prompt). Next type adb shell and then the word su. Your phone should ask if it should allow permission for super user, select allow or grant access or whatever it says on your phone.
14) Making progress. Next copy the following lines and go back into cmd prompt and right click in it and select paste. Do one line at a time into cmd prompt.
15)
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
[B][U](if it shouts at you here saying not found or something,ignore it)[/U][/B]
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
reboot recovery
Wait a bit and your mobile/phone will turn off, hold in the down volume key and the home key. Keep them held in for a bit when the LG logo comes up.
16) You may back up if you want at this point by going to backup/restore (scroll using volume key and select it using the key on the very left of your phone at the bottom in the front). Choose nandroid backup and let it do its business).
17) Next get back to the mainscreen and select flash zip from sdcard. Select signed_kernal.zip and choose to let it flash. Let it do its business, go to the mainscreen, click reboot system now and you done. Your phone should restart happily with a much less cpu intensive touch screen!
hope this guide helps someone who had the same troubles as me.
Feel free to inform me of anything I may of left out
good work but all the commands can be entered using terminal emulator on phone itself..
thanks
I would much rather just use my pc to type the commands cause I can copy paste them nicely and I trust my pc more

Well,from step 8 using Terminal Emulator and Chrome to phone.
8)Download & install:
Google Chrome to phone(PC Google Chrome extension)
Google Chrome to phone(Phone app)
Terminal Emulator (Phone app)
9)Synchronize your Google account in Chrome to Phone(browser extension and phone app) and make a test by sending something to your phone(link,text).Make sure it's working.
10)After that open Terminal Emulator and type "su"(without quotes) and click yes when it's asking you for Superuser permission."#" will appear.
11)From the commands list below copy every line (except red one) one by one and send it to phone.On phone paste all commands one by one,as you send them from Chrome, in Terminal Emulator.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
[COLOR="Red"][U](if it shouts at you here saying not found or something,ignore it)[/U][/COLOR]
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img
reboot recovery
12)Wait a bit and your mobile/phone will turn off, hold in the down volume key and the home key. Keep them held in for a bit when the LG logo comes up.
Skip to step 16!
You can update first post if you like it!
Nice...
What about WifiKeyboard? With this tool you can write on phone with keyboard on your PC. Also can be used for SMSs, emails, and so on.
even better and more easy to use copy/paste for emulator.
It works
Thank u for the tutorial. It really worked fine, using the wireless keyboard. 10x for the help and effort u put in this.
thanks for this tutorial.. it helped me a lot..
Actually I found easier with the sdk and windows dos terminal, but whatever ^^, this is a great guide, should have seen before
So are you sure this doesn't work in 2.2.1?
hey i was just wondering... since lg will be releasing gingerbread for the optimus one(p500), is there a way to be able to do this in the future with this setup? or have we given up all future updates from lg or otherwise for this custom kernel??
also i just got an error message when i copied in the first part of the terminal part. I comes up "cannot create /system/bin/flash_image: read-only file system"
Need help!!!
Edit: i found somewhere you had to type in the "mount" line before it all... and it seemed to have worked, hope i didn't break something :s
Edit 2: now i've run into another problem as your instructions seem to skip steps and information towards the end. this line in particaular:
17) Next get back to the mainscreen and select flash zip from sdcard. Select signed_kernal.zip and choose to let it flash. Let it do its business, go to the mainscreen, click reboot system now and you done. Your phone should restart happily with a much less cpu intensive touch screen!
Select flash zip? There is no flash zip anywhere mentioned besides here. could you please clarify or could anyone tell me what he means as im stuck on this part

03.30.2011 -=*[ working on automation of backup/install of the Boot Animation... ]*=-
!!COMPLETED!! see bottom of OP
i made a few Boot Animations to go with my GingerBlur'd phone if anyone is interested in them. they're nothing fancy, just something different to look at.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
GingerBlur-bootanimation-1.zip
GingerBlur-bootanimation-2.zip
GingerBlur-bootanimation-3.zip
you will need to rename the respective GingerBlur-bootanimation-x.zip to bootanimation.zip.
original design was by ZeliardM for the Eris. i made some changes for GingerBlur.
Installation Instructions:
The script that's run on your phone WILL back up your existing /system/media/bootanimation.zip file ONE time and that's it. As long as the backup (/system/media/bootanimation.zipORG) exists from then on, it will simply overwrite the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file each time you run the install. this script should work for any of the Boot Animations that you get your hands on as long as there is a bootanimation.zip file in the same directory as the batch and script file (explanation(s) below). you can always revert back to your original bootanimation.zip, but you'll need to do so manually using adb to copy the /system/media/bootanimation.zipORG -> /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Download your Boot Animation of choice from the above links
Download the zip file (GB-BootAni.zip) below containing the install .bat and .sh file.
unzip the GB-BootAni.zip file you downloaded (should create you a GB-BootAni directory)
place your downloaded Boot Animation zip file in the above directory and either rename it bootanimation.zip or copy the file to bootanimation.zip
run the GB-BootAni.bat and the rest should take care of itself.
Download GB-BootAni.zip (installation helper for the GingerBlur Boot Animations)
md5sum: f20838c2d293f181f1f2d5650f6e8f83
i welcome any and all feedback...good, bad or indifferent.
Looks good! I'm loving all the boot screen's that have come out so far, great work!
Looks nice, and how would you go about installing this to your phone? Asking b/c I've never done this before.

