Ok,
Since people have had some problems with losing reboot options, xloud, etc. from flashing older packages I am going to remove them & make this thread exclusively for Wolfbreak's 2.3.3 rom v6 (or latest). As of now it is the rom I use and the only one I can test properly and guarantee working. I am only including the framework-res.apk in these zips and not framework.jar or android.policy.jar, etc. so they will not add functionality to other roms and will only work with roms that share the same features as WB's.
Remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kitchen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
*Note-You will not need to mount anything special when installing these. Flash as a custom zip in xrecovery as you normally would.
Zipaligned,for her pleasure.

Thanks to MrRusch & _calum_ for doing this originally
Thanks Frosty666 for initial screens & testing
Thanks to 10asseye & zorglub08 for the icon fix & keeping up with this when I wasn't.
Hit "Thanks" if you use it
Great work, we needed something like this. The default battery icon is useless.
I'm just backing up and downloading now. I will report back in about 10 minutes with the results. I'm using Wolfs's 2.3.3.
EDIT:
Works fine on Wolfs 2.3.3. Only one small bug; when charging, on the lock screen where it displays the battery level, the icon is slightly cut off at the top and bottom. No biggie though. Good work AyDee.
Screenshots are attached.
Great, thanks for confirming! Between my daughter's birthday and other stuff I haven't had a second to sit down & flash the SE 2.3 yet.. Tomorrow!!
I will fix the icons that are cut off and make an xrecovery zip soon.
And hopefully we'll see some themes pop up in the next few days using this
This is now flashable via xrecovery.
Also, the lockscreen images should be fixed.
Sorry for the double-post... Cheers!
Flashed worked absolutely fine.

Handset will reboot while you long press the power button to invoke the power menu with Wolfbreak's GB_V06.
I have installed new Wolf firmware 006 and this Battery Mod crashes when you press power button.
I was loving this circle mod until I started to investigate (why crashes with Wolf Mod) and If I can solve it and I found A VERY STRANGE THING (for me):
Can you tell me why do a battery mod that only changes Notification Icons does need ALL this strange permissions?:
*Your Personal Information: read contact data, read user defined diccionary, write contact data
*Services that cost you money: directly call phone numbers
*Your messages: modify Gmail, read Gmail
*Your location: coarse network/gps location
*Network communication: control near field communication, create Bluetoot connections, full internet access
*Your accounts: use te authentication credentials of an account
*Phone Calls: read phone state and identity
*Hardware controls: change your audio settings, record audio
*Systems tools: bluetoot admin, change Wifi state, change UI settings, disable keylock, modify global system settings, mount and unmount filesystems, prevent phone from sleeping, write access point name settings, write sync settings.
I fixed the charging/low battery icons, one pixel line was cut at the bottom.

WTH are you talking about? How are you even trying to install this? If you are trying to install framework-res.apk with an app installer it won't work. Framework-res.apk may need those permissions since it tells the ui how to behave for all of those actions but I honestly have never dealt with permissions when installing.

Awesome, got your PM & I'll update soon.
I originally made this since UOT Kitchen was down and there was no circle battery mod out yet. I will continue to update it to make it easy to just download & install, but remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kichen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
Cheers!
*Edit- There is a fix for Wolfbreak's 006 rom, see OP
Yes i did installed with xrecovery in update 005. But when I've installed firm 006 at first circle battery wasn't functioning so i tryed to extract it and install the apk only to check if that helped and this permissions issue came up... I really dont like that this mod has all this permissions.

