Skyfall theme for the SP (Flashable .zip for unlocked bootloader) - Xperia SP Themes and Apps

We have a problem. At this time (Saturday, June 22) there are only 2 ways to root the SP, and one is by unlocking the bootloader and changing the kernel. The benefit is a very easy root method by flashing the SuperSU .zip and VoilĂ !
Flashing the .zip is not the only way to install this, If you don't want to unlock the bootloader and you already have rooted the phone, you can try by unzipping the contents and moving everything manually to its location...It may work, but I'm not sure.

The .zip will Install:
-3 Wallpapers

-Theme (Similar or identical to Quartz)
Download it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0dlr3li4py8mov2
No need to wipe dalvik cache or cache, Its working on my ODEXED phone. Just install it like any other .zip
BONUS The pictures and trailer from the movie. On the 4th screenshot the pictues can be seen. Eacha picture has its GeoData, so they will appear on the Globe view
Download them from here and put them on your external SD: http://www.mediafire.com/?wp85y2vrrjkp894

I dont have a cwm. Because i am in a locked Bootloader and rooted with Doomlord's Rooting toolkit with .284 fitmware..
I have to move it all to the original locations with right Permission .. right ?? Like " RW R R ".. using root explorer.. right ? Otherwise it won't work ...
Edit :
Yes . Its worked . I take theme only..
I move it to System/vender/framework with right permission using Root Explorer.. looking cool.. thanks for the share... good work..

Use root explorer. Extract the zip file and move all the themes files to System/app with right permission
Permission means RW R R. Then reboot ur device
If u have a working recovery means just flash it

Ok
i extracted the file and got 2 folders (metainf and system) copied them to system/app and set the correct permissions.
or else do i have to extract all files from subfolders and copy them all seprately to system/app ...u know y i m asking this .....is because in root folder all are .apk files NO FOLDER as such in system/app
so will moving the two folders make theme work.?
Thanx

Do i need to remove stock keyboard first? Do i must to replace files? Because "[Keyboard] X10mini" is an Stock Keyboard too...
The OP has omitted telling you to set permissions on the files copied over.. That's why you don't "see" the new keyboard.
Set permissions the same as the other files in each folder.

it wont just install like that..
Ive uploaded an empty update file.. just place ur BlurGallery.apk file (you got from previous user) inside the /system/app folder and use CWM Recovery to install it.. should be fine..
ignore the arctic motorola home launcher message whilst its installing via CWM.. iv always just used it as a template package lol
well hope it helps!
just do a backup incase u run into a problem.. although cant see why you should run into 1.. but better safe than sorry
Edit - maybe another way would be using something like rootexplorer and replacing the file located in /system/app with the one you got and fixing permission.. just a lil unsure if theres anything extra required here.. hence the reason why ive stated above method. anyhu good luck.. let me know how it goes!!
thanks. but how do i install using cwm?
just figure out what u mean.. will try it.. tq very much!
Edit: tried and failed.. nothibg happened after flashed it. I m sure i ve insert the apk to the update file
generally all u had to do with previous package is
1) insert the .apk file in system/app folder
2) install via CWM
3) fix permissions
should have worked but if not the case then il be more than happy just to put a package together for you. on GSM but im sure gallery really doesnt differ much. just let me know if ya need it pal..
Yup after installed it i have changed the permission in the apk in app/data ..
After reboot, it seems nothing change
What should i do?
I meant fix permissions in CWM.. also shud be system/app. just attach gallery here n il send package.. then u can fix permissions and should b fine after!

1) place zip on sdcard
2) reboot in cwm
3) go to cwm main menu, advanced > wipe dalvik cache (upto u)
4) go back to main menu > install zip > choose zip > then pick zip file (ignore the message about home launcher whilst it is installing.. just using zip as template basically)
5) go to main menu > advanced > fix permissions
6) reboot (if you wipe dalvik cache will take a little while longer to reboot) and you should be good to go!!
P.s - just do backup to avoid anything going wrong! also put in alternative one which is with the gallery i use.. dunno if it matters that im using GSM or not though. just uploaded incase u have no luck with the first 1.
best of luck pal!!!
ya this is what i done previously. i have tried it all over again exactly with ur guide, but it still never ne installed =(
i think i m going to give up n wait for the ICS from moto and i will et back my gallery there
really thanks for ur help very very much!

