Hi
i want to know if its possible to get the statusbar of the .244 firmware completly transparent?
Thanks for your help
cheers
Yeah, it's possible
Decompile SystemUI.apk
In apk folder, navigate to "res\values"
Open "colors.xml" and change line:
Code:
<color name="system_ui_opaque_background">#ff000000</color>
to:
Code:
<color name="system_ui_opaque_background">#00000000</color>
Personally, I prefer:
Code:
<color name="system_ui_opaque_background">#50000000</color>
That colors are written in this from: "TTRRGGBB"
TT - Transparency
RR - Red
GG - Green
BB - Blue
Ask if you need anything.

Give me your SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and I'll give it a go.

***This Themer guide should work in any device running android 4.0.4 & +
About NICS Themer
NICS Themer works with Xposed App & X-Themer Engine. It is intended to serve the same purpose as T-Mobile/CM10 Theme Engine. NICS lets you to create own themed apk, my friend neroyoung first develop the idea of it & implemented in his NICS Rom. I am writing a complete guide here to share with you cause I think it's a really useful thing
Requirement
1. X-posed App by rovo89
2. X-Themer Engine by ruqqq
3. My Base.apk
4. Virtuous Ten Studio (VTS) - Official Website
5. A Editing Software like Paint.NET - Download Link
Note: # 1,2,3 are available in 2nd post attachment
Note: for more information about X-posed App & X-Themer Engine visit the official thread.
Main Guide
1. Download & install VTS in default directory & place Base.apk in Desktop
2. Open VTS & click on File>New Project (Right hand top corner). Click on Import tab & locate the Base.apk from Desktop, then click Import. Now click on Project tab & you will see the Project name as "Base", give a Solution name or just name it to "Base" as well. Then press Ok. For better understanding I am providing screenshot with serial number to the task you have to do.
3. You will see now task is running & in some seconds your apk will be decompile successfully. It will look like this, minimize VTS
4. Now go to there where VTS keeps projects. For me it is in C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Virtuous Ten Studio\Projects
Now go inside your project "Base\Data folder.
Inside drawable folder there is a png which is the icon of the apk
Inside xml folder there is a redirection.xml, we have to redirect the packages which we will theme & other xmls need to be write here.
Go inside values folder & delete Public.xml
5. Now lets begin with the guide. As framework, systemUI & Settings are the three most important component of Rom, I will show how to theme & redirect them.
6. Now, 1st decompile Settings.apk which you want to theme to get the resources & pngs from there. Use another tool like Apktool, Xda Auto Apktool or Apk Multitool. Here is a Guide on Apk Multi Tool.
7. Open AndroidManifest.xml of Settings.apk, we need android version & package name of it. Like for my Settings.apk it is
android:versioncode="15"
pacakge="com.android.settings" Remember those or note it down somewhere
Also go to the drawable-hdpi folder of Settings.apk & copy the pngs you want to theme. Note that, according to your phone this drawable folder can be drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi/xhdpi. So according to it make a drawable folder in Data\Res of the decompiled Base.apk
I am creating it in Data\res\drawable-hdpi, & adding the pngs in the folder which I have copied from Settings.apk
8. Now, inside the drawable-hdpi folder rename the pngs with anything you like. To avoid all conflicts I would suggest to add the package name infront of every png. For example, I have taken three pngs from settings. Here are the original & renamed name of them--
ic_settings_wireless.png -------------- com_android_settings_ic_settings_wireless.png
ic_settings_bluetooth2.png ---------- com_android_settings_ic_settings_bluetooth2.png
ic_settings_data.png ------------------- com_android_settings_ic_settings_data.png
9. Now go to xml folder & write a new xml named "com_android_settings.xml" & write according to how many pngs you have taken,
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resource-redirections>
<item name="drawable/ic_settings_bluetooth2">@drawable/com_android_settings_ic_settings_bluetooth2</item>
<item name="drawable/ic_settings_data_usage">@drawable/com_android_settings_ic_settings_data_usage</item>
<item name="drawable/ic_settings_wireless">@drawable/com_android_settings_ic_settings_wireless</item>
</resource-redirections>
Save it.
Here, item name="drawable/ic_settings_bluetooth2" - is the original png name which is inside Settings.apk
@drawable/com_android_settings_ic_settings_bluetooth2 - is the renamed pngs which will replace the original png
So it will look like this,
10. Now decompile SystemUI.apk the same way & get android version & package name from AndroidManifest.xml. For me it is,
android:versioncode="15"
package="com.android.systemui"
Copy the pngs you want to edit from drawable folder & add it to Data\res\drawable-hdpi folder of Base.apk. Now rename the pngs you have copied with the package name attached to the front. Like for a png the original & renamed is-
stat_bluetooth_on.png ---------- com_android_systemui_stat_bluetooth_on.png
11. Write a new xml in xml folder named "com_android_systemui.xml" & write according to how many pngs you have taken-
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resource-redirections>
<item name="drawable/stat_2g3g_off">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_2g3g_off</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_2g3g_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_2g3g_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_3g_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_3g_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_airplane_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_airplane_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_bluetooth_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_bluetooth_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_brightness_auto">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_brightness_auto</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_brightness_mid">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_brightness_mid</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_brightness_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_brightness_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_data_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_data_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_flashlight_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_flashlight_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_gps_