8.After the necessary changes save the file and recompile systemui.apk
9.After recmpiling you can push it to system using ADB or i made a .zip to flash it in recovery.(Just put SystemUI.apk in system/app and you are ok) Just whatch out for the name as it should be exactly the ssame as it was before.

Got it working... FINALLY
OK first of all thanks for this, makes a huge difference on the notification pullup and dropdown speed.
I couldn't apply the path with just the regular apktool, tried different revisions and none worked until I found apktoolsjb on this forum

Thanks again

it is in that folder for sure. have followed the guide step by step? maybe u havent decompiled just extracted the apk.

On Note 2 (and probably other Samsung devices) there is no layout.xml, but values are inside smali file (SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\R$layout.smali). However those are in hex format which I cannot decode.
.field public static final self_collapse_velocity:I = 0x7f0c001c
.field public static final self_expand_velocity:I = 0x7f0c001b

Above value translates to 2131492892 as integer, which makes zero sense. Probably some kind of float value?

Try to check for that id (0x7f0c001c and/or 0x7f0c001b) in res/values/ids.xml. It could point to any value in any of the xml inside res/ folder.

No xml file contains those values (I ran search over whole folder). Only before mentioned R$layout.smali and com\android\systemui\statusbar\phone\PhoneStatusBar.smali

Linux
Any way I con do this in Linux, ubuntu to be specific.
I figured it out, Ijust hope I can put back into .apk format.

Be careful:
"dp" was actually called "dip" in early versions of the SDK. They changed it to "dp" shortly after.

That screenshot isn't from a 4.1/4.2 rom - So anyone who wants to try this and has 4.2 (I'm having 4.2.2), change only the values. leave the "dp" as is, don't change it into "dip".
OP - you might as well write this down!

Great, some developer with Xposed skills to do that through an Xposed module .... (You know that would be great)

I used your MOD as an Add On for my ROM. I hope thats ok credit was given (see bottom of OP). Thanks for the Info..

Check your ROM if it is odex, check /system/app/ if there is SystemUI.odex. You need to deodexed if first so you can edit. However you can also di it using baksmali you just need the SystemUI.odex.

Replacing systemui.apk will mess up your phone. You will be in bootloop. The reason is it will reboot automatically even before you set its permission. Since you won't be able to set its permission, you will be in bootloop.
So create a flashable zip instead of replacing apk.

or you copy the apk to system, set its permission and past it then in system/priv-app, or you can use Sysfile Copymaster . Just some more options...

Shutter Sound Setting in Camera[Easy Method]

Im new here so i dont know if this is the right forum for this anyways lets start
this mod will enable you to have shutter setting in Camera.
Rooted Phone only.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Install Root Explorer and SQLite Editor find one if you dont have yet.
2.Open Root Explorer go to system>csc find feature.xml
3.Open feature.xml in Text Editor search for
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
change false to true.
4.Now lets go to SQLite Editor search for Setting Storage > Settings.db > system and then search for "csc_pref_camera_forced_shuttersound_key" change the value from 1 to 0.
5.Restart you phone then check if you have it on your Camera settings
Im using Galaxy S4 E330L but im pretty sure it will work on any Galaxy S4 version.
See attachments for more info about the steps.

Before I try this, can you confirm that this also works with Android 5.0.1 (Stock Rom,rooted) ?
And will this remove all camera sounds? I already renamed some of the .ogg files, so most sounds are gone (start/stop video, shutter etc.).
But the most annoying sound (for me) is still there - the constant beeping when taking a panorama shot.
I also couldn´t get rid of the sound in the mode selection (the clicking sound when flicking through the modes).

it will work on 5.0.1 and yes it will disable the sound of video and camera shutter,burst shot etc . Actually you dont need to change any ogg file with this mod.
sound that you cannot remove(yet):
Mode Selection
Setting Clicks.

Some stock ROM or CSC does not allow you to turn off camera sound. Your method can get the menu appear, but user can't select Off
I believe you use a custom ROM on your E330L, not stock one.

How To Modify Themes From Theme Store For S6/Note5 Roms.

Hello again everybody!
So today I have a way for you to modify themes that are from official samsung theme Store, the method is hard and it does take a lot of time so bare with me.
First of all you will need a rooted device, obviously lol
Also you will need to have, root explorer and xploer. Now for the stepes:
1- Open root explorer and go to Data > App
2- You will see many many folders for the theme, in my case I will modify something in the home screen so the folder should have your theme name and then home and the end like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.home-1 )
3- Open the folder you will find an apk called base.apk
3- copy that apk and paste To somewhere else
4- Open explore and find the copied Base.apk
5- modify the things you want, for an example I changed the folder Look, I took a folder icon, renamed it To .qmg instead of .jpg then renamed that icon exactly like the folder icon For the theme, then deleted That old One and replaced it with the new one. ( do the same with any icon you want in any base.apk)
6- Open root explorer, take the new modified base.apk and replace it with the old one, set permissions And then reboot.
If it didn't work On the first time then apply the theme then apply another theme And then apply the theme again.
This may not be the best way, but it's the only way to modify them so far.
Do not copy my method on any place without my permission!! Thank you.
Hit Thanks if you liked it!

Thank you for the tutorial ��

Go to the same place, find a folder named your theme and then wallpaper like this ( minuhome.FranceParis.wallpaper ) you will find an apk inside called base.apk go inside, then go inside res And then you will find 3 wallpapers, one for homescreen one for lockscreen, one for Sview cover.

I know that as I have done that Before. ..But what about the settings page,contacts page And other pages wallpaper...How to change them...bcoz for changing wallpapers of homescreen,lockscreen and s-view we don't have to modify an apk we can simply change it Through settings...

Hello MrHollywood, looks like no one has posted here for a while but I'll give it a shot and hope for a reply/help. Your instructions are great, I've been wanting to know how to do this since my Galaxy S6.....I'm now onto an S8, rooted and rockin' an altered theme thanks to you! I have been able to use another themes icon pack with success, however when I use another theme's "InCallUI" (accept, reject, hangup icons in phone dialer) I cannot get them to stick. They will stay for a duration then default back to the Samsung goofy cartoon icons. I know that restarting phone triggers the reset but it also randomly triggers without restart. I can get them back by applying another theme then re-applying my theme....but a bit of a pain to have to do everytime!
What I have done, as per your instructions, is taken the "InCallUI.apk" out of theme's "base.apk", edited it and replaced. I have also placed that same edited InCallUI.apk into; Data > Overlays > Style > mytheme folder, then changed permissions to "rwx r-- r-w". I use these permission because all the other apk's in this folder use them.
Any advise or corrections in what I'm doing would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
