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

Click to collapse
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.

transparent status bar?

i am on a rooted german ICS rom and was wondering wether its poosible to have a transparent status bar?

I'm searching for itit too, i know it is possible but how?

I think that it is possible, but to make it happened you have to change some .png for the statusbar.

I believe it requires smali edits in systemui.apk
Sent from my GT-N7000

actually you can mod the apk file and edit the color of status bar as alpha blending = 1
this is the method the status bar is drawn as far as i recall it doesn't have PNG files for the actual background though you can define that too.

As mentioned before, its a smali edit. Then you can either set the status bar colour to transparent or set the drawable to look for an image. I'll post a quick tutorial when I get to my computer. Really easy to do providing you know how to (de)compile properly

Im writing this presuming you already know how to decompile ICS apk's, if not.......google is your friend
Make a backup of your systemUI just incase.
Decompile your SystemUI,
Navigate to /SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBar.smali
In StatusBar.Smali, search for this line;
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v11 .. v16}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
A few lines above this change;
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]0x4[/B]
To
Code:
const/16 v16, [B]-0x3[/B]
Save the file then navigate to SystemUI/res/values/drawables.xml
Look for the following line;
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">[B]#ff000000[/B]</item>
Change the hex value (#ff000000) the what ever you want ((ff = 100% transparency)(000000 = black)
#00000000 - completely transparent
#7f000000 - roughly 50% translucent I think
Save the file then recompile SystemUI.apk, and then push the apk back to your phone with the correct permissions and if compile correctly you should have a transparent status bar
If something goes wrong, I'm not responsible....blah blah blah!!
Iv only done this on CM9 & AOSP/AOKP but it should work with stock/tw roms as long as they're ics.
I'm still not next to my computer so I can't remember the line of code to set the status bar as an image rather than a color, I'll post it as soon as I get home.

How do I get a background Image, Like the attached Screenshot ?

[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.

Hello,
there are many ways to make status bar shadow, here's I share the simple way..
1. after decompile your systemUI, Go to SystemUI.apk\res\values and open drawables.xml and focus on this line and remove it:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</item>
2. create file : \SystemUI.apk\res\drawable\status_bar_background.xml and fill with this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#00000000" android:endColor="#66000000" android:angle="@integer/status_bar_recents_bg_gradient_degrees" name="status_bar_background" />
</shape>
in previous guide, the developer wrote "android:endColor" with value "#99000000", it's your choices...
3. Compile it. Done.

[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:

Bro as above mentioned themes were introduced in Kitkat so they doesn't work with older versions so in order to use those themes in your apk decopile your apk with kitkat framwork-res.apk(available in any CM11 Rom) and then compile it.It will work.try it let me know if that works:laugh:

bro i m not able to install ur apk as some libs are missing also i m using sony phone.i have checked ur manifest.xml and found that there is no theme defined in your main activity "com.android.launcher2.Launcher" define a theme and add transparent status bar styles corresponding to that theme in style.xml. hope that works

Thanks for this awesome guide!
How can I get the status bar to imitate the colour scheme of the top action bar? Blue bit.
I added fit window option but it didn't do anything.
Edit : Here's the screenshot!

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?

hey give define that color in colors.xml like <color name="any_name">#00000000</color>
then in style.xml use it like this <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/any_name</item>

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?
Thanks for the help!
