This is only for Verizon Stock with root injected
4.1.1
Build: JRO03C.I605VRALJB
Steps:
1) Please mount your system as read/write, extract the files in the attached zip file, and copy:
FlashBarService.odex to /system/app
services.odex to /system/framework
Make sure you are actually replacing the old files and not renaming them.
The proper permissions should be rw- r-- r-- on both files (thanks Sylvaria)
2) Then reboot. Shouldn't have to clear dalvik-cache...
3) (recommended) delete "/data/data/com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService" and reboot once more
Potential issues
**If your apps appear in the edit menu and you have trouble adding apps to the multi-window bar, check in your /data/data folder and see if you have a folder named flashbar. If so, delete it and reboot to see if that fixes your issue. "/data/data/com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService"
**If you cannot see the edit button on your multi-window bar, make sure your DPI is set to 320 via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35036854&postcount=108
Warning
services.odex is actually in use, so you may not be able to replace it before it reboots, which will cause you to boot loop. Just ODIN the root image again and try again. People have gotten it to be replaced after an attempt or two.
from nosit1: "This might sound extremely stupid, but when replacing services.odex (do it last of course) if you screen is on, turn it off before pushing it to your device (if using adb). "
from shelooga: "I went into a bootloop, but a battery pull fixed it, no odin required, fyi."
---
Please let me know if this works, as it works for me. If you do go into a boot loop you will have to re-flash the root ODIN image.

Can some one verify that Netflix will continue to play even if you switch to the second window? Thanks.
Getting this weird issue where I can't add apps that aren't listed in the first page of apps. Like, the first 8 rows of apps add fine, but everything below that (once I have to scroll down to see them) only add apps from those first 8 rows, instead of adding the actual app I'm drag-and-dropping.
Not sure what's up.

Works Great. Thanks! Loving the fasr progress being made with our device.. Just thought i would mention that after i added the seconmdf file to service.framework my device froze the second i answered yes to "already exists, wamt to replace"? After 20 seconds it rebooted and everything is silky smooth as expected. So dont freak out and throw your phone across the room. patience is a virtue. Thanks again!

Check in your /data/data folder and see if you have a folder named flashbar. If so, delete it and reboot to see if that fixes your issue.
Tried re-pasting the files over, same issue still persists. Not sure what's up at all. Pretty annoying.
I wonder if unfreezing my bloatware would make a difference? Not a big fan of doing that, though.

Update: Changed a couple of icons to make them clearer.
EDIT: New screen shots added. Fixed the folder structure issue.
So, I was getting tired of looking at the off-white icons in the Settings, and I like how some of the Droids (and possibly others) have colored icons in the Settings menu. I whipped this up quickly this afternoon and liked the way it turned out.
No known issues, but you still apply this at your own risk. I am not responsible if it breaks your phone, your home, or your back.

File structure from the unzip looks wrong. If you go back into metamorph and pick existing themes -> settingsiconmod and go down an extra folder, the XML file is there. Select that and apply.

There was an extra subfolder that you had to go into to get to the theme control file (the xml). It caused an error in Metamorph (invalid theme control file) when you were unzipping it. It would still work, but you had to go back into Metamorph after it errored out and select it manually. I removed the extra subfolder so it should be in the right spot and Metamorph should not give the error.
I am going to be working on a Morph for the Dialer too soon. I am not a fan of the blue that Samsung chose for everything. Too pale. I am not sure what color(s) to go with yet, but I am going to play around a bit with it.

Return to stock. No more Verizon Navigation. You do need Google maps / navigation installed.
Ripped from Mesmerize, de-odexed.
Before adding this to your device, make sure you've renamed /system/app/CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex (or move them, etc..)
Then just add the new .apk to /system/app. I use adb to push, but as long as you get the file there in /system/app it should be fine. You do not install this .apk, just copy it.
Code:
adb push CarHome.apk /system/app
All done.
If you see any FC, just reboot. Post up with any issues.

You can just put it on your card and move it with root explorer. See how that works.

Thanks for the help. I got it moved over using Super manager instead of Root Explorer. I restarted my phone but I don't see anything different other than the fact that now when I press Voice Search, I get a Force Close. The Navigation button is still linked to VZ Navigator. What exactly is meant by de-VZW'd? I do have google maps/nav installed FWIW.

