Guys, I know there's a thread about this here, but that guide is about Gingerbread, and if any of you go to the file mentioned there, you'll see that its completely different.
What you'll need
Tools
I made it using Virtuous Ten Studio, but you can use whatever you want. If you prefer, you can take a look here and choose the tool that best fits in your needs.
Files
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/framework.jar
Let's start!
Changing the Plat Logo
This one is pretty much the same, go to framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi/ to change the platlogo.png and platlogo_alt.png, and you can head to SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-nodpi/ to change the jandycane.png, redbean0.png, redbean1.png, redbean2.png and redbeandroid.png.
Changing the Text
For this example, I'll use the lines on 4.2.2 Sammy ROMs. If you are on another build/version, the lines should be like this:
4.2.2 Sammy -> 151, 157 and 198
4.3.1 AOSP ->182, 188 and 238
But I higly suggest you to not do it based on the line numbers, but in the line itself. Here are how the lines should look like:
Code:
[B]1st -> [/B]const-string v9, "Android "
[B]2nd -> [/B]sget-object v9, Landroid/os/Build$VERSION;->RELEASE:Ljava/lang/String;
[B]3rd -> [/B]const-string v8, "JELLY BEAN"
1st step: Decompile framework.jar
2nd step: Head to com/android/internal/app/PlatLogoActivity.smali
Go to line 151, the line will be like this:
Code:
const-string v9, "Android "
Here you can change the "Android " text for whatever you want. Note the space (" ") between the word "Android" and the right quote, that's what divides the sentence "Android" from "4.2.2".
e.g.
Code:
const-string v9, "RaphaDroid "
Now go to line 157 and see that things will get a little bit complicate:
Code:
sget-object v9, Landroid/os/Build$VERSION;->RELEASE:Ljava/lang/String;
The command sget-object is "calling" a variable somewhere in the file. But we can change it to const-string, just like in line 151. ** I've tried to delete the lines that I thought were responsible for this line, but (probably due to my lacking smali habilities) the phone got into a bootloop. **
e.g.
Code:
const-string v9, "v1.0"
Now head to line 198 and you'll have this:
Code:
const-string v8, "JELLY BEAN"
Here is just like the line 151. Change the JELLY BEAN text for whatever you want.
e.g.
Code:
const-string v8, "TUTORIAL"
Since this line is located under the other ones, there's no need to add space (" ").

After changing everything you want, just copy/paste your apks and framework.jar in the right place, give permissions "-rw-r--r--" and reboot!

really it works for all aosp roms, just different line numbers. I used this guide with N7 no issues. You should post this in xda android theme section too, its extremely useful

Looking at framework.jar inside crDroid AOSPA, I guess you could try this method in lines 182, 188 and 238 (at least in mako). But in CM-based ROMs, I have no clue on what could it be...
There are so many possibilities and I don't know smali... lol

I don't think so... In 4.4, we have a much more complex easter egg, that uses another Wallpaper... But it would be a lot of reading to understand that code...
Or you could use a platlogo with the same size of your screen.
this is a really nice guide.. will try it..

You will need a lot of smali knowledge for this hahaha
I don't know if it's possible to be done in few steps or without "recoding" everything... And I think it doesn't accept animations, only static images.

For the record, I didn't mean to offend you, ok?
And I took a look at a 4.4 framework.jar and it's COMPLETELY different, because of the much complex Easter Egg that is present in KitKat.
I wasn't offended btw I was just telling.
And I planned to do some research on SystemUI and framework of ics and compare it with job N kk. Because ics also have an animation easter egg

Hey, I'm Mouhab
I was thinking about a windows tool that help themers in making themes easier and faster ,and when i opened some MIUI v4 and CM9 themes and after reading some theming tutorials I found that :
1. Every single icon should be with the its IMT (Internet media name)
2. And every button, label, and so on should have i long name
3. XML values for everything themes (apps, settings, and so on)
4. And making a theme takes a very long time
So, my tool will do the following:
1. Renaming icons (You will have only to enter the APK name that appears on your mobile and the tool will change it to its IMT)
2. XML editor built on the values in original XMLs of themes I checked
3. HTML (XML) color picker
4. Editing images color values
5. Building the APK (dunno about this yet)
Now I need your opinion on this idea since I started the project 2 days ago and need your help in adding more features to the tool and make a data base for all apk’s name

Currently I do not know how to port it to linux, but I will look into it and give it a try! Regarding the error, it was about mono and .NET, I fixed those but it just crashes once it opens. Tried with both wine and playonlinux(like a graphical front end for wine) with same results.

