not sure myself you could try to uninstall the comestic apk and then reboot to see if it still shows normal but i have a feeling it needs to remain installed.

have to say not many work for our variant

i had to check each mod also only a few interested me. like call record

wont work for us till some1 patches our lib files... but thats ok not really important.

Shabbypenguin · Apr 9, 2013

yea its rather unfortunate but i hope it takes off so in the future mods can be firmware and phone universal

n4zty · Apr 10, 2013

Just a quick question, I installed this add-on when I check the status it says normal but if I hit the software update it says your phone has been modified no updates I have Metrop installed so if this app is cosmetic and doesn't really change anything is it worth running?

Shabbypenguin · Apr 12, 2013

yes it is purely cosmetic, incase you have to go to a metro store they will see normal and not question it further. and if you are on metropolis who needs official updates?

kb0sdq · Apr 12, 2013

true thanks for the info Shabby

I've only did the normal device thing. Does all the themes work?

Shabbypenguin · Apr 26, 2013

some should, some need to be recompiled which now that this is out i imagine will happen more often.

like if arocker wanted to port the metroplitan theme to this then no matter what version of metropolis ii update to it wouldnt break his theme anymore and he could instead focus on new features and stuff

That would be cool, and I've tried pretty much every rom and I keep coming back to metropolis is great thanks shabby.

Ive finish this. My status became normal but if i hit the update its like nothing had change it says "your device has been modified" still same as before. Plss help

n4zty · May 31, 2013

this is just to mask your status from metro corp employees. the only solution is to un-root although triangle away has an option to help get your normal status back.

I was never able to get triangle away to work right. It said it worked, but always said modified. Anyway this worked perfect. Thanks n4zty and Shabby.

yes most mods need a rooted device. also if u guys want to do a ota firmware update even if ya rooted ya need to install ota root keeper then it will have an option to preserve root then temporary unroot then from there reboot check ur device status should say normal. from there do the fimr update then once its finished go back to ota root keeper and press restore root and thats all.
