[Q] Help in Modding/Theming

Hi,
Is there any one who can help me in modding and theming?
I asked this question from some Modders but I didn't get any answer
I just wanna Modify settings.apk, for example I add some menu/options to settings menu. Such as usb tether.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Is there anyone help me?

first you need to add
HTML:
<string name="usboptions">usb tether</string>
a string file in strings.xml
then you need to do something like this :
for example i used an app called usb tether
and the packagename of it is com.usb.tether
HTML:
<com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen android:title="@string/usboptions" settings:icon="@drawable/usbtethericon">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.usb.usbtether" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.usb.usbtether.MainActivity" />
</com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>
add that to settings.xml
then i need to add an icon called usbtethericon in drawable-mdpi
and then compile
and done

[TEAM XPOSED][HOW-TO]7/18/12 SystemUI mods and how-tos (new: custom notif background)

This thread will be about various SystemUI modifications and how to achieve them. The first post will be full of screenshots and my personal mods and the second post will be the how-tos.
First of all, here is my modified SystemUI in its current form. It has been modded to do the following:
Blue ICS icons
Blue style quick toggle icons
Blue notification shade bottom from ICS
Remove clock
Remove carrier ID
Remove quick toggle text
Upcoming mods to it will be:
Battery precentages
Charging battery animations
1x display
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

