After decompiling SystemUI.apk, what needs to be done in order to remove the recent apps section from the notification pulldown?
The easy way to remove the recent apps is to edit dimens.xml in SystemUI.apk in /res/values-hdpi. Change the line "recent_app_icon_height" from 120.0 px to 0.0 px.
To remove 4G from the Quick Settings tab, edit /res/layout/quick_settings.xml (also in SystemUI.apk) and change the line from
<include android:id="@id/wimax" layout="@layout/status_bar_preference" />
To:
<include android:id="@id/wimax" layout="@layout/status_bar_preference" android:visibility="gone" />
nvm, fixed it

You'll have to open the original and modded apk side by side using 7zip and pull the META-INF and the android manifest.xml from the original apk into your modded one. adb push that once you got that done and reboot. You should be good to go now.
Thanks so much, everything worked so far. One last thing. I used UOT to make some modifications to the pulldown such as transparency and just changing colors. However, it doesnt seem to change the color of the notification text (switched from white background to black transparent). What xml edit do I have to make to change the text in notifcations and quick settings to white instead of the original black?
Greetings
i do not have have a one x but i have come up with a solution for the errors in apktool when recompiling framework-res.
i have a rezound and have run sense 4.0 on my phone. the screen res is also very similar to the one x.
there are four xmls in values that need to be rewritten.
anims.xml
layout.xml
a small change in plurals.xml
and raw.xml
the change made in plurals has to be made in all the foreign language plurals if you want to keep the languages. you can however delete them if you like. the framework i am posting has the plurals fixed for all languages though.
i am posting also my version of apktool which i have modified to properly smali htc apks.
to begin.
download the apktool linked here
unzip and place the folder wherever you want on your computer.
pull framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from your rom and place in the apktool folder
open a command window to apktool. (right click on your apktool folder and hit shift at the same time. one of the options will be to open a command window.)
type apktool if framework-res.apk hit enter
then type apktool if com.htc.resources.apk hit enter
now your needed dependencies are installed.
type apktool d framework-res.apk framework hit enter.
note im naming the out folder framework. you can name it anything you like.
this will create a decompiled framework-res. i named the folder framework so there will be a framework folder in your apktool folder now.
go to res/values anims.xml
change this
<anim name="htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator">@anim/zzz_htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator</anim>
to this
<item type="anim" name="htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator">@anim/zzz_htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator</item>
go to res/values layout.xml
change this
Code:
<layout name="htc_list_item_2text_2stamp">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_2stamp</layout>
<layout name="htc_list_item_2text_bright">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_bright</layout>
<layout name="htc_list_item_image_2text_image_bright">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_image_2text_image_bright</layout>
<layout name="htc_list_item_imageicon_2text_2stamp">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_imageicon_2text_2stamp</layout>
<layout name="htc_list_item_imageicon_text">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_imageicon_text</layout>
<layout name="htc_list_item_separator">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_separator</layout>
<layout name="keyguard_screen_device_unlock">@layout/zzzz_keyguard_screen_device_unlock</layout>
<layout name="pin_keyboard">@layout/zzzz_pin_keyboard</layout>
to this
Code:
<item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_2text_2stamp">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_2stamp</item>
<item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_2text_bright">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_2text_bright</item>
<item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_image_2text_image_bright">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_image_2text_image_bright</item>
<item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_imageicon_2text_2stamp">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_imageicon_2text_2stamp</item>
<item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_imageicon_text">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_imageicon_text</item>
<item type="layout" name="htc_list_item_separator">@layout/zzzz_htc_list_item_separator</item>
<item type="layout" name="keyguard_screen_device_unlock">@layout/zzzz_keyguard_screen_device_unlock</item>
<item type="layout" name="pin_keyboard">@layout/zzzz_pin_keyboard</item>
go to res/values plurals.xml
go to line 79
change this
%d of %d
to this
%1$d of %2$d
now remember every foreign language plural needs that change or just delete them.
go to res/values raws.xml
change this
<raw name="fallbackring_htc">@raw/zzzz_fallbackring_htc</raw>
to this
<item type="raw" name="fallbackring_htc">@raw/zzzz_fallbackring_htc</item>
now when all of the plurals are changed or deleted ( do NOT delete the plurals in res/values. that has to be changed.)
type apktool b framework hit enter. this will build your apk.
here are the res/values xmls modded already to make this easy.
download here replace the existing decompiled xmls with these.
now when you decompile to make further changes you will find that three of the xmls
anims.xml
layout.xml
raws.xml
compile back to their original format so save the modified decompiled xmls
this is the modified framework
framework-res
please post any issues
For compile I'm using apktool b <directory>. I got http://pastebin.com/quWsK7mP

@fernando if you don't decompile .apk with -t then you don't need to install framework. To decompile framework-res.apk no dependencies are needed.

