[How to] Beach & Windmill Live Wallpapers With No Watermark - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

If like me you really like the provided Beach and WindGenerator live wallpers but hate the Accuweather.com watermark in the top left, you can now remove this thanks to Rawat taking the APK files and making them available for other devices in the thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048939
Download them and, providing your Galaxy S II is rooted, using Root Explorer, go into /system/app and rename SecretWallpaper1.apk and SecretWallpaper2.apk and the two corresponding odex files to back them up then copy the two downloaded apk files into the same folder. Reboot.

Doesn't work on mine.
Crashes.. idiot didn't back up original. Can someone post secret wallpaper 1 apk and odex ..thanks

Ignore.. works after recopying a second time.

Changed first post to suggest backup in case something goes wrong.

Thanks worked for me as well.

Thx for the link it works fine!

I got bad battery life with these (was on KDD at that time, though). So, had to uninstall couple of days later and replace with the original ones. Battery life returned to normal then.

Thanks! Works perfect.

Didn't effect my battery life at all.

Just thought I'd bump this given that none of the new builds come with these live wallpapers to my knowledge. I have just put the apk files into /system/app on Cognition 1.5 (no need to replace anything like in the first post as they don't exist) and they work fine once rebooted. So I suspect they would work fine on any of the other new builds should you want these wallpapers back.

would it be possible to somehow disable all the updating?
i froze the accuweather because I do not need it. and I don't really want this theme to rain. i just want the beach.
is there a way to disable night&day as well?
all i really want is the soothing waves rolling in on the beach during daytime

Is there any way to do this without rooting the phone?
If i want to install it now, it just says it already exists and i can't override it.
Is there maybe one where you install it under another apk name.

[REQ] Gmail.apk Inverted (Black)

I've spend some time searching for a modded apk, but I've been unable to find one. From what I've read it's possible to do. (h**p://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/42629-how-invert-colors-gmail-apk-message-display-screen-3.html)
I just think it will be much more easy on the eyes and battery life with a nice black screen like the default email app.
I second this - I'm sure many devs would include this in their ROMs if it is ever created.
I think a customized version matching the black/blue touchwiz colors would be nice!
Black base with blue details. I'd use it! I can't wait for Froyo for the new Gmail though.
i really like this idea, devs we need this!!pretty please
+6 !
I'm going to have to second this one too... Black GMail sounds awesome especially on these AMOLED screens

haha. ya, what's next?

Agreed, that would be awesome.
I'll give this a shot this week. APK manager will make it easier but not guaranteeing any results.
Anyone feels like assisting on this pm me, two heads are better!
^I'd offer to help but I've already looked through everything in my realm of "knowledge"
I've found some xml files already that probably control it all but it might be simpler than that I'm checking tonight

Good luck!
If I had any clue how to edit the XMLs I'd offer to assist.
I guess some of these xmls weren't supposed to be touched. First attempt and I have no Epic for the time being. I'm doing what I can on the phone itself to avoid Odin, but that's next. I have to try another route that is showing promise. It might require a theme to work though because one way is to edit the colors in the framework that is inherited by Gmail. Once I'm back up and running I can see where I can push this.
Back up one nandroid was corrupt, the older one worked. Now I can see where I went wrong, don't expect any results tonight lol.
Here's where my two errors happened. I deleted gmail.apk with root explorer, phone did not like that. Bootlooped. I restored the nandroid backup that was corrupt. It didn't work fc everything once booted so I did a factory data reset. That fixed it to boot and run. Next I applied the modified gmail with an update zip. This crashed the phone worse. I am back up to where I was earlier today, I'm going to try a different signing method as well as making it's own update zip. If that doesn't work, the xmls won't allow me to edit so it will be up to me changing colors in the android framework.

This may help.
Are you working odex or deodex BTW?
Care to fill us in which framework files you are editing? I will play with this some tonight to, off work in 1 1/2 hours.

[Q] TW4.5Launcher Theme

Ok, I know there are a lot of threads with TW4.5 themes in the international GSII forums but I haven't been able to get any of them to work on our version...I was wondering if anybody had a link to something that has worked or the desire to port some of them.
I love this launcher, it's still got all of the functionality of stock TW but some cool features..so I'm trying to avoid going back to golauncher or LP to get a full theme...Really I just want to get rid of the darn Touchwiz icons in the dock, but one of the only things TW4.5 doesn't let you do is choose custom Icons. Anybody offer some help?

