Default [MOD] Trailblazer101's EC09 Everything Mod -Spearoided!!

I asked Trailblazer101 if he could modify his EC09 Everything Mod for our Continuums to several specific requests of mine. A bunch of requests

And he delivered!

I've long struggled with his mods affecting homescreen respawns on my phone. I use LauncherPro. Thanks to a great post by TXWolf1980 I took his advice and used Rom Toolbox to eliminate all kinds of unnecessary processes that were running automatically. Now I can use TB's mods and I see no difference in my phone's performance.

So, this flashable .zip is Trailblazer101's EC09 Everything mod with the following modifications/additions:

1) Ticker History button now requires a long-press too, like the weather button. Now, nothing can be executed from the standard Ticker screen without a long-press!
2) Long pressing the ticker history button after loading up ticker history puts the ticker into sleep mode. And now sleep mode is completely blank. Also, to exit sleep mode, you have to long-press the clock area. This means the 5 shortcuts to Browser, Market, etc are no longer present.
3) When the SMS icon in the Ticker is present (showing unread texts even when they're aren't any) you can now clear the icon by long-pressing it. If you use a 3rd party SMS app and still want your ticker to show incoming texts, you've been frustrated having to load up the stock SMS app to eliminate the unread text icon in the ticker.
4) The icons for the TW toggles on the pull-down menu and the status bar icons have been replaced with ones I designed with a blue theme.
5) The clock and date are now centered and the clock is the same blue as seen in the icons.
6) Long-pressing the search button is now recognized and configurable for such things as Voice Search or Quick Composing texts.
7) Weather and Ticker History icon are blank by default.

There is a feature that is not mainstream and I'd actually prefer it be undone for the masses, but I think Trailblazer101 is very busy with other things now. I asked him to make the long-press of the weather icon load up my RealCalc calculator app since I don't use the weatherbug program. As such, if you must have the weatherbug program and its functionality in the Ticker, you are not going to want to install this mod.

Major props to Trailblazer101 for doing all of this for me. I absolutely love the way my phone is set up now! He has been SUCH a help to the Continuum community. I don't know how to do it, but if I figure it out, I'd love to add a link to this post for thanking Trailblazer101

Well that's great news! Glad to know you're still alive!
If you want to re-create the Spearoid mod without the Realcalc tweak for the Weather icon, I'll edit the OP to point to that file.

Is there anything in this that we can extract and use?

I realized I actually had the wrong set of icons in the file I linked to. They were simply the wrong color blue. You may have noticed the lighter blue in the signal icons not matching the blue in the TW toggle icons or the Ticker clock.

I've updated the OP with the proper link. THIS is what my tweak of TB's mod was supposed to look like!

I dont know if you even read this forum anymore but you state the weather and ticker and blank by default which isnt the case for me. While the ticker icon is blank the weather icon is still showing. Any idea why?

Edit: I feel like an idiot. Just after posting I remembered I set the weather app up before removing it. I went and removed the location and the icon vanished. Thanks for the awesome mod!

I've finally reached a place of contentment with my Continuum!
