Empowering stock rom - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello there,
I have been using stock rom for three days with certain mods and so far I like it a lot.
Just wanted to let you know about the possible mods you can find to empower the stock rom :
1. Advanced power menu
2. Battery percentage
3. Centre clock
4. T9dialer
5. Sms with quick reply from CM or other Roms works fine
6. Customised tiles with quick pulling (kevdliu mod)
You won't find mods for:
Volume wake (but you can buy pgm app for that)
Screenlock targets
Navigation bar targets (just Google search)
So far I am enjoying stock rom. Maybe I will keep using it.
However this post is a sign of personal gratitude to all users here that share their knowledge and make the stock rom a pleasant software for daily use. At least for me.
Cheers

This thread would be more useful with posted links to those mods attached.

Here we go:

It is certain that you will enjoy stock rom through these mods.

T9 dialer doesn't seem to work on odexed jdq39.

All the mods are for deodexed rom and for JDQ39.

There is luckily also a variant of extended power menu for odexed stock .

I'm not 100% sure since I havent done this on the Galaxy Nexus. But there is a file in /system/usr/keylayout/ that handles the hardware button actions. On my Verizon Nexus using CM10.1, the file is called "tuna-gpio-keypad.kl". In that file there will be three lines for the three buttons. VOLUME_DOWN, VOLUME_UP, and POWER. I'm not sure what the stock file has in it but if there is no "WAKE" after the volume buttons, putting it there should allow the volume wake option. Power should have WAKE after it already. This is all just in theory though. I used to mess with my hardware button controls with my old device. Havent done anything with the Nexus.

Well the wake word is there for both volume up, down and power. I think it is done on framework file.

These are all great mods I've used on any stock ROM I tried. Two mods kept me going to custom ROMs, volume keys to skip music tracks while screen off and no theme engine support. If I could get those two into the mix, I might consider a stock ROM again lol.

I only miss t9 dialer for odexed stock. Don't really like these third party apps from gplay. I tried to fix it by myself...never successful though.

Maybe you could deodex, add T9 dialer, then use the Odex Me app. Not sure it would work. It may break things.

stock rom is not fun! what's about rom cook?

Here's an odexed T9 dialer I just made. I'm not on stock so I couldn't test. Recommend to make a backup of your contacts.apk and contacts.odex just in case of issues. Nandroid recommended as well. Please report if it works or has any issues.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

If anyone on stock tries this, if you could verify contacts.apk and contacts.odex were placed in /system/app and permissions were set correctly, then it should be working unless something went wrong with the odexing, but I received no errors and removed the .dex file from the .apk. Any feedback is appreciated. This can be flashed via CWM/TWRP or if you are rooted, you can extract the contacts.apk and contacts.odex and copy them to /system/app and set permissions rw-r--r--. Remember to backup your existing files first or rename them by adding .bak to the filename. After copying the files, a reboot is needed.

Mod request. Softkeys+1% battery

Can someone please zip a mod together that will modify softkey color change together with a 1% battery mod? I'm running stock, deodexed. Obviously rooted. I flashed the stock ics blue softkey zip. Then found a 1% battery mod. One cancelled out the other. I'd like em both. Is this possible to toss together? I have no idea how to...so here I am. Asking.

Take the images of the softkeys, they re 8 or 10 files in res/xhdpi folder in SystemUI.apk and drop them in the SystemUI.apk in the flashable zip of the 1% battery mod. Then flash again the battery mod. Voila!

Wow. Cool. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

I believe if you swap out the files in the apk and try to flash it will fail due to checksum mismatch

it won't have a problem, I've done this many times
the flashable zip won't be signed but he can turn signature verification off in cwm recovery.
I did what nikosrs4 suggested with replacing the png images and rebuilding the apk and then zip, both signed.
Stupidly realized that I am on 4.0.3 so I can't test this now anyway..
didn't notice the option in cwm to not check signatures before, that's handy
pm me if you want to test it, I don't want to post it here and hose someone's phone because I made a stupid mistake that I can't test.

Right now I'm using ICL53F Deodexed Rooted Busyboxed + Softkeys + APM/AB by bigxie with the softkeys_mod_ICL53F mod.
But I've flashed a couple of other roms and you can't have both the battery 1% mod and the menu dots on both sides. Either one or the other regardless of the roms. Menu dots on the both sides was ridiculously useful.

[Q] Custom 4-button Nav Bar Mod for existing ROM?

