[Q] [Help req.] Notification dropdown mods - are these possible? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

I'm trying to modfiy my notification dropdown area a bit, and I'm wondering if we have the following functionalities available on our Xperia's - I'm on V, but I'm guessing T and variants should be similar.
The first one would be to add a brightness slider. I based the code on a section from my Galaxy S2's status_bar_expanded.xml and the slider itself shows up, slides back and forth and whatnot, but doesn't actually affect the brightness level. There is a "brightness" id in res/values/ids.xml, which is referenced in the code in status_bar_expanded.xml, but like I said, nothing happens when using the slider. Any suggestions to get this to work?
The other thing that I wanted to try to emulate from my S2 is the way ongoing notifications are separated from "swipeable" notifications. Each gets its own section, separated by headers, with ongoing items such as music player controls on top and then normal, user-clearable items underneath. From digging around a bit in SystemUI, it seems like Xperia is more or less without this functionality and I'm probably out of luck, but I thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks in advance!!

I would be very interested in that brightness slider.

It's one thing to make the slider show by editing xml, in order to make it work you would also need the code for the function, i.e. smali. Not sure if that's as easy to port but there are SystemUI mods for other Xperia's, like serajr's that also have this.

Huh, I wasn't expecting this thread to come back to life, lol.
There is a resource id called "brightness" in SystemUI's public.xml which I called to when I edited status_bar_expanded.xml (and this was with ICS). Now that this thread has popped back up I finally got around to looking at it again, and it looks like that id goes to SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\tablet\SettingsView.smali. There's no equivalent file in statusbar\phone. I'm basically non-functional when it comes to smali, and it seems to be more than a simple matter of splicing a section of code from one place to another, so I guess I'm off the case for the time being.

[CONCEPT] PortalMIUI Lockscreen Theme

First things first, the title says it all. It's only a concept, not a reality (probably because I don't know the first thing about how I would make this). I'm hoping that if the idea is popular and doable, someone will eventually make it.
I whipped up something really quick in Photoshop (see the attached photos) to show you.
The idea is quite simple. The base screen will show the time and the slider (the stick figure). When you press on the slider, the unlock, phone, and messaging icons will (quickly) fade into existence.
Now, sliding down will unlock the screen, but because the lock icon is above, the only way to get there is through... yep, a portal. When you move the slider in the direction you want to take him in (down to unlock, left to go to phone, and right for messaging), the other icons disappear and two needed portals expand (see picture) into existence, taking you to the icon.
So, it's like almost like a regular three-point lockscreen but with a bit of Portal into it.
Comments?
That. Is. Friggin. SICK!
Lol I actually thought about this once when I saw a portal lockscreen on the "Post your screenshot" thread.
It is very easy to make and if I had the time right now I could make in two days. But I'm just a bit too busy right now.

Notafacation bar toggles to settings

DarkyRom is capable of taking you to the settings by holding the toggles in it's notification bar
I use AxLor_HDBlog_Xlite because it's too small and fast and clear but I really need this function.
How can I add it?
For example: if you touch the Bluetooth or wifi toggles it will turn it on and off but if you hold it it will go directly to it's settings
Edit:-----------------
FOUND THE SOLUTION:
i tested (( 14 Toggle Status Bar )) that originally belongs to ROCKET ROM and it worked Perfectly.
- you can choose between/up to 14 toggles to have in your notification bar (there is a setting for it)
- by holding any toggle you go to their settings (which i really love)
you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1380284
i would like to have that function too
Please devs this is very important for me and I'm sure for many people.
If anyone at least put me in a right direction
Come on guys. Any one??????....... anything????? ...... really?????.......
Almost all the Roms for Galaxy S II had this. This means it shouldn't be that hard
I guess I'm the only one who replies to me!!!!!
Anyone can help?
ICS has it (at least there was a settings shortcut on my pulldown menu on my GSM GNEX).
get rocket rom, it's in there..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I want to know how can I add it to any other Rom i like.
Is it a tweak or what? i just want to know how it works
FUI (I just flashed RocketRom and it didn't have it) which means DarkyRom is the only Rom that has this.
please refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380284
What is this thread have to do with my request?
ROCKET ROM doesn't have this. And even if it does doesn't change anything
I need to learn to add this function to any Rom I want
This require you to decompile some of the framework files, make the code changes and then recompile it in order for you to do that. Usually you have to do it for every ROM that you use because it needs the framework-res.apk from that specific ROM.
Well do you know what to do to which?
Like an instruction for the whole thing.

No, I dun but I know the files are framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. Once you used apktools to decompile these files, you need to search for the correct xml to edit and add in extra actions to do when the user long press on the icons. As these are not default actions, you need to add in the action class yourself.
I havent try to research anything in this area yet but I'm sure Google can find you an answer

Moving soft keys and editing notification bar in CM10.1

Hi,
I looked everywhere for that:Google, XDA any other forums but no where I can't find answer for my question. So is there posibility to move soft keys in Landscape mode? I loved them on the left on Stock but CM10.1 is soooooo gooood I'd like to have here as well. Unfortunately editing is allowed but I cannot change position and it's only for portrait mode... Any tutorials for that?
Another thing is how the heck I can edit notification area? (right scrollable bar with wifi, battery etc icons) I found some kitchen but it's not that what I really want because for me they are ugly.
I have looked in Android Hacking and Deving > Android themes but in mess there is hard to find anything
You mean the TabletUI patch what would give you notifications to bottom right panel and back/home/apps buttos to left side and remove top panel?
No.... cant get that patch. The OHA (Open Handset Alliance) removed the old tablet UI and current is new one.
I have altough heard getting it if you tweak specific config file where you change display DPI (PPI actually) value from 160 to 133.

Samsung CSC Modifying, build.prop, and others - Root Required

So now that we have root (happy day!!!!!!!), I've been playing around with CSC modifications and wanted to share two I've done so far. PLEASE find more, this is JUST a start!
So for those unfamiliar with CSC, you can do it manually as they started getting people involved with on this thread, or semi-automatically with apps like Samsung CSC Master and CSC Feature Expert. I personally used the latter, CSC Feature Expert, because it looked cleaner and could search quicker, but take your pick I guess....
Here's what I've come up with so far! The italicized part is what was CHANGED, what it was changed TO, more specifically (hope this clarifies things)
Remove NFC enabled icon in the notification bar - NFC_StatusBarIconType = None
Remote Persistent WiFi notification in pull down menu - Wifi_ConfigWifiNotificationStyle - deleted Att, did not replace with anything
I'm sure there's plenty more, but this is a great start so let's see what you all come up with! I'm dying to change SystemUI / Framework / etc to get all my vanilla Android icons back on the notification bar, just like how I did it on my S5, but that's proving harder than expected for everyone involved.... Gotta get the AOSP Bluetooth icon, removing AM/PM from clock, and having a standard circle battery icon instead of the percentage AND stupid battery icon! Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the Carrier ID in the notification bar and pull down menus? Should be a CSC change that I haven't seen yet, so thanks in advance if you find it.
Awesome work so far buddy! Any idea on how we could remove the Bluetooth or Alarm icons? Or even battery / signal indicator. I prefer having a clean status bar!

That's wiping it clean for sure! I don't know about those, usually zeroing out icons is more framework than CSC, it was dumb luck that the NFC icon was in CSC really. I'm hoping there's some ATT crap code that can be changed to revert the Bluetooth icon back to AOSP looking, but I doubt it's there.... I'm thinking that the persistent wireless charging notification might be though!

