Hey guys,
I wonder what I have to do, to enlarge the buttons/icons in the power widget in froyomods notification bar.
The size should be 124x96px.
Height is no problem, but the system resizes the width on its own.
A screenshot, so you might better understand what I mean:

Thanks so far

Glad you like it...
Any idea how to enlarge although?!
...
That looks good, buddy. Can you send me the framework? Any luck with increasing the width.
I'll send it later that day, cause Im celebrating my bday with my girl.
Luca told me he has to re-write the source code, it forces the system to use 6 icons instead of 5, which is the reasonn why a width of 96px is not possible.
Later, mate!

How does this look Nik? 5 icons by default instead of 6 on the galaxy s widget bar? The modified services.jar is attached. See if it helps you.

Finally I ported a piece from a SGSII theme (dont exactly know which one...) and it looks like this!
That really rocks, thats what I expacted!
Really really well done my friend
Just 2 things have to be fixed:
- when using more than 5 icons, the background shines trough the power widget at the edges AND between power widget and providerbar
- indicatorbar has be removed
First point is not a problem when using 5 icons, but when I find a way to remove the inidcators, Im the luckiest guy so far

That shouldn't be a problem. Just send me the framework you are using now. I'll have a look tonight.
Now that my SGSII has arrived, i can literally bash up my milestone.

No problem Luca, ill send you a pm. Involves editing framework-res and services.jar.
Now if you help in getting rid of the indicator and scrollbar, we will have a super Galaxy S widget bar.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Hey luca,
Sileshn helped me to achieve my idea of the larger icons.
He posted a services.jar in this thread which forces the system to show only 5 icons in a row and thats all.
I created some buttons in 124x96px and as you can see, it works well!
Just grab the services.jar from sileshn.
My advice: Is it possible to choose in the next release which icon-type you want to have in the power widget? Cause I know many people who doesnt want that look but the squared one...
// He was faster XD
___
ja, luca.
Maybe you can help with the issues concerning the background, which shines through the power widget, while having more than 5 icons checked to be shown.
Concernnig indicators: I became a hint how to get rid of it
You got your answer, Luca. Framework mod is not necessary. That was checked by Nik. So only need to use the modded services.jar. Changes are in the following file.
com\android\server\status\galaxyswidget\GalaxySWidget.smali
Thanks so.I have only to force max 5 icons ok
That's enough for me doing those change on source code is easier than on smali1!!
The scrollbar is already removed from next release...for the toggle I.think I'll have to think some solution xD
Sent from my HTC HD2
Thats the solution for no indicators under the buttons (I integrated the indicators in the buttons, easier to theme...)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/galaxy_s_widget_button" android:background="@drawable/stat_power_bg" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView android:id="@id/galaxy_s_widget_button_image" android:layout_width="96.0dip" android:layout_height="115.0dip" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_weight="1.0" />

Nik,
Do you have thread for this on AH? If yes, link me to it.

This is something I been working on for the better part of the day. I can use some testers and some fresh eyes from someone thats familiar with smali.
What this mod does is add a am/pm toggle switch in settings apk. This allows you to remove am/pm as you please. This mod consist of services.jar and settings.apk. This was orginaly created for the vibrant from s0niqu3 and his thread can be found here
On my phone the toggle is there in settings/date and time but it dosnt change the status bar like its suppose to. Someone else tested for me and the get a UID mismatch and settings disappear. If you dont know what your doing or how to fix something when it breaks please dont bother flashing this.
Your flashing this at your own risk so dont hold me responsible. Please report back any findings so i can get this to work. The source can be found on s0niqu's thread.

Could always just keep it as a separate flashable for those who want to use it
Can you also add a toggle to just disable the clock entirely? Most of us have clock widgets, sort of redundant to also have it in the notification bar.

True - but there was a working Gingerbread theme for DK28-based CyanogenMod. Not sure how that was done though.
I have no use for this mod as I use 2400 format, but subscribed anyway as I have friends who are still stuck on that backwards time formatting.

