Deodex and Black Status Bar System & Framework Files

[AngDroid]

Droid 2 Deodex and Zip Aligned System & Framework Files

This is the stock Droid2 System and Framework files deodexed and zip aligned. This first of two packages that contains my Black (HTC) Status Bar Theme that looks like this. The next package will be the stock Droid2 deodexed and zip aliagned with stock status bar.

( Picture from my Droid2 Theme for Droid 1. Status bar is exactly the same. Too lazy to update pic )​

It contains all original Droid2 files so if you have renamed or removed files it will replace them. This includes all Droid2 widgets and bloatware. If you have removed or renamed files then you can rename or remove the files from the app folder you placed on your memory card so you do not have to go back after install to clean up.​

A couple of apk files have been modified so the status icon matches status bar better. I still need to fix up a few more apk files and will post them as an update.zip file.​

I will have a update.zip file soon so it can be installed with clockwork. If you would like to test it for me please message me to let me know.​

Old news...

Good edits to your post, much clearer now, thanks. Themes are usually posted in the ROM section, btw.

Honestly I had no problems reading it, was clear and easy to understand. I was going to deodex my phone today, this just speeds it up and gives me the blackbar I want so win win for me

This is more of a hack than a theme. The main purpose is to have a deodex phone. The theme came along for the ride since I was too lazy to fix up the default framework.

I normally would put themes in the Themes sub-forum section but we do not have one for the D2 yet, btw.

If you were that unsure about this being for the Droid2 after it was stated a few times you should have messaged me instead of crapping on my thread and getting it off to such a great start.

Is stock Droid2 and all original droid2 files that unclear...

You're welcome

so far its not so bad.. though would like the stock blur home launcher, which only way is via home switcher app but wont stick, can't put on the non-fusion launcher pro either

The update.zip does not work in clockwork boot recovery? Did you try to mount the system first before installing it?

Delete com.fede.launcher.apk from the system/app folder if you just want the blur home.

I'm fairly new to Android and I've been reading about Deodexing and it seems like something worth doing, especially since I just want to run off the stock-rom until most of the kinks with the bootloader are ironed out. That said, is there anything that Deodexing messes up? I'm waiting until you get the stock-notification bar up to do it but is there any downside here?

No downside besides that if you root you "void your warranty" but you can just flash the phone back with the stock SBF file to remove all mods you have done to it.

I will have the stock status bar package up some point today.

Thanks. I've rooted and been playing around with everything pretty extensively (setCPU underclocked when screen is dimmed, LauncherPro, bootstrap, ect). Just from what I've read, when most people have a deodexed ROM it is usually a custom one and thanks to eFuse I'm trying to be extra careful with side-effects. But that is reassuring to see that nothing wonky happens here.

Thanks for your work, I can't wait until the stock notification bar package is out to give this a shot.

Wasn't crap, was a concern...your original post wasn't clear to me, and just PM-ing you wouldn't have helped anyone else if in fact there had been a problem and they had done something before you responded...chill out, don't take everything as an attack.

Stock status bar is now up.

Stock status bar is now up.

I'm not seeing it, is it part of the package or is there supposed to be another download?

EDIT: My bad, I see it. Is the only way to use the Clockwork Mod or can I use the command line install for it?