From what everyone has said on the PingPongRoot thread, you can use Smart Switch to restore if something screws up, but I believe it would be hard (read: not impossible) to break something bad enough to need to restore anything by editing CSC values - I'm not even sure if "none" or deleting the value all together was the right thing to do in the first post, but it worked and didn't cause anything like a SystemUI failure / reboot / etc.
Of course, YMMV, so tread carefully, I'm still digging but having changed anything else in CSC values yet

One way would be to edit your build.prop.
Be very careful because messing with build.prop can cause a bootloop, not sure if it would be recoverable right now.
What you could do would be change this line:
ro.product.name=zerolteuc
to
ro.product.name=zeroltevzw
or
ro.product. name=zerolte
Then reboot.
Note, this will change your signal icons and if you use zerolte, it will add S Finder and Quick Connect to the drop down.
I'm running zerolte because I like the global icons and don't mind the two new items on the pull down.
I think once xposed is updated, there is an option there. I don't think it is on CSC.

Has anyone tried using Smart Switch to restore?!? I did some searching on it but the only thing it does is a factory reset (which doesn't clear root permissions) if I understand correctly.
EDIT: I checked out what the newest (?) version of Smart Switch can do and while I do think that it's possible for it to restore ATT S6/edge phones, it's currently not a possibility. For me it says SM-G925A does not support initializing.
I've researched that error and seems that the regular ATT S6 also gets the same type of error. So until a firmware dump appears or Smart Switch gets updated with ATT s6/edge compatibility, you cannot restore to stock if something messes up.

Have you already done this without bootloop? If so then as long as I only change this exact line i should be good.

Yeah, this is why we really need Xposed.... changing that line means we change a lot of things all at once instead of just what we need to change
Like you said, ro.product.name=zerolte removes the AT&T carrier name from displaying, but adds S Finder (does nothing for me) and Quick Connect, PLUS stock data icons which I really hate for some reason - don't know which one I hate more though, the carrier name always showing up on the notification bar or the stock data icon? haha
if you change it to ro.product.name=zeroltevzw, you get rid of S Finder and Quick Connect, but add Verizon data icons, which again is arguably worse
This was highlighted here: http://zidroid.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-how-to-remove-s-finder-and-quick-connect-buttons/
Xposed will allow me to change everything how I like it - ATT carrier name removed, AOSP Bluetooth icons, circle battery, no AM/PM, ATT data icon, and remove S Finder, Quick Connect, as well as the Brightness Bar :good:
I dont mind using Tmobile data icons if we can get the code to use.

zeroflteuc is just the regular S6. The Edge doesn't have the 'f'.
Therefore, you would change yours to zeroflte (or zerofltevzw, etc).

Move clock/time to right side?.

Any way to move the clock/time to right side? Insert rant about android 9.
The usual samsung methods don't work. The SystemUI tuner app does not work either. TouchWiz is missing from the Beta+Rooted+adb permissions given version of the app. The custom entry keys (middle/right_clock_position) do nothing both on or off.
Also for the phone dialer, is there any way to change to one click to accept instead of the slide method?
ROG/ZenUI is really lacking in customization.

Don't think there is currently a way to move the clock. It bothered me too when I first got the phone, but now after a little over a week of use it's perfectly fine, I'm use to it. Not sure about the dialer tap to answer instead of slide, as I prefer slide to answer because it's less likely you'll accidentally answer an unwanted call.

Thanks, though now there's no way to show the 120HZ but not the auto-rotate indicator. Depending on if you have free or pro, it'll either show both or neither.
I guess nothing can work properly. It's about to be expected since it was never updated for android 9.
Thanks though.
EDIT: it's even more of a buggy mess, the temporary notifications don't disappear ever (message received, downloading item, etc .
Hrmm? Yes they do.
I've attached screenshots
It does not for me. The icons are stuck there after the notification ends. Are you using EdXposed and Flat status bar indicators v5.1.3?
I also have system tuner UI installed which may interfere with it.
EDIT: It turns out SandHook is more stable than YAHFA in this case.
