I deserve zero credit. All the hard work was already done by the fellers at UOT.
Made with framework-res.apk + SystemUI.apk from CM7 Nightly #61 for Vibrant. Instructions in post 2. You are not allowed to download this .zip without reading and agreeing to everything in post 2.
Includes: (1) Segmented Circle Battery theme (2) Properly blacked out notification bar, (3) dark green overscroll glow, (4) flying transitions, (5) and dark green scrollbar

IF YOU MAKE ANY SIMILAR FILES VIA UOT, PLEASE UPLOAD THEM TO A HOST (OR LINK ME AND I'LL TRY MY BEST TO HOST THEM) AND THEN POST THEM HERE. This saves time, effort, and server resources for UOT. It also aggregates the links into 1 thread, making them more accessible.
Ok, decided to give the UOT (http://uot.dakra.lt/) a try. The website is a lot different than how it used to look a few months ago!
Battery theme is intended for black notification bars (you will not be able to see the white percentage atop a white notification bar!) includes the segmented circle battery and/or flying window animations, built on the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk of nightly 61. I have no idea whether or not it will work on 62+.
I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU AND STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO NOT FLASH IT. That being said, I hope it does work for you. Please back up your 'system/framework/framework-res.apk' and 'system/app/systemUI.apk' (just copy them and rename the copies as framework-res.apk.bak or something).
Make a nandroid backup in the all-too-likely case that everything goes awry. If you decide to ignore my warning against flashing this zip, you agree that I am in no way liable for anything at all. Whether it works or not, it has absolutely nothing to do with me and I will do nothing to assist you, nor am I obligated to do so.
I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, DO NOT FLASH THIS zip IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Instructions via UOT Kitchen
What to do with cooked zip file
Flash your downloaded file in recovery:
1. reboot into recovery.
*You should wipe your cache and Dalvik cache, but do not wipe data/factory reset* (added by OP)
2. choose "install zip from sdcard"
3. choose "choose zip from sdcard"
4. locate your file UOT-... .zip in SD
5. confirm "YES - install UOT ... .zip"
6. wait for script to finish

If you flashed new rom, boot up your phone first time
and after that reboot into recovery to flash UOT file.

Works good. Nightly #39.
EDIT: Confirmed that this also breaks the old TV-Turn off animation. Be aware.

Did you use the Segmented Battery theme + Flying Transitions? If so, I would suspect it's due to the flying Transitions. I don't personally use any screen-on/off animations or transitions, only window animations. I would suggest you use only the Segmented Battery Theme.
I only flashed it for the animations though, not interested in the theme or battery at all haha. I already have a battery mod with percentage. The animations were fun but now I have to fix that CRT thing, I love it and can't live without it.
EDIT: I am confirming that these flashes do NOT break the CRT animation. That was me doing something else apparently as when I did a factory reset and applied this, it works just fine. Can you make just the flying animations available as a flash?
I am also interested in a flying animation.zip

lol, I didn't plan on taking any requests, but I was in the same position that you guys are (i.e. no one making zips for my specific thematic preference).
Well, to minimize UOT's server usage, I'll take this request, but I usually won't. I'll have the zip in soon.
ALSO NOTE: Take the links in your second post (seg battery + flying animations down) as it's using the framework for nightly 40 which apparently is outdated in 47 now. It makes 46+ bootloop if used. The downloads in your first post are currently fine.
PS: Thx for flying animations!

