[UPDATED 23-12][MOD][GUIDE]CM Trebuchet Transparent Drawer

Description:
Transparent app drawer by definition means you can see the homescreen wallpaper whilst in app drawer instead of the default black background.
Tools needed:
1) apktool
2) notepad++
3) 7zip
Files needed: (Depending on ROM type)
1) trebuchet.apk, or
2) Launcher2.apk
Steps [HOW TO]:
1) decompile trebuchet.apk or Launcher2.apk
2) go to \res\layout\apps_customize_pane.xml
replace android:background="#ff000000" with android:background="#00000000"
There are two instances in this file.
3) now SMALI CODE.
go to
\smali\com\cyanogenmod\trebuchet\
or
smali\com\android\launcher2\
4) open Launcher.smali and delete the following method: updateWallpaperVisibility
Also delete all its references in Launcher.smali and other smali files. Usually this method is referenced in Launcher$13.smali and Launcher$17.smali and AppsCustomizePagedView.smali
However, it could be different from file to file depending on how it was built from source. Therefore, to know the file names exactly, just use notepad++ and use Search in Files feature and search for updateWallpaperVisibility in the decompiled apk samli folder. It will tell you where this method is referenced.
After deleting the method and all of its references, just compile the apk and make your flashsable zip.
I use APKTOOL and 7zip for that.
Example:
Before:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

[GUIDE] Edit the systemUI.apk or any other w/o errors.

So here goes a simple guide for the noobs: who wants to change the .xmls file but always end with a error.
Disclaimer - Dont try this if u r not knowing what u r doing. Its ur own responsibility.
I have done successfully in my GALAXY ACE DUOS GT S6802
BACKUP THOSE SYSTEM FILES BEFORE U DO ANY MODDING
For this u will need :
1.Apk tool
2.root file explorer to push it from phone itself
>>First decompile required apk. [apk-tool recommended]
>>Make .xml changes [edit the clock, date, icons, etc]
>>save [ edit and save in notepad++]
>>recompile [apktool] [no-signing]
>>see log if any error in apktool folder
>> procced if not - [if there is something improper code u have placed - u have to see every code properly with the orignal .xml]
>>now u have two apks 1. orignal 2. modded
>> first push the modded one
>>if works !! great [Will surely not work for systemui.apk]
>> if not then open both apk using the 7zip [This will surely work for systemui.apk ] [Provided u didnt have changed the format of the xml]
>>copy the modded "compiled" .xml from modded apk to orignal apk to its corresponding location
>push the file [Orignal .apk file with the modded .xml ]
>now the file should work unless u have done any coding mismatch.
> Restart
>>Enjoy
Press thanks if u got success in modifying the files.
Any query u can ask freely
I searched at many place but didnt got an easy guide , so i tried 100's time to recompile and decompile the files finally , my own method worked and shared with u all

Removed clock from status bar completely.
For this I edited status_bar.xml and deleted whole clock code.

This method still fails when u edit smali files.
Actually I haven't still known the location of smali files after recompling in .apk file.

Let's Start:-
Firstly, Move your Settings.apk file to your "APKTOOL" Folder , And start the below steps
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Code:
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
NOTE- (The Above Code is <taframework>apk) So, Instead of "SemcGenericUxpRes.apk" you need to write your "<taframewokname>.apk"
Code:
apktool d Settings.apk
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Now go to xml folder.Search device_info_settings.xml and open it via Notepad++

Below this Lines:-
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/about_settings"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
And Save the file and close it
After This, you need to have a romlogo in specific resolutions of your device,
Put the file into:- drawable-**** (**** means mdpi/hdpi/xhdpi, etc).
The Banner/logo should be named as "romlogo" {Without Double inverted commas- " ")
Now come back to apktool Folder.
Now, We need to Recompile apk , so type the Below Code in Command Prompt:-
Code:
apktool b (Folder name)
Now We Need To Sign Apk for that proceed to Next Step
Now with Winzip/WinRar/7-zip, Open Original Settings.apk and Copy "Meta-inf" folder and "AndroidManifest" file
to your Decompiled folder "or" Setting-new folder/build/apk Like the Below Screenshots
After This, Come back to apktool folder and type the below code to Recompile apk

Well,,,I think this is w wrong place to post this buddy.
Firstly,your guide works with all phones..so move it to android general discussion,so that it will get views from all devices..
Secondly ,even if you post it in our device thread,post in general section...
Forum rules say that development area is ment for kernels ,Roms and mods..
Not guides..

maybe it is not compatible on other android versions? it works fine to me. try to merge it on your settings, decompile it, get the smalis, and also the resources. Compare the ids then recompile. There's a guide out there on how to add activity in settings.