I'm trying to mod the framework to enable the ICS onscreen navigation keys but I can't get framework-res.apk to recompile after the mod has been made.
Anybody know what's going on?
Tried doing it using apktool 1.4.2/1.4.3 plus latest version of aapt. I've also tries the APK Mod toolkit thing, I just can't get it to recompile.
P.S. For those of you that ask "Why would you want On screen nav when there's physical/capacitive buttons?" I want to turn it on, then mod the key config to disable the back and menu keys and turn the home key into a dedicated camera key.
Any pointers, or a working framework-res upload would be great.
Also, I'm using the "stock" DeOdexed/Rooted LG2 release.

I bet you are having the plurals errors. Try this...
in res\values\plurals.xml
look for
Code:
<item quantity="other">%d of %d</item>
make it
Code:
<item quantity="other">%d of %%d</item>
res\values-en-rUS\plurals.xml
look for:
Code:
<item quantity="other">%d of %d</item>
make it

res\values-es\plurals.xml
look for:
Code:
<item quantity="other">%d de %d</item>
make it
Code:
<item quantity="other">%d de %%d</item>
It should compile just fine after that. I had the same errors.
Yes. Fergie. I have been using your Navy bar from blazer. I would like the bar to have the back and recent button reversed back to stock positions. Like the galaxy nexus button order. I sent a pm a fee days ago. THANKS

Good luck. If it doesn't compile let me know and I'll give a shot at enabling the on screen buttons. I just need to know the tutorial to follow.

Aaaaaand... Bootloop. Though weirdly when I copied framework-res.apk to /framework, the icon turned into the airplane mode icon just before I reboot, soo... I'm going to give this another shot.
Edit: Still no luck. I shouldn't be signing the apk, should I?
Did you give it the right permissions? 0644 I believe.

How do I set permissions?
Depends on what you are using.. If Root Explorer, I believe you get the option if you tap and hold the file.

I got it to boot. Sort of. But then it would have an error. SecPhone force closed, which was causing a soft boot.
This was after adb pushing the file instead of moving with Root Explorer. And whenever I replace system files using Root Explorer I always drop the file in root, which usually resets the permissions anyways.
Maybe adb push, boot to recovery and chmod from there?
If that would work, what's the shell command I should use to chmod for setting the permissions right?
Post the apk. Maybe we can get it to boot. And root explorer doesn't change the permissions for me. I have to do it manually.
Okay, so pushing the signed framework gets a boot but it crashes, and pushing an unsigned one causes a bootloop.
Gimme a sec, I'm upping to mediafire.

That's the signed apk that sort of boots.
This is a quick dev guide to enable navigation bar for S4.
Decompile SystemUI.apk go to res/values/drawables and add:
Code:
[COLOR=#8b008b]<item [COLOR=#ff0000]type[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="drawable"[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]name[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="tw_navigationbar_bg"[/COLOR]>[/COLOR]#ff000000[COLOR=#8b008b]</item>[/COLOR]
Now download attached files and copy files to corresponding folders in SystemUI.apk if folder does not exist(drawables-xhdpi) create it.
Compile SystemUI.apk and push to device (nothing will happen yet) Just to check device boots fine.
Now use any buil.prop editor and add line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You can also enable it now through framework-res method.
Reboot and your done.
Please hit thanks and give credits.
Hi OP,
This looks just what I've been waiting for - if only there was a way to disable the stock menu and back buttons; my only gripe with the S4 is that I'm always touching one of theses buttons accidentally

I just noticed that I have exactly the same problem as you are. Were you able to get it working ?
Its is more difficult decompiling and recompiling S4 SystemUI and I don't have time to write a tut now so 2 options
Use this you can turn nav bar on off with settings app or
Use this SystemUI.apk I have done the work for you it will recompile as normal and the only mod is %battery apart from that it is stock.

If you get an error in decompiling the apk, remove the "system_bar_settings_view.xml" and "system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml" from the layout folder
(SystemUI.apk\res\layout\). Don't forget to put the files back after compiling the modded statusbar.

No, unfortunately your systemui.apk is not compatible with my Rom.
I need to solve compilation errors. Any advice on that?
Thank you!
I was searching galaxy y forums to make my rom transparent and I got few guides but none of them worked
So I find a way my self (with help of my seniors) :laugh:
You need-->
* framework-res.apk of your rom
* apktool or any tool to recompile or decompile
* text editor like notepad++
* 7zip
* patience
* 5 minutes
Procedure-->
*Decompile framework-res.apk
* Open decompiled framework-res.apk folder and find res/values/styles.xml
* open it via notepad++
Note--> styles.xml is the key file, it control all apps layout and look.
* In styles.xml search for <style name="Theme"> this is the main theme layout. all app uses this.
* Under <style name="Theme"> search for <item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
*Now change this to <item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
* Now add this line <item name="windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
below this line--> <item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item> this line makes all system apps background to transparent.
Now you have to ways to set transparency and colour [Very Important part] Use any one method you like
first method -->
Make a transparent image save it as png file. Make sure it has correct resolution(for galaxy y it's 240 x 320 )
Dont make full transparent, it looks odd
Save it and paste in drawable ldpi (Might be mdpi/hdpi for other devices)
Now open res/values/styles.xml and look for <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
Change this to <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/image</item> *(here I save my png named with "image",You can save it with any name)
Save it and recompile with original signature and push it to your system/framework folder :laugh:
second method -->
open res/values/styles.xml and look for
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
Change this to <item name="windowBackground">#80ffffff</item> or any other color hex code as u want. First two digits control transparency.
Save it and recompile with Original Signature and push it to system/framework and done.
Important notes-->
1.I use TickelMyAndroid tool to recompile and decompile..It's easy to use and there's an option to sign with original signature..If u don't use tickel my android then u need to do below steps
Compile framework-res.apk and open it with 7zip and delete resources file . open stock framework (unedited) with 7zip,, and open edited framework with 7zip.
drag and drop resources file and res folder from unedited to edited framework..
Thats it. Push it to system/framework.
2.If u push framework through mobile (root explorer or any root browser) then first change permission of framework-res.apk to r-w--r--r and then push
3.This procedure for stock rom.. If you use any custom roms then in styles.xml the codes might be setted already to transparency.. Then you just need to skip those lines and leave them and do the Rest procedure
Awesome

* Under <style name="Theme"> search for <item name="colorBackground">@color/background_dark</item>
*Now change this to <item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item>
* Now add this line <item name="windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
below this line--> <item name="colorBackground">@color/transparent</item> this line makes all system apps background to transparent.
Now you have to ways to set transparency and colour [Very Important part] Use any one method you like
first method -->
Make a transparent image save it as png file. Make sure it has correct resolution(for galaxy y it's 240 x 320 )
Dont make full transparent, it looks odd
Save it and paste in drawable ldpi (Might be mdpi/hdpi for other devices)
Now open res/values/styles.xml and look for <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
Change this to <item name="windowBackground">@drawable/image</item> *(here I save my png named with "image",You can save it with any name)
Save it and recompile with original signature and push it to your system/framework folder :laugh:
second method -->
open res/values/styles.xml and look for
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_dark</item>
Change this to <item name="windowBackground">#80ffffff</item> or any other color hex code as u want. First two digits control transparency.
Save it and recompile with Original Signature and push it to system/framework and done.
Important notes-->
1.I use TickelMyAndroid tool to recompile and decompile..It's easy to use and there's an option to sign with original signature..If u don't use tickel my android then u need to do below steps
Compile framework-res.apk and open it with 7zip and delete resources file . open stock framework (unedited) with 7zip,, and open edited framework with 7zip.
drag and drop resources file and res folder from unedited to edited framework..
Thats it. Push it to system/framework.
2.If u push framework through mobile (root explorer or any root browser) then first change permission of framework-res.apk to r-w--r--r and then push
3.This procedure for stock rom.. If you use any custom roms then in styles.xml the codes might be setted already to transparency.. Then you just need to skip those lines and leave them and do the Rest procedure

Basically, They are all same guides. It doesn't matter which one you try, you'll be doing same steps. The link i've posted above contains 4 guides including the ones you've posted here.
Anyway, a nice try !

In those tuts they didn't mention to use transparent images Thatswhy they didn't worked..but in your link the third method only seems to be working (see my 2nd method here in the post ) Rest three methods of your link didn't worked for me .(as I tried before)