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_gps_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_lock_screen_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_lock_screen_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_orientation_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_orientation_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_reboot">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_reboot</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_ring_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_ring_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_screen_timeout_1m">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_screen_timeout_1m</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_screen_timeout_2m">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_screen_timeout_2m</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_screen_timeout_10m">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_screen_timeout_10m</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_screen_timeout_30m">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_screen_timeout_30m</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_screen_timeout_15s">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_screen_timeout_15s</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_screen_timeout_30s">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_screen_timeout_30s</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_shutdown">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_shutdown</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_sync_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_sync_on</item>
<item name="drawable/stat_wifi_on">@drawable/com_android_systemui_stat_wifi_on</item>
</resource-redirections>
Save it.
12. Now decompile framework-res.apk get the package name & android version from AndroidManifest.xml & get the pngs from drawable folder & add them in Data\res\drawable-hdpi folder of Base.apk. My framework's package & version is -
android:versioncode="15"
package="android"
Now rename the framework-res pngs with package name "android" or like I have done. The original & renamed png name is like this for me-
switch_bg_on_disabled_holo_dark.png ------------ framework_res_switch_bg_on_disabled_holo_dark.png
Now open a new xml in xml folder named "android.xml" & write according to how many pngs you have taken to modify
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resource-redirections>
<item name="drawable/switch_bg_on_disabled_holo_dark">@drawable/framework_res_switch_bg_on_disabled_holo_dark</item>
<item name="drawable/switch_bg_on_disabled_holo_light">@drawable/framework_res_switch_bg_on_disabled_holo_light</item>
<item name="drawable/switch_bg_on_holo_dark">@drawable/framework_res_switch_bg_on_holo_dark</item>
<item name="drawable/switch_bg_on_holo_light">@drawable/framework_res_switch_bg_on_holo_light</item>
<item name="drawable/switch_thumb_disabled_focused_holo">@drawable/framework_res_switch_thumb_disabled_focused_holo</item>
<item name="drawable/switch_thumb_focused_holo">@drawable/framework_res_switch_thumb_focused_holo</item>
</resource-redirections>
Save it.
Note that for .9 pngs we won't add .9 to the xml
13. Open redirections.xml in xml folder & we have to write all the package redirections here. In my case I have three packages to redirect.
for Settings --
Code:
<package-redirections android:name="com.android.settings" android:resource="@xml/com_android_settings" android:minSdkVersion="15" />
for SystemUI --
Code:
<package-redirections android:name="com.android.systemui" android:resource="@xml/com_android_systemui" android:minSdkVersion="15" />
for framework --
Code:
<package-redirections android:name="android" android:resource="@xml/android" android:minSdkVersion="15" />
Here android:name is the main package which will be themed
android:resources is the xml from where png's will be redirected & replaced
android:minSdkVersion is the android:versioncode which we got from the main packages
So, the complete redirections.xml is may case will be -
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<theme-redirections
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:pluto="http://www.w3.org/2001/pluto.html">
<package-redirections android:name="com.android.settings" android:resource="@xml/com_android_settings" android:minSdkVersion="15" />
<package-redirections android:name="com.android.systemui" android:resource="@xml/com_android_systemui" android:minSdkVersion="15" />
<package-redirections android:name="android" android:resource="@xml/android" android:minSdkVersion="15" />
</theme-redirections>
Save it. Note that, you need to close redirections with </theme-redirections> to the end.
Also, Remove "/" from the 3rd end of the line. So the 3rd line will be,
Code:
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:pluto="http://www.w3.org/2001/pluto.html">
14. Now go to drawable-hdpi folder where all the renamed pngs are. Open them with Paint.NET & change hue/saturation to the color you want to theme them. crtl+shift+U gives you the option in Paint.NET. When theming is done save all pngs. My drawable-hdpi folder looks like this-
15. Now check once again in Data\res folder.
In drawable folder there should be icon.png which will be the icon for your apk
In values folder there will be nothing as we have deleted public.xml earlier
In xml folder there should be redirections.xml with other xmls you have created
In drawable hdpi folder there will be all the renamed & themed pngs
16. Now maximize VTS window & open AndroidManifest.xml of the Base.apk. In android:label write something you want it to be shown as the apk name. In package name give name according to your color theme. Like for me it is "saqib.themer.green". If you make another one which is orange in color name it to "saqib.themer.orange" so that it doesn't replace the earlier apk when installing. After this, save the xml. For better understanding, I have marked screenshot with serial number-
When you are done press "Build all", it will run a process & create your new apk. CONGRATULATIONS :good: now you have successfully built your own themed apk. Get it from Data\Binary folder of VTS Project.
Attachments
* Download Xposed App & X-Themer Engine from attachment & install them as a normal apk in your device.
* Go to Xposed Installer App click on Install/Update, then go to Modules & tick mark on XTheme Engine. Reboot your device
* Install the newly created apk by yourself as a normal apk. You will find it inside XThemeEngine App. Apply it, it will ask for a soft reboot. After reboot you will see the changes that the app has made.
Here, I am sharing a screenshot after applying my Green themed apk via XTheme Engine