Trailblazer101's Custom Framework Maker v6
Now with my batch program, creating your own personalized Framework is as simple as 1.2.3!
This batch created by me was created with the "noob" in mind.. Of course this "noob" must already have Java installed, and should have ADB set up correctly
Features:
- Easy-To-Use Framework Chooser (with support for your own framework!)
- Softkey Themer (with easy access to create your own!)
- Custom Softkey Mapping Support (Nexus S included, easy to create and add your own!)
- 1.2.3 Package Creating (and Pushing/Rebooting into Recovery too!*)
- Unique Ticker Clock Color Selection (type in whatever color you can think of!*)
-Weather Icon and/or History Button Removal! (Actually removes the Icons, not just blanks them over!)
-Drag-and-Drop Functionality! (Includes all the tasks that you will ever want to do with an *.apk or *.jar)
-Automatically Checks for Updates! (Warns you if there in an update, displays text about the update, and opens up your browser to this page )
-Option to Set my Program as the Default Action for APKs and/or JARs! (So when you click on an APK and/or JAR, it'll open up my program!)
-Lots of Extras and Bugfixes! (Check it out!)
Developer's Mode! (You can find the option to enable it in Extras -> Program Settings!)
Future Proof! and Bug fixes (The method it now uses to set the Ticker Modifications works no matter what is going on with your Standbymode.xml file!)
Ability to Change Pressed Clock Color!* (You must be on a ROM that supports this to notice any changes...)
NEW: Compatibility with Gingerbread Mods!
NEW: Shows History in the choose file screen!
NEW: Set Update Settings from Program!
The function of this Program to create a new, all your own, Flashable Package that has your own personal touch to it
The wonderful thing about this program is that you can use this with any old framework-res file from any rom/mod package! This means that you can create your own themed framework from DJ20 up to EC07
There are only two stipulations: 1) that you are running a deodexed rom, which means that there are no .odex files located withing the system/framework folder or system/app folder... If you are in doubt about this, a stock rom straight from the store will NOT work! But pretty much any rom found on this website works 2) You have Java installed, and should have ADB properly set up!
Now, let's get down to specific details about the different functions and terminology:
1) Towards the top of the main page is very important! This is an easy view of what settings you currently have applied Always keep an eye out on this, to make sure that you have selected everything that you want to select!
2) Default= Not Changed... Whatever the previous framework had, this option will allow the new framework to have it too... This includes history button/weather icon removal!
This Just In: Add your own Color to the Ticker Clock! This is still in beta stages, so be careful when changing the color... If you see any error messages, DON'T ATTEMPT FLASHING THE PACKAGE... But if it works for you, you have the easy and convenient ability to set any color you want for the Clock in a matter of seconds!
Also, You can now remove the Ticker Buttons on the main screen automatically, within seconds! And the icons are removed, not just covered up!
A new feature recently added was the option for custom Softkey Mapping! This setting can be found under extras, then under Softkey Remapping As of right now there is only the Nexus S remapping, with the original added in in case anyone flashed the Nexus S one and wants to make a new package to go back, but you can make your own easily! Just use the original mapping as a starting point, and go from there
You are more than welcome, and actually encouraged, to add your own! You can copy in your own personal framework, and you can make your own folder with your own Images!
*Notice: Make sure if you do make your own images that the image names are the same as the original! This is important, or the batch will not work!
I have said this before, and I will say this again... Please, for the sake of the community, if you make a package, please upload it I will be more than happy to share it on the front page of one of my Threads, giving you all of the credit
If you have found this Batch helpful, almost to the point of a godsend, you can click that Donate to me button if you want

hmmm well tried v3,
adb said successful push, wasnt, did it manually.
ticker color mod created w/o previous error via v2
flashed and after pause on bootup went black and did the vibrating jig.
restoring now...
tested w/o success gonna try with my pulled frameworks, might be because of recent added settings mod.
great job non the less tb101!
Yeah, build v2 didn't actually say an error message when it should've, so that is actually a good thing kinda, haha...
Can you tell me please what settings you applied? Like, what framework, softkeys (if any), auto-create etc etc
BTW: I am on the IRC, that might be faster
yeah i havent done anything to my phone since the restore after the failed flash.
i used the ec07 builtin frameworks, original softkeys, and purple color on ticker lol.
i opted to push in adb and it said it was successfully pushed, but it wasnt.
side note:
been real busy with tune up etc on the cars i own and work. hopefully this weekend i can try again. and fully set up my new to me dual screen xp64 media pc with adobe master suite. partitioned correctly this time to install the droid dev kit in windows and live cd....
updated OP with new version! has Weather Icon and History button removing
finally thanked the post, cause.... it finally worked for me. thanks again.
is there a dif from op and the one i got last night?
Haha, thank God it finally works for you xP you were like the only one xP
And uh, not anything big I don't think, haha... But probably safe to switch to this version anyways, just in case xP

