CENTER CLOCK MOD​
here are the modded files if you don't want to work this by yourself.
Ok guys, this is the way for make center clock on your cm10 build.
First of all, you need the apktool, zipalign and baksmali/smali tools that i'm going to provide you within this tutorial, notepad++ on your pc and root explorer on your phone.
Here is the step-by-step (on windows):
1. Extract apktool to a new folder.
2. Copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your phone or from cm10 zip to your apktool folder.
3. Create a backup file of your original SystemUI.apk, name it whatever you want (preferably, backup.apk)
4. open cmd and go to your apktool folder.
5. Set up your framework:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
6. Now Decompile SystemUI.apk:
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar d SystemUI.apk
7. In explorer, open your apktool folder and look for this path: /SystemUI/res/layout/
8. Open with notepad++ status_bar.xml and copy the following code:
Code:

9. Save your status_bar.xml
10. Recompile your file
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar b SystemUI New_SystemUI.apk
11. Once it is done building you need to open the backup apk you made at the beginning with Winzip, Winrar, 7zip or your prefered compress tool. Also open New_SystemUI.apk with Winzip, Winrar, 7zip or your prefered compress tool. From inside the New_SystemUI.apk drag resources.arsc and classes.dex to the root of backup.apk and it will replace resources.arsc that is in the apk. You are almost done. From inside New_SystemUI.apk drag the res folder into the backup apk.
12. Copy this modified backup file to Zipalign folder and run the ZipAlign executable. Then run the .bat file. You will find your zipaligned file on the "ZipAlignedApps" folder.
13. Copy the file to your phone.
14. Using Root Explorer, copy your new SystemUI.apk to /system/app, and set 644 permissions ((rw-r--r--) or (tick Read: owner, group, others / Write: owner)
15. Reboot your phone and Enjoy!!!

Nice...Its always goog to guide normal users about how to.

I feel sorry to bother you,
but I did the steps according to your guide, even I did not change anything, but my SystemUI got force close.
Have you got any idea why it does that?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, it seems like the code wasn't placed well. Check the code syntax with this
That might solve your dissapering statusbar

I tired and it said that "No error detected.", but I get FC.
I do not know what can be the problem because I do not modificate anything, but I get FC, it is strange.

Thread re-opened.

Can I try this on Paranoid Android 2.0 ?

OP re-opened and guide updated. Now should work well. No FC and no statusbar dissapering.
About PA 2.0, it should work since it's based on Quarx's builds.

Hello,
I have some remarks.
First of all, the point 10 is wrong in this case because we should use this command:
java -jar apktool b SystemUI New_SystemUI.apk
And there is another remark that I cannot put into words so here is the code:
<TextView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Battery" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/battery_text" androidaddingLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="-3.0dip" android:singleLine="true" />
The interesting one is the "android:gravity="left|center"" causing battery text to orient middle of the status bar.
android:gravity="left|center" is missed from the original code.
Sry for my English.

Thanks, this guide works for me on Quarx' s Defy+ build 04/09
Now i' ve Center Clock, and no FC or disappearing for status bar, thanks :good:

You have right on point 10. It was my mistake when i updated the OP for first time. Now it's ok, i had changed. Good remarks! Thanks!

Java was not found (Smoothscroll)
FIXED:
If anyone runs into the problem of "Java not found" - INSTALL the Java Developer package!
Noob error!
Hi
Referring to the smoothscroll instructions,
1. Extract the baksmali/smali tool to a new folder and put the framework.jar in same folder.
2. Run baksmali manager.bat. - Get an error saying "Java was not found, you will not be able to sign apks or use apktool" (I definitely know I have Java installed.)
3. Select framework.jar by pressing 4 -> 2 in main menu.
4. Press 1 to Baksmali the framework.jar.
5. Make it sure that new 'framework' folder is created and files inside it. (Don't close the baksmali manager window yet!) - assuming this folder hasn't been created due to Java not being found in step 2 above?
Also, copied the Pre-made framework.jar to the system folder..and the phone didnt reboot into CM10.
Appreciate any advice on how to make smooth scroll work

