[Theme] Transparent status bar for CM7 nightly #62 - made by pendo

I was looking since a while for a transparent stautsbar for the nexus one running CM7.
Pendo made one running on CM7 nightly #62.
In the post there are some screenshots, if you want to see, how it looks like.
Great thanks to pendo for his awesome work!

UUU yes please, this would hit the spot.

Looks nice, another vote here
Out of interest I tried flashing the Desire HD file, it rebooted twice and then worked. The mods work when the screen is locked and then revert to it's previous look once unlocked. Therefore it may not take a whole lot to actually port this.

Hi pendo,
first at all, thx so much for your effort!! But i'm afraid, it doesn't work on my N1.
I wiped dalvik and cache, flashed the zip-file via recovery. I tried it on ADW Launcher EX and Go Launcher EX with Wallpaper hack unchecked.
Are there any tips you can give?

Well...I'm unsure, lol. I made a few downloads yesterday morning and it was working all fine. I didn't expect this, but I suppose it makes sense now that I actually think about it but even though this hack is done in the /system/app directory, it IS build specific. That was built using CM-7.0.2.1 Is that what you're running?
I just tried it on yesterdays nightly and no-go...lol. SystemUI FC.
So, if you're on another build you can let me know, or if you know how to work in smali, you can either decompile the apk or baksmali the classes.dex file. You need to edit StatusBarService.smali. For a transparent pull down, search for
Code:
.method onBarViewAttached
go down 5 lines of text and if you see this
Code:
const/4 v5, 0x2
then you change it to this. It may already be that.
Code:
const/4 v5, -0x3
Also, double check the same 5 lines under
Code:
.method onTrackingViewAttached
For a transparent status bar, in that same file you need to edit
Code:
method protected addStatusBarView
The value we need to change isn't conveniently at the beginning of the method, like the other 2, it's in the middle. Easiest way to locate it is just to copy this text and search for it:
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
When you find that, the line directly above it change
Code:
const/4 v3, 0x2
to
Code:
const/4 v3, -0x3
Then recompile and viola

which recovery are you using? edit, I missed your reply.
I'm wondering if it even installed. Did the handle to close the status bar change? If it didn't, that would indicate that it didn't actually flash.
If you have root explorer, you can copy SystemUI.apk from that zip and copy/paste it in /system/app.
If it did in fact install, but you still aren't getting transparency, then I'm not sure what happened. I just repeated the exact same steps for the latest nightly #62 and this is what I see:

Just a note....this does not work with SPB Shell 3D. If I get a chance I'll try to see why, but my guess is it may be difficult.

Oh man, i don't know what i'm doing wrong, but i just did the same as you did: i did wipe dalvik and cache, flashed the nightly #62 and then your zip-file, reboot.
After booting, a FC of systemUI occurs
Perhaps i have to do a full wipe? I'll give it a try tomorrow...
Anyway, great thanks to you pendo!!
I just hope, to have a nice statusbar like yours on the screenshot!

well, this is quite embarrassing....the SystemUI.apk is fine. Works as I said, but I carelessly left a modified services.jar for an evo that I had made earlier in the framework directory of that zip. So that was the problem.
In the highly unlikely event you haven't already restored to a working condition, I've included services.jar from #62 with this download. It is safe to flash if you have restored as well. Wiping shouldn't be required with this...I just tested flashing this package (not just pushing the apk) without wiping and it worked fine. I've fixed the link above, but I'll include it again here. Please accept my appologies...I really did manage to make this much more difficult for you than it needed to be.

@ Pendo: Thanks man looking good. But once you change wallpaper it goes back to black status bar. Although it is still transparent in lock screen.

