Change Navigation Bar size to 24dpi (stock-rooted ROM) - Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps

I love my new Nexus but that horrible navigation bar kept bugging me. I don't hate the bar but the size was just aweful. Since this is my first Android device, I wanted to keep it stock. I did try a couple of ROMs but went back to stock. I kept trying to figure out how to reduce the size of the navigation bar. I tried a couple of programs. They were buggy. So, finally, shinta86 pointed me to http://chromloop.com/2013/07/how-to...on-bar-in-cyanogenmodcm10-1-on-nexus-4-guide/ that had instructions on how to decompile, change, and recompile framework-res.apk file. I gave it a go and bam, my navigation bar is smaller now. I chose to go with 24dpi. In case you would like it, I have included a link to framework-res.apk.zip file. Your device has to be rooted. You will have to replace framework-res.apk file in /system/framework with the one that you download from my link.
As with other things posted on this forum, please proceed with warning. I am not responsible for any damages to your device.

Thanks! My next goal is to see if I can move it to the side or, better yet, enable Tablet UI on stock ROM.

32 DPI for minimus ROM
Hey thanks a lot for this. although I couldn't use the file you posted, ROM not stock, the tutorial was surely very helpful!
So everyone, if you are using Minimus ROM, use this framework to get 32 DPI navbar.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bzc3DKZX3_4rdU5VV1FfTEZlUjQ/edit?usp=sharing
Drive has made this file stupid, just download it and rename to framework-res.apk and push to relevant path

Great mod, any chance you could do 32 DPI for stock

Try the 32dpi mod in post #7. 24dpi will be too small for Tablet UI. Also, apply the Tablet UI mod first and then this one.

Are you sure you are copying it over? When you do, the device will reboot by itself. What file explorer are you using? You may have to enable R/W as root.

I have the same problem, i tried pushing the files using one of the Toolkits and 2 file exploring apps, and couldn't get it to work.
In fact, i got a bootloop when i tried to push the file with the file explorers. I already checked the SuperSu status, made sure the file has the same permisions the original apk has, but nothing works.
I am using a stock deodexed JSS15Q rom. If you are not too busy, could you show us how to do it? Thanks.

The file I posted is for odexed ROM. I will try and post some instructions soon.

Using Root Explorer go to your edited framework-res.apk on your SD long press it and select copy then navigate back to system/framework and "paste" your edited framework-res. It will ask you if you would like to "overwrite" the current framework-res, select yes. After that flo will reboot.
If you don't have Root Explorer, it is a must for Root Users and you can find it in the Play Store.
Also, remember to backup your original framework-res.apk.

Or... Go LMT, which solves the whole problem and screen space!

Any luck with the deodexed version? I would like to try this so bad, i am considering changing to an odexed version of the rom. But correct me if
I'm wrong; with an odexed rom i would not be able to install other mods
like Dsp Manager or Extended Power Menu. Right?

No Clock Mod for EB13/EC05

Looking for a No clock mod that works with eb13/ec05, the only ones I've found are only compatible with dk28. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Here it is, thanks to pdfmedic from http://lostandtired.com/
+1
I'll second that request
+1
i agree also
R u talking about in the notification bar? If so I have the services.jar with this mod but I'm on my phone right now. Ill post it up when I get home unless some1 else has it already or if some1 else from the viper team has my file they can post.
here is the jar that removes the time from the notification bar the file is already in a flashable zip just make sure 2 backup before flashing
Awsome!
Two quick ?s;
If I decide I want it back, what do I need to do?
And do you happen to have one that would get rid of the signal meter?
And by backup, you mean the backup that is available in clockword mod(sorry noob that's wthe "nandroid" people refer to?)?
Ok. Four questions.
to get it back all u would have 2 do is flash the stock services.jar
ill see if i can get the signal bar off also but cant guarantee it
and yes that is the back up im referring to... anytime u flahs something u should always make a back up
SRF/Bonsai users - flashing the above is NOT RECOMMENDED! The poster did not state it's compatible with either one, meaning you'll get the throttle service back... and you will not be able to boot your phone, because it's got leftover pieces of Carrier IQ left in it!
DO NOT WANT!
hence the backing up just in case... and if thats the case then please post your services.jar file and i will edit it 2 remove the clock
Thanks for the hbeadsup k0nane.

[REQ] stock theme framework/juggernaut 5.0

Is it possible for somebody to create a completely stock framework (status bar, pulldown, etc) for juggernaut 5.0? I always thought the green battery really stood out when everything else was at an understated grey color. i wish i knew how to do this myself
but i turn to the experts on here for some love. hopefully i am not the only one who wants this and there is an actual demand for this type of theme
if anybody takes on this task, i thank them greatly
All you gotta do is search for empty zip file to flash theme. Then take out framework, twframework and systemUI from original Jug. Make folder called framework put both framework in there. another folder called app and put systemui. Then without extracting the zip file/use 7zip to put both this folder in it and then flash that zip. That's all!

If you have Root explorer or something similar, you could probably copy and late the appropriate files in the correct spots and then reboot. Then you wouldn't need to sign or flash.

