[THEME] Clean TW Lockscreen Mod

Hi everyone!
I didn't like the animated arrows on Samsung's lockscreen, but couldn't find a mod for it here.
So I tweaked it a bit to remove the text and the arrows Here's a preview:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Includes my battery icons as a bonus
XWJPA
XWJPA (with multi-locale support)
XXJPO (with multi-locale support)

How-to:
1. Decompile framework-res.apk, navigate to \res\values\
2. do a search for strings.xml files in explorer
3. Drag and drop all the files from the search results into Notepad++
4. Find using REG expressions:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2.*
replace with:
zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2"> </string>
(Tip: use the "replace in all open documents" button)
5. Save all files
6. Compile apk as usual

Nice m8. Works great.
Edit: Noticed that I still have the text for swiping the screen. Did you remove only english text because mine is in finnish?

What is the name of the file you have edited to remove the wordings?

Nice
Can you also make this for JPM please?

Thanks for the note, here's a fixed version with support for other languages. Let me know if it works.

For English, it's under res\values\strings.xml
Do a search in the file for zzz_glass_lock_help_text_2
You can also find other strings.xml files for various languages in other values folders (e.g. values-es)

Is it possible to get this for JM1? I would absolutely love this D:

Using your JPO Version but changed battery icon (Version E from repository)
For anyone interested..
Updateable through CWM (rename to update.zip or use install from zip option).

thank you great work!

Does it need deodexed ROM?

As JPO and JPA seem to be mostly different in localization I would take a wild guess and say yes.
You better prepare an update.zip with your vanilla framework though better safe than sorry.

I agree.. i love the look of this theme..
If it included the ext. power menu.. I would use it forever.. lol
Maybe this is something that can be done by me if someone tells me how?
Also i am a noob with this stuff.. i have no idea how to install this even with instructions in thread.. So i would like to make this into a cwm flashable zip.. with the power menu added. If it's easy maybe someone could tell me how or just cook it up for me?

Damn I love that clock.
I wish there was a widget with that clock on the market,
looks very elegant

[REQ] Dropdown notification menu (Serendipity)

Hey guys, need some help here
I fell in love with the dropdown notification menu of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965760&page=16
BUT I have no idea how to extract it and zip it to flash through cwm
Is there anyone kind enough to help me @[email protected]?
Cheers!

that part is controled by tw-framework-res.apk ( think its called that you will notice it)
just copy that out of the roms update zip file and push it to your phone via adb and it should work.

Use winrar to pull the PNG you want and move just that accross
Sent from my GTI-9000 Using that XDA app thingy

The pull down bar is part of the TWframework-res.apk.
You need to extract the apk.
change the system_notification_bar.png (or whatever its called. I cant remember off hand) with the image you want. You will find the images in drawable hdpi folder.
Repack the TWframework-res.apk into a flashable zip and flash via CWM.

But it also has smaller control buttons on the top, so it's not just that file that needs to be changed...

Thanks for all the replies. Have tried extracting and failed. Totally zero experience in doing such stuff. Anybody else willing to download the rom and try to extract the necessary files?

Hi,
The 'twframework' file is from my darky's v9.3 zip file.. i'm using that right now..
The 'twframework(2)' file is from the serendipity rom which i'd to extract from..
The picture of the dropdown notification menu is shown in MikeyMike01's post above ^
Thank you

hello
i am needing some assistance too. i coped the status_bar_expanded.xml from the serindipity tw into my tw apk, and im finding this strange error. That graphic is usually the background to the music controls.
FYi i didnt copy the not. icons from serindipity
Thanks for your help.

Normally the bar above and below is the same background. This allows them to be different.
You should copy over the other images.
Note that the music player still works fine.

how can i use this themes wifi battery and etc icons only, in stock theme?

CM10.1 Changed recents app window

Ok after a request here i decide to give it a try to create this as i wanted too and also as i see that many asked it...this is created using as base a CM10.1 custom rom i think it will work unchanged with official CM10.1 rom but i dont think it will work with any other roms like AOKP or PA,Pacman...you need to edit it a bit to make it work...
I choose chrome based windows cause pretty like that what i wanted..you can try by changing a single .png file but you may having problems with application title..cause its coded to show in the place that chrome window have space...
Anyway this is my 2nd "Theme" called it what ever you liked

The distortion on the recent apps may caused by two reasons...
1)I have changed my dpi to 268 by editing build.prop
2)I have put wrong pixels size to thumbnails
Download
You can find more styles here
1. Stock Browser tab view style
2. Chrome Browser style
3. Black small line
Thanks @vicino for his tutorial
Thanks @evilisto for his tutorial too
I needed both tutorials to make this work!!