Thank you very much I've wanted a center clock for a while now, and figured I might as well do smooth scrolling while I'm at it. Don't regret it one bit.

crashes with FC on SystemUI
Hi,
I've followed your guide for CM10 Nightly 20121001 and 20121011 versions.
I'm trying to get center clock on my status bar for weeks but i get a FC when I reboot the phone and status bar disappears...
hmm.. I tried to understand the code by comparing with the original status_bar.xml from CM10 nightly and what I saw was just re-ordering and changing parameters for the clock...
so i decided to just ctrl+c ctrl+v the code you've provided. however, it gives me FC... (my device is Nexus S)
any suggestion??

That's because this mod is designed for Motorola defy. I suggest you that you use search function on xda to find proper code for your specific status_bar.xml

REQUIRED STUFF.
-- Apktool. 1.5.0 works best for me, but if not, a previous version is fine too.
-- framework-res.apk from ROM.
-- SystemUI.apk from ROM.
-- Knowledge on decompiling, recompiling apks.
-- Notepad++ recommended.
HOW-TO.
-- Copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk to your folder.
-- Install framework-res.apk. This step is important.
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
-- Decompile framework-res.apk
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
This will give you a folder called framework-res. This is your decompiled apk.
-- Decompile SystemUI.apk
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk
This will give you a folder named SystemUI.
-- Alternatively, you can specify the folder name to be created. For ex : i want framework for framework-res.apk folder :
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk framework
This will name the folder framework.
OR
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk System
This will give you folder named System for decompiled SystemUI.apk
==================================================
IN FRAMEWORK-RES.APK
-- Open framework-res folder. Navigate to res/values, right-click on Dimens.xml and select 'edit with Notepad++' or any other you may prefer.
Find default values of the following values and change it to given values.
res/values/dimens.xml
Code:
<dimen name="thumbnail_height">270.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="thumbnail_width">192.0dip</dimen>
===================================================
IN SYSTEMUI.APK
-- Save file, go back and open your SystemUI folder and open the res/ folder.
-- Copy paste the following code by editing specified files.
res/values/dimens.xml
Code:
<dimen name="thumbnail_height">270.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="thumbnail_width">192.0dip</dimen>
res/values/drawables.xml

apktool b framework-res framework-res2.apk
-- Open SystemUI.apk and SystemUI2.apk with 7-zip. Select open archive.
-- Delete resources.arsc, classes.dex and res folder from original SystemUI.apk
-- Copy resources.arsc, classes.dex and res folder from SystemUI2.apk and paste them into the SystemUI.apk archive.[/COLOR]
-- Now, here, i usually use Apk-Multitool but you can use CMD too. Now you need to zipalign SystemUI.apk. There are different methods, best is to download APkMultiTool and do it. Or if you have the SDK, you can do it directly through command prompt or terminal.
-- Connect phone to PC.
-- Copy SystemUI.apk and framework-res2.apk and rename framework-res2.apk to framework-res.apk.
--Move SystemUI.apk to system/app and set rw-r--r-- permissions. Move framework-res.apk to system/framework and set rw-r--r-- permissions.
-- Reboot and you're done.

What he said. I've mentioned the dpis for the Ace, to do it for another device, you OBVIOUSLY need it to be for jellybean, and the only thing you need to change are the dpis according to yourself..

As in, I meant what are the default values?
I don't have the ace jb systemui, so i don't know the default values..
My idea was that for example stock dpi for height is 250 and according to your guide it needs to be changed to 270.
The change is 30.
So i'll add 30 to the stock dpi for the s3.
So, i was asking for the default values.
Thanks again for your guide.

