It'll allow you to modify UI, lockscreen, status bar, etc.
How can I use RCTweaks to have a bliss customization.
I don't know if RC Tweaks can directly interchange between Runnymede and Bliss Rosies, but I remember seeing something of the sort in one of the rom threads. not sure though. You can, however, just flash the zips from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318724 to interchange between them.
you can also use rctweaks to get the battery percentage instead of the battery icon....you can have both if you want.

Are battery mods (for the status bar) interchangeable between roms?
Not usually, differences if framework mods between ROMs means that flashing an incompatible battery icon mod can break features and cause bootloops.

In general the answer is no. The images are but not the actual framework since each dev has different mods in the framework.
If you took the framework-res.apk from one ROM and put it in another ROM based on the same framework it may work but other mods and themes might break. Definitely can't do it between say a stock ROM to a Desire or Evo based ROM. Will more than likely boot loop.
Ok. That makes sense. I have found some themes that change the status bar to blue icons and such
If you like a certain battery icon just ask the dev of the ROM your on if they will create a flashable zip for you. If you provide the icons they most likely will.
hi,
quick question: how to edit the quick settings in the drop-down menu (notification tray) in Gingerbread Sense ROMs ? (im using insertcoin)
i want to know ! how to do ?
Maybe this Thread helps you
well unfortunatetly no answer there, just an idea to decompile an .apk and suit it to my needs.
still, anyone ?
Its so simple in MIUI Rom... their is an option in settings/Personal/ Custom Status Bar..
Incase you desperately want the setting, you can try MIUI ;-)
Well it's a difference if you did the thing yourself or if you want to change a HTC based feature without big hacks. I think it's pretty much impossible.
But if there is a solution, let me know - 2G/3G is missing
it is not impossible, in stock you get only a few quick settings, in custom roms (rcmixs, insertcoin) devs extended it - i want to know how, so i can remove the unneeded shortcuts.
robocik: not that easy, you should take a modded systemui.apk and a stock one, decode both with apktool and diff them, that way you will see how it is maked and will be easier for you to modify it.
this is the method, have not tried it yet though.
if any of you intrested guys tries to do this, i really apprecieate your feedback here thx.
and big thanks to robo, not only for all the amazing job he is doing for our community, but also for responding to my Q
I have rooted Desire Z with Virtuous Sence v2 Rom.
Go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071118
and download Extra QuickSettings 0.2
http://www.multiupload.com/W7GXFQJN6R
Extract SystemUI.apk from zip file.
I used DroidExplorer to replace original : system/app/SystemUI.apk
with the downloaded one and have ne quick settings menu.
Is there any way to change "quick settings" with rooting?
If by "change" you mean "add/remove features in the settings list", yes, there is. Check out this thread.
Hi.
Hopefully someone can help me understand this...and a possible solution would be cool too.
I have installed "CleanROM SE 3.0 AT&T Edition" (and several other mods). As well as "Perseus Kernel A-36". All is running very well.
The thing that I'm stuck on is that both the "Lidroid toggle mod" and a battery mod don't work together (I've tried a few...none do the trick). When I flash the toggle mod, I have stock battery. When I flash the battery mod on top, it doesn't work. If I flash the "Stock status bar" mod, and then the battery mod, it works but I lose the toggle mod. Then if I try to flash the toggle mod again, I'm back to stock battery.
If I have to choose between the two, so be it. But if there is a way to have both, I'd love that.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions.
So, should I assume that no one knows anything about this?
It would all hafto be built into the SystemUI.apk together.
Yes, I think I understand that. Unfortunately though, I myself have no idea how to accomplish that. Would you (or anyone else) be able to recommend a source of info?

