Hmm the battery percent seems to have disappeared based on your screenshots. Or did you purposefully get rid of it?
Thanks for your work btw. These status bar mods are awesome.

I'm doing this a different way than before. It may require a different battery mod. I'll be adding the battery mod back in.

SystemUI process has stopped when I install or manually copy the first one. When I modify and replace just image resources myself it works fine, these don't for some reason. VZW Dev Edition, 4.4.

Yep. I have tried copying and setting permissions using shell through adb, using the file manager in TWRP and using Solid File Explorer. Same crash.
The only thing I just thought of is that I'm using ART, not sure why that would be a problem but it's possible I guess. Which runtime are you on?

Moving on to Eclipse's rom so I'll be doing a lot less messing around. If you need something converted to your carrier let me know.
question. i previously installed native tethering by replacing the VzwEntitlementService.apk in /priv-apps. everything works ok, but everytime i turn on tethering, there still is a check for tethering subscription which is only for 'esthetic' reasons (still by-passes the check).
will your method remove the subscription check when tethering is turned on?
also, if i install your method, do i need to reenable the original .apk and .odex files for yours to compile over them?
thanks-
Thank you!
Awesome work! Stepped in here for the native tethering zip and it seems to work flawlessly! Got wifi hotspot running without a hitch.

This method totally bypasses the check. It doesn't matter if you have the stock app or any third party app. I tested with Vzw app and with Wifi tether for root access and I got no errors. The only necessary change is made in framework-res.apk.

Hello. Currently, it hides the "AT&T" in both the unexpanded and expended statusbar. I can make it so it appears in just the expanded statusbar or put something else in the expanded statusbar (may take a bit, but should be fairly quick).
I have some testers, so if they say all is good, I'll put up the DL link straightaway...
I am working on working CWM port now, so I am just going to post, as it seems to work. Have fun, and use at your own risk!!! I'll also have an installer up soon.
Oh, THIS IS FOR THE 1.82 RUU, I haven't tested on 1.73, but I can make it for that version, as well, and 1.85 when it's rooted...also, you need to be Deodexed!

Hey, sk ...that Logo is not rom based...it's actually carrier based, It will display whatever carrier you are on..
For example, I'm on 1.82 att rom but it displays rogers, since i'm using rogers..
so when you changed to another network it will be the name of other network.
just want everyone to know, so they will not be that annoyed to have it.

Thanks for pointing this out. I just find it annoying/redundant, and it's not in the carrier free One X, so I got rid of it. Like I said, I can add it back to the expanded status bar if people need to know what network they are on (and it's still on your lockscreen).

Process:
1) Rename Old SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.old
2) Move new SystemUI.apk to /system/app/ with Root Explorer
3) Set Permissions to rw-rw-rw
Success on Magnolia X. (On 1.82)
Just to let everyone know it re-set my wallpaper to the default ROM one, but of course this is easy, just re-select the one you want!
Great Job SK!

The wallpaper change happens any time you replace the systemui because when I was doing some theming of the apk it happened every time even when putting the original back. Just need to go into settings and reset it no biggy.

Hi devs!
Back in the NOTE days I found out that in order to get the native built-in Android WIFI hotspot working WITHOUT the need to pay extra for it, all you need to do is change one line of code in the framework-res.apk.
So I'm calling on all of you to hopefully adopt this for all of your excellent custom ROMs and thereby make the extra tether apps obsolete...
In framework-res decompiled directory tree go to res/values/arrays.xml and change:
Code:
<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app">
<item>com.samsung.spg</item>
<item>com.samsung.spg.NewSPGActivity</item>
</string-array>
to
Code:
<array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app" />
This completely bypasses any wifi hotspot entitlement checks and lets you activate the built-in AP with no error message!
Nice. Can you upload a completed hotspot apk file?

nor there is a "arrays.xml" in the apk.
And I'm currently running the [Rom][7.26.2012][VRALF2/VRALG1]NoSympathy's Stock OTA 100% deodexed, zipaligned rom.
hmm this would be nice as hotspot is basically the main apk i cant delete.. and we had it hacked on the droid x also but i dont think it was this easy we had to mod something in the nv to get it for free.. if it is this easy though hmm...