You do know that XHDPI isnt just chaning 30 dpi no it can be like 110 bigger then ace
Ace stock dip do it X 60% for hdpi and that x60% for xhdpi
Its not that easy
By like well difference is 30 dpi
Well just change same amount on xhdpi to
No no
Its wayy more
-_-
Thats why it bugs for you

great mod dude, thanks:good:

Hey guys,
What's dip or dpi? I thought DPI defined the "visual resolution" of the screen?
For instance, if my device has a screen res of 800x480... for the respective dip changes do I just take 60% of the screen res values?

Dip is different then dpi
If i was correct DIP was
Like
Pixels
So if ur screen is 320
Then when u set 320Dip width
And height is 480
And u set 480dip height it was fullscreen

[GUIDE] Learn to edit APKs | *Very* noob-friendly | Ex. mod: remove brightness slider

Hi. I'm pretty fresh to Android, but I've already fallen in love with it. After getting the courage to root, I've found my phone as customizable as I want. If you want to move past requesting developers to edit this or that for you or just want to learn more about editing neat system files, then this guide is for you. I will be providing a thorough rationale for each step; you don't need to read the rationale to make this work, but kittens will die if you don't. And, if you understand how it all works, you'll be able to mod/edit any APK you ever find! Made possible with help from:
David Dee for inspiring me to mod my phone
grgsiocl for the actual mod
Diamondback for his critical and wonderful integrated developing environment, Virtuous Ten Studio (aka VTS)...thus NO APKTOOL COMMAND LINE REQUIRED. YES. BE HAPPY.
efrant for the helpful ADB clarifications
Chainfire for his wonderful and free adbd insecure app
David Dee, Phoneguy589, psenseny: the three people who liked my post when I said I would write a guide about this.
So, want to make this,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
look like this:
This mod is for US-based Galaxy S3's running 4.1.1. I'm concurrently running this with David Dee's 23 toggle mod, so no problems there. It might work in other phones, too, but I haven't tested them. Of course, everything you do is your own responsibility. I take no ownership of your issues, but I will help if I can!
The overview: If you know how to decompile, save the signature, edit XMLs, and recompile, just follow the instructions in bold red. For the rest of us, we'll be using the user-friendly, fully GUI Virtuous Ten Studio. First, we'll SystemUI.apk. Decompile. Edit XML. Recompile. Push modded SystemUI.apk and finally restart.
Making a Nandroid, setting up adbd insecure for those on stock kernel, and preparing VTS for use!
READ THIS WHOLE TUTORIAL ONCE AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE ACTUALLY STARTING IT. Ask me before you do something you don't know!
Root required. Why: we need to edit files in the /system partition of Android. Only root users will be able to do that.
Make a Nandroid backup right now (either using the wonderful Orange Backup app or reboot to recovery and make it).
I wasn't joking.
Seriously, make a Nandroid backup right now.
If you have the stock kernel (or any kernel that is "secure" [i.e. ro.secure=1 in your build.prop]), then install adbd insecure onto your phone. Why: expediency (i.e. fewer commands to type). VTS will be using ADB, the Android Debugging Bridge, to copy and paste files from our computer to our phone. If you are rooted + stock kernel, ADB runs in a "secure" mode that will make us jump through some hoops to copy files. Your phone has a build.prop file, located in /system. It has a line in there called ro.secure; if it is ro.secure=1, adb will run in this annoying secure mode (EVEN IF YOU ARE ROOTED). Adbd insecure will ignore that ro.secure=1 setting and force adbd to run insecure (get it? adbd insecure is the name of the app? Chainfire, you so clever!)
Now, install Virtuous Ten Studios (VTS) Why: We'll be using VTS exclusively to decompile, edit the XML, and recompile. You will NOT be writing a single line of code into a command prompt or anything. Thank you, modern software.
Read the tutorials gratefully written by Diamondback, et al. They're on the website linked in the link in the step above.
You didn't read them, did you? Jerk. lol, jk. But, seriously, read them. It will make VTS seem not so foreign and scary!
Enable Settings -> USB debugging on your phone.
Run the adbd insecure app on your phone. Check "Enable insecure adbd."
Plug your phone into your computer.
