[MOD][ROOT][ICS]Hide Status Bar (updated 11.02.)

How to hide the combined Status Bar on ICS (root required!)​
I think many ppl are searching for a solution to hide the status bar on ICS, since the Hacks from Honeycomb doesnt work on ICS.
Note that this is really a "Hack" since it forces Android to stop a services that is flagged as "important".
As usual, you are solely responsible if you brick your device!!! Install this Hack at your own risk!!!

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"

Its included in the zip file linked in the first post

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.

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

[APK][PORT] S Voice ported to all Samsung devices! [June 5][Initial release]

Hi there
As you know, S Voice from SGS III isn`t working on any other device because of checking device model. The bad solution is to mod your build.prop to make android think you are using SGS III, but it can cause incorrect work in some apps.
What I have Done
I have decompiled SVoice.apk, changed all checkings of device model to make app think it is SGS III, built and signed new apk.
So now all you have to do is:
1. Delete old S Voice
2. Revert your build.prop to stock, if you have modded it
3. Install new apk (as usual app) from Google Drive or Mediafire
Issues:
Few actions aren`t working because of the incompatibility with some SGS III features.
Shortly, some apps or actions are not opening because S Voice can`t find Samsung`s Clock/Calendar/etc. It can be fixed only if these apps are ported to our devices.
Tested on my AOKP Galaxy S I with SGS III Addon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669190)
Please, test it on other devices and write me, if app doesn`t work

will all features be fixed in the future or is this a final app for us? anyway thanks for not messing the build.prop

will it install to internal SD?

Install as NORMAL apk, just launch it EDIT: it installs to internal SD
I can`t promise to fix everything, but i`ll try to fix some features

please upload on mediafire

Thank you for that...
I'm running 5.5 dark night and I installed the modified s-voice apk file you provided.
The application runs fine, however, I can't get some functionalities to work. For example, talkback don't work. Also, saying things like Hello, or tell me a joke doesn't work; only straight-forward commands...
Moreover, any hopes on getting the application working with double-tabbing?

Good idea, added it to the OP.

I also believe that the voice searching feature is currently borked. But people are working on it as we speak

There are two seperate ways to do it, the first one involves manually editing the build.prop. You can find that method HERE

Everything works as advertised on stock, not sure about any other roms.

used the 2nd method. regular search is odd, because it will come up with a blank screen for your results and then if you touch it and scroll the results will show up. also kinetic scrolling doesn't work on it.
also it won't let me select a favorite sports team, for some reason.

Is everyone's temperature displaying correctly? I keep getting Celsius

[MOD][SlimBean 7.5] 45 Steps Volume mod for fine-tuning media volume

for now, SlimBean version 7.5 only
45 Steps Volume Mod
1. Download this framework.jar and paste into /system/framework/ using a file manager with root access (e.g. ES File explorer, root explorer, etc)
2. Make sure permissions are set to rw-r-r
3. Reboot
Enjoy!

Out of curiosity, do you have the source of what you changed, and what exactly was changed before the framework.jar was compiled?
I wouldn't recommend installing an unknown compiled replacement for the framework.jar without understanding what exactly was changed and how, especially as it may impact other functions of the rom depending on what exactly was changed. Also this mod might not work after 7.5 as there's going to be a major framework change in the next week(lies).

I'll create a new one when a new version of SlimBean releases if people want it.

I'm curious if the framework.jar differs from device to device (I'm not an android developer so it's not within the scope of my knowledge). Because personally I haven't had a sound volume problem with Mako/N4... now the Nexus 7 on the other hand, gotta crank that baby up +12 decibels in DSPManager just to sound loud enough.
It's of course one of the reasons I asked about source, because if it's something minor here or there and just re-compiled for a specific, that would be easier to deployed in my opinion.

Here's the tutorial I followed.

Know what would be really handy, if you know how to do it.
An Aroma installer (like I did for my sd-ext/dataswap enabler in my sig).
Basically package two versions of the framework.jar, modified and unmodified. Flashing the zip in recovery will ask if you want to apply the mod, or uninstall the mod, and replace the framework.jar with what you want (or alternatively two zips for apply and restore).

Youre right. I thought about it and concluded I'm not handy enough to create a flashable zip let alone an Aroma installer like the Beanstalk rom guy did in the Android Development forums. I'm thinking it that it may be possible to just do it all via flashable scripts for EVERY rom instead of just slimbean 7.5 but then again, I don't have any training with code. I'm now thinking my mod doesn't deserve a thread of its own lol (especially if people don't trust random files - and they rightfully shouldn't). But, nice looking out!

Technically mods are supposed to have a thread of their own, rather than just tagged in a rom thread.
That way anyone who has questions or issues can discuss them in the thread specific to that mod
Besides, a thread of it's own makes it seem a bit more um... legitimate.