I'm not sure about the launcher.apk he linked, but for me all I did was install the manager.apk file and then find it in your app drawer "TW4 Manager", open then look under "check for updates & uninstall" then click latest stable version to get the newest one they have for release. Then you have to get to the launcher through the traditional channels (press home soft key, then if you're using a 3rd party launcher it will tell you to clear defaults (found in applications -> manage applications in main settings menu), or if using stock TW I believe it will just open up the typical window when there are multiple programs to complete the command, then click on the one you want)

Yeah, it's not perfect...but ultimately I'm surprised it's as good as it is considering the other options (LP, Go, ADW, etc.) that are probably a team of people doing full-time dev. I switched back to Golauncher EX because it's what I'm comfortable and it just used the screen better...smaller dock icons and better customization. I would love to keep some of the TW features though, and if there comes some nice themes for TW4.5 I'll be back.

Are you using Starburst Rom? If so, you may need to define which app is supposed to be opened with that button. If you are on starburst, go to menu, settings, lockscreen settings (at very bottom), overall ui settings, then click "long press search button app" and choose what you want to happen. Hope that's all that's wrong...I never had any unusual fc's on tw4.5 while I was using it.

Sorry about not responding sooner...been focused on the development threads and completely forgot about my own
I'm using LoStKernel Experimental and it has worked pretty well. I've been without a Loss of service since it's been installed (KNOCK ON WOOD). It's pretty quick and from what I can tell it does allow for overclocking. I'm not sure on this...but my SetCPU app says my phone has been at 1.4 GHz for a good amount of time and it must allow under clocking because it says I've been at 500 GHz for most of the time (that's my "screen off" setting).
Ultimately the under/over clocking would appeal to you for both speed & battery life. Stability might suffer a bit from this kind of thing BUT I haven't experienced any stability issues with the LoStKernel exp....that's not to say you won't because each piece of hardware is different and each persons app load and usage is completely different.
I have used the stock kernel, Zedo's 1.6 OC'd kernel, and most recently the LoStKernel, just for info.
Hope this helps!
PS - I switched to GoLauncher because I couldn't get themes to work either...so, yeah, I would suppose this thread is dead for the time being - but feel free to ask any other questions you might have for me & I'll try to get to 'em sooner. Subscribed now, so I'll notice.

Different beast. I think there are already a few TouchWiz launcher mods that incorporate this. However, I will look into it cause it interests me as well and it's much more fun doing it yourself =P
Hmmm....it does sound interesting. What files in those are actually changed? Is it swappable like theming is? I hate to trouble you for a zip if i can crack open my own files and just make the changes etc.

Plus if its something "basic" like that, then no need to wait for theme's to incorporate the changes as i can do all that in one shot myself as the new stuff drops etc.
Basically i want to know if i can frankenstein this mod into my current ROM on my own or is it above my skill set haha

Well the only way to do that would to bring over the classes which would cancel any java mods anyway. You could try dragging your theme over to systemUI, I can't guarantee it will work perfectly though. Worth a try
Updated OP with a 1x/3g compatible systemui
No worries, i am sure this will be incorporated across the board pretty soon anyways, just wanted to get bleeding edge. I sent Calk a PM to see if he had seen it, but patience is a virtue. Thanks again!

Just put the files on your SD card. Hold down the file > Copy, then go to the directories stated in OP, Hit the Mount R/W button, and paste. And then reboot
So, does this add toggles in addition to the stock ones? Will my 4G toggle and the other stock ones remain after these are added? Thanks.

Request:AOSP dialer

I'm starting to hate the stock dialer, it's clunky, the ui isn't intuitive, and things I do frequently take too many clicks. I liked being able to swipe between screens and just click on a contact to dial. I also liked being able to delete frequents and call log with just a couple clicks.

You'd have to port the aosp contacts to get the dialer you want. You can try the apk from another rom but it'll probably cc. Just make sure its jellybean contacts but you know that. You'll also need the contacts provider.