For any more support, I am also attaching the Green_Hulk.apk I have made in the process. If you need to know more or have any confusion download that & decompile it. Your idea & conception will get more clear.
Nice Guide Mate...
Its really helpful for beginner
Nice work saqib,
Nicely written well mannered guide! Detailed enough to make even a beginner themer as pro
Awesome!!
nicely written bro... definitely a beginner would understand it with ease :good:
Awesome guide, bro...
Just a doubt... is it necessary to use vts? Can't I simply use apktool for decompiling the base apk? Im on linux and I dont think vts is for linux..
AJ
Amazing stuff there..Mate..
Keep it up ..Will link in my threads so as more people notice it..
Great guide mate! Keep it up! I'm sure even beginners are able to follow the steps

Thanks..Yes you can use other apk tools too for Base.apk. I have suggested VTS because with VTS when you change AndroidManifest you don't need to sign them or compile with old signature etc..If you use apktool then don't forget to re-sign the base apk

Hi saqib!
For first thank you for the gide!! It was really helpfull for me! But I got an error while I try to build my apk. I dont't know what is the problem, 'cause I did everything as you said (but change my android version to 16). The log says that I have some junk after document element, and I don't know what to do. Any suggestion?
question do you need to set resource file. like say Samsung framework resource would be 1.apk and so on. And if you do. what resource file do we need. from are rom or will it use java and android sdk for the resource files. thanks for this

When you setup VTS it will place some default frameworks which are needed for resources. So you don't need to install frameworks separately for this guide
Congrats for making it on the portal!
You're becoming something like a guru here hehe
Keep it up!
Hi saquib!
Thanks for the reply! I check those line a hundred times, even rewrite it, but no luck
Here's a creenshot, I hope you can figure it out :angel:

You don't have any com_android_settings.xml in xml folder, that's why it is giving trouble. You also don't have android.xml from where the resources will be replaced. Go back to my guide & take a look again, you missed those parts
I don't know why they are not showing in vts, but now they are there (com_android_settings & so on), but android.xml not, and now I see that I have to create that, right? Can you tell me how to that? I check your gide, but can't find that... sorry

rename com_android_framework.xml to android.xml, you have redirected to android.xml but named one xml as com_android_framework
you should download my Green_Hulk.apk which I attached to the 2nd post, it is a complete apk, you should get your concept clear from that apk

ImageRx
@saqib nazm
Thank You for Such an Awesome Guide!
I've just made a script ImageRx that would
1.Add the required prefix to image name and Rename them
2.Also create the required redirection xml
So this Would Automate renaming multiple images with same prefix as needed for NICS themer
Download ImageRx_Madaditya
Also Find my Updated tool Here ToolsX

