Please check out this thread and say thanks to the man!

Simply put, get script manager ads from Google play.
Add this script onto your SD card.
Browse as root in app, locate the script press the skull and cross bones.. IE superuser mode and run the script...
Damn its bloody quick!
I've added the script to bottom of this post in attachments section for easier access, all u have to do is click the link. right click on page once its opened and save as. don't change the name or anything, then copy the txt file to your SD card.
once you run this, follow the guide it gives...its brilliant and will override all v6 scripts installed on any rom!
But i will not install this as stock, reason being, u can redo this script at anytime and change it further at your own desecration. so please don't ask for me to do it!
Here something to speed things up instead of Setcpu....
it was made for me awhile ago........its called perflock.
Idea is it sets the phones CPU speed to set values...so you don't have to.
Its proven to work on my phone...been using it for ages now....
But.....it is made for the UK handset.....as my max is 800, i know some euro based models have 1000 as max....so please...before you try flashing this...back it up....I hold no responsibility for anything going wrong, you have been warned!
A simple way to see if this is working grab a CPU monitor widget....just to leave on your home screen to watch it.
You will see your phone respond faster...battery life will be better as well.
Flash this zip in recovery.....DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING! just flash and reboot
> Perflock.zip
Original Wallpapers for all roms is here. Copy and paste into the customize folder as they are and reboot.
> Original Rom Wallpapers
Known Issues....
NON all sorted so far!
Disclaimer
Standard dribble.....don't come crying if u fudge it up....simple..you take this risk yourself!
If you wish to use my rom as part of your own please ask first!
PLEASE ASK BEFORE U BORROW/ADAPT THIS ROM FOR YOUR OWN WORK
DO NOT MIRROR MY LINKS.

I ask for tests and feedback to find errors, all I ask iis try it.......find errors etc, posy em up.....then rrestore your own till I rectify it again.

Version 4 requires a good hearty trial run!
you're the next dev here, you can count on us, to test your rom, and to share wht do's and dont's.

.. waiting for the next stage, mate.
nice work bigbear! and what about the oc kernel is it gonna release or might take couple of days and months

Att: is only for MIUI V4 ROM.
Hi there, i just found it from the MIONE rom from MIUI AUSTRALIA and so i am sharing this with you.
This is an Xperia style keyboard theme to mach the MIUI V4, with many languages and fully customized.Flash in recovery,reboot and activate the keyboard from the language and input settings.
Also the zip contains the modified and fully MIUI themed Genie widget themed based on the new Miui Weather widget which is useless outside China. Note that there is no app icon, ONLY WIDGET (which gives you access to the app anyway)
UPDATE 26/09/2012
GOOGLE NOW is updated to latest version and it is fully MIUI themes with the app icons included.
*To use the Google Now, simply remove the latest update of Google Quick Search Box and reboot.
Download in attachement

Bad download?
Wait? Is this for Android 4.0 and above? If so, you have to write it in the title of the post! Good work, though...
Hi guys!
I made a simple debloat script for 2012 Variants that are still running on 4.1.2. But will be working out soon with 4.3 once the official update from Sony comes out.
Just flash the zip via CWM (not yet tested for TWRP). No fancy graphics on this.
Credits goes to DaRk-L0rD for making the tutorial so simple and easy to follow. :highfive:

Updated upload link on OP
The first link was removed due to status 6 error. New link created on OP.
The ff. apps were removed to make more space:
Youtube Plugin
Youtube Karaoke Plugin
Everything Twitter (coz I ain't the gossip type of person, no offense to the others since this is just my preference)
Crash Monitor
Talkback
Liveware Manager
All Chinese Keyboard Skins
Japanese Keyboard
PicoTTS
Weather and News
Foreign Exchange
Live wallpapers
Default browser (no reason to keep 2 browsers since Chrome is better)
and Retail Demo (I don't work in a concept/retail store)
I have apk version 5.0.65352 and widget version 6.0.766395.
The apk crashes and I can't get the widget to come up in the install list, only the Manage apps list.
Has someone the correct versions of these that I can install? Or is there no longer an OEM calc with KK?
So hello guys welcome to the guide to how install google pixel launcher working and tested bug free.
So lets get started,
Required:
1. Any Android 5.0 + device
2. Working internet
3. Rooted ot Non rooted [ works with both device]
So first let us understand what is a pixel launcher. Pixel launcher is a launcher which is used in google pixel devices. Running on android nougat. So if you ever see it its too amazing launcher ever. I have also tested and its bug free. In earlier verison it was only working with android marshmallow device. But now you can use it on android lollipop cheers to google for bringing happiness to lollipop device users. So you can easily enjoy pixel style to your device.
So this process doesn't require root so non root users can use it without worrying about warranty loss or any damage to your device proceed to the installation guide.
So its not a different app normally install it as you do with other app installing but keep unown source ok in your device. Also make sure that install wallpaper app before because if you dont you will get error pixel launcher stopped when you try to change the wallpaper that beacuse wallpaper app is the theme manger of pixel launcher. So if it not installed app will crash while changing wallpaper. Also make sure download latest version from the link. But dont download this version of google pixel launcher named as :
Pixel Launcher O-3743572 (READ NOTES) this version of app is used in android o preview. So this app will not work on lollipop devices so try older than this app.

2. Wallpaper app by Google:

Don't forget to hit thanks if you like this. Thank you.
Pixel icon issue.
But remember all this will make your device look like pixel not everything beacuse you app icons remains the same. So if you want to change them same as pixel you need android 7.1 device it will not work on lollipop or marshmallow device so of you have nougat device then just download this and install it as normal apk. You are done this app is a offical app not a clone or dummy or my own app so if you have any problem you can ask me i will reply it ASAP. Thankyou
