Animated Weather for Android
For Rooted Android Phones
I take no credit for the development of this app, it was developed by Samsung (I just added a couple of tweaks). I also take no responsibility for any damages caused by this app to your device.
That said, it’s an awesome animated weather wallpaper. Kind of reminds me of the old HTC HD2 animated weather. You can apply it to the lockscreen as well.
1. For MIUI roms install AccuweatherDaemon.apk first. Allow autostart and activate trusted app. Should this not work. Copy the AccuweatherDaemon.apk to the root directory System/app file using Root Explorer or any other root file manager. Tap and hold AccuweatherDaemon.apk then select Permissions; set the permissions the same as your other apps in the same directory.
2. Now install WeatherWall.apk file. If the installation does not work, copy the WeatherWall.apk to the root directory System/app file using Root Explorer or any other root file manager and set the permissions the same as your other apps in the same directory.
Now restart your phone
3. After the restart is complete, tap the menu button. Go to Set Wallpaper followed by Live Wallpaper.
4. Tap on Windy weather, select settings and then tap on Auto Refresh. Select None. (This will insure your wallpaper updates every time you activate your internet.
5. Now go back and tap on Set Wallpaper.
Initially I made this for my Galaxy S3 running MIUI ICS Rom.
I then installed it on my Galaxy Note 2 and Tablet 2 running on a rooted stock 4.1.2 rom and it works without any issues.
[THEMING -Basic] - How to EDIT
SystemUI.apk/Apps Background
Hi there! Just wanna share..
Just a basic background on how to theme your
ROMS. - ofcourse, give thanks to the
developer of your ROMs! .
I made this thread for those users who have
personal wishes for their Phones. Ofcourse, ROM
developers cannot please all of its users. so
just make your own and be happy!.
I just made it easy for easy understanding and
for the newbies.
Tried so many times and tested

different ROMs.

apk. - that's free.

extracting it for back up)
1. Download the ROM.zip and extract it to your
PC.
2. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res
\drawable-ldpi\
3. View the PNG files you wanted to change and
make sure to remember its' file name.
4. After editing/changing the file/image you
wanted, you can save it anywhere from your PC,
let's say on your Desktop.
- Make sure that the file name still remains as
is..
*After you're done editing, updating the
PNG files you wish to change, follow this
steps to update the zip file :
NOTE : You can apply transparency by editing
the PNG file to photoshop by reducing the
opacity of the image
1. Go to the original ZIP file of ROM.Zip from
your PC
2. Right Click the folder and select 7 ZIP -->>
open archive
3. Close all of windows/Browers (or minimize)
4. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res
\drawable-ldpi\ and it will open a new window of
7zip showing the files inside the zip.

downloaded png files (assuming that files are
located in your desktop). - Click and simply
DRAG the file(s) from your desktop to \system
\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ .
6. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will
replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to
change.
7. Make sure that the file name of the one you
edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
8. After dragging and replacing the files you
wanted, then you're good to go!
9. Close the 7zip window and that's it!.
You can now install the .zip by copying the
UPDATED zip file to your SD Card.
(Note: Make sure to copy the updated one, not
the backed up one)
Install the zip file from the original thread's
instructions and reboot twice.
After that, you have now a customized
systemUI.apk.
For those who do not want to reinstall
the whole package.. follow these steps:
1. I assumed that you have the zip file of your
ROM.
2. Extract it and go to \system\app\
3. Separate the SystemUi.apk - put it on your
desktop. create a back up,
Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->>
extract here - just to view the files you wanted to
change.
Just go the folder and search for the PNG files.
4. Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP --
>> open archive.
5. Go to \res\drawable-ldpi\
6. Click and simply DRAG the PNG file(s) from
your desktop to \res\drawable-ldpi\
7. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will
replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to
change.
8. Make sure that the file name of the one you
edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
9. After dragging and replacing the files you
wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :
1. Download and install rootexplorer.apk
2. Download the png files you wanted to update.
3. Copy and paste the NEW SystemUi.apk that
you have updated/Edited to your SD card.
4. Open root explorer in your galaxy y then go
and tap MOUNT R/W.
5. Go to \SDCard and go to new SystemUI.apk
that you have updated.
6. Long press the file and select copy
7. Press back and go to \system\app - tap
MOUNT R/W at the top.
8. Paste the new SystemUI.apk from there.
(Note : You will encounter a lot of force closes
for the exixsting systemui is currently being used
by your phone. - just ignore it a lot and scroll
down to look for the new SystemUI.apk.
9. Once you get there, long press on it and select
permissions:
from the pop up, make the checked one like
this :
•___•____ •
•___ .____.
•___ .____.
where Dots are the checked one - Bigger dots
After encountering a lot of force closes, then
reboot the phone and that's it!
(Force Closes are normal, DON't PANIC -
logically, you are currently using your
systemUI.apk so just ignore it
NOTE : You can also apply the same steps in
editing system files apps, just edit the .png files
and locate it using 7zip(when you already opened
it). Have a little LOGIC on how to edit system
app background - same process. just different
apk files and directory

This method works fine with Popwiz telstra roms and maybe for all ported roms.
We need:
1)SecSetting and SecSettingsProvider apk from stock s5 roms DEODEXED;
2)Note 4 hidden settings from play store;
3)Finger hovering from play store;
4)root browser or others;
5)My files;
6)My files to flash;
OK now...extract and paste my files in system/app and flash my other files to flash and reboot;
-Go to system/priv-app rename sec setting and sec setting provider adding .bake or .old after the string .apk (SecSetting.apk.BAK);
-Copy SecSetting and SecSettingsProvider in the respective folders and rename in SecSetting2 and SecSettingsProvider2 .apk and reboot;
-Go to finger hovering app and enable hovering:
-Go to note 4 hidden settings app and enable the gestures that you prefer;
REBOOT AND YOU CAN SEE ALL GESTURES(AirGesture,AirView) IN BROWSER,GALLERY ETC
If you want,you can add also the toggles as SmartPause and AirGesture using Sqlite editor app from play store;
And if you want to have the SmartPause feature you must delete ZVideo in system/priv-app and copy the Sec Video and Sec Video player from a s5 stock rom DEODEXED.
After this reboot your phone and ALL works fine
At the the end you can copy your SecSetting apk to have the classic s6 settings (unfortunatly some s5 settings crashs)
Quick Check and air browse Musik Player Not work
Unfortunately no but in browser gallery and video player yes
More than 290 views....mmmh come on guys if you like my mods hit thanks
where can i find SecSetting and SecSettingsProvider apk from stock s5 roms DEODEXED?
Search in forum about stock rom alexndr could help you
