[HELP] Looking for the best solution for game control

}
I am trying to add several game controls and stats display (i.e. score..etc) over my game similar as the sample above. What would be the best solution? I am thinking of overlay. If overlay is the best solution, would anyone able to offer some code sample of building a overlay control+display on top of a game? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is my main.xml layout file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
androidrientation="vertical" >
<home.net.RedAlertView android:id="@+id/RedAlertView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Fire!"/>
</FrameLayout>

I have two questions.
1. According to the document, FrameLayout stacks views one on top of other, How do I ensure the Button view is always stacked on top of my custom game view?
2. The custom game view constantly refreshes itself, how could I be certain it does not overwrite the button view (even if the button view is stack on top of it)?

heres where the code starts in tw_statusbar_expanded.xml
</LinearLayout>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.NotificationRowLayout android:id="@id/onGoingItems" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" systemui:rowHeight="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_height" />
you can read it there and modify as necessary

I was just coming back here to post I had found it. Figures!! Even though I changed this line earlier today and it didnt work, but that must have been a compile issue on my part.
SystemUI.apk > res > layout > tw_status_bar_expanded.xml

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/onGoingCart" android:background="#ff293945" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_category_height">

[tutorial] Remove StatusBar Clock For Roms without the option

This is A tut to remove the clock in the status bar clock. I have had a few request for this on a few roms. So I decided I would post how to do this.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Okay lets get to it.
Decomplete the SystemUI.apk
(If you have errors post them and I will do my best to help you out)
Next look in the layout fold.
Look for the status_bar.xml
Look for this line of code
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Delete it.
Then recomplete the apk.
(The same as before if you have errors post and I will do my best)

So, First target is get bigger toggles.
And i'm searching for dimension codes in layout and dimen.xml
So, i changed
Code:
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_height">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="notification_panel_brightness_height">48.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="notification_panel_widget_height">160.0dip</dimen> 48 to 160
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_and_widget">208.0dip</dimen> and equals
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_widget_and_brightness">208.0dip</dimen> same
<dimen name="notification_panel_header_and_brightness">96.0dip</dimen> same
but didn't work after also changed res/layout/system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml -
Code:
<TableLayout android:id="@id/icons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="16.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="16.0dip" android:stretchColumns="8" android:shrinkColumns="4" -- here 2,4 to 4
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
and then
power_widget_button.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/power_widget_button" android:background="@drawable/stat_power_background" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

android:scaleType="center" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>

i will do something like this
first get bigger toggles
and then change toggle button drawables with samsung toggles(not orginal one , create full drawable toggle like a in picture)
