Instructions:
need full root [see here]
Install Xposed Framework[http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401] and install the framework in it
Use the Xposed Installer app and install Serajr Xperia Xposed for jb[http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.serajr.xperia.xposed]
Enable the module in xposed installer and reboot.
In the installed Serajr app go to System -> Enable customisation -> Enable "Super User Mode".
now use any explorer with root option[recomended: Root Explorer or ES file explorer] ...goto system/vendor/overlay and delete android-res.apk...now Reboot again.
Install theme
Go to Personalisation and apply theme and reboot

hit thanks if i helped you

One more perfect thread from you bro...
working nice in my mobile....
Thanks.....

Hey @ansebovi. Great thread bro, but you might want to add the part where you delete the files in system/vendor/overlay, to fix the problem with the volume bar. But other than that, well done bro.

Glad to know that people are working hard over here, and I've somehow helped too!!
Great thread... keep rocking buddy... \m/

[MOD][ANY PHONE] LongPress Volume to Skip tracks

Since there are many people asking for this mod which is available on CM9/10, I was searching a bit and finally got it working. It works on any ICS/JB rom but I havent tried on GB. Thanks to rovo89 and stole38. Make sure you are following all steps correctly because if not, your phone will be stuck in a bootloop. OK, here we go ! :fingers-crossed:
Requirements:
1) Root
2) init.d Support
3) Brain
Installation:
1. Download this APK file and install it on your phone (Xposed Installer) HERE
2. Download this second app and install it on your phone (Xposed Tweakbox) HERE
3. Open the Xposed Installer and press Install/Update. Wait.
4. After installing the framework, press Soft Reboot. The phone will reboot and might boot longer than usual, dont panic
5. After the phone has rebooted, open the Xposed Installer again and go to the Modules tab.
6. Check Xposed Tweakbox. And exit the Xposed Installer.
7. Open the Xposed Tweakbox app and choose Miscellaneous from the menu.
8. Check Skip tracks with volume keys
9. Exit the application and reboot the phone
10. Enjoy !
NOTE: It works only when the screen is off (locked).
Awesome, just what I was looking for
Any bugs?

Nice!
I can confirm that it works on stock .55 :good:
The tweakbox app says it can also enable the cool CRT screen off animation but i havent been able to get it to work, it says 'you need a special version of libsurfaceflinger.so to use these effects'
Any ideas where i xcan get the 'special' version of libsurface flinger.so??
Thanks for any help
Yes,.i will upload soon

The libsurface flinger.so file (library) is not compatible with out NXT devices causing them to restart and enter bootloop once replaced in system/lib (library). It can be only done in CM9/10. Will try to port it these days, but i dont promise anything.
Works in XTXperience 9!! Thanks bro!! :good:

[Q] 4.3 CRT effect zip?

I posted a topic some weeks earlier, but it derailed fast and then died out.
Anyway, is there a way to add the CRT effect using some .zip that is flashable through root explorer or CWM? Is there a way without Xposed?

I like my OS to be as minimal as possible... Installing some Xposed app for that CRT effect isn't what I would like.
Anyway, please stop derailing!

AFAIK, there is no other method to get crt effect on stock 4.3 for xperia m. There might be some 4.3 roms that have that effect, but you will have to check that out yourself. Or you can wait until someone makes a mod for it.

Well, just curious: how do you install Xposed with GravityBox? Preferably link me to a thread, because I don't see any thread on these forums related to Xposed.

No no no. You install xposed framework and from there you can get gravitybox

It's pretty simple, you download and install xposed installer and then, using that app, you install framework to your phone. Reboot, and then you download gravitybox for jb from xposed installer(it has sort of download centre that allows you to easily find and download modules), install it, activate module in xposed installer and reboot your phone. Then you can modifxy whatever you want with that gravitybox app, most things dont require reboot to apply changes, but some of them do. FYI, you can also try xblast tools module if you don't like gravitybox for changing screen off effect.

Don't be scared with warnings that gravitybox needs aosp roms to work, it works fine on stock xperia rom.

[Help] Themes not applying porpely (with fix applied)

Hi, I have a problem, the themes downloaded install properly and everything but they don't apply correctly.
For example the SciFi theme only changes the wallpapers but not the switches, navbars, colors...
Currently the ONLY theme I tried that is applying correctly is the Spider-Man 2
I tired Rock On, Sci-Fi, Xperia ManUtd, Hearts (every possible in the Sony Select)
I have the fixer applied.
I have deleted the apk's from /system/vendor/overlay but with or without them it's not working. (I saw this in some post that if you delete them it fixes the volume buttons slider when theme is used like Spider-Man 2

after applied, reboot your phone
Bro did you installed the themes directly from sony select/ play store or did you install them through apk's?

Download xposed framework, install it. After that download Serajr Xperia Xposed module and, after activating it, open it, go to system, and enable customizations. Reboot your phone. You might still have issues with volume bars. If you do, remove android-res.apk from system/vendor/overlay.

No, there is no problem with odex rom , I flashed the runtimeskn.zip and deleted every apk file in system/vendor/overlay and cleared the data and cache of google play store and play services and the themes are working absolutely fine for me whether it's from sony select or xda threads. :good:
