how to add status bar transparencies in gingerbread :P

Tools you will need
-the original apk u want to modify +plus backup of it (framework apk & system ui.apk)
-system ui.apk located in system/app folder of any gb rom!!!!
-framework apk located in /system/framework folder any rom including cm7 -froyo miui ics so on lol...
-you will also need this zip which will be attached to the bottem of the post.
-also java sdk- properly setup will not go into this on this thread as it goes over -the scope of what im trying to show this is for people that already know and or -have some understanding of how to thme / modify a rom
-notepad++ for windows users
First off yor going to want to copy the contents of said zip into your framework apk
the location they need to be copied is /res/drawable-hdpi
all 3 files this will give u a transparent glass effect which will be what we are using
second off you will need apktool or equivalent but for this guide ill be going over how to use apktool to decompile and recompile it
copy your system ui to your apktool directory then open a command prompt in windows and navigate to that directory please refer to windows if you do not know how to change directories
apktool d systemui.apk ./systemui
you will see the progress
baslmaking.... copying resources xmls smali etc
you may get some ping 9 errors thats ok as we wont be using the modified apk just some of the files out of it once done
ok now you have your new shinny folder
navigate to res/layout
the file that needs modification is
status_bar.xml---OPEN THIS IN NOTEPAD++ OR YA MANY SPECIAL THINGS WILL HAPPEN
the second line should read or something similar
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#F0000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
you need to change it to this
com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView androidrientation="vertical" android:background="#77000000" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
most notably the #77000000
that will make your statusbar transparent
save your work!!!!!
take your systemui.apk and make a copy of it somewhere just in case
actually make 2
then rename the systemui.apk thats in the apkfolder to systemui.bak so it does not get overwritten!!!
then from your command prompt type this:
apktool b ./systemui systemui.apk
hit enter
it should now say smaling... rebuilding resources bla bla bla
and then after you have a shinny new apk
adb push that back to your device or flash via cwm
wala!!! if you loose your status bar after this happens lol it can happen
take the status_bar.xml out of the new systemui.apk and copy it into res/layout on one of the backups (hence why i said make a backup lol and flash that!!!
wala you should now have transparent status bar in your rom once its booted
(also note you may not see it if your launcher does NOT SUPPORT transparent status bars!!!!!) ADW IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS....
win!!!

the nice advange is i have a new method of doing it which will be added to the new update.... so long as yuor launcher supports
let launcher handle background images check box if you un check it the status bar is half transparent..
if you get tired of it check the box that says let the launcher handle it it goes back to being black so now u get the best of both worlds no need to re theme the rom

hey raver is there an easier way to do this or is this the only way i want to do this to my status bar but i dont know how to use apktool tried looking it up on the web still couldnt figure it out.

Just do it on UOT. it workd

oh for people that it dont work for if you ever used uot kitcen on ur system ui
You need to decompile your system ui
navigate to
systemui/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar
ticker smali
status bar smali
Look for const v4 it will have 0x03
those need to be cahanged to -0x3
also uot has a nasty habbit of addng new values in so if you see Const v0 0x03
change those to -0x03
recompile enjoy

hey raver have u done this to the roms u added status bar transparencies too. if so could i just take the ticker smali and statusbar smali out of your systemui and just use it in my systemui. will that work

hey im trying uot but it keeps giving me security error can anyone help..

It has nothing to do with smali. I will send them to you when I have my home computer

isn't it working perfectly on gio the one built by konstatin12 you could ask him you know. also 240x320 resolution is not currently present in the github repository for twrp (hence the project) so any help here is appreciated

Is the main file already edited anyhow?
I don't think there are 2400 lines to be edited. Not sure what to edit, can you please explain?
Afaik, you'll have to individually assign values to every variable, which in turn determines where it will be placed.
Like for example:
Code:
<object type="text" color="%text_color%">
<font resource="font" />
<placement x="65" y="39" />
<text>%tw_time%</text>
</object>
The "placement" has to be really carefully arranged, along with resizing the graphic elements as the case may require.
Atleast this is what I understand of this.

yes i agree currently there is no progress so no the orginal file is not edited also the ui.xml has to be edited in the general manner so that there are only minor edits to be done(i.e to get all elements to fit on our display then fine tuning can be done by the dev).

thats just wrong but did you make the changes to smali/java sources right.
so the rendering can go wrong there.:silly:
here you just fix the position of prerendered objects so the worst that can happen is a checkbox on top of a button.