You are rooted, right? I'm guessing you may not have CWM installed? You should have no trouble pushing the file via adb with CWM installed. CWM changes the way the adb daemon runs on the device.
Might try renaming the original CarHome.apk and CarHome.odex to CarHome.apk.old and CarHome.odex.old, then moving the file I posted to /system/app. Don't install it (it probably won't install anyway), just put it in /system/app.
Could you install the apk file using App Installer from the market?

Hmm, noticed something funky with this. When you hit the navigation function, it asks you to choose Google Navigation or Your Navigator, and if you choose the second option, it will hang and force close. I think I'm going back to the Car Home app ripped from the Vibrant, as it instantly launches Google Navigation with giving you a useless menu prompt.

I've noticed that too, not sure why it's doing that... Obviously you choose 'Google Navigation', but if the extra touch to do so is a deal-breaker, definitely use some other launcher. I'll see if I can find out where that's coming from and get rid of it.
Besides that quirk, the only differences between that one and the Vibrant version are slightly different icons and icon placement, so not a big deal.

Just rename your existing .apk and .odex to .old or whatever you prefer, then just push. You may need to reboot afterward.
This was from the Mesmerize, so the "odexed" version would just be ripping this from the system dump and copying it over.. not sure if that would work, I didn't try it out. Makes sense to me that it would, but you know how picky these things are.

any chance someone can get the desk cradle apk from either the mesmerize or vibrant to complete the de-bing/vzw. car cradle works perfect thanks to this but having the desk cradle apk from either phones to work with our phones would be icing on the cake...
Use at your own risk!
OK so here I am what I have done is really very simple using
the script by Tilde88 I have simply copied over the modified apk files.
Yes when you reboot all is lost but you can simply run

Interesting. Downloading now to check it out.
Edit:
Not working for me. sense launcher bootloops (FC's). I see where you changed the green to blue in the white HTC screen between boots, but the launcher itself goes boom.
I can understand FC's on sense, because of the apk changes...but it should bring itself back up without constant FC's and that's where the trouble is, on my phone at least. I'll hack through the batch file and see if I can figure out which apk is causing the trouble.
Had a slight problem with the browser, should be fixed in a min.
Interesting...after I rebooted to clear the sense bootloops I lost all my widgets...'Problem loading gadget'. Removed the Rosie.apk from the batch script and I no longer get the sense FC's...does reload sense though, which is fine.
Lost my logins (facebook google twitter etc). Hmmm...fun stuff.

Note: Rosie.apk is definitely what's causing infinite launcher loops for me.
Note: adding framework-res.apk will DEFINITELY blow things up. I don't recommend it. Was worth a shot though. I'd hoped that the launcher reset would reload it...instead of reloading framework-res.apk it just crashed sense completely. Oh well live and learn.
Note: You left adb push ./hosts /etc/hosts but didn't include a hosts file. No biggie, just wanted to let you know.

Here's the major down-side to this:
Every reboot you'll have to re-do your home-screens. The widgets die on a reboot probably because of changed file sizes). Even after reapplying this script all my widgets are 'problem loading gadget'.
Not that I personally care. Takes me 3 minutes to set up homescreens and you can PROBABLY restore them with titanium backup (I haven't tested, use at your own risk), but it's a definite extra step.
Edit: Settings works fine if I removed the updated apk from the batch script.
Market FC's too. Looks like this isn't going to work for me. I think you're on the right track, though. I hadn't thought of modifying the apk's yet.

I backed up then uninstalled by Titanium Backup, and used the installer without a hitch.
Running UnNamed 1.3.2 though, not sure if the newer versions may be the reason why its not working properly.
Cool. Must be the fingerprint with the new UnNamed.
And how do you find the voice accuracy? Is it better? Just curious...

