Hi,
Lots of themes available for different custom ROM's, but do any of them work with Stock ROM???
Thanks
Phil
There aren't a lot of themes for odexed (stock) ROMs.
The S-Mod is one, and there's a Honeycomb one as well in the same forum.
You do have to at least flash another Samsung firmware to run the S-Mod (XXKI4)
---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
Should have added: you must be rooted.
Also, the Jkay mod on its own adds great functionality + some theming. Also must be rooted and have a compatible firmware.
Thanks...I already have KI4, just need to sort out CWM

CF Root to the rescue :-D
Sent from my MicroTAC 9800X using speech to fax modem
I rooted my 8.9 HDX a few months ago, and when the latest two updates started being released, I put it into airplane mode, defeating the reason for having a tablet. I am running Safestrap with the rooted stock rom installed in a rom slot, X-posed module intalled, Android firewall setup, and all those things that were originally thought to prevent update, but I know that as soon as I turn on Wi-Fi it will get updated. I understand that modifying the build.prop is currently the only way to prevent the update, but I can't find (and yes, I have searched the forum) the correct way to safely mod it.
Can someone please post a short tutorial for safely modding the build.prop for the 8.9HDX? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
The attached apk is a different xposed mod that I currently use to block updates. It works.Renaming com.amazon.dtcp.apk (or "dcp" I can't remember) to com.amazon.dtcp.off will work too. Use both. https://peniscorp.com/KindleUpdatesOff.apk Freaking weird URL, i know.

I9100 + PAC-man 4.4.4.RC-3 + gapps-kk-20140606-signed = no file upload
Hello all,
I recently revived my S2 and installed PAC-man RC3 on it. First with the modular-micro version of gapps, then with the gapps-kk-20140606-signed version. In both cases, I can not upload anything to anywhere using the build-in browser. Upon selecting a file for upload using a webform, I get the new file picker, and when I choose a picture for instance, the file name get's trunkated to: image%3A153
When the form is trying to process the selection, I get an error about image:153 not being in a valid format. This leads me to suspect that the %3A part in the filename is causing an issue.
I did not do anything else to my system, and formatted and whiped everything I could think of .. from dalvik cache to my internal and external SD. The phone was probably cleaner then I got it from the previous owner after I was done, yet, this issue remains. Am I goofing up something or is this a bug ? I can not find anything on 'PACman ROM rc3 can not upload files from phone' google searches, and adaptations on that phrase.
Any help or insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

DO you have this problem in any rom other than PAC RC3 ? Because i dont think there is any problem of Uploading files in this rom i hv used this rom for a week it was quite good for me !!. Try to check first if this problem is with the your s2 or with the rom by flashing a new rom !!

Have not tried yet. But neither Imgur nor any of the forums I usually upload pics to, can handle what the filepicker puts in the webform .. so I'm quite sure the issue is with the filepicker. I can upload pictures using apps without problems (fb app, whatsapp, etc.) I will try another Rom and report back.

@Planet_Jeroen Ummm Try installing PA 4.6 Its the basic stock based 4.4.4 and see if you have the problem !! btw which kernel are you using presently ?? I would recommend you to use Dorimanx latest as its stable as of now if youre using any other than this !!
You could also try SLIM KAT 4.4.4 latest nightly over Gustavo kernel with full wipe and check if you have the problem.

As you are sure that this is a problem with filepicker and your inbuilt browser . confirm whether you can do the same in an external browser first like Chrome !!

I finally found the time to start flashing ... and am very f-ing glad I saw your comment before I did I just installed firefox, and there are no issues with the filepicker anymore. It seems the issue is with the build-in browser.
Thanks a ton for that suggestion, I do not really know why I did not try that already :/
Initially RC3 but have random soft reboots at screen transitions por at download images. Occasionally i lost data and voice but my status in the task bar appears fine.
Eventually flashed 22 Dec 2014 nightly and continue soft reboots & música bug, i lost the sound con música player. I found a kerne for AOSP or Cyanogenmod versións ¿Can i flash that kernel?
Thanks.

Hey RealWelder,
thanks so much for working on this device, I coudn't believe when I saw someone was posting about it so recently. I am still desperately searching for a SM-G360P ROM without carrier lock. Could you tell me which Stock-Rom (Boost/Sprint/Virgin etc.) this ROM is based on? Do you think it's possible to deactivate the carrier lock in a ROM at all?
Also: Have you found any custom roms for the 360P or tweaked some to work on the device?
I installed your modded ROM and really like the modifications you did. Great job! Now, if the phone would accept my SIM-Card instead of showing "Invalid SIM", I'd be totally satisfied
Thanks again & keep up the good work!

