[MOD+GUIDE] Carrier logo's for stock ROMs (and others)

I have always loved the extended settings Andy Thomoson has made for MIUI (found here), especially the carrier logo's in the statusbar
Well, I have been messing around with the SystemUI.apk from the latest 2.3.7 OTA for the NS4G and made it accessible for that stock ROM. I'll make one for BuglessPete's GPA17 and maybe CM soon.
I'm pretty sure this option has been around for a while but it really is a cool mod and wanted to revive it.
Here is an example of what it looks like
{
"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"
}
The logo can be a lot of things.. Here is a good thread for some carrier logos
So here is the one I showed in the pic: download here
^^That zip was built against the 2.3.7 SystemUI.apk for the NS4G.
I will take requests. Also please refer to the second post for a "How-To"
Instructions
1) Flash ZIP in recovery and rebot
2) Download this eri.xml.zip found HERE
3) Extract that eri.xml and copy/paste it to /data
4) Change permissions to "everything"
-looks like this using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer
5) Toggle airplane mode or reboot to see changes
6) Enjoy!!
How To Submit Request
1) Post your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your current ROM
(SystemUI.apk is found in /system/app and /system/framework)
2) Post the carrier logo you want (or give an idea of what you want)
3) Post what ROM your using
If you want any other mods like differnt colors for the clock, date, ticker notifications, pretty much anything in the statusbar letme know and I can do that as well

GUIDE
1) Decompile your SystemUI.apk
2) Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder and goto
res>layout>status_bar.xml
3) Open it with word processor of choice (I prefer Notepad++)
4)Find the line that starts with
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.IconMerger
5) Place your curser right at the beginning of that line, press enter to make a space
6) In the empty line now, copy/paste this line of code
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="@android:color/transparent" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/carrier" android:background="@drawable/carrier_logo" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
7) Save and exit
8) Now goto res>values>ids.xml
9) Open that xml and add this line to the end of the id's (right above the </resources> at the bottom)
Code:
<item type="id" name="carrier">false</item>
10)Save and exit
11) Now take your carrier logo picture you want to use and place it in res>drawable-hdpi and name it "carrier_logo"
12) Now compile your SystemUI, sign it if using apktool and make it into a flashable zip
Here's an empty flashable zip folder structure you can use
DOWNLOAD HERE
Just extract that zip, place your moddified SystemUI.apk in the /system/app folder, then select both the system and META-INF folder and zip em up
EDIT: 2-13-12
I changed the code for the carrier logo to hopefully get rid of overlapping text with carrier logo

Ok I attached a zip you can flash in recovery. Everything decompiled/recompiled fine with no errors.
I also attached the SystemUI.apk by itself in case the zip doesn't work, try moving the SystemUI.apk to /system/app/ and change permissions to rw-r--r--

@melvinchng
Attached is the modded SystemUI in a flashable zip and standalone apk

Just a quick reminder, don't forget to follow the instructions in the OP especially when it comes to the eri.xml to get rid of the double logo

Thank you very much, Fergie, but the mod don't work...
The ZIP file give me an error on flash in recovery and the sistem-ui make disappear the status bar...
Where is the error???
Sorry sorry

It should work
Try toggling zip verification in recovery when flashing the zip
if copy/pasting the apk by itself, you have to change permissions of the new SystemUI.apk to rw-r--r--
Or you can use adb to push it to /system/app/ then go into adb shell and run
Code:
su
fix_permissions

@ynkamat
Regarding the message bubble design you requested. In order tho have light text on a dark bubble requires decompiling/recompiling the Whattsapp apk and editing the xmls to change the text color. I have tried that in the past, but with little success .. as Whattsapp doestnt seem to be able to recompile properly with the conventional decompiling methods. That is why you will see most mods have only black text on lighter bubbles. Not so easy to do an inverse design.

@Yorzua
I am well aware of how to decompile and recompile apks.
The issue is with the Whattsapp apk recompiling after editing the Styles.xml within the res values folder. As many themers have found, there is an issue with recompiling WhatsApp apk after performing such edits. No one seems as yet able to successfully recompile the apk and alter the message bubble text color. You are doing well if you can change the text to inverse using ApkTool.
I myself prefer APK Manager than ApkTool as its command line structure is much better laid out and has more options.

@ Youzua
Are you able to change the black bubble text to white (within the speech bubbles)....?
The trouble lays in that part of the modifications.
I have yet to see anyone successfully recompile the Whatsapp.apk (myself included) and have the changes (black text to white) actually work after finalization.
Many have tried editing both the Style.xml and Color.xml.. but the it just don't take after recompiling. The person who cracks this is going to make everyone happy.

Wasnt you happy when i was posting all my posts off topic from the theming of your themes ?
Did i help you or i just imagine your words below ?
Without my help, you would never be able to go deeper in your own theming which comes now to a real development via xmls and smalis !
I wanted sincerely to help you but hey, like you said, you seem to be more proud or ashame for that... i still remember how you posted in my threads with rage and crap **** ...
dont count on me ever to help you and wrong if you think that we dont need help from someone else... ​

I just created yesterday the OP and will release properly all versions with screenshots this weekend

I'm liking the changes made, not sure about the font.
BTW, Some of the preview images hosted on imageshack are not appearing.

