Although not specific but it's mentioned in de OP.
Just download the settings apk and replace it by any explorer with root access.

Works on new rom 2.3.3 as u say. That's

perfect. Use root explorer to copy over.. make sure the permissions are set right, I usually just copy them from any apk in the same folder, basically read all users and write for root. Reset file system as read only again using the button in root explorer. Lol didn't even have to reboot!!
Looks good too, thank-you.

I know how to make the Settings black or transparent but I want to put a background behind it. I tried lots of ways but they don't work.
Do you know how to do it?
thanks

[Mod][Transparency] Sense Settings Menu - Custom Transparency+Background

Hey gang!
I had a couple users ask me how this is done and this is how in a few simple steps!
This will not be a comprehensive how-to for apktool and/or android-utility. There are many many guides! Consult here for awesome advice!
For this to work, you need these tools:
apktool by Brut.all
Alternately, you can use Android Utility by yours truly (for Mac OS X and Linux)
Java JRE and JDK (for apktool to work)
Text Editor (Bluefish or Gedit on Linux works wonders, TextWrangler on Mac OS X, Unsure for Windows)
A bit of Knowledge on android references to styles and framework
That should be it!​
First, acquire those tools above.
Second, acquire frameworks-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from your ROM (either adb pull or simply from the rom.zip you downloaded)
Third, for our intents and purposes, I will be working from a directory on the Desktop called SettingsCustom. So place all three files into that directory.
Fourth, let's get down to the commands for dissembling the apk:
Code:
cd $HOME/Desktop/SettingsCustom
# the following "for" command is a one-liner, just copy and paste entire command into terminal
# hint, to copy and paste inside terminal, use CTRL+SHIFT+C and CTRL+SHIFT+V
for a in framework-res.apk com.htc.resources.apk ; do apktool if $a custom ; done
apktool d -t custom Settings.apk Settings
Fifth, I will list the files you need to edit and what to do add to them one by one. This is for setting a custom transparency but not a custom background. It will use the current wallpaper.
Settings/AndroidManifest.xml:
ORIGINAL:
Code:
<application android:theme="@style/Theme" android:label="@string/settings_label" android:icon="@com.htc:drawable/common_app_ic_launcher_settings" android:taskAffinity="" allowSkinChange="false" pluto:isThemeable="true">
CHANGE TO:
Code:
<application android:theme="@style/Theme.Custom" android:label="@string/settings_label" android:icon="@com.htc:drawable/common_app_ic_launcher_settings" android:taskAffinity="" allowSkinChange="false" pluto:isThemeable="true">
Settings/res/values/colors.xml:
ADD LINE:
Code:
<color name="classic_transparent">#7f111111</color>
Keep in mind for this one you can make the transperancy whaever you choose! 00 is full transperancy and 7f is roughly 50%. I like 50%.​Settings/res/values/styles.xml:
FIND:
Code:
<style name="Theme">
<item name="htcPreferenceStyle">@style/HtcIconPreference</item>
<item name="htcCheckBoxPreferenceStyle">@style/HtcIconPreference.HtcCheckBoxPreference</item>
</style>
ADD DIRECTLY UNDER:
Code:
<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/classic_transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
</style>
Keep in mind it you can technically paste that chunk anywhere but it is cleaner code-wise to keep like snippets close togther.​Settings/res/values-hdpi/styles.xml:
ADD TO BOTTOM OF FILE [before </resources>]:
Code:
<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/classic_transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowShowWallpaper">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
</style>
Sixth, the following is what you need to do to add a custom background instead of having to use the wallpaper:
Hang tight. Coming later. This is rather easy but I want to make sure I have the best way possible​
I really hope this helps you some! If you know of a more efficient way to do this let me know. I know that you can just reference the styles Theme.Wallpaper from framework-res but that is tricky because you cannot set a custom transparency without having to edit framework-res.apk as well. This way, all of your work is localized inside Settings.apk.
This is for Sense based Settings.apk. I am pretty certain AOSP will be different.
Enjoy the possibilities...

Once again thanks for the write up Tommy! I seem to be all out of thanks for the day, but will definitely hit you up with my next daily allotment.

Awesome will try it just for the heck of it.

Your a great dev Tommy! Thanks for taking it one step further to teach others.

I'm not sure it was referenced (or maybe I didn't undersand), but how would you change the text color? Which files would you change?

This guide was solely for the background. The text color is controlled by either colors.xml within settings.xml or in com.htc.res. I haven't tried yet so I can't tell you for sure.

I am not sure but I think the text color in the setting is in the framework and then you end changing it in other place too but I am not sure I could be wrong

Transparent widgets
Can you use the same idea to make transparent widgets for evo4g sense 3.5 ?