Are these the exact same zips you are trying to flash? if so they are not set up right for CWM to be able to apply them. Here is a CMW flash for you. Open it with 7 zip or an appropriate progam, i recomend 7zip its great. You will see the app folder and the framework folder. Place your modfied app.apks in the app folder and any modified framwork.res files in the framework folder. Dont try to mess with too much at first just framework.res twframework.res and systemui.apk make sure when you transfer images you are taking them from stock and adding them to Juggs files or you will get a force close. dont just try and take stock .res files or .apks and flash them.
hahahahahaha.... i wish i saw this sooner. i actually went ahead and pushed the stock images over the modified images i wanted into the systemui.apk within the juggernaut zip file and then reflashed it. that would have saved me loads of time configuring everything all over again. but thanks though... if this doesn't help me now, it should help me later. and it probably helps other people looking to do their own thing as well.

[R&D] COMPLETE Deodexed system/framework

I noticed the previously posted de-odexed dump was not complete. Its missing several items. Below are links to my attempt at de-odexing the system apps and framework. It is a complete dump.
Deodexed framework (MD5 543acaded314224318cd90775654b57c)
Deodexed apps (MD5 58de9c029f1f62ba06dcc634020eeca9)
I have actually pushed this to my device and verified its working. I did this by "stop"ing the Android runtime, using the internal "SD" with adb push and some for loops then an adb reboot. I will not provide more detailed instructions.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU TRY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
I hope other ROM developers can use this as a base once we have a safe way to restore soft bricks.

Would someone else be able to help clarify on how to properly push these files? I kind of get what OP is saying but not quite there and I won't do anything till I'm sure how to properly push these over. I understand and accept full responsibility for what happens to my phone but I would very much enjoy help working with these files, I just need to make sure I got my procedure down.
Also we have a way to fix soft bricks now so worst comes to worst I just re-flash the stock ROM.

Your audio files in res/raw must not be compressed. Replace them with no compression after recompiling.

The steps in his thread are more or less how I did it. The key here is "stop" to freeze the runtime. Otherwise it will notice the APKs and JARs changing and try to reprocess them - and ultimately crash the phone.

I had to rename a few layouts (keyguard_lockscreen_something). Once it recompiled, I swapped AndroidManifest.xml and the META-INF folder into the recompiled one with the files from the original APK.
So, does this contain the TW framework and all apps? I. E. could you move this to a /system of a CM or AOSP ROM and get the AllShare, S Voice, etc. apps?
romracer, what version tools are you using to decompile and recompile?
I cant get sec email to de-odex on the latest dump. Did you have any issues with that?

sorry, got a little sidetracked. my computer is still acting up. so i do have the mod done but it is also with the 3minit battery mod. Make sure you install the 3minit apk before you push the systemui.apk. Make a backup first. Here is how i do it and dont get force closes.
use es file explorer. make sure you turn on root and mount system for r/w
rename systemui.apk to systemui1.apk
move to system/priv-app
set permission to rw-r--r--
change systemui.apk to systemui.apk.bak
change systemui1.apk to systemui.apk

Need help in getting back Stock Boot animation on Tab S 8.4

I tried looking around but most guides/remedies seem to be for androids in general, kinda a noob at this so I apologize if this counts as spam.
I would be very thankful if someone could help me out with this recently after flashing ironrom I have this hideuous frog boot animation which replaces my stock one and I tried backing up my stock one and replacing it but when I replaced it, there was no change. I backed up before flashing the rom.
I checked in system/media there were a few boot-related files I think but I'm not sure, going into bin I found bootanimation but it didn't have the .zip extension.
Also, I can't seem to find the bootanimation.zip like most guides on replacing bootanimation tell you to do, some pointers would be helpful.
**Thanks in advance!**

Just pull it from the previous Ironrom zip or any other custom stock rom

Tried that but I have a black screen now, for some reason when I view the bootanimation file I replace it has a different file icon compared to the other system files in system/media (others has a gear the bootanimation file is just a plain document) could that be a cause?

Make sure it's got the .qmg extension and you set permissions to rw-r-r

Just extract and place the 3 files in your system/media folder. Make sure permissions are set the same as the other files in the folder.

Did that still black boot screen plus with the new shutdown animation (which was previously working) the resolution is halfed.
I'm thinking I should just reflash to stock since nothing is working but I'd really like to leave that as last resort as this seems like a really trivial problem which I'm just not handling correctly thus the many complications.

Something isn't making sense here, which Root File Explorer do you use?
You should just be able to copy all 3 qmg files from the previous Ironrom or any LP rom for your device and put them in that folder.
That should be it.

Just post them below then put the links here.

I'd suggest you try es Explorer or the best is Root Explorer.

Tried using es, that was my first option but couldnt for the life of me figure out how to mounr files as r/w even after activating "root explorer" on it.
Here are the screenshots:http://postimg.org/gallery/20vwg9w1e/61eeb696/

I've tried also changing the files permission to be the same as other system/media files and also giving it complete permission. No luck though :S

At the moment the files don't have any permissions at all.
They need to be set r-r-r-w.
Apart from that I see no reason for it not to work.

The ones in the screenshots have total access. I have tried limiting it to r-r-r-w with no luck difference.
Seems like the shutdown animation works though (it did before) but now the lower half is grey probably due to the different resolution size.

I suggest you reflash Ironrom without wiping. At least you'll get back your animations.
Then I'd back them up and try again.
One thing to note is that the t805 version of Ironrom doesn't have this frog boot animation.
Can you send me your frog animation?

Alright I'll do that as soon as I have access to my computer, but for now if you'd like to know more about it just head over to the sm-t705 ironrom lollipop update, , many mentions of the animations in the thread.
Back when I had 4.4.2 and ironrom on it, the animations were still stock

Ended up reflashing to stock firmware, will probably go back to ironrom if they have an update without that animation ^^
Thanks for the help though, sorry for all the inconvenience.
