Ics rom-:
FOR CM9 roms, you need to edit the theme.holo sections of styles.xml
If theme.light on froyo/GB then
theme.holo.light on ICS
forexample, theme.holo.noactionbar(actionbar=titlebar)
But in froyo/gb its theme.notification,,,
Just holo is added in ICS framework
After you end making transparent compile application and flash this framework-res.apk , for finding Hex value visit colorpicker.com
Chooose the guide suites you the best!!
PS. if you are using this guide in your rom make sure there is proper credits to this guide and link
Note-
drawable/yourpicturename means copy your .png file (will be background like in settings.apk) in drawable-mdpi (your device DPI)
Make sure perfect size !!
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers...!!
Plz hit thanks to guide and post comments for more guides

What you need:
5 minutes
A rooted device
7zip >>LINK<<
UFT.zip >>LINK<< THIS CONTAINS PRE-BUILT DIRECTORIES!

Instructions:
Download and install 7zip
Download UFT.zip
Right click "UFT.zip" and select "7zip>Open archive"
In the new window navigate to "MORPH\system\framework\SemcGenericUxpRes.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi\". You will see an image named "REPLACE_THIS_IMAGE_720X1280_MAXIMUM.png", delete it!
Place your new background files in here by dragging and dropping. They must be called "semc_bg_bright_tile" and/or "semc_bg_tile".
Close the window and place on you sdcard for flashing

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:

[GUIDE] Changing Plat Logo and Text - Easter Egg (JB)

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 (" ").

All I'll ask you, is that if you are going to change something in your ROM because of this guide, just mention me somewhere in your thread. It helps me A LOT!
Thanks!

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..

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

[MOD][GUIDE][GB] Highlighted Chooserbox

Hey all!
If you have noticed, on ICS/JB there is a little transition when you click on a chooserbox. This is a nice feature which I like very much!
After doing some investigation on framework I realized that on res/drawable-mdpi there were some pngs which are needed for this feature to work.

Actually this feature exists on gingerbread but there aren't enough xmls to activate it. Seems like Google has abandoned the project because of some reasons. The closest reason is this :
"Google have not implemented the full sources of it because they wanted to reserve it for future releases. [On ICS/JB]"
Why do i think so? Because @SpaceCaker has discovered many secrets whose nature is like in our case. He has discovered weather information on lockscreen, Music Player Control on Lockscreen and also some codes and smalis which are present on ICS.
[Actually, I have used custom sources rather than using google's one]
Today I gonna show you how to fully implement it on GB! :victory:
Requirments :
-APK Multi Tools
-Notepad++
-Knowledge about xmls
-Sources on attachments

- Decompile framework-res.apk
1. Go to res/drawable/list_selector_background.xml
You will see something like this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]list_selector_background_disabled[/B]" />
[COLOR="red"]<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_transition" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]list_selector_background_transition[/B]" />[/COLOR]
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_focus" />
</selector>
2. Change the 2 red lines. It will look like this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="@color/transparent" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_disabled" />
[COLOR="Red"]<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]sniper_killer[/B]" />
<item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[B]sniper_killer[/B]" />[/COLOR]
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/list_selector_background_focus" />
</selector>
3. Download the Highlight Chooserbox_source.zip in the attachment, extract it and put sniper_killer.xml on drawable folder.
It consists these lines :
Code:
<item android:duration="20" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim2" />
<item android:duration="20" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim2" />
<item android:duration="30" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim3" />
<item android:duration="30" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim4" />
<item android:duration="40" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim5" />
<item android:duration="50" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim6" />
<item android:duration="60" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim7" />
<item android:duration="60" android:drawable="@drawable/sniper_status_bar_item_pressed_anim8" />
4. Put the PNGs on res/drawable-mdpi
5. Recompile framework-res.apk and test

[Q] Quick Toggles on Android 4.3

Hey guys, has anyone tried to customize quick toggles on Android 4.3 GE ROMs? On Sense based ROMs running Android 4.2 we could simply edit /system/customize/acc/default.xml but now this directory is empty for me. Thank you in advance.

Anyone? :what:

Not that this helps but I don't think it's possible. I'm actually running CM10.2 nightlies just so I can edit my quick toggles lol.