EDIT: I've re-written this entire post because it got a bit messy and I don't think I explained things very well! Plus I messed up and uploaded the file as an APK and not a ZIP!
I've re-wiped my phone completely because I managed to get it into a muddle! I fully flashed ARHD30.0 & InsertCoin 3.0.5 and I was still getting gapps FC messages and apparently it's a known / common thing so I wiped the SD and everything, allowed Sense to have G+ access and now it's playing nice again! This was without even flashing my MOD! So something went squiffy!
Anyway:
This MOD has been tested on InsertCoin 3.0.5 which is based on the 3.57.401.500 ROM so it may work on other ROMs as well but I can't be certain. I did try this on ARHD30.0 and for some reason when I pressed the torch option it didn't work. Nothing seemed to happen. It could be because /system isn't mounted as RW or the flashlight APK is different or there's a file deny permission to the location where it writes the LED brightness to, I'm not sure yet but will see what it is if I get chance. It works fine on InsertCoin 3.0.5.
All you need to do is download the zip, flash it in recovery and then reboot your phone back into Sense 5.5 for the torch icon to appear and work.
When you pull down the notification tab there's a torch icon next to the quick settings button. You can tap this up to 3 times to increase the flash brightness levels. Pressing a 4th time will turn the torch off again.
I preferred this method because it doesn't just call the HTC Torch application, it actually does control the torch on and off.
I usually run ViperOne but I'm waiting for their sense 5.5 update so decided to throw this together as I like a lockscreen torch type thing!
Usual disclaimer applies, I'm not responsible for boot-looping your phone so please flash at your own risk and make a nandroid before you do!
Please remember to thank me if you think this is any good / you use it! I may change the icon / spacing as I'm not 100% sure I like it at the moment.
Cheers,
Nick
EDIT: MD5 Should be 05CB646CB469DCB0141E416B63340F30
I can confirm that the MD5 for SystemUI.apk on InsertCoin 3.0.5 is a match to 3.0.4 so this MOD should work fine on the newest version also. Feedback is appreciated to let me know if it worked alright for you or not!?
Any suggestions or different torch icons / logos are appreciated too if anyone has a better icon to use!

Sorry to hear it didn't work. It must only work on pure Sense 5.5 based ROMs and not AOSP / Hybrid type ones. Thanks for trying and hopefully you have a backup to go back to?
If not you can copy out the SystemUI.apk from your ARHD GE ROM and put it in the zip file from this thread (overwrite mine that's in there) and re-flash and you will have your old one back.
works great, thanks a lot!
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk
I flashed this in stock deodex sense 5.5 Rom .install but not working
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not sure if anyone is bothered for this but I've updated the style shown in the screenshots in this post. I can provide APK's for ROMs with this mod included and I know why it didn't work on ARHD and possibly stock ROMs etc. You need the following to be run in an init.d script:
chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness
I knew it was a permission issue somewhere but didn't look into it till it didn't work on Viper so I wanted to fix it!
Anyway, if anyone is interested post here, and I'll see what I can do. If you want it with the ROMs battery percentage or mine then let me know!
hey,
i hope you guys here can help me out with some of my problems regarding the slimming process of a rom.
First of all i am only used to flash custom roms. I have not much expierence modifying custom roms at all.
Therefore I will have to ask a lot of questions.
Lets begin:
I am using arco68´s final release of 4.0.4, cygwin and the android kitchen .226
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576874
As the title says i would like to slim down this rom.
Questions regarding the rom :
I started with removing all unnecessary apps. Except for the ones the system needs.
I also removed all sounds and videos but i cannot find the backgroud images/pictures
I would like it to have an all black background
Now i am looking for slim alternatives for a few system apps.
Slim Launcher: Nova?
gallery2.apk -> quickpic?
filemanager -> ???.apk
Furthermore i would like to remove all standard widgets, remove all fonts except the standard one(which one is it)
I am looking for a kernel with maximum battery life span (or should i change govenor and i/o scheduler?)
How do i know if build.prop tweaks work and which are necessary for better battery life and a fluid menu?
How do i slim down the latinime.apk and remove all languages except for german in my case
Questions regarding Gapps:
How do i slim down Gapps? I only need the playstore and sync contacts.
Questions regarding Android Kitchen:
Whats the difference between an update script and an updater script? I don get it...
Are there better tools than the Android Kitchen for beginners or is there a complete readme for the kitchen?

I have found some gapps that work and slimmed them down. I removed pretty much everything except for the playstore and the sync contacts.apk