[FIX] --- EpicMTD CM7 Rotation Lag Fix! --- (Updated to preferred method)

Introduction
This is the optimal method for reducing and almost eliminating rotation lag in EpicMTD CM7. For those of you looking for the old method that involved hacking framework.jar, please see the second post in this thread, Deprecated (Old, Archaic) Rotation Lag Fix How-to
DISCLAIMER
I have personally used this method and know it works. Furthermore, many others have used this method and it seems pretty reliable. That said, should anything unpleasant happen, to include bugs being introduced, your phone bricking, or your firstborn child emerging as the anti-christ, well, it's not my fault. You did it.
Rotation Lag Eliminator Guide
If you have a ROM setup that you're fond of, or high-scores that you want to keep, I recommend doing some backups
Nandroid from ClockworkMod Recovery ("CWM") will backup your entire ROM, which you can restore after the fix and have your phone back to the state it was in before you made the backup. (Kentucky.)
Alternatively, after step 5 you can restore just the /data partition from a previously-created Nandroid backup.
Titanium Backup can back up & restore individual apps and settings, as well as restore from a previously created Nandroid backup.
Flash a GB ROM (not sure if it must be MTD, but I recommend it), I recommend toadlife's Clean-GB MTD
Go to [Settings] > [Display] > [Horizontal Calibration]
Calibrate. (Obvious, no?)
Flash your favorite EpicMTD CM7 Nightly, AKA the latest one. (You know I'm right!)
Think to yourself "That AmericanJedi001 just might be a genius. He damn sure knows how to fix rotation lag!"
Immediately follow that with the self-rebuttal "Yeah, but it's not like this required anything previously unknown in this community."
Caveats & Notes
Slight risks are involved in flashing ROMs and backing up and restoring Nandroids and individual apps.
This fix should persist across ROM flashes, and therefore Nightly flashes. There may be something that breaks it, but I haven't found it yet. (I'm not trying to break it, but I don't know where the calibration data is saved, therefore I don't know what mods will break it.) I suspect that either a) switching minor versions of Android, such as going from Froyo / 2.2 to Gingerbread / 2.3; or b) switching partition maps, such as going from BML to MTD, is what breaks it.
Thanks and Acknowledgements
Thanks to Decad3nce for pointing out that not everyone has had issues with rotation lag in EpicMTD CM7, which got me to thinking that the framework.jar hack might not be the optimal fix.
ISSUES / PROBLEMS / BUGS?
I'm reluctant to provide any active support for this fix because all of its steps are well-known and -documented elsewhere. That said, if you have any issues that you think are specific to rotation-lag elimination, post 'em here. If you post something in the vein of "I flashed blah-blah-blah and now my phone figuratively resembles a brick..." or "Why won't my backup restore?" I'm going to ignore you, because that's not specific to this fix. Those questions have been beaten like Jim Caviezel in Passion of the Christ, and like his character sometimes I wonder how they're not dead yet. Please use good judgement before you look for help here.

Deprecated (Old, Archaic) Rotation Lag Fix How-to
Introduction
This is the old, deprecated fix for minimizing rotation lag in EpicMTD CM7. It has been superceded by the method described in the OP above. Feel free to play with this hack, but know that I will not be supporting it, nor will I go any deeper into the how-to guide: this is a moderately broad overview, and the details of learning how to hack .jar files will be left to the reader to discover. I learned 95% of this hack by searching and reading what others had done, not by asking people to spoon-feed me instructions. Take that to heart!
DISCLAIMER
I have tested the framework.jar file and the flashable .zip on my own phone, with awesome results. However, I refuse to be held accountable for any issues you may have.
Installation
-- "framework.jar" Replacement Method
Delete or rename /system/framework/framework.jar (I recommend you simply rename it so that if you have issues you can easily switch back to your "stock" file
Copy framework.jar to /system/framework, then reboot.
???
Profit from the blazing rotation speed!*
-- Flashable .zip Method
Copy EpicMTD_CM7_Rotation_Lag_Eliminator.zip to the root of your SD card
Boot into CWM Recovery (or possibly ACS Recovery?)
Flash the "EpicMTD_CM7_Rotation_Lag_Eliminator.zip" file
Breakdance.
Reboot and enjoy a lag-free* experience!
-- Caveats
THIS METHOD IS DEPRECATED! USE THE METHOD IN THE OP TO FIX YOUR ROTATION LAG PERMANENTLY, RATHER THAN HAVING TO HACK framework.jar FOR EACH NEW RELEASE!
* At least one person has successfully replaced framework.jar, but was not impressed with the improvement in rotation speed
Users of previous versions of this fix reported their phones hanging during boot (I have never experienced this)
One person reported that menus were changed, but I suspect he flashed this fix (created specifically for CM7) on top of another ROM
For other GB ROMs the fix should be basically the same, though I would recommend using the framework.jar from that specific ROM. See the Resources section below if you're interested in learning the technical end of the fix.

