Hello guys..
seems like some people getting hard tie when doing advanced theming..
so post your problem here..
you can attach screenshoot if possible..
I'll try to help if I can
but before that you need to know about compiling and decompiling using apktool or something similar first, so this could help me easier to answer them..
note : this thread won't be long, so I need someone to continue this thread later

I mean, how to add power menu option? (with base firmware gingerbread xwkpn)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16579650&postcount=44
I think he meant compiling one for himself. I for one would prefer if the power menu had a mobile network trigger, but have no idea how to do that.

I was wondering how i could change this area (see pic). I know that these files are located in SystemUI.apk but i dont know which belongs to which.
I would like to know the filename for these:
Statusbar, Carrier(Tele2) area, quicksetting background.
Also, is there any way to put a clock next to the carrier text?
Thanks in advance.
edit: How do i make it flashable?

you need to edit the \SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml
then remove the line that contain this :
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock
and poff, it's gone

Statusbar belongs to statusbar_background.png or .9.png. Also you need to modify \SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml open it with notepad++ and you'll see line like this :
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="[SIZE="3"][B]#ff000000[/B][/SIZE]" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
look at the #ff000000 part, by default it shows that our statusbar background is just a color, so we need to change it to image.. so replace it with
Code:
@drawable/statusbar_background
the line would look like this :
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:orientation="vertical" android:background="[SIZE="3"][B]@drawable/statusbar_background[/B][/SIZE]" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
Carrier located in status_bar_expanded.xml in line 8 that contain something like this :
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel
I think it's quite possible to place clock next to it..
try to add this below that line..
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textSize="24.0dip" android:textColor="#ff848484" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="1.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
It should look similar like this :
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel android:textSize="17.659973dip" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="1.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textSize="24.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="1.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
but I haven't tried it by myself
Quicksetting background located in \SystemUI\res\drawable-mdpi\quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png or .9.png
you can change it, but if you change the filetype from .9.png to .png and vice versa (like this) quickpanel_quick_settings_background.9.png to quickpanel_quick_settings_background.png..
you need to delete build and dist folder before compiling the file, otherwise you'll se FC in statusbar
To make it flashable I just simply take working update.zip file and change the contents that's my favorite, easiest and faster way for me
Thanks a lot! Let's see how it turns out!

indexed..
did you mean indexed in public.xml or indexed colors..?
if indexed in theme (which means public.xml) it works but you need to modify the xml where the original (indexed one) is used..
if it comes about color, that should be no problem..

Hi, theming master! How to make black background in any apk files transparent, just like Jun Hong's transparent TouchWiz app drawer? Thanks in advance
I guess its a compiling issue
I have this problem in my themes that the slide unlock's parts are in different colour, i know that this problem has been rectified by fla.sh as he shows it in one of his screenshots. I understand that his framework-res.apk was quite large and mine is less than 50% of it. I guess this problem has come due to compilation of the apk. The new apktoo lcompresses them i guess due to which that problem. Thanks in advance. I have also attached a file to show the problem

Copy btn_lock_normal.9.png from the original framework-res.apk (located at /res/drawable-land-mdpi) and overwrite into your new UOT-made framework-res.apk and about my framework-res.apk is larger than you, it caused because I'm prefer to not optimize it (to reduce errors of course)
Hey Seilent
How do you make the status bar transparent?
Maybe you've seen me asking this very question before on your Meizu theme thread but Im just curious.. Is there a way to make this happen without using Meizu and that live wallpaper thingy?
Err.. Don't get me wrong; I love your Meizu theme and in fact, Im using it right now. But like I said before, Im just curious..

