[MOD] [JVP] Statusbar Tweaks - EDT - 6/14/11

Hey guys,
So in order to prepare for our (eventual) Vibrant Gingerbread release I started working on porting a couple of my mods to JVP just to learn and this just sort of happened.
With Gingerbread, I only needed to change one thing in the system, SystemUI.apk. The rest is set with my app. Furthermore, with how the app is setup, these mods can easily be ported to (I'm guessing) any Gingerbread ROM.
How the mods work: with how it is setup, there's almost no smali editing (I'm just as surprised as you are). I simply coded widgets in Java, and decompiled the new Smali classes and put them into SystemUI. Then all I had to do was change the SystemUI statusbar.xml layout to include my new widget. However, I had to add in some smali code to get the battery & the signal bar to toggle, however, they're very easy edits . Now on to the good stuff.
Installing
You can install the EDT Tweaks app or you can push it to /system/app
You must push SystemUI.apk to /system/app
I don't want to make a flashable quite yet because I want more experienced users to test this out, etc.
ROM Developers
You may use this in your ROM, however I have a few conditions:
-Keep the EDT "About" section intact. You may add to it, but do NOT remove anything from it.
-Do not rename the EDT Tweaks app, but you may provide your own icon for it
kanging is bad mkay
Sources
For people who wish to incorporate this into their own framework or modify it the sources are in my github (link in my sig, I suck at github btw)
Porting
As I said earlier, there's minimal smali editing. So. To port this to your SystemUI.apk you need to first decompile both of our SystemUIs, then grab the extra files from mine (BatteryText*.smali & Clock*.smali) and put them in yours.
Next, you can just grab my SystemUI.apk/res/layout/status_bar.xml and put it in the same location as yours. I doubt yours has changed much .
Alright almost done! Now to get the icons toggling (my text widgets will toggle without the following smali edits) you can just copy my StatusBarPolicy.smali over to yours OR if you really want to know the edits I did (if you're not using a Galaxy S based phone) open up com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy.smali and search for "# start." All of my additions start with it and will end with a similar tag. I can help if you like, just message me.
Bugs
- any modifications to the icons will take a minute to update (signal bar toggle & battery icon toggle, just unplug/replug to toggle it, or it will show when percent goes down)

Please make it flashable. This way you can attract more users and who knows maybe some donations since this is a very good idea. Keep up the good work

Ok, as requested, flashable attached in the OP. Let me know if it works okay for you.

can you modify the app so it changes the battery icon colors not the battery text style color that you made? in my opinion it would be more awesome

[MOD] "Nag-Free" Statusbar | No Wifi, Carrier, GPS, Battery Full or IME Notifications

[MOD] "Nag-Free" Statusbar | No Wifi, Carrier, GPS, Battery Full or IME Notifications
For personal reasons, I cannot continue to support this thread. If someone wants to take itb over, PM me, and I will send you the files to comp. Thanks!
Hi All, the attached flashable zip will stop several of the annoying "nag" notifications in the statusbar, including the Carrier Label, "GPS Searching", "Battery Full" and "Select Input Method" notifications that drive me crazy. As the Wifi notification has already been addressed in another thread, I did not include it, but I can if people want an all-in-one solution (mine likely nwould be done a different way). This is based on the latest UCALJ2 firmware and is DE-ODEXED.
I have ben running this for several hours, and all seems OK, but, as always, you flash this mod at your own risk and I am not responsible for what happens. If people notice any bugs or FC,s please let me know in the thread.
PLEASE NOTE: This will replace your SystemUI.apk and services.jar. Accordingly, if you are using a ROM that has custom versions of either of those files, this will remove said customization! Please ask your dev if this is the case, and, if so, ask to have the changes made compatible with the ROM in question (I am happy to provide code, but it's way too much for a "How To").
To Install:
Make NANDROID Backup;
Download http://d-h.st/Rmx and place on internal or external SDCard;
Reboot into recovery;
Flash zip in recovery (dalvik wipe recommended);
Enjoy!

Oh yeah, no carrier label, either...

Will this work on stock rom with only root ????

Thanks for the mod,
2 Q's
1. Will enacting this mod alter the signal indicator icons? (4G LTE, 4G, etc). Because in another thread for a custom ROM, you had the choice to apply the "Canada" style status bar with no Carrier Label, but the signal indicator would not be like the AT&T version, so I was not sure if this mod swapped them out.
2. Would I still be able to switch my keyboard on the fly when I am typing? or does removing the icon also remove the entire notification?
Thanks.

I can confirm that this has the ATT icons. Also, works great on CleanROM with Perseus kernel.