All feedback is always appreciated.
This thread is about Whatsapp.
Fonts are not included in the apk but comes from my rom ICS_Yorzua-Desire v2.

I'm not able to install it. I copied it to system/app . changed permissions and reboot. But nothing happens.

Works for me and others.
Do you have place in your internal memory ( /system ? )
Did you set Permissions to all ?
[example]

I love your customizations Yorzua, the best around!
BTW, I installed a modded version of tweetdeck thanks to you Yorzua and I followed the same steps as you did and it worked flawlessly.
Downloaded apk to my Nexus S SD Card, then I open *Root Explorer* (you can use any file explorer with root capabilities: Script Manager - ES FIle Explorer - ROM Toolbox) changed mounting to writeable and moved the modded app to /system/app ..... then changed permissions to file so it reads: rw--r--r--
After doing so, I rebooted my phone open the app drawer and app was there, clicked on it and it works as it is supposed to.

Can you also make a BBMessenger look-a-like..??

Hi, great theme, I like it! But why is it necessary to install your app as system app & reboot? I tried other themes which can be used by just installing them. I'm just curious.

Not mandatory but 99% of the members coming here have already the latest release installed and since whatsapp ca be moved to sd, my method to install it is more efficient.
but for a first installation, you can perfectly install it with one click

[MOD][GUIDE]Modified S-PEN Shortcuts toolbar / Change Apps (CWM)

IMPORTANT: Flash this MOD at your own risk. I or the XDA assume NO responsibility for any failed flashes or bricked tablets.​
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
How-To change Apps in the S-PEN Shortcuts toolbar​
I found, after a long time, a solution for change the Apps in the S-Pen Shortcuts toolbar. The toolbar pops up if you pushed out the S-Pen.
I don´t like and use some Apps like this stupid Game "crayon_physics" or Polaris Office...... first i have delete the Game but how i can get a new App in this Toolbar?!?
Now i have found a solution!!! And i want to teach you how you can do this!!!
First a few Screenshoots before and ofter the modding:
before (without the game):
{
"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"
}
after modding:
So .... how can you change the toolbar? I have tested it only on a deodexed ROM!!
What do you need?
any APK Tool Manager for decombile and recombile, like this LINK
a Text Editor like Notepad++ (free)
your SystemUI.apk from your ROM
a cup cake and a coffee :laugh:
First you decombile the SystemUI.apk
Go to the folder systemui\res\values
open the arrays.xml with the Text Editor
Here you find this lines
Code:
com.diotek.mini_penmemo,com.diotek.mini_penmemo.Mini_PenMemo_Service
com.sec.android.app.snotebook,com.infraware.filemanager.FmFileTreeListActivity
com.android.calendar,com.android.calendar.AllInOneActivity
com.acrodea.crayonphysics,com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1,air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
com.infraware.PolarisOfficeStdForTablet,com.infraware.splash.SplashActivity
Now you need the packageName and the className of the App that you want to make in the Toolbar.
An example:
com.acrodea.crayonphysics,com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
packageName = com.acrodea.crayonphysics
className = com.acrodea.crayonphysics.crayonphysics
or
air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1,air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
packageName = air.com.adobe.pstouch.oem1
className =com.adobe.pstouch.oem1.AppEntry
Now you can change the packageName & className with your wanted Apps and recombile the SystemUI.apk
Pushed the SystemUI.apk in a flash able ZIP or changed it in your ROM.
Here are a List of Apps that i have allready tested! If you have an other App please post the packageName and the className and i added it on this List!!!
Or install the ClassFinder App
Code:
[B]Contacts[/B]
packageName=com.android.contacts
className=com.android.contacts.activities.DialtactsActivity
or
[B]Contacts[/B]
packageName=com.android.contacts
className=com.android.contacts.activities.PeopleActivity

Now, if we can just get it to be modified, on the fly (as an app and not required to be flashed in recovery), by specifying the apps you want to put in there....THAT will be cool and very, VERY useful.

no luck, grrr i have tried everything even pushing it with adb, the systemui keeps crashing, when i replace it with the stock systemui everything runs fine, i even installed the latest 8010 you have posted on another thread and build a new one and pushed that one and still no luck :crying: also i noticed the screen turns on by its self for no reason with the modified systemui

one last Attempt ...
Please use the latest N8010er Build N8010XXUCMA5 deodexed from me. After flashed the ROM reboot the device.. then reboot in Recovery and flash the ZIP from this attachment!
I hope now it works...

Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly for me. I do get it to work, but then the systeui.apk crashes every few seconds. Do you have an indication of what could go wrong, or at least where do you think a mistake is made?

Whats the difference between this and simply changing the statusbar_bg.png or stat_bar_bg.png in systemui.apk directly from either an app like ninjamorph or by simply using apk tool?