I have a question: is it possible to change the color from the font of the time in the statusbar? or somewhere else? I see that in other roms and I want to change it manually. When it's possible, can you post a tutorial-link or something to do change that?

hey^^
one of the framework apks? I found one in system\framework\ (framework-res.apk) and I don't find a smali code or something I can see in the apk a folder names "color" but I don't know what I change there :/
To change the color of the clock:
1.Decompile the SystemUI.apk
2.Open res/layout/status_bar.xml
3.Find this line
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
4. add
Code:
android:textColor="TEXTCOLOR"
"TEXTCOLOR" being your choice of HEX COLOR CODE (EXAMPLE: #ff49E9BD = Electric Turquoise)
Always put "ff" before the the color code.

You don't sign system apk's. If you sign system apk's the signature's wont match. Just re-compile and move the 'resources.arcs' file and any other xml files you edited out of the "-new" apk and copy them into original apk.

Here's the edited "status_bar.xml" just put it in your original SystemUI.apk.
You are correct, you have to put "FF" or "TT" in front of the color code.
LIKE THIS:
Code:
android:textColor="#ff00ffff"

Prerequisites
-apktool
*Make sure you meet all requirements for apktool
Guide:
- Copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your current ROM into your apktool directory
- CD your apktool folder
- Install resources from framework-res.apk by issuing this command
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
- Decompile your SystemUI.apk by doing:
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk
- Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder and go to /res/values/bools.xml
- Find the following bool
Code:
<bool name="config_showOperatorLogo">false</bool>
- Change it to the following:
Code:
<bool name="config_showOperatorLogo">true</bool>
- Save and close the XML
- Next, navigate to /res/drawable-xhdpi/ and search for this image
Code:
tw_stat_notify_operator_logo
- This is what you want to replace with your custom image. Try not have the image too big, and make sure it is a png. I usually make my logos around 90x40 but they can be smaller and slightly larger depending on what you are using
- After you replaced that image with your custom carrier logo go back to your command prompt window and recompile your apk
Code:
apktool b SystemUI
- Your new apk will be in the decompiled SystemUI folder in the "dist" folder
- Next, click and drag the original AndroidManifest.xml AND the META-INF folder for the original SystemUI.apk to the new SystemUI.apk
- Make a flashable zip and flash in recovery
Resources
- How to make a flashable zip for our phone
- Some carrier logos
- Some of my personal favorite carrier logos
Enjoy!
This is actually pretty nice. Your killing it fergie
would love this but dont know how to decompile i have two little kids to run after hard to concentrate can u make one for me please with this
Fergie, thanks so much for sharing this guide. It'll definitely come in handy. The title says for TW roms but I'm curious if this is possible on AOKP, and would the process be somewhat similar?
Charlie, I've got 2 little ones as well and can assure you that apktool is relatively quick and easy to figure out.

You're welcome!
And the process would be different (that bool doesn't exist in CM10/AOKP), you have to add a layout edit to status_bar.xml and add the Sprint carrier text, make it invisible and set the background for said text your carrier image
I'm still on TW but if you wanna test it out I can show you the layout edit you would have to make

Well this is how I've been doing it
-Decompile SystemUI
-Go to /res/layouts/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml
-In the very second line here
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/notification_panel" android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg" android:paddingTop="@dimen/notification_panel_padding_top" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/notification_panel_margin_left"
Change this entry
Code:
android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg"
To
Code:
android:background="@drawable/status_bar_expand_default"
-Next, take whatever png you want to be your background and name it "status_bar_expand_default"
-Add that png to /res/drawable-xhdpi/
-Recompile, drag the original META-INF and AndroidManifest,xml from the original SystemUI.apk to the newly compiled one
-Make a flashable and flash in recovery

I've been attempting to get into theming, one thing i'd like to do is make the notification background transparent like I've seen in some roms. However, I haven't been able to edit the xml files necessary. I've tried notepad++ and some xml editors but I'm just seeing garbled stuff. Would someone give me some pointers?

You need to decompile the apk before you can edit xml files. There are many ways to do this, APK Manager etc.

If your wanting the notification shade transparent you need to look in systemui/res/layout/statusbar_expanded.xml. Top line in the file just look for this
Code:
android:background="@*android:color/black"
replace it with
Code:
android:background="#88000000"
of course you need to change the code to what you want 88000000 is just a semi transparent color as an example. the 4.2.2 eqs is another story. I can tell you how to do that too if you want.

