[TUT][cyanogenMod 7] How to add soft button to your rom

thank to autoradio for astuce
Hello all there is tut for all want to add soft button to Rom
is simple
decompile [7zip] framework-res.apk..go to res\values\ ...
in values creat an txt file name it bools.txt open with text editor and add
Code:
<bool name="cm_default_is_tablet">true</bool>
<bool name="cm_default_has_soft_buttons">true</bool>
save and rename bools.txt to bools.xml now
add PNG on drawable-mdpi and resize it [ PNG soft button pic it from ics or web ]
rezip your framwork-res.apk [ winrar right clic save zip rename it change zip by .apk
that all
and enjoy soft button
if you dont have soft button add him on drawable-mdpi and resize it and add it to drawable-ldpi that all
PS : if you dont find values folder in your framwork-res.apk just creat new folder name it values and creat bools.xml in values folder

is this work for custom rom based on stock?
can you make it works?

tested on cm7 work now test it on stock rom and feed

To what size do we resize the soft buttons pictures?
And am guessing this would work on any device running cm7/cm9 right?

where can I download the softbuttons png?

Using a zip software [7zip etc..] != decompiling.
if u dont see the values folder it's because u've not decompiled/decoded the apk but just extracted it.
need to use apktool.

Guys, just want to share. check my mods here:

what if our rom (cm9) already has a bools.xml in res/values?

bools.xml and value already existe in cm7 but with 7zip is nor find it but if you decompile with apk decompiler you find it

So what, do i delete it and create a new bools.xml?
Or do i just add the lines you mention in the bools.xml that's already there?
Fyi, i decompiles framework-res.apk with APKTool.

You find the folder values inside the folder res.
Make sure you decompile the apk.

go to my mod here I have rearranged toggles you may like. Otherwise you need to decompile systemui.apk and in res/values edit the arrays.xml

did you decompile your SystemUI.apk using apktool or any similar tool?

After decompiling go to res > values folder... then open Arrays.xml with Notepad++ and take a look at "QuickSettingButtonAttribute"
Rearrange them to your preferences.... and below is mine:
Code:
<string-array name="QuickSettingButtonAttribute">
<item>Wifi</item>
<item>Bluetooth</item>
<item>MobileData</item>
<item>SilentMode</item>
<item>AutoRotate</item>
<item>Location</item>
<item>Sync</item>
<item>PowerSaving</item>
<item>AirplaneMode</item>
<item>DormantMode</item>
<item>AllShareCast</item>
<item>MultiWindow</item>
<item>DrivingMode</item>
</string-array>

when you recompile, name it SystemUI1.apk then open the new one and original one both with 7zip and copy the META-INF and the AndroidManifest.xml from the original over to your new SystemUI1.apk and close 7zip. move the new one to your desktop and rename it to remove the 1 from the name then copy to your phone and push to system/apps and set permissons and reboot. should work then. it is boot looping due to not having it signed proper. Hope you have a back up of your system with twrp or cwm so you can restore how it was. good rule; back up, everything always I going bed, check how it goes tomorrow..

All resolved...thank you for everything! :good: :highfive: :laugh: :victory:

Taiwaneese?

It works in Xperia V Lt25i with storck firmware 9.2.A.2.5?

How does it really differ? What is improved over the older versions? I mean is there a benefit for the user, ergonomics, functions, fuel consumption? Or is it just the higher version number?

you need to decompile the systemui.apk . then you can find smali, xml and png files where you can edit:silly:

Does it need a deodexed rom?

Here Stock Xperia T Rooted 4.3 reporting that work just by moving .apk file, set permission and replace into system folder. It doesn't FC so far at all. No need to flash on CMW in my case.
Transparency by Xposed.

Installed secssufully on Xperia V.

[Lockscreen clock] Not thin

Hello everybody !
So, it's not a big problem, but i love having a clock with a thin display for the minutes.
But now with 5.1.1 update, my clock has a bold display for the minutes.
What can I do ?
Is it a new change from Sony ?
Thx for reading
-A french boy

Could be a bug or a feature. What i have seen is all 5.1 firmwares has it.

It seems to be affecting everyone - no known fix yet.
I'm guessing it's just a bug, because the Sony Clock widget on the Home screen is still the same.

Any way to get the version from LP 5.0 back? I have root.

Decompile SystemUI.apk
Open res/values/styles.xml with Notepad++
Find somc_sony_clock_minute_style and edit :
Code:
<style name="somc_sony_clock_minute_style" parent="@style/SonyClockBaseStyle">
<item name="android:textSize">@dimen/somc_sony_clock_minute_digit_size</item>
<item name="android:maxLines">1</item>
<item name="android:fontFamily">x-sst-ultralight</item>
Then go res/values/dimens.xml
Find sony_clock_hour_digit_bottom_margin and edit :
Code:
<dimen name="sony_clock_hour_digit_bottom_margin">-25.0dip</dimen>
Save both, recompile your SystemUI.apk and push it to your device.
Reboot and enjoy your new clock

could you upload the compiled systemui.apk for Z1 compact android 5.1.1 please?

Is there any way to do this trick with Z3 D6653 version? Because there is no /values directory in /res. I just unziped the SystemUI.apk file with WinRAR, is there a proper way to do it?
This clock issue is really annoying.

Can someone make a lightweight Xposed module or a zip to flash in the recovery?
