Sapir - September 29th

I really have to apologize - I've been up to my head with other stuff and have only now had the time to release a version.

Nothing proprietary new, just the regular fixes.

The changelog is the same as the last one :)

Sapir - September 26th

It took longer than I meant, and some of it was due to unfortunate merges, but the new release is here.

Nothing new, except the CM updates - which also means Calculator will now work.

Some of the users didn't like the transparent status bar. While I like it, I can relate - so, hopefully next build, I'll put a toggle option for that. I'm also working on tablet mode and individual DPI changer, but both are still some time coming.

I'd like to hear from you on new features you would like here in the comments section.

Download links, as always, on the right side.

Now, the full updated change log:
  • Added DPI Changer in Display settings
  • Transparent nav bar / status bar

Rootear dispositivos Android ICS/JB



Recientemente en el foro de xda-developers.com el usuario Bin4ry publico un tutorial para rootear dispositivos Android de una manera muy facil

Pues gracias a ese post he podido rootear mi Sony Xperia P con ICS sin necesidad de desbloquear el Bootloader y como dije anteriormente fue muy facil hacerlo

El dispositivo debe tener activado la depuracion por USB, esta opcion esta por ejemplo en el Android ICS:

Config -> Opciones de desarrollo -> Activa la opcion: Depuracion por USB

1. Descargate los archivos necesarios para el rooteo
2. Despues de descarga el archivo .7z extrae los archivos a una carpeta
3. Conecta el dispositivo Android al PC (recuerda tener la opcion de depuracion por USB activada)
4. Ejecuta el archivo RunMe.bat y sigue las instrucciones (estan en ingles)

IMPORTANTE! 
Normal Mode no borrara los datos, pero de igual manera es bueno hacer un respaldo
Special Mode BORRARA todos los datos, asi que respalda tus datos


En el post de xda xda-developers.com dan mas detalles de los dispositicos que son soportados hasta ahora

Basicamente esto es lo que debes hacer y es como yo lo hice:

1. Ejecutas RunMe.bat
2. Selecciona la opcion uno
3. Espera hasta que el dispositivo te pida hacer una copia de seguridad llamada RunMe
4. Luego que termine de hacer la copia de seguridad ahora restaura esa copia de seguridad
5. Listo!! Dispositivo Android rooteado

NOTA: quizas no sea tan facil para otros dispositivos, asi que recuerda hacer una copia de seguridad de tus datos
NOTA2: el script tambien tiene la opcion para des-rootear el dispositivo, que es la opcion x letra 'equis'
Gracias al rooteo he podido instalar Drop-down status bar switch