S5 Lens Flare Lockscreen Effect is back with 11 options installed with Aroma

I just wrote this this morning and finished testing in my phone. All is working fantastic!
This mod is to bring back the Lens Flare Effect.
Here are just a few previews and the rest are viewed from the installer in the update coming soon.
AURORA
FIRESTORM
LIGHTNING
METEOR
STARGATE
SOLAR SYSTEM
BLOOD SPATTERED HANDPRINT
BLAZED
METALGEARS
INFERNO
I have included 11 different choices all installed via Aroma Installer from custom recovery of your choice (I used TWRP). This mod does require that your rom has "init.d" support as this does need a script called at every boot to work. AGAIN CALLS SCRIPT UPON EVERY REBOOT. The script depending on each phone should take longer than 30-45 seconds. Basically flash the mod reboot and the next time you turn on the phone the effect will be active.
DOWNLOAD FLARE_LOCKSCREEN_v1
Instructions for installation -
*Make a NANDROID ALWAYS AND OFTEN when modding your system!
*ROM that supports init.d script
*download and check md5 is good
*reboot to recovery and flash the zip file
*pick the effect you want (sorry I don't have the previews for the installer set up yet)
*reboot and let the script work it's magic and by time you turn your phone back on a surprise will be waving at you.
*hit the thanks button

Feedback?
Just looking for a little feedback as far as working or not? It's hard for me to tell what will work and won't work for everyone sometimes due the fact I am always testing a very heavily modded rom. I went back to Stock and started fresh with this so I'm thinking it should work for all its pretty much a script mod with only a less than 10 images. Only stip is your rom must support init.d, which most custom roms do these days. So let me know. This will also be in the Missing Link update which will include previews.

OP now has previews
Here are just a few so you get an idea of what this offers.

Dude you are tearing it up! Gonna backup and then I'll test. Will report shortly.

OK. Sorry for the delay. Had to make some adjustments but its working now. I have a note 3 running sacs moar rom. I had to update my sqlite3 in xbin and i was missing lib file libncurses.so. so may want to add that to your download script in aroma. Also had to change perms on the intd file keygaurdset from rwrr to rwxr-xr-x. Think the biggest issue for me was the sqlite3. Not sure if the initd perms are part of it. Ive read different opinions about setting those (0644 vs. 0755) Have only tested lightning effect and changed ripple effect to light effect in lockscreen settings. Hope that helps. Keep up the inctedible work. Really think you're onto something with the aroma themer. Size is the only limitation but for what it does its worth it. Great work!

Well i have an installer that does both sqlite3 and the lib file. So yours may be ok. I made a backup of yours and will test it now. Going thru the effects to see which are working. I'll report back directly.
---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------
Your sqlite3 is good. So far lightning, solar, and metalgear all work. Ill test them all but so far so good. Thanks for your hard work and im happy to test out anything you have. Ive been meaning to fix a few things on the aroma theme installer for us sprint guys (Forgot to mention its sprint note 3 earlier) just havent had time to do much. From what i understand the dialer themes are in teleservices so hopefully its a simple matter of changing the folder name. That would be sweet. Ill look into it unless you already have the fixes and just waiting to update. Ive only used the system mod and spinners switches and toggles and boot/shut animations but everything ive tried has worked. Signals too.

All options work great! Excellent work and thank you again for it.

Not working for MOAR, or how to?

Not show why it isn't working. The mod requires init.d script on boot. So you have to give I little bit, no longer than a minute I would say. You have to unlock the device and by next time it should be showing the effect you picked.
Can anyone confirm this working on Moar?

Works with MetalROM
Works great. Had to change "Unlock Effect" in lockscreen settings to "Light Effect" to get it to work (had it set to ripple effect.) Went through other options, definitely has to be set to light effect for the custom effect to show.
Thanks for this, the blood spatter works great with my deadpool theme!

Wow man..pretty awesome! On a sprint note 3 MOAR port as well and am using the bloody hand splatter for halloween..awesome job!!

Glad you got it figured out. I will update the OP with that info. So you guys have the option for light effect?
Don't seem to have those nice options over here in Tmo. I'm sure with rompit and TD working things you guys probably have all the options plus some made up ones!!
The mod is "supposed" to change the settings on boot. So it is only partially working it sounds like. When you reboot, do you have to adjust the setting again, or does it stay?

On reboot it changes to "None"

Wow! You have some options it looks like. Must be running Moar? Anyways, change lockscreen to light effect then with whatever file manager go to system/etc/init.d and delete the keyguardset file. Reboot and should be good

Using MetalROM 2.2
Deleted the file, still reverting to "None" on reboot.

Remove the .txt from the file attached and replace the file you currently have. I made only the change for the lockscreen effect. Mine shows permissions set to rw-rw----

DOWNLOAD FLARE_LOCKSCREENv1.1a
