The (Almost) Ultimate Toolbox


For a while now, Hadron, InfernalByte, Rastaman-FB and I have been collaborating on a joint drop box. We have been uploading things we think would be useful to have to hand to help people having troubles.

Although it is still pretty much a work in progress, I feel I should create an index of the things we have put together so far, from my dropbox.

I'm not doing this for thanks. As I can't easily supply dropbox links from work, I thought it would be easier for me to index them here.

That said, next time you see a post from Hadron, InfernalByte or Rastaman-FB, hit the thanks button under their post to show the love ;)

Thanks - going to add this link to my sig (I see you've done that already :))


Yeah do! The whole reason was I could reply "link in sig" instead of fiddling around on the bus, trying to get a link, then paste it in the app whilst adding url tags. Had enough of that.

Thanks again for your valued input.

Thanks for this. I will add to my signature as well.

One thing. I tried the black gmail and don't like it. How do I go back to he original? [COLOR="Red"][Edit]: do I just extract the gmail file from the ROM and install it?[/COLOR] Can the original be added to your list in case folk don't like it?

If you want it back in /system/app you can take it from the Rom and just put it in the flashable zip after removing the black one