Hello all, as I am not always available to update this app, I have decided to release a DIY tut so you guys can mod it yourself
Also from this, I hope it will give you guys some idea how to apply these mods to other apps
We shall begin
============
What is needed:
1. APK Tool or APK MultiTool or anything which you can decompile, compile and sign the apk
( Personally I use APK MultiTool and I am going to use that as an example throughout the whole TUT )
2. Java installed on your com to run APK MultiTool
3. Notepad+ or any similar code editing programs
4. Time and patience
Procedure:
1. Firstly, you are going to have to download Twitter apk of course
You can get the APK from PlayStore or apkmirror.com
2. Decompile it using APK MultiTool. Please refer to guides on how to do so if you dont know how
3. Now everything will be decompiled into a folder.
4. First thing we will mod AndroidManifest.xml
#RemovingPermissions
5. Delete the lines of permissions you dont want, eg
Code:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS"/>
6. Save the file
#Changing launcher icon
7. Now we will be changing the launcher icon of Twitter
- Usually you can find out what is the file of the icon by looking into the AndroidManifest.xml
Code:
android:icon="@drawable/[COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]ic_launcher_twitter[/COLOR]"
8. So for Twitter, we will be going to the drawables folder in res and find for ic_launcher_twitter
- Drawables folder can be drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi/xhdpi/xxhdpi and so on
- ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, tvdpi are all screen "size". U will notice the icons in ldpi are smaller while the icons in xhdpi are bigger
- From here you also can theme other icon according to your preference
9. I have uploaded an attachment which consist of TwitterMod Teal launcher icon.
#Changing statusbar color ( For Lollipop )
10. We will create a values-v21 folder in res
- We create this folder so that only Lollipop roms will read this. Learn more here
- If values-v21 folder already exist, skip to next section
11. From the values folder, copy styles.xml to values-v21 folder
12. Now open up styles.xml in values-v21 and search for the base theme ( Hit ctrl+f on your keyboard )
- The base theme for that app usually can be found at AndroidManifest.xml also at
Code:
android:theme="@style/Theme"
- For some apps there is an exeption and may not always work with this base theme
- So improvise yourself and find the second nearest theme in styles.xml
- For Twitter, the base theme somehow is ThemeBase
13. So in styles.xml of Twitter, the base theme should look like this :
Code:
<style name="[COLOR="YellowGreen"]ThemeBase[/COLOR]" parent="@android:style/[COLOR="Red"]Theme.Material.Light[/COLOR]">
- The words in red may vary from different apps
- Please note that Theme.Material.Light is only applicable to v21 folders
- If you see Theme.Holo or something like that in v21 folder, feel free to change it too Theme.Material.Light
- Learn more here
14. Now at that base theme section, add this code
- This will be the color of your status bar, navigation bar and recent app panel app color
- Change the RED code to any color you want. I have some reference for you down there
Code:
<item name="android:statusBarColor">#[COLOR="red"]ffffffff[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#[COLOR="red"]ff000000[/COLOR]</item>
<item name="android:colorPrimary">#ff123456</item>
[U]Color Code[/U]
Black - FF000000
White - FFFFFFFF
Teal - FF009688
[URL="https://www.google.com/design/spec/style/color.html#color-color-palette"]More colors[/URL]
15. Save the file
#Make the app fun ( You can skip this if you want )
16. Now open up strings.xml in values folder
17. Change what you want accordingly with some common sense
18. Now we will add some credits to yourself and maybe me?? :cyclops:
19. Goto xml folder and open up preference.xml
20. Add this line here
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/[COLOR="SeaGreen"]twittermod_title[/COLOR]" android:key="about" android:summary="@string/[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]twittermod[/COLOR]" android:order="1004" />
</PreferenceScreen>
21. Open strings.xml and add this code anywhere
Code:
<string name="[COLOR="SeaGreen"]twittermod_title[/COLOR]">[COLOR="Red"]BLABLA[/COLOR]</string>
<string name="[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]twittermod[/COLOR]">[COLOR="red"]BLABLA[/COLOR] </string>
22. Save it
#Finally
23. Now everything is done, compile and sign the app using APKMultiTool or whatever
24. If their is an error compilling, check what it is and post here for help
- I will do my best to reply in a short time
25. Install it and feel proud of yourself.
26. Fail and errors will exist and always, you can come here for help
I might have missed out something so it would be great if someone point it out
Next ( probably ) there will be a tut for KitKat translucent statusbar and for Facebook and Instagram
Thanks to :
Twitter for their apk
Google for their codes
reserved 1
mine also
thank you very much
Hello to everyone.
Material Recent for Gingerbread
Made by zhaozihanzzh（ME Failed Coder）, Open source
Created 2018-07-24
Last updated 2018-08-10
Note: If your native language is Chinese, you can go to this thread.
