[MOD] ALL circle NOTIFICATION bar. CONCEPT

Hi all,
The other day when I was having a drink or two & looking at the screen of my SGS, I got this brilliant idea. I am an architect & the architect in me said, DO CIRCLES.
From Top-Right, Circle Clock, Circle Battery, Circle Signal Strength, Circle 3G Strength, Circle Bluetooth.
I asked franklin01 if he could help me with Circle 3G, he has shown me an example here.
To any developer thats interested in developing this further, Give credit to franklin01 first, then to me for posting an idea that will make your SGS screen a better looking one.
Well, I am asking everyone if they have any ideas. Bring out the designer in you & suggest ways to improve this idea. I will start posting all your ideas in the first post. Thanks.
I am posting all the png's related to my post. If I have missed a few, tell me.
Unleash the designer in you, lets see some results.
- EarlZ - Nice but if there was a mode id love to see my signal strength in dBM instead of the boring bars.

All circle:
This is just a test, it is awful but it works so if someone want to try/edit/make something beautiful feel free to do.
How to:
Get system\framework\framework-res.apk from your phone (using adb or root explorer).
Open it using 7zip (or winrar but 7zip is better to repack).
Extract res\drawable-hdpi\
Edit png you need (open to see which one is)
Then put things back to the framework-res.apk (using 7zip, drag and drop modified files)
Put back framework-res.apk to your phone (using adb, root explorer or update.zip method).
Here is my moded all circle awful mod... tested on JP6/JPM and the update works with CW and 2e recovery (rename to update.zip).
WARNING:
Can damage your phone as usual (well if you have JP6/JPM it works fine, no worries) but can also damage your eyes ! (it is just a test, I am no artist and this mod is awful... should not edit with mspaint)

Work started. I have only 66 files that need to be modified. I am going with white, light-grey, dark-grey concept for the first attempt. All ideas are welcome.

The website designer in me says, not everything looks good in a circle.....
But on a serious note, a well conceived idea.
Hopefully this catches up.....
Oh. By the way, if you have the PSD's, do send them over and I will try make them just a wee bit better if you like. Or I could design some and send them across anyway.

good job

Well this was just a test, I used circle battery mod png to do, but I think a designer can do a better work than I did... (obviously)
Work on it, and edit everything you can, I saw the "puzzle" picture in the file so there is a lot of things to play with
Also I ll try to figure if it is possible to unpack/repack the framework-res.apk from the phone using some .sh scripts so we could manage mods directly from the phone (add or remove custom icon without having to copy an entire framework-res.apk to get some space.)

Do you work in CorelDRAW? I have drafted the design outlines in AutoCAD for accuracy, imported into CorelDRAW for joining the curves, & the template is ready.
We can work together.

Oops....
My bad for the late reply. Was terribly busy with a few deadlines.
To your question about Corel Draw. Sorry pal. No Corel for me. Pure Adobe stuff. But since you have the PNG's attached, I should be able to make something up over the weekend (perhaps). All still tentative for the next 5 - 6 days, but the concept is interesting and would like to chip in to it.

Just wondering instead of bars/circle indicators can we show the raw signal like -89dbm

I am not quite sure how that can be done on Android. I had that after jailbreaking my iphone for quite some time.
Anyone who understands dBm, I am sure, will find that nifty. Let me see if I can get something worked out over the weekend. Was planning to take a couple of days off to design a theme for myself anyway.
Perhaps a few pointers from you could help. Will the "Status" under "About Phone" help? That shows the Signal Strength in dBm.

From my own understanding the phone bases the graphical bars on the raw dbm measurements, like example -100 to 89 = 1bar.. Signal Widget also shows the raw dbm numbers.
EDIT:
Thats what I mean the dbm showed after "About Phone" should be reflected on the notification bar.. if its possible and not bars.. well thats just me.

Hi thanks for coming forward to help. the signal strength can be shown within the circle as dBm if possible.
Anyway, I am posting a jpg of my draft, see if it helps.

I dont think it is possible but you can try:
Download apktool http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
exe and bat: http://code.google.com/p/android-ap...ol-install-windows-2.2_r01-3.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
apktool.jar: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/detail?name=apktool1.3.2.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
Extract everything in a folder.
run cmd
cd *apktoolfolder*
apktool.bat d framewor-res.apk framework_extract
(to extract apk file)
(change things)
apktool.bat b framework_extract framework-res-mod.apk
(to rebuild the apk)
then use adb or rootexplorer to push your modded apk.
The thing is that there is no stat_sys_signal.xml (like stat_sys_battery.xml to manage how battery is shown) I tried to add one using settings from the battery xml but after phone reboot I am stopped by a black screen, even after wipe/reset so maybe my rebuild failed or maybe the stat_sys_signal.xml I added messed up the whole framework.
Best we can do atm is to edit signal png to show average dbm since 0 bar means -100, 1 bar means -89, 2 bars means - something etc...
Also if keeping the circle concept I doubt -89 dbm written inside a circle will be readable.
(working on aiork atm but at next kernel compiling I will try to look at this topic since compiling on a netbook takes age...)
Keep it up, it can be awesom.