Open VTS. Then "File" -> "Open VTS Settings".
Go to "External Tools" -> "ApkTool". Click "Add single framework". Why: long answer here, haha. APKs are zip files, but if you simply unzipped them and opened an XML file, you'd get garbage. Unreadable junk! That's because the APK has been COMPILED. It was a collection of folders, then it was compiled (which, IMO, just means it was changed into Android-readable-code). We need Windows-readable-code. So, we must decompile the APK. Then we shall see Windows-readable-code organized into neat little folders. But, to change from Android-readable-code to Windows-readable-code, we need some extra files. Namely, your framework-res.apk. It contains some instructions or random junk (no idea what exactly) that will allow us to decompile SystemUI.apk.
Give your framework a tag. It's just a name that you can remember. Framework-res.apks are specific to each phone and each ROM, so if you did LOTS of theming, the tag would be useful in recalling which framework-res.apk this is!
Click OK. Then, click the down arrow next to Remote File. Open the Framework folder and highlight "framework-res.apk." Then click "Import." It'll take 15 or so seconds.
Click OK after the framework installs (you'll see it appear in your window!).
Modifying SystemUI.apk to remove the brightness bar
Let's actually do the mod now, eh? Click File in VTS and click "New Project." Why: Solutions are like "folders" and Projects are like "files" in VTS. It's just to keep you organized. We're going to be editing ONE file, so we'll make ONE solution and inside that solution will be ONE project.
Make sure Apk-Project is highlighted on the "Project" tab. Give the Project and Solution a name; doesn't matter what.
Click Apk-Tool on the left. Inside the framework tag box, type in the name you gave your framework. Or select it from the drop-down menu; whatever works for you.
Click Smali on the left. Choose API Level "4.1 Jelly Bean" Why: we aren't editing Smali (a different kind of code, besides XML), but it can't hurt, right?
Go to Build on the left. Make sure "Sign output file via the following method" is checked and Select "Keep old signature (not recommended)". It's not recommended because sometimes it can cause problems; but, it is the best option for system APKs (not user apks, like Pandora.apk). Why: every app has a signature verifying that it is made by this developer (and not some hacker). Think of a signature as a trip-wire for zipping and compiling APKs. If we do either of those, the signature will go crazy; if you have a "crazy"/tripped signature, your phone will be stuck on the boot logo. So, APKs are basically zip files; the signature is inside both the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file. Again, these files are tripped/changed if you unzip or re-zip or decompile or re-compile your APK (very sensitive!); you don't even have to open them and they will get changed! Thus, VTS, after we recompile, will insert the original META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file (that it backed up when it pulled the APK) back into the now-modified APK.
Go to Import on the left. Click the "..." button on the right. Click the down arrow next to Remote file. Open the System folder.
BEHOLD the wonderful list of all the system apps installed on your phone. Scrooooooollllll down to SystemUI. apk. Select it and click import.
Click "OK" to begin decompiling SystemUI.apk
Wait about 20 seconds. You should be greeted with a set of folders called assets, res, and smali, as well as AndroidManifest.XML, apktook.yml, and buildevents.
Open res -> layout -> tw_status_bar_expanded.xml by DOUBLE-CLICKING it. WARNING: there are about 50 different folders that are called layout-blah and 50 different XML files that have "tw" and "status_bar" there. Make sure you open the right file.
You should get some nice XML code at the bottom. Add exactly this:
Code:
android:visibility="gone"

Then, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE in the XML file. Unless you're feeling adventurous?
Click "Push All" on the top. If you did it right, it shall ask you "Do you want to save changes?"
Click yes. Wait 2 minutes while it re-compiles and pushes the APK to /system/app.
If all went well, your screen will flicker and you'll get the original wallpaper back. No worries. REBOOT YOUR PHONE (this will reload SystemUI.apk, disable adbd insecure, and put /system back in a read-only state: all good things!) and ENJOY NO BRIGHTNESS BAR.
Questions?