As a matter of fact, I did not touch the smali sources.
This is what I get for messing with the assets folder.
We do need better ways to this. Imo, this approach won't work.

i am not an expert but i think that we have to reduce values of x axis by 280/320*100=87.5%
y axis by 320/480*100=66.666667%
that is x values will be x-(87.5% of x)
and y values y-(66.666667% of y)
may fix the issue

Here is a ldpi theme for TWRP，I tested it on my device，I fixed some pages.If you like it ,use it.
Maybe some pages still have display issues, you can edit it yourself .

hmm none the less if you can resize default theme it will allow the devs to build the recovery without any problems and also the res(320x240) will be supported officially.

It's OK.I built twrp 2.4.3 for my device with the ui .
The recovery looks well .
Just add it into gui. .240×320

just a thought maybe we could compile it at their resolution 320x400 and maybe change the build.prop in recovery to make it usable.just a thought correct me if im wrong..

I suggest that just make it first for mdpi then we will edit ui.xml...
Firstly we dont have it...then why to edit ui files...

[TUT] How to MOD 4.3 themes

Hi guys...
In 290 firmware (Android 4.3) we have new and nice theme engine which we can use to easily MOD our devices and make it more personal.
For now, we have only few themes (on market) and it's time that we buil/MOD our own...
It's very easy to do that...
You can change
* navigation bar
* status bar
* icons (Home launcher, nav bar)
* system backgrounds (in settings)
...and many other things...
I'll do some MOD after Xmas but for now (as I don't have free time) I give you this fast and easy "How to".
1.Download themes from XDA
DOWNLOAD 4.3 THEMES
2. Decompile theme
* you'll get this
{
"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",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Now go into the folder "assets"
* you'll see few zip files
#. android.zip - system buttons, checkbox and other png's
#. android.systemUI.zip - png's for systemUI change (here you can see png's for navigation bar)
#. com.sonyericsson.home.zip - well...this isn't hard to figure out - in this folder you can find icons and png's for Home launcher.
* like this :
4. Extract zip file - the one you wanna change...
For example, let's say, we want to change icons on navigation bar.
- Extract file to you apktool folder (com.android.systemUI.zip),
Rename com.android.systemUI.zip to com.android.systemUI.apk and decompile it like you decompiled main apk (theme)
go to folder res/drawable-xxhdpi, change or replace png's (back, home, menu...) save files (you must use same name and resolution)
5. Change png's you want to change
(it's just to show how to do it, don't use Paint for editing )
6. Recompile com.android.systemUI
and rename it back to com.android.systemUI.zip
6a. Copy com.android.systemUI.zip back to assets folder (delete old one first)
6b. Recompile theme
7. Install apk on your device like any other apk file.
If you can't install app and you get errors - ~ DO THIS
FOLLOW ME
And that's it....
It's easier than built theme from a scratch...
You can change settings background (android.zip/res/drawable-xxhdpi/semc_bg.jpg and semc_bg_light.xml) and many other things....
Be creative and when you build something - share here
As I said, I'll make something as soon as Xmas past....
don't forget to install new framework and semcgeneric apk on your PC - we have changed Android version and you could bump into compiling errors if you use framework from 4.2.2
Extract framework and semcgeneric apk from system/framework to your Apktool folder and
In CMD you have to write :
Apktool if framework-res.apk
Apktool if semcgenericuxpres.apk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMPORTANT
For now we are only succeeding to MOD and use MODed themes on stock based, rooted devices.
You'll need root - that's most important.
I'm developing/patching services.jar to bring this awesome themes for all - stock and stock based ROMs.
So try to use patched services.jar from second post on stock rooted 4.3 and please report.

Make sure you share your work with us
It's very simple to do that MODing, only thing you need is time, plenty of time - to change every png.
It's time for Z1 to have more stuff...
And it's not important how small MOD is - please, share it.
I know I will as soon as I find some free time (and that will ne soon, very soon)

With your turorial we can only edit png BUT .9.png cant => must decompiling #. android.zip OR #. android.systemUI.zip OR #. com.sonyericsson.home.zip for which we want to mod!
So use apktoll for that => edit .9.png => recompiling Zip => recompiling apk => everything OK => but when put to phone => cant install anymore => replace => cant use
I dont know why??

You can edit 9.png - just check tutorials online...
HOW TO EDIT 9.png"
If your decompilig and recompiling process went well - it must work.
What you can do, if you can't install apk, install app called zipsigner
ZIPSIGNER MARKET LINK and sign your edited app to your framework.
Then try to install it
Edit : you can use this tutorial for zipsigner app

@niaboc79 will know better but I'll try to explain.
Color.xml is only for signing the color not for using it.
You have to set color in color.xml and than you have to "call" this color in style.xml, layout or manifest...
You could change already assigned color in color.xml - but I'm not sure it'll work. (I'm guessing you tried that)
Android use only two modes for colors - dark and light, not colors - themes.
All other colors (in settings, taskmanager or systemUI) we can change by changing png's or editing smali files.

You are welcome...nice to see someone is building something.
When you make something interesting please share.
We have here many users that doesn't have skills to do that and it would be nice if we all help them.
- Basically, that should work but yeah, 4.3 is a bit different and we'll have to find a way to MOD that in some other way...

[DEV] [SMALI] Notification Panel Background (Without Effecting Lockscreen)

Howdy, everyone...
This is a custom class (extending ImageView) I made that will enable you to add a background/wallpaper to the notification panel, without effecting the lockscreen. If you use this (or any derivative thereof) in any release, please give proper credit and shoot me a link to the release...
How To Use
Download the linked zip file.
Decompile your SystemUI.apk.
Extract the zip file, and copy the entire "morningstar" folder to /smali/com/android in your decompiled apk.
Place your background image into the appropriate drawable folder.
Open /res/layout/status_bar_expanded.xml, and immediately following the line with the namespace declarations, add the following:
Code:
<com.android.morningstar.NotiPanelBG android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/your_background_drawable" />
Example:
{
"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",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
*Note: This class accepts all standard ImageView attributes, so adjust to fit your specific needs.
Recompile, push to your device, set permissions to RW-R-R, and reboot.
***Note***
You may have to make the layout change in one of the specific resolution layout folders, rather than in the main layout folder, depending on your device.

Oops. Sorry. Probably should have explained that in a slightly more user-friendly way lol.
The namespace declarations are simply the bits near the top of layout xmls that begin with "xmlns". For example:
Code:
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

no problem, the reason I got confused was because I stated android:backgroud in two place one in your code and the other in the actual status_bat_expanded.xml code (above namespace declaration) and because of that the image won't go off of the lock screen. So I thought that namesapce declaration was something else

Hello @Morningstar,
thank you for this custom class mate. The part about "not effecting Lockscreen" does this means the notification panel in lockscreen or also the wallpaper of the lockscreen. In short i have implemented a class for blured effect of the notification wallpaper and as you know since lollipop if you change the BG for the NPB it also changes the lockscreen wallpaper. like in the attached pics. Is it possible to merge those bothe smalis, so i have a blured NPB withou effecting the Lockscreen? I attached the smali for blured effect and if you have timeand muse to have a look - thank you. If not - still the same mate.

I cannot explain the full nature of this mod so give it a go.
Implementation Guide
1.Unzip the download files and place all of the MinitClock.smali files into SystemUI.apk/com/android/systemui/policy folder.
2.Make the changes to status_bar.xml as seen below. I have also include both the files below so you can run a diff to see the changes.
XML Source Code: status_bar.xml - Original
Code:
XML Source Code: status_bar.xml - Modded
Code:
Note there are 4 added lines 5,6,12,21 dont miss line 5 or your apk wont recompile. Also note the attributes threeminitosition="0" these mean:
threeminitosition="0" = right clock
threeminitosition="1" = center clock
threeminitosition="2" = left clock
adjust these as you need them.
3. push the contents of system/fonts from zip to your device
4. Install the included apk.

Mine done

I just start to learn this stuff but I'd have to say it's the + in between @ and id. Third line down.
Edit: I just viewed the XML on my phone there is no + sign. Remove that and you should be good

The only edits you make is in the status_bar.xml. Did you place the .smali files in the policy folder? Maybe I explained my first response wrong. In your edits you had @+id....
in line 3 but it should be @id. If you made an edit in your id.xml change it back

Just got out of work so I haven't done it yet. I'll hopefully get to it tonight. I really thought that + sign was it. If you have time start from scratch. I only looked at the zip in the op once but if I remember correctly it contains a modded and original status_bar.xml. View the modded XML in notepad++ side by side with your unmodified xml. Going one line at a time edit yours. Place the smali files in policy folder and before recompiling compare the xmls again just to make sure! Hope you get it working!!

My apologies my friend after reading the modded xml completely and more carefully there is a + sign in between @ and id. Feel free to back hand me for that one; lol! I'm going to bed now but if you don't have it working by the time I get up pm me your framework-res.apk and SystemUi.apk and I'll do yours before I do mine. For my stupidity I owe you that!

4.0+ or 5.0+?

I've had nothing but issues with this. Had a few errors when recompiling but I got them iron out but now the app won't open no matter what I do. I tried installing like normal, putting it into System/apps, in System/priv-apps but still it doesn't work. I'm on rooted stock 6.0.1 30M Nexus 6