HOW-TO
7/18/12: Custom notification pulldown background:
First, we're going to use a file that already exists in SystemUI that isn't being used by the system, so that we don't have to create IDs and anything else too difficult. Create your custom background and save it as a png. Yes, it also supports transparency right off the bat! Once you have your custom background selected, name it "status_bar_expand_default.png" and put it in the drawable-xhdpi folder in /res/drawable-xhdpi/ overwriting the current one.
Now navigate to /res/layout/tw_status_bar_tracking.xml and open it with editor
LOOK FOR:
Code:
<FrameLayout android:background="#ff000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
CHANGE
Code:
android:background="#ff000000"
TO:
Code:
android:background="@drawable/status_bar_expand_default"
Save & Close
Compile, push to /system/app/ and change permissions to 644 and reboot or create flashable zip to flash in recovery.
7/17/12: Remove battery full notification:
Navigate to /com/android/systemui/power/PowerUI$1.smali
LOOK FOR:
Code:
iget v14, v14, Lcom/android/systemui/power/PowerUI;->mBatteryStatus:I
if-ne v13, v14, :cond_1b3
move-object/from16 v0, p0
iget-object v13, v0, Lcom/android/systemui/power/PowerUI$1;->this$0:Lcom/android/systemui/power/PowerUI;
invoke-virtual {v13}, Lcom/android/systemui/power/PowerUI;->notifyFullBatteryNotification()V
:cond_da
:goto_da
const/4 v13, 0x4
REMOVE:
Code:
invoke-virtual {v13}, Lcom/android/systemui/power/PowerUI;->notifyFullBatteryNotification()V
Save & Close
Compile, push to /system/app/ and change permissions to 644 and reboot or create flashable zip to flash in recovery.
How to decompile troublesome ICS apks on the GS3:
Start off by downloading the package I put together with APKTOOL v1.4.2 and v1.4.4: here
You also need to have Java installed, and WinRAR or a comparable archive manager installed.
Extract it and navigate there with a command prompt
Grab your framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your ROM or ADB on your phone and place them in the same directory as your apktools
Open SystemUI with WinRAR or your archive manager and extract the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file and put them somewhere easy to find.
In command prompt type this command "apktool if framework-res.apk" and if done correct, you will have installed a dependency for whatever you're about to decompile.
The trick is to decompile with 1.4.2 which is named apktool142.jar, so rename that to apktool.jar
Now you're ready to decompile SystemUI. Type this command "apktool d SystemUI.apk" and if done correctly it will start the decompiling process and eventually finish with a new folder "SystemUI" being created.
Now you can make all of your edits.
The next trick is to recompile with 1.4.4 which is named apktool144.jar, but first rename your current apktool.jar back to apktool142.jar then rename apktool144.jar to apktool.jar.
Once done, recompile your SystemUI file by typing "apktool b SystemUI"
Once done, copy the folder and file from earlier "META-INF" and "AndroidManifest.xml" then open the "SystemUI" folder then open "build" then "apk" and paste them here, which will overwrite the current AndroidManifest.xml and create the META-INF folder in there.
Now type "apktool b SystemUI" again and this time it will build much faster than before. Once done your file is ready to be tested!
Open the "SystemUI" folder, go into "dist" and voila, your file is there, signed, and ready to be pushed back to your phone.
Go ahead and push it back with ADB, or with Root Explorer, OR create yourself a flashable zip. Whatever works for you.
Enjoy.
How to remove Quick settings toggle text or hide Quick Settinsg toggle:
I have seen inquiries about how to mod the quick toggle area to remove it. It's a fairly easy modification to make. Especially if you already know how to decompile and recompile SystemUI.apk
For the sake of making this HOW-TO short and to the point, I'm going to assume you already know how to successfully decompile and recompile SystemUI.apk. If you don't, I will be posting up another HOW-TO with all the necessary tools.
Let me first start out by apologizing because this is kind of sloppy. It may require less steps but once I got it, I didn't bother going back to figure out if it did require less steps or not.
Start off by decompiling SystemUI.apk
Next, navigate to /res/layout/tw_quick_setting_button.xml
Open it with your favorite editor
LOOK FOR:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:focusable="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/quick_setting_button_height">
CHANGE:
Code:
android:layout_height="@dimen/quick_setting_button_height"
For complete removal of quick toggle settings:
TO:
Code:
android:layout_height="0.0dip"
For text removal like my mod:
TO
Code:
android:layout_height="50.0dip"
LOOK FOR:
Code:
<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/quick_setting_button_text_size" android:textColor="#ff9eb2c3" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/btn_text" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/quick_setting_button_text_height" android:includeFontPadding="false" android:shadowColor="#ff000000" android:shadowDx="1.0" android:shadowDy="1.0" android:shadowRadius="2.0" />
CHANGE:
Code:
android:textSize="@dimen/quick_setting_button_text_size"
For complete or text removal:
TO:
Code:
android:textSize="0.0dip"
Save & close
Navigate to /res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and open with editor
LOOK FOR:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.quicksetting.QuickSettingPanel android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/quicksetting_container" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:divider="@drawable/tw_black_bg" android:showDividers="middle" />
CHANGE:
Code:
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
For complete removal:
TO:
Code:
android:layout_height="0.0dip"
For text removal like my mod:
TO:
Code:
android:layout_height="50.0dip"
If you want to remove the carrier ID (Sprint):
LOOK FOR and REMOVE:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.CarrierLabel android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_plmn_text_size" android:textColor="#ffd7d7d7" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:paddingLeft="11.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/date" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
Save & close
These next parts probably aren't needed but I did them anyway. If you want to try compiling and using your SystemUI.apk, go for it and report back. If you want to follow exactly what I did, keep reading..
Navigate to /res/layout/tw_status_bar_toggle_slider.xml and open with editor
LOOK FOR:
Code:
<TextView android:textSize="15.0dip" android:textColor="#ffd7d7d7" android:id="@id/label" android:layout_width="46.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:singleLine="false" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
CHANGE:
Code:
android:textSize="15.0dip"
For complete or text removal
TO:
Code:
android:textSize="0.0dip"
Save & Close
Navigate to /res/values/dimens.xml and open with editor
LOOK FOR:
Code:
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_text_height">30.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_text_size">13.0dip</dimen>
For complete or text removal:
CHANGE TO:
Code:
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_text_height">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="quick_setting_button_text_size">0.0dip</dimen>
Save & Close
Finally, navigate to /res/values/strings.xml and open with editor
LOOK FOR:
Code:
<string name="status_bar_settings_wifi_button">Wi-Fi</string>
<string name="status_bar_settings_airplane">Airplane mode</string>
<string name="status_bar_settings_auto_rotation">Auto-rotate screen</string>
<string name="status_bar_settings_mute_label">MUTE</string>
For complete or text removal:

<string name="status_bar_settings_airplane"></string>
<string name="status_bar_settings_auto_rotation"></string>

Code:
<string name="quickpanel_data_roaming_text">"Data

For complete or text removal:
CHANGE TO:
Code:
<string name="quickpanel_data_roaming_text"></string>
Save & Close
Compile, push to /system/app/ and change permissions to 644 and reboot or create flashable zip to flash in recovery.
Now, a lot of these could have simply been removed from the XML, but I decided to mod their values to preserve structure in case I want to put things back the way they were. If you want to experiment with removing the entire "LOOK FOR:" line, please report back the results.
Enjoy.
How to change carrier label:
Navigate to /res/values/strings.xml and open with editor
LOOK FOR:

You can get shutter sound controls without any modifications to sound. I don't know why it's labeled as silent camera if you can get shutter sounds without modding anything.

No problem. I think your problem is because you have to decompile the apk first, or the xmls will be encrypted.

[GUIDE] [MOD] [LP/MM] [UPDATE :- 27.04.2016] How To Add Power Button To Lock Screen

Hello friends
Here is my latest simple tutorial for adding a power button in lock screen. With this you can acces ur power menu through Lock Screen.. Here you go ...
Things Needed :-
Latest Apktool
Notepad ++
PC
Deodexed SystemUI ( LP/MM )
Decompile SystemUI.apk
1) Go to res / values / ids.xml and add this line to last
<item type="id" name="lock">false</item>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save it and close
2) Go to res / values / string.xml and add this line to last
<string name="accessibility_lock">Lock</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save it and close
3) Go to res / layout / keyguard_bottom_area.xml and add this line before the last line
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/lock" android:layout_width="@dimen/keyguard_affordance_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/keyguard_affordance_height" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_lock" android:scaleType="center" android:tint="#ffffffff" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_lock" systemui:keyCode="26" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So it should be like this
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:layout_gravity="bottom|center" android:id="@id/lock" android:layout_width="@dimen/keyguard_affordance_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/keyguard_affordance_height" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_lock" android:scaleType="center" android:tint="#ffffffff" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_lock" systemui:keyCode="26" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.KeyguardBottomAreaView>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save it and close
4) Move the attached png to res / drawable-hdpi-v4 or drawable-hdpi ( HERE )
Thats it. Done..
Recompile SystemUI and replace it by yours and enjoy...

Final
Continuation
10. open settings.apk/res/xml/dashboard_categories.xml
add this Any where you like ( i had added under personal header setting )
If under Personal Header then follow this
Find this
Code:
<dashboard-category android:id="@+id/personal_section" android:title="@string/header_category_personal" android:key="@string/category_key_personal">
Below that add this
Code:
<dashboard-tile android:id="@+id/kryp_control" android:title="Kryptonian Menu" android:fragment="com.android.settings.kryp.krypton" />
If you want to add any logo then add this ( Example ) android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_krypton"
it look like this
Code:
<dashboard-tile [COLOR="red"]android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_krypton"[/COLOR] android:id="@+id/kryp_control" android:title="Kryptonian Menu" android:fragment="com.android.settings.kryp.krypton" />
and then place the icon in drawable folder in name of ic_settings_krypton and done...!
Now compile and Decompile ... now open
Settings.apk\smali\com\android\settings\kryp\krypton.smali
in that change the public id
Code:
<public type="xml" name="[COLOR="red"]krypton_settings[/COLOR]" id="[COLOR="red"]0x7f080089[/COLOR]" />
Done....!
Compile and Replace with your settings and test
And how this works will be explained in next post
Done Forget to mention me if you use my work

