Note that this is really a "Hack" since it forces Android to stop a services that is flagged as "important".

I would like to try this but I don't wanna be the guinea pig.
There's nothing super risky in changing the services.jar.
Make a backup of yours and you can push it back with ADB if you got a bootloop.
Nice, and thanks.
Wish there was a way to incorporate this into my app without needing the external jar file to be replaced (like it is in HC).
I have an app on Market that is a Kiosk browser app, but currently only for Honeycomb. It'd be sweet if it could work for ICS as well

I don't think there is a way to do it without a "special" version of the jar (policy or services)
In HoneyComb you could hide the bar, but with ICS Google remove that option, now the bar is "enforced" due the soft buttons and notification stuff.
new version online. see first post!
thx dabidu
Maybe this could go to the development section.
I add the .diff file with all the required changes on the source code to get the toggle the bar on and off, so anyone building a new rom from souce could implement this "feature"

I try this on eos 68. Its working with a big BUT.
No way to trigger the status bar back in application. Rotate the screen didnt work either.
Most of apps on market do not have exit button. So i can only use restart using log press power button.
I hope you could add the toggle setting on log press power button. That will do the jobs.
Thread Moved.

I understand about how to use. But if you could change the setting apk to include in display setting menu. Why not add it to the long press power button menu where the shutdown, reboot recovery and soo on.
It would become easy to use without need extra swipe application.
Just advice. No need to angry.
Nb: when using mxvideoplayer playing movies. Cannot toggle the status bar. But dice player just fine.
Amazing mod, you dont even need swipe pad. Thanks man.
You can just change back and forth from settings, sometimes after you select the bar again, it wont show, make a rotation and it will show again.

That would be a feature for a custom rom. Just request the dev of your favorite custom rom to included this mod

did you read the first post on how to use this mod?
Hi, all!
It's my first mod and first thread on XDA, so forgive my mistakes.
I really don't like the Xperia S capacitive buttons. After ask a question about the matter on XDA, I decided to try to do it myself. And after a few hours eating some bits, I could finish my work:
Native ICS on-screen buttons on Xperia S!!!
(See screenshots attached)
Short story:
I started reading this post, that led me to this other post that led me to try to use a tool called apktool. Sadly, apktool seems a little buggy and I decided to modify the framework-res.apk without decompile and recompile it. How? Binary diff. I can't say it was easy, but after a few hours I could modify the apk. In the Long story, on the second post, I'll tell how.
Things you need:
1. Root your device (see this post to learn how to unlock and root)
2. adb installed (or a working recovery)
Things I don't need to say (but I will):
YOU are responsible for any damage this mod could cause in your phone. I did exactly what I described below and it worked for me, but only God can make sure it will work for you. I don't think it's a big deal since you can flash you ROM again in case of any problem.
How to backup:
If you really want to backup your original framework-res.apk, run it before installing:
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk.bkp
And save the file framework-res.apk.bkp.
It's not very important because you can get this file from the ROM package or from here (link from optik19918).
How to install:
Install this mod is as simple as replace the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk by the modified framework-res.apk. Here follow some options to accomplish that:
Option 1 (via adb):
1. Choose a folder on your computer
2. Download framework-res.apk.
For firmware 6.1.A.0.452:
mediafire
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.1.58:
my home (slow link)
For firmware 6.1.A.2.45:
my home (slow link)
3. Run the following steps (I did on Ubuntu Linux, but they are easily translatable to Windows):
Code:
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,rw /system
[email protected]:/ # mkdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb push framework-res.apk /system/tmp/framework-res.apk
4765 KB/s (15874684 bytes in 3.253s)
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ $ mv /system/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /system/framework/framework-res.apk
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell 15874684 2012-06-28 03:58 framework-res.apk
[email protected]:/ # rmdir /system/tmp
[email protected]:/ # mount -o remount,ro /system
[email protected]:/ # ^D
[email protected]:/ $ ^D
[email protected]:~/Android/LT26i$ adb reboot
4. Wait your phone to restart
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 2 (via recovery):
1. Download the on-screen-buttons.zip
2. Reboot on recovery
3. Apply this zip
4. Restart the phone
5. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below (and also Soheil_rf for the zip version)
6. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
Option 3 (via file manager):
1. Download the same file of option 1, step 2 (above)
2. Use your favorite file manager to copy the downloaded file to /system/framework/framework-res.apk
3. Restart the phone
4. Thanks me by clicking 'Thanks' button below
5. Say some bad words to the physical buttons!!!
How to uninstall:
Just repeat Option 1 or 3 above, but using the framework-res.apk.bkp you backed up or this one (link from optik19918).
----------------------
Some points:
1. The file is really smaller than the original, and it must be caused by the linux archive app when I copied the patched 'resources.arsc' to the original apk. It worked for me up to now, but I will try to figure out why it happened.
2. I will explain how I patched the 'resources.arsc' and changed the boolean value in the first reply of the thread. It was a pain in the ass, but worth sharing (edit: explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823223).
Long story
Reserved to tell the long story about the patch, If I have time.
EDIT:
And finally had some time! But it was to big for a single answer, I created a new thread:

Wow this app is amazing, Awesome work guys....
I now only have to press once to go back or home, BUT there is one little problem. The last botton on the right is not assigned to open the settings menu like the original one. Is this fixable?

i found some bug in camera app, the camera screen button it not in the side of the screen, please fix.
also make the black bar smaller 25%, and the placement of back icon should be more left so it on a line with the dot and transparent bar so does the task manager too, should be more right.
and also please make an option to disable the original touch button
thanks for your effort

yes use this zip http://www.mediafire.com/?62d7d4c2j2uy19m
or if you made a backup of the original file use the option 1 with the stock file
It's not so useful but it's cool. And can complete your ICS/Jelly Bean theme.
What You Need:
Rooted Phone
Root Explorer
Instructions:
1. Open Root Explorer.
2. Go to system/ and long press on build.prop (is better backup this file)
3. Select Open With and then select Text Editor.
4. Find "ro.build.version.release=(your actual android version)" and change how you want. (will look something like this: ro.build.version.release=4.1.1)
5. And if You want change this too: "ro.build.id=GINGERBREAD"
6. Press menu and then Save and Exit.
7. Reboot your Phone.
Ps: You can edit other informations too, but do this at your own risk.
If you liked, press thanks. (it cost nothing!!)

This Mod is for all of those among us, who want to have the Trebuchet App drawer transparent on and with CM10.1 Roms
All credits and thanks go to:
- wesamothman who gave me his permission to post and whose ToDo or Guide makes it possible for me to port/transfer it for our device and to CM10.1!
(if you want to klick thanks to him or to see, how this was made, please visit his thread too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061028&highlight=transparent+drawer)
New and updated version v4 - for Android 4.4/CM10.2 - Trebuchet.apk with more settings pressing left settings key
Guide/HowTo additional changes in Post 2
Installation:
Download the Transparent_Trebuchet_CM10.xx.zip of your choice and flash it via CWM and reboot. If you want to have your original Launcher back, just restore the backup created from universal flasher in folder universalflasher.
The issues mentioned in some posts can be reduced with following workaround:
- go to System settings/developer options deactivate: window animation scale, Transition animation scale + Animator duration scale.
- go to System settings/home screen/homescreen/Transition effect and change it to standard or tablet.
This will minimize the mentioned delay with disappearing app icons, after changing to app drawer view and/or back to homescreen. And in my opinion or feeling, the launcher is much faster.
I have tested it on CM10.2 Nightly (cm-10.2-20130905 plus many others-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd).
On other Roms it should work too, but i haven't tried yet. But feel free to test it and report back.
If there are other requests, for example different kind of transparency or for other Devices, questions, bugs or what ever, please feel free to post it here or send me a pm. I answer and update all asap.

Recompile apk, add it in flashable zip and have fun ! :good:
If you want to take out the texts below the app icons in app drawer, on homescreen and below created folders:
change line <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/workspace_icon_text_size</item> to <item name="android:textSize">0.0dip</item> in <style name="WorkspaceIcon">
If you only want to take out the texts below the icons in app drawer:
include line <item name="android:textSize">0.0dip</item> in <style name="WorkspaceIcon.Portrait.AppsCustomize" parent="@style/WorkspaceIcon.Portrait">
can you make the status bar transparent ? ( not when it's open )
I already tried it and will try it further, but for the moment found no solution for it. Hope I will get it to work soon or even anytimes .

If they have and work with Trebuchet.apk, it could be. But I don't think this version not..guess that it has to be compiled with the individual framework. But should be no problem to do that.