There's nothing impossible on Android. Some things just would require way to much time/knowledge to accomplish How's CM10.2 now? Stable enough to use it as a daily driver?
BTW, on 4.2.x Sense ROMs it was pretty easy task:
langer hans said:
Okay first things first: Huge thanks to @descenpet who brought up this idea again. I myself did this in code, but this one is way easier, so I'll write it up for you.
I'll describe two methods. It's up to you which one you want to use.
The ADB Method:
What you need:
A working adb and a texteditor like Notepadd++ (Not windows notepad! Get a decent editor!)
1.
Get your CID:
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.cid
2.
Pull the needed file from your device:
If your CID is one of the following, pull the file that matches your CID. Only that one, leave the others.
Code:
adb pull /system/customize/ACC/HTC__032.xml
adb pull /system/customize/ACC/HTC__A07.xml
adb pull /system/customize/ACC/HTC__J15.xml
If your CID is not one of the three above:
Code:
adb pull /system/customize/ACC/default.xml
3. Open the pulled file. You find it in the same folder as your adb.
4. Around line 400 you will find the following snippet:
Code:
<item type="integer-array" name="quick_setting_items">
<int>0</int>
<int>1</int>
<int>2</int>
<int>3</int>
<int>4</int>
<int>5</int>
<int>6</int>
<int>7</int>
<int>8</int>
<int>9</int>
<int>10</int>
<int>11</int>
</item>
These are the EQS toggles with the default order. Now look at the following to get an idea what number is what toggle:
Code:
0 "user_card"
1 "brightness"
2 "settings"
3 "wifi"
4 "bluetooth"
5 "airplane"
6 "power_saver"
7 "rotation"
8 "mobile_data"
9 "sound_profile"
10 "wifi_hotspot"
11 "screenshot"
12 "gps"
13 "roaming"
14 "media_output"
15 "auto_sync"
16 "roaming_setting"
17 "music_channel"
18 "ringtone"
19 "timeout"
20 "syn_all_fake"
21 "apn"
Note that not all of the toggle are actually working. 0-12 are tested by me. Be careful with the others...
5. Now it is up to you. You can reorder the single "<int>X</int>" entries, remove some you don't need, and maybe add a GPS toggle. Following is an example:
Code:
<item type="integer-array" name="quick_setting_items">
<int>3</int>
<int>4</int>
<int>2</int>
<int>12</int>
<int>5</int>
<int>9</int>
<int>10</int>
<int>7</int>
<int>11</int>
</item>
Note how I removed three. This will give you the following look of the EQS:
{
"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"
}
6. Save the file
7. Push it back to the device: Remeber Step 2. Use the actual filename you pulled for the 2nd command
Code:
adb remount
adb push default.xml /system/customize/ACC/
8. Reboot youre phone:
Code:
adb reboot
Done, you have successfully reordered your EQS!
The ES File Explorer Method:
What you need:
ES File Explorer and CID Getter from Playtore
1.
Get your CID and remember it with CID Getter.
2.
Open the left menu in ES. (The globe and phone icon)
Go to Root-Explorer under Tools.
Tap Mount R/W
For "/system" tick the RW box.
Save, grant root if requested.
3.
Go into the following folder:
Code:
/system/customize/ACC/
4.
Note the 4 files there.
If the CID you read in step 1 matches one of the filenames: Open that file.
If you have a CID with no corresponding file: Open default.xml
Open with ES Note-Editor, if asked.
5. Scroll to about 95% with the bottom slider. You will find the following snippet:
Code:
<item type="integer-array" name="quick_setting_items">
<int>0</int>
<int>1</int>
<int>2</int>
<int>3</int>
<int>4</int>
<int>5</int>
<int>6</int>
<int>7</int>
<int>8</int>
<int>9</int>
<int>10</int>
<int>11</int>
</item>
These are the EQS toggles with the default order. Now look at the following to get an idea what number is what toggle:
Code:
0 "user_card"
1 "brightness"
2 "settings"
3 "wifi"
4 "bluetooth"
5 "airplane"
6 "power_saver"
7 "rotation"
8 "mobile_data"
9 "sound_profile"
10 "wifi_hotspot"
11 "screenshot"
12 "gps"
13 "roaming"
14 "media_output"
15 "auto_sync"
16 "roaming_setting"
17 "music_channel"
18 "ringtone"
19 "timeout"
20 "syn_all_fake"
21 "apn"
Note that not all of the toggle are actually working. 0-12 are tested by me. Be careful with the others...
6. Tap the top right icon, then "Edit".
7. Now it is up to you. You can reorder the single "<int>X</int>" entries, remove some you don't need, and maybe add a GPS toggle. Following is an example:
Code:
<item type="integer-array" name="quick_setting_items">
<int>3</int>
<int>4</int>
<int>2</int>
<int>12</int>
<int>5</int>
<int>9</int>
<int>10</int>
<int>7</int>
<int>11</int>
</item>
Note how I removed three. This will give you the following look of the EQS:
8. Save the file with tapping the top left arrow and confirm.
9. Reboot youre phone
Done, you have successfully reordered your EQS!
Of course it is advised to save your editied file somwhere, so you can put it back again after you flashed a new version of the ROM

You should be able to reuse your old default.xml by just copying it over. The reorder works on MaximusHD 4.3 version with the app I made. This uses the exact same method. Don't know why it's not there for you.

That's true lol. Just meant to say I don't think it's possible right now as in there's really nothing out there indicating there's a found method to do it in stock. I definitely searched a lot since I saw it could be done in Sense. I initially was on GE 4.2.2 and then GE 4.3 and wanted to edit them so badly. At least to add in a GPS toggle in there!
Anyway, I've been using CM10.2 since 8/20 when the first official nightly was released. I update every time they release a nightly and honestly, it's definitely been stable enough from the get go for a daily driver, depending on what sort of bugs you can live with. There's been some proximity issues in phone calls but I usually make calls with the head phones or speaker phone. The front facing camera has an odd reddish tint to it but I don't use it very often to bother me. Bluetooth works fine from the standpoint of streaming music in the car which I do often. So, it certainly isn't bug free but I'm not getting any show stopping bugs like force closes or things not working all together. For me, the customization I'm allowed to do (like quick toggles) far outweigh the minor bugs that are present.

Can you only reorder toggles or if there a method to add new ones in there, such as GPS? I'm assuming you'd need some graphics files or more for toggles that aren't present by default?

Install Xposed framework
Install GravityBox
it really is that easy

With that method you are limited to the toggles that htc included. There are more available than you normally see. Including GPS. They are hidden normally. To add your own toggles like flashlight you'd need to hack them in via smali coding.