I'm not too sure about the carrier lock, I would think with a SIM it would work on any GSM network, but that's not always the case. This is the Boost Variant and the firmware is the latest, G360PVPS2APE2.
So far I've not found anything other than modified stock ROMs for the device, but we have everything we need besides someone who can actually build it from source. At one time Blazer64 had CM11 on his Core Prime, (his was s820l through Straight Talk) but I think the project was abandoned. I can modify, but building from source isn't even possible with my current dinosaur of a PC. Lol

I'm not 100% sure my SIM-card isn't detected because of a carrier-lock. I brought the phone from the US and now use it in Germany, so that may be why...
Having Lineage on my SM-G360P would be a dream, maybe some day a dev feels up to the task. I'd even invest some money, if somebody was willing. It's not even because I particularly love the phone (I actually have a working Huawei phone), but simply because I don't feel like throwing it away. Damn all these manufacturers for abandoning their models so shortly after release.
Do you perhaps know how one would get into ROM-building and Modding? Are there any decent resources you know of?

Yes, check out @tdunham Unified TouchWiz Guides and Mods thread. There you will find (near the bottom of the 1st page) a link to Custom Settings by @ficeto. You can download it and use it instead of ROM Control (which is for 5.0+) to use the mods. Also @venkat kamesh has a signing tool that I used to resign the Custom Settings app after I modified it.

Alrighty, I looked through the list (holy cow that's crap ton of customization, suck on that Apple!) And I couldn't find where I could make my phone's notification area look more modern, just like you have on your modified ROM. Do you know where can I find that? Thanks!

I did that on my own, you can decompile my SystemUI_ESS.apk with apktool and check it out. Most of the changes are in Notification_Header.xml, Status_Bar.xml, and Status_Bar_Expanded.xml as well as /values/Colors.xml and /values/Drawables.xml.
Make sure you search through all of the various values folders because there are different Colors.xml and Drawables.xml for each screen size. Same with /layout which is where the other 3 files are. (mdpi, hdpi, etc.)

Excellent work with this rom. I was finally able to get xposed working on this phone after flashing your rom. And the twrp for this rom works great. I like the bootanimation you made, I tried to change it and was unable to. Any suggestions? I tried putting bak at the end of every file and even added my zip to the folder with no avail. Help me please @RealWelder And one last thing, I get this annoying pop-up that my software has been updated every time the phone boots and I can't get rid of it. The xposed apps notify clean and receiver stop are useless for it. I tried disabling system software update apps with root uninstaller pro and still nothing.

The bootanimation should be pretty easy, just replace bootanimation.zip in /system/media/ with you own. (Or use an app like JRummy's Bootanimation app.) I'm not sure what's up with the update, unless Boost finally did one. I don't have a SIM or service on mine so I would be unable to get it currently. I'll see what I can figure out, though.

I did put my zip in system/media and even put bak at the end of every boot file. Before that I tried the Samsung boot animation app and it didn't work. Hence the reason why I tried other options. I'm going to try.again one last time. I'll let you know if I have any progress. And thanks for your response and also great rom.

Hey just don't worry about the boot animation. Once I got Xposed and all the Xposed apps up and running, I did a backup. Good thing too, messing with the boot animations made the phone to work real slow. I said to hell with it and just did a restore in twrp. As much as I would want this phone to boot like my Samsung tab 4 with the Stargate animation, it doesn't seem worth the effort. So don't trouble yourself messing with it @RealWelder. I appreciate what you did with this rom. Changing the architecture to an arm7 I believe. Well anyways, Xposed accepts it now. I can't thank you enough!

You're gonna need some tools. Apktool.jar or other program which uses apktool to decompile and recompile apks. It's also a good idea to keep newer and older versions of smali and baksmali.jar(s) because smali code has changed a bit and sometimes you have to baksmali with an older version and then smali with the newer version to convert code. Next you'll want to go check out TDunham's Ultimate TouchWiz guides and mods thread. There you will find all of the tutorials and mods.

You don't install that zip just extract it into a folder on your computer and then find a thread that explains how to use it. My instructions will help some, but it was written for a different device so the frameworks that you install be different.

Hey man, I was just wondering. Can I install a custom ROM from a different phone? Like Sm-g360h? I don't care if I can make phone calls as long as the ROM works? You think it will boot loop or even worse, brick my phone?
Edit: if anything happens to my phone, I will NOT hold anyone responsible besides me. Don't worry lol
