[Q] help adding new pictures in SystemUI - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.
I have a slight problem. i have builded galaxy tab s 8.4 in a car and im adding volume buttons on navigation bar.
i have added both and tested them with original pictures which i taken from ic_sysbar_back_ime.png which is the original image when you want to close the keyboard. i have added this on volume down.
i have opened the same image in GIMP and only flipped it so its other way around and i saved it as ic_sysbar_back_imee.png (extra e on end) and in navigation bar i have changed it to android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_back_imee" .
i have compiled it using APKTools with cert's as usual and replaced the SystemUI but when i restart the device i get process systemui has stopped. i have tried to add another pictures before but always throw this when i add any picture to the drawable-xhdpi .
If i just edit the original image it works so its something with adding new pictures to the folder.
( maybe to make it more clear i have 5 buttons on my navigation bar one is back , volume down , volume up , home , recent app. all pictures are stock in folder drawable-xhdpi but volume down and volume up im currently using same picture for both and i want to add a new png to drawable-xhdpi and use it but if i add new picture it throws process error and black background with no status bar or nav bar)
can anyone help me out with this please.
Thank you

Hmm are you trying to theme some stuff? Typically, I dont recompile the apk after making the changes. For some reason, sometime it bootloops or crashes when using an modified systemui. Im not sure why. The only thing that seems to work for me is using the vrtheme.zip and add my modifed pictures and xmls in there. Then flash it to the device with twrp recovery. I ported a theme myself, but have some knowlege of how it goes. Theres a vrtheme base in the themes an apps section. So you can try that and add your own modifications. Thats all I know so.. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for a reply i cant find vrtheme base in there. do you have a copy i could use ?
take care

first of all,I really appreciate ur help guys and I can never thank u enough for ur help.
ok,I looked all over the XML file and can't find the exact line to edit,i thought its cuz im using a modified systemUI,so I decompiled the original systemUI and extracted tw_status_bar.xml from layout to compare but still can't find the exact line to edit.
I found one line only with the same color code u mentioned so I changed it and recompiled,replaced and fixed permissions then rebooted and the status bar disappeared ! so I replaced again in system/app and this time wiped both caches and still status bar wont show up ! so ofcorse I put back my original systemUI AND got it back
I've attached my systemUI so may be if any of u have some time u can look at it and have a play ! ??
I'm running stock jb 4.1.2 LSD AND its odexed

hmm not sure were you found SystemUI.apk your working off of but its a freaking mess.
It looks like you compiled it with a chainsaw , Missing Dex etc all kinds of bad error jungle when i decompiled....
Anyway I pulled xml from it , made edit and packed it into worthy SystemUI.apk for error free recompile.
I then pulled edited file from apk and gift wrapped it for you vrtheme install.

oh my
Your apk is a mess as seen in screen shot so it would only make sense for you status bar to disappear....heck you should be in boot loops.
And this is only half of errors displayed within apk.
Lets start over,
This thread / forum its not the place for it , In the future you would want to go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
For now get your creation working on device , extract working copy SystemUI.apk , send it to me in PM & I will make color edit to its status tw_status_bar.xml

i'm sure my SystemUI looked twice as bad after my FAILED attempt trying to get a transparent status bar background with white text.
I'm trying to do the same mod of changing the color of the battery percent, but when I open the XML file both on my phone and on my PC, it's almost all scrambled and unreadable. Is there a special encoding it needs to be opened with? I'm using a stock rooted deodexed ROM.

You can't just extract an app and open xml files. The app must be decompiled first, changes made, then recompiled. If you are a noob, I would suggest TickleMyAndroid as a starting place. There is a thread.

[Q] Where to find the status bar pattern in SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk

Hi guys, I'm looking for the status bar pattern in the SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk in order to change it into a full transparent white through ZipThemer (and finally have a transparent status bar in 4.2.2 stock :victory
But there's so many png in those files that I don't know which one I should use
Can you guys help me ?
Many thanks !

Next time, try Google search if you aren't comfortable with xda search.
Literally the first link when I searched for "status bar png systemUI.apk"
Please read the entire thread before you do anything. The instructions in the OP are flawed.

With the new roms this is not an option as it is no longer a png file file a combo of color codes thoughout the systemui and framework res. It took me 3 months to find all the changes to redirect it to a png

I'm not sure I understand your post. You mean I have to change .xml files to apply a transparent status bar ? That is not a problem with ZipThemer, right ?