Re: [GUIDE] *very* noob-friendly - learn to edit APKs - ex.: remove the brightness sl
I actually just posted a question in the TW themeing sticky thread concerning the brightness slider removal. Can you take a look and see if you might be able to help... Don't want to double post.
Thank You.

Re: [GUIDE] *very* noob-friendly - learn to edit APKs - ex.: remove the brightness sl
Hi! I see! OK. I simply added the android:visibility="gone" instead of changing the dip to 0.0.
To keep a placeholder, add my code just one line below the one I've posted. I don't exactly know how to do it your way.
This will give you a buffer as tall as the original brightness slider, like so:
However, that might be too much of a buffer. Then, I would experiment with some of those dip numbers concerning height and one of them might shrink it for you!

Nice tuto!
Then, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE in the XML file. Unless you're feeling adventurous?

Just for information, the layout file can be eaisly edited with Eclipse or Intellij Idea (both are free, Intellij is better BUT not opensource).
Using these tools is interesting as it can generate a view on your computer of the result.
So it is very easy to be adventurous

Thanks. It's nothing big, but I was excited when I finally got it all to work. Oooh, that would be very handy! Hrmm.....I shall contemplate learning those programs---it's like opening Pandora's box, so many things to do!
I see; thank you for linking that wonderful website (no idea it existed!). So, maybe then, swiftks, keep the edit in the same line, but change it to android:visibility="invisible" ?

just a tip if you are not on a windows machine because windows blows
use apktool... much much moree effective... in my opinion and to edit smali or xmls i use Sublime text editor
also i belive in this same xml u can remove carrier logo and some more fun stuff ;D as well as mess with color.

Good tut!
I was poking around with vts for systemui then i found your tut. Covered the basic startup. Work on my note 2 and s3.
Just to let you know, vts was updated to keep old signature together with the "AndroidManifest.xml" i just used the keep old signature feature and push it to my phone. Real easy no more typing to push. Thankyou very much!!! Much better than using apktool.
Sorry for bumping old thread but i cant resist haha!

Wow, it is so much easier now! Thanks for the heads up.

