Is there any way to remove the annoying "Wi-Fi connected"/"Connected to [SSID]" ongoing notification from the notifications pulldown? I can't find any setting for it, and I'm not exactly sure how to remove it. I saw that you can hide it, once per reboot/Wi-Fi toggle, but I would like to see it permanently gone. I am running rooted stock 4.1.2, so I figure that there is some way to do it.
(I can also post a screencap if that would help explain what I am talking about).
Decompile and remove it
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Was looking for something a little more step-by-step than that. I don't know which APK has it, nor do I know exactly how to de/recompile, or how to remove the notification from there.
Try Google search

I already tried Googling, although I couldn't find anything that was different than a non-root, temporary fix that simply killed the settings app. I did find another fix, but it was for a Note II, and required replacing the settings APK with a new version - something I figured was a bad idea, seeing as how it's not for this phone/ROM.
I mean search for a guide on decompiling and editing. It's not hard, I do it all the time.

I don't have the slightest as to which app it would be in, or what I am looking to remove. If I were to post the (correct) APK, would you be able to do it for me?
Thread moved to Q and A...
And, odds are the app you need to change is secsettings.apk

I'm looking for info on how to get into modifying ROM's. I can do the basic stuff like replacing system apps, kernel, modem so far.
Looked at this thread but it wasn't that informative and apparent not entirely correct ether. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885048
Things I'm looking for/to-do:
-List of apk's that are absolute necessary to have all ASOP functions work. OR a list of everything that can be removed and have all ASOP functions work.
-Change the time on MMS from received to sent.
-Change system settings defaults
-Faster pull down/up notification bar animation
Things I would like to do but not sure are possible (where should I look to try):
-Change functionality of button/button long press. ie. use google's gesture search when long pressing menu instead of default search.
-When using the "back" button to exit an app auto kill it. Do not kill/act normal if exiting app using "home" button.
-Remove app icons from notification bar that are running in foreground. ie. tasker
-Block apps from running on startup/in background. Yes I'm aware of autorun manager
-Disable lockscreen toggle, possibly add to lock screen chooser? yes I know there is the app no lock.
-If a text message fails to send keep retrying till it does send. (This really bothers me, my old "dumb" sony ericsson did exactly that)
I would like to minimize the use of apps that change functionality as much as possible and would like to make the modifications directly to the ROM.
Question, when using an apk that is modified like the themed black market apk, I assume it does not get updates through the market?
Is it possible to put widgets on the lock screen without the use of widget locker?
I'm guessing there are threads for these, if someone could point me to them I would appreciate it, if not I'll probably find them eventually
Accurate battery mod
Extended power menu options
Lock Screen Chooser
I plan on starting on already made roms from xda to start with.
I would greatly appreciate any info or direction.
Thanks
Did you happen to look at the sticky on "how to create ROMS" located at the top of this forum?
I did, and I did forget about it. It does help a bit, now I can decompile apk's.
Could someone point me to the file in the mms.apk that would contain the value to change the received to sent?
In general there is tons of files in the rom's and apk's, how does one go about locating the files that contain the info that one would like to change?

lol, at 1,250 files for one apk..... how many blind squirrels does it take?
So far I've found something different between a "stock" mms.apk and a mms.apk that displays the sent time.
Code:
Stock mms.apk:
<string name="sent_on">%s</string>
Sent mms.apk:
<string name="sent_on">Sent: %s</string>
Though assume this just means one has the "sent" prefix and one doesn't...

Hi, everyone. I have CM7.1 installed on my Droid Incredible. For the lock screen, I'm using the sliding tab option. When I slide the unlock tab, it says "unlock" on it. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the size of that text, and what it says. I was looking at the framework-res.apk, and I found images for the tab, but nothing on what the tab says. Anyone have any ideas?
I have done it before, but don't remember exactly how. I am pretty sure that I used root explorer to edit the file. I would search for you, but, i am running ICS right now. Please let me know if this helped.
Later this week, i will install CM7 stock, if no one else is able to help you.

I figured that there was a file to edit, but I'm not sure what it's called, or where to look.
HTC provided quite a few skins for this phone which I'm grateful for and combing the Matte skin with Apex is close to giving me the benefits of both ICS and Sense 4.0 looks (the Matte skin uses what appears to be the/a close representation of the ICS blue). Unfortunately, for whatever reason, HTC decided to leave a certain disgusting looking green present in its default menu/selection popup. Whats odd though, is that when you select something, it uses the blue from the Matte skin. HTC evidently didn't think this far through because there is no way those go together. What I was wondering was if anyone knows of where this green is, whether its a color code used somewhere (this is what I would expect) or an actual image. This is just very irritating to look at when it pop ups and really ruins the consistency of the phone IMO.
If your not sure what color I'm talking about long press on a photo and its that menu I'm referring to. The reason I think its just a color code is because the same green appears in the Root Explorer app at the top (thin line, right underneath the icon) so I would imagine the app is just referring to some default system color and using it to color that image. Could be totally wrong though and its just calling for an image that stretches to fill the space since its only a solid color.
Your solution would be to edit the systemui.apk and the framework-res.apk

I figured it was one of those two. I've only looked through the images contained in the SystemUI.apk file and didn't see anything that looked quite like the green bar. Guess I have to go through looking at the .xml files I'll check the framework-res.apk first thought and see if there's anything in there.
If I remember correctly, the images that are stretched in android are the png files that are the .9 images