What I mean depending on your rom is that you will have to adjust the color codes. Your issues is that the main place one of these changes needs to be made are in a place tat cant be adjusted with zip themer.

You would have to decompile the both Framework-res apk and the systemui.apk and make about 15 xml edits to redirect it to an image and then remove a few places. Then recompile the apks and then flash them. This would have to be done for each rom you flash.
What are you trying to do over all?

I agree that I have no idea why CM doesn't add this in their most recent ROM's, making the statusbar transparent is such an improvement to the UI immediately

[MOD][4.1.2][6.2.B.0.200][DEODEXED] Smaller On Screen Buttons

Today I will bring to you smaller on screen buttons to our Xperia S. As well as you know ,if you enable navigation bar by adding to build.prop the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" it will make you phone laggy. I modded some files and made the navigation bar much more smaller ,so it became more beautiful and the phone works very smooth ,without lags!
Note#1:
Tried only on 6.2.B.0.200 FW with niaboc79 "framework.jar" from his Honami's launcher port. So it's better to flash this port to get it work before using my mod. So that means that you must have a deodexed rom to apply my mod.
Note#2:
Before using this mod ,make a nandroid backup in CWM and also backup the files "SystemUI.apk" ,"framework-res.apk" & "framework.jar". I'm not responsible to any damage that will happen if you don't know how to use and install this mod.
Installation:
1. Download these 3 files:
framework-res.apk
framework.jar
SystemUI.apk
If you want transparent navigation bar & status bar download this zip
2. Copy them to your sdcard and with any file explorer move them manually to the folder "system".
3. Change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and move framework-res.apk + framework.jar to the folder system/framework. It will ask to overwrite these file ,click yes.
4. Change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and move SystemUI.apk to the folder system/app. It will ask to overwrite these file ,click yes.
5. Reboot you device into recovery and wipe cache partition + wipe dalvik cache.
6. If you want transparent UI ,move framework-res.apk + framework.jar to the folder system/framework ,reboot and flash the zip Transparent UI.
6. Done.
Known Bugs:
*Navigation bar overlap the camera buttons.
Status bar is transparent anywhere ,navigation bar only on home screen.
*Find and tell me
Screenshots(Big!):
Credits:
@niaboc79 for Honami's launcher port
@erorcun & @XperienceD for their guide compiling framework-res without bootloop
For me making this mod
Enjoy and give your feedback! This is my first mod
:good: Glad to see you got it sorted, and made a good contribution to this section. Copying and changing permissions gets tiresome when you've got a few files to install so this POST might be of interest to you.

the transparency is not full...there is a part that is not transparent, I can see it also on your screen shot...BTW I manage to remove the overlaping of the camera button to the OSB, and I didn't use your systemUI apk file...I just disabled the capacitive hardware keys and there it goes,,the OSB button automatically hides and show. here is a screen shot..I do not want to upload so I just attached it..take a look please..
BTW can you make it full transparent??Thanks a lot =)
The problem I encountered is that when changing the resolution of the camera to a aspect ratio of 4:3 there is a big black portion on the screen

[HELP][TESTING] Theming Sense 5

SO...with the release of the new Sense 5 Roms for our beloved One X I'm not seeing any themes (I know it's early).
I've had a go at porting a few over by decompiling the systemui.apk, updating the images and recompling as you used to with the original sense 4+ roms but keep losing my status bar!
I'm just starting small at the moment, changing wifi icon, battery, signal etc etc but then I'm going to move onto app icons. The venom themes are epic and it would be awesome to see a few on the sense 5 ui!
Wondering if the geniuses here can shed some light, I haven't found any tutorials or help guides as of yet, hopefully this will start as a decent pool of information,

which tool are you using?
if you are using apktool, have you copied META-INF folder , from the original APK, inside the new one? ( Old signature)
after pushing it to the device, have you set permissions? (rw-r-r--)
Cache and Dalvik-cache wiped ?

ooooo didn't think about the META-INF...I'll give it a shot in the morning.
All the other steps i've done, multiple times. It's as if the systemui.apk doesn't apply during boot so maybe it is the meta file!
And I'm using apktool to decompile...recently found it better that going through the hassle of virtuous 10 suite

yep, apktool doesn't sign the apk, so you need to keep the old signature
Signing systemui.apk is not necessary. I tested many times.
To change pngs(especially patch9 pngs), just copy and paste to the apk with 7-zip if apktool get error or SystemUI FCs.
P.S. Please use the most original apk to modify if it's failed in previous build.