That was my bad coz thats in framework-res.apk , but instead of talking like that you couldve simply answered my question. I know a lot about theming and have made themes for myself and since ive been out ofall of this work so i forgot. Using the vrtheme template is making a mod is easy but you can change the bg by editing the tw_status_bar_expanded.xml in the layout folder. Its good that you are making such mods available to everyone. But anyways , i still didnt get the answer i was looking for.

Well, sorry coz i was bad in explaining. I just replied in hurry and if you know all theming and all for our s duos then this question for "simply changing the statusbar_bg.png or stat_bar_bg.png in systemui.apk or framework-res.apk" whatever has no mean at all from you.
Well my friend, i was meant that there is no such file in any of apk file having such image file for background of notification panel.
And mate only systemui can have such files for status bar and its panels. Neither in framework-res.apk or not any other.
Explanation in short
What i did is:
As you have seen my this thread
Enabling/modding Transparency
Then in this part 'Now for making StatusBar Expanded/Notification Background transparent.'
I just changed the value "#xxxxxxxx" to "@drawable/statusbar_bg".
In files 'tw_status_bar_tracking.xml' and 'tw_status_bar_tracking_dual.xml
but not 'tw_status_bar_expanded.xml'

So you changed it from id/#### to @drawable right ? Wow ill check those xmls out. Thanks

Not id
I changed '#xxxxxxxx' (color value) to @drawable/statusbar_bg" (source of image)
where @drawable/statusbar_bg" means @drawable-hdpi/statusbar_bg.png

Ok so instead of using the color value u redirected it to the png ? Great, ill have a try with that transparency mod of yours as this mod is based on that i guess. Thanks

For transparency with background mod needs this:
Use any image editing software like Gimp (I always use this only )
Open that image in it and change the opacity as per your need, save it as 'statusbar_bg.png' only and then continue with step 9.
Here are some screenshots for gimp:

Yes i figured dat out , used an image with some transparency already in it. Thanks for the mod
Just a suggestion- this mod replaces the existing systemui.apk so it actually removes the theme which is already present. So it would be great if you can make a mod which actually just changes the current systemui.apk instead of replacing it. You can easily do this by using the vrtheme template u used in this thread. :thumbup:

My friend, if you are using any one of my themes or stock theme, see all the first post again clearly. You will get all your answers for that.
But if you are talking about this:
If you or anyone did something himself/herself for theming without my themes by replacing pngs or by using any other app . Then there is no solution just now because values has to be changed in values folder only so it cant be done by vrtheme patcher and if vrtheme patcher will not do this then obviously previous theming will be lost.
So for them and for you too, its better to make backup of systemui before flashing this mod.
cheers

Yes i was using my own theme so i themed your apk given in the mod. So do you have to change a value in one of the files in the values folder? Cant you replace the whole file in the folder with a modified one ? Vr theme template can be used to replace a particular file just like u replaced the statusbar_bg.png in drawable-hdpi.

[2.3x+][GUIDE][MOD][2EZ2Do][GRIDandHORIZONTAL]PO PowerWidget V1.2.2[LAZY-FRIENDLY]

Power Widget
POTech Works​
Hello XDA, how are everyone? Since I had my vacant time, I brought something, not so unique but I guess it worth to try. As the title implies, yeah its a Power Widget. Remember the CyanogenMod power widget, lidroid quickpanel, and spacecaker xperia toggle and everything that is similar to this, and yeah Im so old and outdated now but I should give it too. This was forked and derived from CyanogenMod 7.2 power widget.
This requires some patience to do, not like how SpaceCaker did. But if you insist to make it to a Super EZ guide, then I can make it(in humbly speaking)
Update:
-Added Grid style power widget
-Added Recent Toggle
-Revamped PO Power Widget Settings
-Refurbished layout
THE THREAD IS UPDATED, NEW USER AND OLD USER OF THIS MOD, DO IT AGAIN SORRY, NO SHORTCUT FOR OLD USER
Old update:
-As some XDA Developers demand, I'll make this guide 2EZ2DO(too easy to do). No more smali included plus make your systemui.apk
-For those who made the guide already just replace the smali folder in your SystemUI.
-For new XDA-Developer who will do this, just go with the instruction.
Whats hot:
All lidroid features
22 Power Widgets all in all
Snappy and accurate PowerWidget
Consistent Wifi and Bluetooth name
Widget Threshold
Profile Button
Integrated in your SystemUI
Smart Settings
Easy to do
Grid Power Widget​

Bare in mind that scrollviews should have only one child. In your case , you might do the following:
Code:
<ScrollView......> (Parent)
<LinearLayout.......> (Set the orientation to vertical) (Child)
<com.blahblah.PowerWidget....../> (Child of LinearLayout)
<com.blahblah.Notificaionblhablha......> (Child of LinearLayout)
<TextView..../> (Child of com.blahblah.Notificaionblhablha)
<TextView..../> (Child of com.blahblah.Notificaionblhablha)
<and so on....> (Child of com.blahblah.Notificaionblhablha)
</com.blahblah.Notificaionblhablha>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
It is theming matters. As I said at the instruction, Let your theming skill do the job
