Blacked out status bar - Sprint LG Optimus G

This is not my work. I did not create this. I only attempted to make it work on stock zvc odex.
Thanks to Scotty_Two for originally creating this for deodexed zvb roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198755
Adhvanlt helped me to get it to work on my locked but rooted lgog.
Since the release of the zvc update, it didn't work anymore. I loved the look, so I decided to sit down and redo what was done before. This time I was unlocked, but still needed to create an odex file for it. So following the steps I did before with adb I was able to make it work on my stock odex zvc phone.
The link to the zip file is below if you want to try it out on your phone. Again, this was done on a stock ROM.
Install at your own risk
I am NOT responsible for any damages or any bricks.
Make a nandroid backup before using.
Copy the stock LGSystemUI.apk and LGSystemUI.odex files from /system/app folder to your sdcard in case you want to revert back.
To use:
Download the zip file
Extract the files.
Copy the extracted files to: /system/app folder
Change permissions on both files to rw-r-r
Reboot
Enjoy
This is NOT flashable

I tried it on the stock rom unlocked and it works great. Well done. It only takes about two minutes to unzip and replace the original files in system/app. Btw, I would move the original files to your SD card to keep in case you want to go back to the stock look.

Sorry I don't have a flashable version as I don't have the knowledge to create it. If someone wants to either show me or do it, have at it. But a quick swap with a root explorer takes no time at all.

I installed this onto the optimus ROM. I extracted the apk from the deodexed original Scotty_Two thread and pushed it into system just as it says in Scotty's thread and it worked on reboot. Just over write and when system starts failing just reboot FTW.

newbie questions

Hi all,
I have 2 questions.
1..
difference between deodexed and odexed?
2..
If my evo is already root and nand unlocked. Do I need to follow toast part 2 every time when I want to install a new rom? Please advise.
Thanks
Jeff
1:
From Berzerker @ droidforums.net found via Google:
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.

2: No, you don't need to reroot or re-nand-unlock. Once it's done it should be done, unless the ROM is a stock/RUU ROM and removed root, or you've updated over-the-air and the update removed root, or someone screwed up their ROM and made it remove root (people will generally find out and post about the latter ASAP and it will be removed.)
Great,
so what would be the best step? update.zip then apply new rom? or I'm off?

No need to update.zip. If you've already rooted and have nand access, just copy the ROM file to your SD card in it's .zip format (leave it with it's default name so you know what one it is.)
Then turn off the phone, reboot while holding the volume button to get to the menu, then go to recovery.
I always perform a Nandroid backup, especially if you're at a "default" ROM right after root/nand. So Nandroid, then go to wipe and just move down the list wiping everything. Then go back to the first menu, select Flash Zip file from SD Card, select the ROM you want to flash, let it go, and reboot.
Edit: Oh yeah, make sure you remove that PC36IMG.zip file from the SD card before doing any of this.
Awesome!
One more questions,
What is OTA update? I think I'm supposed to update to 1.47.651.1?
and radio update for 2.05.00.06.10 WiMax update?

buddies app??

ok any one know of an app like the buddies widget that came on the stock phone. that was one of the few features I liked. thanks
Found the .apk from an old thread. Doubt the widget changed from Froyo to Gingerbread.
Use a file manager like Root Explorer and push to /system/app. You may need to reboot afterwards.
Thanks tried installing with astro and apk installer but neither would work. something must have changed
Hmm, well try the BuddiesNow.apk from this zip file. You can pull the apk from the zip or flash the entire zip in CWM.
This zip file originated from the CleanGB rom thread.
I am running clean gb rom now what all does this include
never mind i followed the link
and thanks

[Q] Stock SystemUI

Can someone load up a stock GSM 4.0.4 systemUI? I put this mod on my phone last night that was suppose to ONLY be a battery percentage mod but ended up changing all my UI buttons. I hate it. And like a dumbass, I didn't backup before I flashed it.
So if anyone can upload a zip file of the stock 4.0.4 systemUI that I can apply via CWM would be great. ( I have the GSM nexus so I need the systemUI from it a verizon or sprint UI wont help me)
Thanks!
Hi,
Here it is:https://rapidshare.com/files/500812190/Stock_SystemUI.zip
Sweet! Thanks so much. I shouldn't need the systemui.odex file should I? If I do could you load that up for me as well?
Re,
Heu...You're on a stock rom rooted?Or a custom rom,which one?
Because,yes the SystemUI.apk I've posted is from a stock rom but deodexed...
Awesome. It works. I gave you some thanks.
Re,
Ah ok,good to hear!
I answered,but were answered at the same time ,but it works,so...
Im on stock rom. So it should have been an odex. But i flashed it in CWM and everything works fine. I had always though that if you flashed a deodex on an odex ROM it wouldnt boot, but it seems eveything is fine.
Re,
In case of issue,maybe test this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514576&highlight=odex...
Just for re-odex your SystemUI.apk?I've tested this on a deoxeded rom with no issue,but on also an odexed rom with just an app deodexed,I don't know...Backup before,if you want to test
I do not know if I was clear...?
Instead of trying to re-odex the file, why not just grab it directly from the stock image?
Download the factory images from here, extract the system.img from within, convert it to an .ext4.img by using this and then (for Windows users) use this to mount the .ext4.img and extract the file.
Know you've learned how to grab any file from the stock images in case you mess up any of your files...

