My customized status bar - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

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).

Hello, what does Recovery 3e and e2 mean?
Can I download the 2 files, replace them on my mobile and then use GoLauncher? I assume that the notification bar from your theme will be used. As per the screenshots, it seem the battery icon has 1% reading, please confirm.
Thanks.

Sorry for too many questions. Actually I meant that the screenshot shows battery reading 92%, which means that it shows battery reading in increments of 1% instead of increments of 20% which is the case in some other themes.
I am new to this and didn't understand all the explanation but if I understand correctly I9003 has some old recovery mode. When this phone gets a new mode (when will it get this?), the files can be updated in some other (update.zip, whatever it means) way instead of copying them to root folder, is that right?
Anyway, if I just go ahead and replace the 2 files posted by you, can I use GoLauncher also? And what if I want to revery back to original?
Sorry again for questions that may be sounding silly.

[ICONS] Stock battery percentage

I decided that the current icons in ROMs showing battery percentage were way too blurry as they are the qHD versions. I decided to use the Sense 4.0 stock icons to generate a new set. Here they are, these are just the icons and they should be pushed to /system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi/

Oh they are amazing! I think all of the roms must use these icons. Thanks
thanks very much!
Due to the tedious process of pushing one by one, I've made a .bat to do it for you.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/73556022/battery_install.zip
Unzip the icons, put the .bat into the folder where you've got the icons located and run!
Sorry to be such a noob but can i replace these on my stock rooted 1.28 and, if so, can somebody explain to me the easiest way of doing it.
I don't see why not, It appears to have worked for me. Easiest way to do it is download the icons, unzip them, get the .bat I made and put that in the same folder as the icons, then run the .bat.
EDIT: After pushing them to the phone, it appears they haven't loaded. After pushing, I rebooted but I see no change to the battery status icon.
EDIT 2: Tried pushing just with the .zip, still no change to the stock battery icon.

Will this actual work by just replacing the icons?
ie From past experience on other devices, the battery will not display in 1% increments without further adjustments to the apk.

No, in most cases it wont!
Here is the complete working SystemUI.apk. It works only with a rooted rom (1.28.401.9).
Push it to /system/app/ (it is no update.zip!!!), restart the phone.
Do a backup first.

Hmm, have you got also the 100 charging_animation icons, the full and the unknown icon? I'd make a complete working 100% battery mod out of them. Been looking for better quality stock icons since some time. The animation in your systemUI is from circle-battery mod.
look inside VillainROM 1.1.1. The apk for it is in VillainROM-1.1.1-endeavoru_unsigned.zip/extra/batt/app/SystemUI.apk

May I use them in a stand-alone battery% mod, fully credited ofc?
Go ahead.
The circular battery indicator that Irkan made for non rooted Desires works for non rooted One X
Can you post a link to that circular battery indicator by Irkan
I downloaded the pics and the install bat.
But i get a error saying file or directory don't excist
And if i try and download the SystemUI.apk and push it i just get another error saying it "Read-only file system" Do i really have to root it first?

Any luck with that yet? I am in a similar situation. I flashed CM10 but miss the stock alarm clock. I am currently using Alarm Clock Xtreme from the play market which is the closest I have found so far.
Trying...
I am new to this so I have been trying to teach myself as I go. This is what I have done so far:
1) I managed to get the .apk and .odex from stock.
2) Copied them to the system/media folder
3) Matched the permissions on them both in ES File explorer.
4) Moved them to system/app
4) Restart device
This is still not working and will not install. I feel like I am either missing a crucial step (most likely) or it is not compatible.

If it's a Samsung touchwiz app it won't work for aosp roms, without some modification to the app itself, it's not compatible.
I recently disabled this service on my stock JB device. I took a look at the OS logcat file and was concerned seeing approx 100 errors every few seconds. Attached is a sample, which repeated along with lots of other mystery errors. Anyone know what it means? There were no signs of trouble using the phone, but seemed excessive. I had tried the widget once a few weeks ago, then removed it. No alarms were set. Am I over reacting? What does it mean?
Sorry for the html tags. Also attached link to full log file if anyone has any insight into this or the other errors constantly thrown. Is this normal?
Thanks!

This looks like it requires some hardcore reprogramming which unfortunately is beyond my capabilities at the moment. I am self teaching myself this stuff as I go and have minimal programming experience right now. Coming from TW to an ASOP rom can be tricky from what I have been reading.

[THEME][KEYBOARD]Hear my Trans a comin' Stock 4.2.2 Keyboard

This is the stock 4.2.2 keyboard. It is themed transparent and is fully functioning with a couple theme related items still to work out.

Are you using the stock ROM? Or custom ROM? If using stock 4.2.2 should read LatinIMEgoogle.apk
BTW ...if you want to experience transparency in the browser use Dolphin HD..Chrome uses key popup which overrides the transparency..

I must apologize, my simple brain didn't see the stock rom requirement lol. I'm on paranoid. Is there a way to use this on custom roms?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
If the version of android is 4.2.2 or probably even 4.2.x You can try, but your at MODERATE/HIGH risk of either FC loop or just boot loop. If you comfortable getting out of those than should be fine to test......I don't know if PA modifies the stock android keyboard or leaves it alone....
If you want to try, make a nandroid backup first and copy the PA keyboard you mentioned to sd , then try two things...
One, rename the themed apk to match the latinime.apk you mentioned earlier, push to system/app and fix permissions and owner, then reboot
That doesn't work, you can try to just push LatinImeGoogle.apk to system/app without overwriting the existing..

[Q][SOLVED] Custom Text in Status Bar

I've looked through threads on here and google of course but can't seem to find a simple application that enables you to put custom text in the status bar of my Xperia. I've seen a lot of apps that allow you to change the text in the pull down menu of the status bar.
Now I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358089
which is exactly what I'm looking for yet I'm having problems using the tool (tickle my android). In fact I've always had problems connecting my Xperia S through USB debug and getting it to work correctly.
Question: On the iPhone you are able to jailbreak it an download an app that enables you to add custom carrier text to the status bar quiet easy. Is such an apk available for android?
Phone Details:
Xperia S LT26i
Android 4.1.2

what exactly do you mean
if you mean custom fonts then that can be found in the system, you can change them but may cause a bootloop
if yoh ment custom carier label then you need to decompile the systemUi and edit the strings

android is not like an ios. it's not that easy to work with customization.
In MIUI you can change the carrier label using MIUIspnconfig.apk .... Maybe it will work with stock rom...

But yes, I've heard you have to decompile systemui.apk. I managed to pull it from my device and attempted to decompile it with tickle my android but for some reason wasn't able to decompile it. It allowed me to select SystemUK.apk, then when hitting enter to decompile it give me an error.

I've been with XDA for a while now and noticed that, Android is a bit more of a challenge than iOS. :laugh:
Try this
I suggest looking up the requirements for Apktool or what ever you used to decompile , just check that everythign is installed
aswell as ensure that your Framework-res.apk is installed and your UxpGeneric(blah forgot the name) is also installed
useful (with apktool)
frameworks can be installed using apktool if "NAME"
framwork files are necisary to decompiling and recompiling apk files ,

Hi,
This is a great tutorial to understand how to move stuff on the status bar - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767593
In the "Best Method", it is mentioned - HERE GOES ALL THE CODES FOR THE ITEMS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STATUSBAR
Once you understand how to do it, all you have to do is add a TextView element to the left part of the status bar, with the proper attributes and recompile the apk. Then copy META-INF and Android Manifest.xml from the original apk to the modified apk. That should do it
Good luck.