Scratch that previous comment... waaay more complicated after looking at the differences in source.. will be quite the project.
It could be almost directly ported I think... my biggest question is do the .line ### differences between the Smali because of the Mod or because they are sourced from different phones..?
I'm reviewing DateTimeSettings.smali right now..

Did you change all the ".line ###" to match? I don't understand the function of the .line commands yet.
The settings.apk changes seem simple in comparison to StatusBarPolicy.smali...
If I had to guess the error is in there somewhere, I don't suppose logcat or anything dumps any useful info?

While I just typically hide the whole notification bar, I wanted to say great work on this mod. I know it bugs alot of people. Honestly, android should include a toggle for the entire clock by default.
All this xml work really makes me miss the window mobile registry... Much simpler days..... Keep up the great work..
mystery bro, this is sick. i'll be looking into it as well hopefully today, would rock to get this working!

Hi all,
is it possible to make statusbar transparent with extended desktop, just like in MIUI roms? I searched a little and tried method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7739623&postcount=53 but didn't make it work. Any suggestions? thx
That Method is for FROYO... This GB which is running the Sensation..

Yes, I noticed slight difference, it does have code const/4 v5, -0x3 but it is not in the line .1773 but .444, and the file is not StatusBarService.smali but StatusBarManagerService.smali. Still, no effect
Here is the example of what I mean (credits to so 77).
I am very interested in this as well.

Hi,
I also want to know. Make some nice stuff with "Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen" And get a transparent status bar! But in the background it seems there are some relief from sense! As you can see in my attachments.
Even the bottom of the notification slider still looks like Sense. Right now I am using Android Revolution HD 1.1.7 with no-Sense.
I try to find something like that but even the MOD I found was from the same ROM developers, so I think they already included it.
I like to have that now
i am also gettin mad for it.....coz now its linked xml as well not only statusbar image in systemui......i tried many times bt failed
Mhh first i thought it's maybe something in com.htc.resources.apk but all the images that should not be shown anymore are stored in SystemUI.apk.
I will try today some options I have in my mind, will let you know!
I have never tried to develop for Android before so maybe I just telling bull****
I decompiled SystemUI.apk where I found my modified header, footer etc. Everything what I want to have. But the old Sense stuff is overlapping it.
As I need com.htc.resources.apk to decompile it I was thinking that it have to do something with that and decompile it as well. I tried to find out if there are some left overs but no image was there. I also tried to find out something in the layout but also there I did not really find something.
Can I change the images there compile the apk again and just push it back to my device and it will work?

Uploading the Sensation's HTC framework into UOT doesn't help?
If not you should ask UOT manager to update the system
I tried, still no success. Any devs to jump in?

Sense and Sensibility Alpha
Alright guys, here it is! This is an ALPHA version of a theme called "Sense and Sensibility." This isn't just to look like sense. The graphics were taken directly from stock sense.
TAKE NOTE: Tested on CM7. SHOULD work on most ROMS but who knows. So BACKUP!
Instructions:
1. Boot into CWM
2. BACKUP
3. Flash SenseSensibility.zip
4. Reboot/Rejoice
Any requests for things to be themed (sense-styled of course) can be made and most likely will be implemented considering I've never owned a Sense phone and don't know what is themed where.
I'd love if someone could tell me where I could change the color of the text in the menu button popup.
Downloads:
v .1: Click me
Themed things:
Header of lists (settings, messaging, etc)
Tabs (dialer etc)
Long press homescreen popup
Power off menu popup
Battery
Checkboxes
Menu button
Selection (turns a nice green) (pictured)
Loading animation popup (spinning circle)
Text box/text box highlight
Send button (SMS)
Text selectors
LOTS MORE (If I forgot any, let me know)
Things to look forward to:
Status bar
Fix menubutton background to make text readable
Dialer!
Widgets?
Make it more Sense-like.