Thanks for this, always wanted to try that.
Hey Rayford,
Would it be possible to change the 'status_bar_close_on' on SystemUI to look
like the one on the GE roms, where it turns blue when pressed?
I know how to decompile and change stuff inside the apk.
Just not sure what to look for
Thanks

No problem I was lucky enough to have guys like @he_stheone64 putting out tutorials when I started theming
4.2.2 eqs go to layouts folder in systemui find quick_settings.xml & quick_settings_tile.xml & find the background tag like this
Code:
android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg"
change it to a transparent color like....
Code:
android:background="#99000000"
do the same thing in both xml's for the background tag.
last go to res/values/drawables.xml & find this
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="quick_settings_tile_background">#ff161616</item>
change to...
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="quick_settings_tile_background">#99000000</item>
that's it for transparent quicksettings.
This is a lot easier than the process of elimination I've been going through. I've always liked you Viper guys, had it on my One S.

Replace the .9 images and that should work. If not then you need to decompile both systemui.apk and put in the raw .9.png's of the GE one into the Sense one and compile it.. I would suggest Removing the carrier on the pulldown, should be located in the statusbarexpanded.xml I did a similar mod to my old Note II.

Just had a very quick look, but you can try the following:
Look for status_bar_expanded.xml in layout
Search for
PHP:
android:id="@id/handle" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_close_on"
The reference for the bg here is to the png in xxhdpi folder. What you need to try is changing that bg reference to the status_bar_close.xml in drawables folder, which is still there in Sense version. The code in status_bar_close.xml in drawables folder will help you, since it will choose the resources based on the state, see the following code snippet. I`m just explaining this, so you understand what you are doing here. So no need to change anything in that xml.
PHP:
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_off" />
</selector>
So change the code in status_bar_expanded.xml to:
PHP:
android:id="@id/handle" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_close"
Now also add a status_bar_close_off.9.png to xxhdpi folder and amend the status_bar_close_on.9.png how you want to see it (or grab both pngs from GE SystemUI, those are in xhdpi folder there). This makes sure you have both the resources for on and off state available, which are pulled now by status_bar_close.xml, since you refered to that xml as background in your layout file. I did not test it, since I`m out traveling since nearly 2 weeks now, so no time atm.
can the guide linked be used to hide the statusbar clock ?

if you try what I described then you're theme will look complete cause of 2 things:
1. No more need for red image cause there're no more notifications in status bar on lockscreen
2. system icons on lockscreen will repeat status bar position - battery and alarm in the right and all other stuff in the left.
that is in case you will hide all elements from keyguard_status_bar.xml and do center clock in status_bar.xml using @id/system_icon_area instead of @id/notification_icon_area_inner (is it the id you're using?)
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="[B]@id/system_icon_area[/B]" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="0.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
</LinearLayout>

If your apk file contains classes.dex inside it means that apk is deodexed and you can delete odex file
Other apk could be odexed or deodexed