Whenever I choose to remove the ticker history button and push the framework to my phone my phone won't boot afterwards. I've tried twice
Can you look in the log for me and see if anything is error-ish?
And how are you pushing the framework?
And are you using a framework that matches your current set up?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
I didn't notice any errors. I pushed it using the script and doing it myself through adb like I always have. Yea I'm using the framework that I pulled from my phone right before using the script.

in irc now... lets see where ur at
I'm in the irc now, let's figure all this out, shall we?
DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE...BE SURE TO BACKUP AS ALWAYS!
Install Instructions (i advise reading this entire post but please at least read the UPDATE sections)
1. Flash stock rom (this mod SHOULD work with any firmware...newest MF1 link below) using odin
2. Install CWM or TWRP recovery
3. Flash Deodexed zip (will need to re-root afterwards)
4. Edit your build prop by adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the very bottom (u may also want to change your dpi...134 is my preferred number)
5. Install xposed framework along with the TAB UI module and enable (see post #4)
6. Flash the V5 file below (u will need to manually delete the flashbarservice.apk if coming from V3) followed by forcecloseapps.zip (if neccessary)
Known Issues
1. minimized apps will randomy disappear
2. help button will force close systemui
3. navigation buttons are shifted slightly to the right in phablet (right handed users can consider this a "feature" :silly
After months of messing around i have FINALLY managed to figure out how to enable multi window on our devices...its not perfect but it works. First, in order to use this mod(as of right now anyway) u will need to be on a DEODEXED rom & need to find & flash your respective version below via recovery. After the rom reboots, go to "settings - display" and u should see "Multi window" with a check already next to it. Simply uncheck it then immediately recheck it and VOILA! u should see the multi window flashbar on the left side of your screen. Open it by touching the tab & u will notice a very limited number of apps already included and an "edit" button to add more but the problem is the list will be empty. There are 2 ways to fix this..the easiest would be to download "SAMSUNG MULTI WINDOW MANAGER" from the market and the other would be to install the XPOSED framework(my preferred way due to all the other options it provides) as well XPOSED muliti window apps manager module. Refer to post #4 for instructions on how to install & setup XPOSED...also attached are a few of my other favorite modules. Any apps that are already on the list or added with one of the mentioned methods when opened the regular way will have a restore/maximize icon(familiar for those of u who work with windows) located usually in the top right corner or bottom right corner(will provide example screenshots below). Clicking this icon will alternate u between windowed mode & full screen...i'm not quite sure if there is a limit on how many floating windows u can have simultaneously. If u prefer to just have 2 apps side by side or on top of each other(depends on orientation) then simply open then multi window bar & drag your first app to which ever position u would like(u will see the spot highlighted blue). Simply repeat for the opposite position and there u have it...working multi window mod. Of course there are a few issues but the benefits outweigh the problems in my book. First, not all apps were made with windowed mode in mind so some may not look right or function properly...with that said u MAY need to mess around with the dpi(will include the XPOSED module to do so for indiviual apps) or find replacements altogether though personally i havent had much trouble out of the 100+ i have on my phone. The minimize & dual pane resize functions do not work as of yet and this mod also will kill your mini apps bar when in tabletui but since almost any app can now be used in minimode it really doesn't matter. Let me end by asking that ANY dev/user who is willing to improve this mod by combing through the code feel free to contact me anytime...i'm a complete newb(as u can probably tell since this is my first thread) so i could use all the help i can get