Does Slim work with trebuchet or with Launcher2? The rom itself comes along with Hololauncher....I am already trying to compile it for slim, but even get erros during decomiling the framework-res ...so I really do not know whether its working then and cannot test it for you at the moment...but you can give it a try if you want to.

So no problems with this Mod, just flash and enjoy!
It works, but when you open a app, then exit a app, it reverts back to a black background. The wallpaper/transparency returns when I put the phone to sleep then reawaken it. Any ideas what is going wrong?
I also noticed that issue, but if I return to homescreen and tick appdrawer icon in dock it returns to transparency again. So for me no need to put phone to sleep and rewake again.
But anyways its not perfect so....do you know whether this has been since the beginning, or just came along with a new ROM/Nightly version installed?
On which ROM/Nightly and device are you?

v2 (zip no longer overwrites build.prop with an old cm10.1 version but, instead, simply adds the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" line to the existing build.prop found in /system. UI messages have also been updated to show what is occurring with greater detail.
v1.1 (Zip automatically sets proper permissions on file 99keyoff)
v1 (Thank wewooo for the original zip here)
Bugs in 2.1: Pressing hardware keys when in a fullscreen video has the same effect as tapping: the nav bar and status bar slide out.

Re: [HOWTO] Enabling Nav Bar/Disabling HW Keys
This will turn off the lights but won't disable them. Lol
Edit#1 for being an idiot: I didn't realize you were on CM. My bad. Lol

PM me, I got a script that can Disable the lights. I'll put together a flashable zip later today that does all this later today.
Re: [HOWTO][CM10.1] Enabling Nav Bar/Disabling HW Keys
I did this a few days ago but couldn't stand the capacitive lights so I reverted.
Also this works for about any 4.0+ rom

I wasn't sure if the name of the file to edit was different depending on the ROM so I figured I wouldn't claim what I didn't know for sure. Thanks for confirming that!
Re: [HOWTO][CM10.1] Enabling Nav Bar/Disabling HW Keys
Anyone know how to disable to backlight on CM. I have been working in the build prop with no success.
Re: [HOWTO][CM10.1] Enabling Nav Bar/Disabling HW Keys
Does anyone know why the screen is taking up so much battery life now on CM 10.1 or just any jb roms?

I'm using Keyboard Backlight from the play store to disable backlight. It doesn't stick on reboot, but it works otherwise.
Here is the zip - https://www.dropbox.com/s/0hl9iic57j81bia/LS970%20Navigation%20bar.zip
Just flash in twrp, if your lights still remain. Go to /system/etc/init.d/99keyoff add the following permissions RWX,RWX,R--
Just updated the zip so that all files have the necessary permissions.

ZIP Method:
v1.1 (Zip automatically sets proper permissions on file 99keyoff)
v1 (Thank wewooo for the zip, here):
Instructions:
Manual Instructions (only for nav bar and hw keys, doesn't disable key lights):
Reminder: Back up both files before editing them.
I, personally, have only tested this on the nightly builds of CM10.1.
1) Enabling the Nav Bar
Open build.prop (located at /system/build.prop) and add this to the end:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
2) Disabling H/W Keys
Open keypad_8064.kl (located at /system/usr/keylayout) and change the lines:
Code:
key 158 BACKVIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
key 139 MENUVIRTUAL
To:
Code:
# key 158 BACKVIRTUAL
# key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
# key 139 MENUVIRTUAL
3) Reboot to see changes!
I fixed permissions and cleared caches as well but I don't know if it's required.

How about a script that reverts the changes.

I might do it when I have some spare time. In the meantime just delete 99keyoff from /system/etc/init.d and do the opposite of the manual directions.

will weewoo's zip work on AOKP roms?

Reflashing your rom (without wiping anything) should revert the changes just fine, I think.

I think not, because the prop.build is different in roms. Just do this, go to prop.build and add the following line to it "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (Without the ""). Then open the flashable zip and remove the prop.build then flash the modified zip.

You're right.
Here's version 2 which adds the line to the build prop instead of just overwriting it with an old cm10.1 build.prop.
This has the added benefit of showing the right rom version in settings > about, too.
Sickest its working thanks

If you're using the v2 ZIP then the permissions should be fixed upon install.
I've not tried supernexus so I'm not sure what the conflict is but something must be being done differently.
