[MOD] How to get back the input/keyboard animation - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Hello @all,
since the first froyo builds I missed the input/keyboard animation. I liked the animation as it was in the previous eclair builds. So I took a look into this.
Theres an easy solution to this, if you know how to de-/recompiling the framework-res.apk.
I don't describe here how to decompile apk's. There are enough tutorials here I think.
So, to get the Input animation back you just have to take a look into:
\res\values\styles.xml
and search for:
Code:
<style name="Theme.InputMethod" parent="@style/Theme.Panel">
<item name="imeFullscreenBackground">@drawable/input_method_fullscreen_background</item>
<item name="imeExtractEnterAnimation">@anim/input_method_extract_enter</item>
<item name="imeExtractExitAnimation">@anim/input_method_extract_exit</item>
</style>
and add one line to get this:
Code:
<style name="Theme.InputMethod" parent="@style/Theme.Panel">
<item name="windowAnimationStyle">@style/Animation.InputMethod</item>
<item name="imeFullscreenBackground">@drawable/input_method_fullscreen_background</item>
<item name="imeExtractEnterAnimation">@anim/input_method_extract_enter</item>
<item name="imeExtractExitAnimation">@anim/input_method_extract_exit</item>
</style>
...recompile and you've got the default input/keyboard animation back.
I add my example framework-res.apk in an CWM flashable .zip file. It's the framework from the actual JPX ROM. Theres also my own Battery Icon Mod included. Stock Battery Icon style, but with pixel exact display of the battery und charging state. This means 30 battery states displayed and not just only 4 or 5 like in the original. Even when charging. Much nices and more accurate.
Hope I could help somebody with this. If you have question just ask here. And sorry for my english

Hi,
Do you maybe know how to get this working on Sense roms. The line you added is already present in my framework-res.
Attached the framework-res.apk of my rom below.

Emm, is it the same as fancy keyboard animation from spare parts?

Just get the Spare Parts app from the Market.

Yes could someone please try get this working on Sense roms? Like casklaverstijn said that line is already present, yet the animation does not work. What else could we try?
Enabling it in spare parts makes no change too.

[Q] Settings.apk font color

defined on framework-res.apk, and you can find it on settings too.
its easy to find it, do a search on Layout and color or drawable folder, when u decompiled the apk.
fonts color
Framework-res.apk\res\values​ Styles
for fonts widget:
<style name="Widget.TextView" parent="@style/Widget">​ <item name="textColor">#ffffffff</item>​ </style>​

[Q] Framework-res.apk fc after colour change

I am wanting to change the sub-menu colour using the instructions found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9664604#post9664604
In /res/color/zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml change the colors in the following two lines to ffffffff:
Code:
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:color="#ffffffff" />
<item android:color="#ffffffff" />
I compile the framework-res.apk and push it to the framework. In settings the colour change is visible ie- selecting Display works and so does About phone.
Location and Security, Accounts and sync, Locale and Text causes FC
I have tried signing, copying original arsc file etc but no luck
I have compiled the framework-res with a new rom also no luck
My guess is that there is a supporting file somewhere that also require to be changed. Your help is appreciated
I think you just made a "f" too much.
It should be ffffff
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
SOLVED
I sucessfully compiled using eclipse
I then tried a different version of apktool which worked
Syntax is ff followed by 6 hex caracter colour code in the example it is ff ffffff for white

Here is a simple mode for any rom to bring those pretty scroll bars back!
Decompile framework-res.apk

THEME/MOD + TUTORIAL! SystemUI pulldown animation AOKP B29

hi!
i made a litte SystemUI pulldown animation (only for AOKP B29)
it looks like a overglow effect
it slowly comes in and slowly fades away
no screenshots.. only a video(not super clear)(outdated the animation is now much smoother)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wxZX0uwwuo&feature=youtu.be
backup your current systemui!
and flash the download in cwm
want to make one yourself?
see second post

Back To Stock AOKP 29 (thnx to t-rip)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63404537/StockB29CWMSystemUI.zip
if you like my work please consider a donation
TUTORIAL
here we go! i will try and make this as clear as possible
1. plug in your phone
2. adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
3. make a copy and keep it somewhere save(need this later)
4. decompile SystemUI.apk
5. browse your way to /res/layout/status_bar_tracker and open the file
you will see a lot of code
change the lines in your systemui to the red lines in the code below
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TrackingView android:orientation="vertical" [COLOR="red"]android:background="@drawable/pulldown" [/COLOR]android:paddingLeft="0.0px" android:paddingRight="0.0px" android:paddingBottom="0.0px" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="gone" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<FrameLayout [COLOR="Red"]android:background="@drawable/pulldown_background" [/COLOR]android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.WeatherText android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:paddingBottom="40.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:paddingBottom="20.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</FrameLayout>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:background="#ee000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" android:scaleType="fitCenter" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CloseDragHandle>
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.TrackingView>
6.save and go to /res/drawable/
7.make an .xml file named pulldown.xml
8. open it and paste the code below inside and save
8a. the android:drawable lines represent the images of the animation
so make sure the name of the images and the lines are the same.
so in my case the first image is called
android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_anim001"
and je can add or remove lines to match the number of images you are going to use
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:oneshot="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="150" android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_anim001" />
<item android:duration="150" android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_anim002" />

<item android:duration="150" android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_anim037" />
<item android:duration="150" android:drawable="@drawable/pulldown_anim038" />
9. place your images you are going use in drawable-xhdpi
10. place this image in your drawable-xhdpi
11. save and compile your SystemUI
12. open your backup of the SystemUI apk and copy the res map and the resources.arsc of the just compiled apk into the backup
13. adb remount
14. adb push /system/app/
15. adb reboot
hope this is clear
this should work on every gnex rom
I tested it and like the effect!
It would be better if the glow animation would be a little more fluid. Right now you can see each "frame" of the animation.
But it doesn't affect performance yet! That's most important I think.
EDIT:
I attached a CWM-zip with the stock System-UI based on your zip. You can put it in the opening post. I guess a lot of people like to have a way back to stock without backing up the apk.

