Hi, newbie here. I have this Rom but I would like to transfer the notification bar, off menu and keyboard from another rom into it. How do I do it?

Unfortunately you can't just simply transfer the notification bar, and by "off menu" I assume you mean the power menu. The keyboard on the other hand should be pretty easy to transfer. To transfer the keyboard look in the ROM you want for latinime.apk or a similar named file, then take that apk and install on the other ROM you want to use it on. Now on to the harder stuff. Transferring the status bar requires de-compiling frame-work.res and making a variety of smali edits as does the power menu. You can check out these guides for a basic idea of how to accomplish this:

I haven't seen this around, so I went ahead and made this for myself, and I decided to share it with anyone who wants it...
I hate the Recent Apps section of the Notification Bar Dropdown... so I removed it.
I wanted the Recent Apps to be removed without having to flash a complete ROM or use some theme.
1. Flash the attached file in CW Recovery
2. Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache
3. Reboot
4. Profit (It will remove the recent apps section)
There are no side-effects that I have noticed.
It was made from the SystemUI.apk from the stock US 2.3.4 Build, and should work on any 2.3.4 build for the Sensation.
There are no other changes in this from stock 2.3.4 besides removing the Recent Apps.
It will work alongside the Battery Mods I made with no issues... One mod does not affect the other.
Let me know if you have any issues.
As always, I'm not responsible if your phone breaks beyond repair and you lose all your data.
Thanks to j4n87 for the smali change required.
Work for me on EagleBlood rom.
It would be helpful.
NoRecents - installed with tiwili - take it, work it, leave it
Hi,
thanks for this mod. As always all actual modifications in existing SystemUI.apk are changed by this installation.
I took both of your modified files in my tiwili-installation method. So all other existing files in SystemUI.apk will rest in peace.
I publish it here because it´s your work, your files; It took 5 minutes for me, that´s nothing to be proud of...

Absolutely. You can't push SystemUI.apk to the apps directory without root.
Thanks for this...finally I can remove it...just a small issue...where I am, there is no 4g network yet...however it is now showing 4g icon on the notification bar, anyway I can change it to 3g icon?

This will also remove the extended quick settings I had installed, flashed the EQS again though, no prob just thought I'd let ya know
Edit: Flashing EQS again, makes the recent apps come back..

That's because both mods modify the same system file. You can only choose one or the other unless the EQS Dec decides to put this in his mod.
sorry.
No worries, thanks for the effort anyways
This does not work on 3.5 SENSE but thank you for your work
EQS-Mod + Recent App
Hey
What do i do if i want the Recent App, with EQS-Mod ?
thanks...... I'll try this app
If any of you want to do it youself.....
1.Pull Systemui.apk from system/app
2.Decompile SystemUI.apk
3.navigate to com/android/systemui/statusbar
3.open up StatusBarFlag.smali using notepad or notepad++ (recommended)
4.Around line 89 (using notepad++) you should see this:
Code:
sput-boolean v0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarFlag;->HTC_RECENT_APP:Z
5. Change v0 to v2.
6. Recompile Systemui.apk and push via adb to system/app or copy to system/app using root explorer.
**NOTE**If using root explorer make sure to set permissions as Owner = Read/Write Group = Read Others = Read. A reboot will be required after pasting SystemUI.apk before you can change persmissions.
7. Reboot and your done!
same outcome for me with p3d had to reflash to get extended settings
I tried this but it appears to remove the entire header bar. That is, there was no pull down bar at all pushing it and rebooting. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have decompiled SystemUI.apk incorrectly and then not signed it before pushing it. What method did you use for decompiling the APK?
I'm having some trouble with decompiling the SystemUI.apk. I get a bunch of "Invalid config flags detected" error when I try to load the com.htc.resources.apk framework; when I try to recompile I get a handful of other errors (related I'd imagine) and it doesn't recompile. Googled around a bit, found similar problems but no answers - any advice?

How are you decompiling the apk...??
Didn't work. Edited what was suppose to be edited and the recent apps still show up....
Has anyone found a way to remove the battery full notification from the 2.3.3 OTA Rom? I know this has been asked before, but I can't tell if the answer is still no, or I simply haven't found the correct thread.

It has been removed in most custom OTA ROMs
Assuming that I don't want to switch to another ROM, is it possible for me to remove the notification from the stock ROM (by modifying framework-res.apk or such), or can the removal only be done when compiling from LG's source?

It can removed from the stock rom, but you need to know exactly what you're doing, as far as modding smali in apks.
Can you give me any help to point me in the right direction for what I need to do? I think I know how to edit the apk's, and I am guessing that I would need to edit one of the xml files, but the naming conventions are not always logical. For example, config_animateScreenLights is related to the crt screen off animation for some reason.

