For modding toggle bar is necessary to made some smali and xml edit too, only lidroid apk in framework folder is for nothing. Look here for more info.

Hi all,
i need some help over here.
I've changed many, many things in my framework folder. Now the next step is to add the notifications bar toggles from lg-res.apk
I took one prebaked lg-res.apk and modified it a bit. Then i zipped it into my rom, but no toggles jet...
My guess is that there are more files to edit to get the toggles working.
Can somebody help me out a little bit.
Every time i give up and post a question how to fix something, i emediatly find a fix..... So i have my toggles working, but want te remove the music widget. How can i decompile the .xml file to remove the lines from there ?
you edit the xml with notepad, you don't decompile an xml

ok ok, i decompiled framework-res then edited the xml file, but now i've got some bootloops
could you tell us how you got the toggles working???
can you take these out of the original rom and put them in another?

i extracted the lg-res.apk from a basic rom, edited it and placed in my framework folder.
Then i copied the file: status_bar_extended.xml from framework-res.apk to my own framework-res.apk.
That worked, but the carrier bar is now empty and i don't have a solution for that right now.

to remove the music widget buttons, you need lg music installed.
you can remove the buttons in menu of lg music ...

how do you know, what "status_bar_...." files you need?? if i wanted to copy the status bar toggles from a working rom, should i copy all staus_bar_ files i find?

Well i think i had some stupid luck , just looked at all the file names and picked the one that looked the most logical to me
oh i see
but let me take a guess, you deal with the toggles to include them in your rom?

It's just status_bar_expanded for the pull down, only one file.
@OP - Just change the height of the music control block to '0dip' in status_bar_expanded to hide the music controls - you can not remove them (but hide works fine). You do not need to use the LG Music app to do this.
Or search for my mod posted here and extract the status_bar_expanded xml.
Hi all!
someone managed to change systemui of the Original Stock ROM v20q to insert the transparency into the "status bar"?
It seems that the systemui is different than the v20l/m/o
any ideas?
thanks
for transparency in status bar you must replace status_bar_background in framework-res.apk with this one(attached).

status_bar_background in framework-res.apk
No, that doesn't work.
Hey people,
I found the solution: There's not a picture that have to be modified, but an xml file.
Decompile framework-res.apk and after that SystemUI.apk and go to SystemUI/res/layout/
Then, unzip the attached file and replace status_bar_tracking.xml in layout folder with the new file and recompile SystemUI.
i wonder what im doin wrong it doesnt work for me
I am trying to port the Status Bar Tweaks here (the deodexed version) to my systemui with 14 toggles. I copy all the required (to the best of my knowledge) smali files and make the correct edits to status_bar.xml and ids.xml in values (again to the best of my knowledge). APKtool will rebuild the systemui.apk with no errors, which I then place in APK Manager to sign which is successful. First thing I do is copy the required StatusbarTweaks.apk and Settings.apk to system/apps and set the right permissions. Then I then push the systemui.apk that I have modified to my phone and reboot. When the phone starts, the notification bar does not open, or show, but there is no error or force closure either. When I check the systemui.apk with root explorer it is in the apps folder and permission are correct. Yet nothing shows as far as the status bar is concerned. Everything functions on the phone, the new settings shows the StatusbarTweaks option, the quickpanelsettings.apk works to change toggles and reorder toggles also. So what I am wondering, is there a line to have the phone start the notificaton bar that I am missing? Not sure if that is the case as I don't delete any lines from any files, just add to them. Would appreciate if any dev can offer suggestions or assistance to my problem which is becoming slightly frustrating LOL... I know if I can get this done and working I could probably port it to other systemui with swipe to remove notifications and 14 toggles. I have attached my systemui.apk if anyone wants to investigate inside of it and guess I should also mention I run XWKTM 2.3.6 rom on my phone. Thanks in advance for any help. My programing knowledge is non-existant other than understanding the xml files a bit, probably just enough to be dangerous.

Add features to your kernel( from XDA-U)
http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/adding-features-to-your-kernel
TIPS
Tip-1
Enable CRT screen off animation in ur phone(Will not enable animation when screen is turned on)(does not work on S5830i)
Decompile framework-res.apk
go to res/values find bools.xml and open it.
[/B]
Change this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
to this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
If this does not work, look for detailed guide with editing of services.jar
Tip-2
Change your android version and name(just a superficial change!)
1. Open your explorer.
2. Go to system/
3. There's a file named "build.prop"
4. Long press and then open in text editor.
5. Find these-
ro.build.display.id - Build Number(Default: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2)
ro.build.version.release- Android version(Default: 2.3.6)
6. Edit, Save and Reboot!
Tip-3
Make status bar transparent(Only transparent for homescreen)
1. Decompile systemui.apk
2. Go to res/layout/status_bar,xml
3.Find android:background=FF000000 and change it to android:background=000000000 for full transparency and to android:background=5F000000 for half transparency.
4.If android:[email protected] statusbar_background (this name can be different) is present in status_bar.xml then you can find the image named statusbar_background in res/drawable-ldpi( or mdpi/hdpi depending on the device) and make that image transparent via image editors!
This simply means our status bar background is drawable and we are providing proper image for it!
Will add more tips soon!

I did, but not to you
Also, is the CRT effect not able to be done on a Gingerbread-based stock rom? I decompiled my framework-res.apk with NinjaMorph but, I can't seem to find the dir [APK ROOT]/res/values nor the bools.xml file...
Another question, is it dangerous to my rom's stability if I use somebody else's framework-res.apk? (taking into account that my rom's backed up though, it's not really an issue )
Ah, my phone is a GT-S5830M (same as the GT-S5830i)

I am also S5830i user but this method won't work due to unknown reasons! I'll edit OP!
Otherwise it will work on other devices!
Don't replace framework-res.apk.. U'll get bricked.. If u are doing ui changes just take the pngs and replace in ur framework-res.apk! But make sure resolution is same as that of original one!

It is yes, but you can only theme images it seems with NinjaMorph, which is why it doesn't list the folders that consist mainly of xmls, which can only be edited after being decompiled.

Does anyone know how to remove from the system tray carrier name ?
If you can edit the systemui.apk after deodexing, it should be easy for you.
Unfortunately it was not possible for me, to deodex our systemui.apk.
The downloadable edited systemui.apk of the p6 is running, if you rename the original systemui.apk and systemui.odex.
But after that you will miss some taskbar functions.

Its working, thanks:good: I used the apk from first post
I made a simple tutorial here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/development/guide-how-to-remove-carrier-tray-t2843461
The systemui.apk from #10 has a house instead of a huawei logo for home.
If you don´t rename systemui.odex, you will get a lot of systemui error messages and it would be difficult, to fix it.
The better way is to edit the original systemui.apk.
Since this is working well, am I able to deodex this SystemUI and make my own changes? Couldn't deodex the original SystemUI.

i cannot get it working. all i see is black window when i restart. what deodoxing means? wut
