First of all, You can add as many as you want tweaks in the build.prop (/system/)
I don't think the tweaks works in other build.prop, exept from build.prop in system

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.
Hi guys,
I'm a former i9100 owner and recent buyer of a Gnexus :victory:
I'm getting this new phone in 3 days , in the meanwhile i've done some research on XDA but there are some points which are still unclear to me.
I hope someone can help me out.
1) How can i change softkeys DPI? ( I mean how can i make them smaller so the screen for apps is bigger? )
1bis) How can i make the black bar transparent so the keys stay directly on wallpaper?
2) I've seen I can change softkeys and that's cool. Can i change also which buttons are displayed? ( for example i never use the right one, the open tasks manager ).
Thanks in advance!

1) Custom roms (most) have this option.
---If your rom does not have this option you can use This Guide (ignore the edits made in the video)
Instead navigate to \framework-res\res\values\dimens.xml
And edit these three lines:
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">42.0dip</dimen>
To the height you'd prefer.
YOU NEED to be on a deodexed (all custom roms...any rom you flash.)
Personally, I take it down to 0.0 dip and use LMTPie instead.
1bis[lolwut]) Eh. There are some hackey little tweaks that a few are making...
Personally; I think you end up with too many bugs and it isn't worth it.
2)Yes, via custom roms.

Lulz, sorry.

I think most people who like a stock feel are using "Mmuzzy" builds.
I personally run the heavily modified AOKP.
Edit:
Also, as for your "customizing nav buttons" question...
This is definitely not a stock feature...so it wouldn't be in stock rooted.
AOKP and I'm sure others that are 4.2 based include the option.
There isn't a publicly available 4.2.1 build for AOKP, however. The team is working on mashing all of the features back in.
Ok sorry for the dumb question but...how does AOPK roms behave on gnexus?
on my i9100 anything which is NOT based on stock (ie cyanogen) has a massive battery life penalty compared to stock-based. For example with my stock based+ custom kernel i can achieve around 35 hours with normal usage ( 1 hour call, whatsap and browser ) while on cyanogen i dont get such results.
This is why i take stock roms deodexed and work on them
hello guys, i want to create my own ROM based on a google stock rom or revolution HD 10.1, but i want some mods from xylon ROM that i cant live without anymore. the mods i want is:
Edit tiles(quick toggles).
unlock phone when correct pin is entered
when dialing the number in phone app, shows some matching numbers of contacts.
bettery indicator mod
disable fullscreen keyboard
themes from cyanogenmod
power menu options
expanded desktop.
and some apps that i want integrated.
flash player
calculator, browser and clock from xylon.
audio mod.
and root.
can someone help me?
i want to make my own rom because i think that other roms have too many features that i dont use and i want to make it almost like stock rom, because i love the stability of stock and revoHD.
thanks in advance.
I would start by learning how to compile from source and use git

You want mods added to a ROM? Editing a current ROM is a horrible way to go about it when you have all this source code laying around. There is currently a help thread in this nexus forum explaining EXACTLY what you want.

Hello and Sorry for my bad english.
To enable multi-user at the tab 3 10.1, first you musst root your stock rom.
Then instal BusyBox from the playstore open it and instal.
Now you take a build.prop editor (maybe from playstore) and open, now add a new property.
Name it: fw.max_users
At the key you fill how many users you want (2 at my tab)
Save and Reboot!
Now in the options, you shold can add new users.
Did you try this?
I had to modify my framework-res.apk to enable MultiUser.
Yes, i have it so on my P5210. Works perfekt!
I tried it today, but it didn't work for me. I ended up in a bootloop. Had to copy back the original build.prop to boot my Tab3 again.
Think the solution with build.prop doesn't work on all devices. I'm using a Galaxy Tab3 10.1 (GT-P5200) / P5200XXUAMK7 [4.2.2].
What is your device/firmware?
It's a bit confusing why some have to edit the build.prop and others have to modify framework-res.apk.
Does this really work? Just wondering, because I thought we had to use the xposed framework hack. Man it would be great if it's just a build.prop addition. You may want to tell the dev's of the pimpdroid, and grievous roms if this is all it takes to get multi user on 5210.

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