Not bothering with patch9s I hate those things!
For some reason everytime I push a new
SystemUI.apk to my phone, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik (for good measure) it won't apply so I lose the status bar and background etc. Essentially no system ui applies!
It's a pickle, im on ARHD at the moment so will have a go at decompiling! And try again
Funny thing is, someone made a made mod on here already for 1% battery, and even installing that doesn't work!...I'll keep tinkering

unfortunately for me is the same.
i'm trying to add a new item to settings.apk (SuperUser), i have edited all required xmls, added png, recompiled than signed, but no way to make it work.
i have also tried with zipsigner app using platform keys, but no result.. Settings won't show
Success (well a little)
Soooo....I've managed to mod the battery!
I'm going for a sort of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon 80's style eventually, but this is the first step! Now for the wifi/signal etc. etc.
So this is what I did...
Got an existing circle battery mod with the same naming convention (since I can't be bothered to rename 100 files )
Recoloured them all in photoshop and increased the pixels size to 50 x 50
Deleted the battery icons in the existing SystemUI.apk via 7zip
Added the modified battery icons to the apk
Then pushed to the phone via adb
It automatically rebooted and viola! I may run 'fixed permissions' from recovery to be safe and wipe cache/dalvik to make sure but it's looking good!

hey guys, if you are only changing icons, you don't need to decompile just swap the images by throwing the img in the .apk with ex(7zip) you only need to decompile with xml files and such and if you need a .9 img use the dot9 patcher in sdk then use this" https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74861217/draw9compiler.zip " to compile it before throwing it in the .apk. to use the compiler throw the .9 patched img into example1 then run the prog at main folder then look in done for compiled img

Yep already doing this mate, it's way easier than decompiling and recompiling.
Thanks for the input though!
Little more progress...
Managed to get all the status bar icons themed! I consider that great progress at the moment!:laugh:

Almost there...
I'm pretty much there with what I want to do now, status bar sorted (don't know about the clock color yet) also went ahead and did the nav bar icons or prism icon as they call it, and change the home nav bar background to transparent to declutter it a bit.
I'll upload my systemui and prism files once I'm finished so anyone can have a go.
When the Viper team decide to throw a sense 5 rom out the tweaks are going to make everything soooooo much simpler! :good:

2. white (Kitkat style) icons in status bar,
3. lollipop style navigation bar!
I've made this mod on myself, but the idea was for antonio.talamo(thank you)
----------Requirements:
1. Optimus G 4.1.2 - 4.4.2 stock Rom (may work on stock based custom roms)
2. Root access & nothing more.
3. MUST work on both odexed & deodexed roms...
Nothing is going to be wrong BUT ALWAYS HAVING A BACKUP(copy of original system ui.apk) is absolutely necessary!
------------Instrutions:
Flash the appropriate flashable zip through recovery or:
1. You must have a file manager for editing LGSystemUI.apk, X-PLORE file manager is always highly recommended:
2. Download the appropriate zip from attachments, open the customization folder, open res, open drawable-xhdpi & select all those pics & copy(replace) them with the original files in LGSystemUI.apk in the same folder & directory.
3. Replace your new LGSystemUI.apk with the original one in system/app(4.1.2) or system/priv-app(4.4.2)
4. You MUST always restart your phone to get the right result! Force closes before restarting are usual! You've replaced a running app, right? Hold power button 10 secs if force closes are too fast.
-------------------Done! Enjoy!:angel:
It WILL work on jellybean(tested) & kitkat(tested)!
I've tried to fix all the issues that have been reported, so it must be perfect now!
I haven't test the kitkat mod by myself, so If there are any bugs in kitkat, please report it!
Flashable zips are here! But please test them & report the result,they must work!
------------------editing apk files with X-plore file manager:
hold on an apk file & select "open APK as ZIP" & then you can modify APKs easily
-----------Enabling the Navigation Bar(recommended):
First I must say there's an app doing the job perfectly named gravity box!(also it has expanded mode to hide navbar to use default camera app, but I rather using these two methods which WORKS PERFECTLY ON JELLYBEAN(tested), BUT ON KITKAT, MIGHT CAUSE BOOTLOOP!NOT TESTED, while I say it won't cause!do it on your own responsibility!, but the gravity box method works good):
1. If you want to enable navbar in Optimus G or any other devices, Download build.prop editor (android app) & after making backup with the app, insert qemu.hw.mainkeys & set its value 0. RESTART
2. Or you can go with x-plore to system/ (& backup build.prop somewhere), then open it & copy qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to end of the texts.insert an empty line before it so that it works. RESTART
3. for disabling the navbar, simply restore the build.prop backup or delete that line.
----------how this mod works?
this mod will replace only some pictures in systemui, so every time you want the original notification, you can restore your original SystemUI.
If you don't like a change, easily delete its picture from mod folder & copy pics again to the original copy of LGSystemUI.apk.
!! remember to have the original LGSystemUI.apk file somewhere safe !!
Some good Tricks:
If you want to hide the Qslide, try geemod, which is an Xposed module & can hide whatever you want in notification panel & some other tweaks.
If you want to have changeable status bar & navbar colors same as action bar(flat style like my screenshot, you can use FlatStyleColoredBars! Even on 4.1 like myself. All the credits goes to ibocharov, that's a great module & worthy to buy the pro if you like!
BUT IT'S ONLY FOR 4.3+! BUT NO PROBLEM, install Xinstaller Xposed module & disable checking sdk version & it will be installed & will work on 4.1 jellybean perfectly!
NOTE: use the 0.63 or lower versions of flatstylecoloredbars on jellybean, the newer versions cause serious force closes! If you've already faced the problem, use Xposed recovery mode:
Restart the phone,once you see boot animation, press volume down four times or more!
That's how I solved the problem on my (locked bootloader-no custom recovery) device!
The 0.63 version that I've already been using, is perfect for jellybean, I've attached it(edited,works with 4.1 without other modules )
By installing gravity box, you can enable & edit & hide(with shortcut of expanded mode) navbar when you want easily(e.g. when using default camera app or watching movies)!