UPDATE V3: Ok, so...here's a new version of the mod and although it contains no new features i did manage to fix a few things such as the lockscreen, notification icons, and dialer app(see instructions below). Since this update seems to be superior to V2 in every way, i will be removing the links and altering instructions in order to cut down on confusion. This time the mod will be PHABLET mode only(unless @chrisrotolo would be willing to modify the files for us) which means u will also lose the 4way reboot function but if u would still like to use tablet mode of course u can install XPOSED with the tabletui module(u should perform this step first which SHOULD eliminate the need to edit your build prop). For those of u who are coming from a clean install or the previous tabui4way version u MUST EDIT YOUR BUILD PROP(easiest way would probably be "build prop editor" in the play store) by adding the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" at the very bottom of the file BEFORE u flash the phablet file for your device...once u have edited & saved the file simply reboot into recovery & flash the V3 zip for your device then u should be good to go. For the others who are already using phabletui or XPOSED tablet module u SHOULD only need to flash the V3 version over your current mod...once again, i will need P6200 users to test & report their results. Please note that this mod MAY NOT be compatible with the touchwiz launcher which means u might need to install an alternative homescreen app from the market( i personally use "apex launcher" and completely uninstall touchwiz home)...i also would like to mention that some users have stated that a factory reset MAY be needed. As a small additional bonus...it seems that this update also enables/fixes the lockscreen ripple effect(thanks to @loolser for pointing that out)
DIALER FIX: If u would prefer the stock dialer to work or like me have just grown frustrated that clicking missed calls causes your tablet to freeze then this is the solution. First, u MUST install XPOSED framework along with the "app settings" module(see post 4 for details)...once u have installed & enabled the module then click on the "app settings" icon and click "contacts". At the top left u should see an on/off switch(green means on)...turn it on and set DPI to 176 and Screen (dp) to 800 x 1280 and then select save. You will be asked if u would like to kill the app simply select yes and then exit the app...click on dialer which should now be working although u may need to reboot and/or clear data in both "contacts" & "phone" in "settings - application manager"
A few more notes to add just in case u didn't know...the paid version of "samsung multi window manager" allows u to create shortcuts(both apps & bookmarks) directly on your home screen and open them automatically in windowed mode(u can also specify the default size for each windowed app as well). I just recently realized that if u simply click on the app in the multi window bar instead of dragging it out that will also open the apps directly in windowed mode and make them automatically cascade too. If u don't like the placement of the bar on the left side of the screen then simply click the tab to open the flashbar then touch and hold the tab again which allows u to drag it over to the right side. Oh yeah, just because u see the shiny new allshare cast button in your notification controls after u flash V3 does NOT mean u should push it...it will most likely freeze/reboot your tab(yeah, i had to find out the hard way...lol) but if only we could get that working, hmmmm
Black Bar: The white flashbar just didn't quite look right so i took a lil time to create a black translucent multi window bar with red arrows...hopefully u guys will like it as much as i do. All u have to do is overwrite the "flashbarservice.apk" located in "system - app" with the one attached below and be sure to set the proper permissions then reboot your tab...will add a few screenshots below so let me know if u like the new look!
4wayReboot: I missed the 4way Reboot option so i've created a zip that can be flashed over the top of our current V3 mod...I need a P6210 owner to test report as usual
UPDATE V5: I've actually had this new version finished for about 2 months but have been messing around trying to fix the minimize feature with no results...since this is an improvement over V4 due to a few bug fixes, the biggest of which being the force close in phablet mode, i will be removing the links to the previous version. There are really no new multiwindow related functions except multiinstance should now work (although not with all apps) and minimize is enabled by default (apps will still disappear randomly so its not much use)...i'm sure u guys will encounter some problems that i may not have discovered so please feel free to report your findings so we can iron out any issues. I will also link to a separate zip below which includes apps that are known to force close after the mod is flashed (almost all samsung stock apps) so most of u will need to flash it as well....please note that i MAY need to create a separate version for the P6210 so please test and let me know. There are actually a few new non multiwindow related extras if u flash the new version...ink effect is now enabled, the video player will now have live video previews for the thumbnails (if u flash the forcecloseapps.zip) and the best to me i the ability to swap out & rearrange the order of the quick panel toggles in the "settings/display" menu (u will notice other extra options since the file is from the note 8 but some obviously wont work such as the spen related functions)

dude this is epic. nice job. how long did this take you?
And to comply with rules, you should at least give some info how you did this. I would also suggest setting up a donate button, just in case.
I would encourage you to share with Tab 2 guys who are documenting changes @ github, also the 7.7 guys will be interested as well, maybe they will even tweak/fine tune your code.
Looks really nice. Thanks dude.
XPOSED framework
as i promised...here goes the xposed installer along with a few modules that will help u out. The multi window apps manager(the developer doesnt want the apk reposted so i instead provided a link to the original thread) will allow u to enable any app to work in floating/dual screen mode, the "app settings" module will let u set individual dpi settings for apps, & "tweakbox" has various options such as volume button music controls & call recording! I also have a play store fix module(useful if u change your dpi) if u may be having issues & a module to enable tablet mode without flashing...if anyone is interested i will upload upon request.

Thanks a lot mate, you saved me a lot of work.
Actually I had managed by myself to get the multi windows working, with the icon in the notification bar and the option to activate it in settings.
The only problem is that it didn't display well and I needed to mod some files to get it working, and I didn't have the time to do this.
And now you come with the full mod, yesssssss!
Thanks again, I download everything and I report layer.
By the way, I see that in your list of apps there is the latest xposer installer and the latest appsettings, where did you get them?
The villainrom website wasn't working these last weeks, does it mean that they are back?
Well i downloaded 2 version of p6210, @ mw mod +tab ui ive got freezes after 2 times i just backed to standard ui n installed mw mod there. Generally its working well, but 1st problem is i cant open 2 times same application (for example browser), next problem is buttons near miniaps wont work, are like dead.

@unclefab if u go to the xposed thread using the link i provided in the first post u should see the latest xposed & then there is a link to a temp page(i think villain is indeed still down) with a bunch of modules including app settings 0.4(although all of them aren't up to date)
@loolser I actually just edited one of my posts above to provide a link to the multiwindow apps manager module thread where the developer states that "not all apps can be run in multiple instances" & specifically lists browsers as NOT working but there is always a way so i'm sure someone will figure it out as far as the bottom buttons, as of right now those do not work so dont worry about them...actually part of the reason it took so long to get this mod working was because i was too focused on trying bring those dead buttons back to life.
You may have already done so, but if not you might try contacting the OPs on some of the multi-window ROMs on the Galaxy S3 development forum to get some pointers on how they implemented these features in their TW ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1672
amazing mod, congratulations. here in p6210 worked perfectly. Xposed installed module to put other applications on multiwindows
Regarding phone app, try logcat.
Yeah that would be a definte deal breaker
I did some testing and it works fine.
Regarding the problem with the mini apps I can't tell, I had removed that stuff from the first day.
All my apps open, including the browsers, but some behave a bit strangely. It has nothing to do with this mod, they have the same funny behavior on my galaxy grand that has multi windows out of the box.
The only thing is that the minimize button doesn't work, hopefully it will get fixed over time.
By the way, this mod works without the flash bar app so one can remove it if one wants (I did it and my tab didn't explode )
If someone has apps that don't open one can try to add them manually following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068796"
Yep, the villain web site is still down but I downloaded everything from your links, thanks for that.
Thank you again for this mod, that was the last thing I needed. I always thought that no multi windows ability was a big drawback, and I craved for it since the days of honeycomb
This plus Chris' tablet ui mod, it's like a dream...

yeah u should be able to remove both the "flashbarservice apk", "com.sec.feature.flashbar.xml", as well as "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml"(which simply supplies the selection in settings menu which u wont need without the flashbar) files without MUCH consequence...all of these can be found in 'SYSTEM - ETC - PERMISSIONS" The reason i chose to still include it is because the window resize function is broken and dragging from the bar allows the apps to be automatically sized to exactly half the screen(shown in the screenshot with the chess & maps app) which is what the dead buttons on the status bar SHOULD be doing *shrugs*
as another option, u can replace the "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.tablet.xml" with "com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.xml"(dont forget to change permissions) & it will add a multi window toggle to the notification panel BUT u will ONLY be able to use dual panel mode(with a small plus of having a button to make the apps switch sides) or in other words the flashbar will be the only way to get 2 apps on the screen because it will disable floating windows! i'm not sure why someone would ONLY want this functionality instead of the floating windows as well but i will attach the aformentioned file below anyway in case anyone is interested
View attachment com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone.rar
OFF-TOPIC: But i DEFINTELY agree...my device is now almost perfect. The only thing really left to do now is mod my hdmi dock by adding a usb port to it so i can connect to the tv, watch movies from my external hd, AND charge the tab at the same time which is what samsung should have done from the start but thats another thread...anybody else thats interested in doing this can check out the topic in the accessories section linked below(thats actually one of the few things i would be willing to pay someone else to do for me though)

i actually JUST finished making a thread in the 7.7 general section looking for someone to provide me their android.policy.jar so i could make a zip for u guys. If u could upload yours that would be awesome...of course it must be 4.1.2 DEODEXED & preferably stock. The files came from the note 8 & all i did was add the multi window folder which is basically missing in every device without working multi window...the real magic(for us anyway) is HOW i figured that out which was to focus on the combination of the files from different versions rather than the code itself
So i was just informed that the official 4.1.2 update is not out yet but i did see the "erobot" rom which i'm assuming is a port but i guess that still could work
yup... just read the post you left... this is the android.policy.jar from e-robot... its actually base on Official stock JB for 6800... the 3g/wifi version... they still waiting thr wifi (6810) version JB release... but for 6800 was already being like a month...
erobot basically using the tw from 6200 for the phonetab ui. and some files from note 8 as well
THEDEVIOUS1, do you mind uploading your MC3 Deodexed ROM? A lot of people would probably use it. I can't seem to deodex mine. Thanks!

are u saying the buttons located at the bottom on the status bar are not working because if so thats a known issue. Did u go into settings & uncheck then immediately recheck the multi window selcetion under display(neccessary to get the dock to show up the first time)? What happens when u hit the maximize/restore icon in the top/lower right corner? Does the app float or does the icon even appear at all?
sorry...didnt see the picture u provided

Tutorial for quick hiding softkeys without hiding notification bar.
As I was looking for an option to hide the softkeys and I couldn't find the way. After small research and testing I am presenting to you my idea.
Here is a small tutorial. (NOTE! IF YOU THINK THIS THREAD SHOULD NOT BE THERE PLEASE REPORT TO MOD TO MOVE IT)
What you will need:
Rooted phone
Of course a phone (Sony Xperia L C2105/C2104)
How To Root your phone:

Instructions:
Easier Option: (Note! For people that don't won't to use third party apps scroll down to harder option).
Firstly you will have to download the following apps:
GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys)
Pie Control (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol)
After you have successfully installed them. Open GMD app.
1: Allowed the SU access.
2: Tick "Hide Soft Keys" and Enabled it. (Could be small lag).
3: Tick Start On Boot (Or you will have to turn it on every time you reset your phone).
4: Scroll down to "Trigger Width" and configure it as shown in the screenshot + set Trigger Mode to Swipe.
(Press on the image to make it bigger)
Note: Pro version allows you to make the Trigger width smaller. Free version allows go only to 20%.
After you configure GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, swipe that red bar and press home button. Then go to Pie Control.
1: Allowed the SU access.
2: Tick "Bottom" options if you want it to come up from the bottom (You can pick which side you prefer. Left/Right or Bottom)
3: Go to "Level 1":
- FIRSTBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Menu"
- SECONDBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Task"
- THIRDBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Home" (Press "LongClick" , search for Voice Search
- FOURTHBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Back"
NOTE! FOR LEVEL2 YOU CAN WHATEVER YOU LIKE ADD. YOUR CHOICE.
4: Go to "Pie" again and scroll down a bit to options.
5: In "Pie Size" choose 25 (I think is suitable for our phone screen. Of course you can make it smaller or bigger, your choice).
Optional: 6: Go to "Color" and customize the colors of it.
After all your phone screen should look smiliar to mine:
(Press on the image to make it bigger)
Harder Option:
Install any app that will allowed you to access into system files.
I would like to recommend free ROOT BROWSER (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree).
Firstly before you hide the softkeys go to Pie Control and configure it as followed:
1: Allowed the SU access.
2: Tick "Bottom" options if you want it to come up from the bottom (You can pick which side you prefer. Left/Right or Bottom)
3: Go to "Level 1":
- FIRSTBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Menu"
- SECONDBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Task"
- THIRDBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Home" (Press "LongClick" , search for Voice Search
- FOURTHBUTTON: Press "ShortClick" , go to "Tools" and pick "Back"
NOTE! FOR LEVEL2 YOU CAN WHATEVER YOU LIKE ADD. YOUR CHOICE.
4: Go to "Pie" again and scroll down a bit to options.
5: In "Pie Size" choose 25 (I think is suitable for our phone screen. Of course you can make it smaller or bigger, your choice).
Optional: 6: Go to "Color" and customize the colors of it.
When you configure Pie Control. Open Root Browser. Download that extra files root browser want and here you go ready to mode.
1: Go to /system and open build.prop.
2: Make a copy of build.prop
3: Add that line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" and save.
4: Reboot the phone.
And here you go. I don't think you need screenshot for this as it is the same as the "Easier Option" but without that red line .
Hope this tutorial will help anyone that is tired of that boring Android SoftKeys and want's something new on his/her phone.
If it help you , I wouldn't mind for a small thanks .
First: Your Pics do not work....
Second: I know you can make your Softbuttons smaller / bigger by editing framework.apk, I have seen the how to in XZ-Section. If you dind the tutorial and set the height to zero it should be gone... maybe theres even an option like show.navbar=true and you can just change it to false... however I dont have a clue

Open from pc or browser of your phone and then see...
To hide softkeys you just have to add one line in build.prop:
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=1"
then reboot and they will disappear...
but pay attention to have another possibility to launch those commands...

Man I dont know I found it out while trying "Ultimate Dynamic Navbar" and it added this line. when you set it to "0" softkeys are back
I would like to have such a list but i didnt look it up.
There are several build.prop tweakers in Market and on xda (like pimp my rom)...
You can use them to find out the codes and write the list yourself

I tried it and it messed up my build.prop... but it was easy to clean because there are always headers above those tweaks. example given: you can see how to enable bravia engine 2 (first you have to install some files of course). So it is good for learning but for real modding i dont like it that much.

Disclaimer:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DECIDE TO USE THIS GUIDE. IT'S PRETTY SAFE THOUGH BECAUSE I HAVE HEAVILY TESTED EVERYTHING THAT I WROTE.
Required
All Samsung rom custom Android 7.0, 7.1.x , 8.0, 8.1.x
TWRP (Exynos) or TWRP (Snapdragon) optional (preferably MAGISK)
Step 1
Remap Bixby Button
As in the article :
1. Go with any root Explorer (I'm using Solid Explorer) to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Rename the Generic.kl to Generic.txt
3. Open this file with an text editor
4. Search for 703 to get following entry: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 WINK
5. Change it to whatever you want. I simply tried following: # input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream key 703 ASSIST
6. Rename it back to Generic.kl (otherwise you won't be able to press any hardware button after reboot)
7. Check permissions
8. Restart your device
For now, Bixby is used Google Assitant with item display on the screen
Other order :
HOME - Homebutton
POWER - Powermenu
MUSIC - Starts your favorite music player
MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE - Play pause media
VOLUME_UP - Sets volume up
VOLUME_DOWN - Sets volume down
VOLUME_MUTE - Volume media (set default media volume in phone setting)
CAMERA - Starts camera app
APP_SWITCH - Recent apps button
ASSIST - Google Assistant (with item display on the screen)
VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistant (fast)
QPANEL_ON_OFF - Notification area
EXPLORER - Favorite internet browser
SYSRQ - Screenshot
PAGE_UP
PAGE_DOWN
CALCULATOR
CALENDAR
CONTACTS
CALL
If you want to be able to use more features such as double-clicking, long-clicking, launching an application, adjusting the vibrator or other, leave "ASSIST" and continue the steps.