How to change Carrier ID to Carrier Logo
ikjadoon said:
Hi. I'm pretty fresh to Android, but I've already fallen in love with it. After getting the courage to root, I've found my phone as customizable as I want. If you want to move past requesting developers to edit this or that for you or just want to learn more about editing neat system files, then this guide is for you. I will be providing a thorough rationale for each step; you don't need to read the rationale to make this work, but kittens will die if you don't. And, if you understand how it all works, you'll be able to mod/edit any APK you ever find! Made possible with help from:
David Dee for inspiring me to mod my phone
grgsiocl for the actual mod
Diamondback for his critical and wonderful integrated developing environment, Virtuous Ten Studio (aka VTS)...thus NO APKTOOL COMMAND LINE REQUIRED. YES. BE HAPPY.
efrant for the helpful ADB clarifications
Chainfire for his wonderful and free adbd insecure app
David Dee, Phoneguy589, psenseny: the three people who liked my post when I said I would write a guide about this.
So, want to make this,
look like this:
This mod is for US-based Galaxy S3's running 4.1.1. I'm concurrently running this with David Dee's 23 toggle mod, so no problems there. It might work in other phones, too, but I haven't tested them. Of course, everything you do is your own responsibility. I take no ownership of your issues, but I will help if I can!
The overview: If you know how to decompile, save the signature, edit XMLs, and recompile, just follow the instructions in bold red. For the rest of us, we'll be using the user-friendly, fully GUI Virtuous Ten Studio. First, we'll SystemUI.apk. Decompile. Edit XML. Recompile. Push modded SystemUI.apk and finally restart.
Making a Nandroid, setting up adbd insecure for those on stock kernel, and preparing VTS for use!
READ THIS WHOLE TUTORIAL ONCE AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE ACTUALLY STARTING IT. Ask me before you do something you don't know!
Root required. Why: we need to edit files in the /system partition of Android. Only root users will be able to do that.
Make a Nandroid backup right now (either using the wonderful Orange Backup app or reboot to recovery and make it).
I wasn't joking.
Seriously, make a Nandroid backup right now.
If you have the stock kernel (or any kernel that is "secure" [i.e. ro.secure=1 in your build.prop]), then install adbd insecure onto your phone. Why: expediency (i.e. fewer commands to type). VTS will be using ADB, the Android Debugging Bridge, to copy and paste files from our computer to our phone. If you are rooted + stock kernel, ADB runs in a "secure" mode that will make us jump through some hoops to copy files. Your phone has a build.prop file, located in /system. It has a line in there called ro.secure; if it is ro.secure=1, adb will run in this annoying secure mode (EVEN IF YOU ARE ROOTED). Adbd insecure will ignore that ro.secure=1 setting and force adbd to run insecure (get it? adbd insecure is the name of the app? Chainfire, you so clever!)
Now, install Virtuous Ten Studios (VTS) Why: We'll be using VTS exclusively to decompile, edit the XML, and recompile. You will NOT be writing a single line of code into a command prompt or anything. Thank you, modern software.
Read the tutorials gratefully written by Diamondback, et al. They're on the website linked in the link in the step above.
You didn't read them, did you? Jerk. lol, jk. But, seriously, read them. It will make VTS seem not so foreign and scary!
Enable Settings -> USB debugging on your phone.
Run the adbd insecure app on your phone. Check "Enable insecure adbd."
Plug your phone into your computer.
Open VTS. Then "File" -> "Open VTS Settings".
Go to "External Tools" -> "ApkTool". Click "Add single framework". Why: long answer here, haha. APKs are zip files, but if you simply unzipped them and opened an XML file, you'd get garbage. Unreadable junk! That's because the APK has been COMPILED. It was a collection of folders, then it was compiled (which, IMO, just means it was changed into Android-readable-code). We need Windows-readable-code. So, we must decompile the APK. Then we shall see Windows-readable-code organized into neat little folders. But, to change from Android-readable-code to Windows-readable-code, we need some extra files. Namely, your framework-res.apk. It contains some instructions or random junk (no idea what exactly) that will allow us to decompile SystemUI.apk.
Give your framework a tag. It's just a name that you can remember. Framework-res.apks are specific to each phone and each ROM, so if you did LOTS of theming, the tag would be useful in recalling which framework-res.apk this is!
Click OK. Then, click the down arrow next to Remote File. Open the Framework folder and highlight "framework-res.apk." Then click "Import." It'll take 15 or so seconds.
Click OK after the framework installs (you'll see it appear in your window!).
Modifying SystemUI.apk to remove the brightness bar
Let's actually do the mod now, eh? Click File in VTS and click "New Project." Why: Solutions are like "folders" and Projects are like "files" in VTS. It's just to keep you organized. We're going to be editing ONE file, so we'll make ONE solution and inside that solution will be ONE project.
Make sure Apk-Project is highlighted on the "Project" tab. Give the Project and Solution a name; doesn't matter what.
Click Apk-Tool on the left. Inside the framework tag box, type in the name you gave your framework. Or select it from the drop-down menu; whatever works for you.
Click Smali on the left. Choose API Level "4.1 Jelly Bean" Why: we aren't editing Smali (a different kind of code, besides XML), but it can't hurt, right?
Go to Build on the left. Make sure "Sign output file via the following method" is checked and Select "Keep old signature (not recommended)". It's not recommended because sometimes it can cause problems; but, it is the best option for system APKs (not user apks, like Pandora.apk). Why: every app has a signature verifying that it is made by this developer (and not some hacker). Think of a signature as a trip-wire for zipping and compiling APKs. If we do either of those, the signature will go crazy; if you have a "crazy"/tripped signature, your phone will be stuck on the boot logo. So, APKs are basically zip files; the signature is inside both the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file. Again, these files are tripped/changed if you unzip or re-zip or decompile or re-compile your APK (very sensitive!); you don't even have to open them and they will get changed! Thus, VTS, after we recompile, will insert the original META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file (that it backed up when it pulled the APK) back into the now-modified APK.
Go to Import on the left. Click the "..." button on the right. Click the down arrow next to Remote file. Open the System folder.
BEHOLD the wonderful list of all the system apps installed on your phone. Scrooooooollllll down to SystemUI. apk. Select it and click import.
Click "OK" to begin decompiling SystemUI.apk
Wait about 20 seconds. You should be greeted with a set of folders called assets, res, and smali, as well as AndroidManifest.XML, apktook.yml, and buildevents.
Open res -> layout -> tw_status_bar_expanded.xml by DOUBLE-CLICKING it. WARNING: there are about 50 different folders that are called layout-blah and 50 different XML files that have "tw" and "status_bar" there. Make sure you open the right file.
You should get some nice XML code at the bottom. Add exactly this:
Code:
android:visibility="gone"