This is not an xml edit, its a small smali edit, but here goes:
adb pull SystemUI.apk from /system/app and decompile SystemUI.apk, navigate to
\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\StatusBarPolicy.smali
Find & remove the ENTIRE "showChargingComplete" method
then find and remove this line
Code:
invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy;->showChargingComplete()V
Recompile SystemUI.apk and push to /system/app, then reboot.
If this sounds too hard or tricky, let me know.
Thanks! That worked perfectly.
I don't suppose you could post a link to that modified SystemUI.apk file? I'd love to get rid of the battery full popup, but I've never compiled/decompiled an .apk, so it sure would be a time saver.
Thanks in advance!
I certainly can. A couple of things first. I found that using the OTA, you cannot just push the SystemUI.apk to your phone using adb (it has to do with the permissions baked into the ROM), I had to make a flashable zip. This means that you will need clockworkMOD to flash the zip. Also, the SystemUI.apk that I have includes xboarder56's green signal fix (from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748&highlight=ota+gingerbread). I can apply the battery popup fix to a stock SystemUI.apk if you want, just let me know. In any case, I have to recreate the flashable zip, so it will take a few days.
I'm rooted, running the rooted but stock ROM "P999_2.3.3_Stock_OTA" by xboarder.
The only mod I've added is the battery icon mod from this thread installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190283&highlight=battery+mod
So I assume you can't just pull the SystemUI.apk and post, then copy in place using ES Explorer? If you can post a flashable .zip that works for me, whatever is easiest. Many, many thanks....
Hello everyone, today I'm creating this thread for newbies who want to learn how to use UOT Kitchen so it can be used by the Galaxy R.
It allows us to mod everything in the phone! You can even choose which to mod.
Prerequisites:
- You current ROM's SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
The instructions are as follows:
Step 1: Battery mod
Over here, you can change:
Battery icon
Battery charging animation
Battery style
Battery colour parts
Firstly, just choose a battery bar that you like. (I personally prefer the Honeycomb one)
Secondly, choose the charging animation. (Hybrid looks nice)
Thirdly, you can choose to change the colour parts or leave it as it is.
Fourthly, (optional) you can select Additional options:
Remove % numbers
Remove charging icon
Use gradient colour fill
Well, that's all for battery.
Step 2: Icons
Here you can change:
Smiley icons
Status bar icons
Notification Power icons
This doesn't need much instructions; pick what you like.
Step 3: Status bar
This is probably the most important thing when it comes to theming: the Status Bar!
It allows you to change:
Status bar transparency
Top bar
Add/edit top bar text
Add a header
Add/edit carrier
Add a background on the status bar
Customize notifications' colours
Add/edit footer
Firstly, you need to specify your phone's screen resolution size. (Ours is hdpi.)
Secondly, mix-and-match.
Step 4: Popup (a.k.a Window Animations)
This one is just as important.
It allows you to change:
Add/edit overscroll glow
Edit popup windows
Loading circle
Volume/Download bar
Add/edit list dividers
Same thing, mix-and-match.
Step 5: Lockscreen
This allows you to change:
Lockscreen
Step 6: Window
This allows you to change:
Window animations
It allows us to use the ICS windows animation effect!
Step 7: Fonts
This allows you to change:
System fonts
They have 26 fonts to choose, including the famous Roboto font!
Step 8: Bootanimation
This allows you to change:
System bootanimation
They have loads of bootanimations to choose from. Have fun!
Step 9: File upload
This is where you:
Upload system files for modding
Choosing updater-script type
Apply 9patch autofix
Toggle ThemeChooser preview for ldpi/mdpi/hdpi
Allow to download your settings into a UOT Kitchen-openable format
Just upload your system files.
But remember to choose the updater-script type as Galaxy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Step 10: Summary
This is where you can check the status of your mods.
Once it's okay, you can submit the work to the kitchen.
Once you submit it, you'll be given a number. That's the name where your file will be processed under and be shown for download at the "Pickup" section.
(Note: If it gives an error instead of a download post it at the UOT thread)
Thanks for reading this small guide, I'll update it with more info!

thanks buddy, it will help a lot.
if possible make a tut about adb commands, soon CM will start developing so sgr users will have to send lot of debug info to devs.

Just one issue though....have you tried applying the overscroll glow mod through the kitchen for stock odexed firmware....I dont think it works and also in the file upload section can you include the device type setting...it has to be 'Galaxy'.

Well , for the record , I don't have an R to test with and I also forgot about type Galaxy XD

At least, I tried the battery mod in my stock rom (not deodexed) and it works ok.

I also like to change the pop up message when I press shutdown and reboot. How can I do that ? Pls reply fast. I know decompile using APK but I don't know which file to decompile and where can I find the file to edit . Can anyone please tell me and don't ignore my post ?

If you are making your own rom (and not being a winzip wizard) them you should know that it is controled by the framework files.

What do you mean ? I am a newbie actually. I made my rom based on a custom rom and follow the guide on this forum.
See the attachment.
How can I change the MindCr ROM to my own text ? I really don't know where to find it. What I know is how to edit those png files

You will have to decompile the jar files and edit the java code. As I stated in your other thread take some time and learn to make a rom properly. Mainly when you will be required to follow all the same rules that the devs are. New to this or not. Take some time and learn linux and then learn to build a rom the proper way.
I already have the basic knowledge. How am going to learn if I don't know. Asking is a way of learning too! I already good in decompiling and compiling and script editing. The problem is don't know which xml file should I edit. I can do basic programming. I did found out the directory of those icons but I don't know how to change the title text of the pop up menu that appear after I press the "restart" and "shutdown" button.
I almost finish my ROM already just left theming and that part only. For your information, I actually modified quite a number of apk files successfully based on Nero Young tutorial.

You learn by spending a few days searching. Trust me your not the first to ask this question. There are tons of TUT all over the site to help you learn how to make a rom. What you are missing to understand is that you have not really given any info like what style rom, for what device? These things matter as depending on device and rom then it is in different places. So I could tell you were it is in my rom (which i did) but it may not be there in your rom.
What would it take to make an app that allows you to switch the softkey layout (like the G2)? Image at the site below:

Looks good! I'm looking for a mod i can flash (Cwm/twrp) without root
Let me rephrase the question. What would it take to build my own application similar to this? I don't want to pay money to move some buttons around. Would it be possible to pull the code out of the G2 rom and make a generic apk for other roms?
It looks like you just decompile SystemUI.apk, edit the navigation_bar.xml to change the button order, recompile SystemUI.apk and flash it. I am curious though how the G2 is able to change these values on the fly without root and without rebooting.
I found this regarding changing the button order:
