I would love to put the turbo command center on the lock screen... But I know just enough about this stuff to get myself in trouble. So I read... And read... And read. This will be yet another I'll have to follow.

Once the image is copied into the folder,
rename pic file from xxxxxx.jpg to keyguard_wallpaper
if there is already a file called keyguard_wallpaper rename that file as keyguard_wallpaper.bak

lol....
well you only have to customize the first/front app icons in folder
i used this website to edit
http://pixlr.com/editor/
just use the eraser set to desired brush size and round off the bottom left side till its no longer over lapping the ring...lot of trial and error to make it perfect
once you get just right. If its a png image make sure you save as png so you don't lose any transparency
if you want upload the images i can mess with but try yourself first

[Q] [Solved] SystemUI.apk modifications/ failed attempt to uncenter the clock

Hey guys,
So I decided to take a stab at altering SystemUI.apk to uncenter the clock, but I've run into some problems. Just FYI, I am total noob at this so I could be doing something incredibly stupid, but oh well.
Anyway, I was able to successfully decompile the apk, edit res\layout\status_bar.xml to set <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock... android:gravity="right">, build the apk again, sign it, and push it to my phone, however after all that the status bar just does not show up. I don't think it's the decompiling, building, or signing that's messing up because I performed all of those without editing any of the xml files, pushed it to my phone, and everything worked perfectly.
So what am I missing? Is changing "center" to "right" really enough to kill the statusbar? Do I need to edit something in framework-res.apk or some other file to be compatible with the new SystemUI.apk? Or is it that I need to change something in the smali folders as well as the res folders for it to work?
Any ideas that you guys have would be awesome. I'm not sure if I'm just missing something simple, or if I'm in way over my head with this stuff and need to do more than the hour and a half research and trial and error that I've put in so far =) Thanks guys!
There's a bit more to it than that
There's some moving around to do too.
I attached the original status_bar.xml for you to compare to. (it's already decompiled)
If you wanted you could just replace it with this one. Thought it might help to see what all was changed.
(the attached zip file is not flashable)
Don't sign system apps either. Signing may be why it isn't showing up but I've never signed a system app to know and without looking at it I think you need to put right|center not just right and I am not positive but you may need to move the padding of the status bar icons to the left so there is no overlap.

Easy guys. Just take a stock systemui.apk and move /res/layout/status_bar.xml over to the modded one. Then push. Don't even need to decompile.

Hmm, something is still wrong. I tried editing the status_bar.xml again, but the status bar still wouldn't show up. Then I deleted the file that was there and pasted in the stock status_bar.xml that Kane posted, pushed it to my phone, and still no status bar/notification pull down. Am I not compiling the apk right?
I'll be on IRC for the next 40 minutes or so if anyone wants to hop on and help me out =)
Did you compile the apk after replacing the XML?
Sent from my VS910 4G using Tapatalk 2
Yup, I actually finally got it to work and just need to tweak a couple things. I took the SystemUI.apk from the latest ICK.zip update, modified the SystemUI.apk file, then created a flashable zip for it. I don't know if it was using a flashable zip that worked, where just using adb push didn't, or if starting over with a different SystemUI.apk was what did it.
@kane: BTW, do you know the hex color code for your ICK theme icons? I was trying to match the color for the clock, but it's slightly off. And Thanks for the stock apk, without comparing the two, I never would have figured out the format for putting the clock back =)
@beamer: Thanks for the heads up to not sign the apk, worked without doing so. That was an annoying step anyway =)
the stock ICS colors are 33B5E5 and 0099CC
I used 33B5E5 for all the edits I did in the ICK theme
0099CC is a little bit darker
I didn't read the whole post but after pushing systemui did you reboot if you don't reboot you won't get a statusbar

I did. I'm thinking the problem was actually the dalvik-cache, maybe? After i got the clock right aligned, i tried to hide some of the status icons like mute and the alarm clock, but i couldn't get any of them hidden and it was driving me crazy. Then i decided to wipe dalvik and it worked perfectly.

Noo. Not the picture of the circle.
I want to enlarge the space to use the lock pattern.
It's kind of small on CM7. And the date and time take up too much space.
So i want to resize the space that the date and time take, and enlarge the lock pattern.
What xml's am i supposed to mod.
Thanks.

Ok. So in this case, i'm supposed to mod keyguard_screen_unlock_portrait.xml.
I want to edit the margin. So I guess i manually delete the date and clock. But how do i extend the lock pattern.
I delete the whole Relative Layout?
And In lock pattern am i supposed to reset the margins?
I've attached the .xml for reference, if you can tell me what to mod, it will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Any answers?

You could try a lock screen replacement. I've never used one but from the descriptions on the play store one of these might give you what you are looking for.

[APKs] The KitKat we didn't get

Nothing special here, just a couple of apks to get us closer to the correct KitKat look.
There is an updated MotLauncher2.apk that has the transparent status bar enabled. In addition, it was modified to remove the dock divider, and use the KitKat apps icon. Also, a 5th icon row was added, but over(under)laps the QSB making it unusable. I only made the change to fix the uneven spacing of the stock 4 row launcher.
There is also an updated SystemUI.apk that replaces the awful signal icons VZW stuffs down our throats with the stock icons from KitKat. All of the other status bar changes were accomplished with Xposed and GravityBox. It should be noted, stock only uses a 4 bar signal, so technically I cheated and used the 4bar for both level 4 and 5.
I am not responsible if you can't follow instructions and brick or otherwise render your phone inoperable!
You must be rooted and on KitKat.
How to install:
Download files
Reboot into Safestrap
Make a backup (just in case)
Select Mount and check System
Open a command prompt (terminal) and navigate to location of downloaded files
Code:
adb shell
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.odex
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex
adb push MotLauncher2.apk /system/priv-app
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
Reboot
This was something I did for myself. I will not be making any other modifications or make any custom versions of these so please don't ask. I will attempt to assist anyone having trouble getting it on their system, but it's pretty straight forward and I'm not in the habit of hand-holding.
Enjoy!

Can I ask what mods you did to SystemUI to get the AOSP look? I want to do my own mod, but changing the same bools.xml values as I've been doing for the Moto X hasn't worked out completely, and still left me with the ugly huge space next to the signal bars. Also, did you find what makes the icons continue to turn blue and show activity arrows like on JB? Thanks!
Replaced all the drawables with the stock ones from kitkat. The vzw versions are wider, which is why you get the ugly gap.
As far as them turning blue, that is gone from kitkat, but if you use the JB icons, you can emulate the functionality. To make it "really" work like JB, you'd have to rewrite the network controller classes. They were heavily modified for the vzw icons to work.

Next to the signal bars, the extra space for signal icon or letter such as "H" or "E". In your screenshots it's gone like on Nexus phones and stock KitKat, but flashing the SystemUI from the OP leaves me with it

I don't have any idea on non-vzw networks. You should be able to just look at them and see what matches up to what you see in the status bar.