The queue is almost always full during the daytime. This way, people don't HAVE to do it themselves and the UOT server gets a little more uptime.
does this compatible with nightly 55?
Just so you guys know, not all of these were made by me. The ones I didnt make I have tested on my nook too and they look very good. I have increased the resolution to improve quality on a few.
Hey guys, I just wanted to make an official thread so people can post boot animations they have and/or find, that look good on the nook color. Make sure your reply meets the following requirnment if you want to post an animation:
Have Either a short description (e.g. This is the stock nexus s boot animation in portarit format) or a picture or video to look at of the animation.
Other than those your free to post! Cheers!
*Note: Assume that everything on this page requires a rooted nook color. Also note that these files will need to be renamed to bootanimation.zip if you arent using a boot animation changer. I will also Update this thread from time to time to add more boot animations when I finish them. I also will take requests if you have an idea for one Ill give it a try (as long as its more or less appropriate). =P
*Disclaimer: As for this I think cwirl says it best. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Install Instructions:
If your using a boot animation changer you may skip these.
1. Plug your nook into your computer and (if you havent already, rename the file bootanimation.zip) place the bootanimation.zip file in the root of your SD card.
2. Using a root explorer (I suggest ES File Explorer) copy the bootanimation.zip file then switch to device storage and go to the file path; data>local or system>media (with system>media it will overwrite your current boot animation).
3. Paste the bootanimation.zip file in here and overwrite the current one.
4. Reboot and enjoy!
What Animations Are Pack #1?
1. Droid.zip: Similar to the droid Eye, but very different at the same time (my personal favorite).
2. ASUS eee pad Boot Animation.zip: Stcok asus transformer prime landscape.
3. Sony S Tablet Boot Animation.zip: Stock Sony S Tablet boot animation
4. android text.zip: Cool green android landscape text (its very hard to explain).
5. autobot blue.zip: Blue autobot symbol
6. autobot.zip: Red autobot symbol
7. decepticon.zip: Decepticon symbol
8. silverdecepticon.zip: Silver version of decepticon.
MORE ANIMATIONS COMING SOON TO A NOOK NEAR YOU!
Latest as of 06/22/2012
-CM9 Custom Bootanimations Added
Instead of putting the animation zip in >system/media, it'd prolly be better to put the animation in >data/local.
The new animation will still take affect, but without overwriting the stock file, making it easier to revert, just in case.
Update: Also, you prolly should add a step to your install instructions - renaming the downloaded file to bootanimation.zip
Thanks I forgot about data>local. I will replace that step in my instructions . At the beginning I stated the animations needed to be renamed, but thanks for reminding me of the other animation location. I use a boot animal changer because its easier.
For anyone still following this thread, I am getting ready to post a bunch more animations soon. In that pack are, custom and stock CM9 animations, custom and stock CM7 animations, and any other requests I get! If you want your own animation made, PM me and I will gladly do yours first! Cheers!
Thanks! Great share!
thx awesome
Its that time of year agan! Summer is here and I am updating all my threads, apps, and ...well... everything! So I decided to kick off with a new ICS CM9 Bootanimation! I will be able to put more time into XDA this summer so I am all ears if you want to request something or get help. Have fun!
This is the support thread for JT Inverted Productions JB 4.2 Gapps+ mod. If you have questions, ask them here. Do not ask for help in the other thread.
Main thread for downloads:
[APPS]JT Inverted Productions JB 4.2 Gapps+ Aroma & Quickflash
How to flash:
1. Backup your current ROM, if needed
2. Perform a full wipe - format /system, /data, /cache, and /dalvik-cache
3. Flash your ROM
4. Flash the gapps package you want
5. Reboot
6. If you need to restore any data, DO NOT restore data to any inverted apps
How to post a question:
1. Did you perform a full wipe before having this problem?
- Yes. There is no other correct answer to this question. If you answered no, correct that first by backing up your device, then doing a full wipe. This means that you should wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvick-cache before you even think about continuing with your report. Do not restore data. If you don't fully wipe, you will not receive help. Doing a full wipe allows you to check to see if the problem is there without any of your modifications.
