*UPDATE 4*:
Previews of existing themes are now viewable upon mouse over of the theme names.
*UPDATE 3*:
I have now turned this into a web based program hosted on my personal website. Things to know before trying it out:
-It will convert both old style themes (those with lockscreen directories instead of files) and new style themes (most themes).
-It will supply you with a download link to your converted theme and also a link to every theme that has been converted thus far. Check to see if your theme is already there before uploading it.
-Uploads and downloads from my server may be a bit slow, but considering how small most of these files are, this shouldn't be a major issue.
-The upload file size is limited to 8 MB. If you have a theme bigger than that, remove all non-lockscreen files from it and repack it before uploading it.
-The file name can not have any spaces or special characters. If it does, just rename it so that it doesn't before uploading it.
-The conversion is still not (any will never be) foolproof. There will be some cases where you'll have to go into the manifest.xml file and manually update the values that were overlooked. As it is though, it seems to fully convert ~90% of themes with no further work needed.
-If my website is not responding, send me a pm or post here.
-If you have any questions/issues, post here.
-Enjoy

*UPDATE 2*:
v0.2 attached! It now takes care of all the extracting and repacking for you. You basically just feed it an mtz file and it will handle the rest. This will currently only work with *new* style themes, where the mtz contains an archive called "lockscreen". The logic is the same as before.
*UPDATE 1*
The Perl script is attached! READ THE INCLUDED README!! If you still have questions, feel free to post here or pm me.
All I ask is that you guys help each other out- If you're able to successfully use the script, help out those who can't by converting any requested themes from this thread. And please share here any themes you are able to successfully convert! Let this serve as the official qHD converted theme thread. As always, have fun and enjoy!
The easiest way to make this work properly is to follow these steps:
1.) Download cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
2.) Run setup.exe.
3.) At the "Select packages" screen in the installer, search for "perl", click "Perl" to expand it, and then click on "Skip" for "perl: Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language" so that "Skip" changes to the version number, meaning it will be installed.
4.) Do the same for "perl-Image-Magick: image manipulation software suite (Perl bindings)", which should also be listed there under the expanded "Perl" section, so that it's version is displayed. Also ensure that the zip and unzip utilities are installed in the same way.
5.) Search for 'make' and select Devel->make (The GNU version of the 'make' utility) so that it too installs. You'll need this to install any modules in CPAN later.
5.) Click next and complete the cygwin installation.
6.) Open cygwin and, at the prompt type "cpan".
7.) At the cpan prompt, type "Install Image::Info"
8.) Once the Image::Info module is installed, you should be able to run the script without any errors.
Hey guys, I got tired of trying MIUI lockscreen themes only to find that they don't work with my Sensation (along with any other qHD phone). So I wrote a little Perl script to take care of most of the tedious stuff (resizing all of the images and calculating and replacing all of the x, y, w, h values within manifest.xml). This actually takes care of everything in some cases. For example I converted the Sense Ring lockscreen theme with this script and it was good to go in about 10 seconds of work.
But I want to make it clear that I will not be spending copious amounts of time fixing things that the script doesn't already fix. If it's something little, I'll try to fix it. Or if it's something big and I'm bored, I'll also try to fix it, but I'm making no guarantees!
I'm also looking into a way to automate the process by possibly hosting this script somewhere and allowing anyone to upload an mtz file and get the updated mtz back. If this is ever happens, it will not be foolproof, but it will be an enormous first step in any WVGA/HDPI -> qHD conversion. So bring on your requests!
*PLEASE INCLUDE A LINK TO THE THREAD OR WEBSITE WHERE THE THEME YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS LOCATED SO I DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH!!*

Fixed the last one first because it was requested by someone else too. Everything was perfect after the conversion except for the music controls. Spent a long time trying to figure out why and eventually just manually fixed it. Otherwise these are going smooth! I'll get to the rest tomorrow hopefully.
Well you made script to resize and changing values of mainfest for your phone
it will be awesome if you make script for mdpi devices as can use miui lock on it but resizing manually really time consuming

