Hello
I'm using kitkat 4.4.4 and was wondering if there's any way to change the look of the quick settings panel - from image 1 to image 2?
I've tried using an xposed module called Flip Panels, or something like that, but after I reboot I get a systemui error.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks

My guess is that it is a custom rom. The dev probably just edited some xml files from systemui apk. I'm not on KK so can't look into it at the moment, but mess around a little with apktool, and see what you can figure out. Look for files in res/layout that seem to refer to quick settings, and also in res/values/dimens xml. It may also be a different version, like 4.3 vs 4.4 or something.

Hello everyone!
I have tried and tried to customize framework-res.apk, and what a nightmare!! I made a script that works all fine when using Defrost 2.9a and 2.5, but if i try Cyanogenmod or Defrost 3.0, i get force close. When I modify both xml and images.
What am I doing wrong?
Bestest of best regards,
Jonas Hald

As i get it, that doesnt work when I edit the xml, then it has to be recompiled?
Sure
If u change the code it has to be Recompiled ;-)

Yeah, so I do
But i get force close in cyanogen and DF 3.0 - but the Circle Mod online framework modifier can do it, without force close.
Are you sure its not semi-edit the files? I think there are just various versions of the framework.

So i'm trying to edit the status bar background.png file. I've made a copy of the framework, changed it to zip, replaced file, changed back to apk. But the systems folder is read only. how do i go about changing it to 'write' so I can replace the frameworks???
Also, if my background is transparent, do i also need to change something in the xml if I want the new background to be a solid color
I had this mod on my SGS. Anyone figured it out for SGS2 yet?
In the meantime while mods are sorting this for us I can recommend "Screen Off and Lock", which has a CRT TV animation.
for CRT effect do as below
Decompile framework-res.apk and edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
Compile framework-res.apk
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by 'CRT effect' ?

The animation you see when you turn the screen off or on.
the animation that was taken from the Nexus S
like an old tube tv on/off

Does anyone know if the CRT effect mod is available to download without a battery mod attached to it also?
I only want the CRT animation but want to keep the original battery indicator. Tried decompling the framework res file but I'm kinda a noob when it comes to more advanced procedures. Couldn't get my head around APKTool or manager.

Instructions are in the thread. You have to replace your original framework-res.apk file, and need root access.
Thanks Rawat
Had my Galaxy S2 for 2 weeks now, rooted it, made a few mods and tweaks, waiting for my 16gb mem card to arrive and its good to go. Will have to bite the bullet and put my SIM in and retire my beloved HTC Desire
Finally found time to add this mod but i read through Rawat's other thread and it says not to install this mod if you're running VillainRom, which I am.
I know it is available in VillainTweaks but it also installs the battery mod which i dont want. I crashed my phone with force closes last time i tried to install an incompatible mod.
Use the file attached to this post then
NOTE: THIS IS FOR VILLAINROM KE7 ONLY.
I am kinda lost here.
I have KE2 on my phone. Came out ot the box that way. What file do I pick to get the CRT on / off animation on my phone ?
Will the KE7 file work or ?

this app is awesome and has some great screen off animations, like 10-12, no need to root for just one effect, this way you can get a bunch without the need to be rooted
Hi guys this is my first post here in xda!
I'm here to ask a thing:
When i unboxed my XPERIA PLAY I and turned it on i looked to the black status bar on the phone framework and looked to the box framework that was more beauty and was blue with white icons.
Can someone tell me if its possible to get the original blue framework like the image i have posted above, thanks in advanced, and sorry my English :S.
The photo of the box us edited with the computer. The statusbar looks on every xperia play that is on stock "ugly".
You must be rooted and edit the systemui.apk to get this

My PLAY is rooted, and i have 2.3.4 with it, what things i need to edit in systemui.apk and where do i get those files?
Thanks.
Which theme did u use?? I think its a theme effect. Try changing it to blue.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It's not a theme effect, it's actually older amdtroid version. I remembered my friend's X10 android 2.1 stock has this battery style.

You'll need to modify the battery icons inside framework-res.apk then push it back into system. Maybe you can ask someone to theme it for you

One more thing, do a nandroid backup before you modify. And make it a flashable zip and flash it via CWM.

Noo thats wrong. you need to edit systemui.apk in /system/app.
the systemui.apk actually prodyces the statusbar

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM
Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.

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

Can you guys help me ?

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?

4.2.2 stock with some mods (beats louder, a custom battery in status bar, a new locking...)
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
