Hi @ all,
i have an question. What do i need for customize my LG O2x.
Such as MadaCo and others.
Are there any programs for this?
Well.. it depends how far you want to go... to really customize your phone you need to do a few things first, like unlock the bootloader and change the recovery software.
Its certainly not for the beginner as not only will it possibly void your warranty you can actually brick your phone if you do something wrong.
I would advise learning as much as you can before you try anything. Read all the guides about unlocking , learn what a recovery image is, learn what kernels do. Learn it all.
There are a lot of ways to customize your phone without risk. Look at changing your launcher with ADW launcher or Launcher Pro first.
Alot of us here know these phones backwards and know the risks we take putting custom firmware on.
I would learn as much as you can.
With Android it is totally up to you. Without doing anything "tricky" you can change your wallpaper, home screen applications, notifications... or try the advanced stuff and have an experimental ROM with an overclocked kernel. It's all up to you - no need to ask Steve Jobs' permission
For example kernel programming or patching. Theme programming and so.

Never used tools like apk edit and so on.
Probably you think it's a lot easier to than it really is.
Especialy the kernel stuff.
You should start programming a few apps first, after that you can go hacking other apks.
Then learning C and all the linux stuff.
That is with this apps. In my opinion are this apps for customizing android. And for kernel develop i will use linux. So i need the sources from lg and kernel or?

if you need any help with future verzions of this rom, i can help you if you want.
i also do light theming too, so if you want a themed status bar, lockscreen icons, etc in your rom, i could cook it in .
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
downloaded, did the wipe and tried to install. said it wasn't verified. so i turned off verification and am installing it this way, ill let you know how it goes.
installation was successful. everything seems to be working.
one question to the forums, and i hope i dont offend the OP, but if the ROM is not signed, and since i had to install it without verification, does this mean it is more likely that the creator has added something "bad" to the ROM? Again, im not trying to offend you OP, just gotta make sure you know.

You know what would be cool. If someone made a lockscreen using the stargate. And you had to dial a stargate address to unlock the screen. That would be awsome.

Even if its signed there is a possibility of something bad, as you put it. Anyone could create a key and sign it. I don't believe there have been any malicious roms but that is what the community is here for. I'm sure ppl smarter then myself disect everything in a Rom to make sure nothing is malicious. Props to OP will be testing tonight.

In the end, theres really not too much one could do to watch for "bad stuff." I don't even know what bad stuff you'd be looking for though, keyloggers? If theres one of those, all you'd have to do is double check the input section to make sure it's a legit IME. Other than that, ATK would help you look for anything else.
The fact of the matter is most of these roms just aren't signed, unless you're building from aosp, or you take the keys out of the rom that you're modifying.

Since this is by far my favorite alarm app, I was wondering if I could use it on any ROM. I guess if it depends of stock frameworks, it's dead, right ? or any way to do it ?

You need stock framework for any of LG's apps to work. You can mod your framework to make it work if you really wan't it.

the fact is, I'm not a dev and don't even know anything related to the linux world. too bad. could I simply unzip a framework then add libraries or something or do I have to compile and sign ?

Hi,
I've seen some people requesting just a clean, rooted stock ROM, without any other alterations. Recently I've started to play around with dsixda's Android kitchen and figured it's not that hard to build a zip from a generic .195 with just root added. It can also be deodexed to allow for theming.
If there's enough people to say "Yes" on the poll I can release it in the next few days.
I know I don't have a lot of posts so you might be wary about flashing something I've built but I've been on these forums for years, read a lot and have experience flashing lots of devices, including Galaxy S (II), Archos 80 G9 and several HTC WinMo devices.
After getting my Xperia T I became interested in removing the T-Mobile branding so flashed gregbradley's Assaye-V0-0-3. Then I removed some more bloat and added back the Skyfall theme, built it using the kitchen and flashed. So now I have my "own" little ROM which works brilliantly.
And of course I would test the build myself before releasing it.
Definitely interested in this ! Hope more people will answer the poll !
Yes please! I like to give Sony a chance before I ditch their stuff and so far I'm loving the Sony experience. A clean untouched ROM with root access would allow me to keep that experience but allow me the freedom to make my own tweaks!
Clear rooted stock ROM
I really enjoy the experience of UI of a Stock ROM and I would love to keep the same features and design + gaining a root access to get full experience of certain apps like Airdroid & Avast. Can't wait for your working clean, rooted stock ROM
Hope you will launch the tx version!
Keep going
Sent from my LT29i using xda app-developers app
ya of course, we will wait for that
but please release for Xperia TX too.
thank you very much, dude
I think I'll have a build ready tomorrow.
About the TX, I can't test it myself and I'd have to look into the differences. Maybe later.

