[MOD] Xperia P ONLY | InfiniteView - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I made a mod on InfiniteView.apk
See attachment for Screenshots
Requirement:
1. Root
How to Install:
1. copy or push InfiniteView.apk to /system/app
2. change permission to 644 with either ADB or SolidExplorer
2.1 With ADB:
adb shell
su
chmod 644 /system/app/InfiniteView.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot
2.2 With SolidExplorer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537189) :
Make sure you "Allow" SolidExplorer for SU/Root permission when prompted (first time)
go to /system/app/
long press on InfiniteView.apk > properties
change 'Attributes' to -rw r-- r--
reboot phone
Anyway, I considered this project finished, so expect no update. However, if you find any misplaced layouts please let me know and provide a screenshot as well and I will try to fix it as soon as possible.
If you like my work, please hit the 'thank you' button
and last I would like to thank 4rch0 and AeonWorld for their help!
This mod is tested only on Xperia P and I promise you, it will NOT work on other Xperia

Enabling CRT animation

Found this thread on XDA that shows how to enable the CRT animation on gingerbread devices.
It is mentioned in the thread that "samsung does not have animation enabled by default. The code is there, they've just disabled it from the xml."
1. Get apk manager
2. Put framework-res.apk in "modding" folder
3. Run apk manager, decompile with dependancy (option 10)
4. Drag twframework-res.apk into the script.
5. Go into projects\framework-res\res\values\bool.xml
6. Make config_animateScreenLights to false
7. Go back to script and select compile.
8. Say y
9. Say y
10. Delete resources.arsc from keep folder
11. Enter in script
12. U'll find unsignedframework-res.apk in "modding" folder

how to get these unsignedframework-res.apk ??
I tried it the method suggested by changing only the boolean variable for the screen animation and i went into a bootloop after replacing the framework-res.apk using adb. Though i had a backup of the old framework-res.apk i couldn't get root access in the bootloop so had to reflash the ROM. Better keep a backup before trying this.

is bravia a screen tweak or a camera tweak?
This is a screen tweak. You won't notice a diff in photo's etc taken by the camera and viewed on a computer or another device.
This engine is just used to tweak the display brightness/contrast/sharpness etc of images and movies viewed on the device only.
Can someone post before and after pics /video
I'm running android revolution. Has someone used it in that Rom yet? I would really like to try it

but the way the galaxy devs did it looks good and easy to use for me

Mod Or Theme My ASUS MeMO Pad

Hello Everyone,
Today I bought a ASUS MeMO Pad for my mum to use and released that the usual stock launcher isn't really noob friendly or has much customization available.
I am really keen to make it look like the Samsung Tab 2, hence touchwiz. Apart from the obvious answer to use one of the many launchers available in Google Play, is there a way to mod the ASUS MeMO Pad, or installing trebuchet, even if it means rooting. Basically is there a way to transform it to look and feel like a Samsung Tab?
Thanks!
i bothered to stay up 24hrs. Basically use apktool thingy! Also read fibe print wants to be in root directory on your computer.
And signing it makes it fail for me.
Anyhow after you got it the way u want compile.
Then: Install script runner, write a script to: su itself, the mount the /system/ as rewritable, next make back up your old one, pref two places(make dir ahead of time), then script should also: copy the new SystemUI.apk and chmod the new apk, sleep 10, chmod again! Sleep for 20 (keep hitting the ok button don't panic) the new apk should start, slide down the status thingy. Then after your sleep 20 make sure to put the orginal back and chmod twice. The script finished. If problems reboot. NP.
Now if all is well rerun that same scritp and put "echo " on all lines we don't need again ie backing up switchroo!
Or make 2 script like me, emergency-bka-replacer; testing-swapper. And manually make dir/copy backups with a file manager.
Please note! MANUALLY COPY SystemUI.apk from the /system/priv-app/ directory to a safe place on your sd card got it??????
please note if u in bind just push the ok button you get .5 to 2 seconds to do an action. Navigate is slow you can still do most. Hold select is really hard!
Please also note to chmod 777 or 776 u can fix later. You HAVE TO DO THIS, sd card is fat32 does not handle file perms!!!!!
Please note that memopad 176cx sucks! =P xpose is your best friend, and a system app mover, or normal u can disable apps now.
Please note, linux IS CASESENSITIVE, google bash for cmds if needed.
Okay okay its a dark theme with a Starwarz pallete looks pretty good!
My Scritp example:
su
echo replacer script
mount -o remount, rw /system/
cp /storage/emulated/0/unsignednew/SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app/
chmod 777 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
echo copied
sleep 10
cp /storage/emulated/0/unsignednew/SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app/
chmod 777 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
sleep 20
echo does it work?
chmod 777 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
cp /storage/emulated/0/abka/SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app/
chmod 777 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
chmod 777 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
echo you should see this if the script finished
Here is the file+screenshots for now in next reply

Here is new apk, (unsigned works 4 me) unsigned/signed/myorginal/scriptexample
11mb urlis{tinyurl.com/z9o52ut}
Avoid conflicts DELETE OR BACK UP SystemUi.odex in /system/pri-apps. New will not work with this file!
No cross-site linking! If my dropbox gets slamed I will pull teh file.

[q] how to push files?

i dont know if the real term is "PUSH" when you want to replace the mms.apk !! wanna ask sir how i can change the default messaging app in my android thanks for the answer
You habe to replace the Mms.apk in /system/app on your phone. To do so you need a file explorer with root privileges that is able to remount the system partition with read write option(normally it's mounted readonly). E.g. root browser or es file explorer
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
u could also push via adb which is my preferred method or put your desired app in a flashable zip,flash it in recovery,reboot,all done,no need to mess with explorer apps or setting permissions as it does it for you
use adb shell from terminal or command prompt:
1. adb push path:\mms.apk /system/app
2. adb shell
3. cd /system/app
4. su
5. chmod 644 mms.apk
6. chown root:root mms.apk
