[FIXED] Themes breaks Quick Panel Settings? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all! First off, I'm ashamed to say that the posting of my first thread here on the SE4G forums is a problem that may or may not be solved, but I need help with an issue I'm running into on multiple roms, and I couldn't find an answer anywhere here on the boards or on Google, so here goes:
Every time I flash a new theme, it ALWAYS breaks the quick panel settings (Or the status bar power menu if you will). Now when I say break, I don't mean it completely screws up, it still works, but I only want four icons on the quick panel: Wifi, Data, Sound, and Airplane Mode. I reboot, and try to reset the panel settings to see if the unwanted buttons will go away, but they stay there, even if I check EVERYTHING, it's the same 5 buttons, and not even the different sound/vibration options work. Like I said, quick panel settings work only if I'm on the stock version of the rom, but as soon as I flash a theme, ANY theme, it breaks. What gives?

The quick panel settings mod modifies SystemUI.apk. SystemUI dictates how the status bar and notification area should look and act. So when you flash a new theme, it overwrites said modifications rendering the quick panel settings application useless. The theme you choose to flash would have had to implement the quick panel settings mod to not break it. If you have a theme that you would like to use the quick panel settings with, you will need to ask the themer to add it, add it yourself, or flash a theme with the mod implemented. You could flash the quick panel mod again, but you would lose theming on the status bar and notifications area.
If you have a theme with the lock mod and not just the quick panel settings mod, try going into settings and searching through lockscreen parts. There will be plenty of options to mess around with. There is an option for the quick panel widget.
Hope that helps! It would suck if I wrote that out and it didn't.
P.S. Excellent paragraph. Proper grammar and spelling make me smile! It shouldn't, but this is the internet and people are stupid.

I'm not 100% sure what could b going on.. but does the theme u have include a lockmod??
Can u be more specific please.. what rom are you on now? And what theme do u flash?
If the theme u flashed has a lockmod then quick settings panel won't be any help to you
You have to go to settings>lockscreen settings and look for the settings for the widgets in the status bar section there u can check whatever u want and don't want and change order

Right now I'm on CleanGB. But no matter whether it be CleanGB, StarskyROM, MarcusantROM, etc., if it's based on the EI22 rom, it breaks. And I also flashed the ICS AOSPlock theme. I've tried a couple other themes are as well (Stock EI22 theme, the Sony theme, etc.) they break it too. Maybe it's an EI22 thing? Or maybe my phone just hates themes.
EDIT: I totally didn't see your post there, darkierawr lol. Thank you for the bit of info though! I recently seen that Gitusum has recently left us here at XDA, so maybe we won't get an update on his ICS theme. But again, thank you! I finally have an understanding of whats going on and can now begin looking for resolutions to this issue.
EDIT 2: ************* HUZZAH!! Got it working =D Gitusum has an addon called the scrolling status bar, so I flashed that, and then nothing. Then I went back to CWM, mounted /system, flashed the .zip again, and SUCCESS! Thank you guys once again for pointing me in the right direction. XDA coming through to help out the less experienced once again! Haha. Now all we need is a mod to lock this thread, or possibly leave it up just incase anybody else runs through the same issue, and not only with the ICS theme?

Questions on Myn's Warm 2.2

I really like this ROM, but there are a couple of things I would like to change, and I just don't know how. If anyone can help me, I'd be really grateful...
1) I would like to keep the transparent status bar, but I would prefer all the stock icons. How can I do this?
2) I would like to use stock widgets not themed ones, is there a way to do this? The reason is that when I download additional widgets from HTC, the look is not consistent. If there is a way to theme the other widgets, I would like that even better.
3) I like the transparent launcher, but some of the buttons do not "light up" when you touch them. The behavior is inconsistent - a small thing, but annoying. If I could move the buttons further apart, I would like that too - like the Lowrider launcher.
Thanks in advance for your help...
Matt_TX.
PS: If these things are fixed in RLS3 I would be happy to donate to myn (in fact I will do so anyway as he has done great work) please let me know...
What I would do is grab a stock rom, pull the apks and other files you want to stay stock then use them to replace the same files in Myn's rom and then flash that. You might have to sign the zip, but I'm not sure and no guarantee that this won't break other stuff.
I love this tom but one thing is ticking me off. If I play my music with headphones on. The sounds keep fading in and out. How can I fix this?
I am also looking for the stock icons in notification bar, while leaving the bar opaque black (instead of transparent in your case).
Edit: nvm did this myself.
Do you have compression selected under the DSPManager. When I unselected it it stopped doing that for me.

[REQUEST]Help Theme My Rom

Is anyone good with transparancy? If so would you mind helping me with my rom? You can pm me, add me on aim, gtalk, or msn all of them are the same screen name [email protected],gmail,live.com I would really appreciate it. The rom is bases of stock 3.70 deodex. Thanks in advance!
Already on board
Remember that fix I told you about that I was trying to accomplish today? Well I started it and it messed up my entire status bar and notification window. I have the GB battery with froyo icons, and GB notifications. The status bar isn't fully black but it's not transparent you can't see through it at all no matter how bright the wallpaper is. The notification window is all black which I also want to be transparent. It's like I did the complete opposite of turning it transparent and made it like a blackout theme lol which I didn't want to do. I'm going to put the notification bar toggles in there and send you the framework-res.apk in a couple minutes.

alright shouldn't be too hard for me to fix this
Here Is The Framework-res.apk
I also removed all GB from the rom because it was having to many problems to find out where the error is so everything is pretty much stock. Only thing included is 4in1 reboot, 4x5 workspace and appdraw, I was putting the hotspot hack in but I don't think it worked out but I should be able to fix that.
Edit removed old framework
Here is my new framework I haven't found any problems with this one. It has a 4x5 workspace, app draw, 4 in 1 reboot, power widgets in the notifications, and sprint hotspot hack. Next i want to change the dock from stock to GB, then after that work on the status bar.