Where can I find custom navigation bar mods? What I want is an ALWAYS on nav bar, as if hardware buttons were present at the bottom of my screen. I want 4 nav icon buttons in this order form left to right: Menu, Back, Home, Search
Is this possible? So tired of having to hunt/hope for the tiny 3-vertical dot menu option squeezed over where it is not convenient to get to. I do NOT need the silly open-app switcher button that is on the right now. I did some searching but couldn't find a mod that could be allied to my current custom JB rom, only other ROMs that I'd have to flash the whole thing to get.
Thanks!
-edit-
Found this thread, but none of those links provide a solution for this
Yes its possible, this mod is everywhere.

After you posted this I sepnt 30 more minutes on Google and 2 hours in the Nexus Themes/Apps forums, but STILL have yet to find this. Everyone wants you to modify your SystemUI.apk or just overwrite an image file. For crying out loud..I just want a flashable zip to do in CWM Recovery that has the four options I mentioned above. I cannot believe nobody else has wanted this, it's the biggest (and only) downfall of the Nexus.

Oh that's all...lol. Come on. Most people do not use ADB or decompile on here. We use the GNex Toolkit by mrskip (which in turn handles ADB tasks auto-magically) or we do what little we can in a root explorer, but other than that it's beyond 90% of ppl on here (despite the name of the forum). Now, I know that there are flashable zips, I just cannot find one with the 4 buttons I like. Everything has the silly 'recent apps' button on the right that I never use. I need that to be a search button like every other phone.

Yes but I don't think aokp JB fully merge in apk those features yet, so I think you have to go back to the fully loaded milestone 6.

[MOD][TW][4.1.2] AOSP Lockscreen Toggle and TouchWiz Lockscreen Mods

Got The AOSP Locksreen to work on stock deodexed Touchwiz Rom.
I'm using NOTEorious Prime RC1.5 JB 4.1.2 AOSP/TW Mash-up N7105
Should work on other Roms as well
This is has Ink Mod Red/Black Built in to the Settings so no need to flash both.
Just Flash the Attached Zips [SECSettings AOSP Lockscreen Addon] and [AOSP Lockscreen] You may need to wipe Cache/Dalvik
As Always BACKUP before you flash anything.
Clock is White Right Now and I am Working on color mods for it.
Have a mod for blue Lockscreen Text
Manual Way:
It is getting hard for me to keep up with all the mod changes and everything going on in my life so I will post the changed files for this mod so that dev's can add them to any ROM.
AOSP Lock.rar has 4 files in side, just replace the files in your ROM with these.
android.policy.jar
\com\android\internal\policy\impl and open LockPatternKeyguardView.smali
SecSettings.apk
/smali/com/android/settings/ folder and open LockscreenSettings.smali
res/xml folder and open lockscreen_settings.xm
The 4th file is only needed if you have problems recompiling it has the changes need for wfd_picker_dialog.xml. It goes in res/layout.
TouchWiz LockScreen Mods
I will place My Touchwiz Lock-screen Mods in this post to keep the 2 separate. These do not interfere with the toggle mod so both can be flashed.
Didnt work for me on CleanRom

That's what it looks like on mine with the all blue text. Will probably make an all black for that wallpaper.
Lockscreen icons are in framework-res. So you can change them to anything you want Slide up for Google Now [Hard to see on White Wallpaper]
I am working on lockscreen mods for this. A lot of the structure is in the original system so it makes it a little easier but I still have to find the hidden ones.
Lockscreen Targets can be modified but not easily. Would have to redirect the targets manually.
It seems this doesn't work Saurom install unfortunately ):
Flashed SECSettings AOSP Lockscreen Addon.zip with AOSP Lockscreen.zip in TWRP. I tried it with and without wiping the cache. All I got were bootloops.
Luckily I had a backup so this was no real problem for me.
Still looking forward to this mod when its working!

That mod is a hybrid so I'm guessing the android.policy.jar is different. Send that to me and the SecSettings.apk and I can see if I can get it working on there.

Possibly. The framework for the aosp lockscreen is already built in. All I had to do was reference it. Samsung just added there stuff on top. If you send me your android.policy.jar and secsettings.apk . I can look at it and try the method I used for the note 2 if you don't mind testing.