Want an animated HOME softkey in your navbar? Of course you do!
This is a relatively simple mod, which should work on any rom and any version of Android. Android P, with its gesture control navbar setup, is a different matter but I'll deal with that another time.
Follow the simple steps below to find out how to do this mod. Any problems, just let me know!
Step 1 - Decompile Your "SystemUI.apk"
The first thing you need to do is, as it says above, is to decompile your deodexed SystemUI.apk. I'm not going to tell you how to do that here, because there are already a lot of tutorials and guides for that on xda. There's also a lot of decompiling tools you can use. I personally recommend using Tickle My Android([url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633333[/URL]). It's fast, user-friendly, makes flashable ZIP's and rumour has it that the developer is devastatingly handsome..
If your rom isn't deodexed, this rom won't work. You have to deodex it first. By a strange coincidence, Tickle My Android can deodex roms too. What a clever developer they must be!
Once you've done this, move onto Step 2!
Step 2 - Add The Smali Files
Now we need to add the new smali files for this. However these aren't my files, somebody else made them so you'll need to get them from the attachment at the bottom of this post here: [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/dev-custom-views-t3174519[/URL]
This code was written by @Morningstar and I can't take any credit for it. So you'll need to make sure you press the "Thanks" button at the bottom of his post. If you don't. this mod won't work!!
Extract the "SelfAnimatingImageView.smali" file from the ZIP and add it to your decompiled APK at "SystemUI.apk\smali\com\android\morningstar\". You'll need to make those folders if they're not there already.
Step 3 - Add The Image Files
In the second post in this thread, you'll find a few animations that I've put together for you to download. Just download the ZIP and add the PNG image files to the appropriate "drawable-?dpi" folder. Which folder you need to put them into depends on your particular phone.
If you don't like any of the animations on offer, you can make your own. All I've done is use Google Image Search to find some fun GIF's and online tools like EZGIF ([url]https://ezgif.com/split[/URL]) to turn the GIF into a collection of individual images.
Of course, you could always make your own images if you wanted..but I don't have the artistic ability for that!
If you are using your own animation, make sure you add the "transparent.png" file to your "drawable-?dpi" folder anyway. You'll need it in Step 5..
Step 4 - Edit The Drawable XML File
In the previous step, you put a collection of images into your decompiled APK to serve as your animation. Now you need an XML file that tells Android which files to use for your animation, as well as how quickly to cycle through them.
For this, go back to the ZIP you downloaded and copy the "frame_anim.xml" to your "res\drawable" folder. If you're using your own PNG files, you can still use this file or make your own.
The "frame_anim.xml" looks something like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:oneshot="false"
xmlns:android="[url]http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">[/url]
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/frame_0" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/frame_1" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/frame_2" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/frame_3" />
</animation-list>
Each "item" line represents a different image. The "android:drawable" bit contains the name of the image being displayed the "android:duration" bit says how many milliseconds it's on display for."
If you're using your own animation, just add/delete/edit these lines as you need.
Don't forget to save when you're done!
Step 5 - Edit The Layout XML
We're nearly there, I promise! Just this one step left to do and we can start recompiling. This is the tricky one though - this is the part where we actually put our animation into the navbar, replacing the image for the HOME softkey.
What makes this extra difficult is that Google keep changing where the code we need to change is. In most roms, you'll find the code that controls the HOME softkey in "layout\navigation_bar.xml". In some modern roms, it might actually be in "layout\home.xml"!
So you'll need to do some detective work. You need to find which layout XML file contains a line that looks like this:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/home_button" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home" systemui:keyCode="3" />
Let me rearrange that to make it a bit easier to read..
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="@id/home_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="center"
android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home"
systemui:keyCode="3" />
See those references to "home" and that bit about "systemui:keyCode="3""? This is the line of code that displays the HOME softkey. Your code might not look exactly like that but it'll be close.
We can't make this display an animation, Android just isn't set up for it. So what we actually need to do is hide this HOME softkey, put a new one in the same place that's the same size but invisble, then put our animation underneath that. Sounds complicated, but all we need is a FrameLayout..
Code:
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_key_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_width="@dimen/navigation_key_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/transparent" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home" systemui:keyCode="3" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@id/home_button" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home" systemui:keyCode="3" />
<com.android.morningstar.SelfAnimatingImageView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@+id/frame_animation" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/frame_anim" />
</FrameLayout>
Take a moment to look at that above code. You can see how three different things are piled on top of each other. When the app is running, you won't see that. All you'll see is your animated image where your HOME softkey is. Neat, no?
(For more about FrameLayouts and other XML tricks, you could do worse than check out my short guide here: [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816[/url])
So just replace your HOME softkey line of code with the code above. You may need to make some changes for your particular setup. Every rom is different.
Save and move onto the next step.
Step 6 - Recompile The Modded APK
This is it - the last stage. All you need to do now is recompile your SystemUI.apk file and put it back to your phone.
I recommend doing this in recovery as you'll need to wipe the Dalvik cache, otherwise the new smali won't be active.
I also recommend doing it in recovery because I always recommend DOING A BACKUP FIRST!!
Once you've done the above steps, you should now have an animated HOME softkey in your navbar. But, if you have any problems, just let me know and I'll see what I can do to help.
These are some of the animations that I've put together for this mod. If you like them, just download the appropriate ZIP file from the attachments and add them to your decompiled APK as I mentioned in the previous post.
If you don't like them, let me know what you would like and I'll see what I can do for you.
If you've made your own animation and you think others might enjoy it, let me know and I'll be more than happy to add it to this collection. Crediting you, of course.
If this mod proves popular, I'll see what other animations I can come up with. There aren't many right now and I hadn't really realised just how many of them are of Disney's Stitch...