2. Which file are you having trouble with?
- Please make sure to type or copy/paste out the entire file name.
3. Which device are you using?
- HTC One X/Samsung Galaxy S3/Motorola RAZR
4. Which ROM are you using, and which UI type is it?
- Post a link to the ROM you're using and also mention the type of UI (AOSP/CM10/AOKP). List your kernel as well, if you don't use the ROM's built in kernel.
5. Which recovery version are you using?
- CWM/TWRP/4EXT
6. State your problem with as much detail as possible.
- We aren't standing over your shoulder watching you mess up your phone. Describe in great and excruciating detail what you did to arrive at your problem.
1. I'm going to post my question without doing a search.
Fine, but you'll just get made fun of, or infracted by one of the mods who use this mod. Searching is the first rule of XDA.http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Do I really have to do a full wipe?
No one is going to stand over your shoulder and make sure you do, but don't expect help if you don't.
3. Why doesn't the zip file flash properly/Why is the zip file password protected?
Too many people don't bother reading the directions, so the zips are now password protected. The password is located in the OP (post #1) of the main thread. You have to read to find it. It only changes on occasion, so keep using the same password until it stops working, then look for the new one. Make sure to read for the changes when you grab the new password. The flashable zip is always hidden inside the password protected zip.
For more information on the password system, please read this helpful post by KidCarter93.
4. My recovery freezes, gives me some other weird error, or the gapps package just didn't flash properly and force closes a lot.
You probably don't have enough /system space. You need around 160MB of free /system space for the full package.
5. Gmail (or some other app) is not inverted after flashing this.
You forgot about FAQ #3. Always do a full wipe. Make sure you don't have duplicate apps in /data/app/ and /system/app/. All AOSP-based ROMs should NOT include Google Apps. Some of them might, so you may need to do some manual house cleaning to get this to work. If your chef includes Google Apps in a CM, AOKP, or AOSP ROM, remind them that Google does not allow this.
6. People app is not inverted/Phone.apk is missing.
Either restore your backup, or reflash aroma and deselect the people app from the menu. Do not use the inverted people app, as this tells us that it is not working on your device. There is no fix, so don't ask.
7. MMS.apk is not inverted.
Theme it yourself. Open MMS app, then go to Settings > theme and set it however you like. The included themes from TUN_D will automatically invert them, however.
8. When using Quick Reply pop up, the message displayed is not always the actual message that I just got. Sometimes it is an older message.
That's an issue with the MMS.apk provided by the CM team. It happens when you do not reply to a message from within the quickreply pop up, but instead bypass it to reply within the app. To get around that, you can disable the pop up, but leave the quickreply option and simply tap the "Quick Reply option from the notification bar. This will trigger the pop up and allow you to reply each time to the correct message.
9. I have problems with ghost inputs, or the touch screen is buggy, in aroma.
Follow the instructions in this post by Wechy77.
10. I don't want this boot animation anymore, or it was installed by mistake.
Delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip if it's there, or, if it's not there, extract your original boot animation from your ROM's zip file at /system/media/bootanimation.zip and move it to the same location in your ROM.
11. Instagram has a problem connecting to Facebook.
Before flashing the inverted Instagram, download the latest Instagram from the market, and log in to give it permission to access your Facebook profile. After that, flash the inverted Instagram, and it will work like normal. An updated version of Instagram is being worked on.
12. I read this whole FAQ and my issue isn't addressed.
Make a post with the following information, and state your problem clearly and in excruciating detail.
1. Did you perform a full wipe before having this problem?
- Yes. There is no other correct answer to this question. If you answered no, correct that first by backing up your device, then doing a full wipe. This means that you should wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvick-cachebefore you even think about continuing with your report. If you don't fully wipe, you will not receive help.