Well, I haven't and this isn't really the thread to ask that
Sorry people but it may take a little longer than I thought. I could be in way over my head with this. Had the build ready after some trouble with updater-script and update-binary from the kitchen so replaced those with the ones from gregbradley's V0-0-3. The flash went fine, root works and I haven't had any issues except the big one that wifi won't turn on. I know greg had the same problem but he took his fix offline from the topic so I can't see what the problem is exactly. Don't really have the time right now to do further troubleshooting.

Building new zip right now. But there's already a symlink wlan.ko pointing to /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko? So why doesn't it work?
The rooted rom is ready but I see that greg already beat me to it :$
Could've said something...
Well, I'll go ahead and make a deodexed one.
Unlike gregbradley I will put in a superuser app, namely ChainsDD's, just for ease.

I am sure once TiMiN8R has deodexed the rom for the T he will do one for the TX. Its only a few updater files that need changing to make one for the TX.
In the mean time you could try my TX deodexed rom, I am still looking for confirmation it works properly. follow the link in my signature.

No harm, no foul. To me this is more about the learning experience than getting a ROM out or anything.
My deodexed build goes into a boot loop and adb doesn't see the phone so I have no idea what's going on. Could have something to do with the playstationcertified.apk that can't be deodexed?
For now I'm focussing my attention and limited time on the T, since I can use those efforts for myself but I'm not ruling out releasing something for TX some day.

No its not to do with that, That would not deodex for me in the kitchen either, I just left it odexed.
What else did you do in the kitchen?
Nothing. I used the same working directory as the rooted Rom, which works fine. Deodexed and build (zipalign, make zip, sign). Tried reflash but with same. result.

hmm, maybe you need to edit the updater script again. Not entirley sure but I started completely from scratch on each of the builds i did.
Saurik, the long time developer of iPhone's jailbreak apps (Cydia, Winterboard etc) has released two apps today for Android systems, Cydia Substrate and Winterboard. Winterboard allows you to use ANY kind of theme (CM themes, Apex themes etc) on stock ROMs without having the required custom ROMs or Launchers for it. Just install Cydia Substrate, do what it says then install Winterboard, then you can install any themes, activate them, then just hot reboot then phone and voilá! It's a great thing IMO, very nice work from him.
Here you can find the apps you need (both free):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.winterboard
Root access needed, and not every themes work yet, as they are still in beta phase.

I tried it and I'm absolutly not conviced by these 2 products.
I installed them as described by you and the author several times on a Stok ICS (because I think is that one wich need most theming help) and I experienced lots of FC, freezes and lot of strange behavior (like : re-asking for my Google ID logon).
I tried to use some CM10 themes for experiences but after to many problems I lost faith. So I gave up.
Anyway thanks for the head up.
i tried it too and it's not working for me, only a laggy device and i can't change the theme i don't know why

Maybe you'll have better luck with cm9 themes on stock ics rom than cm10 themes. Check out the mega cm9 theme chooser thread for the list of themes
I'm not responsible for any of this. This someone else thread and development.
I'm simply posting a link for those who would like to play around with this.
Most of these are apks that will show up in under settings/display/front touch buttons/color. For your choosing.
I have tried pretty much all the softkeysin this thread (that are not girly) and have had no issues what so ever. Proceed on your own. I'm not responsible.
All credit goes to those that made these apps and mods in the thread I'm linking you to.

I would love to do this, but not having a custom recovery makes me leary.
all these are just apk's that you download and use what ever file manager you prefer and click and install. you dont have to replace any apks or modify anything. so due to that its pretty safe if softkeys apk doesnt work then in settings select another softkey theme and use your file manager to delete the one that doesnt work

You can download and install them. Tried it by myself and i'm stock, not rooted and no custom recovery installed!
All you have to do, is download what you want, install as normal apk (don't forget in settings-security to active 'unknown sources').
After you installed them, in the settings-display-front touch buttons-color you find them.
If the 'original' appear on homescreen, just deactivate 'transparent background'.
Sorry about my English.

Thanks for that. Yeah I've been trying to explain this is safe. Not a mod just normal apk's. I probably should have mentioned in the OP that you don't need root. And hey I learn something new everyday I.e. disable transparent to get them to show the new soft keys on home screen. I didn't know that. Thanks.
