Look inside com.HTC.resources apk... HTC kinda suck in how they arrange things. Everything is connected to that file some how.
I'm sure you'll find it there.

Ya the resources.arsc is built from.the apk's info including xml edits you made during the compiling process if I didn't make the changes the.info won't be present in that file.
I know this mod has been done but I'm trying to apply this to my already modified Phone.apk so just looking for the xml I need so I don't have re-apply all my other mods.

[MOD][GUIDE] Remove Ongoing Notification

This is a quick way to remove the aggrivating Ongoing WiFi notification in the drop down menu. There may be other ways to do it via smali or xml but I have not found them yet so this will work for now.
I am including a flashable ZIP as well but it "may" cause issues if your on a custom ROM.
The Guide....
Decompile framework-res.apk
First verify these lines are not already there, if not, add the following code to res/values/drawables
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_connected">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_disabled">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_dummy">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_no_network">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_not_connected">false</item>
Remove the following .pngs from res/drawables-hdpi and drawables-xhdpi
Code:
stat_sys_wifi_connected.png
stat_sys_wifi_disabled.png
stat_sys_wifi_dummy.png
stat_sys_wifi_no_network.png
stat_sys_wifi_not_connected.png
Recompile and push to /system/framework
This is meant for a stock deodexed BLK3 Rom. Nandroid First!

Can you be more specific? Did it bootloop, get stuck on splash, or just not remove the ongoing notifications?
This is just a framework-res mod, so it should be fairly compatible with most roms, but if the rom your on has made changes to framework-res you may have complications.
I tested it on my stock BLK3 rom and it worked fine.

Just a fyi you don't have to add those lines in the xml. You can just 7 zip open the framework and delete the 5 pngs from the drawable/hdpi folder this how I've done all the jellybean leaks for everyone and causes no issues and you don't have to recompile so it's a little quicker.

This worked great for me on stock odex even. Framework-res is not an odexed file, so it should work on any "stock" unmodified framework. If used on a modded framework as the op says it will break those mods.

Thanks Man!

The way I did it was go into the WiFi settings then hit menu and then advanced. Then I proceeded to uncheck and turn off everything that would turn the WiFi back on. I'm running Jelly Bean's build 6. Hope this helps for someone that doesn't feel confident flashing or messing with decompiling.

I think everyone is confusing the ongoing wifi in pulldown with the pop up Window that scans for networks. This mod is to remove the ongoing wifi stuff that stays in the pulldown that can not be turned off unless already removed from the rom your running. The pop up Window can be disabled on any rom by going to the wifi settings and un checking notify me at the top. Hope this halfway clarifies.

+1 on just removing/renaming the png files. Works like a charm without any side effects that I've noticed.

Does anyone have the original stock framework-res.apk for jelly bean? Flashed this zip and everything was fine, but one of the only games I play does not work anymore. Thanks!

NM, just did a nandroid restore.

will try with deodexed 4.2 OTA and pos results

To anyone wondering it doesn't work with 4.1.2 VRBMB1 official stock rooted, you will get boot loops. Thank you for making this anyways though does anyone know any ways to remove the ongoing notification in VRBMB1?

I was able to rename the .png files on VRBMB1 without a problem. I adb pulled framework-res.apk, opened in 7-zip, deleted the 5 .png files, and copied the .apk back to /system/app/framework
Works just fine. Perhaps it's best to avoid decompiling/recompiling the framework. Using 7-zip is just fine.

Guys, the way i do it is just like the tutorial in the first post. Remove the PNG's and add the lines to drawable. The reason you add the lines to drawable is to retain the IDs in res/public. If you remove the PNGs then try to recompile you will get errors because there are still IDs in res/public that point to the now removed PNGs. If you try to remove the IDs from res/public then it will throw your hexidecimal ID order out of whack and will cause recompiling errors. Like the tutorial shows in the first post, by adding these lines to res/drawable
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_connected">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_disabled">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_dummy">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_no_network">false</item>
<item type="drawable" name="stat_sys_wifi_not_connected">false</item>
you still retain the IDs in res/public but they no longer point to the PNGs you removed, they now point to the dummy's you added to res/drawable.
If you want to just open the APK with winzip or whatever and remove the PNGs thats fine too, however, if you go to make other changes that would require you to decompile/recompile you will get errors.

[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.

[GUIDE][SecLauncher] Make seclauncher(samsung launcher) super snappy and fast

This guide is just a quick guide on making seclauncher faster by changing integers...
the only tool you need would be the one i made here - Quickmod tool
1. Decompile seclauncher (in my case seclaucher3.apk)
2. go to res/values and open integers.xml
3. Find this line (note, your integer value might be different in any of these steps)
NOTE: the lower the value the faster the launcher gets. mine just maintain the smootheness.
Code:
<integer name="config_workspaceUnshrinkTime">[COLOR="Red"]300[/COLOR]</integer>
Change it to
Code:
<integer name="config_workspaceUnshrinkTime">[COLOR="Blue"]250[/COLOR]</integer>
4. Find this
Code:
<integer name="config_appsCustomizeWorkspaceAnimationStagger">[COLOR="Red"]40[/COLOR]</integer>
Change it to
Code:
<integer name="config_appsCustomizeWorkspaceAnimationStagger">[COLOR="Blue"]30[/COLOR]</integer>
5. Find these
Code:
<integer name="config_crosshairsFadeInTime">[COLOR="Red"]600[/COLOR]</integer>
<integer name="config_dragOutlineFadeTime">[COLOR="red"]900[/COLOR]</integer>
<integer name="config_folderAnimDuration">[COLOR="red"]200[/COLOR]</integer>
<integer name="config_scrollZoneScrollDelay">[COLOR="red"]500[/COLOR]</integer>
Change them to
Code:
<integer name="config_crosshairsFadeInTime">[COLOR="Blue"]525[/COLOR]</integer>
<integer name="config_dragOutlineFadeTime">[COLOR="blue"]800[/COLOR]</integer>
<integer name="config_folderAnimDuration">[COLOR="blue"]175[/COLOR]</integer>
<integer name="config_scrollZoneScrollDelay">[COLOR="blue"]400[/COLOR]</integer>
6. Find this
Code:
<integer name="config_pagePreviewSnapDelay">[COLOR="Red"]400[/COLOR]</integer>
Change it to
Code:
<integer name="config_pagePreviewSnapDelay">[COLOR="Blue"]300[/COLOR]</integer>
7. This step the folder could differ, Go to res/values-sw359dp-xxhdpi <------ this could very likely be different.
8. Open integers.xml
9. Find this
Code:
<integer name="page_snap_animation_duration">[COLOR="Red"]520[/COLOR]</integer>
Change it to
Code:
<integer name="page_snap_animation_duration">[COLOR="blue"]300[/COLOR]</integer>
And thats it! recompile and feel how speedy/smoothe it is

thanks mate!

This sounds wonderful, but I have a question, if anyone can answer, if its this simple to make it much better, why is Sammy sending it out the way it is now aka crappy, when Sammy themselves could put it out with the new settings and be better out of the box. Do Sammy have a reason for sending out with the original settings? saving battery or some other reason?
I don't want to sound like I'm knocking your stuff but I don't understand why something this simple isn't already done.

Does someone know what I have to do to maximize the numbers of apps placed at the bottom of the screen?
I mean the place, where the menu icon is located. (is it called menu bar? I don't know )
And would it be possible to make this bar scrollable (like the homescreen itself)?

[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:

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.

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?