UOT Kitchen

Hello people. I'm seeing alot of battery mod threads but if you want a little more customisation head over to the UOT kitchen and bake your own framework/system ui.
I did it yesterday and it worked perfectly. You just need clockwork recovery and your away.
Link : http://uot.dakra.lt/
Be sure to head over to this thread and hit thanks. Mendozinas put in alot of work :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829
I'm just putting this out there for people new to android or that don't know about the kitchen.
Its a great tool!
Enjoy!
Great heads up, i see ti now works with stock ROM's as well, wish they would add the CRT effect though.
this is a good website but unfortunately all that it changes for me is the battery icon and nothing else on status bar or notification area, i am confused whats up with it, its not just this its every theme i try to install does the same
well, the main prob with kitchen and our phones (S series and S2 too) is Touchwizz.
modifications via kitchen only affect framework-res.apk ;touchwizz needs modifications on twframework too.
knowing this, you can still use kitchen for :
-battery icons.
-notification icons
-glowing (at least for sliders bars and a part of the pop-up windows IF they aren't managed by twframework ).
haven't tried mods on status bars yet with my S2 but they were ok with my old galaxy S so it's probably the same.
P.S :
as always with themes, don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache after applying it viaCWM
hope it helps
Can someone provide me framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from stock KE7? Thanks.
How to submit it? I selected what I needed, uploaded framework-res.apk and systemui.apk but when I click Submit button nothing happens!
OK, I figured it out. But I can't select 'Transparent Status Bar' only, I don't want any modifications on status bar but just to make it Transparent! Maybe it's not allowed!

Can you choose status bar then not put a tick in the box for icons?
That should work.

Well the Transparent Bar is not working for me. Just for me I just selected only Transparent Bar and nothing else, but it's the same damn black status bar in the end
Try with ADW launcher for the transparent statusbar and disable wallpaper hack

Ain't you supposed to upload the twframework.apk along with the framework-res and systemui? I did and everything changed, battery, signal, wifi, alarm, menus, pop ups, font, everything I told it to its changed everytime.

Hi all, hope your well.
Thank you directing us to the kithen. I have tried to use but seem to have an issue. When I select a mod, and click generate preview, it doesnt do it. It tries to generate it but then just times out. Anyone else had/having the same issue? Am I missing something or could it just be my internet?
Everything else works fine on my internet.
Thanks in advance guys!!
EDIT: Sorted. It just started to work.

Sense Question

Im running the latest OTA on my dinc, I was wondering if there is an easy way to put the sense 2.1 status bar in sense 1.0 for the convenient quick settings tab, or is that doing some major customization work?
Thanks.

There is quite a bit of work involved in getting the quick settings working on 4.08.605.15. I managed to get qs tab and advanced power menu to work on my rom Touch of blue which is based on 4.08.605.15. However the qs tabs descriptions are wrong, they say low memory or low on space instead of on or off. Everything else is perfect and functional. I had to take a mod from the original gb ota, and modify it to get it to work. I just cant figure out the qs descriptions. There are several system files that need to be edited to get it to work. You could always try my rom. Its mostly stock just with a slight blue theme and the advanced features everyone wants. You can find the link to it in my sig.

Well, I don't know of any easy way to do that, but you should check out some apps. For example, I am running a Jellybean rom and I do not how the quick settings in the status bar. so, what i did is i downloaded an app called "notification toggle" from the play store. It is free, works well, and it does what it needs to. It also has a brightness and volume slider. check it out.

Notification Bar Color changer

If anyone wants to try this, It might be a great app for the users that have a hard time seeing the grey on black that the present notification bar is displayed on the stock jelly bean ROM. I have tried a bunch of apps that change the bar's colors and some are really vivid, but are not able to display active things that pop in the bar like weather beetle, screebl icon, etc. It should be possible even without root, because the apps that are already available, can work on non rooted phones. All I want to do is change the color. That ought to be a piece of cake for someone familiar with the inner workings of the jelly bean ROM! If root is required, then so be it! either way would really rock!
I hope someone will jump on this and make it an aroma with color options when flashing....Just change the color!
Thanke!
Like the idea, but to get better help with this you're better off putting it in themes and apps section.

Thanks! I didn't know where the post would be most effective. Maybe a mod could move it there, rather than me double posting.
Thanks!
Hope there is someone that can do it for us!
Aloha!
I let them no, hope someone helps you out.
The Themes and Apps section is really for releases, mods and apks (once you boil it down). This is more of a request type thing. Maybe I can put it in Q&A?
Thoughts?
*****
Also you can check out the general Android Themes section too. IIRC in the old days, we used to use Metamorph and ZipThemer and you could use the correct xmls and they would replace your pre-existing files in the Framework-res.apk and make a redo.zip (only ZipThemer did this) that you could flash. But like I said that was in the old days before we ever had a systemUI.
I wasn't too sure but thought metamorph was his best bet. I've personally never used it... Q&A is good though, I think.
