[Ep4D][Rom][Cwm][Odin]TweakStock v1.5 UPDATED 4/10/12

UPDATE - see here for an EP4D update - Tweaked 1.5.


Over the last month or two I decided I would take a crack at learning some things, and so far it seems to have progressed nicely. Given the sorts of things that I tried to figure out, posting something that summarizes the culmination of said learnings seemed appropriate. If nothing else, I figured some would find it nice to have a little more variety as far as ROM choices are concerned. That being said, what is posted here is essentially stock EP4D, with some bells and whistles thrown in - and a pretty face thanks to stranula. Thanks also go out to skydeaner on IRC and gunnermike53 for offering up some server space for files.

I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE! As an additional disclaimer - I still feel as if I am pretty new to all of this, but this has worked for me and a few others that were kind enough to try. That being said, as always YMMV.

I'm not entirely sure what the best way is to set this all up, but here's a look at what I did to get to this point. I started with the deodexed/zipaligned EP4D posted here, then attempted a debloat. then attempted a debloat. I haven't done much of that sort if thing prior to this, but it seems to have gone okay (and I welcome suggestions on what else should be or what should not have been removed). That being said, in case there is something missing that you wanted I included a .zip of all the deodexed /system/app apks in the download section at the bottom of this post. Then, using the work done on Infinity, GummyCharged, and Eclipse as examples, as well as various guides found on xda and information found through repeated Google searches, I began my attempts at modifiying a number of files. This was quite the learning process (smali is equal parts comprehensible and baffling), and while I am unsure if the methods I ended up using were the best choice, the end result was they worked, so I was happy. See the changelog in post 2 below for a list of the ends such modifications achieved.

If there is anything you would like to see (or wish wasn't there) on this list, let me know. I can't promise I'll do anything about it, but such requests keep me motivated and learning - and thats the whole reason this ROM came about in the first place (it all started with figuring out how to modify the power menu).

You will need to have either CWM (version 5.0.2.7 can be found here, but earlier versions like 4.0.1.4 will work fine as well) already on your phone or ODIN already on your computer, and I would strongly recommend doing a data wipe/factory reset within CWM before flashing either of the CWM .zips (that's what I've been doing at least and I have had no problems).
Also - I am no longer bundling my repacked kernel in anything, as I have found the 0130 PBJ kernel to be far superior. If you choose to use the repacked kernel, MAKE SURE voodoo lagfix is completely disabled (i.e. /data, /dbdata, /cache, and /system all need to be rfs, i.e. NOT ext4) BEFORE flashing!!! For those interested, the experimental repacked kernel is essentially JUST THE STOCK EP4D kernel - with 2 edits that deal with how adb interacts with the phone and speeding up the media scan at bootup. That being said, go with the PBJ kernel. Seriously.

MY GENERAL RECOMMENDATION:
ODIN back to stock EP4D BEFORE you flash anything. It just makes for far fewer problems.

CWM Installation instructions:
- Backup your current setup/data
- Download file and place on sdcard
- Boot into CWM recovery
- If flashing full ROM package, wipe data/factory reset (Recommended - not necessary depending on your situation I suppose)
- If flashing v1.1 patch, make sure to ALREADY BE ON v1.0 and wipe cache/dalvik (again, just my recommendation)
- If flashing v1.4 patch, make sure to ALREADY BE ON v1.1 and wipe cache/dalvik (again, just my recommendation)
- If flashing experimental kernel - you better not be ext4!
- I recommend mounting /system (so it should say "unmount" after system)
- Install the .zip you put on your sdcard

ODIN Installation instructions:
- Download file on to computer and unzip it (w/ 7-zip or the like)
- Put phone into download mode
- Connect phone to computer (assuming all is well with the drivers)
- Open ODIN (I have been using 1.83)
- Place the .tar.md5 file in PDA!
- Flash away

Create 14 scrollable quickpanel toggles
Disable low battery notification
Remove clock from statusbar
Extended power menu
build.prop tweaks
A bunch of others that have become buried in my browser history...

---CHANGELOG---

Version 1.4 - 2/4/12

- Added in TweakPapers thanks to gunnermike53 - some nifty wallpapers
- Changed the transparency in Mms.apk to slightly less transparent (with help from stranula)
- Cleaned up the underlying code of a number of toggles that were misbehaving
***** While it works fine, flashlight still needs to be addressed somewhat
- Added end-user options for hiding various icons in statusbar - see Notes below for info
***** Bluetooth
***** E911
***** Vibrate/Silent

***** Confirmation alert when USB connecting phone to PC
- Custom carrier text option - make your own instead of choosing from my choices (credit to TSM for a model to follow on this)
***** Requires reboot for change in pulldown to take effect
- Rearranged Display Settings to hopefully make the new options seem more organized
- Volume rocker no longer wakes phone when lockscreen disabled
- Custom shutdown animation (credit to various threads and Infinity for images and information on how to implement this)

***** To change, make sure new boot animation is saved as sanim.zip and place it in /system/media/
***** JaeKar99 has made some AMAZING ones that can be found here
***** These come in varying formats - see the post by bvsbutthd101 here for some quick tips on how to approach things

- Added in imnuts's CWM recovery to one of the ODIN variants (found here)
- Zip aligned

Just to keep folks in the loop - Yes the plan is to update to FP1. I'm still pretty green all things considered so the process tends to be pretty slow. I actually had an update ready to go last week, but then FP1 started rolling out so I held off for the time being. Gotta love timing

NOTES:
While I am unsure how relevant it is now, I have encountered an occasional odd issue in the past with CWM after flashing that seems to require adb to resolve.

• The issue is that after flashing and then booting into recovery, I occasionally get a "can't mount /sdcard" error. Apparently that in itself is a known issue, and it is listed as such in the CWM recovery thread.
  The fix requires you to perform the following commands using ADB:
  
  
  Code:

  adb shell
  umount /sdcard
  rm -f /sdcard
  mkdir /sdcard
  exit

• If you do not have ADB installed and you are having the "can't mount /sdcard" error after flashing - I have a possible workaround for you. Download the ADBsdcardFix.zip here - then extract the folder (should be fine to extract it to your desktop) and attach your phone to the computer via USB (I did this while the phone was already in CWM). Open the newly-extracted ADB folder, and then double-click on the CWMsdcardFix.bat - something should pop up on the screen for a brief second, which is completely normal. After double-clicking the .bat file, on the phone go to mounts and storage, then select mount /sdcard - and it now should work!
• Either approach here (adb code or the stuff in ADBsdcardFix.zip) has worked every time I have needed it, although again in my experience I have not been able to cull the rhyme or reason out of when that need will present itself.

The statusbar tweaks all require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot, BUT for most there are other ways:
- Move statusbar clock -- get screen to rotate
- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)
- E911 -- Go into Settings > Location and security... you don't need to do anything else, you should see the change
- Carrier text -- Lockscreens change automatically, but the pulldown only changes with reboot currently