Hi Tommy - I just stumbled over this thread and wanted to say Hi. I always used a slightly different approach and added my custom styles to framework-res and used a png as background in order to be flexible with gradients or whatever I needed.
In settings in Android.Manifest.xml it was pretty similar, but refered to the custom style in framework-res.apk
PHP:
android:theme="@style/Theme"
in
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Custom"
In framwework-res I added the following style to styles.xml plus a background png (hestheone.png)
PHP:
<style name="Theme.Custom" parent="@style/Theme.Wallpaper">
<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/hestheone</item>
That is very flexible and I can always refer to my custom style in other apk`s, whenever i need to change to that bg. Having said that, your approach is certainly better for individual mods - my version makes sense for full Themes (if only m.10`s wouldn`t be locked...).

Hey stranger!
Yeah the framework-res method is definitely more portable to an entire theme. I figured this method was easy enough for most users to follow without messing up any other aspects of their theme/Rom.
Can't wait to see you at it again once m10 is cracked

[GUIDE][MOD] [I9500]WHITE Themed APK --UPLOADED [Flashable Zip Attached]

Apart from secsettings, I will also post a guide to other apk's so that themers can make a VRtheme! It will work on all the variants of Galaxy S4. Though the changes look huge, but it is pretty small only...so dont be scared by looking at code!:laugh: It is tested on GT-I9500 MF3 FW. I have also attached a secsettings.apk for I9500 (MF3 FW) flashable zip for deodexed rom.
Anyway major change is very simple all we need to change is from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light. This is only change which controls all other apks apart from some png's. So themers can give a try.
Some hidden secrets for themers:
1. You can make the entire apk / rom/ fraemwork to white by just modyfying the styles.xml from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light
2. To make any app to work in full window (I mean to hide statusbar), all we need to do is add a following line at the beginning of styles.xml and by default the app works in full window
PHP:
<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>
Download Link
This flashable zip works only with GT-I9500 deodex roms only. If you have odex, then delete the odex files and then flash the zip. I have not tested on any other variants, so odnt scream on me if it doesnt work. Only call recording mod is not enabled, which i will upload today evening. Mirrors are welcome. For secsettings.apk, the download link is avaibale at the bottom of this post.

I tried all other apks and everything is coming white with small change in xml. I guess you can try as well! Tonight i will try to edit the framework as well (oops I just done it and need to change the secondary color and framework is also done), in the mean time, here you go the myfiles...still the work needs to be done though...

I use vrtheme but i cant use that for settings because the value folder is hidden in the apk
Any help with that please mate ?

Does your guide also only work for Deodexed Rom?

it wworks with odexed as well, because i am not making any changes in classes.dex, hence you can follow the guide with no problems... Let me reveal the secret..
all the apks and framework xml's needs to be changed from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light in styles.xml and twseconadry and primarycolors needs to be changed. Thats all, you will have white theme of entire samsung ROM
Another Hidden secret! TO make any app to work in full window. Navigate to styles.xml and add the following line
<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

Bro, i am not much in to themeing, I am only interested in coding...but somehow (I love white though) i got motivated to make this theme by editing xml files...i guess, you can contact vertumus , propably he can help you...
edit: I guess it can be done, as i remember DARKY ROM / ALLIANCE ROM scripts works like vrtheme and they use the same for themeing...i will check tonight

there is many things in settings that still has white text, if you were to use a pure white background then there is a lot in the sub menus that would be unreadable. I think the project is just far to big for myself to make a complete theme, its just to complex
Thanks anyway

it wworks with odexed as well, because i am not making any changes in classes.dex, hence you can follow the guide with no problems... Let me reveal the secret..
all the apks and framework xml's needs to be changed from Theme.DeviceDefault to Theme.DeviceDefault.Light in styles.xml and twseconadry and primarycolors needs to be changed. Thats all, you will have white theme of entire samsung ROM
Another Hidden secret! TO make any app to work in full window. Navigate to styles.xml and add the following line
<style name="Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light">
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
</style>

All xml files from values* folders end up in 'resources.arsc'. It would be a nightmare if one couldn't change values here but it's for sure not a problem for vrtheme.

[Guide][Mods] SystemUI

Hello Everybody!
Just wanted to write a guide for the systemUI mods because I learnt it the hard way, but I really Don't want others to learn like that when it can be done in a much easier way.

You have a few redundant steps. You only need to set the vertical to 0.0dip in Statusbar_expanded.xml for brightness and volume stubs. You dont need to do anything else in any other files

Not Exactly.. Try it out, you will understand Why I have written! Obviously not a waste of time!

Recent apps button? Is it possible?