Then, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE in the XML file. Unless you're feeling adventurous?
Click "Push All" on the top. If you did it right, it shall ask you "Do you want to save changes?"
Click yes. Wait 2 minutes while it re-compiles and pushes the APK to /system/app.
If all went well, your screen will flicker and you'll get the original wallpaper back. No worries. REBOOT YOUR PHONE (this will reload SystemUI.apk, disable adbd insecure, and put /system back in a read-only state: all good things!) and ENJOY NO BRIGHTNESS BAR.

Hi! Unforunately, I don't know how to do that particular mod. This guide is more to help you decompile/recompile than provide exact instructions for all the other mods.
If you've seen that mod in a ROM, contact the developer! They're pretty friendly folk.

How to add dynamic single line status bar close handle

-decompile your sysui.apk
-open status_bar_tracking.xml in res/layout
-find:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle androidrientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <ImageView android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" android:scaleType="fitXY" /> </com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle>
and change to
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle android:layout_gravity="bottom" androidrientation="vertical" android:id="@id/close" android:background="#ee000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="32.0dip"> <ImageView android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="32.0dip" android:src="@drawable/status_bar_close" android:scaleType="fitXY" /> </com.android.systemui.statusbar.CloseDragHandle>
-open notepad and paste
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><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>
in it and save as an xml file with name status_bar_close in res/drawable
-open drawable-ldpi and paste
the pngs in this zip
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1c1fdhrvcsjivdx/mvss.rar?m
in res/drawable-hdpi (make a folder named so if absent) (u can also paste in drawable-ldpi but it would look far far better in drawable-hdpi)
-recompile apk
-have fun
__-----____-also know,, by using common sense and what you did in this,, you can replicate this to create any image you touch as a dynamic toggle one-----____---
(as in this case, the status bar handle turns blue when pressed)
[If you paste the status_bar_close_on.png in drawable/mdpi (created) ,, then don’t forget to delete the existing status_bar_close_on.png from drawable-ldpi]
(((((((if any one doesnt yet understand what it does,, just know that it means the status bar pull handle will turn blue when you touch it)))))))

