|MOD|NavigationBar|ICS - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

-You need a xml editor for this. Something like Notepad++
-This mod is untested because I dont have the device at the moment.
-Make a backup of your current framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk files
-After 2 weeks I believe I found all of what I need for this MOD after going through the framework and Systemui of my Galaxy Nexus
-This did work on my Galaxy Note
-Please try at your own risk
How To
1. Decompile the framework-res
2. In the values folder you will find bools.xml
3. Open up the file and search for "config_showNavigationBar"
4. This should be false, change it to True
5. Open up the dimens.xml and search for "navigation_bar_height"
6. Change the value there to either one of these because im not sure how it would look (25, 30, 35)
7. Recompile your framework-res.apk
8. Extract or Decompile the systemui.apk
9. Navigate to the drawable-hdpi folder
10. Download these NavBar_Icons images and place them in that folder
11. Zip or Recompile the systemui.apk
(OPTIONAL)
After completing the above
Disable the light on the capacitive touch keys(Home-Back-Menu-Search)
1. Decompile the framework-res.apk
2. In the values folder you will find arrays.xml
3. Open that xml and search for "config_autobrightnessbacklightvalues"
4. Change all values to 0
5. Recompile the framework-res.apk​

Thanks!

apktool seems to have trouble with compiling system apks from this leak. What are people using to compile system ICS apks for s2 leaks?

Nah no Hijack...It should cut the screen because the buttons are always on screen on the GNex so Its cuts the screen here as well.
What I will do is try on my GSII on Thursday when I have my day off from work.

People have always wanted them. We were just pushed aside by those who think only their opinions matter. Its part of ics and actually a cool feature. Now those manufacturers making them hardware keys in their néw devices is just stupid. I can understand not wanting them on existing devices but new ones come on. What about the consumer

Themes. Where to get the templates from?

so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now
But I'm having one other problem
I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?

Actually that's possible. I can try workout on that one.
If you don't mind, I would like to port that in my new custom ROM too. It looks cool.
I will spend sometimes later to figure it out. Let you know shortly.
Ps: you can try it out yourself too if you know how and which file to decompile. Otherwise, sit tight and wait.

i think i have minor down which image file they use. however, i assume the file has to compile under .9.png file method which is quite impossible for me to achieve as i am still learning.
so i can't really help you with this. i can be wrong in all this. sorry mate.
gotta continue with my rom.
Well in gingerbread the file is in systemUI.apk and its called status_bar_background.png
No .9png's to mess with. Im not sure about ICS though, if you wanna upload your systemUI I can take a look.
edit: no it doesn't i'm not on samsung sorry.

Theme Help, Looking for PNG Location

I have been trying to find this image and cannot. In the screen shot I am trying to take the progress bar you see in green and go blue with it. I have looked through both frameworks and systemui and anything else I can think of. I can find several twprogressbar PNG's but they are already blue from the theme Im using. Does anyone know where that image is at. Thanks in advance.

			
				
try secdownloadprovider.apk
Just checked. No green pngs in it either. Thanks.
Checked both. The actual provider doesn't even have a Res folder. Kinda odd.
Its an xml not a PNG. I don't have a PC right now so I can't look and tell u the exact one but dazed knows. I would send him a pm. Sorry I couldn't be more help but it changed in ICS and without being able to look I can't remember which it is.

Hey that is awesome. Thank you. I throught I was going insane. Its the only green really left and I wanted to try and change it. I'm not the greatest with XML but I can give it a shot. Thanks again. I'll shoot him a PM after while.
Its really easy to change. If u want u can download my theme or Dazed‘s blue theme or an ICS theme and when u know the exact one u can swap them out or you can open them up and look at it so u get an idea. U need to use something like notepad++ to edit the XML and if your going to make the change yourself your going to need to decompile the apk because just extracting it with 7zip or something won't allow u to edit the XML. U won't be able to read it.

Thanks. Once I know which one it is I may do that. The hardest time I'm having right now is decompiling and recompiling ICS frameworks without issues. I am using APk multi tool and for the life of me I cannot get it to see the project. I try to decompile with dependencies and it says select a project so I do. But it never selects. I'll keep playing with it. But if burst knows which one it is that would be awesome. I see he's now in the thread.

Apk manager is the best. I'm tired so too lazy to read previous posts, but the progress bar XML is progress_horizontal.XML under framework-res.apk > Res > Layout.

I just decompiled that and couldnt seem to see that file in the layout folder. maybe im looking in the wrong place?
Edit, there is one in the drawable folder?
Well I changed out the Progress_horizontal.xml and the TWprogress_horizontal.xml from the drawable folder. I used the framework from Tiffs ICS with a twist of Honey theme v1.0. That damn bar is still green. Verified all the PNGs were right. And made sure that I did indeed get thee right xmls switched over. Not sure what else to try. I looked in the layout folder and there wasn't a file named that in there. and ideas?
My bad, it is drawable. For ICS, it might be a part of SystemUI. (They also placed the battery mods in there.) Try those sub folders and search for "progress". I haven't done any ICS theming as of yet, but I think that should do it.

Nope. OK, time to browse systemui a little better.

OK, so I think I know what my issue is, problem in my process. thanks again. post back when i figure something out. if anyone has anymore input its all welcome.