Yeah haha. It's in alpha stage and it's mostly minor enhancements (so far). I also themed when you press down to select something. The major things I'd like to incorporate are a sense dock and lockscreen. These are mostly UI tweaks.

I would love some help. You can flash it and see for yourself, but when you hit the menu button the text of the menu popup cant be read because the menu background is too bright. Do you know I can change the font colour of the menu popup? Haha. Either that or i'll have to edit every menu icon in photoshop and add a title below it
You want to look in framework-res/res/values/colors.xml...you will see the colors for various text, whether its bright or dim text, set against bright or dark background. Remember though, unless you made the change to the textApearance values already, then the background color you would consider will be what it still thinks it is. So my guess would be, maybe dim_foreground_dark

Crap. Im not much for decompiling.
Mr Hat,
I tried this theme with TWO different ROMS (Faux AOSP 1.3.1 and Weapon G2X 2.5)
The after flashing the theme in Recovery and rebooting, I got stuck in the bootloader screen-loop in both roms.
Luckily, I read your instruction and made a backup. Anything else I can try? Do you have a ROM that you recommend other that what I'm using.
First of all, Weapon is a rom based on 2.3.3...this theme is not for that rom. I suggest you do some more reading on the different android versions and the impact on choices of roms, kernels, themes, etc.

Hey man, I recommend you browse this a bit. It goes way in depth to theming.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916814
Decompiling is really easy if you use a GUI like APK Manager, and I use EditPad lite for xml files. Good luck with it; I got burnt out on theming quickly.
i like how poeple are quick to flame you and then they read your post then have to edit. keep up your work. look forward to how this develops.

Thank you for the heads up. I guess I didn't do enough homework.
Mind sharing which ROM you're using? Or maybe toss out a couple ideas? It'd be much appreciated.
Of someone can send me a thorough set of screenshots of what Sense looks like in most aspects of the ui, I will make something happen. Pm me when you have something for me, and I'll give an email to send it.

Blegh, development is probably gonna be slow/might not come. I need to focus on my academics.
Question is: anybody using octane that is interested? maybe some collaboration?
Btw: I started this as just a learning experience, not to Kang any of raver's awesome work.
Pretty much, I'm just interested in playing with the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk, so if anyone has some cool tips or knows of a good tutorial, feel free to chime in.

Word. I'm working on getting the MIUI icons now.
So far I've got:
-Audiophile sound tweaks
-BSGS4g Pull down notification background (Transparent, I like it more lol)
-Almost all notification icons are blue themed (Excluding app notifications)
-Both ADW and ICS launchers pre loaded
-Debloated (A bit more ;p)
-Tegrak profile pre loaded in SD - 1.2ghz OC with UV settings, for anyone who favors tegrak
-Wifi files from the official release. I can't say 100% if its a big difference, but it seems such so far, I normally get ~2-3 bars in my room, and now I have like 4-5. Needs testing.
Not that I'm trying to build a new ROM out of it, just playing, customizing, tinkering... you know ;P
I haven't really found a set of icons from MIUI that I like much yet... you guys want just the plain white icons??
I did find these though
You can add some dimension to the bars in the pulldown which will really make it pop and be unique. Theme looks incredible!
doeblerdan,
Could you possibly post the blue splash wallpaper pictured in that photo? I know its stock with some ROMs, but i switched to a new one recently and its not avaikabke anymore and I'm really missing it!