Hello guys. I have been making this material recent for a while. The project is based on @tentenponce 's SwipeRecentApps and ZieIony's library MaterialRecents. And I used m0r0's code to fix some bugs. I am a noob, but after many days' work I finally managed to get the performance improved and be able to convert it into framework. I made a short video for this: https://mega.nz/#!JJUVyYpL!cHySc82VtXUZpKVJGdVSHq6bLzQ0VE6q4Do3AcXTXIo
Features:
- Show the latest 7 recent apps
- Click to launch the application, swipe the card to try ending a process and long press the card to open application settings
- Click the clear button to launch an activity which is used to end processes
To start with, you need:
- Decompile / Recompile experience
- A rooted Android 2.3 with a process management app (the same as SwipeRecentApps)
- To be able to run Apktool 1.5.2
Before doing this, make sure you have a backup and are able to unbrick your phone.
Attachments: https://mega.nz/#!FdlyGYyQ!qP6-BUWGeVhWMbnBaLO3A839hhyE69qGbiWKJREbYas
Steps:
1. Decompile framework-res.apk and unzip the res folder to your decompiled files. (If your phone is not MDPI, you can manually resize the clear icon and put it under the proper drawable-??dpi folder.)
2. Open res/values/ids.xml and add the following lines before :
Code:
<item type="id" name="materialrecents_recentContent">false</item>
<item type="id" name="materialrecents_recentTitle">false</item>
<item type="id" name="materialrecents_recentIcon">false</item>
<item type="id" name="mainlayout">false</item>
<item type="id" name="materialrecents_recentHeader">false</item>
<item type="id" name="taskman">false</item>
<item type="id" name="noapps">false</item>
<item type="id" name="recent_frame">false</item>
Note: if you have done tenten's SwipeRecentApps you will find some ids already exist and you shouldn't add them.
Then, open res/values/strings.xml and add the following line before :
Code:
<string name="kill_app">The process has already been tried to end.</string>
3.Recompile framework-res and decompile the generated apk file and open the decompiled res/values/public.xml.(You can sign the generated framework-res apk properly and then let the apk wait for a while) Search for the item name below and write down their names and values:
Left: type Right: name
"color" transparent (I think this ID is same in all android devices, so maybe we can ignore it)
"layout" recent_apps_dialog
"id" taskman
"id" noapps
"id" mainlayout
"string" no_recent_tasks
"id" recent_frame
"string" kill_app
"layout" material_recents_card
"id" materialrecents_recentTitle
"id" materialrecents_recentIcon
"id" materialrecents_recentHeader
"id" materialrecents_recentContent
4. You need to have NineOldAndroids in your framework jars. Maybe some other guides you have done already add these library smalis to your framework.jar or android.policy.jar, such as the "nineoldandroids" in Ripple Effects on Button or "tentwentyoldandroids" in SwipeRecentApps. Therefore, if you already have this library, then you don't need to add my smali/com/noas folder and you should use a uniform path and name.（For example, if your path is com/nineoldandroids, then you should replace all the "com/noas" in all the smali files in smali/com/android/ and smali/tk/ with "nineoldandroids". By the way, in order to prevent Apps from loading the system NineOldAndroids instead of loading it from their own dex, I suggest not using "com/nineoldandroids".) If your ROM doesn't have nineoldandroids, or you don't understand what I am saying, then decompile android.policy.jar and merge the smali/com/noas folder.
5.Decompile android.policy.jar (If you have decompiled this in the 4th step, you don't need to decompile it again) and backup all the smali files related to recentapps and delete them. Then merge smali/com/android folder and smali/tk folder to your smali. After that, open smali/com/android/internal/policy/impl/RecentApplicationsDialog.smali and replace all the id numbers (commented with "#") with your own numbers which you have written down before. Notice that you should remove the first "0" after "0x", for example, if your id is 0x01080388, you are supposed to add "0x1080388" to your smali file. Do the same operation to smali/tk/zielony/merecents/RecentsList.smali.
6. Open smali/com/android/internal/policy/impl/RecentApplicationsDialog$100000001.smal and replace "com.sec.android.app.controlpanel" with the package name of your task management app, and replace "com.sec.android.app.controlpanel.activity.JobManagerActivity" with the task management activity of your application.
7. Recompile android.policy.jar and sign correctly. Push the modified android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk into system.
Source code: https://github.com/MeCreationTeam/ME_MaterialRecent.
If you want to compile it from source and decompile it into system by yourself, make sure the code
Code:
window.setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_DIALOG);
in onCreate method in RecentApplicationsDialog.java uncommented. I commented this line only for directly build apk and testing. And the class path in source code is different from my smali.
Note: If you face problem when using horizontal screen, try to change the value of paddingLeft and paddingRight in the RelativeLayout in res/layout-land/recent_apps_dialog.xml according to your screen.
In fact, I don't have much time, so I am sorry that if you have some questions, probably I cannot help you.

Good job
Do you still want to swipe to kill process? I managed to get swipe work in this recent dialog(I wrote the code myself so maybe some bugs). Check the updated OP to get the new feature.