Adding more Preference xml layouts
Apologize for my explanation
The Krypton.smali is linked with krypton_settings.xml where it acts as Dashboard Header over settings part
example.smali is a preferenceScreen Fragments which is linked to kryp_example.xml
So handlerpreferences can be run trough the example.smali fragment
How to add more Preference settings in krypton Dashboard preference
1. copy the example.smali and paste in it with different name like.. displaysettings.smali
2. Open that displaysetting.smali and replace all example to displaysettings
3. the same way create a xml ( kryp_example / kryp_displaysettings )
4. Now in displaysetting.smali change kryp_example to kryp_displaysettings and save
and in krypton_settings.xml add this
add this
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:id="@+id/example_control" android:title="Basic" android:summary="example of basic pref" android:fragment="com.android.settings.kryp.settings.[COLOR="Red"]displaysettings[/COLOR] " />
So in this Way you can add as many you like to have
How Preferences Work:-
Here The Complete mod work on Key preferences
android:key
android:title = write your title
android:defaultValue = it can be "true" (on) "false" (off) / "1" (on) "0" (off) by default
android:summary = summary msg never change on action.. static msg shown
android:summaryOn = summary msg below shown when status is enabled
android:summaryOff = summary msg below shown when status is disabled
android:icon="@null" will show no icon , if its android:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_krypton" then add an icon in drawable in name of ic_settings_krypton.
android:max="24" will end max to 24 from 1
android:min="2" will start from 1 till max given
unitsRight="" units may be dp/ dip / sec Right meant will Show on right side of seek bar pref
unitsLeft="" units may be dp/ dip / sec Right meant will Show on left side of seek bar pref
Switch preference
Code:
<SwitchPreference android:title="Title" android:key="[COLOR="Red"]Main_key[/COLOR]" android:defaultValue="[COLOR="red"]true[/COLOR]" android:summaryOn="Shown" android:summaryOff="Hidden" />
CheckBox Preference
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="Title" android:key="[COLOR="Red"]Main_key[/COLOR]" android:defaultValue="false" android:summaryOn="Shown" android:summaryOff="Hidden" />
SeekBar Preference
Code:
<com.android.settings.kryp.settings.prefs.SeekBarPreference android:max="24" android:title="Title" android:key="[COLOR="Red"]Main_key[/COLOR]" android:defaultValue="1" min="1" unitsRight="" />
ListPreferences
Code:
<com.android.settings.kryp.settings.prefs.MyListPreference android:entries="@array/entries" android:title="Title" android:key="[COLOR="Red"]Main_key[/COLOR]" android:defaultValue="8" android:dialogTitle="Dialog title" android:entryValues="@array/values" />
ColorPreferences color Hex code ff737373 change as you need
Code:
<com.android.settings.kryp.settings.prefs.ColorPickerPreference android:title="Title" android:key="[COLOR="Red"]Main_key[/COLOR]" android:defaultValue="\#ff737373" alphaSlider="true" />
EditText Preferences
Code:
<com.android.settings.kryp.settings.prefs..MyEditTextPreference android:defaultValue="simpletext" android:key="[COLOR="Red"]Main_key[/COLOR]" android:title="Title" />

@Hamidreza2010
What Venkat is saying is you need to add new tile on the android-manifest.xml file
it is the project manifest file for any standard android app.
Decompiling an apk would also decompile the manifest file in plain english.
you can look at the file with notepad++ and see that there are many activities and permissions and other primitive android class's objects are being manifested so that the delvik VM can know which class can run their objects and which cant.
Maybe a new tile needs to be mentioned [initialized] there somehow to add it 
 @venkat kamesh can explain the rest i think

@venkat kamesh PLEASE UPDATE FIRST PAGE
