[FroyoMOD] Bigger Icons in Notification bar

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!

Happy birthday, dude. Enjoy your day. Don't bother.

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.

Looks good so far, but Im in the train.
If it is No problem for you, might you send me a file in 124x96px?
But only if you have time, dont bother!

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">

[REQ]Faster animations

hi, i wanna make the animations faster, i mean in GB rom, because with faster anim. the roms look faster. i know that if i include spare parts i can set fast animations but screen off anim disappears.. :S i need to edit framework.res but dunno what so i nedd a little help to do this or any other solutions are welcomed

If you put faster animations in it, it will lag, and that doesnt look faster, if you know what i mean.
You can wait for CM10 or AOKP Jelly bean ( I know a guy who got it booting + some things working like Sound and Butter partially)

Inviato dal mio GT-I9001 con Tapatalk 2

Nope, its not Doomsday, Arco or Ivendor Yes, AOKP JB.
Its just based on their sources

The default framerate of the animation is chosen on best results i think, for example when removing 2d fps cap every animation (especially CRT off) is very bugged, the animations themself can be found in apkname.apk/res/anim
example (fade_in.xml)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<alpha android:interpolator="@interpolator/decelerate_quad" android:duration="@integer/config_longAnimTime" android:fromAlpha="0.0" android:toAlpha="1.0"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
The duration of the animation can be found in apkname.apk/res/values/integer.xml
Example:
Code:
<integer name="config_shortAnimTime">200</integer>
<integer name="config_mediumAnimTime">400</integer>
<integer name="config_longAnimTime">500</integer>
The thing that actually makes it look smooth is when there are a lot of frames instead of only a few (best example is the spinner animation, the default one is "laggy" but when adding more frames it suddenly becomes the smoothest spinner of the world)

I think he's probably in some country specific forum, although I think it's very strange that he doesn't have an account here, if you're working on something big like JB AOKP you got to need a xda account! since this is the best android forum that exists

Do you have the skins Serene, Infinite and Fracture from ICS, if so can you share here. The ones i have changed are not working properly. Once i find the correct working method i will post the tutorial as well.

As promised here is how its done. Quite simple actually.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:hasCode="false" android:versionCode="[B]293601280[/B]" android:versionName="[B]1.1.2221363264.508457.407894[/B]" package="com.htc.skin.PaintingTheWorld"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<application android:label="@string/skin_name" android:hasCode="false" />
[B] <skin skinVersion="293601280" />
<HTC-SDK version="4.61" senseVersion="Sense 4.5" />[/B]
</manifest>
This is the AndroidManifest.xml from a Sense 4+ skin. What we need to do is simply change/include those marked in bold in the Sense 4.1 AndroidManifest.xml file.
Some simpler skins smaller in size work really well, while others have small graphical glitches which cant be seen overall. For example if you click the htc clock and if it goes to the globe time, it will simply close after spinning. But if the tab is set to Alarm on first click on the htc clock, then it wont close. This is the only thing which i have noticed. Rest works very smoothly.
Tools? Simply use apktools to decompile and recompile the skin apk. Dont forget to install the frameworks first. Thats all you need if you are playing anything except m10. If you need to play with m10 files, use the great VTS

thanks

Soft keys

Does anyone know if it's possible to reorder the soft key layout? I came from a Galaxy S3, and I'm really use to my back button being on the right of the home button.

Should be possible with root, but you'll have to mess with system files.

Wait for real custom Rom.

Yeah I'm coming from Samsung S2, Note 3 and want the buttons the same as that device
left to right (tap/hold)
menu
home/task list
back/kill app
I've got root, now I just need to know how to make the changes.
Must be pretty straight forward.
(yes I've side-graded to the N5 from the N9005. mum is on the on the Note 2 so giving my Note3 to her and I'll have the same device ans my girlfriend, converting her from iPhone3G to Nexus 5 )

It's very possible. There are some tutorials floating around you should be able to find as well as some apps or framework modules that might be able to do the same thing. Eventually there will be custom roms with this option baked in.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

It's already in some of the ROMs. I have home to the left with voice search on long press, recent apps left center, quick settings right center with main settings on long press, back to the right with kill app on long press. So 4 keys and as I've come from a long line of galaxies myself the back button to the right was never in doubt when I was fiddling the layout. I'm using PSX which looks like it may be shut down but others have the functionality as well.

