I'm trying to modify certain icons on the status bar but not having any luck. Some files are locked when I open them up in photoshop so I can't edit them.
Anyone have any idea why that is? It isn't a .9 file...
I've attached a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about:

This is most likely because the image is in indexed color mode. Try changing it to RGB by going to Image > Mode > RGB. Hope this helps!
Edit: I'm stealing the text from the very bottom of your signature btw
Double click the locked layer in the layer palette a dialog should pop up and hit ok that usually unlocks the layer for me.

Awesome, I ran into this problem a few times as well, some of the images in the framework are indexed and some are not, there are even a few in there that are grayscale, which will really throw you off when you are trying to add color haha

I'm not on my laptop right now so I can't check to make sure this works, but try changing the mode to indexed color and save it. Then exit photoshop and reopen it and open the file again and change it to RGB. That should do the trick, if not let me know and i'll look into it myself; i'll be back at my comp in like 15 mins lol. Also, if it still isn't being colored in RGB mode, make sure that the hue/saturation is not turned all the way down in the document itself, not just the layer.
I'm currently running CM10. I have some major screen burn in from the navbar. I found an app called "dead pixel detect and fix" that can fix my problem, but I need to be able to hide the navbar. Is this possible?
Yes, use a rom that allows it. For now, cm X doesn't.

There might be a no nav mod somewhere if you google it. Otherwise you will have to grab the framework-res.apk and decompile it with many of the tools out there, edit the appropriate files (bools.xml and all plural.xml files) recompile, and then either stick it in a flashable zip or push it back in and chmod 644 it.
download paranoid, as far as I know, is the only rom that let you switch between full and regular screen, I have it and use lmt launcher and love it.
Try Fullscreen toggle apk.
Just search Google.
No need to flash a whole new different ROM.
Hit the thanks button if it worked for you. ^__^

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
i didn't want to create another thread for this .. this thread is kinda sorta related to it so imma ask here .. anyone find a way to make the nav bar transparent? like in Moto Atrix HD

I installed v2 of the app which is supposed to work with JB, but it didn't do anything when I tried to disable the navbar. I'll have to try something else tomorrow when I have time.
decompile framework-res.apk
/res/values/dimen.xml
Edit the nav height vertical/horizontal/portrait all to 0.0
This will not only remove your nav bar, but will make ICS+ optomized apps think you have one...so they show the native menu buttons in-app.

I'll have to try that. Unfortunately, I won't have access to a computer for the next few days. I'll keep looking for a mod in the meantime. Everything I've found so far only works for ICS or other ROMs.

Jubakuba, thank you so much. Now I get more screen real-estate. Guess I'd better learn how to use LMT fast. Really nice of you. I owe you one.
Could you help me out as well Jubakuba? Thank you.
Go Launcher Ex
I use Go Launcher Ex which allows me to hide my status/navigation and dock screens.
Maybe a launcher would help solve your problem.

Sorry men, at work...I'll get it at 12:45 am MST if you still need it.
I was playing around in SqLite Editor, and I stumbled upon a way to enable the grid UI in settings.
What I did was open SqLite Editor, found Settings Storage, then into Setting.db, then into System, found "settings-gridui" and change the value to "1"
I have the S5 found Note 4 and the setting menu as as a grid was pretty cool and to get it back on the Note has made me love this phone even more.
Try it out and let me know if it work a for you all as well.
Thanks for the find! Trying out now
I hate the fact that if you change it to like tab view or something, you can't go back in

Lol is this why you asked about the sqlite editor?
Grid view can be permanently enabled with xml edits. It will also give you the view options you are looking for so you can change views whenever you want. You decompile SecSettings and edit the appropriate xml file (can't remember exactly which one unless i'm looking at the files, sorry) to enable grid view and disable tab view. This combination will allow you to switch between the two views with the menu button. However it won't let you use tab and grid settings at the same time for some reason... only list and grid or list and tab.
What you are doing is editing the settings.db file which is fine but if you do a reset it will be lost.

Great find, I'll toy around with it and see what will come of it. Thanks for the info and instructions
Decompile SecSettings.apk
Look in res/values for bools.xml
I believe you will find the setting in there... i'm pretty sure.
Just remember that you can only set one of them to true. If you set grid and tab both to true, it will not work.
Save then recompile and push it into your priv-app folder then set permissions and it will stick.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love it.

I had an iPhone for a few years and the pixel brought me back. The progress android has made has been phenomenal but I see a few things missing that used to be here before. Honestly I think I'm overlooking it but who knows.
FYI I have an unlocked bootloader and am running magisk running stock rom and kernel.
1. I used to love my Note 1's navbar with the search and menu button in the navbar. I remember xposed being able to do it but the modules haven't been updated and just cause a bootloop on the pixel. The customnavbar by paphonb doesn't allow you to have the menu button on the bar. Is there a way to make this work with oreo?
2. What happened to the text notifications? I replaced Google's main text app with Textra but I recall there being custom notifications and ringers all being in the contacts app.
3. What happened to changing the apps notification sound? Back then it was really easy to set the sound of the apps but I hardly see that feature.
4. Can you change the lockscreen clock font? I changed my system font and the clock has a question mark where the colon used to be. I know I could find another font but I really like this one.
5. How do you get in and out of the phone quickly? I find myself double tapping on the display and most of the time it works. Is there a better way?
Note: I saw some of these tweaks were on substratum but I couldn't get it to work for me. I tried to use substratum but the themes won't take because I'm on stock or because I don't know what I'm doing. I would like a clean lockscreen or one where I could swipe to the left or right and start recording. I forget the name but there used to be an app that customized the lockscreen.
If anyone could help me figure out Oreo I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your help!
The font fix is exactly what I needed. I hated that square or question mark for the colon!
The custom nav bar app is the one I was talking about by php. I don't see a way to add the menu button to the nav bar on that app but I'll look and confirm.
I still use my iPhone silicone cases for this phone so the fingerprint won't work. That's disappointing I thought there might be a quicker way.
Thanks though!

It does but it doesn't let you add the menu to the navbar. And it also removes the battery percentage from the status bar for me. I wish it worked because that would be perfect for me with the navbar and customizable sounds [emoji21]

That's fair, but they aren't meant for the pixel phones. Sell them and get a new one with a proper cut out for the fingerprint reader.

So this adds the button that looks like the menu but it doesn't function like the menu at all. It disappears and I think it has to do with the 66 being set as the code. I don't think that's the right code for the menu button to actually work. I took a screenshot.
Either way I'm giving up for now

Quickstar. It will change the colors on the pull down menu.
I use #hex to theme/ customize the colors on mine.
Some of the Galaxy Store Themes* may have this.
Between those, the icon packs* found there and the Goodlock apps you can easily customize the Note 10 without tears and stablely.
*Many of the best ones are free. A big Samsung perk.