I know I ask this a lot throughout the threads, but do you foresee a way to remove the AM/PM through this method? Or would it be elsewhere? Or possible at all...

Hello!
I am trying to get rid of teh volume slider, but i cannot seem to find Statusbar_expanded.xml nor volumeslider_layout.xml.
i have checked in both framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk
framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk i pulled from /system/framework/...
What am i missing?

You are Missing the SystemUI.apk ! hehehe

There is no Statusbar_expanded.xml in the LGSystemUI.apk however there is a status_bar_expanded.xml
should that work?
I have i international version of the G2
Thank you in advance!
Edit:
It worked like a charm

You can merely flip the volume slider off in dimens.xml under values, FYI.

My bad. I mean bools.xml in /values once you "apktool d" against SystemUI. There is a simple true/false boolean value to dictate the appearance of the slider.

Thats right.. but this is another method. As said in OP many different ways friend..

for transparent status bar ?

I'm slightly familiar with editing xmls, etc, having done some work with the S3. I was able to edit my SystemUI.apk to have the statusbar look completely AOSP (no Verizon 4GLTE, etc):
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What would I need to do for the G2? I'm getting it on Wed. is it as easy as replacing the .pngs or are there smali edits.
Thanks!

See easiest way is what I prefer.. I shall post what to do..

You guys should really consider using Xposed.
This way any modifications you make on your currect G2 build, will probably still work on future versions of LG firmware as well.
I'm not a modder or developer, atleast not for android, but the power of Xposed is really compelling.

Always backup any original file before modifying. If your phone doesn't boot push that backup to your phone.**
REQUIRED:
--Android SDK
--APK Tool
--WinZIP
--NOTEPAD
STEPS:-​-- Download the attached ZIPowner.zip
--Decompile your Setting.apk folder
​--and replace mine res folder with yours
Code:
<PreferenceCategory android:layout="@layout/preference_category" android:title=" INFO " />
<Preference android:focusable="false" android:clickable="false" android:layout="@layout/lenox_pic" />
Below this line
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
IT will look like this
​
Open res/values/ids.xml and add these at the end
<item type="id" name="image">false</item>
<item type="id" name="owner">false</item>
<item type="id" name="linear_layout">false</item>
<item type="id" name="profile_pic">false</item>
<item type="id" name="layout1">false</item>
<item type="id" name="change_picture_text">false</item>
<item type="id" name="photo_picker">false</item>

<item type="id" name="name_field">false</item>
<item type="id" name="name_edit">false</item>
<item type="id" name="profile">false</item>
<item type="id" name="profile_name">false</item

<string name="change_pic">Change profile picture</string>
<string name="profile_pic">SET PROFILE PICTURE</string>
<string name="profile_name">CHANGE PROFILE NAME</string>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now recompile the apk and decompile it again. Now open the public.xml and find these ids.These may not be the same in your apk
-- Now, Copy the "b16h22" folder to \smali\com\(here)
Below are the most imp. steps:
This step is for matching the codes found in public.xml with that in smali foder.
1. Open each Smali files one by one which you copied now.
2. Also open Open the PublicPre.xml provided by me and Public.xml of ur current ROM in which u had registered the ID's.
3. In your smali files, find the id codes like 0x.......
4.Search dis in PublicPre.xml.
5.Copy the Item name related to dis code and search dis in ur current Public.xml.
6. And finally copy the Id of that ITEM name and replace with that in your Smali file.
7. Do the above steps with each ID codes in each Smali..
Now open the res/xml/ settings.xml
and add this iconpreferencescreen.You can add it anywhere you want.I'm assuming you have basic knowledge about preference xmls.
<com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen android:title="Owner Profile" settings:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_owner">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.b16h22.Profile" />
</com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now open the res/xml/ Open AndroidManifest.xml and add this
[QUOTE]<activity android:label="@string/change_pic" android:name="com.b16h22.Profile">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
[/QUOTE]
10. Now you are done with modifications. Recompile and sign the settings.apk with kitchen​
Here is the last step
you have to disable signature check otherwise settings will not work
Here is My Guide
Decompile /system/framework/services.jar,
open com/android/server/packagemanagerservice.smali, look for
.method checkSignaturesLP([Landroid/content/pm/Signature;[Landroid/content/pm/SignatureI
.registers 10
.parameter "s1"
.parameter "s2"
.prologue
.line 1921

Hmm.....okay. I guess this mod will only work on GB because this code is only for GB, not for JB.
Code:
<com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen android:title="Owner Profile" settings:icon="@drawable/ic_settings_owner">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.b16h22.Profile" />
</com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>

may be it will work

</header>

Would it be worthwhile trying to create a collections of settings.apk files for various phones on various networks? Then the uninitiated, like myself, would be able to try this too
