[MOD][ICS][XPOSED] Tweakbox: no-flashing tweaks collection (1.4.0)(23.01.2013)

Maybe you have read about my project called "Xposed", maybe not. In short, it is a framework that can be used to create modifications without touching the APKs, which in turn means that nothing needs to be flashed.
Tweakbox was the first module for Xposed and developed for a 4.0.3 stock ROM for of the Galaxy S2. While Xposed works with many different devices and ROMs, quite a few (or many?) of the tweaks below assume certain existing code in the ROM which can be patched and used. As a consequence, they might work or might not work for you. Especially if you have a non-Samsung phone, only few of the tweaks will work. It depends on your exact ROM what will work, I can't tell you because I don't have your ROM.
Please also note: I'm no longer using Tweakbox after my switch to CM10.1. Therefore this module is no longer actively maintained. You can try if it works for you, but it's unlikely that more features or support for more devices will be added. Patches are still welcome. So please don't be upset if it doesn't work for you - I had planned to remove it, but why should I if still lots of people are using it?
Now to the list of implemented tweaks:
Statusbar
Number of bars for signal strength indicator
Background color. Looks weird actually because most apps aren't made for this.
Clock color
Toggle "switch input method" notification while typing text
[*]CRT (see below for requirements - will probably not work for you)
CRT off effect
CRT on effect
CRT landscape detection
Battery
Levels for critical/low battery warning
Disable Samsung's "100% charged, unplug me now" notification
Phone
Vibrate on Call Wait
Increasing Ringer Volume
Call Recording (see below for requirements - will probably not work for you)
Built-in SIP
Miscellaneous
Don't turn on the screen when unplugging from USB/AC
Choose long HOME key behaviour (do nothing, classical/icon-only, new/thumbnails). Just sets a switch, the implementation has to exist in the ROM.
Skip tracks with a long press on the volume up/down key, ported from here (only when screen is off)
[*]Experimental
Fake 240 DPI for Play Store
The colors can be picked with an extended version of the color picker made by [email protected] This gives you the chance to select any RGB color plus the transparency - steplessly!
Requirements for CRT / call recording:
The CRT effect requires that /system/lib/libsurfaceflinger.so is prepared for this effect. Many phones produce flickering for the CRT off effect. The CRT on effect and rotation awareness is isn't included in the normal library.
Patching the library is much work and unfortunately the library cannot be transferred to other ROMs or phones in most cases.
If you have a stock-based ROM for your I9100, you can push the library from the attached zip to /system/lib at your own risk (if you don't know how to undo it if you get a bootloop, don't do it).
For the I9300, the library can be found here.
For other phones/ROMs/versions: Sorry, I'm not planning to patch more libraries.
Call recording will probably only work on I9100 ICS Stock and only if you have the libraries install from this post. Same game: Know what you're doing or don't do it. I don't know where these libraries originally came from, so I can't provide them for other ROMs.
You might also try this module, I believe it only works on Samsungs's JB ROMs though.
Changelog:
1.0: Initial version [126 downloads]
1.1: Fixed signal strength bars, added color picker for status bar background color (replacing the list) and clock color (added in this version) [543 downloads]
1.2: Some intermediate release, only some betas published
1.3: Lots of new things [3676 downloads]:
- Toggle "switch input method" notification while typing text
- CRT off (no flickering)/CRT on/landscape awareness for SGS2 (tested) and SGS3 (waiting for your feedback). Also triggers the CRT effect if the ROM doesn't (should fix SGS3).
- Phone tweaks: Vibrate on Call Wait, Increasing Ringer Volume, Call Recording, Built-in SIP
- (experimental) Play Store fix for non-standard densities
1.3.1: Compatibility with framework version 2.0
1.3.2: Minor changes for Xposed 2.1
1.4.0: Clock color tweak should now work for more ROMs. Removed (not working) market fix and hidden per-app DPI settings
Installation: See the first post in the Xposed framework thread. You need the framework AND the attached module.
Source code: at GitHub.
Credits to Tungstwenty for all the support and his many contributions, the CM9 project for the long press volume key mod, el_liberator for a hint about the statusbar color, attenzione for the color picker.

Although th 5/6 signal bar mod works, it still has a maximum value of 4 signal bars with the last 1/2 bars always empty. Hope you can fix it.

Now that you're saying it.. I thought I just didn't have a full signal.
This setting actually just enables something built-in, but deactivated. And it seems that Samsung had just started to implement this, but has not finished it. The part where it calculates the signal strength to be displayed is still in the range from 0 to 4. I'll see what I can do. I think Jkay has activated the same function, so maybe he can tell me what he did to fix it.