i'll try to post a script to facilitate things, but basically:
copy/rename the .zip file to bootanimation.zip
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp
adb shell
<the above is done from your windows/linux machine>
<here down is done on your phone>
$ su
# cp /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip /system/media
# rm /data/local/tmp/bootanimation.zip (optional)
# reboot
...sit back and watch the magic happen.

you have to have "root" access in order to write to /system/media/
itsonlym3, I'm trying to do this manually via adb. First, does it matter where we put the bootanimation.zip because when I insert adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp in the command terminal, I get a "cannot start bootanimation.zip: No such file or directory"
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here...

you know you can get it back, right? you'll have to revert back and what not, but you can still have your update and get your root back.

you need to issue the push (adb push) from your Winxx or Linux machine. if you've got adb in your path (which you probably do), then go into the directory where you downloaded the new bootanimation.zip and issue:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/tmp/
that better?
i'm kind of assuming there's a /data/local/tmp. hopefully i'm correct in my assumption....?
sorry, i'm working on a script to automate this, just been busy. :/
also, you should probably back up your existing bootanimation.zip file before overwriting it if you'd like to keep it. PM me and i'll walk you through it if you need help. i'll add manual instructions to the OP once i finish up the automated script.

That clears things up. I'm patient on you making a script, and good point on making a backup.

Even while using the script, the installer failed because of the data/local/temp not being found. Not sure how to find the path in order to see if bootanimation.zip is located in there.
Edit: when I type in %temp% in the start - search, it pops up my local temp files, but there is nothing in that folder?? I'm using Chrome as a browser if that makes a difference.

/data/local/tmp is a path on your phone.
you should take whichever Boot Animation file you would like to use, copy it to the directory where you unzipped the installer and name it: bootanimation.zip
then while in that directory, you should run GB-BootAni.bat file and it should do the rest for you.
first off, when you get to a command line on your PC and type:
adb devices
does it return return/display something like this:
List of devices attached
TB30607H83 device
Stupid me!! I named the zip as bootanimation.zip so it read "bootanimation.zip.zip" so that is why it never worked. The new bootanimation works perfectly after I figured out my error

you should be able to put it anywhere on your machine, as long as you have adb.exe in your path somewhere. i didn't add it to the zip file, but i suppose i could.
is that what you were asking?
Yep didn't do the adb part, I got creative and made my own animation by combining the peking droid and honeycomb takeover then figured out how to install it manually

Hey guys,
I know A LOT of the new users want to use mods and theme things now that they are newly rooted on ND7 4.4.2. So I was trying to think of a way to make it easier to do so, one being deodex. For us who are unlocked, we develop and theme mostly on deodex system's. So lets get to the guide.. This will make all your apps in system/app and system/priv-app Deodex, therefore you can theme them and head over to my Mods Thread and take advantage of them!
Prerequisites:
PC
Android SDK and/or ADB
USB cable
Patience
First make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your device (Go into About Device in Settings, Find Build Number, Hit it 8 times until you unlock developer settings. Go into Developer Settings..Scroll down.. Enable USB debugging) Let make sure ADB is setup correctly and working.. Open a cmd prompt where you installed ADB (If SDK it should be C:\SDK\platform-tools\) type:
Code:
adb devices
Your return should look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If it does NOT look like this you need to either enable USB debugging, Grant the PC access to the phone or look up some guides on getting ADB started.
So once we know ADB works, lets download the zip I provided with the apps. These are pulled straight from ND7 Stock tar and Deodex by me, there should be no issues. I want you to extract them to your PC. Now lets make some folders on your internal sdcard(Use a root explorer/file explorer):
Folder names:
deodex_app
deodex_priv-app
Once you made the folders go ahead and copy the apps in their correct directory. App goes in deodex_app and Priv-app goes into deodex_priv-app.
When this is finished its time to start the ADB commands..
So we should already have our device connected and adb working with the return device serial number. Lets execute some cmds. After each line hit ENTER:
Code:
adb shell
su ([COLOR="Red"]MAKE SURE YOU GRANT SU PERMISSON!![/COLOR])
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/deodex_app/* /system/app/
rm /system/app/*.odex
cp /sdcard/deodex_priv-app/* /system/priv-app/
rm /system/priv-app/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
exit
exit
adb reboot
**BE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR COMMANDS...SPELLING AND SPACES ETC..
Once rebooted your device should update all apps..You should be Deodex and ready to do whatever your heart desires!!
Happy Theming! Any ?'s just post and ask! Want to learn how to Theme??? Head to this THREAD!!
PS: You want frameworks as well? Do this:
Download this zip, extract it, make a folder on your sdcard: deodex_frame. Copy unzipped contents to that new folder. Start ADB:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/
cp /sdcard/deodex_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/
exit
exit
adb reboot
Should update and be good to go! Enjoy!
@KennyG123 would mind making this sticky?? THANKS!
awesome, I've been using wanam xposed and love the outcome however there are still a few system ui errors. gonna try this and see what I get.

Only thing I did different was created folders on internal storage on pc instead of using root browser on phone.
Nice write up lacoursiere18, worked like a charm. :good: thanks for the deodexed files
got the apps and priv-apps deodexed fine but, when I get to the part for framework the copy goes fine but when I do rm /system/app/*.odex it fails and says no .odex found. Should it be rm /system/framework/*.odex ??? Seems to have worked, don't see any odex files. Thanks for the write up!
