[Q] Transparent Statusbar/Dropdown Menu Gingerbread

Hello People!
I was wondering if someone knows if there is someone who can make a semi-transparent statusbar and dropdown menu? Or is there a ''how to'', to make it my own?
Hope this thread is on the right place.

Transparent status bar when on home screen on launcher pro is something I'm dying for since a very very long time...

you can make the background of the statusbar. The file ist in the framework-res.apk. Named "status_bar_background.9.png"
I uploaded an example for you

Ok thank you!
Had how can i implement and apply this adjustment?
Thank you!

Doesn't work for gingerbread.
Have a look at SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml

scheichuwe is right. Change the status_bar_tracking.xml to point the background to a drawable.. Something like :-
<View android:background="@drawable/shade_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Then make your drawable transparent. I've attached the one I use but you can always make your own if you want.
Hope this helps..
EDIT: The attachment should be called shade_bg.png. It seems to have been renamed when I attached it????

Do i need to past those lines in that XML file? how can i apply the changes i made?
Thanks!

Is this project finished?
Is it possible someone send modified xml file for transparent status bar in gingerbread ( 2.3.4)?

I would like that too..
I tried to make it my self but with no success.
Every time I changed something, the statusbar was gone. (like the whole status bar)

any progress on this?

same question.. somebody know?

[HOW-TO] Add Another Thread in Settings | About Device

No as such device or specific fw requirements for this guide/How-to to work.
Ok, so this would be my first ever tutorial on XDA so bear with me. I would try to explain as much as possible.
This How-to focuses on adding another info section in settings.apk. This guide is intended to be used by ROM Devs and Themers. I did a thorough research if their is any guide similar to this in this forum section but couldnt find any so here it goes.
Prequistes:
Be able to Decompile/Compile apks
Notepad++
Patience
Firstly you have to decompile SecSettings.apk (If you are using JB fw) or Settings.apk (If you are using ICS fw) it doesn't matter which fw you are using the rest of the guide will be the same.
After you have decompiled the SecSettings.apk or Settings.apk, go into the folder you decompiled to then res/values/strings. Open strings with any code editor such as Notepad++ after that add these two lines before the end line:
<string name="mod_version">XenonMOD version</string>
<string name="mod_version_info">Xenon-v2.00.00</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE: You can change XenonMOD version to anything you like and also Xenon-v2.00.00. I am using these as a example.
Next go to res/xml/device_info_settings.xml and add these lines before the ending line:
<Preference android:key="mod_version" style="?androidreferenceInformationStyle" android:title="@string/mod_version android:summary="@string/mod_version_info" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now recompile everything. If you have done everything as stated you should end up with a perfectly good SecSettings.apk or Settings.apk that has a another info/thread added to it. Congratulations!
NOTE: You can use this guide to add whatever info you want to the Settings section.
Follow me on twitter @TaimurAkmal. I would be able to solve any problem that you may have quicker, if you reach me with a tweet.

Leave a Thanks and it would make my day.

ahh sorry i forgot to
now done

Nice, unfortunately this didn't work on my Nexus, when I copy paste then it's not normal if I follow the other lines in that file I put the texts the correct sequence then I can successfully compile settings.apk and when I replace settings.apk it is not shown and not working, I have also tried by signing apk via Dsixda's android kitchen but still the same issue, btw: I use latest Android version on my Nexus and I don't think that is the issue...
Maybe something to do with SettingsProvider.apk or does smali files need editing?
Thanks

Code:

i tried alliance mod looks great but the toggles are not my style and you have to use on of the toggles so that your preferences would reflect. also it interferes with the multiwindow of the biftor rom that i'm using.
i also tried the alliancerom but same problem with toggles. the settings look also changed. i'm aiming for a more stock like look.
but thanks for the recommendation, at first i really liked the customization but it just didn't suit my taste.

Use Notepad++ (google and download it, it's free) if you have windows on your PC.

recompiling
hi dr30ma
i'm really not sure if i've done everything correctly.
in decompiling i keep on getting an error occured
but i checked projects folder, the systemui directory is there
so i looked for the tw_status_bar.xml file and made the changes u listed by just using notepad. i'm not really sure if this is correct but i tried it anyway.
now when i go back to script in apktool, i press 11 to recompile apk. but there is again an error.
i tried to look for the keep directory but it does not appear. so i think i wasn't successful.
any help would be appreciated. tia!