No problem. Hopefully you can fix it!
Also, could you do mods such as hide alarm clock, vibrate/silent icons, time hide, battery hide?
I found some smail codes for that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8104552#post8104552

The signal strength bars are fixed in the next version.. at least for GSM. For CDMA, EVDO and LTE, the signal strength will be interpolated (means that level 1 will be skipped, plus level 5 for the 6 bar version, to have a range from 0 to 6 instead of 0 to 4).
I have also started looking into the status bar icons. I think I found a good place to hide them, but haven't tried yet.

Can't wait for the new version. I can test for you if you there's anything.

thread bookmarked!
Things to consider implenting:
- ics lockscreen on/off
- sammy lockscreen on/off
- hide sms from call log
- no autoconvert of sms to mms
- toggles?
- clock color
- new notification bar in dropdown?
- brighness level/profile
- lockscreen switch
- density changer with market modder
- show/hide statusbar icons
- hardwarebutton for cam
- no low/full battery sound
- reboot options
- remove swipe to unlock text from ls
- tranparent ls
- ...
There is so much u could implement...i think, that is the problem jkay is struggling with. Samsung and google have left so many gaps to fill...i will try to help and find some tutorials to support this project.
Anyway ur idea and approach is brilliant!! Lots of thx for ur efforts mate! Cheers

I think a switch between the two would be better

I have just uploaded version 1.1. Additionally to the signal strength fix, I have added the possibility to change the status bar clock color.
Also I found a very nice color picker and added it to the settings. This makes it possible to select any color with any transparency.

@haasgo: Thanks for the big list of suggestions!
In general: I will concentrate on things I use myself. I have a full-time job, a girlfriend and don't want to spend *every* free minute developing, otherwise I will probably lose interest soon. As I use Go Launcher EX, WidgetLocker and exDialer, it's very unlikely that I will create mods for the launcher, lockscreen or dialer. Also you mentioned some SMS related things.. I write and get very few texts, so don't hope for these features too much.
Anyway, here comes the good thing. In contrast to mods as we know them, where someone patched the framework-res, systemui etc. and published the files, you can combine different modules. Someone else can implement some lockscreen mods and you can use both, with the combined power.
And second, the project is open-source (see first post). If someone implements a new feature or a bugfix, they can send me a pull request so I can integrate it into the Tweakbox.
That said, some specific notes:
- ics lockscreen on/off
- sammy lockscreen on/off
Do you mean this? Sounds easy to implement.
- hide sms from call log => see above
- no autoconvert of sms to mms => see above
- toggles? => the quick settings? yes, definitely on my list!
- clock color => done
- new notification bar in dropdown? => not sure what you mean
- brighness level/profile => will look into it
- lockscreen switch => is this the same as above?
- density changer with market modder => what is the "market modder"? I used the "LCD Density Changer", which works fine
- show/hide statusbar icons => will look into it
- hardwarebutton for cam => maybe
- no low/full battery sound => already implemented (see menu "battery")
- reboot options => what would you like to see there?
- remove swipe to unlock text from ls => see above
- tranparent ls => see above

Totally agree with your approach on this.
You came up with an awesome concept, took the effort to actually make it real, and have now provided a great tool for modders / tweakers to use this framework to do the stuff they please.
I also have a (more than) full-time job, a wife (which is worse than a girlfriend, time-wise ), and definitely agree you should focus on stuff you actually use, which is the things that you're surely more motivated to work on when you do have some spare time for this hobby.
For the community, the great added value you can bring - in addition to the huge step already achieved - is perhaps improving the framework here and there in order to make easier and easier some of the tasks. One of the examples I recall is the recent discussion about the "pos-layout-inflated" hook so you easily have a way to programmatically apply a delta over an existing layout, minimizing collisions between mods or base stock changes that render invalid a mod one writes.
About the mods that could be written, and on a personal preference, the stuff I'm more eager to get (or implement when I get the chance ) are definitely the quick toggles and the additional entries for the power menu (which is what I believe haasgo was referring when mentioning "reboot options" ???).
Also, in the framework itself, I'm still not totally aware of the level of support for changes without reboot, meaning: activating/deactivating a mod (perhaps you can activate it but then must manually kill say "SystemUI process"), changing settings for some of the Tweakbox items and have them reflected immediately, etc.
In summary: you've done an awesome job so far . There are still some small things that might be helpful in the framework itself, but the definite quantum leap is about to happen as soon as this thing gains momentum and mods start appearing that use the framework, bringing more and more devs to this paradigm.