First one (7mui) attached.
Here's presenting stock Slimbean ROM with just 2 commits reverted which prevented users from adding the big menu button to navigation bar and SlimPie. Besides this, this is pure Slimbean without any modification whatsoever. I'm not a developer, in fact I learnt to install linux because I wanted the menu button so bad. I thought maybe I should share this with similar minded people. I'm going to upload updates as and when Slim team releases 4.3 updates as I'm not sure about the changes that would be made in 4.4. I won't be able to take any request as I am totally unaware of how to make any modifications, cherry picks or anything else. Hope you enjoy this ROM.

What statusbar mods are you talking about? This build is pure stock with just 2 reverts which enable us to add the menu button, apart from that no other change. The latest build was synced on 5th November, so maybe the statusbar mods were added later.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I guess you revert the change in framework-res.
In that case, you just need to create an update.zip which replace the old framework-res with your framework-res, and user only need to flash that file instead of the whole ROM.

What I mean is you still compile the rom, but only make a flashable zip of these two files and put it here. It would be easier for both you and me.
From the commit, I guess the two files are settings.apk and framework-res

No problem mate.
The easiest way is to extract your rom to a new folder, delete boot.img, go to system folder and delete everything except the two files you want to keep. (you must also keep the folder structure). Inside these 2 folders are only files you want to copy (in this case settings.apk and framework-res)
Then go to META-INF\com\google\android\ folder and use notepad to edit the updater-script file like this
After that, you can compress them as simple zip and flash via twrp.
Next time you can just replace 2 files, compress again. No need to edit updater-script

So what you are saying is that if someone or I can just extract those 2 apks and add to a flashable zip I have lying round and menu button will be added to normal slim?
Would have been quicker!!

^^^^LOL I agree... Sidenote its funny how many people can creates so much goodness with building or modding files but dont know how to create flashable zips... LOL

Hi all !
So, for you all, the user of SlimKat for L7 might encounter these signal bar bugs.
The bug is mostly (and most) noticeable bug in this ROM.
By following this guide, you agree to my conditions :
a. I won't respond to 'how to do it ?' and 'can you do it ?' or 'will you do it for me ?' question.
b. I also won't respond to 'how can I decompile .jars ?' and 'what is this ?' question, these questions can easily answered by searching Google.
c. No, I won't make a flashable zips for you, you've to do this alone. Because I want you to understand, 'what does happen if I do this ?'. So I want you to do this all by yourself.
d. Only use question for last resort (means, even by searching Google, you don't find answer to your problem)
After you read those conditions, here's the guide.
1. Decompile SlimKat framework.jar
2. Decompile other ROM (with working signal bar) framework.jar
3. Open smali/android/telephony/
4. Copy all file named CellSignalStrength and SignalStrenght from other ROM framework.jar. See CALIBAN's post for needed file to copy + screenshot.
5. Copy all of those file to SlimKat framework.jar (in the same directory, smali/android/telephony)
6. Compile SlimKat framework.jar
7. Copy modified classes.dex to original unmodified SlimKat framework.jar
8. Push the modified framework.jar to /system/framework (or add it to SlimKat zipfile)
9. Reboot (if you push it) or reflash SlimKAT, then wipe dalvik cache & cache (if you add it to SlimKat zipfile)

However for me, copying the classes.dex file to the framework.jar did not make any changes. But flashing the modified framework.jar in the build>apk folder did the trick.