Install root explorer
Navigate to your sd card and long press the .apk file, select "Copy"
Go back, navigate to /system/app
Click "Mount R/W" at the top of the screen
Paste the .apk file
Long press the app you just pasted and choose "Permissions"
Change every permission until it looks like the pic I posted.
Reboot - Your gallery is back

Download the zip file for .69 for xmp rooted here and extract it. In system there must be the textinput-tng.apk. Just copy to system, change the permissions with root explorer or some other to the permissions of the other apps there and install it. Reboot and should be fine
Um,thanks....but do I need to flash everything once again.???cant I just get the mini pro keyboard app....

No, don't flash again. Just download the rom on your pc. You extract it and you will get a system folder. In the system folder, there's an app folder. And in the app folder there's the "textinput-tng.apk". You take this and put it on the sd card of your device. Now you use any root explorer and copy it to the phone /system/app folder. There you install it. Check if there's written rw-r--r-- .
If it is just reboot and it should be done, otherwise do these steps:
To do this the system has to be mounted read/write.
Check out these screenshots (in the right corner it has to say mount r/o that you can edit system apps, not like in my screenshot r/w)

And check out it is like this:

Download the package mihahn gave the link to.
Extract the .ftf file from the package with 7zip or winrar or similar archiver program.
Open (not extract just open) the .ftf file, use 7zip or winrar again.
Goto /system/app/ and find textinput-tng.apk.
Move that to your SD card.
Then use a file manager on your phone to move textinput-tng.apk from your SD card to your rom's /system/app/.
Reboot and you should have the keyboard working.

There's no ftf to extract. He only should download the zip file from this post (the one for xperia mini rpo 4.0.2.A.0.69 - flash via recovery) and extract it using for example 7zip or winrar. There's just a system folder inside, which he has to open, open app folder and do it like I explained in Post #4!
Because there's no ftf
But wait, did you mean hardware keyboard or onscreen? For hardware do same and if it doesn't work try this fix
Sorry my mistake, I didn't realise that particular download was just folders and I thought it was an .ftf file as that's what I have been downloading from that post.
Thanks mihahn...I was talking bout the on screen keyboard..this should do the trick.
Nice. Screenshots also...thanks.

Go to the system folder and check these permissions as you saw in the screenshots, if they aren't like that correct them.
Reboot and go to system>apps>International keyboard and after that you clear data and clear cache.
Reboot and should be done!
Btw hit thanks if my posts are helping you
Edit:: If you say it was all empty, which explorer do you use? Use root explorer (paid app) or use ES File Explorer, I think they can change permissions...
Im using root explorer...but all the boxes were unchecked.another thing,I just noticed that the portrait onscreen keyboard force closes evrytim I try to type anythin....

[Mod] Remove E911 Icon With No Gaps

Just as the title suggests this removes the e911 location icon from the status bar and doesn't leave any gaps. Wasn't gonna make a separate thread but it appears that quite a few people are asking questions regarding it in the other thread. For those curious how I did it all I did was grab the LocationController.smali file from the AT&T S4 and put it in are SystemUI and compiled.

If you are on an odex build then you need to rename the SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odex.back before flashing.
For those that want the white battery and data indicators just flash this (works for odex and deodexed). http://goo.gl/HHQHt
Any shot of an ODEX version?

You could try something like this to odex it yourself http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879128
Since you only changed the smali, we should only need the .odex portion once that is done, correct?
I would love an odexed version of this as well. I did try to do it myself but failed.
Just flash a deodexed ROM. I won't mess with odex.

This version works fine on odexed roms. Your entire System doesn't have to be one way or the other, as long as you first remove the original odex file. I installed it this way and it works fine.
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv SystemUI.apk SystemUI.apk.backup
mv SystemUI.odex SystemUI.odex.backup
exit
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app
adb reboot

I figured it would work, I can update the zip to delete the .odex when I get a minute so that way you don't have to do it manually.
One problem with this ... If you try to push in regular mode it says access restricted. If you try to push in Shell SU it says device not found. Thoughts?
dumb question, just rooted fully stock rom is deodexed right?