Hi! There seems to be a bug in the 4.4.2 version. I'm not able to make the notification panel background transparent, it looks black instead. Can you take a look, please? Thank you so much for this mod!

Thank you for reporting the issue,
I've Tried to fix it, reply the result.
The fix has messed up a bit the UI haha. Now the top bar seems to be lacking some kind of height/margin/padding. But no problem, mate, I can keep testing until we get the desired result [emoji6]

since I'm not on 4.4.2,
First rename one of the files of my 4.4.2 fix to status_bar_carrier_label_bg.9.png & REPLACE it with the same one in "drawable",(not drawable-xhdpi),reboot.
EDIT: I've updated the OP, try that and reply the result
Sorry, I couldn't reply sooner! I'd tried all the previous fixes without any luck (with a clean LGSystemUI.apk, clearing the caches, etc). But now, with the latest upload, it's working like a charm!! Thanks for your hard work, mate [emoji16][emoji16]
PS: The background color is no longer transparent, but doesn't matter, I like it black too!
Can you make status bar color black and no AM/PM for stock 4.4.2?

I'm not changing codes, hiding AM/PM is such a thing
But I guess I'm able to change status bar bg black.Like what I did to make 4.1 status bar transparent.
Copy the attached png to your drawable-xhdpi to make status bar bg black.

delete notification_panel_bg.9.png From mod drawable-xhdpi & then replace the mod folder with your original system ui files, (not the current edited system ui!)
Problem must be solved,
That's easy bro,
I'm making a holo green bg for notification panel, so I need this result, I'm waiting...
Edit: I've uploaded the holo green mod & if it doesn't have quicksetting black problem, the transparency should be fine, please attach the ss with enabled Qslides bar, I hope it work
Whoa... Man, you rock! Both themes are looking so nice now. Hoping the screenshots can convince more people to use them [emoji2]
Main mod:
Holo green:

I'm happy that worked & you like it
There's one more thing to do. Latest try to make the full transparent mod work,
Please attach the ss with enabled qslide! This is for examination of qsilde bg! Also I want to see the notification bg is now more transparent or not(double try In one mod! I guess it won't work :-/)

Wait a minute! What's wrong with Qslide button?
Fixed! Updated :-/ !
Can you make the backgrounds of the clock and date, toggles, notifications and the carrier name black? Instead of g3 icons. Stock 4.4.2 E975. I hope you'll grant my request if you can. Thanks.

You're alright, seems to be something wrong with the QSlide button. After the update it is even more small:
