Ohhh guiess OP asking different thing
anyways @Dekill93 you just need some xml editings
what you have to do is to adjust workspace of homescreen of that launcher.
you've made this launcher locked landscape view so check this :
decompile launcher apk
go in system/layout/workspace_screen.xml
PHP:
launcher:cellWidth="@dimen/home_cellWidth" launcher:cellHeight="@dimen/home_cellHeight"
its original portrait view workspace for launcher & you have to set this to landscape view
so may be make changes like this
PHP:
launcher:cellWidth="@dimen/home_cellHeight" launcher:cellHeight="@dimen/home_cellWidth"
& make some changes in other xmls too which relate to that square part of homescreen.​

+1! Lost my modded wallpapers with the fake shadow, Please share!

ok
Hello,
there are many ways to make status bar shadow, here's I share the simple way..
1. after decompile your systemUI, Go to SystemUI.apk\res\values and open drawables.xml and focus on this line and remove it:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</item>
2. create file : \SystemUI.apk\res\drawable\status_bar_background.xml and fill with this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#00000000" android:endColor="#66000000" android:angle="@integer/status_bar_recents_bg_gradient_degrees" name="status_bar_background" />
</shape>
in previous guide, the developer wrote "android:endColor" with value "#99000000", it's your choices...
3. Compile it. Done.
Download HERE from Sweet ROM 10.5 Black

[[GUIDE]] Header: Lollipop Style!

For L Style Header[Advanced] go HERE
For Panel Transparency go HERE
For adding L Style Date/Clock View go HERE
To add Battery/WiFi/Bluetooth/Alarm icons in Header go HERE
Yo guys! Today I am here with a simple tutorial to create a look alike L Style Header in notification Panel!
I was just playing with the layouts and made this
STEP 1:
1.Decompile SystemUI.apk.
go to res/layout/ and open status_bar_expanded_header.xml [MTK]/ tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml[Samsung]
In second line find:
Code:
android:background="blablabla"
Make it look like this:
Code:
android:background="#ff243137"
Now in same XML find the rest
Code:
android:background="blablabla"
And replace all with this: [Keep android:background="#ff243137" as it is ]
Code:
android:background="#00000000"
Recompile the SystemUI. Don't sign it yet.
STEP 2
Now,
2.Again go to res/layout/ and open status_bar_expanded_header.xml [MTK]/ tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml[Samsung]
Download the attached zip here, Extract the zip and paste l_header.9.png to res/drawable-hdpi or drawable-mdpi or drawable-xxhdpi [What your device has by default]
Find this in second line of the XML:
Code:
android:background="#ff243137"
Make it look like this:
Code:
android:background="@drawable/l_header"
Save the XML.
Now navigate to res/values/ and open dimens.xml and search for
Code:
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_height">48.0dip</dimen>
Change it to
Code:
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_height">96.0dip</dimen>
Save the XML.
Recompile the SystemUI, sign, push to system/app with permissions 644

[[GUIDE:MTK]] Show/Hide L Panel

For L Style Header go HERE
For L Style Header[Advanced] go HERE
For Panel Transparency go HERE
For adding L Style Date/Clock View go HERE
To add Battery/WiFi/Bluetooth/Alarm icons in Header go HERE
Yo guys! I am here with a simple tutorial for Show/Hide L panel in MTK devices[only] {Or the devices which have flip_settings.xml in res/layout of their UI.}
So, if you have followed this guide by @EboyBasit already,
and also followed this add on by me already[not compulsory], then you may proceed to the next step, that will make you show hide your L Panel with just one click.
Let's start!
1.Decompile your SystemUI.
2.Navigate to res/layout and open gemini_status_bar_expanded.xml, and cut your L Toggle code from the xml.
For example, in my case, I shall cut this code from my XML.
Code:
<include layout="@layout/ani_ltoggle" />
3.Close the XML.
4.Now navigate to res/layout and open flip_settings.xml
Look for this line:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.QuickSettingsContainerView android:id="@id/quick_settings_container" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:animateLayoutChanges="true" android:columnCount="@integer/quick_settings_num_columns" />
Now, replace the WHOLE line with your L Toggle code.
For example, in my case, my flip_settings.xml would now look like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.QuickSettingsScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/close_handle_underlap" android:overScrollMode="ifContentScrolls"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<include layout="@layout/ani_ltoggle" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.QuickSettingsScrollView>
Now close that XML, and Recompile the UI.
Sign. Push to system/app with permissions 644.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE EXACTLY?​The thing is, we have replaced the stock flipped settings with our L Panel! That means, when you click for second screen, the L Panel will appear!

Hi Bro
I compiled
The button action works but the panel is under the notification cart and upper at header. ( Like the stacked cards)
Maybe this happened because the FrameLayouts positions and the headers must be separated by FrameLayouts
I tried others postions and insert linears layouts , animes by smalis 1 and 3 but no success. Do you have another sugestion?