Have to do some testing with it for a few days and see if its noticeably different or the same.

so, installed perfectly using instructions from post #5. I don't really know what's the difference between uninstalling via Titanium vs. adb removing, but it worked with the Titanium method, and not with adb.
Thanks for the tip on using titanium to backup/uninstall, works for rooted stock as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I've been using it for about two days now and with the exception of an beta-ish incident I had with it (it stopped working after my first reboot if the phone and I had to reinstall it), I can confidently say that this update makes Swype much, much better. Swype always used to piss me off within the day for the simplest of reasons, but with all the new gestures, dictionary options and (finally) contextual typing, it's hard to put this one down. And it should be mentioned that I'm a huge keyboard junkie, if that exists. I have pro versions for most of the keyboards on the market and constantly switch between them because they generally all disappoint me in one way or another.
The voice recognition is naturally better now that the company has been acquired by Nuance, but it isn't quite up to the accuracy of choice dictation on the iPhone 4s, for whatever reason. Is it better than what it used to be on Swype/Android? Hell yes. In addition, this can do languages other than English, something I found particularly amazing.
All in all, I like it.

The speech recognition still sucks.

Actually just had a look at the new apk... it's completely different so I don't think it'd be possible to just transfer it over from the old one.
I can try and do it manually... we'll see how it turns out.
Good luck, after the holidays i'm going to read up on theming.
I tried doing it myself to change the stock SMS but couldn't get it working ended up using goSMS lol.

I just did a proof of concept, just to see if it works... It's really simple actually!!!!
I did orange and blue (Denver Broncos colors) if you guys want it, just install it like normal.
Here is how to do it:
You take that .apk file thats in the OP, make a few copies of it just incase...
Then you get 7zip, open it up with 7zip... copy all the files in "assets/keyboard" to a new folder on your computer.
The files you need to edit are preceded by "display0_" since we have wvga screens.
The way I did it was open it up in photoshop (the images, that is) and edit the file and save it.
The files I editted were:
background
caps
capsbutton
funcbutton
numbutton
selbutton
textbutton
AFTER EDITTING!!
This is where it gets tricky...
You open that original .apk with the 7zip proggy and you transfer all those images back into it, in the proper folder.
Now you need to sign it using apkmanager or whatever you may want. Open it up in apkmanager, and sign it (using the batch signing folder thing option choice thing).
DONE!
Oops guess my message by xda app didn't go through.
The theme did work perfectly, good job!
Would It be too much to ask for a dark-themed swype like on ICScrewD or unNamed?
Then I can finally update swype

I second this!!
But I am going to try myself with the instructions of samvillian.
Just haven't had time, hopefully this weekend I can start practicing on theming.

I've got most of swype done. Issues im running into is apktool is unable to decompile or recompile a working product. Assume because of the updated version. Ill keep pressing.
Here is the My Water Live Wallpaper (which depicts the water level as you battery percentage) and Weather widget from the ASUS Transformer running on our Touchpad running CM9 Alpha 0.
You can get more information/download from here: MyWater http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048959
this needs to be added to /system/app and change properties to rw- r-- r--
EDIT #1: MyWater 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387779
this can just be installed just like any other apk.
EDIT #2: ASUS Supernote
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298854
Where do I find the system/app folder?
Update: Found it!!!
Thanks.
Mywater2 worked only after I copied it to /System/app with ES file explorer and long press the apk, go down to properties and changed permissions like you said.
Both My Water wallpapes don't work for me. I see them fine in preview but when I set them, it says it stopped. I placed them in system/app and changed the permisions. The weather widget works fine.
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm dumb, got it now.

Have them in the system/app folder and
the downloads one (or any other) and just install them from that other folder since it'll give you an error in the app one.
Water2 works but Water1 doesn't... They're probably conflicting or something

Tried on mine and couldn't get them to install either. Possibly some tweaking is needed.

Settings in weather widget
I see in your youtube vid that you've got the temp in degrees Fahrenheit. I see the tick box for that in settings, but when I attempt to apply, it won't stick. I've uninstalled and reinstalled.
Anyone else with this problem?

same thing here for me too

Worked first time but when I changed to something else than try again and now both Water and water2 not working anymore.
I found myself having the same problem, Unfortunately, xxxxxx has stopped working. If I set tap the wallpaper from the wallpaper selection, then hit apply wallpaper before it actually loads in the preview, then the live wallpaper works no problem.
