[Request] Notification bar mods - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys!
I'm a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
First day, unlocked, rooted and Android Revolution HD rom installed!
I'm now trying to get my perfect setup and I need your help!
I'm trying to mod the notification bar like in the Black Exodus theme by Nitroz.
I'd like all icons in white with the black notification bar and the clock in the center of the bar. Next thing I want is when the bar is expanded to get all words in white instead of ICS blue.
Problem is, I'm not able to get it to work.
I've got my systemUI.apk and my Framework-res.apk ready.
Got my apktool installed to decompile and recompile the apk and signapk to sign it.
I've managed to get my SystemUI to decompile and put in a line of code in the status_bar.xml file to get the clock centered.
I then try to recompile it but that's where I fail. It freaks out and gives me a few errors that I don't understand.
I was wondering if the people of XDA would be kind enough to help me out here!
Thanks in advance!

If you changed number of images for battery animation, you'll have to edit "stat_sys_battery.xml" and "stat_sys_battery_charge.xml" in "SystemUI.apk/res/drawable/" otherwise battery icon won't show up. Other icons are just png files.
Dont know where the color of the text is but its somewhere in framework-res.apk. My advice is to do one thing, compile, push and see how it works. If it works, do another edit.
What edits you've made exactly?

I've tried to get the clock centered (which is my main goal)
White icons and white text is a big plus!
I found quite a few tutorials on how to get the clock centered so I guess my code should be solid.
But since I can't recompile my SystemUI file I couldn't see if it worked or not.
It gives me this error message.

You could try AOKP. You can center clock in setting of the rom.
For apktool try to decompile SystemUI.apk over 10. Thats decompiling with dependence and you can install your framework this way.
Over 22 choose your SystemUI.apk. Press 10, some blabla will write in the terminal and you will be asked to put your dependency file. Just drag your framework-res.apk in the window or put the full path to it and that should do it. Then you can decompile with 9.

Yeah I knew you could manually do it in AOKP but I really like the ROM i'm on now.
Oké, I'll try that! Thanks!

It doesn't work. When I try to drag my framework-res.apk when it asks for my dependee apk it says:
"Sorry that's not the dependee apk, try again"
Any ideas?

Damn I'm sure I had the same problem but I can't remember how I fixed it
Well this is what I did and it worked for me. Make sure your apktool is in C:

Yes I did all that.
I stopped messing with it and used a gentle approach and I managed to get it to work. Got my new SystemUI to compile and sign and pushed it back to the phone.
Rebooted my phone and *sign* status bar and softkeys were gone.
changing some .png files aren't the problem. That's easy.
Messing with the code isn't! Any help would be appreciated to get my clock centered with the Android Revolution HD ROM!
Thanks AlisCZ for your help so far!

Sorry. I don't know what you should do now. Statusbar and navbar disappear when you do wrong edit in code. Thats only thing I cant tell you right now. I dont have to sign SystemUI for my AOKP btw

If your using primo in there make sure to use com.htc.resources.apk and framework-red.apk as the framework files, that seems to be the problem.

Decompiled att ion framework-res.APK?

So I noticed we didn't, or I didn't see, a decomplied framework-res and I was looking up some stuff about it and tried a few things and here is the folders I got when I "decomplied" the res,
Assets
Images
Sounds
Webkit
res
508 folders, no reason to list them here
AndroidManifest.XML
From that I feel like something is missing from the decomplie and I wanted to ask before I pursue this more because I want to move in the right direction, I'm not a dev but I like to dawdle and who says an extra person playing with stuff will hurt?
According to Ganesh it's the recompile that hasn't worked out yet. Maybe that's because of what your saying, something is missing from the decompile.

I have another question, different topic but I didn't feel like making another topic and spamming the page, in sys/ Module/ restart/ parameters there is a file called Download_mode and its value is set to 1, does this file, if set to 0, stop the phone from rebooting out of download mode after a set period of time? If so then we should theoretically be able to find one for fast boot?

Now if you try and push it to /system/framework you get boot loop.
And if you change resources, like adding pngs, it will not even compile.
We are missing something else here? Don't know what!