I see that the new download is jusTunbean_aroma.v4.0b.zip and what I downloaded yesterday was jusTunbean_aroma.v4.0.zip. I checked the changelog and didn't see an update. What's the difference between the 11/10 and the 11/11 version?
Thanks in advance. Let me know if this is a dumb question - don't want to flash for nothing, but also don't want to be one of those annoying noobs.

Thanks for the help! I think this support thread is a great solution. This way, noobs like me don't get nervous posting. Though, trust me - I always read the OP and FAQ, and try googling before I post. It's amazing how lazy people can be.

As far as I know, gallery and some other 4.2 stuff was removed due to errors. Also, CM file manager was changed. If 4.0 is working without any problems for you, then don't worry about updating to 4.0b. If you have issues, then update.
Aroma 4.0/Gapps 4.2a/b/c working with CM10 4.1.2 (i9000) , or not?
The new (4.2) cam/gallery and keyboard are working fine ... (other sources)
second the password was a goal on the wrong side my opinion, because the spamming goes on ...
thx for advanced
MfG
If someone has trouble with ghost inputs, and doesn't know, what to do, here is my little guidance:
There is a little work with it before you can make it work with touchscreen:
1. download "JusTunBean Aroma 4.x..."
2. download "update-binary" from here
3. copy "aroma-config" from JusTunBean.zip (It is in META-INF/com/google/android folder) Edit with notepad++ add calibrate("0.9718","4","1.0176","-9"); to first line. (This calibrate values are for Xperia ray)
If you use another phone and has trouble with ghost inputs then serach a rom in your phone thread with aroma install and find calibrate values.
It should look like this:
Code:
calibrate("0.9718","4","1.0176","-9");
### LICENSE:
#
(if you are on other phone, search for your calibrate numbers)
4. copy modded "aroma-config" and downloaded "update-binary" into the zip (META-INF/com/google/android folder) and overwrite old ones.
5. copy zip to sd card and go into cwm.
6. choose install zip from sd card, and it works with touchscreen.
Thats it.
p.s.: You must do it with every new release of course.

Could someone help me out. I've read the op a hundred times. I'm pretty sure i have the password. I've downloaded Zarchiver but now I'm lost. the directions that are given are once you find the password DL Zarchiver and type the password in that application. I can't DL the aroma zip to my phone in order to use Zarchiver to unzip it. All I get is a bunch of crazy text and the DL kicks me back to the xda post.If you could tell me what I'm doing wrong I'd really appreciate it. This is by far the best invert mod out there. Thanks

You can download in pc, and extract using password with 7zip or winzip or winrar. The Zarchiver is for that users mentioned, who wants download direct to phone. (I don't use Zarchiver, so i don't know, how it works)

Try to use Chrome -- it works.
This is a question about the theming:
I suppose this is to TUN, I don't use any of the custom themes, and I am on a Note using CM10:
when I am in Instagram, the words for "more comments" I assume is black on the black theme. I mean that when a person has more than 5-6 comments and you want to click it to see more.
Then the other thing I saw is in Facebook, when writing a message, I couldn't see what words were being typed, was just black on black.
Does anyone else see this?
Unfortunately for us holders of the L5ii, Mediatek seldom release any sources. Because of this, it's extremely difficult -if not impossible- to create custom kernels for our devices. This also means we cannot install custom recoveries and installing a custom ROM is almost incredibly difficult and time consuming. I've created a work around that'll give an AOSP feel for the mean time. I've basically been decompiling and modifying the system apks, and it's been doing the job nicely. Let's jump in.