I honestly didn't think it was that easy on Verizon. OP is talking about the Note, which never came out on verizon. I have a feeling on this phone, the built in tether app isn't much different than the other LTE phones I have used, you have to rewrite parts of the framework and parts of the hotspot apk to make it not do a security check.
Just use hot spot widget it already bypasses the check and activates the hotspot I haven't yet tethered to it but it does activate.

Definitely hear ya op.. I use wifi tether no problem, but to have one app instead of two always nice. Real question remains if code works with Verizon. Did you test it on the phone or just the code from Note?
I'm using Wi-Fi tether 3 from the market, hack the device under options and its perfect. Very simple, been my favorite.

This is the same method we use on the Galaxy Nexus in AOSP source as well. Here is a modified framework-res.apk that you provided me with the provisioning removed. I do not have an SGS3 to test it with but it should work just fine.

Guys, In the past I have asked nitroglycerin33 to help with apk and dev related work so I went to him to see if he could decompile this badboy and allow tethering. AND HE CAME THROUGH!!! I would highly suggest a big thanks or donation for nitroglycerin33. He didn't have to do this.
Just an additional note. The framework-res.apk I gave him was for the VRLG1 release which is the latest OTA release. Not sure what this will do if you have the original release.
THANKS NITRO!!!!
What file did you edit ? I don't even see a "values" folder nor a arrays.xml file in the framework-res apk.

I want to say that I did not create this file. I just helped facilitate a speedy delivery of this file because I reached out to a dev friend so he could help us.
This single .apk file is intended for folks that are stock/rooted and want to get by with as many tweaks as possible without flashing a ROM or Theme. I know their are plenty of peeps out there that are just fine with being rooted only... hopefully this will add to your enjoyment of a nearly bone stock rom.
**Before you do anything make a backup of your framework-res.apk file which is located in system/framework**
**If you are on a themed rom, using this framework-res.apk will remove most of your theme and place you back to stock look**
**Rom devs and themers will need to take this framework-res.apk and add it to their themes and roms** (or decompile and create their own)
Credits:
Nitroglycerin33 for compiling and editing framework-res.apk
Electron73 for delivering the knowledge to our forum
Confirmed working on Stock OTA VRLG1
How to install:
Option A:
-Download the framework-res.apk to your C:\ drive or whatever folder you like on your PC.
-Mount your system folder on your phone as read/write
-Then push it via adb to your phone. Reboot. Profit
Option B:
If you don't feel comfortable using adb commands you can use root explorer and copy the framework-res.apk over to system\framework\ which will overwrite the existing framework file. This will cause your phone to freeze up immediately. Give it 2 minutes then simultaneously press the volume up + volume down + the power button until it goes into safemode. Once in safemode your phone will start responding. You can then reboot at this point which will automatically boot you out of safe mode. If you can't seem to get it into safe mode just yank the battery. I tested it this way to see if it works and it does. No harm done to the phone. I would make a back up of your framework-res.apk before doing this.

for the record I am using your stock rom and loving it. Feel free to use this apk if you need to.

My guess is the latter if you know how to decompile and you can use notepad++. What apk tool do you use? Can you link me?

I already had done this mod before your guy posted one, I just had gone out to wash my car while I had time and he got it up before me. Either way it is a rather easy mod.
If I can even find the link to the apks tool I am using again I sure will. It has two apktool.jar files. One is 1.4.2 for decompiling and one is 1.4.3 for recompiling.

Good to have this mod published. Loving being able to use the native app despite VZW's attempt to thwart.
So, I tried pushing via adb but kept getting Read-only file system. So, tried adb remount and got Operation not permitted.
Anyway, I ended up using Root Explorer. Then, instead of pulling battery I tried a key combo: hold down Power and Volume +- at the same time for a few seconds and got in to Safe Mode; then just rebooted. That was cool cause I didn't want to have to pull the battery.
Thanks for posting guys.
Do I have to be on a rom to use this or can I just be stocked rooted?
Can you please post the changes needed in the framework apk, so anyone ca make the changes?
Works perfect via root explorer. Thanks!

