[Q] Quick Settings edit

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.

[Q] A few modding questions

Hi guys,
I'm a former i9100 owner and recent buyer of a Gnexus :victory:
I'm getting this new phone in 3 days , in the meanwhile i've done some research on XDA but there are some points which are still unclear to me.
I hope someone can help me out.
1) How can i change softkeys DPI? ( I mean how can i make them smaller so the screen for apps is bigger? )
1bis) How can i make the black bar transparent so the keys stay directly on wallpaper?
2) I've seen I can change softkeys and that's cool. Can i change also which buttons are displayed? ( for example i never use the right one, the open tasks manager ).
Thanks in advance!

1) Custom roms (most) have this option.
---If your rom does not have this option you can use This Guide (ignore the edits made in the video)
Instead navigate to \framework-res\res\values\dimens.xml
And edit these three lines:
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">42.0dip</dimen>
To the height you'd prefer.
YOU NEED to be on a deodexed (all custom roms...any rom you flash.)
Personally, I take it down to 0.0 dip and use LMTPie instead.
1bis[lolwut]) Eh. There are some hackey little tweaks that a few are making...
Personally; I think you end up with too many bugs and it isn't worth it.
2)Yes, via custom roms.

I think most people who like a stock feel are using "Mmuzzy" builds.
I personally run the heavily modified AOKP.
Edit:
Also, as for your "customizing nav buttons" question...
This is definitely not a stock feature...so it wouldn't be in stock rooted.
AOKP and I'm sure others that are 4.2 based include the option.
There isn't a publicly available 4.2.1 build for AOKP, however. The team is working on mashing all of the features back in.

Ok sorry for the dumb question but...how does AOPK roms behave on gnexus?
on my i9100 anything which is NOT based on stock (ie cyanogen) has a massive battery life penalty compared to stock-based. For example with my stock based+ custom kernel i can achieve around 35 hours with normal usage ( 1 hour call, whatsap and browser ) while on cyanogen i dont get such results.
This is why i take stock roms deodexed and work on them

You want mods added to a ROM? Editing a current ROM is a horrible way to go about it when you have all this source code laying around. There is currently a help thread in this nexus forum explaining EXACTLY what you want.

there are a lot better launchers than the Go one you tried. ADW for one is way better with Nova coming in very close.
You could also install the Xposed framework that has a couple modules that will help you change lots of visual elements. It also allows you to fine tune and add nice features to your OS.

did you try with buzz laucher?

no not yet...ive installed adw and spent the day with it...il check for the buzz one...

well tried nova and buzz and none of them satisfies my needs....its really the notification bar that bugs me the most. and the other thing is that i have a locked bootloader and unlockable...
i really dont know if im gonna change the firmware,i guess im too used to the samsung way to flash hehehe
is there a stock rom/ firmware with the BLUE notification bar ?...and DONT talk about Cyanogen PLEASE

ive dloaded xposed famework and install
i bought xposed statusbar mod...tried everything and only tha batt and clock goes to blue color...

cusromize ur rom
I don't think you can do so with any launchers you have to customize rom .

i wont...its gonna go back to the store

Are you really giving up that easily? And what is this white bar you're talking about, the small one between notifications and quick settings?
This has a blue theme that might be what you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239387

Yhe bar im talking about is the one with clock,batt,signal,wifi ect.
i got Xposed to work by changing icon pack and now the wifi and signal icon is too small.
ive read most of th thread you linked to but as i can see,its for unlocked bootloaders....as mentioned above,i cant unlock mine.
and i read somewher also that he's getting bored with his phone...with that said (in my mind it says its a pita to work on ) hehehe.
im an old ***** that want thing fast and quickly done...another point for samsung flashing method with odin

It says right in the title thread that it's for locked bootloaders...
And what you're looking to change are the statusbar icon colors. That bar at the top is the status bar. Notification panel is when you slide the status bar down and you can see your notifications.

Yea, don't give up that early
There are a couple stock roms like the one posted above and a flashable dark mode for most system apps.

Download the ROM either on the phone, or on your computer and copy it to your phone, I suggest using an app like titanium to backup your apps and settings then go into recovery by pressing volume key as the phone boots then install > select the downloaded ROM > wait > once it's done, reboot, enjoy.

Damned piece of crap...
ive done a full recovery of the firmware from pc companion
now ive lost data transfer....only got phone working
im done....im sick of it