[Q] Themes for Unity 1.26 on G2/DZ

Not sure if this goes here or in Q&A, sorry if I'm wrong
I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15014591&postcount=183
and i had previously flash a theme that was for the Desire HD and it worked grate.
Will this be the case with a Incredible S theme, or do a risk messing to bad (brick and the sort) my G2
I'm still trying the doubleshot ROM, but once I put Unity 1.26 Id like to try this them, is it a high risk?
By the way, I can't seem to find themes made by G2/DZ people, do we lack theme creator? XP

We do lack themers for the DZ/G2. But if you using unity all of the themes designed for other handsets should work. Do a nandroid incase though. I have tried most of the DHD themes on my DZ and not had any problems

I would love to have the 4G icon instead of H like the U.S. Sensation, but I haven't found it yet. Any takers?

It would be fairly easy to create a flashable zip to change the H icon to a 4G icon. If I get the chance I will have a look into it for you.
Or modifying it your self wouldn't be to hard. You just need to extract the 4G icons from a Rom that you know has them. I can't remember exactly if they are in framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk. then using adb pull the appropriate files from the phone, rename the .png's and swap them using 7zip and push them back to your phone

can someone let me know if this systemui.apk removes the H and replaces it with 4G? or if you get errors? I run cm7 and I'm not about to install unity just to test.

FYI, 4G icons are already in unity's systemui.apk... it should just be a matter of renaming them so that they are picked up in place of "H". this is what I did in the above post's systemui.apk

Confirmed here that it works, although it also seems to mess up my notification pulldown background. See attached screenshots. First screenshot shows the 4G icon. Second screenshot shows how my notification background was changed. Third screenshot shows how it should look (after I reverted back to my SystemUI.apk). It looks like the UI is using some other graphic in your APK that is intended for another, much smaller element, and scaling it up to fit somehow.

pmcqueen said:
nothing else in the apk was modified aside from deleting the H pngs and duplicating the 4G pngs, then naming them as the H's, effectively replacing H with 4G, so I'm not sure why status bar images would have been modified.

Hrm, interesting. I diff'd all the graphics between the two SystemUI.apk files, and aside from the 4G changes, all the other differences were with the so-called "9-patch" PNGs (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html):

I compared this against the SystemUI.apk from Virtuous Unity 1.26.0, and the PNGs match what I have, not what is in your APK. So I suspect your source of the other PNGs (not related to the 4G changes) has somehow been tainted. Your 9-patch PNGs all have an extra 1-pixel border around the outside, with visible black bars indicating the stretchable areas (see the URL above for an illustration). Those are not present in the VU ROM. Those black pixels then get stretched and smoothed out, which results in the screenshot I posted earlier.
Here's the VU 1.26.0 SystemUI.apk, if you want to peek inside at the "*.9.png" files to see the difference: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2639253/SystemUI.apk

yeah, let me try from scratch again. give me an hour or so, about to eat lunch.

Good luck pmcqueen i hope it works! i will check back later! (have a nice lunch?)

hey, I already posted this in the Unity development thread, tell me if this works for u guys too. I used the zip from xboarders 4g icons zip and changed the systemUI.apk to the one that I modified (and works for me) with the 4g icons for unity. I just changed the names of the H and 4g png files and so far no problems at all.

Right, that should work, and is the same approach pmcqueen took. As long as your 9-patch PNGs are fine, this mod should work. Keep in mind though, this replaces the entire SystemUI.apk, which includes a ton of other icons and graphic elements. Anyone who has a custom theme in there will lose what they have.
The best approach would be to patch just the PNG files inside the APK, but I'm not familiar enough with Android themeing to suggest how to do that (aside from manually doing it).

Wait DaygosTommyT's zip file works correctly? no graphical issues with the drop down? im not going to have any other themes on my phone so would this zip work for me? all i want to change is the h icon to 4g... thanks? haha

Calkulins Custom Rom 1x indacator

I'm currently using Calkulins v2.0.1a Rom good stuff....the best except for 1x indicator addition.

What? You don't want to know when Sprint is messing with you and providing you a 1x connection?
I think it is in SystemUI.apk

No I don't think so. I'm running 2.0.1 and my indicator is showing correctly, and it also flips back to 3G from 1x just fine. Unless something broke it in 2.0.1a which i highly doubt, since the update to (a) just fixed a few App FCs.