You were right, it's not gonna work.
not sure this is what you're looking for, but i'll share what i'm using just in case. i'm using graffixnyc's ROM on my SGS3 and pulled the SecPhone.apk and SecContacts.apk to use on my GN2. (the ROM link is in the Download Link in the OP). steps to copy to the /system/app folder on my GN2:
renamed (or backed up) the original SecPhone.apk, SecPhone.odex, SecContacts.apk and SecContacts.odex files.
used Root Explorer to push the SecPhone.apk and SecContacts.apk copied from my SGS3 to the /system/app folder on my GN2
on the GN2, i set permissions to rw-r--r-- for both files
reboot the phone
the pics below, show the dialer, contacts, contact view, contact edit and call logs windows. i edited the post to add the in-call screen with and without the dailpad (last 2 pics). as you can see, the dialer is usable, but it's slightly misaligned. so far, it's been working for me without issue. fyi, phone has to be rooted ...

not sure this is what you're looking for, but i'll share what i'm using just in case. i'm using this ROM on my SGS3 and pulled the SecPhone.apk and SecContacts.apk to use on my GN2. (the ROM link is in the Download Link in the OP). steps to copy to the /system/app folder on my GN2:
renamed (or backed up) the original SecPhone.apk, SecPhone.odex, SecContacts.apk and SecContacts.odex files.
used Root Explorer to push the SecPhone.apk and SecContacts.apk copied from my SGS3 to the /system/app folder on my GN2
on the GN2, i set permissions to rw-r--r-- for both files
reboot the phone

definitely not my work. all credit goes to graffixnyc. you can thank him!
Looks like themed stock, I could be wrong.
The aosp I'm looking for only has 3 screens, contacts, log, and dialer. You can swipe from screen to screen, you only need to click on a contact to dial, and clearing your log and frequents only takes a couple clicks.

It's definitely a themed version of the stock dialer. Has the AOSP look with TW features.

Did you ever get an aosp dialer working?

Nope, I kinda gave up until somebody that knows what they're doing fixes one. I tried several times to port one in, but just won't work.

if you're referring to the dialer/contacts pictures in my post, it's not the go dialer. i have the black png files that i simply copy into the stock phone and and contacts apk files so the stock dialer has an AOSP "themed" look. i do this for every ROM i flash to my SGN2 and SGS3

(Also Android Kitchen im using on Ubuntu too and made my first Rom wondering how to use that to do extra things like making another boot animation of my choice)
Im using Rooted S4, SGH-M919, MDL, Wicked Rom

Are the bootanimations for aosp roms simple zip files? Or do then have to be zipped a certain way? I editted out the little circle under the Guy Faux mask that comes with the Infamous rom and I just get black screen on boot during the animation sequence. Without the edits the Infamous animation file works fine on aosp roms. But with my edits and rezipping the files it doesn't load at all.

They are simple zip files for AOSP. Make sure your picture file names are chronological. also check the desc.txt file to ensure it matches. as well as the part0 etc folders. there honestly isn't much to them, really strange how it wont display properly. and are you re-zipping, or simply drag and dropping the edited file to the zip?

I was rezipping. I will try just dropping the files into the existing zip.
I didn't change any of the other stuff like file names or anythinng. I just took the existing jpg's and edited out the part i didn't like and resaved them as the same file names.

what kind of format and compression were you using on the jpgs? Also, what program did you use to edit them? And what color depth?
Samsung Theme Designer seems easy but i keep getting a weird popup and cant advance to the next step

Windows Paint.
I wasnt doing anything more than adding a black box over top of a section of the animation I ddnt like. But I dont think that was the issue because I left some frames of the animation untouched and those didnt work either.

Lol it only took one picture to break mine. lol. i prefer png. But i think the issue i had with mine was something about layers. the kernel wasn't able to understand the image. Try using Adobe Firefox.

You should take video and make that into a boot animation!
Of course you'd never reboot your phone again....ever...
Good luck with the dentist. Do have someone take video of you leaving the office. From what Im told I was quite the entertainment for about 3 hours as the drugs wore off. I don't remember a bit of it. Though I kind of remember hitting on the nurse....

Yep feeling better today. And I got my bottoms pulled. They were impacted
And not sure if I actually posted it, but upload the pictures you want edited just zip them up. I'm pretty sure it's paint's save format that's breaking it.