Im on stock kernel, CleanROM. Awesomeness
I will probably give it a whirl and reply back.

Att icons are unaffected. It will prevent you from changing input method on the fly. I am happy to make a version that doesn't (I.e., wont hide the ime notification), as that's the only useful one if thise I removed. Can lkely get it out tomorrow at some point.

OK, I'll take a look.
BTW - I have added wifi removal to the zip, as I thought it would be nice to have it all in one zip. the wifi removal is coded by me and entails minimal coding, as the existing one looks like it may be from a different build...

I may be mistaken, but that does not appear to be a straight UCALJ2-based ROM...accordingly, this would not work properly.

Any chance of removing the ongoing NFC icon in the status bar? Now that Google Wallet can work on our devices I'm tired of that icon already.

Link to a TUT to mod the dpi of an APP??

Could someone please point me to a link that will help me mod an app to be used at 240dpi. I have searched and nothing comes up about a tut to change from 320dpi to 240dpi.
I dont want to change the dpi to 240 of the rom. I want to be able to mod the app so when 240dpi is used it will still look right in terms of the layout.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Evil.

You want to look for the xposed framework. You can change dpi on an app by app basis.

Yes I know that thinks but the problem is some apps don't like lower dpi's as they have not been created for them. E.g. the stock dialer of TW can't be used at 240dpi as the dialpad is all out.
Cheers for your response though.

Again as I said to the guy above you 2 posts, I already know about that and use it but some apps don't look right with 240dpi. I want to mod the apps themselves to be able to be used at 240dpi.
Thanks though.
Cheers,

Ah. That's a bit different than the way your inquiry originally read. :/

Sorry, wording is everything I agree. I want to mod the actual apps so they look right when used at 240dpi.
I'll edit the first post.
Cheers,

You need to use xposed settings for the apps that don't look well.
Just select the app in it and in dpi change it to 320dpi.
This is mostly to be done with system apps as play store apps are generally made to be scaled.

Exactly what I don't want. Please read the posts in the thread. I want to mod the apps that don't work with 240dpi so that when the rom I am using is in 240dpi app layouts that don't work with 240 will work.

No I'm sorry don't you people read. I want a tut that guides me on how to turn an app into a multi dpi app so that I can use the same app between different roms at different dpi's
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

I don't think there is a guide about it.
Try contacting bala_gamer where he learnt from.
I think you should unpack both stock and modded apps to see what is changed in there.
Unpack both with apktool from google.
Then use a compare tool that will calculate the differences between the two apks.

[Q] Editing secmms.apk of TW ROMS

Hi,
I'm trying to learn to edit the secmms.apk file of TW Note 2 ROM. But, this being the first time, i couldn't find any guides or threads to help me on this.
I have decompiled the apk file and now i'm stuck as i couldn't understand what files mean what.
Could you please help me point to the correct path?
thanks for your help..:angel:

If you don't know where to go, how you can find path
First decide what changes you want to make on secmms. then search on XDA suppose you like to stop SMS to MMS conversion then search for same, you will find result and make changes accordingly.
This is way to learn and keep it on..

I know what i want to change.
It's not much. I just would like to change the background and making alterations in the bubble styles along with their contact photos for every sms like in AOSP SMS app
But, the problem is, first i couldn't find the normal res folder which contains all the layouts as in other apk files.
So, i'm lost as in where to find the XML files which has to be modded.
I searched the forum but, i'm not able t find one for modding TW's secmms file.
Could you please point me somewhere? I badly need this.

Have you deodexed secmms.apk?

[Q] Add a personalized soft key

Hello everyone,
I would like to know how is it possible to add a software key down of the screen of my phone? Not personalize, but add a soft key for turn the screen off like on the capture attached.
I know that the ROM used on this screen capture is Flash Liquid Smooth, but I want to keep my Sense UI!
Thanks in advance

Nobody knows?

I think it can be done with xposed modules, I recall a video on youtube that discussed it. Might want to search on youtube for it.
I'm at work now so I can't do the searching on youtube(Damn filters) . If I recall correctly, I think it might have been Armando Ferreira that discussed it, though I'm not 100% sure.

Yes, I've already seen this, it's that kind of module that I need, but this one (Xposed GEL) doesn't match at my needs because it's for the stock launcher and it replaces the back button while I would like to add a button!

That's a good module although there is a constant consumption of RAM.
I'll try this and if someone has another solution, say it please!

I'm pretty sure there's an app on the playstore called softkeyz that'll do what you're looking for.

Yes, it's a great app, but it's only to replace the icon of the soft key and not to add one.
