@EkostonS:

Sorry - don't know. I've used a systemUI.apk with transparent Notification- AND Softkey-Bar (I found it somewhere here on XDA) and I must say that this only looks good on the Homescreen. Every second App got a ugly grey Notification-Bar (e. g. Facebook etc.) with this mod.

The only good thing with this mod is that everybody can see the hole UGE Screen of the Galaxy Nexus while in Homescreen :)

The Softkeys are using transparent PNG's. So you must use Icons with transparent Background like in my case:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
yeah ive used that mod, i miss it, its for 4.0.1 only makes systemui.apk crash if you install it on 4.0.3

i just gotta find out which files are what, cause he did a bunch of random changes to his systemui.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
I believe for the transparent softkey-background it was only a simple .9.png file with a transparent background in it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
yes statusbar_background.9.png

but there are some xml mods too to go along with it. searchin for them.

can you decompile apks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
Nope. Tried that different times and every time I've got FCs when pushing the modded apk-files back :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
ive replaced some and adding some png's and ive put in some xml's from other systemui.apk's and have booted and worked fine every time except when i added the statusbar_background.9.png that boot i had no status bar or soft buttons *navigated around root explorer and pushed my backed up systemui.apk to fix the problem

i need to get one of my computers to decompile systemui.apk and framework-res.apk so i can do more.

if i can get into framework-res.apk i can make the softbuttons background smaller in size more like the notification bar size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
I've got soft keys smaller but its a WIP I'm getting constant fc's and need to fix the icons

If someone gets the background transparent, I think that would be amazing! Im rooted and on 4.0.2. might even give it a shot. Ive managed to root all my phones and know a few ADB commands, but that is about the extent of my prowess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtrmiller:
I'd like to see icons for:

Back | Home | Search (long press to go straight to voice commands) | Running Apps

I REALLY miss my old DInc's long press for voice search/commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
im tryin to get it for 4.0.3 i just need to know which xmls to edit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
I think you need to make sure that the dimensions are exactly the same as the original png images. I always pick the original image, edit it with PaintShop Pro to my liking and save that, to make sure the dimensions and other settings are exactly right..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamieD81:
the size of softkeys pngs i have now are small ive tried different sized ones and they all work fine. im sure the big ones i tried last night would look better on the smaller bar but i still have the issue of fc's on mostly google apps, and android keyboard fc's constantly even when not opened.

im a beginner at this so im learning as i go will take some time to figure out the fc's

my guess is the extra screen size is at fault. im going to try a couple different size softkey bars see if it does it all the way up to 42dip, the picture i have the bar at 20dip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nick w:
Hi

I have copied the latest png files from your systemui.apk (thanks) and i pasted them into mine. after i stop and start the Shell i dont have any softkeys on the bottom of my screen.

Do you have any idea what im doing wrong?

Thanks

I saw a thread similar to this one about modding the soft keys but I am unable to find it. I'm just looking to change the color of the stock keys to match the blue/teal found everywhere else on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zakth:
I had the same problem. Place the SystemUI.apk posted here by another user into /System/App and rebooted. No status bar or menu buttons to be seen. I had to get the original file and place it back in the folder using Root Explorer. After a reboot all was good. I did notice that the icon for the default SystemUI.apk looks like a combination lock while the downloaded one looks like an android... could this have something to do with it? Perhaps a permissions thing or package signing. Either way I tried to simply swap out the images from the provided apk with the default apk but I get an error in both winrar and 7-zip saying that the disk may be full, permission denied.

Update:

I figured out why it would not let me edit the files within the APK... I had it in the adb folders lol. Anyhow, I got it working! I just opened the original, swapped the images with the ones from the folder in your apk, used root explorer to dump the file and rebooted. Looks sweet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zakth:
Decided to give this button making a go, think the are a bit too dark?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
Maybe you must clean Dalvik-Cache or something like this? Sometimes I've got the same result. I've made a ZIP that changes the systemUI back and then I use my new one after restarting and let android update the installed apks at the next boot with my old systemUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zakth:
Re-worked my buttons to be a little more clear and match in color to the theme. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sr-ha:
I have made the Original button blue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
Did you've also made the menu and a search button in this blue color? Mind sharing the png-files? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sr-ha:
the menu button i have also changed. but not the search button.

But i can make it for you :D;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inline6power:
well was playing with some png for the soft keys. pushed new systemui and i lost my softkeys and status bar all together. re pushed the stock systemui i had and i and in the same boat. no keys and no bar. any clues on what to try now?

Are you sure you're pushing the stock systemui back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zakth:
Here is my text version if anyone would like it let me know.

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

I had the same problem before. I'm not certain what the issues is. I run Revolution HD 2.1.2, so I went into the zip and copied the SystemUI.APK from it then dropped that in /System/App and rebooted. It fixed the problem for me. I'm not sure if the issue is file size or what but it's happened only when downloading a SystemUI.Apk from the forums. Your best bet is to get the original that your phone is running (either stock or custom rom) then swap out the files. I would suggest using WinRAR to manage the files. Just open the APK file in WinRAR but do not extract. Navigate to the proper folder and drag/drop the files inside WinRAR. Click OK/Accept to copy the file, don't change any settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sr-ha:
For the blue Icons you can dowload them from me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
If you take an animated .gif and rename it to .png.. it still remains animated in a browser even with the png extension.