my post in Chris41g's EF02 Rotation Lagfix topic
Chris41g's original fix for EF02
ISSUES / PROBLEMS / BUGS?
I will no longer support this hack. I have since learned of a much better method for almost eliminating rotation lag, a method that persists across ROM flashes and therefore does not require updating periodically when new versions of framework.jar accompany a new release of CM7. This is here simply because I can't delete the topic, and for historical interest.
Thanks and Acknowledgements
Thanks to Chris41g for the original fix, without stumbling upon that topic I would never have figured this out myself!
How-to Overview
With chris41g's original fix, here's what he had to say about it:
chris41g said:
...some framework edits will need to be made [to] \system\framework\framework1.jar.out\smali\android \view\WindowOrientationListener.smali
Code:
.prologue
.line 54
const/4 v0, 0x3
needs to be changed to
Code:
.prologue
.line 54
const/4 v0, 0x2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I pulled my "/system/framework/framework.jar", then pulled "classes.dex" from there and smali'd it, then browsed "...\classout\android\view\WindowOrientationListener.smali" in Eclipse. I found
Code:
.method public constructor <init>(Landroid/content/Context;)V
.registers 3
.parameter "context"
.prologue
.line 67
const/4 v0, 0x3
invoke-direct {p0, p1, v0}, Landroid/view/WindowOrientationListener;-><init>(Landroid/content/Context;I)V
.line 68
return-void
.end method
which is the closest to what chris41g posted for the original fix. I changed the "0x3" to read "0x0".
I then baksmali'd it into "classes.dex" and inserted that back into framework.jar, which is then copied into /system/framework, replacing the stock framework.jar. Done!
If anybody has any insight, tips, improvements, etc., send 'em! This is my first real contribution that involved any coding (not that I did much!) and I want to learn anything you Grand Masters have to share.

will this also have an effect on miui? not that the lag is bad or anything, but less is more in this case

As I stated above, I'm not an expert developer, so take this with a grain of salt... If you're experiencing rotation / orientation-change lag with MIUI on GB, first try using the"Horizontal Calibration" option in [Settings] > [Display]. You may have to apply it with your phone face-down, just hanging over the edge of the table/desk/counter so you can click the button to calibrate. If that doesn't work or is unavailable, try the"sensorcalibutil_yamaha" fix (you must be rooted for this):
Open a terminal emulator
Type "su" [Enter], then "/system/sensorcalibutil_yamaha" [Enter]
Follow the instructions to calibrate
If that doesn't work--and if you're using a GB ROM, I don't think it will--then the fix I posted above is your only other option. Should you decide to try it, I highly recommend you build your own "framework.jar" by pulling it from your ROM of choice and following the instructions provided by chris41g and me. If it works, let me know and I'll add it to the OP and change the title to reflect what ROMs we have framework.jars and/or flashable zips for. Good luck!
* FYI, I have no experience beyond CM7 with GB ROMs, & I've only used SRF ROMs & related kernels with Froyo.