This is still very much a work in progress, as there are a lot of files to edit. Patience is a virtue
Requirements:
LG L5ii(I've only tested it on the E460, so I'm not sure if it'll work on other models. Feel free to try)
Root Access + Superuser
Root-Capable File Manager (I use Root Explorer but any should work)
Optional - Titanium Backup Pro
You have read through the whole thread, including the instructions, before following them.
Disclaimer-
I am not responsible for breaking/damaging/bricking your device. You are changing system files, and any files you change, you are solely responsible for. Proceed with caution.
This is a fairly simple install.
1. Make a full backup of your phone's internal storage. All of it. Just in case something goes wrong.
2. Download and extract the .zip file attached to this thread.
3. Copy the 'system' folder onto your SD card, and then to the root of your phone's storage. Grant root access to your file manager if it is requested. It may also ask to re-mount the partition, click okay if it does.
4. Reboot your phone. When it boots up, it should say something along the lines of "Android is upgrading". Wait for it to boot, and the changes should have been made.
Optional:
I'd also recommend installing the Google Keyboard, and an AOSP-based launcher such as Nova Launcher or Holo Launcher. Convert these to System Apps using Titanium BackUp. You may also wish to delete the 'old' system apps from your phone. At the moment, I've found it is safe to delete "CameraApp3.apk", "Gallerybin.apk" and(They're too big to attach, so I have to wait till I can post external links) "Calculatorbin.apk" as AOSP equivalents are included. If you install the Google Keyboard and alternative launcher and have them set as System Apps, I've found it's also safe to delete "LGEIMEbin.apk" and "LGHome3a.apk". Though, make sure you set them as their respective defaults before hand. This is especially vital for Google Keyboard.
5. Reboot once more, just to be sure that everything sets in. Then, you're done.
What's Currently Changed:
Status Bar and parts of it's 'expanded' state
AOSP Camera+Gallery
AOSP Calculator
'Google Play Edition' boot animation
Sun Beam/Phase Beam live wallpapers
What's Currently Being Done:
Other parts of the status bar + 'expanded' state
System dialogues
What's Planned to be Changed:
Settings
Messaging
Dialer + Contacts
AOSP Browser
Clock
Lock Screen
Calendar
Email
Anything else that I'm capable of changing/AOSPifying

At the moment, I've found it is safe to delete "CameraApp3.apk", "Gallerybin.apk" and(They're too big to attach, so I have to wait till I can post external links) "Calculatorbin.apk" as AOSP equivalents are included. If you install the Google Keyboard and alternative launcher and have them set as System Apps, I've found it's also safe to delete "LGEIMEbin.apk" and "LGHome3a.apk". Though, make sure you set them as their respective defaults before hand. This is especially vital for Google Keyboard.
5. Reboot once more, just to be sure that everything sets in. Then, you're done.

Hey man, thanks for sharing, I like the AOSP look way more than LG look....
I also managed to make the AOSP lockscreen look like this: (Im still fighting to remove the ugly emergency button)
Ask me if you want the files or the instructions!

can you make a transparent status bar??

The easiest way I found for trans statusbar is Xposed and Gravitybox. It has the option to adjust transparency.
Very nice, indeed it work on the E450.
How ever i have a question.
What is the LG stock "apk" that is in charge of the status bar and notification tray. I ask since i use it stock (without your changed) on my 2nd device and i have tinted status bar for a kitkat effect.
It work fine but when i pull down the notification tray, it is black (almost Holo theme) but the bar it self...that is semi-transparent as kitkat.
I could fix it if i found the statusbar "apk" or the one that is in charge of it to add the black collor on tinted statusbar options.
Sorry to ask such a non related question. But as you did change the stock, i was hoping you could share a light = )

Thanks for the reply
I could not find the systemui.apk on the list that the module in question (tinted statusbar) show. I found odd since it show all the others from system.
But thanks, on that module there is no bootloop danger since it dont change the xml and .apk . It kind of detect it to "reskin" after the boot
Thanks to clarify the most close to find is if i make the module to detect the systemui.apk and search the xml in question, it realy help

the real name of it is LGsytemui.apk or do you have the T-mobile version of the phone?

No, it is actualy Brasilian carrier.
But it is possible they do the same as T-mobile as all the logos of boot screen is theyr.
Thanks for the pack, it looks great. But I have a problem. I can't manage to restore the status bar. I replaced my LGSystemUI.apk with a wrong one, and now a can't restore my status bar. Do you have any advice?
Er..but the original 'system' folder at the root of our device contains the build.prop. So when I try copying and pasting the modified 'system' folder it prompts me to either overwrite it or skip it. I'm scared that overwriting might brick my phone while rebooting.
please tell me if I'm wrong.:fingers-crossed:

Error in lgsystemui

Unfortunately for us holders of the L5ii, Mediatek seldom release any sources. Because of this, it's extremely difficult -if not impossible- to create custom kernels for our devices. This also means we cannot install custom recoveries and installing a custom ROM is almost incredibly difficult and time consuming. I've created a work around that'll give an AOSP feel for the mean time. I've basically been decompiling and modifying the system apks, and it's been doing the job nicely. Let's jump in.
This is still very much a work in progress, as there are a lot of files to edit. Patience is a virtue
Requirements:
LG L5ii(I've only tested it on the E460, so I'm not sure if it'll work on other models. Feel free to try)
Root Access + Superuser
Root-Capable File Manager (I use Root Explorer but any should work)
Optional - Titanium Backup Pro
You have read through the whole thread, including the instructions, before following them.
Disclaimer-
I am not responsible for breaking/damaging/bricking your device. You are changing system files, and any files you change, you are solely responsible for. Proceed with caution.
This is a fairly simple install.
1. Make a full backup of your phone's internal storage. All of it. Just in case something goes wrong.
2. Download and extract the .zip file attached to this thread.
3. Copy the 'system' folder onto your SD card, and then to the root of your phone's storage. Grant root access to your file manager if it is requested. It may also ask to re-mount the partition, click okay if it does.
4. Reboot your phone. When it boots up, it should say something along the lines of "Android is upgrading". Wait for it to boot, and the changes should have been made.
Optional:
I'd also recommend installing the Google Keyboard, and an AOSP-based launcher such as Nova Launcher or Holo Launcher. Convert these to System Apps using Titanium BackUp. You may also wish to delete the 'old' system apps from your phone. At the moment, I've found it is safe to delete "CameraApp3.apk", "Gallerybin.apk" and(They're too big to attach, so I have to wait till I can post external links) "Calculatorbin.apk" as AOSP equivalents are included.

Hi, bro.
i downloaded the system.zip file, extracted it and replaced the downloaded file with my original system folder in the root directory using Root Browser from playstore.
once i've rebooted the phone, nothing was happened.
i decided to do it again, then immediatly the lge launche was stopping multiple times, then i rebooted my phone and the dead android logo was showing up, that's how my phone died.
now i will restore and try again idk what's wrong
can u explain me
Now that the H918 is finally rootable with lafsploit (thanks to @runningnak3d), I thought there may be some interest in themes for TWRP. I was watching this thread when he first created these themes several years ago. They have matured a lot over the last few years. Note that it's none of my work and I don't support any of it, I'm just a very happy user of the themes.
Here is the link to the thread with all of the screenshots, instructions, etc.
Have fun!
I've been using z31s1g's twrp black themes on many devices for years, and now I can't imagine using just the stick layout all that time. His work is where the bar is set for sure.
Theres a must have add-on that you must get separately though, aroma file manager. You can find it in this thread. Look for his github link and download aromafm-2.00b7.zip to your phone. Rename and place the zip file to /sdcard/TWRP/theme/aromafm/aromafm.zip
Now, when you check the box in theme settings to use aroma, it will default to that when you tap file manager. AromaFM is a basic but powerful file manager that is WAY nicer than the default one in TWRP. You can select multiple items, unzip with a long tap, save bookmarked directories, and theres even a terminal emulator with a keyboard that again, is much nicer than default.
Its worth mentioning that you don't need any theme applied to use aromafm, you can flash it like any other zip and that will launch the file manager too.
Last bit of info; to use the image kitchen add-on that let's you change the theme and splash screen you want, and pack it into a custom twrp.recovery.img to make your theme sort of baked in, you can install that by flashing osm0sis's mobile version from this thread. At the time of writing this youre looking for UPDATE-AIK.Mobile.Installer.v3.2-ALL-signed.zip
Lately, I've been using @G.M.L. 's MAT theme, which is based off of that one but he has a bunch of addirional visual customizing you can do. I tried it just to see and haven't wanted to go back.
After writing this that seems like a lot of work to have a nice recovery mode that you can do anything with, but like I said to open, I couldn't go back to not using any theme at all.