Hey guys, I really like the holo theme of ICS/JB, but really hate that Google has not yet themed the orange GB parts of the framework... it's certainly an eyesore, even with some apps that use holo theme, there's some orange GB parts remaining.
This theme, changes the colour of remaining GB parts to blue holo style. I've tried to achieve the holo style as far as I could. :fingers-crossed:
Here are some screen shots:

Flashing:

4. Profit!
WORKS ON ALL ICS AND JB ROMS!
Currently I'm using it on CM10, and I've tried it on AdamG's Jellybelly (before it was discontinued *sniff*), stock JB odexed ROM, stock JB deodexed ROM, and CM9. It worked perfectly on all of them but as a user have reported, it does *NOT* work on Brainmaster's stock JB ROM because he use XHDPI png's.

just heads up you have SDK these are located in SDK/platform/android-15/data/res with the res of the framework
also if you use apktools when you decompile the apk it will automatically put the lines in for you
also if you decompile any apk with apktools it will add the lines to .9 files automatically

I used apktool. decompiled the framework, edited png's with Photoshop, and when tried to compile, got ****load of errors. Those errors happen when you remove a PNG and don't remove the line for in public.xml, which is weird because I didn't remove anything. Just edited them.
Thanks for your help, I will send you the png's, I think I'll redo them, was not exactly satisfied with the ones I recreated, and will try to make it more ICS/JB style, not just recolored GB. Also I think I messed up some of those lines in .9.png files... But I am not home tomorrow and probably the day after tomorrow. But I'll jump on it as soon as I can and will send you the PNG's, if I couldn't get apktool to work.

Obviously not as it tells you the location and names of the png's.
Of course im assuming your xperia tipo firmware is the same as the xperia T, if not then why are you posting here and not in your parent forum?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1982
You dont change 2 png's to change settings background, you change 1, the dark png as named in the OP.
And no you dont necessarily have to use whatever your screen resolution is, but it wont hurt. A lot of firmware that isnt riddled with Sony's messy overlay use "background_holo_dark" and "background_holo_light" at 512x512 pixels found in framework-res\res\drawable-nodpi to display the background
How to invoke a status bar background image.
The following was tried and tested on the SystemUI.apk from xperiment 2.3 JB but should work on others.
You do the following at your own risk.
What you need:
A basic understanding of apkmanager/apkmultitool.
Tools used:
apkmanager v5.0.2 for de/compilng.
UFT (universal flash tool) for pushing.
Image editor.
Draw9patch (sdk tools).
Step 1
decompile SystemUI.apk and open up "res/values/drawable.xml"
Step 2
Search for the line of code reads:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[COLOR=Red]#ff000000[/COLOR]</item>
Then carry on with Step 3.
If it reads:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[COLOR=Red]@drawable/***[/COLOR]</item>
move on to step 4
Step 3
We need to change:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[COLOR=Red]#ff000000[/COLOR]</item>
To
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[COLOR=Red]@drawable/NAME_OF_.9.PNG_IN DRAWABLE_FOLDER[/COLOR]</item>
I used this:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[COLOR=Red]@drawable/status_bar_bg[/COLOR]</item>
This will tell the system to display "status_bar_bg
Step 4
We need to add an image with the name of the drawable.
e.g.
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">@drawable/status_bar_bg</item>
I would add a .9.png to res/drawable-xhdpi named status_bar_bg.9.png
The images MUST be a .9.png. I tried running standard png's and SystemUI stopped running.
Step 5
Delete "res/values/public.xml" and recompile.
When asked "is this a system apk?" choose yes.
When asked if you would like to "copy over" choose yes.
In the keep folder delete "resources.arsc" and continue.
If it compiled without errors you should have an apk named something like unsignedSystemUI.apk. rename it to SystemUI.apk and push it to your phone.
End result:

DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE...BE SURE TO BACKUP AS ALWAYS
Also please note that i do NOT own a 7.7 so the files that i upload must be confirmed working by actual P6800 users...thx in advance
well, guys...we FINALLY finished the multi window mod for P6800 owners (no P6210 for the moment). Below i will provide the link to the rom that u will need to use as well as a link to my original thread with more detailed instructions. I advise that u please at least read the UPDATE V5 section of my thread over in the Tab Plus forums...although the entire first post should be useful. Let me also add that yes...this mod may remove other mods/tweaks that u have installed or that come preloaded with your rom. Over time we will manage to get the best setup for everyone...for now i would advise using the stock rom.
UPDATE V2: This new version doesnt offer any new functions unfortunately...i just threw together another zip which includes all of the apps that need to be replaced so any new flashers wouldn't have the same issues & questions
UPDATE V5: I finally got around to uploading the new version of the mod for your device...please read the V5 section of my orginal thread in the Tab Plus forums. I have linked to a zip which includes apps that will need to be replaced due to force close (almost all stock samsung apps)...also be aware that i MAY need to create a separate version for the P6210 so please test and report). For those of u using the "sky high" rom by @UpInTheAir then u already have the latest version included so no need to flash this....and to everyone else who has not flashed it yet what are u waiting on go try it out!
Install Instructions
1. Install rom using CWM or TWRP (recommended)
2. Edit your build prop by adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the very bottom (may also need to change dpi)
3. Flash the V5 file below followed by the forcecloseapps.zip (please note...these files MAY need to be installed manually using TWRP or AROMA)
4. Delete flashbarservice.apk located in system/app (only necessary if coming from V2)

The mod seems to be working in erobot v1 albeit not as well as the phablet version by the looks of it.
The windows can be resized, even though the grey bar isnt there and there doesnt seem to be the ability to have them side by side as they appear to just be floating windows but it works!!
edit: changed the DPI to 213 and it works as it should now but i have no menu buttons, will try some other DPI's

Custom ROM Image in Settings.apk
Featured in Cosmic v2, I was searching for this for a long time, I happened to ask for help to some people, but, it didn't work out.
I knew the code to be added, but I was adding it in wrong file, then i figured it out and mod was complete :victory:
I looked back and remembered that Sniper Killer suggested me to try custom layout and smali editing. I knew, it was nothing to do with smalis, duh. Just a simple ImageView Tag it was. But the Custom Layout thing was true
Guide
1. Download the SettingsSource.zip
2. Decompile your Settings.apk
3. Extract contents of SettingsSource.zip to respective folders in Settings.apk
4. Open /res/xml/device_info_settings.xml
You'll see several <Preference android:title tags
Add this just a line above the first Preference tag:
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@layout/areebisawesome" android:key="blah" android:title="" />
Finally, it will look like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/about_settings"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@layout/areebisawesome" android:key="blah" android:title="" />[/COLOR]
<Preference android:title="@string/model_number" android:key="device_model" android:summary="@string/device_info_default" style="?android:preferenceInformationStyle" />
Save the file
5. Now,go to /res/drawable/
There, you'll see cosmic.png Change it to any png of size 320x200 You can change this size description in /res/layout/areebisawesome.xml
6. Recompile the apk
7. Enjoy

Oh. There was a thread already
But, no, it isn't his code.
I've added it myself and it's no big deal, anyone having knowledge of xml and some experience in Eclipse Layout formation can add it.
If you have confusion, ask Sniper Killer, we had talks of it enabling this feature and it was completed in steps with several failures
First I was adding the code in device_info_settings.xml but then realized that it won't work as it's not controlling the layout and won't support ImageView
Then I tried what Sniper said, adding a custom layout in drawable which worked and I saw the PreferenceCategory code in one MIUI ROM :silly:
Report it to the mods if you feel like it's his code Having added so many features in Cosmic v2 and providing credits to all of them, Do you think I would be crazy enough to leave one credit out of nothing?
And, don't you feel these talks should be private instead of public as you may have read "If you have any issues, please PM me"
And by this post, I mean no disrespect to you