Sorry to be picky but now the 5/6 signal bar mod always shows no bars at all.

I cannot reproduce that.. it has always been working fine for me since I fixed the problem a good week ago.
Anyone else having this problem? Did you restart your phone? I had some strange effects (e.g. battery icon gone) when I tried to just kill the SystemUI. And what does the phone status in the settings app say? For GSM, the number of bars is directly dependent on the "asu level", for others there should be a simple translation from the default (0 to 4) levels.

Anyone using a non-standard density and being annoyed that some Samsung apps don't use the available space? For example like, I'm using 210 dpi. In the calculator, phone, calender etc., there is a big gap on the bottom right.
Well, I found a way to trick those apps into some kind of compatibility mode, which scales up the dimensions. Sometimes that's a bit blurry, but much better than before. And of course, it's looking like a baby phone again with those big buttons. I'm just wondering why it doesn't work well for some apps. Theoretically, this should make it possible to select different densities for all/most apps, but it works only partly.

Your software work very good bro
Good job.
It is possible to add fonctionnality crt on ? For exemple and %battery.
Add most or change toggle it is possible?.
Why % battery bécause when i make this my systemui work when i put in uptdate rom but not work in full rom instal i lost my status bar grrr Lol.
Thanks for your very good job bro.

2 Phone tweaks
I finally took this baby for a spin and implemented 2 patches that I was missing.
This is very rudimentary for now, but just like rovo this is most of all to fulfill my personal needs
The 2 patches I implemented were:
Activate the phone call recording button. This requires manually replacing 2 library files, initially shared by rlorange in this post but that I know attach since the link is dead.
When calling someone and that person is in the middle of a call (outbound call waiting), in addition to the popup message also vibrate the device so you'll know you're on hold even if you're no longer looking at the screen.
Hope this might be useful to someone.
You'll need to have the Xposed framework v1.6+ installed and activate my module in there once the app is installed. Also, you'll need to activate the patches you want (both default to OFF).
Cheers!

Wow, congratulations on that! Nice to see a mod by someone else.

I don't think it's possible from Java side to enable CRT On... the CRT Off is already there (although buggy on some ROMs), I just had to set the switch.
Battery percentage.. maybe. I actually prefer battery icons that already include the percentage.
And what do you mean with "Add most or change toggle"? Those quick settings? I will implement more toggles, but I didn't find the time yet.

Even in sgs2 there are some variants (asian, I think) that don't enforce that restriction. I guess that's where the alternate libs came from.

Impressions & Reviews and thoughts about KitKat + EMUI 2.3! (B510)

I thought, would be nice to talk separetly about the KitKat International B510 firmware. Also we can write reviews.
My FIRST impression about this KitKat update is mixed. I missing a lot of features, like Permission manager for push services?!
Video playing is really bad! Standalone and online also. If i open videos online, and rotate the screen, i only hear the sound but the screen flashing all the time. Also video image slides alot!
Sometimes the launcher freez, when scrolling to another page. At multi-tasking when i close app with gesture, (not clicking on "X") it closes not smoothly.
Permission manager is gone? A lot of apps needed that, to work properly. For example: Facebook Messenger Cheat heads blocked, so i cant use it because of that.
Others? Whats your imressions overall?

This is BETA, so it's undestandable to have some issues and missing apps. All apps will be there in the official release.

Is it worth upgrading from B507 to B510 ?

Yes. Give it a shot, it is much faster and all the new functions are running very smooth. The performance is much better.

Update this beta version through OTA (I attended to do beta tester).
No problem with standalone and online video, about launcher seems slightly less fluid, I recommend using a theme created for 2.3 EMUI version.
About the permission manager, I suppose it's changed the method of management with the app "phone management"
I love the new keyboard and the new lock screen !

Yes, im okey with changes, but if it's working well. In phone management you'll not finding any options to set up, permissions neither push options. So it's not a good "change".

I find instead the new implementation significantly easier to use than before, for example, the widget is really functional and also the new management once you understand how it works, I do not mind at all.
It is true, I have not found the settings about notifications, but the rest is "smarter" :highfive:

for me no problem with video playback ( i sugest hwreset)
and Permission manager is now phone manager... so nothing is missing at all ;p
it runs good as for day of usage ;p

Im curious about future updates. They said, at the end of july they will release the final version. doubt that we will have a newer beta. I hope everybody will gave a feedback to them. The wierd thing, is we have official beta for 2.3 but china didnt.