I'm curious, when you are seeing these speeds, what does ##DEBUG# -> Data Status say, 1x or EVDO? I've never seen 3G ping times at 1000+ms. I often see 1x ping times > 800ms.

[Q] Show H+/4G for HSPAP:15

Hey there! So I have the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile and from doing research I've learned that when my phone is showing HSPAP:15 under Mobile Network Type that mean's it's connected to HSPA+. So what I'd like to do is figure out where in Android it decides which icon to use based on network type, and have it use the provided 4G icon in the SystemUI.apk when it's HSPAP:15 instead of HSDPA:9 so I can visually see when my phone is on H or H+. Now I know people have made tons of zips that just change the H to always be 4G. But I want to see when I'm on normal HSPA or HSPA+. SO! My real question is, where do I even look to find this out? Any developers out there wanna help me out? Or maybe even create a flashable .zip for AOKP b34?
Thanks!

Unzip the GSM ROM (or use 7zip and open w/o unzipping) and look in the drawables folder. Find the icons you want to change and note their names. Download an LTE ROM and do the same, but pull out the 4G icons and rename them to what you want them to replace. Copy/Paste/Replace, close the ROM and flash it.
That's the low-tech way. You could also get someone to make a flashable .zip for you.

This doesn't quite accomplish what I want. I could replace the H icon with the 4G one (already in the SystemUI.apk on AOKP) but then it always shows 4G and never H. I want to see H on normal and 4G on HSPA+. I realize this is probably going to be a little more difficult than swapping an image. That's why I'm asking .

Well if the device doesn't have a trigger for HSDPA:9 and HSPAP:15 to have different icons, it's going to be a serious hack to get it to recognize the difference and display the "relevant" icon.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm pretty sure there's no trigger for different icons. So yeah back to my original question. I'll continue my research and maybe someone here can point me in the direction!

Yes..in development u can post to tell us how to modify the framework, not to request how to do it

I'm also interested in this.
I'm using AOKP ROM, and I've tried to decompile the framework-res.apk and browse and search through the files, but I can't seem to find these icons, nor the code that triggers the switch between one or the other.
Would anyone be able to point us in the right direction to try and find the appropriate piece of code?
I mean, I don't think the code can be that hard to edit once found. There has to be some place where they're associating each type of network coverage with its proper icon, and we know this from another thread:
Code:
UNKNOWN = 0; "G"
GPRS = 1; "G"
EDGE = 2; "E"
UMTS = 3; "3G"
IS95A = 4; "1x"
IS95B = 5; "1x"
1xRTT = 6; "1x"
EVDO_0 = 7; "3G"
EVDO_A = 8; "3G"
HSDPA = 9; "H" or "3G"
HSUPA = 10; "H" or "3G"
HSPA = 11; "H" or "3G"
And now this:
Code:
HSPAP = 15
Which is what they use for HSPA+.
So it's probably just a matter of adding a 15 somewhere, and telling it to pick our newly created icon that I could create in one minute (adding a + besides the H, both in the white and blue versions).
Can anybody give us a hand here?

You could look at this thread.

Have you tried Romtool box pro? It helped me get LTE icon for a TW rom. The theme i was using didnt have LTE so Romtoolbox did the trick. Never tried on AOSP

Was able to replace the 4g to 4g Lte but it gets annoying when I lose Lte and it shows h+ lol.. Wish it was a option for h and h+ to change and I'd be set

I think you can do what you want yourself. Link above is a basic "How To" guide on changing icons in a system apk using Windows "Open Archive" functionality. What this means is you can use this method to edit/swap-out existing image files (png) without having to decompile/recompile the apk. If you need/want to start changing xml files however, you will need to decompile/recompile the apk. But for images, you can create/edit (using a Paint program or similar) existing pngs to your liking... or swap them out for other png files... the trick is to make sure the image dimensions are the same and the file name is EXACTLY the same as the one it is replacing (why? because the xmls are calling those images by file name... so png file names must remain the same as the replaced png).
I think the files you want to replace are:
"H" data icon is "stat_sys_data_connected_h.png" and
"H+" data icon is "stat_sys_data_connected_h_plus.png"
I'm not sure about AOSP roms... but on TW roms, these files are found in SystemUI.apk in the /res/drawable-xhdpi folder. Just read through the guide link above and I think you'll be able to change what you want. Just find a desired replacement png (4G, etc), copy, and rename to the ones above... then follow the guide. Remember: always do a backup first (/system /data etc) in case things go south. You can also make a copy of your current SystemUI.apk (before you change anything) and put it in a safe place (computer, external SD, etc) just in case. Hope this helps.