This can be fixed in the cyanogenmod framework source code

Good first attempt. There's a problem with your patch though. It messes up the homescreen menu and shutdown popup. if you are on homescreen and press menu, there is usually a tab that says "More" and has the unlock/lock desktop option, the patch changes this to "text from clipboard" also when you hold the power button and select shut down, the popup says reboot instead of power off. I think the problem is just a matter of line spacing being off in the Framework.jar or something, but this is an uneducated guess. Either way just wanted you to be aware. I think a better option would be to have it edit that one line of text in the framework.jar rather than replacing the .jar file completely. Good luck, happy coding.

Editing a single line in a jar file isn't currently possible via CWM flash - this is the same reason themes and mods must often be combined, because they are modifications to the same file, and we can only replace files, not merge them

Styles420 is correct, that's why the fix (framework.jar or flashable.zip) replaces the "stock" CM7 framework.jar file. I assure you the only thing I changed was the digit after "0x", as in "0x1", then I recompiled/rebuilt everything. As far as I know, that shouldn't have far-reaching side-effects such as you're describing, but I'll look into it. Did you flash the file (any of the three) on the latest CM7 (10/22) , or another version of CM7, or another ROM entirely (if so, which)?

I Installed on my phone and it got stuck at the samsung screen during boot up. Re flashed ROM and it was all better

couldn't get this to boot when on CM7. Froze at Sammy screen for me. tried this on MIUI Beta 3 just for giggles but no sucess there either. Too bad. Rotation lag is my mortal enemy. Lol.

After you reflashed the ROM (CM7?) did you try the fix again, or did you just not have rotation lag after the reflash?

Were you on CM7 10/22 or an earlier release? I'm not surprised it didn't work for MIUI: the files I posted are the framework.jar and a flashable framework.jar from CM7, with only one digit difference from my stock framework.jar with CM7.
In other words, I will really be surprised if the files in the OP work for any ROMs besides CM7, and they may not work for anything besides CM7 10/22.
If you guys are using CM7 10/22, then you may want to follow the directions and pull your own framework.jar (rather than using the one I posted) and do the edit on your own file, then copy it back over. Let me know if you need any clarification on any of the steps.
I'm hoping that future builds of EpicCM will have this fix coded directly into the framework.jar--noobnl posted that it would be possible, so I'm hoping that it is on the to-do list.

were the ppl with the issues were running a modified framework.jar to facilitate an ext4 kernel?

If you used the CWM flashable zip, try just replacing your framework.jar with the one I provided. Be sure to save your original (either rename or move to another location), copy the provided framework.jar over, then reboot. If *that* doesn't fix it, then you may need to manually do the hacking yourself, though I hope not--that's why I created this thread with the available files, to save people time!

This is a good point--if you're already running a framework.jar that's modified from the original provided with your ROM of choice (to use an EXT4 kernel, for example*), then you'll need to hack that framework.jar file. The framework.jar that's available here will probably only work with the RFS version of CM7, not any modified versions, nor other ROMs. Of course you folks are welcome to try it, but YMMS (Your Mileage May Suck)!
* I'm not sure that an EXT4 kernel will require a modified framework.jar, but you get the point.

I was on cm7 10/22. It still didn't work.

Would you feel comfortable editing your own framework.jar file? If you're familiar with Smali/Baksmali, you should be able to follow the directions and hack up your own framework.jar to fix the rotation lag. If not, send it to me and I'll mess with it the next chance I get (no guarantees, it might be after Thanksgiving before you get it back!).
I feel ya, it's one of my pet peeves as well, thus the fix!

[APP] Android Market patched to skip self-update and remove device restrictions

All versions of the Android Market (Play Store) above version 3.0 will self-update automatically (even if you freeze/rename/delete the Market Updater application). The following version of the Android Market has been patched to ignore the self-update check.
Note: Android Market (Google Play Store) v3.4.7 is the last available version that allows Titanium Backup to control the Market links in the application.
Note: Using the command "pm disable com.android.vending.updater" does NOT stop the Android Market 3.0+ from self-updating. Other methods of preventing the market from self-updating, such as creating a read-only file that blocks the installation procedure, are also not recommended because the market will still download market updates and use up precious internal memory and extra cpu cycles.