[MOD / HACK] - Fully enable native wifi hotspot AND native Bluetooth tethering

All credits of this hack goes to electron73 from THIS post.
Thanks to DrDrrae for the CWM zip
This will remove all entitlement checks on the native wifi hotspot app and will enable the native Bluetooth tethering option which was removed by at&t.
*** I take no responsibility if this process bricks your device. please read the process CAREFULLY before attempting this***
***THIS IS ONLY FOR I747UCALEM BUILD. THIS WILL NOT WORK ON ANY OTHER BUILD AND WILL PREVENT YOUR DEVICE FROM BOOTING***
This process will prevent your device from booting if something goes wrong. Please make sure you do a nandroid backup BEFORE you do this. If you get stuck you will be able to restore.
What you need:
1) rooted device on the UCALEM build.
2) CWM installed
3) The below CWM flashable zip
How to install:
1) Do a nandroid backup - this is a must as we don't have an ODIN restore yet.
2) Download the below modified flashable zip and place it on your internal SD.
3) Reboot into recovery and flash the zip file
4) Done
5) You might need to re-login to your google account after doing this,
If your device does not boot after changing the file, restore from a nandroid backup and you should be fine.

NEW: Link to CWM flashable zip with Cell standby fix: http://www.mediafire.com/?vsepya1lkgud8nt
Enjoy!
Wouldn't it be easier to just do this all through CWM with ADB? Thus no force closes or anything.
EDIT: As I look at the instructions on the original post, he states it's easiest to do it that way also. I'd recommend simplifying such and just doing the instructions for CWM. This will reduce bricks, though if someone can make this into a CWM flashable zip it would be even easier. Live modding files isn't always the best thing to do.
Those instructions are
1) Boot into CWM
2) Go to Mounts and Storage
3) Mount /system
4) Start following the instructions from 4

What you need:
1) rooted device on the UCALEM build.
2) root explorer or any other file manager with root access.
3) The below modified framework-res.apk
How to install:
1) Do a nandroid backup - this is a must as we don't have an ODIN restore yet.
2) Download the below modified framework-res.apk and place it on your SD card.
3) With root explorer go to your SD card and copy the framework-res.apk file
4) Navigate to /system/framework. Mount the file system as RW
5) Rename the current framework-res.apk in this folder to framework-res.apk.bak and quickly paste the framework-res.apk you have copied in step 2 (this must be done QUICKLY as you will get tons of force closes making your device unusbale so copy the framework-res.apk file BEFORE you rename the current file so you will be ready to simply paste the new file right after you rename the current file)
6) After you have pasted the new framework-res.apk you will get a lot of force closes. relax. reboot the device.
7) the device will boot and you will have free wifi and bluetooth tethering.
8) you will need to re-login to your google account after doing this.
If your device does not boot after changing the file, you have done something wrong (probably not copying the new framework file fast enough). restore from a nandroid backup and you should be fine.

I was not able to get ADB working with our version of CWM.
If someone can make this a flashable ZIP that would be perfect. I don't know how to do create one.

Ah ****, you are right....ADB doesn't work through CWM.....didn't notice that. Just a slight niggle. Either we need ADB working through CWM or get this as a flashable Zip.
Here's a CWM flashable zip.

I think that only happens if you push it while the booted in Android.
Flashed to my I747. Worked like a charm. All three (USB, BT, Wi-Fi) tethering working well.
Flashed to my I747 and it worked great, tethering is working great.

Zip disappears

When I try to flash a new Zip file, it disappears from the directory, both on SD internal and EXTsd card.......Goo manager FC and Rom manager says it's not there?
Any ideas to check for?
Re-installed Goo.im, Rom manager, still no luck.
Is there a way to manually Unzip and install without rebooting in recovery?
Tried to fix permissions, got "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands."?
What are you trying to flash?
Also, if you constantly moved from TW to AOSP, you were supposed to flash the zip to restore your SD card AFTER you flash the TW rom. This may be your issue as starting with android 4.2 Google added multi user and moved your files to a folder named /0 (or legacy).
Most of the time I had issues with not locating the zip it was due to this error. My recommendation, download and move the file to the root of your extSD before going in to recovery.
Also, remember Goo.im downloads are saved on the gooim folder in your internal SD card, not the downloads folder.

Thanks. Haven't run any roms on this one. Running stock and rooted with Aviate. I've tried dloading directly to extsd, transfering from my laptop to extsd and SD.
I was trying to flash the Dark Ink lockscreen v2 and 16 ink lockscreen. I'm stumped.....I was able to flash Bravia Engine, Exposed Framework, Multi-Window Mod......it's just the Lockscreen zips. And the only reason I was doing it was because I wanted the ink to work without the S-Pen.....Not that big of a deal I guess. It has to be something simple I am overlooking...
EDIT: Fixed....sort of.... It wouldn't install from any other folder than the CWM Backup folder?? If anyone has an idea as to why, I would love to know?

Alot of your problems are because you're trying to flash mods on a stock odexed system. If you want to flash rom mods you need to flash a rom that is deodexed. Basically a stock just rooted system breaks up the app in your system. This allows faster boot times. An deodexed system compiles the split up apps together. This will allow you to flash mods and easily modify your system. When you flash a mod you replace the original app. If it's odexed you don't replace the whole app.

Thank You. :good: I thought I flashed the "Stock_rooted_deodexed CALK7," But I used the "back to stock thread" which includes the Odexed version, and what you're saying makes sense.
I live, I learn.....:fingers-crossed:
