Good but you are using gb right??
Wat are the bugs in it? Does it reboot successfully or does it enter the upload mode?
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App

Hi I've tried the problem is in the file public.xml because the default ids assigned to the new options are already assigned to others in the original i9003's settings.apk file. So we have to edit the xml file after patching it with .diff file to change the default ids with others not used...
EDIT:
used ids point to the samsung lockscreen so we can delete them ( I think)
From default public.xml:
<public type="drawable" name="lock_anim_10" id="0x7f02006d" />
<public type="drawable" name="lock_anim_11" id="0x7f02006e" />
<public type="drawable" name="lock_anim_12" id="0x7f02006f" />
<public type="drawable" name="lock_anim_13" id="0x7f020070" />
<public type="drawable" name="lock_anim_14" id="0x7f020071" />
From public.diff:
< <public type="drawable" name="APKTOOL_DUMMY_006d" id="0x7f02006d" />
< <public type="drawable" name="APKTOOL_DUMMY_006e" id="0x7f02006e" />
< <public type="drawable" name="APKTOOL_DUMMY_006f" id="0x7f02006f" />
< <public type="drawable" name="APKTOOL_DUMMY_0070" id="0x7f020070" />
< <public type="drawable" name="APKTOOL_DUMMY_0071" id="0x7f020071" />
We can't use these ids twice for different function...
I hope I've helped someone

Yeah, Battery drain seems to be alot faster on everyday use. I find myself charging it every 6 hours now compared to FROYO. Kernel panic rarely happens to me, Maybe because of pressing home+power button when it hangs, Then yes. Lag happens aswell, When you don't reboot the phone and constantly use it for 2-3 days without rebooting. It slows down pretty bad and the response to touch is delayed. A reboot fixes that and it becomes all smooth again.

[MOD][HOW TO][GT-S7562] Enabling/modding Transparency

Hi Samsung Galaxy S Duos GT-S7562 users
Many of you asked me questions/helps for regarding transparency in our device.
So, i decided to make a help thread for everyone for GT-S7562 [This is what i did to make transparency in my GT-S7562 ]
This guide will tell you to how to enable transparency and modding transparency levels in your device.
You will need:
1. 7zip
2. Notepad++
3. ApkToolv3 Donwload here (Not any other ApkTool) [For this ApkTool, Credit goes to Kryten2k35]
Now the steps:
1. Extract apktoolv3
2 There will be a 'READ_ME.txt file, with the help of this decompile your SystemUI.apk
3. Now open WORKING folder and go to- SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar
4. Open StatusBar.smali with notepad++ and search for this:
Code:
Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;->(IIIII)V
Go to the line above it and change the last value to -0x3
Save it and close
This will enable the transparency for StatusBar
Now for StatusBar Expanded/Notification Background
1. Go to- SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone
2. Open PhoneStatusBar.smali with notepad++ and search for this:
Code:
const v4, 0x4800068
replace the 2 lines underneath with this:
Code:
const/4 v5, -0x3
move v2, v1
Now search for this:
Code:
Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/PhoneStatusBar;->mPixelFormat:I
Go to the line above it and change the last value to -0x3
Save it and close.
This will enable transparency in your device
Now for making transparency
1. In WORKING folder go to- SystemUI\res\values
2. Open drawables.xml using notepad++ and in this line:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#[COLOR="Red"]xxxxxxxx[/COLOR]</item>
where 'xxxxxxxx' is some value.
Change xxxxxxxx to as per your need of transparency level:
00000000 - 100% transparency
3F000000 - 75% transparency
7F000000 - 50% transparency
BF000000 - 25% transparency
FF000000 - 0% transparent (No transparency)
Save it and close
3. And do the same with:
(a) SystemUI\res\values-sw600dp\drawables.xml
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#[COLOR="red"]xxxxxxxx[/COLOR]</item>
Save it and close
(b) SystemUI\res\values-sw800dp\drawables.xml
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">#[COLOR="red"]xxxxxxxx[/COLOR]</item>
Save it and close
This will make your StatusBar transparent as per your values.
Now for making StatusBar Expanded/Notification Background transparent.
1. In WORKING folder go to- SystemUI\res\values
2 Open drawables.xml using notepad++ and in this line:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="notification_tracking_bg">#[COLOR="red"]xxxxxxxx[/COLOR]</item>
Change xxxxxxxx to as per your need of transparency level.
Save it and close
3. And do the same with:
(a) SystemUI\res\layout\tw_status_bar_tracking.xml
Code:
<FrameLayout android:background="#[COLOR="red"]xxxxxxxx[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Save it and close
(b) SystemUI\res\layout\tw_status_bar_tracking_dual.xml
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="bottom" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#[COLOR="red"]xxxxxxxx[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Save it and close.
This will make your StatusBar Expanded/Notification Background transparent as per your values.
Now recompile and sign SystemUI.apk with the help of that READ_ME.txt file.