I wonder if this can be done with these icons. For example to give them a looping glow or to change colors (like gray->blue->green repeatedly .. just an example - not saying that would look good).

I would try it myself, but I'm still waiting on Fedex for my Gnex!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
That's because the browser figures out from the file content that it's actually a .gif file and uses the appropriate code to render it. While this might work for the soft buttons if the code to render them is generic enough, it's far more likely you'll just get nothing. Still, it would be an interesting experiment, and if it works it would be really fun to play with. :-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inline6power:
I fixed it lol. dumb me pushed the wrong system ui file. had a few on my desktop playing with and pushed one that was for some thing different
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
Yep *nix based systems work on content rather than extension too

Someone gonna try it out or what? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skinniebone:
how do you exactly save the icons. i try following the steps but it wont save.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inline6power:
here is my latest layout i created. i need to touch up the search button a tad but it works great and deff like the 4 button layout better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
Sadly I can now confirm, putting in a gif named as png does NOT work for animation.

So my next project is to work on animating the way android likes to animate.. with xml files!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jensfaultier:
@inline6power Very nice, can you upload the png files, pls? I need the multi task button ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cristian.hl:
i think this is the best...

dammit with fc's :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dasandroid:
Can anyone adv how to add the search button? I have gone thru the thread and others but still no clue.

thanks! :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
simply add

I already added but it didn't show up on the navigation bar. Any idea? I am using bigxie rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmeidl78:
In my Rom (KANG Milestone) is an extra Menu in the Settings to switch the Menu/Search/Keys on/off etc. Maybe its the same in your ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nordpolcamper:
Do I always have to flash the ROM completely. Or is there a way of changing the looks of my softkey buttons without losing all my data?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TareX:
I really appreciate the effort you guys put into this. But I hope someone somewhere comes up with a simple, seemless addition of the search button in the exact same look/style and feel of the original white soft buttons that come with stock ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
how did you make these? what color do you use to make hte background transparent?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
No, the soft keys are in the SystemUI apk located in /system/app. You can extract it from the rom and push with adb or put it on your phone and replace your original with Root Explorer. After a reboot you should be good to go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dboss007:
Hey there! LOVE these icons in blue. Really looks great with the rest of ICS. One request though. Could you add a PNG with search in landscape to the pack? These do work in landscape so the white one that's currently in my apk obviously stands out with the rest of the blue ones. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mustang302LX:
I'm curious of the same thing. I want these blue keys but the serach in landscape is the stock white color which is strange lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sr-ha:
What?:confused:

I only picked the stock buttons and colored them with Gimp.

yup sorry. But there was no search button for landscape. But now there is one:D

i copied the portrait search button and transfered it in landscape :eek:

There you can download them;)

yes, but i am using Nova launcher there you can simply change the icons.

In the Launcher there are 2 png's one for "pressed" and one for "not pressed"

i colored both, but the unpressed icon looks weird:eek:

maybe you can take the good Icon for both.

[General Topics] dabuttrumpet:
hope the title can describe what i am trying to figure out....

My current setup is this:

1. My windows machine and mac both have plex installed.

2. I can use my iphone with the plex app to airplay media from my computer straight to my apple tv, i dont need to have anything synced directly to my iphone's internal storage. It just uses the stream from the iPhone and computer

I am getting rid of my iPhone to get an android phone, but i want to keep this capability...

any suggestions?
[General Topics] zelendel:
anything based on ITunes or apple software is a pita to make work on android.
[General Topics] ChRiS.JoNeZz:
hi, just buy a cheap ipod touch 4g and use that it has the same capabilities and you will then be able to buy a high end android phone without any drawbacks
[General Topics] mistermentality:
If you want to stream from android to apple tv there is an app that does so. Check http://9to5mac.com/2011/05/09/android-can-now-airplay-to-ios-devices/ for review.

I've been reading all over about rooting my S2. I think I understand well enough to comfortably proceed. Unfortunately (or so I gather), I upgraded OTA to 2.3.6. Apparently we don't have much available yet that works for rooting from this update - with UKK6.

Reading through Entropy's kernel progress, it looks like his might be a possibility. Being a noob, I can't post this question directly in his thread, so I'll post it here...

Should I be able to root successfully from version 2.3.6, UCKK6, kernel 2.6.35.7 using Entropy's 1221 kernel?

If there's some other way I'd be better off accomplishing this, please let me know.

Thanks

Take a look in the [GUIDE]How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!! thread. Specifically, it seems that only 2c works ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It depends on what your long term goal is.

If you want stock UCKK6 rooted, and you plan to stay on that, then the best path is to flash UCKH7 Return/Unbrick to stock plus root, and then with wifi on, check for updates. Allow the OTA update to install, and the phone will retain root on fully stock UCKK6.

If you plan to install a custom ROM, then you can follow the above method to avoid tripping the flash counter, or you can use odin to install a ClockworkMod enabled kernel, such as Entropy's or Codeworx, and then directly flash the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
My goal...

Well, I don't plan on staying with UCKK6 once ICS becomes available, but that might be beyond the scope of this.

I want a rooted, close to stock, kernel, mainly for tethering. I think the additions of CWM backup and the ability to overclock/underclock & improve performance and battery life would be nice too. At this point I don't plan on loading a custom ROM, but who knows?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Probably then DD 12/21 is your best option.

Another option (if you don't want to trip the flash counter):

Update to KK6 to get the kernel.

Flash the prerooted system image in vladm7's thread for UCKK6 in the General forum using Heimdall or Odin. (or was it vlara's thread - one of them prepared the image, the other one posted the thread).

Sometime in a week or so I'm going to prep a UCKK6 return-to-stock package - basically the Odin One-Click minus bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:

I think this is vladm7's UCKK6 thread that Entropy512 is referring to:

For others searching for the same solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
vlara's system partition dump with superuser embedded download contains the file "system.img". It is not a tar, so I made an odin flashable tar with it, and tried to flash it, but the flash attempt failed immediately. I don't know if the system.img is faulty, or if it could be flashed with Heimdall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
Halfway there...

I completed your 2.c. process to root back to 2.3.4 UCKH7, but now my WiFi isn't working. Should I just flash Entropy's DD kernel with the WiFi fixes, or do the OTA without WiFi (will that trip a counter since I already had 2.3.6?)?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
There is no reason your wifi should fail on UCKH7 stock plus root. Did you do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery? If not, do that first and then reconnect to your wifi to see if it is working. It should.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
The wipe data/factory reset in recovery worked to restore wifi functionality.

I was smart enough to backup a bunch of stuff with Titanium - worked great.

Is it normal to have to re-do your widgets after a wipe/reset or did I miss something that would have backed them up? The widgets were there, but empty. I just had to re-apply them.

These phones just get cooler the more you dig into them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MysticKing32:
Hey guys. I have an over the air update available for the 2.3.6 and I accidentally pressed cancel and it says I have to wait another 20 hours to try again. Is there a way around this or am I stuck.

(PS. I rooted the phone and I'm on stock kernel so I should be fine in terms of keeping root)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Yes, that's normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
Okay, I know WiFi was working last night. This morning it stopped working again. It starts, searches, and shuts down, like it was doing before the restore. I don't want to have to keep doing that. Would installing Entropy's 12/21 DD possibly fix it?

Don't know. Best I can say is try it and see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattsmc2:
Did using 1221 on the latest stock work? If I just flash the kernel I won't get root will I? That's the other part I need to extract from the vladm7 stuff?

@mattsmc2

What are you trying to do? Are you wanting to root the UCKK6 update?

Basically, I would not mind running the kernel as well since it supposed to save on battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The kernel has instructions for rooting after you flash it.

NEVERMIND, I did not realize this kernel made CWM available...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
If you want something close to stock install gtg's custom ROM unNamed 2.2.1. If you already have CWM then just flash the full install. It is basically stock with more features(including free portable hotspot/tethering) and better performance. I wanted the same thing as you OP and am also new to android and I couldn't be happier with unnamed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattsmc2:
That's probably what I would have done if ICS was not released yet. I think I'll just wait for that. I have root working now and I have the built in tether fixed so that's all for now... =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
The rest of the story, so far...

I just returned from a week away, but wanted to post an update on what I did - and it worked to fix the WiFi.

I ended up using Mobile Odin to flash Zedomax's kernel.

I finished it late at night before leaving on a week-long trip. It fixed the WiFi and I was able to provide a hotspot for my kids' devices at grandpa's house where he doesn't have wifi.

I first tried to use one of Entropy's kernels but it seems they don't work with MobileOdin - (That's probably a "duh" comment, but I'm a n00b just learning this android stuff). Zedomax has a .tar file, and MO is super simple.

I'm ready to move on from here with a newer kernel, maybe something that allows me to overclock/underclock the cpu, and anything that might extend battery life. I'll have to read about the latest/greatest now that I'm back at it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Unzip the file and flash the zImage if you want to use MO.

I'm actually surprised zedo's kernel worked for wifi on UCKK6 - his is ancient. Maybe he used an initramfs from somewhere else that worked by sheer luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
That's what I think I tried to do. Is it the same as using a .tar file?

I'm not sure why it didn't work for me then, or what I may have done wrong/differently. I'll probably try it again with your latest DD in the next few days.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I'm not sure about MO. I kinda got spoiled by SGS Kernel Flasher on my old device - it could back up kernels as CWM zips, and then flash them!

It doesn't support the GS2 though.

BTW, if you're running a kernel that has working CWM (that, at the very least, should still be working in Zedo's kernel), you can just flash mine from CWM.

I'd offer Odin tars, but my upstream bandwidth is horrific and I don't want to clutter my thread even more. Anyone can just flash my kernel in CWM after flashing codeworkx's, or flashing the raw zImage using Heimdall or ADB. (All these methods are documented if you search around a bit.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxee:
Thanks, that sounds easy. I'll try it.