@BeyondTheHorizon (assuming your working for Huawei)
My impressions, after updating from B506 to B510. Note that since i have already used Emui2.3 beta (B014) and Emui 2.0 (official) i will not get into mentioning its improvements over Emui1.6.
- Magazine lockscreen is awesome. But i don't understand why magazine option is enabled only for a selected theme, while a few other theme have weather option on lockscreen, and why not instead have them all for all themes. (Also haven't figured out what the "link" option is within the magazine lockscreen menu).
- Overall there is lags and inconsistency in transition and animation speeds everywhere.
Examples:
> Pulling down notification panel has slower animation then when pulling it back up. While on the other hand there is also a jamming lag when notification panel goes back up.
>Random lags when moving about homscreen pages.
> lag in settings sections when entering each settings item.
- I personally dont like the splitting of drop down panel into two "notification" and "switches". The combined was much better. Even in the split form, there is design inconsistency, for example in the switch panel there is lot of free empty space on the bottom half and there is no point in having a slide down arrow to reveal just one row of switches. Furthermore it would have made sense to have the switches fill the bottom half, as it makes it easier for one hand usage. But i still prefer the the combined form which just two rows of switches and brightness option, while the rest hidden under the slide down.
- Thankfully the weather 4x2 widget is proper size, compared to the huge size on B506 and B014. But the transparent clock widget (first introduced on Honor 3c & 3x) is not yet available on this rom.
- The video player app is missing (and like others mentioned, the permission and startup apps manager, one hand option and navigation bar hiding option is missing too)
- I was hoping for changes in the "customize" section of the theme changer app. The old problem of swiping right/left a lot to get to the end of the lockscreen styles, or icons types, etc remains a burden.
- As someone said, its time to change the grey color of navigation bar. Either allow users to customize it, or have a number of colors that changes according to apps.
- In contacts "favorite" section, there is Chinese fonts.
- I don't think there is a need to have all the google apps pre-installed. Just a couple of them would be enough, while the rest can be downloaded from playstore.
- The water mark option in camera is nice. Cant find the "Cheeze" to take pics option. The photo editor is great and fun too. Video recorded on camera comes out dark. In case of taking selfie pics, once you hit the shoot button, the screen weirdly gets all yellow before taking the pic. Photos looks grainy too. But im no expert on camera, so i could be wrong.
- The Chinese rom had an app center app, and at times the latest version of the Huawei apps would be available on that. Such app updates are not available on this rom.
- The types of transition effects for homescreen keeps decreasing with every new rom update, when instead we should be getting newer ones added.
- The homescreen icons on this rom appear slightly bigger compared to them on the Chinese rom. Can be noticed when applying emui2.0 theme icons on this emui2.3 launcher.

Good and bad in B510
Good
- Magazine lockscreen is really good. I like it, hope more themes are like that.
- I like the splitting of drop down panel into two "notification" and "switches". But I hope they could have a setting to enable/disable it.
- Floating apps are awesome.
- Torch in notifications is very useful.
- Ultra power saving mode changes UI to dark black --> seems convincing that it will save battery life. Overall this rom has decent battery life.
- External SD settings
Bad
- Just hope that when I use other music players it can get the controls on the lock screen. Also, if there was a music slider to skip a few seconds of music was available on lockscreen that would be good.
- Hope that the default launcher could have a drawer. Having all the apps on the screen is messy.
- The radio widget still isn't transparent while the other huawei widgets are. It stands out and looks ugly.
- No permissions manager. It blocks facebook chatheads by default because it draws over other apps. No way to unblock it because permission settings are missing.
- The grey color of navigation bar is horrendous. Hopefully they notice this and they make it black or able to customize.
- Camera pictures look grainy.
- GPS still sucks. Don't know if it is a hardware issue.
- No ART mode
Other
- I don't know what to think about the carrier name. I feel like it's ok, don't hate it or like it.

The carrier name HAS to go! Why do they need to put it there anyway?
I agree with @warea about the notification panel that is better in Emui 2.0. Having it separate could work if you can change the settings of how you want it to be opened.
I find that the rom is a bit laggy most of the time, but for a beta I can live with it.

The carrier name it's something new for this update. And everything else it's really just a matter of opinion. The most important thing is that this ROM must run smooth and fast without any lag when it will be released as official/final. Everything else is just customization that can be added or removed by rooting and installing third party apps.

Also noticed, my phone is really hot, even for simple use. And the battery is really bad on this rom.