Ok to make this work...
1)Follow everything on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116735
1a)6. Go to framework-res\es\values\dimens.xml and change thumbnail height and width size to:
Here it ask you to change this two values to 160 and 240 as i do but as you can see it stretces my images so you may need to play with those values a bit!!
2)After this you need to have the two files a post...and you need to take YOUR APK same xml's and compare them with mine...for this i use this, i myself only edit what different on "MINE" xmls only..i left the APK'S xmls extra stuff as it is...
3)Do the same with the 2nd xml i have upload
4)Compile your apk and check your log if you had errors on compiling..
Its not extremly difficult the key part is to compare the two xml's and edit the right stuff...its not hard but need 40-45minutes to double check all the time the code on xmls!!
Have fun!

Will this work for Xylon?

Nice work
Which tool you used for compilation/decompilation?
coz mine is corrupting the apk I guess :/

Can't you just make a zip we can just flash? I'm running cm10.1 as well

Systemui is the most editable file in the rom..so all the new tweaks devs add to their roms pass through this file....my base rom is a cm10.1 with a bit of tweaks..so my systemui is a way smaller than systemui from PA and all this features are missing from PA's systemui...

Can someone please post a guide that allows me to have recents apps exactly like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589963 ?
It respect to stock and chrome style (that is also good) in really wonderful!
at the moment i use last Rootbox nightly, could it create problems?
Thanks

(guide) to change individual app dpi (manual method) for all roms

this is for paranoid android roms only
Guide to change individual app dpi
You will need;
1 A root level file explorer like root explorer
2 A little patience
To perform the changes
So you need to find out if the app you want to change the dpi level for is either a system or data app, to do this open your file manager and look in system/app or data/app. You need to then long press the app you want and press rename. Then copy the app name by long pressing the text and press copy, dont copy any .apk or -1 at the end of the name.
Then navigate to system folder and look for build. prop/pad.prop. press the mount rw button then long press open in text editor. So now you need to remember where you found your chosen app, was it system or data? If system long press under then system header or if it was a data app look for the apps header. To paste your app name in the right place find a empty line, long press then paste. You need to add at the start of the line for your app pa.
Nearly there!
So next at the end you need to add .dd= and then your chosen dpi level.
So for example for apex, I have it as a system app and my line in pad.prop for apex looks like
pa.com.anddoes.launcher.dd=221
Then you need to press menu key, then save and exit. Restart your app and it should display how you want
FOR ALL ROM'S

dude..pa by ice had some bugs before where users werent able to use the settings menu...soo guide is for the future build of pa hopefully
also for the people who for some reasons cant change the settings through the menu
and its always better to have a full knowledge of what the roms changes ..manual methods are always perfect

Anyways Good Job

My customized status bar

Here is a copy of my customized status bar.. basically a replacement systemui.apk
Copy to /system/app using root explorer .. change permissions to rw r r
If it reboots first you can change permission after next boot.
Change.
Transparent bar on home screen, black on others.
1% battery mod with multi color clear battery icons (I didnt create any icons got them other places)
Blue signal bars (red for 1 bar, blue for 2 3 and 4) (Still trying to figure out how to change to 5 signal bars).
blue icons for bluetooth, wifi, airplance, etc. etc.
New vibrate and no sound icons.
After reboot you can remove the systemui.odex file as it is no longer needed.
RECOMMEND you make a copy of these files first Sytemui.apk and systemui.odex to your sd card, In this way if the copy fails you can copy them back to system with difficulty between popups of systemui has failed messages.
THIS has only been tested on stock Tmobile MDL firmware..
If there is enought interest i will create a .zip to flash and flash back to normal..

because that is where anything that has to do with the statusbar and pulldown is placed in. the systemui. ie. togles, battery, all that stuff

you shouldnt be getting that message if you followed directions.. you don't install a systemui...you copy to system/app ..its amazing more phones aren't bricked by people that can't read.

Won't cause a brick just a boot loop or probably a force close. But actually updating it like that might work so long as the signatures match.

I'm not sure the signatures would match. becuase there were xml changes to add 1% battery mod i had to decompile and recompile it in apkmanager. Anyway I have never seen a systemui installed that way work. It would put another copy in user apps and leave the one in system just like when you update a system app such as maps (which I always remove the system apps.. not sure why rom builders put those in as whenver you update to newer versions it just wastes space is system).
