New Theme Motorola fire

To apply this theme, as in screen shots,
Copy files inside app to /system/app/
And files inside framework to /system/framework/
enjoy :)
Hope it fits your rom, if anything weird happens with the text or strings in your phone display
just copy the drawables from my apps to your apps

For the font, i'm just using comic font, you can install it by using font installer from playstore :)

Add reboot options Motorola fire power menu

This tutorial will show you how to add " reboot - reboot recovery - reboot download " options to your phone's power menu, the menu that shows up when you long-press the power button

-Download this file: android.policy.jar and this one too framework-res.apk
-Put them inside "/system/framework/" folder

It will work correctly on global rom, and maybe Chinese rom too


if it's not working correctly, restore your old framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar back

then decompile framework-res.apk
add these strings to strings.xml in the very end.

<string name="global_action_reboot">Restart</string>
<string name="global_action_reboot_recovery">Recovery menu</string>
<string name="global_action_reboot_download">MBM Flash-mode</string>

then add the needed lines in public.xml like here:

<public type="string" name="global_action_reboot" id="0x01040c93" />
<public type="string" name="global_action_reboot_recovery" id="0x01040c94" />
<public type="string" name="global_action_reboot_download" id="0x01040c95" />

The public ids may differ from device to other according to framework
And by pubic id i mean " 0x01040c93" for example..
you have to change the ids according to the last number " <public type="string" name" you see then add the three lines with the three consecutive public ids
publice id can contain numbers from 0-9 and letters from a-f

hope you understand :)


And i need a developer help me port another options to power menu
for example SCREENSHOT, mobile data, wifi, bluetooth.

Motorola fire tips & tricks & mods

To reveal some hidden features of motorola fire series phones
The file "setting.xml" which is located in "/hidden/data/CDA/" have too many bools
bools are settings that take value of "true" or "false"
For example:
when i opend setting.xml with notepad++ i scrolled down and found this line

<SETTINGS_FONT_SIZE_ADJ_OPT>false</SETTINGS_FONT_SIZE_ADJ_OPT>

When i changed the value from "false" to true, and pushed the file with ADB to the phone,
A new option appeared in the settings application inside the Display section, that allows me to change the overall font size in the phone UI
This option is already activated in china SBF, but wasn't activated in my global SBF

Also, there are numbered values that you can change from 0 to 1 or vice versa
For example:
when i was still scrolling in the same file, found this line:

<SYSTEM_UI_STYLE_ID>0</SYSTEM_UI_STYLE_ID>

and this line:

 <ro.SYSTEM_UI_STYLE_ID>0</ro.SYSTEM_UI_STYLE_ID>

When i changed the "0" in both of the lines, and pushed the file to my phone
now i can clear all notifications in my statusbar by tapping clear button
OR I CAN CLEAR THEM ONE BY ONE BY TAPPING THE RED MINUS BUTTON NEXT TO EACH NOTIFICATION, it may be a little new feature but it's effective and very useful in my opinion.

Those was two examples for all the great stuff you can do by only one file :)