Are you doing this first:
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
Yup
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
what version of APKTOOL you use?
Currently I am using version 1.5, I have no problem to compile or decompile (no error), but when I install framework-res.apk, my phone goes into bootloop.
I tried several utility to sign my file, but so far no result.
The newest version also talking about the att version just to be clear

Hello !
Have anything find a solution to compile correctly framework-res.apk. ???
just found one from Xperia S/Sola forums and it works for our ION :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943855
Followed the steps and changed the showNavigationBar value to true re-compiled the framework-res.apk and copied the resources.arsc from the compiled apk to original apk and pushed it to the Ion, and it worked. Can see the Navigation bar buttons now. The only catch is you cannot change the application backgrounds using the themes.

Thanks for the find and letting us know about it, much appreciated now I wana play with it!
Edited- after reading the linked topic I noticed that step 4 makes me feel stupid for not thinking of that lol but I dont fully understand step 5 and what those two lines of code are for, maybe if I was at my pc I could open it and see but I'm not so in the context what do they do?

Google Keyboard Height

I have been searching for a way to keep my DPI down and have a taller Gboard without root/exposed. My banking app will not work with magisk.
I found this article ( https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/gboard-tweaks-height-sensitivity/amp/ ) and it worked (before I realized my bank app didn't). Obviously I can't use the same process as I don't have root. In the comments there is a guy GWE who makes a statement about editing the APK.
"Decompile the app, go to res/values/arrays, find the keyboard height entry and add your values (sizes like for ex. 1.25, 1.30 etc. and names).
Then go to res/values/strings and make new entries with the names you put in arrays (in my case I went for "extra tall" and "huge"?).
Recompile, now the new values will show in the settings , done!!!"
I have never done this so maybe I'm wrong, but I opened the APK in Android Studio and I couldn't follow the path he had layed out for me. I was hoping that maybe someone could point me in the right direction?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

I too would like to know if this is possible. Like you, I like having a lower DPI but don't like how small it makes the keyboard. I'm done with the days of rooting so hopefully someone knows of a way.
Decompiling an apk requires Apktool.
You need first to install your framework res using "apktool if framework-res.apk" (read on internet how to do this)
When you want to decompile the apk, you have to type "apktool d <apkname.apk>" so you'll get the folder.
Recompiling is "apktool b <decompiled folder name>" and maybe you need to sign the apk after that.
So, is not a super easy process, I think you need to understand better how to do it reading some posts on xda like this one.
Good luck :good:

Thanks for the reply. And I have used APK tool to decompile now as I'm not half asleep messing around I have done a bunch of reading. I have found the files needed to modify and have modified them. Then in the process of the Recompiling I get nothing but errors. (obviously figuring this is me I tested my theory)
If I decompile with apk tool (up to date 2.3.1 and Java 1.8.0) and do not touch the file it still will not recompile. It comes with errors. Now this may be because of framework issues, but in my reading I had found that framework was built into the new apktool? Is that not the case? I will continue reading and I appreciate your reply to me.
Thank you and here is a copy of my log.

Try put apktool folder directly in C:\
backup/download your framework-res.apk file and put it in the apktool folder
remove the previous one (usually in C:\Users\YourName\apktool\framework\1.apk)
browse to c:\apktool folder with cmd and install the framework (apktool if)
decompile (remember .apk at the end)
edit
try recompile
Also note that in the guide it's not used "java -jar apktool.jar d blabla.apk"
Just browse with cmd in the folder and type "apktool d blabla.apk"
Or, search for the error in specific threads, since I think it's not related to apktool, but something on the commands used.

Maybe that is where I'm lost. I have read the apktool framework page (info) and I'm not sure how to find the specific framework I'm looking for? In the mean time I will move to C:/ and try again

The framework res is the file in your phone.
From the official documentation: you need that if you want to decompile proprietary stuff, google keyboard *should not* need this, also because your previous decompilation was succesful, the problem was recompiling.
I always install the framework on every update that comes just to be sure with decompiling things etc, but for now I think you can skip this. But if you're experiencing problems try read that post

Tenn3r - I have read that and figured the same thing you were saying. I will pull the framework from my phone - but as it should be AOSP I dont think I would need it.
The main reason I was using Java -jar is because it gave me actual prompts like when something was happening. When you dont use it you get this...