I completed the article hoping to have answered the question
All this instead of just using bxactions which does the same thing?
You've blatantly copied and pasted stuff from other threads here, give credit where it is due please.
Be aware xposed at this stage is unofficial, experimental and unstable.
This can all be achieved minus double tap with other methods (need root to edit kl file tho). Don't steal people's hard work and effort and pretend it's yours, link to their threads.

Quite simply because xposed edge offers much more possibility of personalizing the Bixby button

Apparently, you did not read the entire guide because, at the end of each step, I put the source. So after putting the source, I did not believe it was my job. Everything I did as described above in the guide, I made a guide of all I did to be able to customize the Bixby button.
And to test other methods like Bxactions, I can tell you that there is much more possiblity of personalization with this method.
But for the Xposed case you're completely right I'll presume it still unstable.
I would add a second time the source as the end of the guide this time. So that one can see it well and that one does not say that I have spent the work of the others for mine.

Cheers, didn't see that. I'm going to install xposed again at some point and test this method out myself, you're right in tasker does have a bit of overhang and chews up resources, and can have a short delay depending on your multitasking habits etc. Most likely won't use this as a method until systemless xposed is more stable or rovo releases an offical n version.

Clipboard
Auto brighness
Wifi

NFC
Sync
Wifi AP
Stay awake
Torch
Gesture control
Key control
Previous app
Next app
Kill app
Kill foreground app
Kill background app
Shortcuts panel
Custom panel
Apps drawer
Asjust and Succesive adjust
Multi-action(pro only)
Shell command(pro only)
And much more...
P.S. One had to look at the images
After you can stay on "Bxactions" if it suits you

Really hoping someone has a solution,
last night i manually updated the Generic.kl file via the text editor, after changing the value from WINK to VOICE_ASSIST i've lost all manual buttons?
-Have tried:
Changing it back, Duhh.. - Did not work.
Copying a fresh copy of someones elses "Generic" file. (thought i may have accidentally changed an additional value)
Factory reset.
Have now reflashed my rom.
Any other idea's? For the life of me i cant work out how to get my buttons back..

Hey all,
Really hoping someone has a solution,
last night i manually updated the Generic.kl file via the text editor, after changing the value from WINK to VOICE_ASSIST i've lost all manual buttons?

When you have finished modifying generic.kl, you have to check that in the properties of the file the attributes are "rw-r--r--" otherwise you modify them. And you reopen the file to be sure that it is still readable. It can happen that according to the text editor use, the file genreric.kl is re-coded differently after the modification.
(Personally I use Solid Explorer to realize all his)
If not simpler here is the file genric.kl modified so that you can replace it directly but you will only have to check your attributes once the file replace.

Another safer solution is to flash this zip file and there will be nothing to check.

I'm in the same boat as the other guy, I have done as you said and tried both ways you suggested but still my buttons don't work

I finally fixed it. All I had to do was basically redo everything g from the beginning only correctly this time. I was so worried about my buttons not working that I gave up on the bixby key alone and was just trying to get it back to normal that I didn't even thing to just start from scratch as if it was still working . If that makes sense. I feel like I'm not making sense tho .