So, I have put together an actual Windows program for a lot of Rom Builders. I used to build a lot of Roms, but really don't do much of it any longer. What I know though, is the tool I built is extremely easy to use and very effective. I thought some of you would very much enjoy this tool. It will also allow a lot more people to start theming and tinkering It has built in Draw9 support and will automatically detect what versions of Java you have and allow you to select which one you would like to use.
So I am going to post it here for now in the Note 4 forum for a few of you to install it and check it out. It will support many phones, if not all. All you have to do is make sure you have some type of Java program installed on your PC. The rest is all self-contained and updated.
The first thing you are going to need to do after install is to go into setup and setup the paths accordingly, to your liking. Once this program is setup it runs great. I have built it with threading, so it won't lag as you are working along.
I will post some screen shots for you all to check out.. I would use these as examples of what your environment should look like. Also, make sure you pull the system, from the adb options tab, from your phone as the first step before doing anything else, it will use the framework files as needed to work. This path is also where your deodex setup paths of originals should point to, the pulled files for app and framework.
Enjoy !!!

You just plug your phone in and wait for it to detect it.
From there you need to setup the program, look at the screen shots.

So basically whatever mods you currently have you then make flushable?
I guess what I am asking is should we Odin the stock base that's odex, pull the folders with your program, deodex it and make whatever mods?

So, I am assuming, you mean flashable. Look around for update.zip files associated with Android. You need to make sure you are rooted / dev edition in order to even pursue this. If you are then do some research on update.zip files and understanding our partition table for our phone or your phone, etc..
Wifi tethering unlock
I have my Note 4 DE ordered/shipped by Samsung. I have never used this program before, how easy is it to do your own Native WiFi Hotspot modification? Or is there any step by step I have missed somewhere? Basically, I am wanting to root, TWRP and then change a few things on my own.
Thanks!

Hey everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right section because it's been a long time since I posted a thread on this forum haha
In my opinion, the screen on our G5 is great calibration-wise, however it lacks a little bit of saturation, especially since I was coming from a Galaxy S4 before this phone!
So, I remembered a little thing from back from my G Flex 2 days, called KPPD and originally found on the G4 forums (original thread is HERE), that allowed us to edit the screen settings natively even on the phones that didn't have the options in the Display settings.
Since we finally got root on the H840 as well, I thought I may as well try it out and BEHOLD! It's working!
It's relatively easy to set up and tweak, even though there's not an app to edit the settings. However, the file that contains them (postproc.conf) is pretty straightforward.
I'm running stock Nougat on my G5 SE (H840), but it should work just fine on any Qualcomm-based devices.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE MISBEHAVES, BLOWS UP OR STOPS LOVING YOU, I TESTED IT ON MINE AND EVERYTHING'S WORKING FINE, BUT THERE'S NO WARRANTY THAT IT WILL WORK ON YOURS AS WELL.
GUIDE:
Download the attached zip, which is just the original zip, from which I edited the config file to better suit our G5, by only adding a little of saturation (original is at 255, I put it at 275 which IMO is the "sweet spot"; everything else is unchanged.)
Either flash it via TWRP or extract the two files from it and copy kppd in /system/bin, with 755 permissions (rwxr-xr-x) and postproc.conf in /system/etc with 644 permissions (rw-r--r--). Use any root browser for this.
Setup a script to run at boot, either via init.d or with Rom Toolbox lite (I use it)
The script is
Code:
kppd /system/etc/postproc.conf
To edit the configuration, simply open the postproc.conf file with any root text editor (I use Solid Explorer's integrated one) and tweak the settings as you like, keeping in mind that 255 is default in case you mess something up
I didn't actually do much for this to work, none of this is my work so please head over to the thread I linked earlier on and thank @savoca for his amazing job

Hey everyone, I hope I'm posting in the right section because it's been a long time since I posted a thread on this forum haha
In my opinion, the screen on our G5 is great calibration-wise, however it lacks a little bit of saturation, especially since I was coming from a Galaxy S4 before this phone!

Sì, o copiare i due file nelle rispettive cartelle

One quick question:
The script setup is only necessary if I put the two files manually or also if I flash the zip with TWRP ?

Thanks for responding me...:crying:
Nice way... but I think easier way is to flash custom Kernel (like Asgard) and use KCAL app

Yes but on H840 we don't have any custom kernel yet
is it possible without root? having h845 (G5se) is very bad since no method available to root it.
for example, can we push the files via adb? screen is too blue. please help.