I have spent entirely too long on a Saturday messing around with this and getting no where simply because I want my keyboard to be a little higher
I have to go do some yard work and stop looking at my computer for a little. But I'll be back at it later. Again thank you for humoring me. It is appreciated.
Ok I had some time so I modified the apk for you: download here
I start thinking the problem could be how you set the files of apktool, since at the very beginning I had some problems too.
So I share with you my apktool folder: download here
Extract those files in "C:\Apktool"
Create shortcut of ApktoolStart.bat on desktop (so you just have to double click on the shortcut)
Type commands "apktool blabla" (no more need of "apktool.jar bla bla")
The txt file is the command you need to execute AFTER you build the apk (will be in "decompiled-folder/dist"), for signing, otherwise install error when try to install on your phone.
For more details visit the tutorial I mentioned some posts before.
P.S: I did not test the apk, so in case of errors you may have to uninstall updates in settings > gboard
Thank you!! I'm gonna try to build it again as my reference but you went above and beyond and I appreciate it!

Any way you could share the apk again? I've tried modifying it myself but just can't seem to get it.
GBoard now supports a floating keyboard: Link. Just skip to the Floating Keyboard section and enable it. No mucking around, it works on top of your apps, and you can position it anywhere on your screen. You can also resize it to whatever you want.

Thanks for the info. Although it looks like there is an upper limit of how large you can make the keyboard, and that upper limit is actually smaller than when the keyboard is docked. Am I doing something wrong? In the screenshots, it looks like you can stretch it to as large as you want.

I was also under that impression, although personally prefer smaller keyboards so I guess I never pushed the upper bounds. Looks like there is indeed a max limit, and it's roughly the size of the docked one-handed mode. Doh...

Decompile, modify, compile SystemUIGoogle.apk - Oreo 8.1

Hi
I used apktool to decompile SystemUIGoogle.apk from stock Oreo 8.1
I changed something and now I'd like to compile again and push modified APK to my Pixel XL.
I was getting error with 9patch PNG, but I need now sign,zippalign etc.
Apktool can do this?
If yes, how?
What tools do I need more?
Some time ago I used APK Multitool and I made changes, then flashable zips, but Oreo is not supported yet, so..any help is appreciated..
Thanks in advance.

You still have to do the modding yourself on your computer..... decompile, mod, recompile, and then install via TWRP. Vrthemer has been around a long time.

Well, I have problem with recompile after modification.
If I attach framework-res.apk, SystemUIGoogle.apk and write what and where to modify, can you do it for me?

ERROR: 9-patch image C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\apk\SystemUIGoogle\res\drawable-xxxhdpi\pip_dismiss_scrim.9.png malformed.
W: No marked region found along edge.

W: ERROR: Failure processing PNG image C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\apk\SystemUIGoogle\res\drawable-xxxhdpi\pip_dismiss_scrim.9.png
I fixed this by deleting pip_dismiss_scrim.9.png from res\drawable-xxxhdpi and from public.xml in res\values (I tried yestarday fixing this in different ways, but with no luck)
And now apk was compiled without errors
Code:
C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\apk>apktool b SystemUIGoogle
I: Using Apktool 2.3.2
W: Could not find sources

But now I need sign, zippalign etc this apk before I push this to my marlin and I don't know how to do it

framework-res.apk and SystemUIGoogle.apk are original.
SystemUIGoogle_unsigned.apk is modded and recompiled.

Oh Man, thanks!!!
It's working!
Finally!
I have + mark next to LTE while active LTE-CA connection on STOCK (+ with H also)
I can't understand why this is default turned off in Android, but finally I have what I want!
Thank you again, now I need to read about VRTheme
Cheers.

The SystemUIGoogle.apk? There is one png file that needs fixed and replaced.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056033865
I can use this file with pie too ?
At my first try i delete the file and everything seems fine. After replace the systemui the phone doesnt boot.
Then i copy the original file back and the phone still not boot
After install firmware with fastboot it still not boot
After wipe data its booting ... that was really strange