[HELP] Custom battery icons for EB 4.0.4

I love the EB ROM and the ICS look and feel. However I can't stand the battery icon and percentage distributions. I'm trying to create my own.
I went into the systemui.apk, decompiled with APK multi-tool, edited stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge XMLs and swapped PNGs.
I edited the sys_battery XML to look like this:
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_0" android:maxLevel="0" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_1" android:maxLevel="1" />
All the way until I got to 100. I did the same thing for the sys_battery_charge XML but of course in its specific structure but the same method.
Compiled APK and set permissions to RW R R and placed into system/app and replaced old systemui.apk.
The new battery Icon appears and looks great but it is NOT accurately portraying the phones real battery percentage level. I even went as far as editing the same XMLs in the framework-res.apk but it had ZERO affect on my issue.
Any help please is GREATLY appreciated! This is my first attempt at doing any coding/theming/etc. so I am a complete newbie at this kinda stuff.

Themeing Velvet.apk Nothing working, help please!

So I've been trying to theme the stock kitkat launcher. Really the only thing that I am trying to accomplish is themeing the all apps button....the little grey circular button with the six white dots that opens up the app drawer. At first I created a flashable zip with zip themer which had no affect whatsoever. I even had the zip file double checked and looked over by Mathew (OP of Candy mod zip themer thread). So then I said screw it I'll just decompile, swap png's, recompile, push to phone, fix permissions and reboot like I use to do back in my G2X days. So I did all of that, everything decompiled and recompiled just fine. Pushed the app to system/priv-app and fixed permissions and rebooted. NOTHING. I even double checked my modified apk by decompiling it and making sure my images were there.....which they were. I have NO idea where the phone is pulling the stock all_apps button from since I deleted all the stock icons and swapped them with my own which were all to size.
I don't understand why my mods aren't working, because the XML file in drawable called all_apps_button_icon.xml says this:
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_allapps_pressed" />
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/ic_allapps_pressed" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_allapps" />
</selector>
So it SAYS it's pulling the icon from drawable.....but all the icons in drawable were swapped with MY MODDED ICONS. Yet upon instillation of my modded velvet.apk, it still has the stock all apps button.....any ideas are GREATLY appreciated =)

It's because the google search app got updated and now is in data/app. Try editing that one instead of the one in priv-app.

You sir are awesome. Another user told me about the update but failed to mention the relocation of where the phone was drawing the images from. I'm sure it will work now. Thanks again!!!

Just to let you know, Zipthemer is having issues with kitkat. I have a thread in the N4 forums with a bunch of signal icon mods and haven't been getting any consistent results with 4.4. 4.3 and below worked great though.

Yeah I figured so. I got this mod working but zip themer wouldn't do it. Had to go about it the old fashioned way and decompile, recompile, push and fix permissions. Kinda sucks because I was just really getting the hang of building zips with zip themer...now a lot of the stuff I try just isn't working. Hopefully the app gets a serious update soon.

[GUIDE][CM11][KK] How to make Transparent Status and Navigation Bar on KitKat 4.4

Hello Everyone!!
Lots of people asked me how to make transparent status and transparent navigation bar on android 4.4 kitkat as it supports transparent status and navigation bar. So i thought of writing this guide so that every one get's benefit of this.
Here u go:
To make use of transparent status and navigation feature of Android 4.4 in your activity(it may be launcher or any activity):
Add these below lines in style.xml of your activity/launcher's main activity theme.
HTML:
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>
Where attribute android:windowTranslucentStatus set the transparency of status bar and android:windowTranslucentNavigation used for transparency of navigation bar
Or you can also use one of these themes as your parent
HTML:
Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor
Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor
By enabling translucent system bars, your layout will fill the area behind the system bars, so you must also enable fitsSystemWindows for the portion of your layout that should not be covered by the system bars.
HTML:
<item name="android:fitsSystemWindows">true</item>
You can use anyone of the above approach to make transparent System bars of your activity.
You can also read original android docs Here
If u like my work, press thanks:laugh:

I removed it, it went back to normal.
What exactly do I do to make it transparent??? change /white to transparent or do i need to change it from <item to <color ? and make it #00000000?
Explain it a bit Thanks for the help!
Edit: Changed
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/white</item> to
<color name="android:windowBackground">#0000000</color>
And compiled it, it didn't compile, anything i'm doing wrong here?

Okay, it compiled. I made two with one being color/white and the new one color/trans
The white one looked whites with shades. and the transparent one was just black :s, the status bar didn't blend into the blue action bar? it just went black. Any idea what happened?
EDIT : Fixed i moved the fitWindow function to the theme window. all is working! Thanks for this guide. And very helpful OP user!

So I defined a new colour in color.xml
<color name="nexus">#ff4d9ad8</color>
I went into styles, and changed
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/transparent</item> to
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/nexus</item>
Now when compiling, it gives off an error, doesn't compile?

So I defined a new colour in color.xml
<color name="nexus">#ff4d9ad8</color>
I went into styles, and changed
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/transparent</item> to
<item name="android:windowBackground">@*android:color/nexus</item>
Now when compiling, it gives off an error, doesn't compile?
Thanks for the help!