New pics of where I am at so far... If anyone wants a copy of where I am at the moment to try it out, shoot me a PM and I'll send you a DL link. Itd be nice to get some input from other users to see where I can go next with it ;P
Also if anyone knows how to change the background color of the menu that pops up, for instance when you are on your home screen and hit the menu button, could you please let me know? XD Right now its like a gray, and the letters are almost unreadable =X
EDIT: Uploaded NEW screenshots. mms, dialer, switched to older ICS and colored it all, app icons, etc etc etc.
New updates =)
So far:
-Changed almost every single system icon
-Themed almost every stock app icon
-Themed MMS app
-Colored ICS launcher blue (Everything!)
-Changed Dialer numbers to blue (more visible IMO)
-Themed the pattern lock a bit
-SOME lockscreen theming
-Changed the dropdown notification background(Also transparent), will be changing the text to a nice blue soon.
-Its almost entirely blue/black/white
What needs to be done:
-Menu background coloring (as you can see its grey, with grey lettering, eww) If anyone know an easy way to fix this let me know. So far every method I've tried ends with failure and me getting a new keyboard after bashing my head off of it.
-Dropdown notification text color
-Probably more locker based theme work coming up...
Anything else you guys would like to see in here??

cant wait until you post it. looks nice!
Let me start off saying that this is still a work in progress. With that said it is still fully functional. The only thing I'm having trouble finding is the new message button, which remains black text on a black backround. If anyone has any clues where to find it.. please do share...
Thank you to JSChiSurf for making the original version for froyo..
Thank you Tommy Tomatoe for making things easier with your awesome android utility!
Also thanks to Gruesomewolf for sharing some of his XML skills!

Looks great, thanks much for sharing this. And I agree about the keyboards lol . Looks nice that you made the highlight grey on the HTC_IME.

Let me know if anything besides the new message area looks weird to anyone. I also plan on lightening the green outline a little on the tap to compose area.
I personally wanted this mod, so I tried my best making it. However,I'm open to suggestions.
I display a picture of the attached photo in the compose area because it took some extra work to make it look smooth around the corners.
I found that the quicktext option caused a force close. I found a bad xml file and fixed it. I also changed the compose area border to a more stock color green. Let me know if you guys like it..
sorry for the problem as this is still a work in progress links in OP are updated.
forgot a png in v2..
Edit: just flash it and reboot, you won't loose your messages..
Looks sharp good sir. Very clean and professional. Well done.
What I'm working on now.. first will be grey backgrounds until we find the "new message" and make it white txt.
Grey and ics blue will be first. I have a couple other ideas, but will take some requests too...
I will post it soon.. really busy at work and I have a few more things I would like to do with it.
Also keep in mind these apks still use some button presses from your framework so expect some green unless you have that color theme on your whole rom
Looks like its based of other peoples inverted 1.0 mms's... Not saying it is but this has been done by many people including myself a long time ago... Cho for instance inverted the 1.0 sense and looked much better than you changing every black value to white and taking the bg value and pointing it at a drawable... Very easy actually... When you get into making each value a different hex color thats when it gets complex or you start making the mms.apk independent...Now thats hard! Not that im putting you down but aim for a higher bar man.. Visit the mikmik and check out tommyt's inverted mms now thats true inversion... Each value is different!
Oh and my ics mms inversion is better! start using the right colors my man! B/G on mms for inputfield in ics is #ff333333... Enjoy Ics Blue is #ff33b5e5!
Its about sharing to me. Not whose is better... I used a stock mms.apk from Tommy T's deodex stock rom.
I don't understand the meaning of your post.
Go ahead and provide some links so I can see what your talking about..
As for removing the framework dependancies from the apk.. I am playing around with it.
It is a WIP.. which means work in progress.
Why not point to the values/color.xml if your using the color a lot anyways? Unless you wanted to make a rainbow colored theme..
looks good. Going to give this a try now.
I will put up a back-to-stock.zip up in the morning when I get home from work in case anyone doesn't like it black any more..

Sorry i haven't had much time to try and improve it.,
when i do I will post it in the OP
Busy printing books this time of year
I also added flashable stock zips to the second post
Thanks, it's what I was looking for
I need to fix the msg_input_selected.png with 9patch. It looks funny in landscape when it remains black/grey it is stretched out on the right side. That's easily fixable but I'm sort of waiting on another fix to include along with it.. :thumbup:
It will get better.

OK I fixed the .9.png in the compose area and also added a grey and white one