[REQ] Gradient Fix for settings screen/etc

A while back on my galaxy nexus someone had created a gradient fix which fixes the ugly gradient effect on the settings menus and other programs that use the same gradient.
Anyone that can do the same for this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588613
I'll take a look at it later today. Because recently Google changed the background to an XML file instead of an image like it used to be so it may prove to be useless.

Edit: Yeah unforturnetly i cant port it, since 4.2 its now an xml that controls the background_holo, However i could remove the xml's and then just use the image... hmm... gives me an idea... can you give me your rom's framework-res.apk and be willing to test something for me?
Yea sure, where do i find that file with root manager?

No.. they've already acknowledged the issue and promised a fix. Just didn't happen in time for the 4.2.1 update (they had to fix that December bug quickly)
I think UBER forgot about this
There has to be a way! Can the ROMS be modified to look at a png instead of a xml file?

Ahh, really? I missed that! Thanks
I always just assumed that's how they designed it, I mean the first time if it was an image, someone had to have designed and approved that image right? That's why I always just assumed that's what they wanted it to look like, Cuz they could have just used a plain image if they intended it to be a flat background.... Lol,
(Now this makes me think they DID intend it to look like that, but when sooooo many users said they didn't like it they decided "hmm, let's just call it a bug and we'll change it later" hahaha)

Rotating touchwiz?

So, after a few searches, both on Google and on the forums, I cannot find this mod.
Does anyone know of a stock touchwiz launcher, modified to rotate?
I hate it when my phone is in landscape on the table or something, and I have to work with a portrait launcher. But I like the stock touchwiz, and would like to keep it.

You can set it to not show the icon in the status bar.

Lol, I'm such a noob!
Now if only I could get that last row of apps to show, that would be nice.

i dont think you can with this app because it doesnt readjust the grid it just rotates and squishes it so most of it fits

Right, there's a bit of the top showing though, and I can still open the app.
Except for the one in the middle, because the page indicator is right there.
I would still prefer a modified launcher though.
But I'm using this until, hopefully, someday a modded touchwiz appears on the scene.
I remember I had one on my Galaxy s 4g.

How are you at custom work. In your framework-res.apk. decompile. Find /res/values/bools.XML. change "config_allowAllRotations" to true
Change "enableLockScreenRotation" to true.
Save recompile install. Enjoy

If it is not too much to ask, Can you Please do this for us coz i need this for my phone too. right now i am using Apex Launcher but i would rather use TouchWiz. if you decompile it and then upload it here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. i don't know anything about decompiling otherwise i would do it myself..
I'm on gs3. Can you upload a copy of yours?
Can you put it in dropbox? I can take a look after work.

I tried uploading my framework res. apk, but it's too big a file.
I'm trying to learn how to decompile, but my step daughter just took the computer from me, to talk to her grandma in Brazil.
I'm gonna try later though.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm a noob at decompiling.
So what I did was change the extension from framework-res.apk to .zip, and extract it.
In the /res/ folder there is no /values folder.
I've been searching for a bools.xml folder, but no luck.
Is this something that will only show by decompiling?
Or is the GN2 framework diferent from the GS3 one?
TIA
That would work to edit images. You need to use apktool (search it ) to decompile the file before you can edit those values. I will be home in about an hour if you can find somewhere to upload it i can take a look. However i believe if you look up apktool it will be pretty easy to do yourself. Just dont forgot to make a backup in case something goes off

Yeah, I've been following this guide, but I always get an error when decompiling.
Hmm, let me try a dropbox link.
Let me know if that was successful.
Thanks for all your help!
Modded framework
http://db.tt/8HUWcSFN
needs renamed because I'm lazy
Here is a flashable zip. Disregard it saying edge zoom. It's an old zip. It works on s3 may not be the right flasher for you but you can try it
http://db.tt/biIOIpUC
Oh yes also. I looked at the guide you are following and got lost. There are several quality guides on this site. Here is a good one for beginners

Thanks for all your trouble.
However, I got the file on your first link, renamed it to framework-res.apk, and copied it to system/framework.
As I started to get a lot of force closes, I did a reboot.
This resulted in an endless boot loop, which forced me to pull my battery, get into recovery, and restore my system.
So back to the drawing board, I guess.
I still appreciate all your help. Thanks for using your time to help a stranger. :thumbup:

I'm uploading a zip to replace the modded with the original. Try installing from recovery and if that still boot loops try fixing permissions. Only thing i changed was the bools.XML
If it still fails you should be able to use this remove zip

So, you're saying flash the the zip on the second link in your previous post.
And if that goes wrong, flash the zip on this latest post?
I'm at work right now, but I'll try later tonight.
Thanks.

Funny I'm just headed out to work. The first post has a zip to install screen rotating. The second post is your unmodified original framework so when you try the modified again. if it does not work, you can replace with the original file from the second post instead of having to wait through a full reset
That does seem odd. Maybe it's the flashable file. It was for my gs3. I've replaced them with the update scripts from a Galaxy note 2 package. They are the same download links as before. I verified that it is the modified file there. Was there any error? Did you verify that it actually copied the file? Easiest to tell by looking at the date it was modified. Its really not that great of a mod anyway. The constant rotation gets annoying and this method doesn't give a toggle. Still try the new zips and see if that makes the difference

Well, I flashed the ScreenRotation.Zip, and while nothing wrong happened, nothing happened at all! Everything is just normal, no screen rotation.
Bummer, huh?