Stock ROM (as in, from the factory) is odexed. So, this mod won't work without following the instructions a couple posts back.
you could use a file manager that has root like ES to delete the .odex file too.

How do I remove this file? I'm having a bit of trouble. I found the file with ES File Explorer, but I can't rename or delete. I also don't see any setting to change read/write properties. Any guide for a noob like me?

Go into ES settings and enable root (dont use the app so dont remember how exactly). You might run into issues though as I think ES has some conflicts with the stock kernel.
How do I exactly rename the file? Where is it located?

You have to use a file explorer with root access, then go to /system/app, find SystemUI.odex and rename it to SystemUI.odex.back

Do I need a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP) to apply this mod? Or do I just need to be rooted and follow the additional odex instruction in the OP?
Thanks!
Could we manually replace the file using Root Explorer then reboot? Won't that do the same thing?

We all know that one of the reasons for rooting is to be able to get rid of bloatware......
But what if you've deleted the wrong app by mistake?
How do you get it back?
You *could* re flash the firmware or download the firmware, extract it and try to locate the missing app from the extracted files.......
Wouldn't it be easier to be able to simply get hold of a copy of the app and push it to it's original location?
Hopefully the links below will help you do just that......

System>>priv-app apps

Just download the relevant zip, extract it, push the required app(s) to its/their correct location, set permissions (rw- r-- r--) and reboot.
These apps have been ripped from the Touchwiz 4.4.2 ANG2 firmware on a G900F.
I don't claim any ownership or copyright over them, I supply them 'as is' for legitimate use in replacing mistakenly deleted apps in firmwares, and accept no responsibility for any problems caused by using them.
They will work with Touchwiz KitKat firmwares, but I can't vouch for Lollipop or newer as I don't know if Samsung changed their firmware framework in any critical areas with the newer firmwares....
The only apps I haven't included in either zip are those connected with knox.....but let's face it, nobody wants them anyway....

Can we expect a lollipop version soon?

Probably not for the forseeable future....unless somebody else provides it......at this time, I'm not contemplating upgrading my device to Lollipop. ...I run a few UI mods and at the moment, lollipop has broken (some) of that capability.....
Ripping those apps is pretty easy anyway.....
All you need is a rooted S5 running lollipop and an app like Root Explorer that can change the RO status of the app directory to RW......
Then all you do is copy the apps (without the odex files) into a folder on (for example) external storage and (optionally) zip the folder......simples
If somebody wants to do that, I'm more than happy to host it on my AFH....(with credit/mention given).....
Edit....downloading lollipop from sammobile now (give it another 24 hrs and the download might have finished) at that point, I'll see if it's possible to extract the apps from the firmware tar....
If it is, I'll upload them to AFH and post a link.......although I won't know for certain whether they should go in System>>app or System>>priv-app.....
Having said that, if a member needs them the chances are that they'll also know which directory to push them to....
Edit 2......
No joy....downloaded the firmware, was able to extract twice (zip to tar, then tar to img files) and couldn't get any further.....
Tried using 7 zip on my pc and 7zipper2.0 on my phone.....

do you have any solution if we accidentally delete the odex file too. I made backups of the apk and odex but repushing them back didnt work. Any ideas?

The odex file should 'regenerate' automatically the next time you re-boot.....
I'm sure you've seen the 'Android is Upgrading' message appear when you boot up after a factory reset, or during the first boot after a rom flash......
This is what is happening when you see that.....The odex files being generated....

Did you change the permissions on the apk file before rebooting? (Need to be set to RW- R-- R--)
If not, you need to do that......then delete the odex file you pushed into the directory and reboot....

Im using ES File Explorer so i set MOUNT R/W / and /system to RW to be able to replace and delete the files. Then i set them to RO and reboot.. no luck.
Im guessing thats wrong.

No....that's not setting permissions, that's just changing the read/write status of the directory you're working in.....
You are correct in that you need to set it to RW before you start though.....
Try 'long pressing' on the app in question and see if a dialogue box appears....If it does, look for 'permissions'.........
I use Root Explorer, so I'm not sure how ES File Explorer does things......

The messages app crashes. Never mind it works.
The dialer and contacts app don't seem to work on the US models as it causes acore error and crashes.