I use softkeyz app to change icons. But idk about changing the order. But why would you want to

because the back button should be on the right

It's an easy edit if you have the ability to de/recompile systemUI.
Navigate to SystemUI.apk\res\layout\navigation_bar.xml. I didn't like reaching over for the back button so all I did was flip recents and back. To do that all you need to do is reorder the lines in the xml.
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/rot0" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/nav_buttons" android:clipChildren="false" android:clipToPadding="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:animateLayoutChanges="true">

[TUT]Make your own watchface

---Moved Here---​

You sir, are a legend.

I love you!!!
Thanks so much

Dumb question - after you run the Android application via Eclipse and it installs the APK onto the phone, how do you view the watchface? Should it show as a new watchface clock in the customise watchface editor?
Edit: Answered my own question - yes

Are you able to explain how to add a date to the analog clock (e.g. day of the month) and also maybe the month (e.g. Jul for July)
Thanks in advance!

Are you able to explain how to add a date to the analog clock (e.g. day of the month) and also maybe the month (e.g. Jul for July)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Naheel,
I've tried adding the date but without any luck. Nothing is showing up on the watchface. Do I have to add some other code to include the new XML as part of the build? Will the date show above the watch background image or is there the chance that it is on the bottom layer? Also I'm guessing that the text will be white as per the sample code you posted. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks mate! I'll give it a go!
EDIT: Awesome it works!! Thanks once again! Time to update my watchfaces to include dates

I'm glad, Great work

I've been busy making new analog watchfaces and figured out how to offset the dials. Edit the code within \res\layout\clock_widget_analog.xml
How to offset dials
As an example the following code will use a square second hands PNG file, resize it to 45x45px and offset it 82px from the top and 70px from the left. It will continue to rotate around the centre of the PNG file (i.e. around pixel x=23,y=23)
Code:
<include layout="@layout/analog_clock_hand_seconds"
android:gravity="left"
android:layout_marginTop="82px"
android:layout_marginLeft="70px"
android:layout_width="45px"
android:layout_height="45px"
/>

good notice :good:
also you can do that on the "analog_clock_hand_seconds.xml" it self.

Hi Naheel,
I've found a slight bug in the 'date' code you've shared. It cuts off the second digit for double-digit dates for some reason. For the moment I've only found an inelegant hackers way to fix the problem so I won't share my solution. Not sure if you have a better way of fixing it?
Cheers,
Julian

this happen cuz you must add this:
Code:
widgets:template="dd"
and that cause the bug on some devices of showing "00" instead of the real date
also I have another way that I'll try:
Code:
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center" >
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="25px"
android:layout_height="20px"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
widgets:textSize="20px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month_digit1[/COLOR]" />
<com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeView
android:layout_width="25px"
android:layout_height="20px"
android:gravity="center"
android:includeFontPadding="false"
android:textColor="@android:color/black"
widgets:textSize="20px"
widgets:timeType="[COLOR="Red"]days_of_month_digit2[/COLOR]" />
</com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.aef.widget.TimeLayout>

Great tutorial .
Has anyone tried to create a watchface using a string level-list? The Sony clock tutorial implies you can create a levelist a little like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Defines the most significant minute number using a level-list of drawables
that can be referenced when creating clocks. -->
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:string="@string/min_digit_0" />
...
</level-list>
However, Eclipse will throw an error with the use of "android:string". I have tried saving the above XML in the drawable-nodpi folder and had added the appropriate string entries in the strings.xml file.
Any ideas?

Again many thanks for your detailed tutorial, Naheel!
Here is my cyan watchface (2 included)
edit: updated apk to Naheels slim version, thanks :good:

Thanks for testing, could you try the updated apk?
edit: I removed the sonymobile example watchface, added a cyan variation without date

Updated apk is fine, thank you

I tried to make this in drawable:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Defines the least significant hour number using a level-list of drawables
that can be referenced when creating clocks. -->
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:text="one" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="two" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="three" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="four" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="five" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="six" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="seven" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="eight" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="nine" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="ten" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="eleven" android:textSize="20px" />
<item android:text="twelve" android:textSize="20px" />
</level-list>
that had to be the hours but it didn't worked on the watch.
however, you can write what ever you want on png files and use it as a level list
