Hello friends !
i would like to know witch method do u use to change the position of statusbar elements, such as cell and wifi signal to the left (in that order would be great), and clock to the center. i mean, witch xposed framework module, on stock 10.5.A.0.230
My previous phone was a Moto RAZR HD, and when i was on CM11 there's a module that it's exactly what i'm looking for, but it's for AOSP based roms. I don't want to try it because is obvious that the code from sony's systemui.apk stock roms and systemui.apk aosp roms are very different.
(This one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-ios7-x-flat-style-module-t2666827[any one have tried it already on sony stock?])
I notice that there's a "manual" method , decompiling (dunno if that word actually exists, but hope you can understand the concept) systemui.apk, change a few lines lines of it's code, and then compile it again. But that method it's on xda since gingerbread. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174202)
My configuration is 4.4.2 stock, rooted, with xposed framework 2.6.1, As you can imagine, my BL is locked with simlock (waiting for my carrier's answer )
Feel free to post o ask whenever you want.
Thanks in advance, and sorry the poor english. Hope you understand.

Hello all,
I have been searching for a while but couldn't find any specific info on this subject. I'm wondering if different lockscreens can be used on ROMs other than CyanogenMod. I use TheOfficial HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM, Can custom lockscreens like Stericson's be used? Thank you all Developers/ROM cookers for making all these awesome modifications to these phones possible. Please dont flame me, Im new to all this...
thanks all...
I am pretty sure the lockscreen has not been ported over to 1.6 yet. I know it is being worked on.
I know an unmodified services.jar from the 5a lockscreen will work with akirahs rom, but a modded services.jar will not go past the first splash screen.
Lockscreens can be added to any rom, provided you have the source for it's services.jar, however, as a simple "drop-in", no, it has to be designed for that rom because of specific dependencies between a rom's framework (though two roms based on the same framework should work as long as it's not been odexed). There's a way to do it, though, but it's a lot of work, you could have the services read off of an xml that you can store in your system folder (maybe etc) and toss your changes there. I'm working on..... .nevermind
hi,
quick question: how to edit the quick settings in the drop-down menu (notification tray) in Gingerbread Sense ROMs ? (im using insertcoin)
i want to know ! how to do ?
Maybe this Thread helps you
well unfortunatetly no answer there, just an idea to decompile an .apk and suit it to my needs.
still, anyone ?
Its so simple in MIUI Rom... their is an option in settings/Personal/ Custom Status Bar..
Incase you desperately want the setting, you can try MIUI ;-)
Well it's a difference if you did the thing yourself or if you want to change a HTC based feature without big hacks. I think it's pretty much impossible.
But if there is a solution, let me know - 2G/3G is missing
it is not impossible, in stock you get only a few quick settings, in custom roms (rcmixs, insertcoin) devs extended it - i want to know how, so i can remove the unneeded shortcuts.
robocik: not that easy, you should take a modded systemui.apk and a stock one, decode both with apktool and diff them, that way you will see how it is maked and will be easier for you to modify it.
this is the method, have not tried it yet though.
if any of you intrested guys tries to do this, i really apprecieate your feedback here thx.
and big thanks to robo, not only for all the amazing job he is doing for our community, but also for responding to my Q
I have rooted Desire Z with Virtuous Sence v2 Rom.
Go to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071118
and download Extra QuickSettings 0.2
http://www.multiupload.com/W7GXFQJN6R
Extract SystemUI.apk from zip file.
I used DroidExplorer to replace original : system/app/SystemUI.apk
with the downloaded one and have ne quick settings menu.
Is there any way to change "quick settings" with rooting?
If by "change" you mean "add/remove features in the settings list", yes, there is. Check out this thread.
I want to change the notification screen to this one, is it possible? how can I do it?
Not sure I can see the identical screenshot, but there are very similar themes in JKay's theme mod thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154278
Or maybe try the uot kitchen?
http://uot.dakra.lt/
it is a screenshot from Steel Blue CM7 Theme for SGS2
how can I use this theme with my rom?
This is my baseband version: I9100TJJKF3
my kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100TJJKG1
build number: GINGERBREAD.JJKG1
Oh right - you could have said so...
Seems like you need a custom ROM first - choose one then the installation seems pretty straightforward, all you need is in that thread (Steel Blue thread)
If it's your first time for a custom ROM, read, read, read and search
If I will flash the custom rom and then re-flesh to my rom the theme will be gone? I have to use the custom rom all the time for this theme?
Sorry, I'm not concentrating or reading enough myself
There are themes for stock firmwares there - see post#2 - but not yours (KF3).
So if you want this theme on stock firmware, you'll have to choose another stock ROM (KF2 for example).
Yes, if you reflash stock over a custom ROM you'll lose the theme.
If it's only the notification bar you want and nothing else, I'd try the uot kitchen if I were you. I've not tried it myself, but it seems user-friendly, supports stock ROMs and you can customise just about everything.
I dont know how to use the uot kitchen, can you please help me?
I want to change the notification screen and bar to solid black, like on the pic I posted
Sorry - as said, I've never used it, and I'm offline for the next few hours.
Hope someone else can help.
Decompile SystemUI.apk, browse to /res/drawables-hdpi/ and find the picture you want to change, replace it, compile it and switch the drawables-hdpi folder in the apk
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
can you please explain step by step how to do it?
I'm new to android. I know how to flash roms and kernels but that's it.....
As I'm sure Bruflot is well aware of, his "advice" is something that someone new to this shouldn't touch with a bargepole.. I'm still new enough not to try...
Just tried a quick go with the uot kitchen and it will do what you want, just play with it. The "generate preview" will help enormously. If I had time I'd do it for you, but screaming kiddies await me...

Apparently you CAN'T THEME battery icon on Android version 4.4. Sorry, I can't explain all the developmental details.
simple explanation (ill try to explain)
In 4.4.2 roms battery icon is now build in .jar (its wroted in some kind of code inside .jar file) so that means there is no more .png images for battery and theme can not change it

that rly sux, i love theming and when the battery doesnt change then it looks incomplete and not good >_>
I just recently switched my stock rom to be deodexed and I'm now looking at the possibility of theming and mods for my rom.
I already have a little experience modding the signal icons on a different Android device, and I've already downloaded a mod from this forum that turns part of the stock dialer to a holo dark/material theme, but I want to do more with it.
So far I can't seem to find a good tutorial on how to properly mod system files, especially knowing that the stock rom on the Moto G is a Motorola variant of Android KitKat, and not AOSP or similar, although it's close enough that I figure some mods might work since many Xposed modules for AOSP work fine on my stock rom.
Would it be safe to look for a tutorial based on AOSP 4.4.4, or does anyone know a good place to learn the proper way to modify and theme a Motorola stock rom?

get apktool
with this decompile your apks you want to theme/mod
hapy theming! (there plenty of tutorials of how to edit images or the .9 patch files. with gimp etc.. just search )
after that recompile, if you just have edited some images (ressources) pull them afterwards from the new COMPILED apk out in a folder.
take the original apk & open with 7zip & pull the edited stuff into the right directions.
if you have done some advanced modification such as in values folder, you need after the new apk is compiled, open it with 7zip & pull from the original app the meta-inf folder into the new compiled one (singing) after tthat replace it on that phone
