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

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 !

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
i just finished the tutorial which addresses those errors

Thanks very much for the heads up, good to see this fix
@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.

No as such device or specific fw requirements for this guide/How-to to work.
Ok, so this would be my first ever tutorial on XDA so bear with me. I would try to explain as much as possible.
This How-to focuses on adding another info section in settings.apk. This guide is intended to be used by ROM Devs and Themers. I did a thorough research if their is any guide similar to this in this forum section but couldnt find any so here it goes.
Prequistes:
Be able to Decompile/Compile apks
Notepad++
Patience
Firstly you have to decompile SecSettings.apk (If you are using JB fw) or Settings.apk (If you are using ICS fw) it doesn't matter which fw you are using the rest of the guide will be the same.
After you have decompiled the SecSettings.apk or Settings.apk, go into the folder you decompiled to then res/values/strings. Open strings with any code editor such as Notepad++ after that add these two lines before the end line:
<string name="mod_version">XenonMOD version</string>
<string name="mod_version_info">Xenon-v2.00.00</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE: You can change XenonMOD version to anything you like and also Xenon-v2.00.00. I am using these as a example.
Next go to res/xml/device_info_settings.xml and add these lines before the ending line:
<Preference android:key="mod_version" style="?androidreferenceInformationStyle" android:title="@string/mod_version android:summary="@string/mod_version_info" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now recompile everything. If you have done everything as stated you should end up with a perfectly good SecSettings.apk or Settings.apk that has a another info/thread added to it. Congratulations!
NOTE: You can use this guide to add whatever info you want to the Settings section.
Follow me on twitter @TaimurAkmal. I would be able to solve any problem that you may have quicker, if you reach me with a tweet.

ahh sorry i forgot to
now done
Nice, unfortunately this didn't work on my Nexus, when I copy paste then it's not normal if I follow the other lines in that file I put the texts the correct sequence then I can successfully compile settings.apk and when I replace settings.apk it is not shown and not working, I have also tried by signing apk via Dsixda's android kitchen but still the same issue, btw: I use latest Android version on my Nexus and I don't think that is the issue...
Maybe something to do with SettingsProvider.apk or does smali files need editing?
Thanks

nice guide, this is what i searching for. Thanks :good:
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

you have to put <item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item> inside drawables.xml, you can find it under decompiled SystemUI.apk /res/values

recompile systemui.apk
i get a lot of @Styles errors and no default warnings when i try to compile
I tried using both latest version of apktool v152 and aapt from feb 2013 method and apkmanager v6.1 method and the results are the same
after i cleared the @style warnings with the "+" solution I am able to compile systemui.apk but when I copy it onto my device I lost the status bar and I still cant enable the navigation bar.
anyone else getting the same results?

Decompile errors
I'm trying to decompile SystemUI.apk (copied it from my phone "system\app" to "\place-apk-here-for-modding" folder) using ApkManager V6.1.
I'm getting an error message. Can somebody help please ? Log is attached.
Thanks!
Ok. I was able to decompile SystemUI.apk using ApkManager V6.1. The problem was in missing framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk in "apktool" folder.

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.

One question before I proceed with your advice. I have Canadian SGH-I337M version with rooted stock I337MUMUAMDJ rom.
Can I use your SystemUI.apk (%battery mode) with my ROM ?

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!
This would be helpful to those who are using rom with trans. Background and want to convert it to black like in Hyperion rom!!!!!!!!!!
So let's begin
1. Decompile your framework-res.apk (dont ask me how to)
2. Go to res folder, open values folder and then styles.xml
3. In that scroll down and find <style name="theme">
4. Under that you will find <item name="colorbackground">
change its color from transparent to black.
5. It should look something like this <item name="colorbackground">@color/black........
6. Now scroll down and find <item name=windowbackground> and do same
for it as above.
7. Now scroll almost to last and find <style name="theme.expandedmenu"> and change
the values under it as done above.
8. Compile it and copy META-INF and androidmanifest.xml from original apk to the
new one.
9. Most important= enjoy and do press thanks!!!!!!

Code:
You will need
framework-res.apk from the rom you are modding
SystemUI.apk from your Rom
Notepad++ or another text editor of your choice
apktool
First decompile Systemui.apk with this comand
Code:
apktool d systemui.apk
Navigate to systemui/res/values/bools and open it with Notepad++ and change this line:
from
PHP:
<bool name="doze_display_state_supported">false</bool>
<bool name="doze_pulse_on_pick_up">false</bool>
to
Code:
<bool name="doze_display_state_supported">true</bool>
<bool name="doze_pulse_on_pick_up">true</bool>
Save and ricompile systemui with this comand:
PHP:
apktool b systemui
Now start to mod framework-res.apk
Decompile framework-res.apk with apktool with this comand:
Code:
apktool d framework-res.apk
Navigate to framework-res/res/values/string and open it with notepad++ and change this line:
from
PHP:
<string name="config_dozeComponent"></string>
to
PHP:
<string name="config_dozeComponent">com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.doze.DozeService</string>
Save and close.....
Now in the same folder open bool.xml and with notepad++ and mod this line:
from
PHP:
<bool name="config_dozeAfterScreenOff">false</bool>
<bool name="config_powerDecoupleInteractiveModeFromDisplay">false</bool>
to
PHP:
<bool name="config_dozeAfterScreenOff">true</bool>
<bool name="config_powerDecoupleInteractiveModeFromDisplay">true</bool>
Save it and close....
Now in the same folder open Interger.xml with notepad++ andmod this line:
from
PHP:
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessDoze">1</integer>
to
PHP:
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessDoze">17</integer>
Now recompile with this comand:
PHP:
apktool b framework-res.apk

Not trying to be a jerk, but I noticed a typo in your commands:
apktool b systemui
should be $ apktool b systemui.apk
There are some people who would copy and paste and not realize why their apk wasn't compiling properly
Does it work well? However I cant decompile correctly apks because of this error: ".....could not decide arsc file." it will be great if we could have a flashable zip ?
Please post a flashable zip for stock 5.0 =)
Today i will make flash zip
Don't know why but caused bootloop. Maybe I made a mistake. Why I'm saying this is to remind that you should backup system first just in any case especially if you are going to flash new apk's on your existing rom.
hell !!! i need flashable zip for stock. i was editing systemui apk on kitkat but a few times i f.cked up
Can you upload the edited file? There's no need to do this procedure every time.
Sorry for noob questions, but what am I supposed to do after compiled framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk? And where can I find these file? (I have a flashable ROM zip)
IMO that "feature" would bring more issues than benefits... For example, huge battery drain.
I downloaded a zip from forum.frandroid and display settings shows ambient display. But I think there are some issue with the sensors. Sometimes my phone light up even if it is in my pocket, and pick up the phone from a table do not wake up the screen when a notification come

Strangely even on the nexus 6 it says that battery won't last as much as with that feature off, even its screen is optimized for that feature (AMOLED)

Definetely. In AMOLED screens, each pixel has its own backlight, black pixels don't produce light and don't require energy, so Ambient Display is suitable for AMOLED screens, but IPS LCD (Nexus 4's screen) costs more energy when backlight is on even if all pixels are black. Because of that, Ambient Display on Nexus 4 will drain much more battery.
I applied the changes but it ended up in a bootloop even though compiling and everything went fine. Luckily I've done a backup.
I used these instructions from Android Origins website and ambient display feature becomes available under display settings however as others have reported it really does not work correctly. When I pick up the phone nothing happens, notifications do turn on the display but at the cost of battery life. I would not suggest bothering with this as it is essentially useless on our devices. If you do want to try definitely backup in case you run into issues.
question
Is there a way that i can call this feature from an app? like an intent? i would like to setup a service to call this funtionality under other circustances also what is actually done at this point? are we just showing the same thing but in blank and white? how can i archive the same in other screens.
Thank you
