History:
Are you annoyed of the loading spinners on ICS??
Yeah those circles that go Round and round!!
Well this is a Mod that will simply increase the speed at with the frames are shown, so giving a feeling of smoothness to the loading circles.

}
First Thanks to D.O.C who made the first apearence of these spinners on GB in the SGS2 Days.
On the SGS3 also the procedure remains the same.
Files:
The xmls are located at framework-res.apk/res/drawable
This is the list of the xmls to edit
progress_large.xml
progress_large_white.xml
progress_medium.xml
progress_medium_white.xml
progress_small.xml
progress_small_titlebar.xml
progress_small_white
search_spinner.xml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Depending on the wish of the Developer, you can increase or decrease the Frame Rate of the spinners and get the feel to you liking.
I have kept it to my liking, so if you guys want you can also mod it to what suits you best.
Let me give you an example..
Procedure: progress_large.xml
Default SGS3 code
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-rotate android:drawable="@drawable/spinner_black_76" android:pivotX="50.0%" android:pivotY="50.0%" android:frameDuration="100" android:framesCount="12"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
Mod the Code to
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animated-rotate android:drawable="@drawable/spinner_black_76" android:pivotX="50.0%" android:pivotY="50.0%" android:frameDuration="22" android:framesCount="46"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
So what do you understand from this??
What you are doing here is simply increasing the frame rate of the spinner png.
(please hit up the source link above to see more info on this regard)
This same technique can also be applied on the ICS holo spinner, that's completely the dev's wish
all you have to do is increase the framerate of the holo spinner in the given time.
progress_medium_holo
progress_small_holo
progress_large_holo

Notice:
You need to be rooted.
You need to have cwm.
This is a framework mod.
If you have a theme flashed obviously you will loose it.
If you are on Stock Rom, then don't worry about any thing.
If your Rom dev has done framework mods too you may loose those mods.

For people on the latest LF2 Stock Rom (Odex or Deodexed) use the CWM Flash able zip Below.
Download:
CWM_SmoothSpinners_LF2.zip
(Give it a few seconds and the Download link will automatically show after a md5 check)

Taking this just in case!

Thanks for this!
Will flash tonight and see how it goes.
Is it as easy as copy to SDcard, and flashing with CWM (the Chainfire one) or recovery?
Also, I have a feeling I should back up some stuff before doing so. Should I just backup these?:
- progress_large.xml
- progress_large_white.xml
- progress_medium.xml
- progress_medium_white.xml
- progress_small.xml
- progress_small_titlebar.xml
- progress_small_white
- search_spinner.xml
Thanks again!

Those aren't spinners. Spinners are drop down lists on Android.
Might confuse some devs.

Hi guys, i have a new mod right here It's called Blurred StatusBarExpanded, what is it? see description below.
Description
Since PineappleOwl posted a guide for blurred lockscreen, i found out that we can put FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND for a window. Since TrackingView is a window, so we can put that flag .

​
How to do this?
Decompile SystemUI
Open up StatusBarService.smali
Find this method
Code:
.method onBarViewAttached()V
Find this inside that method
Code:
const v4, 0x20300
Replace that one with this
Code:
const v4, 0x20304
Last step, compile SystemUI and push!

Issues:
Maybe this one, i don't know why, if you rotate your device 90 degrees, and then open PowerDialog(host power button), you can see this one too.

Wifi Name, original idea from sir [user=4715592]@mariozawa[/user], but sadly, he didn't
release or continue it. This is also what we had on my theme, Android L
theme. It updates whenever you open/close your wifi. It gets the SSID
of the connection that is being scanned. So the bug here, it gets the
SSID even we are not connected, but I did put an onClickListener that will
make it to update whenever you got null or wrong SSID. You can put it
wherever you want. Let's get Started!
Steps
1.) Decompile your SystemUI.apk.
2.) Download ten_WifiName.zip on attachment and extract it to your smali/com folder.
3.) Now put this line:
Code:
<com.tenten.WifiName android:layout_width="100.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip" android:textSize="17.659973dip" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal" />
I didn't use wrap_content so you can still click it to update whenever it gets null SSID
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4.) Recompile your SystemUI.apk and push or flash it.
5.) If working, dont forget to.. yeah , to jump! hehe
NOTE: Dont put it on status_bar_tracking.xml. Any customviews that i putted there was not clickable, I dont know why, only the close drag handle that was built-in. Any help/information on why we cant click on that layout is appreciated. Thank you

You can paste that anywhere you want to put it. Maybe you didnt decompile properly that's why you cant see the smali folder.

[Guide][Mod] Custom Text In Status Bar

Hey folks.
This is a small guide on "HOW TO ADD CUSTOM TEXT IN STATUS BAR" by editing your SystemUI.
I know some of you may know this but many users don't know about this and they are like asking about "HOW TO ADD CUSTOM TEXT IN STATUS BAR" again and again. So, people go for Xposed Modules. But they are battery drainers and not so compatible.
P.S.: If this is too difficult for you then post your systemui with your "text" below and I will do it for you when I'll get time.

android:textSize="14.0dip" -- Change 14.0 to whatever size you want.
android:textColor="#ffffffff" -- Change #ffffffff to whatever color you want.
Navigate to res/values/string
Add this Line at the end. (Screenshot Attached)
Code:
<string name="hello">Logan</string>
