[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_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:
CHANGE TO:
Code:
<string name="status_bar_settings_wifi_button"></string>
<string name="status_bar_settings_airplane"></string>
<string name="status_bar_settings_auto_rotation"></string>
<string name="status_bar_settings_mute_label"></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:
Code:
<string name="done">Done</string>
<string name="edit">Edit</string>
AKA at the bottom of the file.
ADD AFTER:
Code:
<string name="custom_carrier">INSERT_CUSTOM_CARRIER_LABEL_HERE</string>
Add what you want where it says "INSERT_CUSTOM_CARRIER_LABEL_HERE"
Save & Close.
Navigate to /res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and open with editor
If you haven't removed the carrier label already:
LOOK FOR:
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" />
REPLACE WITH:
Code:
<TextView 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:text="@string/custom_carrier" android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
If you have removed the carrier label:

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.

I am on Verizon too. I removed the wifi notification, but decided to put it back until there is a proper toggle. Can you make a flashable zip to make the toggles like the first post?
Thanks

Sure will, Will be posting it up in the second post

Thanks for the thread.
I downloaded NinjaMorph Free and when viewing the xml files it seems, encrypted, a bunch of "?" and gibberish show. Is there a certain xml editor I'm suppose to use? Thanks for the help.

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

How / what to do ?
don't worry
Requirements
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. A small thinking brain
2. To run this environment u need to have java jdk installed here u can get them click here
3. Apktools ( click here for the apktools (works only for upgraded versions of cm7 and low graded phones only ) )
3. A rooted android
4. settings.apk and framework-res.apk ( framework-res.apk should be related to same rom where the settings.apk is collected )
5. notepad++ ( click here )
6. Last but not least... follow up my instructions carefully
So let us make our hands dirt with moding
Collect the apktools i given above extract them to any folder you needed
copy the framework-res.apk and settings.apk ( which you are going to mod ) and paste them to the extracted folder of apktools
Now the framework should be added to work as key
click on cmd i given it with tools
and apply this code
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Fine now you have to decompile the settings.apk
Apply this code to decompile the apk
Code:
apktool d Settings.apk
Now you will get a folder named Settings where it contains decompiled files
From here you should be careful to mod them
Download this scrips which are moded by me with minute changes click here
Extract the scripts folder and copy the files i given.....
Enter into Settings folder ( where the settings apk decompiled folder )->smali->com->android->settings at that location merge / replace with my scripts
Now the second main step need to modify value statements and xml ( settings )
1. First we go for values edit and then to xml
values :--- settings folder ( where decompiled ) -> res -> values.. there open strings.xml file with notepad++
and at the ending / bottom of the string it looks like this
Code:
Failure to connect is likely."</string>
<string name="lockfinger_enrollment_failure_default_toast">Enroll Not Successful. failure = %d.</string>
<string name="lockfinger_enrollment_database_full">Enroll Not Successful. Database is full.</string>
<string name="lockfinger_dbadmin_failure_default_toast">Database Administration operation failure: %d.</string>
<string name="lockfinger_ui_timeout_header">UI timeout!</string>
<string name="lockfinger_too_many_bad_swipes_header">Too many bad swipes!</string>
<string name="lockfinger_lockout_countdown_footer">Try again in %d seconds.</string>
</resources>
so here add this lines at the bottom / ending
Code:
<string name="xloud_strings_xloud_txt">xLOUD™</string>
<string name="xloud_strings_xloud_desc_txt">Enhance the loudness of speaker</string>
<string name="swiqi_strings_swiqi_txt">Mobile BRAVIA Engine</string>
<string name="swiqi_strings_swiqi_desc_txt">Image quality enhancer for photos and videos</string>
So finally it looks like this
Code:
Failure to connect is likely."</string>
<string name="lockfinger_enrollment_failure_default_toast">Enroll Not Successful. failure = %d.</string>
<string name="lockfinger_enrollment_database_full">Enroll Not Successful. Database is full.</string>
<string name="lockfinger_dbadmin_failure_default_toast">Database Administration operation failure: %d.</string>
<string name="lockfinger_ui_timeout_header">UI timeout!</string>
<string name="lockfinger_too_many_bad_swipes_header">Too many bad swipes!</string>
<string name="lockfinger_lockout_countdown_footer">Try again in %d seconds.</string>
<string name="xloud_strings_xloud_txt">xLOUD™</string>
<string name="xloud_strings_xloud_desc_txt">Enhance the loudness of speaker</string>
<string name="swiqi_strings_swiqi_txt">Mobile BRAVIA Engine</string>
<string name="swiqi_strings_swiqi_desc_txt">Image quality enhancer for photos and videos</string>
</resources>
So save them and close it now almost 70 % completed
2. editing xml ( The final thing )
settings folder ( where it was extracted )-> res -> xml.... there open display_settings with notepad++
this is how it looks
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/display_settings"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:settings="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.settings">
<com.android.settings.BrightnessPreference android:title="@string/brightness" android:key="brightness" android:dialogTitle="@string/brightness" />
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/accelerometer_title" android:key="accelerometer" />
<ListPreference android:persistent="false" android:entries="@array/animations_entries" android:title="@string/animations_title" android:key="animations" android:entryValues="@array/animations_values" />
<ListPreference android:persistent="false" android:entries="@array/screen_timeout_entries" android:title="@string/screen_timeout" android:key="screen_timeout" android:summary="@string/screen_timeout_summary" android:entryValues="@array/screen_timeout_values" />
</PreferenceScreen>
and add this code below the xmlns:settings="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.settings">
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/swiqi_strings_swiqi_txt" android:key="swiqi_strings_swiqi_txt" android:summary="@string/swiqi_strings_swiqi_desc_txt" />
this is how it looks
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/display_settings"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:settings="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.settings">
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/swiqi_strings_swiqi_txt" android:key="swiqi_strings_swiqi_txt" android:summary="@string/swiqi_strings_swiqi_desc_txt" />
<com.android.settings.BrightnessPreference android:title="@string/brightness" android:key="brightness" android:dialogTitle="@string/brightness" />
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/accelerometer_title" android:key="accelerometer" />
<ListPreference android:persistent="false" android:entries="@array/animations_entries" android:title="@string/animations_title" android:key="animations" android:entryValues="@array/animations_values" />
<ListPreference android:persistent="false" android:entries="@array/screen_timeout_entries" android:title="@string/screen_timeout" android:key="screen_timeout" android:summary="@string/screen_timeout_summary" android:entryValues="@array/screen_timeout_values" />
</PreferenceScreen>
and the same should be done with sound_settings ( open it with notepad++ ) at same location of xml folder
copy this code and add this below this line <PreferenceCategory android:title="@string/sound_category_sound_title" />
Code:
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/xloud_strings_xloud_txt" android:key="xloud" android:summary="@string/xloud_strings_xloud_desc_txt" android:disableDependentsState="true" />
so it looks like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/sound_settings" android:key="sound_settings"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<CheckBoxPreference android:title="@string/xloud_strings_xloud_txt" android:key="xloud" android:summary="@string/xloud_strings_xloud_desc_txt" android:disableDependentsState="true" />
<CheckBoxPreference android:persistent="false" android:title="@string/silent_mode_title" android:key="silent" android:summary="@string/silent_mode_summary" android:disableDependentsState="true" />