Just change the skin type under the Personalize settings. Implements system wide changes for colors and everything.
root for this?

probably a dumb question, but do we need root access for this, or can I find other means of access? I have encryption mandated by my corporate administrators and I dont feel like decryption/factory resetting/rooting/editing and finding out that it's all for naught when my conpany re-encrypts so i can get my email. Also, please note i'm a noob and may have just said nonsensical things herein

You can't edit those without Root access You won't even be allowed to edit files in the /system directory without root.
So I looked in the framework-res.apk file and I found a lot of images that I believe are the green selectors I was referring to in the OP. The only problem, is I'm not sure of a perfect way to replace them (tried naming the original something weird, but then everything started crashing and needed to use adb to rename the file) and I'm not sure how good it will even look since it appears when you select something it uses several images to create a "light -> dark" type selection. I suppose I could edit the transparency of the files, but I don't know if it will be worth the effort. I might not even be doing the process correctly because I just rezipped my customized framework-res file and changed the extension from .zip to .apk. Is that even the proper thing to do?
Look at the second post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869198
This is NOT a complete guide for our phones, but reading this will get you on the right track. I know about a bit of themeing, and can try to help you on the way.
i know this hasnt been seen or touched lately but can any one tell me where and what to edit/change to change the color of the green since i dont realy like it? if its possible

i know this post is fairly old now, but i too would love to know how id be able to change this fugly green color in messages. i have a coredroid theme zip that includes a nice blue message "bubble" but i would have no idea how to go about putting it in my current rom.
Hey everyone,
i have removed apps that i don't think i will ever use, E.G themes, and would like to alter the Cyanogen mod Settings to remove the entires that are no longer needed, as i have never done this before, i will most likely need to be helped step by step, or if you have a link to a guide already made that will be great
This is probably more involved that you would like to go.
That is part of "ROM" itself and can't be removed like a apk in system app.
Do you want to remove it from the source and compile it yourself? Think that is the way you have to go to accomplish what you want. Maybe it can be edited out in the ROM.zip prior to flash but I don't know
dam, i hoped it would be simple, i may have to re-compile it as you say, cause since i removed themes, it obliviously crashes if i accidentally hit the theme button in settings, i'll go looking to see if i can find something relating to that, thanks

Hi,
You can always just try a launcher that allows u to hide the apps u do not want to use....
And you can also disable some of those hidden apps under "manage applications" but be careful since some of the main apps are used by other system apps like gallery, email, etc. I just hide them and its like they do not exist.
This way if a force close happens due that app being disabled u can always reenable it so it fixed the force closures.
Or find a ROM that slim/minimal so u dont have worry about those apks in the first place.
Good luck

He is actually referring to the stuff in the settings menu.
So when he deletes the theme manager apk for example it also disappears from the settings.
At least that's what I think he is talking about.

After reading the post again..
I believe ur correct since it seemed to easy of a question to ask and answer.
But I just wonder why those settings are even a bother to the phone or its performance.

Minimalist approach. I can see how it can annoy somebody very easily.
Decompile and edit the smali files which is a huge pain in the ass or do it from source, those are generally your only 2 options. I did it for my GS2, it's much, MUCH, easier to do it from source. Understanding smali makes me want to rip my hair out. Stick to the source, haha trust me.
Try your luck. Here are some resources to help you out.

Look for something called dex2jar, it'll convert the classes.dex in an apk file to a jar which you'll be able to read/understand with jd-gui.
This, I am *sure*, has been asked before, and answered. In fact I'm fairly sure I already know the answer, at least according to the official reviews... but then XDA people have a habit of changing the "official rules"
Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to customise the apps that appear in the pop-up folder, that comes up when you remove the s-pen from the holder.
Im pretty sure you can't, and that its mentioned as such in a review I read before buying the Note a couple days ago. (On ICS at least... I dont know if this has changed for Jellybean?)
But I figured, if anyone has found a way to change this, you guys would have!
I did try searching for the answer in the forums... but my problem was I didnt really know what that pop-up menu/folder thing is actually *called*, which made it difficult. I'm sorry if I missed something obvious!!
Thanks for any help
Should I take that as a no? Or at least a "not yet".
No, not the side folder however a lot of apps have been added to the pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen, in the themes section there's a thread with links to apps that have been modified to work in this.
Theres also a thread floating around that tells you how to alter an apk file to make it capable of this. The downside is that since you altered the apk file you can no longer update that particular app without then editing the files in the apk file to once again make it pop-up menu compatible...

Yeah I knew about the multiview menu alterations already, its a thread I've been following for a while. I was only asking because, after deleting pen physics, there is a gap in the pen folder I would have liked to make use of.
Too bad

If you go into Settings, and select under System, 'Pen', the last option is called 'Options after detaching pen'. You can pick one or more things to show up. Not sure if this is what you mean, but there you go...

Nah, I did know about that one. One of the options in that settings menu is "Open shortcuts toolbar". Thats the toolbar I am talking about.
Problem is, the toolbar has like 5 or 6 default apps in it.. only about 3 of them is any use. It would be nice to be able to change them to apps of my own choosing!!

Ah, ok, I know you can choose to have only a few or just one, but as far as I know you can only select or deselect the ones shown. As of right now you can't add any others. I think I read somewhere that possibly with 4.1 or 4.2 that may change. :fingers-crossed:
