i saw this over the Nexus S thread, and thought it would be awesome if we had the Recent Apps on a click of a button, but not by holding the Home button..and since we don't use the Search button (at least i don't) , we could remap it so it could show the Recent Apps..
so.. here is the MOD : [MOD][19 JAN] Search key to ICS recent apps [add CM9, AOKP and Peter Alfonso version]
and the HOW-TO : [HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
i tried to make it myself, but i couldn't, so i would like to make a request, or a little help for this MOD

The first link is a flashable .zip, did you try it yourself? I feel tempted to... It's for IML74K so it should work I guess.
The second one is just the instructions on how to do it ourselves, I might try this tomorrow, right now I need some sleep.
So is the flashable zip usable with the teamhacksung ics version?

Or you can just remove the assertions from the update scripts. It seems to work, but it messes up some framework assets, as I was expecting, see the screenshots.
I'll see if I can the file from our build, decompile, make the changes and then recompile but I'm pretty new at this stuff. For instance.... do I have to sign the file to be able to use it, and how do I do that?
and yes, it works beautifully. having the app switcher just one tap away makes this a true multi tasking device to me. You will lose this button functionality though, so if you depend on it this won't work for you.

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.

this is the lock screen mod for the just leaked JL5 firmware
install with clockwork
choose the deodex zip for custom ROM's like the Rom's produced by
Eugene, Master, TeamWhisky
if you flashed with Odin / Heimdall then chances are you want the stock zip
the source zip is for devs looking to port the mod to other ROM's/Phones
NOTE: framework-res.apk is a little bit larger so make sure
you have enough room on the system partition to install

Fix to Get Rid of the MMS Notification in your Call Logs
Apologies about the brief post earlier today, was at work and a bit of a hurry. Here is a more detailed method.
This was created from the JS5, i9000 source, but has been confirmed to also work on JS7 and KB1.
This will not remove exisiting notifications, but will stop new ones from popping up.
I do not take credit for the original fix, my source is listed below.
Clockwork Flashable zip file below to apply this fix, the steps are listed because I was asked for the process, but if you just want the mod, just flash the file at the bottom of this post.
This assumes you have knowledge of apkmanager or apktool to decompile the apk's, and notepad++ or another way to compare and edit the smali's. Those are lessons for another thread.
I happened upon this thread this morning over in Vibrant Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988929
Which led me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853177 (Go Hit mammon88's thanks button)
-Grab the LogsProvider.apk from the Epic thread, second one linked, and decompiled using apkmanager.
-Move that file somewhere else, maybe even rename the folder, you won't need it again, and it will be the example folder/files.
-Take the LogsProvider.apk from your rom, and decompile with apkmanager or similar program.
-Inside the decompiled apk, using the one in the apkmanager folder here, not the Example Folder, browse to \smali\com\sec\android\provider\logsprovider, and open the LogsProvider.smali with notepad++ (that what I recommend using)
-Now from you Example Folder, drag the corresponding smali file to notepad++, and it will be in a new tab.
-In notepad++, hit Plugins->Compare->Compare, and the differences in the files are highlighted.
-Recreate the edits in the example to your main file, and save.
-Recompile the apk being sure to delete the classes.dex in the process.
These steps may/will work for comparing and editing other files, but be cautious. I didn't go in blindly and say "Eureka" on the first differences I saw. I compared every smali and xml, being cautious in editing, and got lucky on my first shot. Thankfully this apk only has a handful of smali files, first one I've ever decompiled that had less than 40. If you follow my steps, don't hold me responsible if it doesn't work, especially if you failed to make a backup.
The zip below is flashable via Clockwork Recovery. Backup as always, cause hey, it happens.

Thats interesting. I thought that Bionix 1.3.1 was KB1 (Android 2.2) based. Well hell, as long as it works, although be on the lookout for the odd issue or two, as this was sourced from the European i9000 JS5 port, and is all I've tested it on. Thx for the confirmation.

Here is original flashable zip provided by tantrums:

Only LGhome3 with themes.

What i've changed in my version:
Removed search bar
Added Weather Widget.apk
Download - 42 Mb
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is version proposed by Soleiyu:
Enabled search bar
Added Weather Widget.apk
Download - 42 Mb
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we can discuss this topic in proper place
And this is how my little-modified version looks (you can easily change any icon on homescreen by long-tapping on it, then again on some brush-like thing, and then choose needed icon)
thanks!!! i was looking for it!!! i've tried before my own way pushing the apk extracted from repack but it doesn't work... i hope this one really work!
Will these work with CM10?
Think we should try to port the lockscreen, since it is really nice, but I ve never ported anything, so maybe anyone with time and the knowledge can give it a shot. Dont know, if it's just about to also push the app and chmod it, or if there are serious changes needed for it to work. But I think we would at least have to mod framework a bit...

it depends if the lockscreen uses files from framework or if it is a standalone apk. Haven't played with ICS or JB ROMs yet since I'm waiting for a stable or for an official stock from LG.
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 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.

No doubt, I had been trying to get them to stay using the g2 tweak box, and I couldn't do it. That is a simple solution.