[Q] pull down Notification drawer for Nokia x

hey everyone , i haven't found a quite lightweight and stable rom for nokia x so, stock rom is perfect for me but i dont like the launcher anyway and while using custom launcher i cant see my notifications unless i lock the app and see in lock screen. so if there is any way i can get pull down notifications just like any other normal android please suggest me..or if anyone could develop a way to see notifications any other way it would be very helpful
thanks in advance

You can use the notifier pro app.It works very well. ?

I tried many notifier apps.. actually the "notifier pro app" suggested by rajat doesn't use the down slide notification panel..
The others I tried that should do it, don't work on Nokia X except 2:
-Super Status Bar... but it lock and crash the phone (I had to remove battery to unlock the phone)
-Inoty, it works PERFECTLY. With the down slide you will se a panel with two tabs, the first contains the calendar and other things. Going right you will se the second tab with all the notifications. If you go in the notifications tab and slide up the panel, everytime you slide it down again you will see directly the notifications tab (and not the calendar tab). Inoty panel will appear instead of normal Nokia X status panel, in Inoty panel there aren't the switches for wifi, bluetooth etc.. but it's sufficient to slide down again from the top of the screen to switch to the normal Nokia X status panel where you can find the missing buttons.

[Q] S-Cover with Lollipop

I'm enjoying Lollipop on my S4 Mini, but I have a problem..
With Lollipop, you can't customize the lock screen clock, right?
I haven't found a solution, because I would like to put the clock more up, so it shows on my S-Cover display.
So I tried to install other Lock screens, but the problem I have then is that the screen doesn't show if I press the power button, while the cover is closed. That only works with the Lollipop lock screen.
So how can I solve this? Does anybody know a solution?
Either can you customize the clock on Lollipop lock screen?
Or can you enable that the screen shows when I press the power button while I'm on another lock screen?

hi !
you can try with this app => https://github.com/durka/hallmonitor ,maybe it can work ,i don't know ...

I have tried Hallmonitor, but it made my screen go black after a phone call. I had to restart the phone to be able to use it again, so I uninstalled it. I also tried S-View Lite from Google Play, but it's the same problem there like with all the other lockscreens from Google Play, I can't put the screen on with power button if the cover is closed. That only works with Lollipop default lockscreen.

I don't think it is as easy as just getting an app since the s-view cover uses an sensor and the holo sensor to activate it. I guess we will have to wait till some developers start in that or Samsung releases an SDK or even better Lolipop Update

Hall sensor works in cm11 and 12 what is missing is the sview lockscreen

State of HallMonitor development
Development of HallMonitor seems to have stopped since version 0.4.2 (latest commit of the author "durka" is from 22 Jul 2014). This version doesn't support CM12(.1) (see issue 52 on durka's GitHub page).
The suggested installation of the "MagnetOff" Xposed module is not a very useful workaround since you can't use the hall sensor (magnet sensor) anymore and would have to fall back on the proximity sensor (which is a pain in the a**).
The GitHub user "manusfreedom" has added several features and took development up to his version 2.0.2 beta (but his last commit is quite old too, from 21 Sep 2014). Has anyone tested manusfreedoms fork on CM12(.1)? Or does anyone know about a revival of HallMonitor's development? Would be so awesome to have this for CM12.1 ... :cyclops:

To customize the clock position, try this.
You need Xposed for this. -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-lock-screen-clock-mods-t3069272/post59810253
Works perfectly!

Can you change the SM-P600 5.1.1 pattern lockscreen?

Hi guys, I have 5.1.1 on my SM-P600 stock not rooted YET, and I was wondering if it is possible to change the way the pattern lock looks like, it is terrible, it's small and located in the bottom middle of the display, and has an old theme, it's a downgrade from the 4.4.2 lockscreen. So I was wondering if I can possibly change it to look like 4.4.2, without 3ed party lockscreens. If there is any way please tell me, an xposed module, an app, a system tweak, whatever, please tell me, i'm truly disgusted with the new lockscreen type, I want the old lockscreen back.

I also would like to know, the only thing that really bothers me is the amount of time the lock screen stays on after I pull the Spen. It's only a few seconds.

l agree with the time out being way too short on the lock screen. 1 second isn't enough time. I'm also noticing since the update to 5.1.1 that the wallpaper isn't shifting properly when I rotate the device-in both lock and home screens.. It looks fine in landscape, but rotating it to portrait the image stays in the center of the screen, no longer adjusting to fill it, even the icons aren't adapting well to rotation. Not to mention I hate the camera icon being on the lock screen! l can't seem to find any settings to adjust these things. l really liked how well this aspect of the tablet worked before the update. Are there any apps that can fix these issues?