"android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" means that your custom text will have same colors and dimensions defined for clock (these are defined in /values/styles: 16dip and Holo Blue Light ).
If You want to add Your dip and your preferred color, just replaces above line with this:
android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffa6a6a6"
Code:
<TextView [COLOR="Red"]android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffa6a6a6"[/COLOR] android:gravity="left|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:text="@string/hello" android:singleLine="true" />
You can change text color and size to fit your needs.
android:textSize="x.0dip"
and android:textColor="#hex code of Your preferred color"
for example #ffdd4814 is Ubuntu Orange
5) Now, the last step:
Navigate to res/values/string
and add this at the end of the file:
Code:
<string name="hello">Your text here</string>
Like this example:
Code:
... <string name="quick_settings_rssi_label">RSSI</string>
<string name="quick_settings_rssi_emergency_only">Emergency Calls Only</string>
<string name="quick_settings_settings_label">Settings</string>
<string name="quick_settings_time_label">Time</string>
<string name="quick_settings_user_label">Me</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_label">Wi-Fi</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_not_connected">Not Connected</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_no_network">No Network</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_off_label">Wi-Fi Off</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_display_label">Wi-Fi Display</string>
<string name="quick_settings_wifi_display_no_connection_label">Wireless Display</string>
<string name="quick_settings_brightness_dialog_title">Brightness</string>
<string name="quick_settings_brightness_dialog_auto_brightness_label">AUTO</string>
<string name="status_bar_help_title">Notifications appear here</string>
<string name="status_bar_help_text">"Access them anytime by swiping down.
Swipe down again for system controls."</string>
<string name="accessibility_sleep_button">Sleep button.</string>
[COLOR="Red"]<string name="hello">Your text here</string>[/COLOR]
</resources>
6) Recompile back ... enjoy!!

I am using win7 64 bit in Turkish. I think this happens because of language and turkish characters. Especially in Turkish majuscule (i) is (İ) instead of (I) as it is in mainly western languages. I think that makes a unharmoniesness in application. I changed clavier in english, but does not work still because language is Turkish. Unfortunately changing language is no t possible once you install it in certain langue. Now i will try it to do in linux. Many thanks for your help.
btw the way, i could not find d\systemui\sta tusbar\AnimatedImageView.smali. is there a typing error or is my bad?

yes.. i think this is the problem. If you will use apktool in a 64bit linux distro, be sure to install necessary dependencies to avoid error 2 during compilation, because aapt & others are 32bit commands and need ia32-libs package to work correctly ...
so, apt-get install ia32-libs

ok.. I found the error
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel [COLOR="Red"]<TextView[/COLOR] android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff" android:gravity="left|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
<TextView is a Class that displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it. A TextView is a fixed text...
Here You are using <com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel that let You to display the Carrier Label using smali to display a dinamic text
so You can't use two classes in one line
When You want to modify color and dip of <com.android. etc ... ... ... > You should add
Code:
android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff"
The correct one is this:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel [COLOR="Red"]android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff"[/COLOR] android:gravity="left|center" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
For example, in KBmeter guide, if You wanna change the color and dip of the kbmeter
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Traffic android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic" android:gravity="right|center" android:id="@id/traffic" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Then delete android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic"
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Traffic [COLOR="Red"]android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic"[/COLOR] android:gravity="right|center" android:id="@id/traffic" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
and add android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff" ... like this:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Traffic [COLOR="Red"]android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffffff"[/COLOR] android:gravity="right|center" android:id="@id/traffic" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Once done, You can delete also the style You created in /values/styles.xml
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Traffic" parent="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock">
<item name="android:textSize">14.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">false</item>

All changes properties work great. The only thing left to do is changing the color of the signals and the clock from blue to white like others. Could you give me some ideas about how to do it please, if you dont mind. Many thanks.

For clock:
decompile systemUI I give to You yesterday
Navigate in /res/values/styles.xml
and open it
search for
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
[COLOR="Red"]<item name="android:textColor">@*android:color/holo_blue_light</item>[/COLOR]
</style>
Change it like this:
Code:
<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@*android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">
<item name="android:textSize">16.0dip</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
[COLOR="Red"]<item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>[/COLOR]
</style>
@adamslast
To change icons to white simply copy and paste this resources in drawable-xhdpi (in decompiled SystemUI) folder overwriting the originals ones