Note: Also provided below is an additional variation of the Android Market that includes an additional "no restrictions" patch applied. The additional patch removes restrictions on certain applications in the market placed by specific countries. If the country you live in has blocked the application you are looking for, this patch will allow you to see it in the market. There are still server side restrictions in place when you download an application that is blocked within your country and the use of a proxy or VPN might also be necessary. The "no restrictions" patch also removes the device application compatibility check, so every application should be visible in the Android Market (even if they "say" it is not compatible with your device). Credits to L.D.B. for the "no restrictions" patch.

Note: A third patch for the Android Market is the "DPI 160" patch. If you change the default DPI settings on your device, the Android Market might not detect the required DPI settings and specific applications will then not be visible in the Android Market. The "DPI 160" patch forces the Android Market to think you are using a DPI of 160, which makes specific applications in the Android Market visible.

If your device is using a custom DPI setting, then you will need a version of the Android Market that includes one of the three "DPI Hacks" mentioned above (dpi160, dpi240, or dpi320). Without the "DPI Hack" applied, updates might not be visible in the Market.
The default DPI value for your device can be determined by looking it up in it's device specifications. When you change the default DPI setting on your device, it may cause compatibility problems for the Android Market. Therefore, we want the Android Market to think we are still using the same default value that is found in the specs.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy SII has a default DPI of 240 in it's device specifications, so we want to make the Android Market think we are still using that setting (if the default value has been modified).
For most devices, the standard default DPI values are 160, 240, and 320.
All modified versions of the Android Market that are signed by another key are unable to make purchases from within the Android Market application itself because the signing key does not match Google's signing key. Because the new signing key of the modified Android Market no longer matches with Google's signing key, the modified version of the Android Market is unable to connect with GoogleServicesFramework. There are also modified versions of the Android Market available (in post #132 of this thread) that are made using the original Google signature which makes it possible to purchase applications again within the modified Android Market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26102810&postcount=132
All applications can still be purchased via the web browser.
How to install:
Rename file to "Vending.apk" and copy to /system/app/Vending.apk. Make sure to uninstall any updates of previous versions first. Root Required. If you are running ICS 4.0.4, "Vending.apk" might be substituted for "Phonesky.apk".
NOTE: If you are testing a "DPI Hacked" version of the Android Market and you are still experiencing incompatibilities with certain applications or the changes are not "sticking", see post #92 in this thread for further solutions.

Well yes and no, to answer your question you can use root explorer. just make sure you set it to read/write and set the permissions right.

I added an additional version of the market that includes a patch to remove restrictions placed on applications by the market.
1) Removes device compatibility check so all applications are visible to your device
2) Removes restrictions places on certain applications by specific countries. If the country you live in blocks a specific application in your market, then it should now be visible.
Credits to L.D.B. for the "no restrictions" patch.

This does not work. I already tested this exact patch, and while apps are visible in Market app, they cannot be downloaded, as additional checks are being done server side.

Suppose so. But for me, the solution is running Android Market 2.3.6 on ICS as it does not do IP checks, only SIM operator check. I hacked it to report to servers that my SIM card is from USA, so no need for Market Enabler, it just works.

I have a device that has not yet been rooted (without hardware modifications).....is there a way to install the google play store (it comes with old market) and still use the feature where it ignores device incompatiblity? I find it tells me alot of my apps are incompatible even if I know they work.
Hey google...here's a clue...if the app is already INSTALLED on the device odds are it works.

Did you uninstall updates to the app like the directions say? Did you remount the system partition to made it r/w instead of read only? It worked fine on all 4 of my rooted devices and I installed apps that previously failed except through sideloading.