AOSP Compatible S4 Touchwiz Launcher w/S4 Weather!!! Updated 4/17

4/17 - I've now updated it to a flashable zip, you get the S4 launcher and S4 weather widget
I love AOSP roms for the customizability and I also really like the touchwiz launcher so after many, many trials and errors and having to learn how to use apktool to decompile and build apk's i've modded the touchwiz launcher to work for AOSP roms. I know this isn't anything new since it's been done before, what makes this different is the homescreen is a 4x5 layout and the app drawer is 4x6 with a fully themed S4 Accuweather widget. I know a lot of you use custom launchers and this is not your cup of tea, this is for those who like the look of a stock launcher with a custom aosp rom.
The S4 weather widget really gave me a hard time, and because I was just learning it took me a very long time to get it to work but i've finally figured it out and it should work without any problems. Please note that in order to avoid a widget display problem I had to make the widget thumbnail in the app drawer transparent. It shows up just fine once you apply it.
I'll welcome any feedback and all I ask for is a thanks if you like it.
This should be compatible on any AOSP, CM10.1 based roms. I am personally using LiquidSmooth stable version.
Please make a backup and use at your own risk
Installation instructions:
Download Link
It's now flashable!
Copy to SD card
Flash in recovery
Reboot and enjoy!
Credit:
I'd like to give credit to dr30ma for the original s4 weather widget for the I9300 from which I ported over to work with our device. Also, thanks to Andybones for the universal flasher tool I used.

S4 SecLauncher finished
Wasn't too bad porting the s4 launcher to work. I'm using a TW rom at this very moment so i'm unable to test it on an AOSP rom so if I have any volunteers i'll post the link to the launcher. If you've already installed the launcher from this post then you will just replace the SecLauncher2.apk in /system/app with this one. Rename your original something like SecLauncher.bak just in case you wanna go back to it you could just rename it back to original. This one also has a 4x5 homepage and a 4x6 menu layout.

Don't forget to remove the "s4" from s4SecLauncher2.apk after you copy it over or else it won't work.
Apologies if this is a dumb question but will this give me the Touchwiz dialer or gesture control, like swiping with the hand to screenshot? I'm also using Liquidsmooth and those are the only things I really miss.

No, it just gives you the launcher and weather widget. Although I'm also on liquid smooth and I installed it like it says in the op, and whenever I try to open touchwiz it just forces close on me. Fixed permissions, cleared caches, still the same result.

Are you using the original launcher or the new s4 launcher I just put up?

Hello again ,
I started getting force closes whenever I used the aosp messaging app or the aosp phone app..this was the case with the initial s3 launcher.
As for the s4 launcher, It wouldn't lemme get to the home screen. Touch wiz kept force closing as soon as I rebooted once I finished pushing the file.
I am on aosp deviant xone BTW .
Thanks

I know what's happening...I forgot to include the badgeprovider.apk which notifies you when you get a text and you'll keep getting force closes without it. I'll upload it here in a second. Just push it to /system/app and fix permissions, and reboot and you'll be good to go. I'll fix the original package and upload it seperately for you so you don't have to download the whole thing again.
Download BadgeProvider.apk
Almost forgot to mention, this will just fix the s3 launcher force closing not the s4 launcher. Still need time to figure it out the s4 launcher on AOSP, works fine in Touchwiz.

Glad to see you here. I look forward to some Dark Horse and inverted apps.
Purple Green for me...nice to see you here, I will be a frequent visitor.:highfive:
Say if I wanted to theme my stock rooted touchwiz. If I found a theme for the s4 touchwiz, I obviously can't flash it! But if I used a root explorer can I drag and drop replacing the files and reboot? Or would it not work cause or dpi is set at 480p? I just miss themeing! I wish I could make the PCB circuit board theme work on our Note 3!

Sorry to say, no. Here is why sir.
1. S4 is still on android 4.2 based, while Note III is android 4.3 so things will be different.
2. The layout files will be different, which is a big piece.
Dpi wont come into play, becuase they both use xxHdpi images.. so the image part should for most part be fine to drag into Launcher3.apk. Not a guareentee all will be fine.. but should.
My suggestion..
1. If you have Root, have Nova or Apex loaded and make sure works.
2. With one of the above running, you can rename your launcher3.apk
3. I would only drag images from s4 launcher into Note III launcher.
4. Replace luancher apk on Note III change permission, reboot.
5. change back to TW Launcher..
With us just getting Root. You gotta give us a bit to get things going..

You take a huge chance of messing up phone and getting fc's using apk from other carriers N3 stuff. Especially Framework/SystemUI is almost always different by each carrier. They add stuff into those files..

Just go to the Dev section and you can download the whole Deodex ROM, it's already been done for you.

You need to have:
Android SDK
A graphic program like Gimp, Paint.Net, Photoshop
Apktool Manager
Java 6 and/or 7
That would be a start. Then you need to learn how to decompile Android Apk's

This thread is not the right area to request themign to be done, Use the Theme and Apps area fro that please.
The SecLauncher4.apk is the correct apk to decompile to get to labels for the launcher. I am not sure where those are at, haven't themed the Seclauncher since two versions ago..
I might suggest Nova whch will allow you to do things as well.