Stock rooted is what you need to be on. The Latest OTA to be exact. Match your rom version with the one in orginal post :highfive:
OmniSwitch is a recent apps switcher created for OmniROM by maxwen, you can read more about it here. Even though the app was developed for OmniROM, it works on all KitKat ROMs. Users of non-KitKat ROMs can take a look at OmniSnitch.
The attached .zip file is to be used with custom recovery and flashes OmniSwitch.apk (extracted from OmniROM) to /system/priv-app, the app needs to be in this location for the kill apps function to work. You can also copy the attached apk to system/priv-app, you will also need to set the permissions to rw-r--r--, do not install it. If you're interested in the source code, you can find it here.
This thread was created with maxwen's permission.
Edit: I have changed both files, from what I saw with the tests I did, both methods work now. Thanks to ultimahwhat for the new apk and to OrglCe for his zip creator.
Let me know if there are any problems.
Edit: If you have any permission problems, it should be fixed after using lucky patcher to remove signature verification on your phone, as always, this is at own risk.

21/05/2014: Update to version 1.1. New feature has been added. Signature differs so you can't use the apk to update the old version.
26/05/2014: Version 1.1 should work correctly now.
Good work, since i'm using vanir aosp definitly my favorite feature.

Does this version allow choosing custom icon packs?

Can you try to flash it with a custom recovery? I was also struggling to get it to work by copying it, I got it working once but don't know what I did different, haven't had any problems when flashing via recovery.

I have tried both ways maybe it's the cm11 rom for the U which is the issue I'm not sure though
Tried flashing it on stock 4.4.2 setup (rooted) on Nexus 5. Keep getting failed to gain permissions errors. Checked root explorer and correct permissions were shown however.
ive flashed the zip, now how do i enable and use it??
I'm also getting the start failed error, I'm trying to figure out how to fix it.
I think I messed up with the signatures/certificates, I'm busy looking for a solution.

In the meantime, found a potential workaround, hope it is a kosher suggestion... Omni switch was included with and working on pac rom, so I just extracted the apk from one of the nightlies and copied it into the appropriate directory, changed permissions. Did not get permissions error after reboot and am able to use it with drag handle. Now if I could just replace the default recents launcher...

Was it a PAC ROM for your phone? Please send the file so that I can add it to the OP.

Yes, was for my phone, but doubt apk is device specific. I sent you a PM with a link for the apk. Cheers.

Works great on my device, thanks! In my opinion the best feature for multitasking on android, should be built in in any rom
If the navigation bar seems to take up too much space and you would like a smaller one, I've made a couple of height options. One goes from the normal 48.0dip to 36.0dip and one goes all the way down to 28.0dip.

Enclosed is a separate zip in case you would like the actual navigation icons themselves smaller.
Also, I have some colored icons too.
any screenshot ???
Really thinking about flashing back to stock rooted to try this. Anyone on stock rooted willing to give this a try for the rest of us?
If this works then my need to run a custom ROM will be pretty much alleviated.

Screenshots don't show much. Keep in mind I have smaller nav icons too.

It works. BTW, you don't need to be rooted to apply this or many of the mods Tulsadiver makes.

Never heard of that but you could try. This zip creates a restore file in a folder called ozog. If you have problems, flash the restore zip. Or, you could upload your framework-res apk and I'll make you one.
alright, i will make a backup first and try it out... thanks!
is there a new mode for the latest google update?

Has anyone tried this mod with the official CM13 nightlies?

There is no reason this would work with CM.
EDIT: I suppose I should expound on this. This is a simple framework edit. The edit must be done to the framework-res.apk of the ROM it is to be used on. Since all of these are edits to the stock ROM they will not work on other ROMs such as CM.

I'd make one for you but you get nightly updates since it wouldn't do you any good.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I tend to update my nightly update once a week so this likely wouldn't do me any good, unless it would work across nightlies?

You should learn to do the mod yourself that way you can update it whenever you update CM.

Great point. Might hit up the OP for some pointers.
@sn0warmy @Tulsadiver Do either of you use linux? For ****s and giggles I built a linux script that pulls the framework-res.apk from your device, decompiles it, modifies the dimens.xml so you will have a 32dip navbar, recompiles it, copies the modified files to a vrthemer file, zips that file, and finally pushes that zip to your phone so you can flash it. It takes about 30 seconds to run through this. Its a one trick pony at the moment, and requires you to have adb and apktool located in/usr/local/bin/ so they can be accessed from anywhere (one should do this because anyway).

I'm primarily windows based but I recently changed my computer to boot dually. I put Linux mint on a small portion of my hard drive so I could run super R's kitchen.