the final thing is that your edits are done and need to compile this
open cmd and apply this code to compile the apk that you moded
Code:
apktool b Settings
Note;
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should be compiled without any errors ( if you face errors report me i will try to solve it )
Now your edit is finally finished
after finished you will get new folders with in the Settings folder named build open it and open apk folder
open Settings.apk ( before edit ) using winrar or winzip replace the classes.dex, resources.arsc ( from build -> apk folder ) and the same replace xml files of display_settings, sound_settings
now your settings with xloud and bravia is ready to apply
The question is how to apply i can give a very small tut which is not long like this and it is very short
create a folder named system and with in system folder create new folder named app and place your moded app there and download this click here
extract it and place near by system folder... now select the two folder ( meta-inf and system ) and make a zip file... or using root explorer replace the settings.apk and change the permissions ......
now finished yahoo
How these works.... these are having depend files that should be added... if not volume dont work when you increase at settings option ( works perfect when incoming call and song plays )
Download this depend files click here.... copy this to sd card.. reboot into recovery and flash this patch
The final work is too add two line about xloud and bravia with build.prop
using rootexplorer open build.prop and add these lines at the bottom
the lines are
Code:
# BRAVIA HACK
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1
# Xloud Engine
ro.semc.sound_effects_enabled=true
ro.semc.xloud.supported=true
persist.service.xloud.enable=1
save them and reboot
Now your work is done as well my work on making tut
Have a joy

[How-to] Edit the "About Phone" display

Code:
I am not responsible for your device, please consider before doing this!
Hello all, I'm new to xda-developers and do "almost" nothing recently due to the low-level of dev.
Now I want to share the way you can edit the "About Phone" tab in "Settings"
I'm just tested with my Xperia SL (ROM XZXperience_1) (it SHOULD work with another phone )
Screen Shot:
{
"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"
}
Now what you need:
1. A Rooted Phone (Xperia S, SL prefered) and Root Explorer
2. Your free time (5 - 10 min.)
That's all!
Instructions:
Step 1: BACKUP YOUR PHONE! IT SHOULD WORK NORMALLY, BUT IN CASE OF SOMETHING HAPPEN, I CAN'T GUARANTEE ABOUT THAT
Step 2: Open the Root Explorer, go to system and open the "build.prop" with notepad
Step 3: Under the ############ Updating of the SW Version ##############
Find
1.
Code:
ro.product.model=
this will change the display of "Model number"
2.
Code:
ro.build.version.release=
this will change the display of "Android version"
3.
Code:
ro.build.display.id=
this will change the display of "Build number"
Step 4: Save & Reboot Your Phone
Step 5: Check in "About Phone"
I'm not good at English, so please feel free to fix
Nhưng tiếng việt thì thoải mái nhé