Totally smooth now or just smooth?
Can you tell us what did you changed in the SystemUI.apk so we can have your mod while keeping our theme?
Oops, screwed up my b28 hehe.
Is it possible to make a zipthemer file?
I would love this on CNA

Hello
Awesome mod, I like flashy things... Just a question before I go ahead, I have black exodus, if I install this... it will still be blue right? not white?
EDIT just tried, got rid of the settings made by black exodus in the status bar, the glow is blue. Will you make mods with different colours in the future?

[HOW TO] Background image to mms.apk and transparent item notification

Hi to all...
This is a little guide on how to mod mms.apk of a stock samsung firmware and on how to apply a full or semi transparence to the notification items, if exists any similar guide (i have searched many part of this section and i haven't found nothing of this) please, moderators, delete this thread.
First of all keep in mind that we'll work on XWLPG 4.0.3 firmware.
I'm assuming that you have the basic knowledge on how to decompile-recompile apk of your system image.
Ok, let's start...
PART 1 - HOW TO APPLY A BACKGROUND IMAGE TO MMS.APK
We'll need to "patch" this apk, because as it is, the mms.apk use a solid color (black) like background and we want to use an image instead.
So, first, decompile mms.apk
Go to res/values/styles.xml
Search for this (usually the last paragrapher)
Code:
<style name="TwMessageTheme" parent="@touchwiz:style/TwTheme">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
delete it and paste the following
Code:
<style name="TwMessageTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Wallpaper">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/mms_bg</item>
</style>
Of course you must insert a PNG called mms_bg.png in your drawable-hdpi folder (i have used a 470x512 resolution image).
Done....now recompile your mms.apk and push it in to your system/app folder!

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
PART 2 - HOW TO SET TRANSPARENT COLOR TO NOTIFICATION ITEMS
This is the link of the guide, found in other section, that used for make this.
The following screen shows the default visual appearance of the notification items background
Sorry, this isn't an image from a stock samsung rom, but as you can see is a solid dark grey color, something similar of a stock look.
With this little tip you can change this and make it full or semi transparent
Decompile you SystemUI.apk (remember to install your framework, it's a proprietary rom)
Go to res/values/drawables.xml
search for the following (usually the line number 34)
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#ff1f2225</item>
SEMI TRANSPARENT -----> change the value #ff1f2225 with #77000000
You will have the following
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#77000000</item>
FULL TRANSPARENT ------> change the value #ff1f2225 with #00000000
You will have the following
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#00000000</item>
Now recompile system.UI and you're done.
The screen shot shows an example of semi transparent background
Enjoy....
Ps.: sorry for my bad english (i feel like a robot writing this )
Pps.: i know this is a very little "how to", nothing special, but i am trying to be useful to this great community...

Wow, someone gets interested!
Aside the joking, can you be more specific, please? in which part of tutorial you have difficult? and when do you have error? at decompiling or recompiling?
Im trying to make the notifications transparent. these are controlled in the res/values/drawables.xml
However when i try to decompile the systemui.apk with any apktool i get errors in the coding. Most of the lines will be fine and show up as they should. However i get around 10-15 lines of /APKTOOL DUMMY/ text.
What version of apktool or software did you use to decompile your apks for this tutorial?
I hope that makes sense lol

Sorry if i reply lately, but my sons make me busy all the time when i am at home...
First...i use apk manager
Well, make sure you install the framework of your rom when decompiling SystemUI (option 10 instead of 9, when the shell requests it drag and drop framework-res.apk of your rom in to the apk manager's window, that's because the one that came with apk manager is generic one ).
I am using THIS apk manager, all credits to Wanam: it's a modded version based over 4.9 official release.
Let me know if works (it should).
Thanks for the help.
However im still getting errors on decomiling.

Assuming that you had follow my instructions (i refer to install framework of your rom) and it st, can you send to me your systemUI and your framework-res.apk?
Just one thing: note that you can decompile only not themed apk (original)....
EDIT: send me the log too
Ahhhh i think that could be an issue.
The framework and systemui have both been themed using the universal Zip theme. Ill get the original files tested and see how it goes
Yeah i installed the franework as you said

The background image has been changed but its also added a 'title bar' see picture.
This wasnt there before. Any idea on how to get rid?

Do you remember how was original title bar? Was it black, like original background?
If you can post a picture of the stock apk, cause it maybe a little different from the GS2 one
It wasnt there at all. The blue bar was at the top of the screen

LOL, now i have understand well, soory (i am like retarded )
So please describe exactly what you've done. Cause you have the device on signature and not a GS2, so if you have followed my instructions maybe something to modify in proceedure.
I have a galaxy note n7000 and i followed your tut to the letter. All the coding was the same in my mms.apk as in your tutorial.
Looking at your screenshots you have it too. Might have a play with the codes

I just used the bit of your code which specified the mms_bg and it works great
Thanks for the help on this.

can you also change the colour of the background within mms.apk for example when you click a message and enter the conversation view the background behind the bubbles would look much better black instead of grey/blue colour
is this possible its one thing i hate about stock mms.apk

Yeah, it's possible for sure. I had understand that this background is not a PNG but a solid color (if anyone here knows more please tell), just i need to recognize the xml style and patch it in the right way. To do this i only need time.
Once it is done we can also tell to our dear mms.apk to use an image file instead a solid color (balck or grey, it doesn't matter).
Great Tutorial
I was looking for this for too long !!!!
Thanks..