[Guide] Add OGBatteryMod to your ROM

I found this guide here and this is what I did differently from it to make this work for us. You can use the linked file to click an app to change the icon or you can add it into settings in your rom. For those that don't know what this does this probably isn't the thread for you. Just wait until you see it popping up in the roms you use. This should work universally for ND8 builds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730108
Now instead of following all of his steps and not finding what you're searching for I will simplify this some to make it quicker. You will want to search for this and replace it throughout the smali file in your decompiled systemui.apk (\SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\ph one\PhoneStatusBar.smali)
Find all instances of
Code:
Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/BatteryController;
and replace with
Code:
Lcom/ghareeb/BatteryMod/BatteryController;
Then open (\SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml) and find [This may already be changed if you used tdunham's 1% battery mod]
Code:
<com.android.systemui.BatteryMeterView android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="12.0dip" android:layout_height="18.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="0.33000004dip" android:layout_marginStart="5.0dip" />
and replace it with
Code:
<ImageView android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/battery" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="0.0dip" android:layout_marginStart="2.0dip" />
Now most importantly you need to add these smali files to your systemui so they're in (systemui/smali/com/ghareeb/BatteryMod)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2706746&stc=1&d=1398368939
Then add the OGBatterymod.apk of your choice to system/app. I didn't provide one in this guide sorry but maybe I will upload one eventually. You can easily look for one to add, all the old ones should work.
To add it to secsettings under display
Decompile secsettings.apk and open (\SecSettings\res\xml\display_settings.xml)
Find
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/notification_panel_title" android:key="notification_panel_edit" android:fragment="com.android.settings.NotificationPanelMenu" />
Add this under that line
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/battery_mod" android:summary="@string/battery_mod_desc">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.ghareeb.battery" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.ghareeb.battery.Settings" />
</PreferenceScreen>
Now open (\SecSettings\res\values\string.xml) and add this
Code:
<string name="battery_mod">OGBattery Mod</string>
<string name="battery_mod_desc">Change battery icon and charging animation.</string>
For those who don't want to add this to settings for some reason you can find one with the icon so you can just open the app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758088
Thanks to @OsamaGhareeb and @meawww also @axel06 for his that I linked with the icon instead of having to have it in settings if anyone would like to do it this way.

Dude you are awesome! I can't wait to get on this. Have to wait till the weekend though.

BTW this works great! Thanks again.

Great guide man. I've been trying to get this mod going using some of the other guides out there, but no luck. Glad I found this. A couple of questions; I don't see a \ph one\ folder in my statusbar smali. Is that typo? Should it be: \SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\PhoneStatusBar.smali. If so, I followed all steps but I get the following error when trying to recompile. Is it a syntax error?
Edit: Sorry about the path question. Dummy me. As for the recompile error, I think it has something to do with one of the smali files in the Ghareeb zip?

I can't decompile it with apktool, so I can't help you.

Inorder to decrypt the file you need decompile the apk.( There are some great tool for easy decopilation of apk).
I've already modified these clock for g2 running g3 rom which has a rectangular case.
Moreover to remove the date which appears behind your second's hand you need to edit the smali file which you'll get by decompiling the apk.
Hence you need to learn how to decompile and edit smali file.

I too couldn't decompile the apk from 5.0 even though it has been updated to decompile 5.0 apps.

Mmm well im running kitkat atm. So i night try that then. Ive got rid of date i just want to customise it more to behonest lol. I like digital but i want spinny clock. Is apktool the best to use??

well ive decompiled and im begining the smali edit lol ... this should be intresting

Green:- Hour
White:- Minute
Orange:- Second (All working good. Couldn't remove the date bg.)
I attached a zip file which will add digital clock to you analog clock (3rd clock), just flash using twrp.
It didn't add the files to change the clock face so that you can add your own style. Also it won't remove the date.
Flash at your risk. Also DO make a backup of LGAlarmClock.apk if you want to remove the mod.
Tested on cloudyG3 2.1 for G2 (G3A based rom).
Only for kitkat.

Is it possible to make it work on aosp based ROMs??
Thx

IGnore allll of that crap im just retarded i flashed it and its worked
soorta >_> lol, it doubles the BG Lol
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lsdqtugt1zh1nvt/Screenshot_2014-12-22-21-10-47.png?dl=0

okay i cant edit the XML at all its encrypted and ive tried loads to try edit it, and if you want to remove the date thing then you have to start coding from the WHITE analog Clock, but i cant edit the xml otherwise i might be able to stop the double bg, its only because "I imagine" the digital code is looking for a bg and because its been planted on top of the analog its using the same variable to call the same bg, there for reproducing it lol, but i cant do anything with the xml file i cant edit anything i cant view it at all lol, its encrypted.
and if i wanted to i cant seem to recompile the apk i edit wont do it so im still stuck at this lol

It didn't add the files to change the clock face so that you can add your own style. Also it won't remove the date.
Flash at your risk. Also DO make a backup of LGAlarmClock.apk if you want to remove the mod.
Tested on cloudyG3 2.1 for G2 (G3A based rom).
Only for kitkat.

Okay! I think!! (This is me just assuming) Your xml works not by plonking all the digital code into the analoug code but your calling the digital code from the digial clock xml? So is it possible then to edit the digital.xml to remove it looking for a bg. And flash it? The same way you made itflash the clock? Sorry so many replies but i keep thinking of different things lol

Yes you are right!!
It is possible to edit the digital clack too. If you want to change the background of digital clock then edit the b2_quickcircle_digital_bg.png in raw-xxxhdpi folder.
Here's what i've edited in the analog_quick_circle_black.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:background="@android:color/black" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

</RelativeLayout>

May be i've edited this a bit from the last time.
But you can get the idea from it.
And if you want to create the zip file for it then put this xml file in your decompiled folder of lgalarmclock.apk/res/layout and compile it. Then open the compiled apk with winrar and extract this file(analog_quick_circle_black.xml) from there and place the file in zip(vrtheme/system/priv-app/lagalarm.apk/res/layout). Compress and flash it.
Also i've created a new for g2's window case:- View attachment 3075006