I've added a few flag icons for people to try. There's a website that has loads of these, for lots of different countries. Definitely worth a look!

In theory, yes. We could use this mod and adjust the smali so the animation only runs when the home button is touched. That's a little beyond me, I'm more of a XML modder, but it's certainly a possibility.
Or we could take the relevant files from an Oreo rom and place them in your Nougat one. It'll involve a bit of work adjusting those files but, again, it's theoretically possible.
Amazing mod buddy..... Any idea on how to add menu key? I did add but doesnt get themed when nav bar is themed.

You can manually add the menu key by adding a line with the relevant keyCode. @Rajeev did a very nice tutorial about doing this sort of thing a few years ago for the original Xperia Z.
But it's pretty unlikely that it'll be themed. Google have been moving away from the menu softkey since ICS. Apps are supposed to have a settings button in the Action Bar at the top of the screen now, or in a hamburger menu. The menu softkey doesn't really officially exist anymore.
If you've got a theme that has a resource in it for replacing the menu icon and it doesn't work, you'll need to speak to whoever created the theme to see if they have any ideas.

I've added a few flag icons for people to try. There's a website that has loads of these, for lots of different countries. Definitely worth a look!

I tried, without success, which made me start a post in Z5 Compact forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/help/request-animated-pixel-navbar-z5-compact-t3699417
Sadly no one is there to help..

Is this animation affect battery Life????
Definitely gonna attempt this on one of my throwaway phones.
Thanks mate for this awesome post. Can you please make some flashable zip or magisk module for the same for noobs like me?
CPU usage?
Hey man, the idea is awesome!!
Since you mentioned deodexed ROM is needed, I'm wondering whether Resurrection Remix Oreo(official build) lies in which category: odexed or deodexed??
Want to proceed with full knowledge, partial one is quite vulnerable...
Thanks buddy, for this amazing work!!

Looking into this, it seems you can't just take the code from the Pixel and put it into your rom as 7.0 doesn't have the required API's for this mod to work.
You could use the animated icon code from this thread but you will need to make the drawable images yourself. And work out how to edit the smali so the animation only starts when you press the icon.
Tricky but not impossible, I think.

Technically, yes. Having a moving icon will use more power than a stationary one.
It shouldn't consume much, though. The CPU isn't having to work very hard. But if you do find your battery going down too fast, just go back to your original SystemUI.apk.

Flashable ZIP's wouldn't really work, sadly. Because every rom has a different SystemUI.apk with different XML, I would have to make a ZIP for every single one..
And Magisk is a bit beyond me, right now.
Give the mod a try. It's relatively simple and I'm always happy to help if you have trouble.
And, if you've made a backup, you always have a way to fix things if it doesn't work.

A little, yes. Look at my reply a few lines up.

I don't know, sorry. But I'd assume that a third-party rom, especially one made by modders for modders, would be deodexed.
If you have a SystemUI.odex or SystemUI.vdex in your SystemUI folder or subfolders then your rom is odexed and you'll need to deodex it to do this mod.

Nope. As long as you make a backup before putting your modified APK back on your phone, you'll be fine.
