Did you go through the whole process of registering your google account again when it first booted? Did all your apps remain?

Backup your contacts manually first to external/internal sd before trying anything.

U batch restore only user apps right? Also do u have Hotmail app installed. Its known for this error.

Which CWM are you using? Advice you to ONLY use Philz CWM or TWRP. And yes you can backup to External SD.

It should be the same. Just watch out for roms that had done their own tweaks to the systemui. And there is a difference between simplistic and normal systemui

It's easier and safer to use vrtheme method to change to png file for different roms than to change the whole systemui

I meant the systemui with simplistic mod active is different from normal systemui so just have a good backup.

If i am not wrong you can vrtheme the xml file as well.

Also u can make flashable zip of the ori systemui.apk so if something goes wrong, u can just flash the safe systemui and there is no need to go through the long restore/reflash rom process.

I will post a simple tutorial when i have the time later or tomorrow. Not easy to type on mobile.

Look for Devil kernel on xda. It support n7105 and aosp and it have mdnie tuning like perseus.

Turn on, set a timeout and you can wake your phone by touching/tapping the screen. After the timeout, your phone goes into deep sleep and touch wake cease to work until the next time your screen turn off.

Turn on, set timeout to 0, you can wake your phone by swiping across the screen. The phone will NEVER go to sleep and you can always wake your phone by swiping whenever you want. Power button becomes obsolete. This is called swipe to wake.

If you mean LED notification light, i think Devil cannot adjust it.

I see that some of you have already started making n test zip files. It's good to explore as you learn faster. So just to recap.
1) CWM zip is just a zip file. The important things is what is inside.
2) It comes in 2 important part in the zip - The Meta-inf and the things you wanna flash.
3) The easy one is the things you wanna flash. It have to be located in the correct folder location as your phone. Example: Systemui.apk should be in System (as a folder) -> App (as a folder) -> Systemui.apk (the file you want to flash)
4) The meta-inf is what determines the zip file does. Inside this folder you will find the following files and folder
meta-inf (as a folder) -> com (as a folder) -> google (as a folder) -> android (as a folder) -> update binary & update script (both important files)
5) Update binary is a standard file that is not of your concern. You can just rip it out from any latest zip file that you know is working
6) Update script determines what the zip file does. Basically is a script of commands. Use it to edit in PC, i recommend using Notepad++ (This is not the Notepad that comes in your PC) Google and download it, its freeware.
7) Depending on what you want to do, you need to put commands in the script and here is where any simple programming knowledge comes in. You can dissect existing update script and its not difficult to figure this out

Example of commands

You can google and look for more commands but for me these are sufficient to make simple flashable zip files. Commands for flashing rom especially with aroma is alot more complicated.

8) After you have all the files in place, just zip is normally on the pc. BUT make sure when you open the zip, it immediately shows the meta-inf and your folders.
Example: If you open up example_cwm.zip, you must immediately see meta-inf and your folders. If you open up example_cwm.zip and see a example_cwm folder then its wrong.
9) Sometime when you open up meta-inf you will see CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF. I still dunno what these are but zip files work as normal even without them.
10) The easiest way to do a cwm zip file without pondering into all this is to download any existing one that does the function you want and just take its updater script and put into your own zip file.

On the other matter of using vrtheme to replace png and xml files.

VRTheme utilizes a method where your own png/xml files are injected into the existing apk/framework thus there will be less chances of incompatibility. The easy way is just to download a theme that is already using this method. One of the notable one is this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183112

Here is what you will find inside the zip file
1) meta-inf this is the same. if you are recycling the zip file dun need to touch this as the script does not need altering
2) vrtheme folder

vrtheme folder
Inside here you will find 1 folder and some files. Your objective is this folder. As you are only injecting png/xml, NO apk files are included in this zip.

Example you want to modify the png in the systemui.apk. So the folder will be as follow,
vrtheme (folder) > system (folder) > app (folder) > SystemUI.apk (folder NOT apk, ensure the folder name have the ".apk") > res (folder, all these location can be found if you decompile / extract the original systemui.apk) > drawable-xhdpi (folder) > xxxx.png (the png file you want to change)

So its basically putting ONLY the png/xml you want to change into the zip file and NOT the apk.

Another good thing about vrtheme is that it makes a backup of the original apk before it injects. It can be found in /sdcard/vrtheme-backup.

If you are only changing the xml and png, let me give you another easier method that does not require decompile - recompile.

1) Get winrar (i use winrar, maybe other similar program will work also, i dunno you have to test)
2) Get ready your png/xml that have been edited with the correct file name
3) Open the systemui.apk with winrar
4) Go to the location of the png/xml (eg drawable-xhdpi)
5) Drag your png/xml into the folder
6) Winrar will automatically replace the file with the same name.
7) Replace the apk in your phone
8) Done

Or just use vrtheme, also no decompiling/recompiling.

Tar file. Seldom use but let say u got boot.img from a cwm.zip and you wanna make a kernel for odin use for whatever reason i dun know.

Fact 1: Tar file CANNOT be just tar using winrar or similar app. This is different as you need md5 infused in the tar to be able to flash.

What you need --> Linux machine
If you are on windows platform --> Google, download and install Cygwin

Now you need to run command in cygwin or your linux box

eg


followed by the following commands


Done now you can use this as a odin flashable tar file.

solsekuin44 Happy Teachers Day.

Yeah i know. Is the xml file visible if you open the apk with winrar? If yes you can just extract it, edit it and put it back in. This is not smalli or baksmalli file right?

Ah yes i get what you mean. The hidden files are called smalli and baksmalli. I really hate recompiling systemui, always got error one.

Try this way, decompile, edit the xml, if you fail to recompile, place it back in manually. See it works or not. Make a backup first.

heh, decompile also got problem. usually thats the easy part. which method you using?

Try clearing all old files from the apktool folder. I dunno what is the problem you facing. Try turn off antivirus also, maybe it remove some files it thinks is malicious. Seriously dunno

Or maybe your apktool not up to date. Try this guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719

Its new and in the android general section, so should have less issue, plus you can forward your queries there as well.

Why dun u just try to flash simplistic framework on top of wanam. But please reflash normal wanam rom (not 23 status bar) before trying.