So should I assume my attempt to install a version of google play store where practically everything is NOT listed as incompatible on my NON rooted device is hopeless by your lack of response? The logitech revue runs on honeycomb 3.1 and originally comes with market...it was later upgraded to google play. Your versions of course fail to install. Is it possible to apply your fixes to the version I am attaching to this post while keeping signatures so it will work as an install? This is the apk of the version that it was upgraded to. Thank you for your time.

I'm afraid that root is going to be necessary. When I make changes to an apk, I have to resign it (but I don't have the original keys). Since the modified apk is now signed with a different signature than the original, it can not be installed on top of the original. Therefore, you will need to have root access to replace the original apk with the modified version (since the signature keys no longer match).
The file you uploaded is only 554 bytes in size. That seems to not be correct. There seems to be problems uploading files to XDA lately. Also, make sure the files are not odexed (the apk must contain a classes.dex in order to be modified).

This overwrite the real SERIAL from your device, I am using the CM10 rom by twa_priv, and the value is 'unknown'. Then repacking and sign your new apk and you are done.
I want to mention I have login to HULU in the original amazon rom before I use its serial number for the hack and I can see it in my hulu account, not sure if it is necessary, I did not tried any fake serial either. I cannot upload the apk since it is hardcoded with my serial number.

Trojan / Virus in Umi Diamond Stock Firmware - Help please

Hello Commity,
it seems Umi pre installed a Tojan/Virus in their SystemUI.apk!
As soon as the Phone gets Internet Access it activates "Installation from unknown sources", if you block the SystemUI.apk with AFWall+ that does not happen.
There is a file inside the apk thats called "spende.zip", that File is not a zipfile or any known filetype, i think it some kind of binary that contains the trojan part.
There are also users who report that there are apps installed on their phone without asking.
Maybe anyone here has an Idea how to get rid of that ****!
Virustotal.com analyze brings up one hit via Cyren as "AndroidOS/GenBl.04646FAC!Olympus" never heared of that.
Sorry cant post links to the file or analysis cause i need to have 10 post before i can post links - edit 31.01.17 see post #6 for files and new virusscan (29/57)

Install DNS66 for your temporary protection first. Remember to update the host files. You can find it on Fdroid/Playstore.

Thanks for your reply, i will install that later.
Meanwhile i have extracted the spende.zip from /data/data/com.android.systemui/ where was laying an uncrypted Version of that file.
It is indeed an zip/apk file and unzipable from that Source.
Is here maybe anyone who can help me get rid of the Virus in this file, pack the clean file back into the systemui.apk so that its cleaned ? Should be possible this way or not ?

I decompiled the dex file and found this in "com/reverberatioun/conclave/lyricist/f.smali"
Looks like this could be part of the trojan dropper. From what i understand here the install from unknown sources get turned on or i am wrong ?

Have you tried to remove the 'zipfile'?
By the way, Google also has the ability to silently install or delete anything on your phone and you really can't fully restrain (without re-writing the code) native android from connecting to the internet and they don't have to enable third party apps install. So, without any proof of stock related malware, this could just be a feature, especially if stock OS doesn't have GAPPS.

Yes if you remove the zipfile the com.phone.android keeps forced closing, same when you try to deodex the systemui. The Phone comes with GAPPS installed and other users without root/firewall reported that also apps are installed on their phone without asking.

Yes if you remove the zipfile the com.phone.android keeps forced closing, same when you try to deodex the systemui. The Phone comes with GAPPS installed and other users without root/firewall reported that also apps are installed on their phone without asking. Also virustotal.com has 29 positves on the unencrypted file that i mentioned in post #3
Now that i can post links here are the links to virustotal scan and the two files

I'd agree with Optimum, though it is malware it's probably not "intended to be malicious" though that's no comfort given it allows installs from unknown sources without user notification there is no way I'd want this on my phone.
If you scan the file you mentioned in the OP does it still only give one hit?
Hope you can manage to edit the code so your phone stops this behaviour without crashing it.

Hey, somebody fixed the issue?
Just got the C Note 2 on sale and I heard, that it has the same problem.
